PURELY GOD'S WORD 👇🏽👇🏽
DO WE LITERALLY BELIEVE AND TRUST THE FOLLOWING:
• All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ. Ephesians 1:3 NLT
• God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure. Ephesians 1:5 NLT
• He (God our Father) is so rich in kindness and grace that he purchased our freedom with the blood of his Son and forgave our sins. Ephesians 1:7 NLT
• When we heard the Message, also heard the truth, the Good News that God saves you. And when you believed in Christ, he identified you as his own by giving you the Holy Spirit, whom he promised long ago. (We heard, We believed and God saved us)
• Ephesians 1:13 NLT
• Paul's prayer... which applies to us who believe... asking God, the glorious Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, (a) to give you spiritual wisdom and insight so that you might grow in your knowledge of God.
(b) I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope he has given to those he called—his holy people who are his rich and glorious inheritance.
Eph. 1: 17 and 18
• Prayer continues... I also pray that you will understand the incredible greatness of God’s power for us who believe him. This is the same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead and seated him in the place of honor at God’s right hand in the heavenly realms.
• Ephesians 1:19‭-‬20 NLT
• Crucial to believe this literally: that even though we were dead because of our sins, he gave us life when he raised Christ from the dead. (It is only by God’s grace that you have been saved!) For he raised us from the dead along with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ Jesus.
• Ephesians 2:5‭-‬6 NLT
• God, our Father why?? So God can point to us in all future ages as examples of the incredible wealth of his grace and kindness toward us, as shown in all he has done for us who are united with Christ Jesus.
• Ephesians 2:7 NLT
• Continuing Why? 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.
• Ephesians 2:10 NLT
• Do we believe... God’s purpose in all this was to use the church to display his wisdom in its rich variety to all the unseen rulers and authorities in the heavenly places. This was his eternal plan, which he carried out through Christ Jesus our Lord. Ephesians 3:10‭-‬11 NLT
• Paul's prayer... continues, I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit.
• Ephesians 3:16 NLT
• My, my, Wow plus...Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong. And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God.
• Ephesians 3:17‭-‬19 NLT
• Do you believe this Now? Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.
• Ephesians 3:20 NLT
• How does it apply to US who literally believe? God has put all things under the authority of Christ and has made him head over all things for the benefit of the church. And the church is his body; it is made full and complete by Christ, who fills all things everywhere with himself.
• Ephesians 1:22‭-‬23 NLT

So... God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. 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. Ephesians 2:8‭-‬10 NLT

In Summary... Spiritual Blessings. Spiritual Inheritance. For us to literally believe, trust and act.

Freely Given, Freely Give. God Bless You 🙌

*Beyond Believing...*
Faith is not A Hotel.
Faith is not A Vacation.
Faith is not A Wish.
Faith is the Assurance... Romans 11:1
Timeline:
_From Asking/Believing ----- to Receiving._
What do we do? In-between?
One has to talk to One's self?
How?
By reading and hearing the Word of God. We have heard this message soooo much, we stumble over it.
By studying. By saying. By declaring. To One's self loud and clear.
Psalms 1: Vs 1 to 3
Meditation is attached to be Blessed and Prospering.
Meditates Day and Night.
Meditate: Mutter; Growl; Speak; Roar; and to Imagine (some translations).
Hence the in-between time period becomes, A *LIFESTYLE* OF FAITH. BEYOND REASON.
'Now the just shall *LIVE* by faith; But if anyone draws back, My soul has no pleasure in him.”
Hebrews 10:38 NKJV
Day and Night. We have to say what? God's Word. PERTAINING TO THE RELEVANT REQUEST.
• Salvation
• Healing
• Career
• Finance
• Wayward Children
• Marriage
• Finance
• Family
etc
You are 'growling, muttering and speaking' God's Word. Quit consulting others about your situation. A double minded person will not receive anything from God. To avoid that... keep meditating. Not in your thoughts. Audibly.
Icing on the cake!!
The end result.
'Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, accordingly to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen'.
Ephesians 3:20‭-‬21 NKJV
The above will be the RECEIVING FINISH LINE of the Timeframe.
God Bless.
Freely Given, Freely Give.🙏🏼🙌🏽🇱🇰
