PUT ON THE FULL ARMOR OF GOD BECAUSE OUR STRUGGLE IS NOT WITH FLESH AND BLOOD BUT WITH THE SPIRITUAL FORCES OF EVIL!

 THERE IS ONLY "ONE" GOD AND TO THE ONE GOD I SAY, GOD I KNOW THE TRUTH TODAY YOUR WORD, AND GOD I UNDERSTAND YOUR WORD TODAY, GOD YOUR WORD IS THE TRUTH I STAND UNDER. GOD,"SANCTIFY ME BY THE TRUTH; YOUR WORD IS THE TRUTH." (John 17:17) AMEN!

I AM NOT ASHAMED OF THE GOSPEL, BECAUSE IT IS THE POWER OF GOD FOR THE SPIRITUAL SALVATION OF EVERYONE WHO BELIEVES: FIRST FOR THE JEW, THEN FOR THE GENTILE. FOR IN THE GOSPEL A RIGHTEOUSNESS FROM GOD IS REVEALED, A RIGHTEOUSNESS THAT IS BY FAITH FROM FIRST TO LAST, JUST AS IT IS WRITTEN: "THE RIGHTEOUS WILL LIVE BY FAITH." (Rom.1:16-17)

ABOVE ALL, YOU MUST UNDERSTAND THAT NO PROPHECY OF SCRIPTURE CAME ABOUT BY THE PROPHET'S OWN INTERPRETATION. FOR PROPHECY NEVER HAD ITS ORIGIN IN THE WILL OF MAN, BUT MEN SPOKE FROM GOD AS THEY WERE CARRIED ALONG BY THE HOLY SPIRIT. (2 Peter 1:20)

AND GOD HAS COMMITTED TO US THE MESSAGE OF RECONCILIATION. WE ARE THEREFORE CHRIST'S AMBASSADORS, AS THOUGH GOD WERE MAKING GOD'S APPEAL THROUGH US. WE IMPLORE YOU ON CHRIST'S BEHALF: BE RECONCILED TO GOD. GOD MADE CHRIST WHO HAD NO SIN TO BE SIN FOR US, SO THAT IN CHRIST WE MIGHT BECOME THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD. (2 Cor.5:19b-21)

BUT AS FOR YOU, CONTINUE IN WHAT YOU HAVE LEARNED AND HAVE BECOME CONVINCED OF, BECAUSE YOU KNOW THOSE FROM WHOM YOU LEARNED IT, AND HOW FROM INFANCY YOU HAVE KNOWN THE HOLY SCRIPTURES, WHICH ARE ABLE TO MAKE YOU WISE FOR SPIRITUAL SALVATION THROUGH FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS. ALL SCRIPTURE IS GOD BREATHED AND IS USEFUL FOR TEACHING, REBUKING, CORRECTING AND TRAINING IN RIGHTEOUSNESS, SO THAT THE MAN OF GOD MAY BE THOROUGHLY EQUIPPED FOR EVERY GOOD WORK. (2 Tim. 3:14-17)

WE ARE CALLED TO BE DISCIPLES OF JESUS, "JESUS SAID FOLLOW ME". WE ALL GET THE SAME THING, GOD LOVES US ALL, WE HAVE  NO MORE RIGHTS THAN ANYBODY ELSE. THERE IS A PLACE AT THE TABLE FOR US ALL. WE ARE TO SHARE GOD'S LOVE WITH EVERYONE WE MEET.

"BUT IF ANYONE OBEYS GOD'S WORD, GOD'S LOVE IS TRULY MADE COMPLETE IN HIM. THIS IS HOW WE KNOW WE ARE IN GOD: WHOEVER CLAIMS TO LIVE IN GOD MUST WALK AS JESUS DID." (1 John 2:5-6) "GODS WORD IS GOD'S LOVE"!

WE DO, HOWEVER, SPEAK A MESSAGE OF WISDOM AMONG THE MATURE, BUT NOT THE WISDOM OF THIS AGE OR OF THE RULERS OF THIS AGE, WHO ARE COMING TO NOTHING. NO WE SPEAK OF GOD'S SCERET WISDOM, A WISDOM THAT HAS BEEN HIDDEN AND THAT GOD DESTINED FOR OUR GLORY BEFORE TIME BEGAN. NONE OF THE RULERS OF THIS AGE UNDERSTOOD IT, FOR IF THEY HAD, THEY WOULD NOT HAVE CRUCIFIED THE LORD OF GLORY. (1 Cor. 2:6-8)

PUT ON THE FULL ARMOR OF GOD 

FINALLY, BE STRONG IN THE LORD AND IN THE LORDS MIGHTY POWER. PUT ON THE FULL ARMOR OF GOD SO THAT YOU CAN TAKE YOUR STAND AGAINST THE DEVIL'S SCHEMES. FOR OUR STRUGGLE IS NOT AGAINST FLESH AND BLOOD, BUT AGAINST THE RULERS, AGAINST THE AUTHORITIES, AGAINST THE POWERS OF THIS DARK WORLD AND AGAINST THE SPIRITUAL FORCES OF EVIL IN THE HEAVENLY REALMS.

THEREFORE PUT ON THE FULL ARMOR OF GOD, SO THAT WHEN THE DAY OF EVIL COMES, YOU MAY BE ABLE TO STAND YOUR GROUND, AND AFTER YOU HAVE DONE EVERYTHING, TO STAND. STAND FIRM THEN, WITH THE BELT OF TRUTH BUCKLED AROUND YOUR WAIST, WITH THE BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS IN PLACE, AND WITH YOUR FEET FITTED WITH THE READINESS THAT COMES FROM THE GOSPEL OF PEACE. 

IN ADDITION TO ALL THIS, TAKE UP THE SHEILD OF FAITH, WITH WHICH YOU CAN EXTINGUISH ALL THE FLAMING ARROWS OF THE EVIL ONE. TAKE THE HELMET OF SPIRITUAL SALVATION AND THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT, WHICH IS THE WORD OF GOD. AND PRAY IN THE SPIRIT ON ALL OCCASIONS WITH ALL KINDS OF PRAYERS AND REQUESTS. WITH THIS IN MIND BE ALERT AND ALWAYS KEEP ON PRAYING FOR ALL THE SAINTS.

