Sealed

Ephesians 1:10–18 ESV
as a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth. In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will, so that we who were the first to hope in Christ might be to the praise of his glory. In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory. For this reason, because I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love toward all the saints, I do not cease to give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers, that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him, having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints,
This all falls in line with the salvation of man
it falls into the giving and what i like to call the transplant of the Holy Spirit into our lives
For when God breathed into man, he breathed his spirit
he gave us his spirit
a perfect symbol of his perfection
and this spirit represented the mark
Ephesians 1:13 ESV
In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit,
and it was with his lips
with his word of truth
that those that believed in him they were sealed with his promise
that seal in which he placed upon each and every one of us
it was an installment to our christian inheritance
the gift that was given to us the moment that we said i do
Ephesians 1:14 ESV
who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory.
this seal was to guarantee our God given inheritance until the day in which we grab complete and total hold and possession of it
Then this seal represents the wisdom and revelation of our Father
the mind of chirst
Ephesians 1:17 ESV
that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him,
Philippians 2:15 ESV
that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world,
Philippians 2:5 KJV 1900
Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
See it was the father that marked you
He marked you from creation
and it was from his original plan that he knew what he was going to do
and to show his love and that you belonged to him he marked you
doing so to prove that you are his creatio
that you are his child
see painters
when they do a masterpiece, they place their sign somewhere hidden in the picture
and taggers
when they spray paint a tag or something they cannot resist but let the world know that they painted it
and that is what the father did.
he was so happy and excited with his work
so excited with his family that he placed a seal upon your head
And he did such in the excitement and proudness of his his creation
And as he did so he offered each of us a chance to be a part of his family
The Holy Spirit is God’s seal on His people,
and his claim on us as his very own
The Holy Spirit is God’s seal on His people, His claim on us as His very own.
And thus the this mark of ownership
And by giving us the HS, he gave us the very first installment to the inheritance that he promised us
Inheritance goes to a son or a daughter
either blood or adopted
and thus we were adopted into his family
I will say this, and i am famous for saying this,
we are all his creation but we are not all his children
ex. today adoption and process
he gave us his son to exsolve the sin that man had occured in the wold
ex. God sending his son to earth
and this he sent one without sin
one that didnt even know sin
to encounter the sin of the a sinful world to exsolve his creation by the washing of the blood and the sacrifice of his son
Thus being bought with a price
And so from that point we had been adopted
adopted into the family of the most high
his spiritual children
ex. roman adoption
so what a seal really is a mark
kings used it to certify authenticity of something
And when you were born the father marked you
he placed a seal upon you
marking his ownership
showing evidence of adoption
and showing that your relationship with him was real
2 Corinthians 1:22 ESV
and who has also put his seal on us and given us his Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee.
he placed his seal upon you
In essence giving you his Holy Spriit
the essence of His perfect spirit
and the HS resides and habitats within each of us
SO ANSWER THIS QUESTION. IF THE SPIRIT OF THE ONE WHO RAISED JESUS FROM THE DEAD IS WITHIN YOU, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
See that spirit is within you
and it is within that spirit that the perfection resides
the mind of christ resides
and this is where we get the knowledge and authority o the father
And it readily lives within each of us
are you getting it
or did it go over your head
That spirit lives readily in each of us
and is ready to lead
yet most of us are falsely aligned
And i will leave that right there
- but it is his spirit that is the security deposit and the guarantee of the fulfillment of his promise
He marked you and sealed you with purpose
did you ever wonder why you cant seem to catch a break?
did you ever wonder if satan, your ene,y can see the seal that you father has placed upon you?
well let me say this
the devil goes to church too
And his minions know who you are, as well as what are you are capable of
James 2:19 ESV
You believe that God is one; you do well. Even the demons believe—and shudder!
Luke 10:17 ESV
The seventy-two returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name!”
see the thing is that the demons know who you are and what you are
but many of us do not and we are to busy trying to figure it out
see these demons know what you are capable of and maybe that why you’re going through hell and back
ya think?
Did you ever wonder?
Because they know better than many of we do on what has been given to us
and they are afraid of what you are capable of if you get full access to what was given to you
do you notice that i didnt say could be capable or given?
I said already
past tense
because the father placed his perfect spirit in you
its already there
its already perfected and doesnt need maturity
see the soul and the body need maturity and perfection
but gods perfect spirit that is within you does not
and the thing is that you need to align with the spirit and make everything else follow suit
ex. like a locomotive and the rest are rail cars, they follow the lead locomotive
and all of this falls in line with gen 1:26
you were created in his image and likeness
and all that you will ever need is with in you
its already there
created and mature just waiting for you to catch up
see you were sealed and marked
bought with a price
identified by his seal
ie seals and brands, what do they do
you are identified as his
you cannot be mistaken as anything or anyone elses
see the mona lisa cannot be mistaken as anyone elses
but we know that leonardo di vinci created the mona lisa
it cannot be mistaken by any means
and so it is with you
Ephesians 2:10 NLT
For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.
and that is why when your spirit and your soul battle
Ephesians 2:20 NLT
Together, we are his house, built on the foundation of the apostles and the prophets. And the cornerstone is Christ Jesus himself.
it is a battle for possession and identity
as his seal certifies authenticity and the spirit of adoption
This seal certifies ones childship
DID YOU GET THAT?
it is this seal of a[rpval that identifies and certifies sonship
Romans 8:13–17 AMP
For if you live according to [the dictates of] the flesh, you will surely die. But if through the power of the [Holy] Spirit you are [habitually] putting to death (making extinct, deadening) the [evil] deeds prompted by the body, you shall [really and genuinely] live forever. For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. For [the Spirit which] you have now received [is] not a spirit of slavery to put you once more in bondage to fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption [the Spirit producing sonship] in [the bliss of] which we cry, Abba (Father)! Father! The Spirit Himself [thus] testifies together with our own spirit, [assuring us] that we are children of God. And if we are [His] children, then we are [His] heirs also: heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ [sharing His inheritance with Him]; only we must share His suffering if we are to share His glory.
and from this
adoption has taken place
the spirit in you
so christ is in you
you are a spirit
that has a soul
that has a body
So all these things shall follow your spirit
and if the spirit of God is in you
the spirit that raised Jesus from the dead is in you
than what does that mean for you?
thus this makes you brothers
but not in the flesh
But to live according to the spirit and the knowledge of God
the seal of authenticity
and if you do so
you will have ever lasting life
the spirit bears witness with the spirit
the reason that you were created
the spirit to commune with the spirit
Romans 8:16 ESV
The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God,
thus making you heirs
Numbers 6:24–26 AMP
The Lord bless you and watch, guard, and keep you; The Lord make His face to shine upon and enlighten you and be gracious (kind, merciful, and giving favor) to you; The Lord lift up His [approving] countenance upon you and give you peace (tranquility of heart and life continually).
numbers 6
Tithe:Father, bless the tithe and the offering to expand your kingdom here on earth. And Bless the tither as he gives of his first fruits and offerings as you have promised in your word
