Ephesians 2
1 “He has quickened you, (you) who was dead–
in trespasses and sins;”
This is a statement about the ‘spiritual’ condition of ANY human being BEFORE they encounter the holy living God, and ask for his ‘holy’ Spirit to come and indwell them, and change them from the inside out, conforming them into the image of Christ– SALVATION/becoming a Christ-ian…
Before that conversion to their ‘spirit man’ –ALL HUMANS are in ‘spiritual death.’ (no exceptions)
Spiritual death meaning, they are in a state of conduct, within their being, that follows after and adheres to, the ‘evil’ living conduct choice, offered in life…
whilst at the same time an holy option is offered up, in thought, heart and will of the soul: options,
evil or holiness, satan or God holy, loving and true –our Creator.
This ‘spiritual state of death’ –is a direct result of the penalty (or natural consequences, bodily, repercussions) of sin and the trespass against ‘holy’ living, or rather, God’s way of living with ‘his’ Spirit conduct.
When we choose ‘our way,’ we choose ‘anti’ holy God’s way, and by default –choose ‘satan’ and his way, and reap the consequences of that:
DEATH; death is the ‘reward’ or ‘harvest’ of living with ‘satan,’ and his way of conduct.
Death physical, death spiritual and death in the soul too: all 3 parts of the trinity symbolically– CORRUPTED.
Do we see ‘WHY’ we need Christ and his redemption and to LIVE WITH, and ABIDE UNDER THE LEADERSHIP of –his Holy Spirit??
We don’t know what we need, and
we don’t know what we don’t know, and
all the ‘reasoning’ in the world…
an ENTIRE LIFETIME…
would never lead you to heaven or to God…
For it is ONLY BY ‘his Spirit,’ that you are ‘BROUGHT INTO ALL TRUTH.’
And God is not found in the tree of ‘knowledge,’ he’s found in the tree of ‘Life;’ one must exit the first tree, to enter the second tree– the second Adam, the last Adam: Christ Jesus, and that is done by accepting his Spirit inside you, to bring you home.
Without God’s holy Spirit in you, leading you, by your choice to conform to him in his image or likeness, and stop trying to ‘figure it out,’ and REST IN HIM INSTEAD, letting him ‘reform you’ …
YOU CANNOT EVEN KNOW WHAT TO BELIEVE– FOR HE IS TRUTH; you cannot
‘know what the truth is,’
without GETTING TO KNOW HIM,
for all truth is born of HIM.
You must DIVE INTO FAITH IN HIM, to have him REVEAL the full truth of all to you; you have to start ‘living by faith’ and trusting him, and in him, and ask him to in dwell you, before you will come into the CONFIDENCE OF THE LORD, for there,
in intimacy, with God holy, loving and true…
Do we find our ‘strength to do all things.’
(even to ‘endure till the end’)
We must ‘trust,’ before we SOAR IN CONFIDENCE; most want it the other way, REASSURANCES FIRST.
That’s just not God’s way, nor will it help you learn that gaining ‘discipline’ and ‘Letting go of FEAR,’ is as easy as ‘choosing to do so’ in your will…
Walking that OUT– is your ‘relationship’ with Christ.
Literally, your relationship with the savior is proven every time you fight his ‘opposite–’ antiChrist spirit in the world, and choose God and his way,
You are choosing Christ, and that he is most powerful and able to accomplish all, and that you put your ‘life,’ in HIS HANDS, entirely, LITERALLY: that’s FAITH IN GOD!
YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT’S RIGHT TO BELIEVE???
You have to go to ‘him,’ to find out, and in doing so, you meet the REAL GOD, and the REAL YOU, and the REAL SATAN– for the first time ever, in clarity; Clarity begins where wisdom begins…
And God said, ‘the beginning of wisdom, is found in FEARING THE LORD,’ honoring him with reverence and OBEDIENCE, to his way, person and conduct.
We have to ‘give up striving of our own accord in life,’ and surrender to him and his way, and CONFORM to it –live honestly, live in love and then FINALLY understand our ‘callings,’ purpose in life, worth in ‘being,’ and all other aspects of our life come together, because we have chosen what we were supposed to all along….
To have a real relationship with our creator; fake Christianity really never was real, by definition, but is about to be ‘proven’ so.