PRAY ALSO FOR ME, THAT WHENEVER I OPEN MY MOUTH, WORDS MAY BE GIVEN ME SO THAT I WILL FEARLESSLY MAKE KNOWN THE MYSTERY OF THE GOSPEL, FOR WHICH I AM AN AMBASSADOR IN CHAINS. PRAY THAT I MAY DECLARE IT FEARLESSLY, AS I SHOULD. (Eph.6:10-20)

I AM GOD'S POSSESSION AND GOD WORKS IN AND THROUGH ME EVERYDAY SO THAT I AM THOROUGHLY EQUIPPED FOR EVERY GOOD WORK. GOD IS THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS, AND THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS TO US IS OUR SPIRITUAL RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD. THROUGH SPIRITUAL PROCESSING GOD IS TRANSFORMING US TO BE THE BODY OF THE RISEN CHRIST IN THE WORLD.

APOSTLES OF CHRIST

SO THEN, MEN OUGHT TO REGARD US AS SERVANTS OF CHRIST AND AS THOSE ENTRUSTED WITH THE SECRET THINGS OF GOD.

"NOW" IT IS REQUIRED THAT THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN GIVEN A TRUST MUST PROVE FAITHFUL. I CARE VERY LITTLE IF I AM JUDGE BY YOU OR BY ANY HUMAN COURT; INDEED, I DO NOT EVEN JUDGE MYSELF. MY CONSCIENCE IS CLEAR, BUT THAT DOES NOT MAKE ME INNOCENT. IT IS THE LORD WHO JUDGES ME. (1 Cor.4:1-4)

BUT AS SURELY AS GOD IS FAITHFUL, OUR MESSAGE TO YOU IS NOT "YES" AND "NO." FOR THE SON OF GOD, JESUS CHRIST, WHO WAS PREACHED AMONG YOU BY ME AND SILAS AND TIMOTHY, WAS NOT "YES" AND "NO," BUT IN CHRIST IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN "YES." FOR NO MATTER HOW MANY PROMISES GOD HAS MADE, THEY ARE "YES" IN CHRIST.

AND SO THROUGH CHRIST THE "AMEN" IS SPOKEN BY US TO THE GLORY OF GOD. NOW IT IS GOD WHO MAKES BOTH US AND YOU STAND FIRM IN CHRIST. GOD ANOINTED US, SET GOD'S SEAL OF OWNERSHIP ON US, AND PUT GOD'S SPIRIT IN OUR HEARTS AS A DEPOSIT, GUARANTEEING WHAT IS TO COME. (2 Cor.1:18-22)

THOSE WHO OBEY GOD'S COMMANDS LIVE IN GOD, AND GOD IN THEM. AND THIS IS HOW WE KNOW THAT GOD LIVES IN US: WE KNOW IT BY THE SPIRIT GOD GAVE US. (1 John 3:24)

WE ARE FROM GOD, AND WHOEVER KNOWS GOD LISTENS TO US; BUT WHOEVER IS NOT FROM GOD DOES NOT LISTEN TO US. THIS IS HOW WE RECOGNIZE THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH AND THE SPIRIT OF FALSEHOOD. (1 John 4:6)

NO ONE HAS EVER SEEN GOD; BUT IF WE LOVE ONE ANOTHER, GOD LIVES IN US AND GOD'S LOVE IS MADE COMPLETE IN US.

WE KNOW THAT WE LIVE IN GOD AND GOD IN US, BECAUSE GOD HAS GIVEN US OF GOD'S SPIRIT. AND WE HAVE SEEN AND TESTIFY THAT THE FATHER HAS SENT HIS SON TO BE THE SAVIOR OF THE WORLD. (1John 4:12-14)

CAN I GET AN AMEN FROM ALL WHO CALL ON GOD. AMEN!

TODAY I HAVE A COVENANT WITH GOD, GOD HAS PUT HIS LAWS IN MY HEART AND GOD HAS WROTE THEM ON MY MIND. MY COVENANT WITH GOD IS MY PERSONAL PATHWAY TO GOD. BY SPEAKING THE WORDS OF THIS COVENANT OUT OF MY MOUTH BACK INTO MY HEART IT STRENGTHEN MY FAITH.

AS YOU COME TO CHRIST, THE LIVING STONE - REJECTED BY MEN BUT CHOSEN BY GOD AND PRECIOUS TO GOD - YOU ALSO, LIKE LIVING STONES, ARE BEING BUILT INTO A SPIRITUAL HOUSE TO BE A HOLY PRIESTHOOD, OFFERING SPIRITUAL SACRIFICES ACCEPTABLE TO GOD THROUGH JESUS CHRIST.

FOR IN SCRIPTURE IT SAYS: "SEE, I LAY A STONE IN ZION, A CHOSEN AND PRECIOUS CORNERSTONE, AND THE ONE WHO TRUST IN CHRIST WILL NEVER BE PUT TO SHAME." (1 Peter2:4-6)

CHRIST WAS CHOSEN BEFORE THE CREATION OF THE WORLD, BUT WAS REVEALED IN THESE LAST TIMES FOR YOUR SAKE. THROUGH CHRIST YOU BELIEVE IN GOD, WHO RAISED CHRIST FROM THE DEAD AND GLORIFIED CHRIST, AND SO YOUR FAITH AND HOPE ARE IN GOD. (1 Peter 1:20-21)

I AM CHRIST LIKE AND I HAVE BEEN CALLED BY GOD , AND I AM THE FIRSTBORN OF MANY BROTHERS AND I AM A CHILD OF GOD, AND I WORSHIP GOD IN SPIRIT AND TRUTH!

"YET A TIME IS COMING AND HAS "NOW" COME WHEN TRUE WORSHIPERS WILL WORSHIP THE FATHER IN SPIRIT  AND TRUTH, FOR THEY ARE THE KIND OF WORSHIPERS THE FATHER SEEKS. GOD IS SPIRIT, AND GOD WORSHIPERS MUST WORSHIP IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH." (John 4:23-24)

BE IMITATORS OF GOD BY OBEYING GOD'S WORD!

