Eph
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved.
In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace which He made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence, having made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He purposed in Himself, that in the dispensation of the fullness of the times He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth—in Him. In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will, that we who first trusted in Christ should be to the praise of His glory.
In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory.
Story of the Trees....
Be confident for God has plans For You
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.
Jerimiah 29:11
Example of How God had plans for my future
Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.
Jer 29:1
example of how we are not like the World but have become a new creation looking forward to the day when we shall be like Him
“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you;
Before you were born I sanctified you;
I ordained you a prophet to the nations.”
For there is not a word on my tongue,
But behold, O Lord, You know it altogether.
A Piece of Coal carried down by volcanic activity rests somewhere near the mantle of the earth. It goes through fiery times, Times of pressure then one day this coal or the carbon within it is transformed into a beautiful diamond
You see we all are lumps of coal in the beginning because of the great fall filled with darkness not longing to serve God but our selves. When grace enters ones life sometimes there is fiery trials sometimes there is times of intense pressure Fear not my Child God know what he is doing Have Confidence in His plans for you are fearfully and wonderfully made
I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Marvelous are Your works,
And that my soul knows very well.
You are wonderfully made Let not the enemy cast doubt upon you. When God Creates He does not fail. God has made you just who He has desired you to be wonderfully made fear not my beloved, Be not dismayed, Be joyful for God has given unto you a opportunity this morning to see that the lie of the Devil are just that lies that while we may be rough around the edges sometimes god can take a piece of coal and turn it into a diamond
2. Be Confident For God Has equipped you
All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.
for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ—from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.
3. Being Confident in your Identity with Christ
But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name:
We have been given the right to become to be adopted out of the house of darkness and into that of light from that as a child of Satan to that of a Child of God . Oh praise God !!!!!!
For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power.
Ex. of being complete in Christ
knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin.
THAT the old man is dead oh praise God !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT was Crusified with Him OH PRaise be to God WE are no Longer a slave to sin but a mear humble Child of God .
Have you accepted Christ
Have you belived upon His name
Has your old man been crucified with Christ
Wont you do it this morning
Give your life to Him be Confident that He who has started a good work in you will finish it
Do it today.
