The Apostle Paul was 100% committed to the Gospel of Jesus Christ and to the process of the Father’s MYSTERY of His PURPOSE and INTENT and PLAN to have SPIRITUALSONS. He leads us into the TRUTH of the Spiritual process of LIVING and WALKING in our New SPIRITUALIDENTITY as the Spiritual Son of the Father.
Paul goes on to show us in Ephesians chapter 4, how the Father’s PROCESS in His ever-unfolding REVELATION to His Spiritual Sons will bring us together into the FULL UNDERSTANDING of our RECONCILIATION or EQUALITY in total ONENESS in HIM.
Ephesians unveils the “mystery” of the assembly of believers and their purpose in the plan of the Father, as no other epistle. God’s “secret” intention is revealed.
Grasping the message of Ephesians requires a revelation and understanding of two words in chapter 3— “dispensation” and “mystery”. God’s “secret” of expanding the Family of the God-head is no longer hidden. He has designed the assembly of believers (the Body of Christ) to administer Christ’s fullness (the expression of the Father) everywhere, ministering as a living body, spreading over the earth, and penetrating “the heavenlies.”
God’s “manifold wisdom” now demonstrates His glory in the assembly of believers (the Body of Christ).
A manifestation that brings illumination to understanding, and strength to the inner man.
As my brother Kurtis stated, Ephesians chapter three is also a continuation of chapter two, for it is impossible to teach from Ephesians chapter three and not reference chapter two.
The previous messages have laid a foundation and have given us an outline for what the Father has laid before us today.
We will continue our walk in the revelation given to me in Ephesians 3:
1. The Mystery
2. Revelation
3. Manifold Wisdom of God
4. The Church
5. The Inner Man
6. Sonship and Equality
Through spiritual new birth the fullness of the Godhead dwells in us. For the essence and identity of the Father is only ours through Christ and spiritual new birth, but because this newness takes place in the inner man, the church today does not understand it. Because this new creation cannot be seen, touched, or heard, born-again believers understate its reality. They rather build their beliefs on those things that are emotional, tangible, and self-identifying. Teaching the new man to stand with a renewed mind and an exchanged identity is eternal – whereas teaching the outer man to change is futile and temporal. While the outer man is being destroyed daily, the inner man is being strengthened in God through Christ Jesus.
The Apostle Paul was 100% committed to the Gospel of Jesus Christ and to the REVELATION and FELLOWSHIP of The Father’s MYSTERY. He leads us into the truth of walking in our New Spiritual Identity as the Spiritual Son of the Father. Paul continues to share his knowledge of the Father’s MYSTERY and make it clear that it is the Father’s plan, intent, and purpose to REVEAL His MYSTERY to all men NOW! The Father desires that His manifold wisdom and His Eternal purpose and plan in Christ Jesus be known by all His Spiritual Sons.
The Apostle Paul then goes on to intercede and pray another one of his Spiritual prayers to our Father on behalf of these Gentile Holy Ones and Spiritual Sons at Ephesus. He requests for all Spiritual Sons to be fully strengthened, grounded in LOVE, and that we may be able to be filled with ALLTHEFULLNESS of the Father. The Father now ever works fully in us as His Spiritual Sons in our new Spiritual Personal Identity to know His LOVE super-abundantly with all His fullness and power to work in and through us for His glory.
This week we begin our study and teaching in the third chapter of Ephesians. The Father already provided deep, powerful, and wonderful revelations in the first two chapters! Now key verses of chapter 3 reveal the “mystery” of The Father, with the dispensation of the mystery and the 4th-dimensional revelations of Christ and Love! Paul, looking back into chapter two, covers the gentile believers and their part in the “manifold wisdom of the Father.” The fellowship in this part of the mystery is still overlooked and misunderstood in the religious and Christian worldviews of man-made religion (MMR). As we walk through this chapter of Ephesians, we see the strength and power of our inner man’s Spiritual Identity as the Son of the Father! So, let’s talk about it…
This week we continue our fourth and final week of Ephesians chapter two. During the past three weeks, the Father has provided us with a deep, powerful, and wonderful revelation in this chapter. Our dear brother, Dwight Davis, discussed that chapter two begins and ends with the Father’s Eternal Purpose, Intent, and Plan for Spiritual Sons. Dwight went on to say this.