Who of the proclaiming Christians are all ‘talk,’
and ‘no relating-ship with’ –God, happening at all…
Well, not with the Holy God of the bible anyway…
There’s definitely a ‘high god’ in EVERYONE, at all times…
But humanity,
by far and large, inside their person–
has been serving the ‘inferior god,’
all the while claiming they serve the
‘holy and most high’ God of scripture.
He is coming to correct these ‘lies;’ you see, Lukewarm Christians, ones that don’t live the bible, are hurting Jesus and his Father’s Kingdom, HERE, and that’s why all this mess is happening.
Not the ‘heathen,’ no…
God isn’t their leader; he’s ‘our’ God;
It’s because ‘WE,’ the church–
ASSIMILATED INTO THEIR LIFESTYLES,
WAYS AND BELIEFS!
WE DRANK THE ‘Cool Aid’ of the WORLD, all the while ‘implicitly’ stating– we are ‘RIGHT WITH GOD,’ while ‘kick’n it’ with SATAN, ‘inside,’ in our conduct, and then, bodily– in what we choose to live like, think like, and believe like.
THAT’S why we are in this mess; it’s the
‘Religious claiming folk’ that DID NOT LIVE HOLY (or authentically like our God) LIKE WE WERE SUPPOSED TO, BUT CLAIMED WE DID…
That –resulted in this position of corruption in our countries.
For what is ‘corruption in our countries and representatives’...
It is– CORRUPTION IN PRIVATE LIVES…
that goes public, and far-and-wide-spread,
in society…
IT’S THE CULTURE.
And ‘the church,’ SOLD INTO THE CULTURE OF THE WORLD –and unto the heathen,
the folk that have NOT GOD holy and true and loving for their Father…
And we ‘ushered in’
the GROSS DARKNESS.
Why??
Well…
Where, does GROSS DARKNESS TAKE PLACE??
‘INSIDE!’
Why does Gross Darkness
take place??
Selfish, Prideful Living, like the world…
like folks that do not claim to
‘run-with God holy and true,’
which is truthfully:
ESTRANGEMENT
or
SEPARATION
from God,
and
‘coupling up with’
–satan, inside.
(It is hypocritical living,
it is ‘acting,’
which is the base root for
the word actor–
hypocrite, liar.)
The insides of man have not been kept clean, and the result is that their ‘light,’ has ‘gone dark,’ and…
“IF YOUR LIGHT HAS GONE DARK
–’how’ dark, HAS YOUR LIGHT
………..GONE??” –Matthew 6:23
(Ephesians 2 cont.)
1 “He has quickened you,
(you) who was dead– in trespasses and sins;”
2 “Where ‘in times past,’
(denoting we NO LONGER do this)
you walked (lived like in your conduct) according to
the course of this world–
according to– the prince of the power of the air (satan),
the spirit that now works IN–
the Children of Disobedience:”
(Disobedience to what– God’s way)
3 “Among whom, we also all had our conversation–
in times past– in (or out of) the lusts of our flesh,
fulfilling the desires of the flesh
and of the mind;
and were by nature– the children of wrath, even as others.”
Here stating not living how God lives, is because our ‘flesh,’ our ‘natural, fallen, carnal nature about us,’ WANTS OTHER THINGS, and it ‘begins’ –in the MIND.
What ARE YOU ‘MINDING,’ or rather…
What is your ‘mind’ allowed to do, and NOT ALLOWED TO DO??
Because your ‘mind,’ will LEAD YOU.
That’s why it’s imperative to live out Philippians 2:5, and ‘PUT ON THE MIND of Christ!’
Why??
Well, he’s supposed to be leading us into all truth, and he can ONLY DO THAT, if we are
‘placing him and his way,’ in the ‘high ruling’ AUTHORITY POSITION –in our lives.
4 “But God…
who is rich in mercy…
with his great love that he loves us (with),
5 Even when we were dead in sins (he loved us so), and has quickened us together with Christ,
(by grace ((patient, sacrificial love)) –you are saved;)
6 And (he) has raised us up together,
and made us sit together
–in heavenly places–
in Christ Jesus:”
Can we ‘be made to come together,’
and our Father ‘raising us up’ in him,
in heaven’s place…
Can we NOT GET ALONG THEN??
Can we NOT SEE THE NEED TO UNITE??
For otherwise, ‘WE’ choose– to keep his ‘body’ DISJOINTED!