 THERE IS ONLY "ONE" GOD AND TO THE ONE GOD I SAY, GOD I KNOW THE TRUTH TODAY YOUR WORD, AND GOD I UNDERSTAND YOUR WORD TODAY, GOD YOUR WORD IS THE TRUTH I STAND UNDER. GOD,"SANCTIFY ME BY THE TRUTH; YOUR WORD IS THE TRUTH." (John 17:17) AMEN!

I AM NOT ASHAMED OF THE GOSPEL, BECAUSE IT IS THE POWER OF GOD FOR THE SPIRITUAL SALVATION OF EVERYONE WHO BELIEVES: FIRST FOR THE JEW, THEN FOR THE GENTILE.

ALL SCRIPTURE IS GOD BREATHED AND IS USEFUL FOR TEACHING, REBUKING, CORRECTING AND TRAINING IN RIGHTEOUSNESS, SO THAT THE MAN OF GOD MAY BE THOROUGHLY EQUIPPED FOR EVERY GOOD WORK. (2 Tim. 3:14-17)

"BUT IF ANYONE OBEYS GOD'S WORD, GOD'S LOVE IS TRULY MADE COMPLETE IN HIM. THIS IS HOW WE KNOW WE ARE IN GOD: WHOEVER CLAIMS TO LIVE IN GOD MUST WALK AS JESUS DID." (1 John 2:5-6) "GODS WORD IS GOD'S LOVE"!

WE DO, HOWEVER, SPEAK A MESSAGE OF WISDOM AMONG THE MATURE, BUT NOT THE WISDOM OF THIS AGE OR OF THE RULERS OF THIS AGE, WHO ARE COMING TO NOTHING. NO WE SPEAK OF GOD'S SCERET WISDOM, A WISDOM THAT HAS BEEN HIDDEN AND THAT GOD DESTINED FOR OUR GLORY BEFORE TIME BEGAN. NONE OF THE RULERS OF THIS AGE UNDERSTOOD IT, FOR IF THEY HAD, THEY WOULD NOT HAVE CRUCIFIED THE LORD OF GLORY. (1 Cor. 2:6-8)

BE IMITATORS OF GOD BY OBEYING GOD'S WORD!

BE IMITATORS OF GOD, THEREFORE, AS DEARLY LOVED CHILDREN AND LIVE A LIFE OF LOVE, JUST AS CHRIST LOVED US AND GAVE HIMSELF UP FOR US AS A FRAGRANT OFFERING AND SACRIFICE TO GOD. BUT AMONG YOU THERE MUST NOT BE EVEN A HINT OF SEXUAL IMMORALITY, OR OF ANY KIND OF IMPURITY, OR OF GREED, BECAUSE THESE ARE IMPROPER FOR GOD'S HOLY PEOPLE.

NOR SHOULD THERE BE OBSCENITY, FOOLISH TALK OR COARSE JOKING, WHICH ARE OUT OF PLACE, BUT RATHER THANKSGIVING. FOR OF THIS YOU CAN BE SURE: NO IMMORAL, IMPURE OR GREEDY PERSON - SUCH A MAN IS AN IDOLATER - HAS ANY INHERITANCE IN THE KINGDOM OF CHRIST AND OF GOD. LET NO ONE DECEIVE YOU WITH EMPTY WORDS, FOR BECAUSE OF SUCH THINGS GOD'S WRATH COMES ON THOSE WHO ARE DISOBEDIENT. THEREFORE DO NOT BE PARTNERS WITH THEM.

FOR YOU WERE ONCE DARKNESS, BUT NOW YOU ARE LIGHT IN THE LORD. LIVE AS CHILDREN OF LIGHT (FOR THE FRUIT OF THE LIGHT CONSISTS IN ALL GOODNESS, RIGHTEOUSNESS AND TRUTH) AND FIND OUT WHAT PLEASES THE LORD. HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE FRUITLESS DEEDS OF DARKNESS, BUT RATHER EXPOSE THEM. FOR IT IS SHAMEFUL EVEN TO MENTION WHAT THE DISOBEDIENT DO IN SECRET. 

BUT EVERYTHING EXPOSED BY THE LIGHT BECOMES VISIBLE, FOR IT IS LIGHT THAT MAKES EVERYTHING VISIBLE. THIS IS WHY IT IS SAID: "WAKE UP, O SLEPPER, RISE FROM THE DEAD, AND CHRIST WILL SHINE ON YOU." BE VERY CAREFUL, THEN, HOW YOU LIVE - NOT AS UNWISE BUT AS WISE, MAKING THE MOST OF EVERY OPPORTUNITY, BECAUSE THE DAYS ARE EVIL. THEREFORE DO NOT BE FOOLISH, BUT UNDERSTAND WHAT THE LORD'S WILL IS.

DO NOT GET DRUNK ON WINE, WHICH LEADS TO DEBAUCHERY. INSTEAD, BE FILLED WITH THE SPIRIT. SPEAK TO ONE ANOTHER WITH PSALMS, HYMNS AND SPIRITUAL SONGS. SING AND MAKE MUSIC IN YOUR HEART TO THE LORD, ALWAYS GIVING THANKS TO GOD THE FATHER FOR EVERYTHING, IN THE NAME OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. SUBMIT TO ONE ANOTHER OUT OF REVERENCE FOR CHRIST. (Eph.5:1-21)

I AM GOD'S POSSESSION AND GOD WORKS IN AND THROUGH ME EVERYDAY SO THAT I AM THOROUGHLY EQUIPPED FOR EVERY GOOD WORK. GOD IS THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS, AND THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS TO US IS OUR SPIRITUAL RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD. THROUGH SPIRITUAL PROCESSING GOD IS TRANSFORMING US TO BE THE BODY OF THE RISEN CHRIST IN THE WORLD.

LIVING AS CHILDREN OF LIGHT IN A WORLD FILLED WITH DARKNESS!

