ON HEALING AND DOCTRINE !!!!!!!
Ephesians 3
1
For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,
2
If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:
3
How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words,
4
Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)
5
Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;
6
That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:
7
Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power.
8
Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;
9
And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:
10
To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,
11
According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:
12
In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.
13
Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.
14
For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
15
Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,
16
That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;
17
That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,
18
May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;
19
And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
20
Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,
21
Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
my summation~~~~~~~~~~
The dispensation of grace vs.5 was hid in other ages, even from angels, is now revealed in Christ. vs.7 We are made ministers unto the gospel.We are a fellowship of a mystery that vs.10 to the intent that we will make known to the principalities in high places ( this speaks of both angelic and demonic powers) the revelation of Christ and His eternal purposes. vs. 12 in whom we have BOLDNESS and ACCESS with CONFIDENCE by the faith of him ( Christ).
What our struggles amount to, literally boils down to revelation and education in the Word of God. Do you see that we as a fellowship of the church are in the process of educating and revealing to demonic forces what their bounds are, and where their limits are. For eons of time they have had free rule and free reign , they( demonic forces) have had dominance on whom they would attack with cancer, or illness, or sickness, or disease. Until CHRIST. But you see what has been going on for eons, unchecked, a mere 2000 years ago, Christ provided the eternal solution. Our struggles go back eons but the solution is only 2000 years old, and was given to the Church, by CHRIST.
This is why the ACCESS, and BOLDNESS, and CONFIDENCE are so important in vs. 12. When you come against diseases that have run rampant for eons of time, those that have the power to place these upon us must be made to believe that we have the power and authority in Christ to eternally eradicate these diseases. It is a very hard job to do because when a demon is first told that he is rebuked in Jesus name he will laugh in your face. But didn't Christ speak with authority. We must too. And we must know that what Christ said he would do for us HE DID DO IT. It is sad to say that many lose the battle because they are still in the process of being educated themselves. we are but soldiers in an eternal battle and many must die for our King.But we are not left alone. vs. 16 we are strengthened by His Spirit, vs17 He dwells in our hearts by faith, that we may still comprehend the dimensions of His love vs. 20 that we are able to ask of Him anything. and vs. 12 the GLORY comes to Him in the church of which we are .
When you are going through a difficult time ; do not doubt God's eternal purposes for you. Lay hold to the riches of His Glory, that they are all around you. When we all get to heaven we will be the instructors and teachers of angels. We will instruct them in new ways to Praise our Lord..We will write the book for them( slightly exaggerated, OK a lot ) in the warfare of demonic forces. Did not Paul tell us that we are now below the angels but in heaven we will be above the angels. Angels know not what it is like to live on a sin filled, dirty, diseased, stricken planet. We will tell them how we survived, as many years as we did.
I wish I could go on to tell you so much more of the promise that God holds for you, and how those that have been faithful unto the end will reap and be rewarded beyond your wildest imagination. You are a champion. I am a champion. Our ancestors are cheering us onward as we enter the final stretch, I know you have seen horses race. We are all come down to the final straightaway. Look forward to the tape. Keep your eyes focused ahead and only on one thing.Christ Jesus the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. In Christ Gregor. |
