ONE MESSAGE. ONE FAITH.

We are coming to the end of the month, but are not even close to the end of our study in Ephesians. I decided, that I will spend the next 2 days, sharing my notes that I took while reading Ephesians this month.  This way i will have shared what I have and it will give you the opportunity to share what came to your heart as you read, in your own time. Without further delay here are my notes for chapter 2: Ephesians  2:1-2 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; which in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience. Quick: life Quicken: to enliven, to bring to life God has brought us to life. He has enlivened us. so we are no longer dead IN sin, but rather dead To sin. sin no longer enlivens, or excites us. On the contrary the things that once excited us, now burden us, or sadden us. In some cases, the things that...

So It has been a couple weeks since the last post. I know you miss me. I have finished Ephesians, taken notes and can not wait to share with you all, and hopefully you with me, what has been gleaned from this ripe book. Having said that.  Kendra and I are in huge transition, but will be back with you all sooner than later( hehe) Keep reading, eating of the daily Bread of Life, and check back here soon for updates! God Bless!

I like when I find the prayers the Apostles prayed for the believers. It is good to embed these prayers into our own personal prayer life, as we pray for believers in our local assemblies and world wide, and even ourselves. In the last few verses in the first chapter of Ephesians there is a prayer that Apostle Paul writes: Therefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, 16 do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers: 17 [I Pray]that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power , Isn't that an awesome prayer to repeat? So this i...

I know we are moving slowly through Ephesians, but I want it to be that- a study, not something we rush through. I have so much that comes to me as I read this. Yet I do not want to bumrush us all with information overload. Now on to Ephesians 1:13-14: Ephesians 1:13-14 (New King James Version) 13 In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, 14 who[a] is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory. There is a process here that is depicted: You Hear the gospel You Trust and believe in Jesus You are sealed with the holy Spirit