“Before our Father created anything in the universe, He decided in His Omniscience that He would have Spiritual Sons to be related to Him and have fellowship with Him in love with their own Spiritual choice and decisions. The Father then set His Eternal plan into being throughout all His creation that would enable and produce His birthing of Spiritual Sons as the ultimate focal point for His Eternal purpose, intent, and plan”
The second week, our dear sister, Brenda Gray, again challenged the “cognitive dissonance” concerning the Spiritual Birth and religious identity of MMR as she said this:
“In contrast, those in “The Church of MMR” who believe that their good works in the flesh are what God requires or is enough for them to be “saved,” are living as bastards. As one who does not know who their father is.”
Last week, our dear brother Kurtis Luckinbill opened our spiritual knowledge and understanding of our Spiritual Identity that “You Are Now Light” in Christ. Brother Kurtis said this:
“In Ephesians chapter two, Paul is laying the groundwork for one of the greatest identity statements in the Bible. We read in: Ephesians 5:8 For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light. This is one of the most powerful statements in the bible. The sons of disobedience are not just living in darkness, but they are that very darkness, that is their entire identity wrapped into one word – darkness. Darkness is not some obscure void in which we walk, but it is the identity of everyone who is not spiritually born-again.”
This week we will review key verses in Ephesians chapter two which reveal hidden “mysteries” of The Father. Several important Spiritual factors or topics are covered by Paul which are often overlooked and misunderstood in the religious and Christian worldviews of man-made religion (MMR). These topics deal with who the Ephesian believers are Spiritually. Let’s talk about it…
I will continue our teaching this week in Ephesians Chapter 2. “I just don’t measure up” are words I hear from born-again believers today. They live in the failure of every identity of their past. Their past identities and actions weigh them down with fear and guilt. They received Christ to escape what they were doing as sinners, yet they now live in the guilt of what they are not doing as Christians. For a lack of knowledge, they live a life of conflicting identities, alone in their pain and struggles. If you are born-again and feel that you are trying to be a good Christian and failing, you do not know who you are. You do not know the new person that your spiritual birth created.
Last week our brother Dwight shared with us the message of Reconciliation, Oneness, & Equality with the Father. From his notes he says;
“When our Holy Father created mankind in His eternal plan with His omniscience, He knew that mankind would make decisions that would lead them to disobedience and would enter into trespasses and sins against Him. “
As we continue in Ephesians, we will expound upon the thought of “Trespasses and Sin” and “The Good Work of the Father” and how it relates to Spiritual Birth. We will also take a look at “The Church of MMR’S” view on trespasses and sins and its impact.
When our Holy Father created mankind in His Eternal plan with His Omniscience, He knew that mankind would make decisions that would lead them to disobedience and would enter into trespasses and sins. Our Holy Father planned that through the sin sacrifice of the blood of Christ, the Only Begotten Son, that mankind could be RECONCILED and made ONE with Him, through our hearing, receiving, and making a Spiritual decision to believe on Christ and His blood to deliver us from the penalty of all trespasses and sin.
The Holy Spirit is given to us by the Father to individually lead us, convict us, and provide us with the Father’s Spirit birthing and Eternal life with RECONCILIATION, ONENESS, and EQUALITY to our Father through a new Spiritual Son identity for fellowship and growth with our Father.
Let’s talk about some major truths of the MYSTERY of the Father in His Eternal Purpose, Intent and Plan of UNMERITED FAVOR to enable us to become His Spiritual Sons!