 THERE IS ONLY "ONE" GOD AND TO THE ONE GOD I SAY, GOD I KNOW THE TRUTH TODAY YOUR WORD, AND GOD I UNDERSTAND YOUR WORD TODAY, GOD YOUR WORD IS THE TRUTH I STAND UNDER. GOD, SANCTIFY ME BY THE TRUTH; GOD, YOUR WORD IS THE TRUTH. AMEN!

I AM NOT ASHAMED OF THE GOSPEL, BECAUSE IT IS THE POWER OF GOD FOR THE SPIRITUAL SALVATION OF EVERYONE WHO BELIEVES: FIRST FOR THE JEW, THEN FOR THE GENTILE. FOR IN THE GOSPEL A RIGHTEOUSNESS FROM GOD IS REVEALED, A RIGHTEOUSNESS THAT IS BY FAITH FROM FIRST TO LAST, JUST AS IT IS WRITTEN: "THE RIGHTEOUS WILL LIVE BY FAITH." (Rom.1:16-17)

ABOVE ALL, YOU MUST UNDERSTAND THAT NO PROPHECY OF SCRIPTURE CAME ABOUT BY THE PROPHET'S OWN INTERPRETATION. FOR PROPHECY NEVER HAD ITS ORIGIN IN THE WILL OF MAN, BUT MEN SPOKE FROM GOD AS THEY WERE CARRIED ALONG BY THE HOLY SPIRIT. (2 Peter 1:20)

AND GOD HAS COMMITTED TO US THE MESSAGE OF RECONCILIATION. WE ARE THEREFORE CHRIST'S AMBASSADORS, AS THOUGH GOD WERE MAKING GOD'S APPEAL THROUGH US. WE IMPLORE YOU ON CHRIST'S BEHALF: BE RECONCILED TO GOD. GOD MADE CHRIST WHO HAD NO SIN TO BE SIN FOR US, SO THAT IN CHRIST WE MIGHT BECOME THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD. (2 Cor.5:19b-21)

BUT AS FOR YOU, CONTINUE IN WHAT YOU HAVE LEARNED AND HAVE BECOME CONVINCED OF, BECAUSE YOU KNOW THOSE FROM WHOM YOU LEARNED IT, AND HOW FROM INFANCY YOU HAVE KNOWN THE HOLY SCRIPTURES, WHICH ARE ABLE TO MAKE YOU WISE FOR SPIRITUAL SALVATION THROUGH FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS. ALL SCRIPTURE IS GOD BREATHED AND IS USEFUL FOR TEACHING, REBUKING, CORRECTING AND TRAINING IN RIGHTEOUSNESS, SO THAT THE MAN OF GOD MAY BE THOROUGHLY EQUIPPED FOR EVERY GOOD WORK. (2 Tim. 3:14-17)

WE ARE CALLED TO BE DISCIPLES OF JESUS, "JESUS SAID FOLLOW ME". WE ALL GET THE SAME THING, GOD LOVES US ALL, WE HAVE  NO MORE RIGHTS THAN ANYBODY ELSE. THERE IS A PLACE AT THE TABLE FOR US ALL. WE ARE TO SHARE GOD'S LOVE WITH EVERYONE WE MEET.

"BUT IF ANYONE OBEYS GOD'S WORD, GOD'S LOVE IS TRULY MADE COMPLETE IN HIM. THIS IS HOW WE KNOW WE ARE IN GOD: WHOEVER CLAIMS TO LIVE IN GOD MUST WALK AS JESUS DID." (1 John 2:5-6) "GODS WORD IS GOD'S LOVE"!

WE DO, HOWEVER, SPEAK A MESSAGE OF WISDOM AMONG THE MATURE, BUT NOT THE WISDOM OF THIS AGE OR OF THE RULERS OF THIS AGE, WHO ARE COMING TO NOTHING. NO WE SPEAK OF GOD'S SCERET WISDOM, A WISDOM THAT HAS BEEN HIDDEN AND THAT GOD DESTINED FOR OUR GLORY BEFORE TIME BEGAN. NONE OF THE RULERS OF THIS AGE UNDERSTOOD IT, FOR IF THEY HAD, THEY WOULD NOT HAVE CRUCIFIED THE LORD OF GLORY. (1 Cor. 2:6-8)

LIVING AS CHILDREN OF LIGHT

SO I TELL YOU THIS, AND INSIST ON IT IN THE LORD, THAT YOU MUST NO LONGER LIVE AS THE GENTILES DO, IN THE FUTILITY OF THEIR THINKING. THEY ARE DARKENED IN THEIR UNDERSTANDING AND SEPARATED FROM THE LIFE OF GOD BECAUSE OF THE IGNORANCE THAT IS IN THEM DUE TO THE HARDENING OF THEIR HEARTS. HAVEING LOST ALL SENSITIVITY, THEY HAVE GIVEN THEMSELVES OVER TO SENSUALITY SO AS TO INDULGE IN EVERY KIND OF IMPURITY, WITH A CONTINUAL LUST FOR MORE.

YOU, HOWEVER, DID NOT COME TO KNOW CHRIST THAT WAY. SURELY YOU HEARD OF CHRIST AND WERE TAUGHT IN CHRIST IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TRUTH THAT IS IN JESUS. YOU WERE TAUGHT, WITH REGARD TO YOUR FORMER WAY OF LIFE, TO PUT OFF YOUR OLD SELF, WHICH IS BEING CORRUPTED BY ITS DECEITFUL DESIRES; TO BE MADE NEW IN THE ATTITUDE OF YOUR MINDS; AND TO PUT ON THE NEW SELF, CREATED TO BE LIKE GOD IN TRUE RIGHTEOUSNESS AND HOLINESS.

