[00:00:01] Speaker A: Good morning. Good morning. How are you on this fine, fine, but youtiful day? I hope you're having a great day today and I hope you are excited today because today is the day that the Lord hath made. We will be glad. We will rejoice in it. Rejoice in every single moment that you have under the sun in this cosmos, in this arrangement. Be thankful, be happy. Continually give God that sacrifice of praise. Praise him and thank him. It's been a couple weeks. I took a couple weeks off and yeah, it was kind of the best way to explain it is I was starting to just do the teachings without doing it for myself, without reading for myself.
And once you've made a commitment and you read every day and you start to read this stuff and it starts to open up to you and it's just a complete blessing, you start to miss it if you're not doing it. And I haven't been doing it for, man, probably a year. And it's just I needed to get back in it for me. I needed to start reading it for me. And that's the best way to explain it. On top of it, I went to this teaching or went to this Bible thing last week or two weeks ago and I lost my Bible and I was freaking out. I left it in the lobby and I could not find this thing. And without it, I mean, it's naked. The word is naked. Without it, what I do is I write the meanings in the margin so I don't have to keep looking up stuff.
And yeah, I was, I was kind of freaking out. I mean, I got a new one. I opened it up and it just was like, oh my gosh, I got so much work to do. But anyways, I have my Bible back, thank God. I read this morning. I wanted to go over it a little bit with you today. If you go to Ephesians, chapter one, it says, paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God to the saints. This, this book is written to the saints which are at Ephesus and to the faithful in Christ Jesus. Now, saints is not a big deal. Saints is believe. If you're holy, you're a holy one, you are a saint, you're considered a saint. Anyone that believes in the name of Jesus Christ is a saint.
Verse 2, Grace be to you and peace, which is the state of peace out from the original source of God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Now I love this. Peace comes from God. Goodwill, good favor comes from God. The original source is God. It doesn't come from your acts. It doesn't come from you, it comes from God because it's a spiritual piece and it allows you. You got it. Once you start to go to God and you start to believe and you start to pray and just rest in the fact that you have God with you at all times, the rest of life kind of dissipates. It disappears because you got. You have somebody behind you. And in good times and in the bad times, I mean, yesterday I was on a plane and the motor was so loud, you know, I could have freaked out. I could have freaked out. But you got to change your mind, pray about it, ask God to take care of this situation. And then, you know, let it go. And there's a state of peace in that which you can't. You. You can't have without knowing God, without going to God, without building that relationship with God. Verse 3. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, having. Who. Having blessed us with all or every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places. In Christ you have been given all spiritual blessings. And it's because you have the new mahogan, the. The power from on high. You have the Holy Spirit in you.
You're born of spirit. Once you believe in the name of Jesus Christ, you can communicate with God. You have. You have just everything given to you at that moment. And nobody and no thing and no action can change that. You are a son of God. Now, if you jump over to verse 17, well, verse 16, I cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers, that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him. Now this Spirit of revelation and the knowledge of him that he may give you the unveiling or the uncovering, being acquainted with him.
Once you're acquainted with God, who God is, who you are, who we are. What this is about is all uncovered and unveiled to you.
This is all about getting to know God. It's about joining the rest of God. And the rest is where you cease from your own works as God did from his own. On the seventh day of Sabbath, you got to cease from your word. It's not all on you. It's not all about you. It's about learning to get to know God, building the relationship with God, being enlightened to the wisdom of God.
And yeah, man, that's it. And loving people.
There's two new commandments. Believe in the name of Jesus Christ and love one another. That's what it boils down to have a beautiful day today. Pray the big prayers. When you pray, you always pray to God, never to Jesus Christ. You pray to God, you lift it up in the name of Jesus Christ. Have a blessed day. God bless you and your family. And I'll talk to you tomorrow.
I will be coming home.
[00:05:28] Speaker B: Well, Heavenly Father, thank you so much again for everything that you do. I pray for the situation I'm constantly praying for, Father, that you take care of it, that I just can call my mind down, that you can protect us. Father, I thank you again for each.
[00:05:41] Speaker A: And every moment that you give us.
[00:05:42] Speaker B: And the moments with my family. Thank you for protecting me on the trip and everybody on the trip. I thank you for the business that you've provided, the people that we work with, and the life that you've given. And I just ask continually for just peace, man. I'm very, very thankful for the things that you've given me.
[00:05:59] Speaker A: I just lift up a great day to you.
[00:06:00] Speaker B: In the name of my Lord and Savior Christ Jesus.
