AMPLIFIED 2015 | Ephesians 2:10 For we are His workmanship [His own master work, a work of art], created in Christ Jesus [reborn from above--spiritually transformed, renewed, ready to be used] for good works, which God prepared [for us] beforehand [taking paths which He set], so that we would walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us].

Subject: Discovering the will of God |
Bible Note: For JKW:About prophets today. It's true God is unchanging, but doesn't Heb 1:1,2 say his "ways" are different? Compare also Old Covenant and New Covenant. See also 1 Cor 13:8-10. Prophecies, knowledge, tongues, which will cease, are among the miraculous gifts given by the Holy Spirit (listed in 1 Cor 12.) Visualize "that which is perfect" as being God's written word as contained in scriptures. Concerning your quote of Joel: "in the last days...old men will dream dreams and see visions and your son's and daughters will give prophesy...," Peter said in Acts 2:16, "But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel." In other words, Joel's prophecy was being fulfilled as Peter spoke. So, the "last times" started about that time. More: Because of the words in Jude 3, "contend for the faith that was once for all entrusted to the saints," I get the idea there will be no new revelation or prophecy. Keep on reading; keep on studying; keep "the faith." J.Elkins |