THEREFORE EACH OF YOU MUST PUT OFF FALSEHOOD AND SPEAK TRUTHFULLY TO HIS NEIGHBOR, FOR WE ARE ALL MEMBERS OF ONE BODY. "IN YOUR ANGER DO NOT SIN": DO NOT LET THE SUN GO DOWN WHILE YOU ARE STILL ANGRY, AND DO NOT GIVE THE DEVIL A FOOTHOLD. HE WHO HAS BEEN STEALING MUST STEAL NO LONGER, BUT MUST WORK, DOING SOMETHING USEFUL WITH HIS OWN HANDS, THAT HE MAY HAVE SOMETHING TO SHARE WITH THOSE IN NEED.

DO NOT LET ANY UNWHOLESOME TALK COME OUT OF YOUR MOUTHS, BUT ONLY WHAT IS HELPFUL FOR BUILDING OTHERS UP ACCORDING TO THEIR NEEDS, THAT IT MAY BENEFIT THOSE WHO LISTEN. AND DO NOT GRIEVE THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD, WITH WHOM YOU WERE SEALED FOR THE DAY OF REDEMPTION.

GET RID OF ALL BITTERNESS, RAGE AND ANGER, BRAWLING AND SLANDER, ALONG WITH EVERY FORM OF MALICE. BE KIND AND COMPASSIONATE TO ONE ANOTHER, FORGIVING EACH OTHER, JUST AS IN CHRIST GOD FORGAVE YOU. (Eph.4:17-32) 

I AM GOD'S POSSESSION AND GOD WORKS IN AND THROUGH ME EVERYDAY SO THAT I AM THOROUGHLY EQUIPPED FOR EVERY GOOD WORK. GOD IS THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS, AND THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS TO US IS OUR SPIRITUAL RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD. THROUGH SPIRITUAL PROCESSING GOD IS TRANSFORMING US TO BE THE BODY OF THE RISEN CHRIST IN THE WORLD.

THIS IS WHY GOD SAYS: "WHEN CHRIST ASCENDED ON HIGH, CHRIST LED CAPTIVES IN HIS TRAIN AND GAVE GIFTS TO MEN."!

THERE IS ONLY "ONE" GOD AND TO THE ONE GOD I SAY, GOD I KNOW THE TRUTH TODAY YOUR WORD, AND GOD I UNDERSTAND YOUR WORD TODAY, GOD YOUR WORD IS THE TRUTH I STAND UNDER. GOD, SANCTIFY ME BY THE TRUTH; GOD, YOUR WORD IS THE TRUTH. AMEN!

I AM NOT ASHAMED OF THE GOSPEL, BECAUSE IT IS THE POWER OF GOD FOR THE SPIRITUAL SALVATION OF EVERYONE WHO BELIEVES: FIRST FOR THE JEW, THEN FOR THE GENTILE. FOR IN THE GOSPEL A RIGHTEOUSNESS FROM GOD IS REVEALED, A RIGHTEOUSNESS THAT IS BY FAITH FROM FIRST TO LAST, JUST AS IT IS WRITTEN: "THE RIGHTEOUS WILL LIVE BY FAITH." (Rom.1:16-17)

ABOVE ALL, YOU MUST UNDERSTAND THAT NO PROPHECY OF SCRIPTURE CAME ABOUT BY THE PROPHET'S OWN INTERPRETATION. FOR PROPHECY NEVER HAD ITS ORIGIN IN THE WILL OF MAN, BUT MEN SPOKE FROM GOD AS THEY WERE CARRIED ALONG BY THE HOLY SPIRIT. (2 Peter 1:20)

AND GOD HAS COMMITTED TO US THE MESSAGE OF RECONCILIATION. WE ARE THEREFORE CHRIST'S AMBASSADORS, AS THOUGH GOD WERE MAKING GOD'S APPEAL THROUGH US. WE IMPLORE YOU ON CHRIST'S BEHALF: BE RECONCILED TO GOD. GOD MADE CHRIST WHO HAD NO SIN TO BE SIN FOR US, SO THAT IN CHRIST WE MIGHT BECOME THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD. (2 Cor.5:19b-21)

BUT AS FOR YOU, CONTINUE IN WHAT YOU HAVE LEARNED AND HAVE BECOME CONVINCED OF, BECAUSE YOU KNOW THOSE FROM WHOM YOU LEARNED IT, AND HOW FROM INFANCY YOU HAVE KNOWN THE HOLY SCRIPTURES, WHICH ARE ABLE TO MAKE YOU WISE FOR SPIRITUAL SALVATION THROUGH FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS. ALL SCRIPTURE IS GOD BREATHED AND IS USEFUL FOR TEACHING, REBUKING, CORRECTING AND TRAINING IN RIGHTEOUSNESS, SO THAT THE MAN OF GOD MAY BE THOROUGHLY EQUIPPED FOR EVERY GOOD WORK. (2 Tim. 3:14-17)

WE ARE CALLED TO BE DISCIPLES OF JESUS, "JESUS SAID FOLLOW ME". WE ALL GET THE SAME THING, GOD LOVES US ALL, WE HAVE  NO MORE RIGHTS THAN ANYBODY ELSE. THERE IS A PLACE AT THE TABLE FOR US ALL. WE ARE TO SHARE GOD'S LOVE WITH EVERYONE WE MEET.

"BUT IF ANYONE OBEYS GOD'S WORD, GOD'S LOVE IS TRULY MADE COMPLETE IN HIM. THIS IS HOW WE KNOW WE ARE IN GOD: WHOEVER CLAIMS TO LIVE IN GOD MUST WALK AS JESUS DID." (1 John 2:5-6) "GODS WORD IS GOD'S LOVE"!

WE DO, HOWEVER, SPEAK A MESSAGE OF WISDOM AMONG THE MATURE, BUT NOT THE WISDOM OF THIS AGE OR OF THE RULERS OF THIS AGE, WHO ARE COMING TO NOTHING. NO WE SPEAK OF GOD'S SCERET WISDOM, A WISDOM THAT HAS BEEN HIDDEN AND THAT GOD DESTINED FOR OUR GLORY BEFORE TIME BEGAN. NONE OF THE RULERS OF THIS AGE UNDERSTOOD IT, FOR IF THEY HAD, THEY WOULD NOT HAVE CRUCIFIED THE LORD OF GLORY. (1 Cor. 2:6-8)

THIS IS WHY GOD SAYS: "WHEN CHRIST ASCENDED ON HIGH, CHRIST LED CAPTIVES IN HIS TRAIN AND GAVE GIFTS TO MEN."

