God is releasing “completeness” as revelation and deeper understanding are starting this year. We have not had the full picture of what to do next, but this is changing as missing pieces are coming into place. God is bringing a new level of wisdom and understanding to you. Your ability to hear the Lord is going to take a sudden acceleration this year.

Wouldn’t it be so awesome for this all to make sense. To finally see what you’ve been feeling?
Paul engages the church at Ephesus with the prayer, the tool, with an activation if you would. He starts off telling them you already have everything need.
3 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,
vs. 4 chosen
vs. 5 we’ve been adopted
vs. 7 sins forgiven
vs. 11 we have an inheritance
vs. 13 sealed w the Holy Spirit
These are basic facts. You need to KNOW this so I can SHOW you this! But if you don’t look with the wrong right eye
17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, 18 the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,

I want to bring the magnifier of God to this moment to shine on you. In the middle of the major shift that the world is under, God’s doing it with you in mind and some of you will miss because you will continue to slumber.
14 Therefore He says: “Awake, you who sleep, Arise from the dead, And Christ will give you light.”
You can’t see in when you’re sleep!!!!

Joe’s friend Gary. Gary was an odd-fellow. He loved to watch jeopardy. He was the couch champion. he knew stuff he didn’t know how he knew it. Gary had a high IQ. but he graduated w a B. He didn’t go straight through school. He took good long breaks. Now he’s a lawyer.
app: pay attention to the stuff you had to learn or are having to learn or didn’t want to learn. ask God to open you eye there
Note: Some stuff you just have suffer through some things!!!!
God was leading Gary in a path.

Paul highlights three blessings the believers can expect: hope for the future, God’s claim on them as His inheritance, and the great power of God Himself at work on their behalf.
