Ephesians week 7 - evil days - what they look like, and how to succeed part 01

We begin chapter 5 where Paul, knowing the prophecy of scripture, looks ahead to evil days and instructs the readers how to functionally as well as faithfully live in order to succeed. This theme of challenging times and successful living permeates ALL of scripture and meanwhile here in chapters 5 and 6 are key components to our success. We'll be here again next week. It's that important, and Paul's formula for success is both timeless and also most timely for us, in these most challenging days.  

Ephesians week 6 - Whole in the Holy Spirit - living as the light in a darkening world

We go deeper into the call upon each member of the Church in these critical days. Walking in the Holy Spirit will be our place of success - walking in the will and timing and purposes of God - as He shakes the world mightily. 

Ephesians week 5 - The fire-refined and equipped Church - saying 'YES' to the upcoming outpouring.

The plan of heaven has always been for the Church to be moving in the power of the Holy Spirit, equipped for service and great works. The days ahead deserve and will require the saints to be saying yes to the unfettered will of a supernatural God who has always intended us to walk in that fullness. 

Ephesians week 4 - 'to the intent that NOW...' - the fellowship of the mystery revealed

A mystery no longer: The ingathering of the Gentile saints into the Kingdom of God - planned beforehand and revealed now - to proclaim His manifold greatness. Jew and Gentile together. Powerful times to be alive in, and for, our coming King.  

Ephesians week 3 - Grace to be you during this season of outpouring for the salvation of others

The work of redemption in our individual lives readies us for the incoming revival work of salvation as the Lord shakes heaven and earth.  

Ephesians week 2 - God's sovereignty AND our free will - both are part of the plan of heaven

The magical mystery tour of Spirit-led life - daily discovering how God can both sovereignly work among men and at the same time provide us with a free will to say yes or no - transcends our human logic and sparks awareness of His supernatural orchestration of coordinated incidents (aka: 'coincidences'). We look into a small sampling of biblical revelations that confirm this truth and can prepare us for our own supernatural experiences, for His glory.  Nations rage. Philosophers and prognosticators speculate. Available to all who would say 'yes': the mind of Christ. 

Ephesians week 1 - Why this book now? Was it predestined? Does Alice tell us anything?

Paul begins his Ephesians letter stating something that has polarized opinions in the Church, while in supernatural-reality it is intended to draw us personally into the sovereignty of God so that we might walk in His 'supernaturalness'. Just ask Alice: about free will and predestination. A testimony of a miracle only God could orchestrate.

Covenant 04 - New Covenant Saints - Vessels for the Holy Spirit

The deep and thorough salvation work of our Lord was and is to sanctify us for the purpose of being the "ark" (container) of the Holy Spirit on earth during these critical days. Lift up your heads oh you gates and the King of glory will come in. That is our calling. 

Covenant 03 - The covenant plan of God provides for Spirit-infused saint on earth, now

The marriage of the Lamb to the holy Church will be compatible! The covenant commitment of God to His people requires holiness, and the Holy Spirit outpouring opens the door to us living and walking in a level of holiness only supernaturally achieved, for His glory, for the successful salvation of ourselves AND for the salvation for others.  

Covenant 02 - Throughout scripture - for fulfillment by those filled with the Holy Spirit

The supernatural purposes of God, timelessly established within covenant, and within covenant-relationship - are divinely intended for fulfillment, and for display to a lost and troubled world, by the Spirit-filled and Spirit-led people of God on earth during these days.