WHAT DOES "CHRIST ASCENDED" MEAN EXCEPT THAT CHRIST ALSO DESCENDED TO THE LOWER, EARTHLY REGIONS? CHRIST WHO DESCENDED IS THE VERY ONE WHO ASCENDED HIGHER THAN ALL THE HEAVENS, IN ORDER TO FILL THE WHOLE UNIVERSE.

IT WAS CHRIST WHO GAVE SOME TO BE APOSTLES, SOME TO BE PROPHETS, SOME TO BE EVANGELISTS, AND SOME TO BE PASTORS AND TEACHERS, TO PREPARE GOD'S PEOPLE FOR WORKS OF SERVICE, SO THAT THE BODY OF CHRIST MAY BE BUILT UP UNTIL WE ALL REACH UNITY IN THE FAITH AND IN THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE SON OF GOD AND BECOME MATURE, ATTAINING TO THE WHOLE MEASURE OF THE FULLNESS OF CHRIST.

THEN WE WILL NO LONGER BE INFANTS, TOSSED BACK AND FORTH BY THE WAVES, AND BLOWN HERE AND THERE BY EVERY WIND OF TEACHING AND BY THE CUNNING AND CRAFTINESS OF MEN IN THEIR DECEITFUL SHEMING. INSTEAD, SPEAKING THE TRUTH IN LOVE, WE WILL IN ALL THINGS GROW UP INTO HIM WHO IS THE HEAD, THAT IS, CHRIST. FROM CHRIST THE WHOLE BODY, JOINED AND HELD TOGETHER BY EVERY SUPPORTING LIGAMENT, GROWS AND BUILDS ITSELF UP IN LOVE, AS EACH PART DOES ITS WORK. (Eph.4:8-16)

I AM GOD'S POSSESSION AND GOD WORKS IN AND THROUGH ME EVERYDAY SO THAT I AM THOROUGHLY EQUIPPED FOR EVERY GOOD WORK. GOD IS THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS, AND THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS TO US IS OUR SPIRITUAL RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD. THROUGH SPIRITUAL PROCESSING GOD IS TRANSFORMING US TO BE THE BODY OF THE RISEN 

CHRIST IN THE WORLD.

THOSE WHO OBEY GOD'S COMMANDS LIVE IN GOD, AND GOD IN THEM. AND THIS IS HOW WE KNOW THAT GOD LIVES IN US: WE KNOW IT BY THE SPIRIT GOD GAVE US. (1 John 3:24)

WE ARE FROM GOD, AND WHOEVER KNOWS GOD LISTENS TO US; BUT WHOEVER IS NOT FROM GOD DOES NOT LISTEN TO US. THIS IS HOW WE RECOGNIZE THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH AND THE SPIRIT OF FALSEHOOD. (1 John 4:6)

NO ONE HAS EVER SEEN GOD; BUT IF WE LOVE ONE ANOTHER, GOD LIVES IN US AND GOD'S LOVE IS MADE COMPLETE IN US.

WE KNOW THAT WE LIVE IN GOD AND GOD IN US, BECAUSE GOD HAS GIVEN US OF GOD'S SPIRIT. AND WE HAVE SEEN AND TESTIFY THAT THE FATHER HAS SENT HIS SON TO BE THE SAVIOR OF THE WORLD. (1John 4:12-14)

CAN I GET AN AMEN FROM ALL WHO CALL ON GOD. AMEN!

TODAY I HAVE A COVENANT WITH GOD, GOD HAS PUT HIS LAWS IN MY HEART AND GOD HAS WROTE THEM ON MY MIND. MY COVENANT WITH GOD IS MY PERSONAL PATHWAY TO GOD. BY SPEAKING THE WORDS OF THIS COVENANT OUT OF MY MOUTH BACK INTO MY HEART IT STRENGTHEN MY FAITH.

AS YOU COME TO CHRIST, THE LIVING STONE - REJECTED BY MEN BUT CHOSEN BY GOD AND PRECIOUS TO GOD - YOU ALSO, LIKE LIVING STONES, ARE BEING BUILT INTO A SPIRITUAL HOUSE TO BE A HOLY PRIESTHOOD, OFFERING SPIRITUAL SACRIFICES ACCEPTABLE TO GOD THROUGH JESUS CHRIST.

FOR IN SCRIPTURE IT SAYS: "SEE, I LAY A STONE IN ZION, A CHOSEN AND PRECIOUS CORNERSTONE, AND THE ONE WHO TRUST IN CHRIST WILL NEVER BE PUT TO SHAME." (1 Peter2:4-6)

CHRIST WAS CHOSEN BEFORE THE CREATION OF THE WORLD, BUT WAS REVEALED IN THESE LAST TIMES FOR YOUR SAKE. THROUGH CHRIST YOU BELIEVE IN GOD, WHO RAISED CHRIST FROM THE DEAD AND GLORIFIED CHRIST, AND SO YOUR FAITH AND HOPE ARE IN GOD. (1 Peter 1:20-21)

I AM CHRIST LIKE AND I HAVE BEEN CALLED BY GOD , AND I AM THE FIRSTBORN OF MANY BROTHERS AND I AM A CHILD OF GOD, AND I WORSHIP GOD IN SPIRIT AND TRUTH!

"YET A TIME IS COMING AND HAS "NOW" COME WHEN TRUE WORSHIPERS WILL WORSHIP THE FATHER IN SPIRIT  AND TRUTH, FOR THEY ARE THE KIND OF WORSHIPERS THE FATHER SEEKS. GOD IS SPIRIT, AND GOD WORSHIPERS MUST WORSHIP IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH." (John 4:23-24) 

IN THE BEGINNING WAS THE WORD, AND THE WORD WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. JESUS WAS WITH GOD IN THE BEGINNING!

