You Can Do It

Ephesians 2:1-7


"And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins, ² in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience, ³ among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others.
⁴ But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, ⁵ even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), ⁶ and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, ⁷ that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus."


We are to do an complete turn-around, after understanding Jesus Christ death and resurrection on the cross.  There is to no longer be crying, complaining, or questioning life, here on earth.  Verses 1-2 says, "And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins, ² in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience."  We are now to come alive in our spirits, singing and praising, our Lord all the way to victory.  (Luke 12:49-50)  "I came to send fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!   But I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how distressed I am till it is accomplished!"  It has been accomplished, and our world today, acts as our ancestors did back then.  We only have more money to cover up our sins, but not before God.  This is not some joke, fairytale, or movie, this as to do with us saving our lives and souls.  I didn't know how serious the battle was with satan, until, I saw all my peers for who they were, and how superficial I once lived with them.  God has everything in His word to link us up to Him. However, He doesn't have time to stop running the world, because of our lack of faith in Him.  We must understand, we have a Father who's pure and holy, He's pristine, flawless, and on point, never missing a beat.  (1John 3:1-3)  "Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. ² Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. ³ And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure."  God is also love, real love, love that will send your heart and mind over the moon.  He's all about making dreams come true.  But remember, we must first learn how to live and die to our fleshly desires.  This is the type of world we live in, and hopefully, for eternity.  We have chances to live forever and ever, that should be enough incentive to kill our flesh and achieve it.  We're children of God, and it is what it is.  We must now learn to act as though.  You can do it.


(Philippians 2:5-8)  "Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, ⁶ who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, ⁷ but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. ⁸ And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross."


Blessings to all who humbles themselves to the obedient of Christ,
