We Are Family

           `
Ephesians 6

Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. ² “Honor your father and mother,” which is the first commandment with promise: ³ “that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth.” ⁴ And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord.

⁵ Bondservants, be obedient to those who are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in sincerity of heart, as to Christ; ⁶ not with eye service, as men-pleasers, but as bondservants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart, ⁷ with goodwill doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men, ⁸ knowing that whatever good anyone does, he will receive the same from the Lord, whether he is a slave or free.⁹ And you, masters, do the same things to them, giving up threatening, knowing that your own Master also is in heaven, and there is no partiality with Him.¹⁰ Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.

¹¹ Put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. ¹² For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. ¹³ Therefore take up the whole armor of God that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.¹⁴ Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, ¹⁵ and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; ¹⁶ above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. ¹⁷ And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; ¹⁸ praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints— ¹⁹ and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel, ²⁰ for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak. 

 

We again have to understand that our Bible was written for our whole world.  A book that was to be read, embraced, and then executed to keep God happy and satan in a mind of confusion.  We are God’s children in God’s kingdom and the commandment is to move about it in the spirit of love for all.  This goes for the billionaires, millionaires, middle class, and poor.  We are to talk about our plans, goals, and missions to one another in the context and protocol of God’s scripture.  The big companies and conglomerates are to build their industries off the foundation of the Bible, so God will receive His due credit.  This is also so our hearts and minds will stay at rest, in peace and with love, no matter how hard satan may try to come against it. Then we are to share our testimonies and how God launched them into success.  God says we are to talk about Him in the morning, noon, and night, enjoying one another and our journeys as God has blessed us with them.  We are to be accountable to each other as iron sharpens iron to keep ourselves on track,  and reaching for the upward call of Heaven.  Our Bibles are here to teach us love, peace, and contentment so our hearts will stay in a place of joy.  Come together world, we are family.

 

Blessings to our world as we unite,