THERE IS ONLY "ONE" GOD AND TO THE ONE GOD I SAY, GOD I KNOW THE TRUTH TODAY YOUR WORD, AND GOD I UNDERSTAND YOUR WORD TODAY, GOD YOUR WORD IS THE TRUTH I STAND UNDER. GOD, SANCTIFY ME BY THE TRUTH; GOD, YOUR WORD IS THE TRUTH. AMEN!

I AM NOT ASHAMED OF THE GOSPEL, BECAUSE IT IS THE POWER OF GOD FOR THE SPIRITUAL SALVATION OF EVERYONE WHO BELIEVES: FIRST FOR THE JEW, THEN FOR THE GENTILE. FOR IN THE GOSPEL A RIGHTEOUSNESS FROM GOD IS REVEALED, A RIGHTEOUSNESS THAT IS BY FAITH FROM FIRST TO LAST, JUST AS IT IS WRITTEN: "THE RIGHTEOUS WILL LIVE BY FAITH." (Rom.1:16-17)

ABOVE ALL, YOU MUST UNDERSTAND THAT NO PROPHECY OF SCRIPTURE CAME ABOUT BY THE PROPHET'S OWN INTERPRETATION. FOR PROPHECY NEVER HAD ITS ORIGIN IN THE WILL OF MAN, BUT MEN SPOKE FROM GOD AS THEY WERE CARRIED ALONG BY THE HOLY SPIRIT. (2 Peter 1:20)

AND GOD HAS COMMITTED TO US THE MESSAGE OF RECONCILIATION. WE ARE THEREFORE CHRIST'S AMBASSADORS, AS THOUGH GOD WERE MAKING GOD'S APPEAL THROUGH US. WE IMPLORE YOU ON CHRIST'S BEHALF: BE RECONCILED TO GOD. GOD MADE CHRIST WHO HAD NO SIN TO BE SIN FOR US, SO THAT IN CHRIST WE MIGHT BECOME THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD. (2 Cor.5:19b-21)

BUT AS FOR YOU, CONTINUE IN WHAT YOU HAVE LEARNED AND HAVE BECOME CONVINCED OF, BECAUSE YOU KNOW THOSE FROM WHOM YOU LEARNED IT, AND HOW FROM INFANCY YOU HAVE KNOWN THE HOLY SCRIPTURES, WHICH ARE ABLE TO MAKE YOU WISE FOR SPIRITUAL SALVATION THROUGH FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS. ALL SCRIPTURE IS GOD BREATHED AND IS USEFUL FOR TEACHING, REBUKING, CORRECTING AND TRAINING IN RIGHTEOUSNESS, SO THAT THE MAN OF GOD MAY BE THOROUGHLY EQUIPPED FOR EVERY GOOD WORK. (2 Tim. 3:14-17)

WE ARE CALLED TO BE DISCIPLES OF JESUS, "JESUS SAID FOLLOW ME". WE ALL GET THE SAME THING, GOD LOVES US ALL, WE HAVE  NO MORE RIGHTS THAN ANYBODY ELSE. THERE IS A PLACE AT THE TABLE FOR US ALL. WE ARE TO SHARE GOD'S LOVE WITH EVERYONE WE MEET.

"BUT IF ANYONE OBEYS GOD'S WORD, GOD'S LOVE IS TRULY MADE COMPLETE IN HIM. THIS IS HOW WE KNOW WE ARE IN GOD: WHOEVER CLAIMS TO LIVE IN GOD MUST WALK AS JESUS DID." (1 John 2:5-6) "GODS WORD IS GOD'S LOVE"!

WE DO, HOWEVER, SPEAK A MESSAGE OF WISDOM AMONG THE MATURE, BUT NOT THE WISDOM OF THIS AGE OR OF THE RULERS OF THIS AGE, WHO ARE COMING TO NOTHING. NO WE SPEAK OF GOD'S SCERET WISDOM, A WISDOM THAT HAS BEEN HIDDEN AND THAT GOD DESTINED FOR OUR GLORY BEFORE TIME BEGAN. NONE OF THE RULERS OF THIS AGE UNDERSTOOD IT, FOR IF THEY HAD, THEY WOULD NOT HAVE CRUCIFIED THE LORD OF GLORY. (1 Cor. 2:6-8)

A PRAYER FOR THE EPHESIANS AND FOR US TODAY!

FOR THIS REASON I KNEEL BEFORE THE FATHER, FROM WHOM GOD'S WHOLE FAMILY IN HEAVEN AND ON EARTH DERIVES ITS NAME. I PRAY THAT OUT OF GOD'S GLORIOUS RICHES GOD MAY STRENGTHEN YOU WITH POWER THROUGH GOD'S SPIRIT IN YOUR INNER BEING, SO THAT CHRIST MAY DWELL IN YOUR HEARTS THROUGH FAITH. 

AND I PRAY THAT YOU, BEING ROOTED AND ESTABLISHED IN LOVE MAY HAVE POWER, TOGETHER WITH ALL THE SAINTS, TO GRASP HOW WIDE AND LONG AND HIGH AND DEEP IS THE LOVE OF CHRIST, AND TO KNOW THIS LOVE THAT SURPASSES KNOWLEDGE - THAT YOU MAY BE FILLED TO THE MEASURE OF ALL THE FULLNESS OF GOD.

NOW TO GOD WHO IS ABLE TO DO IMMEASURABLY MORE THAN ALL WE ASK OR IMAGINE, ACCORDING TO GOD'S POWER THAT IS AT WORK WITHIN US, TO GOD BE GLORY IN THE CHURCH AND IN CHRIST JESUS THROUGHTOUT ALL GENERATIONS, FOR EVER AND EVER! AMEN.

UNITY IN THE BODY OF CHRIST, THROUGH THE GRACE OF CHRIST!