OH THE PAIN to him!!!!
7 “That, in the ages to come– he might show the exceeding riches of his grace, in his kindness toward us– through Christ Jesus.
8 For by grace you are saved– through faith
(which is to say– through trusting him); and
not of yourselves (not what ‘we’ can do):
it is The Gift of God:
9 Not of works (deeds)– lest any man should boast.” (brag)
He is saying we do not make it to God by our own deeds of righteousness, in fact the scriptures state– HE DRAWS US TO HIMSELF; we get reconciled back to our Father God– through living in and with Christ Jesus– his way, and being led of his Spirit.
It’s about obedience
and conforming to his ‘image.’
Salvation is– KNOWING and BEING CHANGED BY THE HAND of THE LIVING GOD, being LOVED BY HIM…
‘back into’ his original design he made us into…
ridding ourselves of the corruption and fallenness, via the power and authority of his Spirit and the reformation process of being led and conformed by God– and brought into his family:
SPIRIT, SOUL & BODY redemption–
via ADOPTION.)
10 “For we are –his– workmanship, (he crafted us)
created in Christ Jesus
–unto good works–
which God has (long) before ordained that
–we should walk in them.”
(Walk in what?? –good works)
11 “Wherefore, remember that you being in times past– Gentiles in the flesh
(meaning living ‘evil,’ selfish, carnal lives inside too)
who were called Uncircumcision–
(being Gentile/not Jewish, not circumcised)
by those which called the Circumcision–
in the flesh –made by hands; (the Jews)
12 That, at that time– you were without Christ, being aliens –from the commonwealth of Israel,
and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:
13 But now –in Christ Jesus–
YOU –who sometimes were far off
–are made nigh (close/intimate)
by the blood of Christ.”
14 “For he is our peace…
(he) who has made both– ONE…
and has broken down ‘the middle wall of partition’ between us;
15 Having abolished in his flesh –the enmity
(root meaning– enemy–the state or feeling of being actively opposed or hostile to someone or something),
even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; to make in himself (out) of two–
ONE NEW MAN–
SO MAKING: P E A C E;”
He just said, he came and did what he did,
by giving his all, and taking it all into himself…
HE DEFEATED SATAN and all his attributes and consequences of…
And he ABOLISHED IT ALL– in his ‘own flesh,’ FOR US.
EVEN COMPLETING, without error–
The COMMANDMENTS written in ordinances…
To make…
IN HIMSELF…
TWO PEOPLE– become ONE, in ‘spirit conduct’ and presence manifested.
2 people, NOW, made ONE ‘new’ CREATION– bringing about ‘PEACE!’
Which he told me he considers –Godly ORDER RESTORED, where once ‘chaos’ reigned.
DO WE WANT
‘PEACE’
ON/IN EARTH??
He just told us how, and it matters not whether it’s literal earth large, or literal earth small– your body, it’s all the same peace and process.
16 “That he might reconcile both to God–
in one body– by the cross,
having slain the enmity (enemy) there:
(where?? –the flesh!)
17 And (he) came and preached peace to you
who were far off, and to them –that were nigh (close).
18 For through him –we both have access–
by one Spirit –unto the Father.”
*PERFECT UNITY–
PERFECT INTEGRATION
and
CONGRUENCE–
Father, Son, Holy Spirit + Man!
1 + 1 + 1 + 1
or…
1111 –this is the meaning you’ve been looking for– the call to UNITY CLOSENESS/INTEGRATION, becoming ‘one’ as in ‘the New Creature,’ you and he–
TOGETHER as One now!
19 “Now therefore– you are no more strangers and foreigners– but fellow-citizens with the saints, and of the household of God;
20 And, are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself–
being ‘the chief cornerstone;’
21 ‘In’ whom –all the building, fitly framed together, grows into– an holy temple– in the Lord:
(We are supposed to be ‘growing into a holy temple’ he said; and we are to be ‘FITLY FRAMED TOGETHER’– the ‘whole body.’
NO MORE DISCORD ‘sowing’ among the brethren anymore! Sowing– being hurt and offended by God’s ‘other parts.’
Instead of helping his ‘infirmed body,’ get WELL!)
22 “In whom you also are builded together–
for an habitation of God– (your person/body/life)
through the Spirit.
