161 | Eph the rest of the answer CSM | Ephesians | C.S.M. | 154522 | ||
The rest of the answer C.S.M. The book of Ephesians for the Church... Don't ask me how, it just does! That will get you started on your quest to know what God has provided for believers in Christ. If a person were to try to explain every scripture you would miss the pleasure of asking God to teach you. He is, after all, the one who knows more than any human being could ever phathom, he wrote the book. Ask him to give you understanding, according to the prayer Paul prayed for all believers of all times Eph 1:15-23 as follows: Father, God of my Lord, Jesus Christ, you who are the Father of Glory, give unto me the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of you (and for the acknowledgement of you). Open the eyes of my understanding and enlighten them, that I may KNOW the hope of your calling the riches of your inheritance in the saints the exceeding greatness of your power to me because I believe the working of your mighty power KNOW the working you worked in Christ when you raised him from the dead! Know you set him at your own right hand in heaven KNow you set him FAR ABOVE all principality power might dominion every name that is named in this world and in the world to come and you put all things under his feet gave Jesus the head over all to the church the church is his body Jesus and the church is the fullness of God. Eph 2:4 God you are rich in mercy and your great love, Eph 2:5 made us alive together with Christ. How? Eph 1:6 God accepted us in Christ and that is God's Grace!!!! Eph 2:8 For by (God's acceptance of us in Christ Jesus)grace you are saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it (actuall He,Jesus) is the gift of God (to mankind for our salvation). That is the plan of God from before the foundation of the world according to Paul in Eph 3:3 the mystery; (as I wrote before in Eph Chapters 1 and 2, in a few words....whereby when you read you may UNDERSTAND my knowledge in the mystery of Christ).. REad the rest of the story through Chapter 6 to find out more... C.S.M. |

162 | What is Ephesians all about? | Ephesians | C.S.M. | 154521 | ||
Paul an Apostle (sent one) of Jesus Christ by the will of God to the saints...and to the faithful in Christ Jesus. Eph 1:1 is inclusive of the saints that then existed, and includes all those after that point in time that are "the faithful in Christ Jesus." We realize that God is outside of what we call time, he is eternal, from forever to forever, therefore the only one who is on a time frame is mankind. We understand, beginning, middle and end, but we don't truly understand "eternal" except in it's broadest sense and as it applies to God himself. Paul explains to all believers in Eph 3:3 that God had revealed to him his "plan of all ages", the mystery, in regards to mankind, from before the foundation of the world. This book, then, for the church is vital to our understanding of what God provided for us "before" he created the world in which we live. How do we know this? Jesus told a story in Luke 14:28-30 that reveals how God does things...For which of you, intending to build a tower, sits not down first, and counts the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it. Lest after ha has laid the foundation and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him, saying, this man began to build, and was not able to finish.... We realize that Jesus is our example and what he tells us is things he and God the Father do themselves. Therefore that information tells me that before God created the earth and said, "let us make man", us being plural and God talking to Jesus and the HOly Spirit, that they had taken everything into account "before" they even started the earth. Wouldn't it be hypocritical for God to expect mankind to do what he doesn't do himself? Paul then iterates what God revealed to him about his original plan for all believers in Christ for all ages. It is helpful to understand that in the old testament there were only two kinds of people in God's eyes, Jews and Gentiles,(all other nations who were not born Jewish, in the natural sense). God had covenant agreement with the Jewish people, and no agreement with the Gentiles (also called the nations). After Jesus came and defeated satan by complete obedience to God Heb 4:15 without sin, yet tempted just like all of mankind. Heb 2:14 says, because we had to come as natural human beings to resist the temptations of satan, he also came as a natural human and yet he was able, through complete obedience to God and his word, to "destroy the devil" and deliver mankind, while he was in the form of a man, a servant. Phil 2:7-11. Now what was "one" of the things Jesus came to create from the pool of all the folks from God's viewpoint. there were only two kinds in the old testament Jew and Gentile. Where was God going to get the third class of people, called "the church?" Of course we know he took people out of the pool of both Jew and Gentile to create the church. I Cor 12:32 Give none offence, neither to "the Jews", nor to the "Gentiles", nor to the "church of God", that's three kinds of groups, classes or people. Where did God get the Church? From the only two classes he recognized...Jew and Gentile. With that understanding, many of the scriptures in Ephesians will come alive to you. Back to the original premise. God wanted us to know through Paul, that he had already made provisions for believers in Christ..before the foundation of the world...I call that pre-planning don't you? Eph 1:4 Provision as follows: Eph 1:2 Grace and peace from God and Jesus Eph 1:3 blessed with ALL spiritual blessing in Christ (all not just a part or scrap) Eph 1:4 God chose us in Christ before he created the world to be holy and blameless before him Eph 1:5 God's will is to adopt us by Jesus Eph 1:6 God's grace is: he accepts us in Christ Eph 1:7 God's grace is: forgiveness of sins through the blood of Christ, aka redeemption.. Eph 1:8 God ran toward us in ALL wisdom and prudence..(excellent judgement when we were able to handle it.) Eph 1:9 God made know to mankind his will Eph 1:10 God is going to gather all things together in Christ Eph 1:11 God's inheirtance for us is in Christ, and he has a purpose for each of us according to his own will...you're special. Eph 1:12 Our trust in Christ is praise to God's glory. Eph 1:13 The gospel is the means by which we learned of God's provision for us, and God sealed us with the HOly Spirit of promise. Eph 1:14 The HOly Spirit is our down payment of our inheritance until God purchases our natural physical bodies at the rapture of the church. Eph 1:15 faith and love is our breastplate Eph 6:14, and it is called righteousness, it is made out of faith and love I Thes 5:8, so when you see the combination of faith and love together you know it's talking about God's righteousness. The armour God tells us to put on belongs to him.. Eph 6:11 Put on the whole ARMOUR OF GOD.... it's his, but one size fits all! |