AS A PRISONER FOR THE LORD, THEN, I URGE YOU TO LIVE A LIFE WORTHY OF THE CALLING YOU HAVE RECEIVED. BE COMPLETELY HUMBLE AND GENTLE; BE PATIENT, BEARING WITH ONE ANOTHER IN LOVE. MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO KEEP THE UNITY OF THE SPIRIT THROUGH THE BOND OF PEACE. THERE IS ONE BODY AND ONE SPIRIT - JUST AS YOU WERE CALLED TO ONE HOPE WHEN YOU WERE CALLED - ONE LORD, ONE FAITH, ONE BAPTISM; ONE GOD AND FATHER OF ALL, WHO IS OVER ALL AND THROUGH ALL AND IN ALL. BUT TO EACH ONE OF US GRACE HAS BEEN GIVEN AS CHRIST APPORTIONED IT. (Eph. 3:14-4:7)

I AM GOD'S POSSESSION AND GOD WORKS IN AND THROUGH ME EVERYDAY SO THAT I AM THOROUGHLY EQUIPPED FOR EVERY GOOD WORK. GOD IS THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS, AND THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS TO US IS OUR SPIRITUAL RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD. THROUGH SPIRITUAL PROCESSING GOD IS TRANSFORMING US TO BE THE BODY OF THE RISEN CHRIST IN THE WORLD.

APOSTLES OF CHRIST

SO THEN, MEN OUGHT TO REGARD US AS SERVANTS OF CHRIST AND AS THOSE ENTRUSTED WITH THE SECRET THINGS OF GOD.

"NOW" IT IS REQUIRED THAT THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN GIVEN A TRUST MUST PROVE FAITHFUL. I CARE VERY LITTLE IF I AM JUDGE BY YOU OR BY ANY HUMAN COURT; INDEED, I DO NOT EVEN JUDGE MYSELF. MY CONSCIENCE IS CLEAR, BUT THAT DOES NOT MAKE ME INNOCENT. IT IS THE LORD WHO JUDGES ME. (1 Cor.4:1-4)

BUT AS SURELY AS GOD IS FAITHFUL, OUR MESSAGE TO YOU IS NOT "YES" AND "NO." FOR THE SON OF GOD, JESUS CHRIST, WHO WAS PREACHED AMONG YOU BY ME AND SILAS AND TIMOTHY, WAS NOT "YES" AND "NO," BUT IN CHRIST IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN "YES." FOR NO MATTER HOW MANY PROMISES GOD HAS MADE, THEY ARE "YES" IN CHRIST.

AND SO THROUGH CHRIST THE "AMEN" IS SPOKEN BY US TO THE GLORY OF GOD. NOW IT IS GOD WHO MAKES BOTH US AND YOU STAND FIRM IN CHRIST. GOD ANOINTED US, SET GOD'S SEAL OF OWNERSHIP ON US, AND PUT GOD'S SPIRIT IN OUR HEARTS AS A DEPOSIT, GUARANTEEING WHAT IS TO COME. (2 Cor.1:18-22)

THOSE WHO OBEY GOD'S COMMANDS LIVE IN GOD, AND GOD IN THEM. AND THIS IS HOW WE KNOW THAT GOD LIVES IN US: WE KNOW IT BY THE SPIRIT GOD GAVE US. (1 John 3:24)

WE ARE FROM GOD, AND WHOEVER KNOWS GOD LISTENS TO US; BUT WHOEVER IS NOT FROM GOD DOES NOT LISTEN TO US. THIS IS HOW WE RECOGNIZE THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH AND THE SPIRIT OF FALSEHOOD. (1 John 4:6)

NO ONE HAS EVER SEEN GOD; BUT IF WE LOVE ONE ANOTHER, GOD LIVES IN US AND GOD'S LOVE IS MADE COMPLETE IN US. WE KNOW THAT WE LIVE IN GOD AND GOD IN US, BECAUSE GOD HAS GIVEN US OF GOD'S SPIRIT. AND WE HAVE SEEN AND TESTIFY THAT THE FATHER HAS SENT HIS SON TO BE THE SAVIOR OF THE WORLD. (1John 4:12-14)

CAN I GET AN AMEN FROM ALL WHO CALL ON GOD. AMEN!

TODAY I HAVE A COVENANT WITH GOD, GOD HAS PUT HIS LAWS IN MY HEART AND GOD HAS WROTE THEM ON MY MIND. MY COVENANT WITH GOD IS MY PERSONAL PATHWAY TO GOD. BY SPEAKING THE WORDS OF THIS COVENANT OUT OF MY MOUTH BACK INTO MY HEART IT STRENGTHEN MY FAITH.

AS YOU COME TO CHRIST, THE LIVING STONE - REJECTED BY MEN BUT CHOSEN BY GOD AND PRECIOUS TO GOD - YOU ALSO, LIKE LIVING STONES, ARE BEING BUILT INTO A SPIRITUAL HOUSE TO BE A HOLY PRIESTHOOD, OFFERING SPIRITUAL SACRIFICES ACCEPTABLE TO GOD THROUGH JESUS CHRIST.

FOR IN SCRIPTURE IT SAYS: "SEE, I LAY A STONE IN ZION, A CHOSEN AND PRECIOUS CORNERSTONE, AND THE ONE WHO TRUST IN CHRIST WILL NEVER BE PUT TO SHAME." (1 Peter2:4-6)

CHRIST WAS CHOSEN BEFORE THE CREATION OF THE WORLD, BUT WAS REVEALED IN THESE LAST TIMES FOR YOUR SAKE. THROUGH CHRIST YOU BELIEVE IN GOD, WHO RAISED CHRIST FROM THE DEAD AND GLORIFIED CHRIST, AND SO YOUR FAITH AND HOPE ARE IN GOD. (1 Peter 1:20-21)

I AM CHRIST LIKE AND I HAVE BEEN CALLED BY GOD , AND I AM THE FIRSTBORN OF MANY BROTHERS AND I AM A CHILD OF GOD, AND I WORSHIP GOD IN SPIRIT AND TRUTH!

"YET A TIME IS COMING AND HAS "NOW" COME WHEN TRUE WORSHIPERS WILL WORSHIP THE FATHER IN SPIRIT  AND TRUTH, FOR THEY ARE THE KIND OF WORSHIPERS THE FATHER SEEKS. GOD IS SPIRIT, AND GOD WORSHIPERS MUST WORSHIP IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH." (John 4:23-24)