He just said, ‘you are built into the same ‘body’ so I need you to create YOURSELF into my holy image, with my help, thereby relieving me, in ‘this’ area of my ‘body,’ bringing me and you– PEACE, or Godly Order restored!’
And you are to be ‘recreated,’ reformed,
by the hand of God– through his Spirit.
This is what our ENTIRE LIFETIME IS FOR WHILE HERE ON PLANET: deciding whom you serve, in TRUTH and in ‘spirit’ conduct, determining your ‘final destination.’
We are about to see what God is really like, and according to scripture; the ‘NEW MAN’ is required, unto true Salvation.
All that we are about to go ‘through,’ and yes, we WILL COME OUT THE OTHER SIDE, is for our refinement and our opportunity to ‘get right with God, and to live according to TRUTH, LOVE and HOLY RECONCILIATION unto God, our Father, and Jesus Christ our Brother, Savior, God and Friend…
And *His Holy Spirit!
THIS TIME PERIOD– is about bringing in the ‘reign’ of the Kingdom of Heaven, on and into Earth– more FULLY.
We will learn what it is like to cohabitate with God, live his way, rule with him and reform this place, all the while…
DRAWING TO HIMSELF,
through us,
THE GREATEST SOUL HARVEST KNOWN TO MAN!
Don’t focus on all the hard stuff about to come about…
FOCUS ON GOD, and you will not sink down, under the waves.
When your focus stays on the ‘woe,’ it will DRAW IT TO YOUR SOUL, and then you have a mess to ‘loose’ out of it, and break– soul ‘ties.’
Yes, you can BIND YOURSELF UP, with ‘ties’ you tie up, inside your mind and heart on what you are WATCHING, LISTENING TO and ENGAGING WITH, in your ‘believer,’ or rather, your Heart, your truth holding location in you, your center, your inner man.
Don’t watch THE WAVES…
WATCH THE EYES and THOUGHTS of your SAVIOR, your God; read your scripture and LEAN INTO HIM.
We will discover how to have a fruitful *UNION, PARTNERSHIP with God, and thereby we will GROW OUR HUMAN relationships, here, and we will HEAL…
because we will have relearned HOW TO COHABITATE in ‘truth’ and LOVE with another: that is how we transform inside, and out, this place!
UNION.
UNION WITH GOD: the New Creation.
THAT’S –THE GOSPEL, and he’s coming back in his Spirit, with his manifesting children, manifesting his Spirit out of them, to CORRECT US IN THIS AREA; we MUST be ‘reformed,’ or we perish.
He is going to GIVE IT HIS ALL AGAIN…
for us–
THROUGH US.
He is going to FULLY SHOW HIMSELF–
Through…
HIS CHILDREN IN OBEDIENCE TO HIS WAY, and ‘they,’ with him
–will DRAW THE LAST DAYS HARVEST OF SOULS, unto himself.
It will be days full of Wonder and Awe; his children will flourish, and manifest his power and authority to wreck satan and his minions wherever they go.
But with it, it will be GROSS, DARK TIMES, for many are ‘in need of’ SALVATION, in truth.
So…
the FASTER WE COME TOGETHER, and STOP THIS NONSENSE OF INFIGHTING…
And living hypocritically, being offended at everyone, for anything…
The FASTER HE COMES BACK, for a ‘spotless’ and ‘wrinkle free’ BRIDE.
Yes…
HIS BRIDE…
Is SO CLEAN, WHEN HE COMES BACK FOR HER INSIDE MAN…
THAT SHE IS
‘also,’
WRINKLE FREE!
Not only is Christ’s BRIDE SPOTLESSLY CLEAN…
She is IRONED OUT!
We are not anywhere near that yet; we have
‘a long way to go, and a short time to get there.’
“May we get a move on Sir Jesus, and COME TOGETHER IN UNITY, once and FOR ALL, (literally)...
bringing us closer and closer to you, and to each other, and to– our ‘coming home to you.’
May we engage with our angelic coworkers, the cloud of witnesses and yourself Sir.
May we BRING IN– BY OUR *UNITY in working together, and not against one another out of fear any longer…
THE KINGDOM AGE REIGN of Christ Jesus and of the Father– through Holy Spirit and his Children–
IN EARTH, as it is IN HEAVEN!
MAY WE COME BACK TO LIVING HOW WE WERE TO, before the ‘fall,’ Father.
In our precious Jesus’ name.
Amen.”
