I don’t know if anyone else can relate with me on that. These verses have such powerful words written in them, and what seems as if the longest sentence ever i struggled at first to break it down.

Ephesians: A Commentary Ephesians 1:15–23: Paul’s Prayer for the Ephesians
Paul reminds them both of the superiority and sufficiency of God’s power in Christ and of their need to make a clean break from their past spiritual attachments
12 “Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father.

Paul is also reminding the epheisians and encourageing them to break away from their past spiritual attachements and showing them Gods superiority and sufficiency of Gods power in Christ. Basically he is saying you dont need the mysicizum and your others gods, because my god is sufficiant for you.

Whoever believes in me - theres that word again. In order to have the power we have been talking about is believe in Jesus. We will do greater things than Jesus because of the power that is bestowed upon us when we believe.

first its Definition: A person given authority and honor; a most trusted advisor who is always close at hand. In the bible it is referenced quite a bit as someone who is a chief assistant - and indispensable helper.

while studying the history of this saying I found that it was adapted as an old military training presedure. most soldiers were(are) Right handed, so naturally they held their swords in their right hands. Which means their shield was in their left. Their left sides were protected. So soldiers were taught to help protect their fellow solider by protecting their unshielded side - their right side. So the saying came into being. Someones RIGHT HAND MAN is someone who protects you, guards you, fights for you. So Jesus is not only at the Right hand of God, but he is also at our right.

Above all authority and power Above EVERY name for all time. This includes us. He knew your name before he created you. He already planned for you in the very beginning.

22 And he put all things under his feet
22 And he put all things under his feet
For “God has put all things in subjection under his feet.” But when it says, “all things are put in subjection,” it is plain that he is excepted who put all things in subjection under him.
8 putting everything in subjection under his feet.”
Now in putting everything in subjection to him, he left nothing outside his control. At present, we do not yet see everything in subjection to him.
8 putting everything in subjection under his feet.”
Now in putting everything in subjection to him, he left nothing outside his control. At present, we do not yet see everything in subjection to him. 9 But we see him who for a little while was made lower than the angels, namely Jesus, crowned with glory and honor because of the suffering of death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone.
He willingly was put to death for all, that they would know the love of the father.
He willingly was put to death for all, that they would know the love of the father.
If all things are under his feet then why do we walk around worried and anxious?
If all things are under his feet then why do we walk around worried and anxious?
do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.

I think the Lord is trying to tell me something…lol I share this because I want you to know the peace that the Lord has given to me through this verse. if the God who created the universe can keep the planets in orbit, and the sun in the sky, and If he can feed the birds in the air then why why why do we need to worry about the stuff in our lives?

He asks us here in Philipians to Not to be anxious, but then he goes on the tell us how to do that..... he says 1. but in everything by prayer and supplication 2.with thanksgiving 3. let your requests be made known to God. THEN....the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

28 And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.
ROMANS 8:
He uses all things- The good the bad and the ugly work together for good for those who are called…ie those who believe. We dont have to worry. It doesnt mean bad things dont happen, believe me they do. we live in a broken, fallen world, but it means that as Jesus us our gaurd and he uses the bad things that happen to us to teach us and bring us closer to him. It takes a lot of faith to know that the terrible things that happen will somehow be made for our good, but here in Romans we see this promise.

head over all things given to the church - Christ is head of all things! and as such he has been given power and authority. With that being said - he then was given to the church as a gift. We are his body, we are lead by him. he guides us and shields us. we then follow in his direction. And as the head has the power so then does the body! When we make him head over our live and of our church we then reiceve that power to do the great things he promised would be done in