Of course everyone thought oppression was of the human on human kind...Funny Jesus didn't think that was the source... Acts 10:38 God anointed Jesus with the Holy Ghost and power, who went about doing good and healing all THAT WERE OPPRESSED OF THE DEVIL! Poor Ol' Jesus, he missed it I guess? |

165 | Binding and loosing | Eph 5:22 | C.S.M. | 153906 | ||
Ephesians 5:22 Wives, be subject (be sumissive and ADAPT yourselves) to your own husbands as (a service) to the Lord. This rendering adapt yourselves to..is a better picture of the intent of this verse. It is alway an adaptation when two people get married. Both come from differing backgrounds, different expectations of what "life" together should be, and that is where the thorns on the rose show up. Adapting to your husband, in the Lord, is different than adapting to your husband if he is abusive, ungodly, and unwilling to know Christ and his way, truth and lifestyle. There is a scripture that states, "How can two walk together except they be agreed?" Amos 3:3 Of course that is God talking to Israel, but it also applies to any two people that desire to "walk together" in marriage, business, etc. Jesus put it this way, "house divided against itself cannot stand."Mark 3:25 So here we see in these words of God that agreement in God, his word, ways, means and directions is what eliminates division and disunity between a husband and wife. Of course we realize that satan is the one that comes to kill, steal and destroy, John 10:10, so guess what he will put in your home? Division, and disunity on the most important part of your life, your walk with God, in Jesus Christ. The key we must all realize that opens the doors to kick satan out of the situation is found in Ephe 6:12 "For we wrestle NOT against flesh and blood, but against principalitites, powers, rulers of the darkness (hatreds) of this world (system ran by satan), against wicked spirits in high places." This tells us our spouse is not our enemy, but these demonic beings behind the strife is the ones we are to resist. How? Jesus told us we have the power to bind and loose. That power was not given to bind and loose people, but to bind and loose spirits that harrass you or help you. You may say, what do you mean? We identified the wicked spirits in Ephe 6: that harrass all mankind. Jesus and all his followers were aware of satanic beings that cause all kinds of problems for mankind by whispering in the ear of a person, to fight the other person, or worse. Yet we are also aware of the Holy Spirit, who is in the business of leading us into all truth..it's his job description John 14:15, 26-27. So with this in mind, who do you think God intends for you to bind? satan and his followers who put all kinds of wrong thoughts, words, and deeds, out before a person. The person thinks it is them that is doing all this "thinking" and to them it sounds reasonable if they don't know Christ, so they act on those thoughts that come right from the devils mouth. (how do you know? If it isn't what God would say to you as a believer in him, it has come from satan.James 3:6) As for me, the way I pray on this issue is this: Father, in the name of Jesus, I bind satan, his principalities, powers, rulers of the darkness of this world, and wicked spirits in high places, from their operations behind the life of........ and according to your word, whatsoever I bind on earth is bound in heaven Matt 16:19 so therefore I thank you that these wicked spirits can no longer operate in the life of my loved one. I ask you to loose the Holy Spirit of God to shine the light of the glorious gospel into their mind to give them guidance and comfort in your way, truth and life (-style) and I give you praise it is done and it is so in the Name of Jesus. II Cor 4:3-4 For God, has commanded the light to shine out of darkness, and he has shined in our hearts (6) to give each of us the light of your word which is your knowledge of your glory in the face of Jesus Christ. Thank you Father, for always hearing and answering my prayers, in the Holy name of Jesus. Amen.. As far as your other questions, I don't have any comment or knowledge of the subjects. May God be the guide in your home for unity and agreement in him, for a bit of heaven on earth.... |
