I'm kind of running late today, so this is gonna be relatively fast. But I'm just so thankful for God and his Word.
[00:00:33] Speaker B: I'm so thankful for people who have.
[00:00:36] Speaker A: Worked the Word and learned the Word for our learning. And I'm just, it's just a blessing that there's a lot of people out there right now. I'm reading this book, the Power for Abundant Living. And it's, you know, there's certain, there's certain principles in there that you know, I've known, but you still kind of battle in your mind. And then you go back to the Word and you read it in the Word and you work it and you gotta lear this stuff for you. It's important to learn the Word for you so that you know it, so that you can stand on those principles and believe what the Word says and believe what the Word says about you. And believing is having that firm reliance, that conviction.
You got to stand on God. And if you go to Ephesians, chapter one, this is written to us, Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God to the saints and the or the holy, which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus. Anytime you read, you got to know who the book's written to. And this is written to us, to the faithful, to the believers, which you and I are.
Verse 2. Grace. And this is goodwill or favor be to you and peace. And that's the state of undisturbed well being be to you out from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
You get peace through Christ because Christ died for you. So that we can have God without being worried about the law, without all these other things. You have a Father who looks at you as a son. Verse 3. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who having blessed us with all or every spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ, according as he hath chosen us in him, in Christ before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him, in love before his sight.
You have to recognize that you are holy and without blame before God.
Now your actions matter, they're going to affect your believing.
What you do in this life affects your believing. And if you live your life walking away from God or walking away from the principles God has in there, there's a lot of fear that's going to come.
You gotta stay focused on the things that matter. And God chose you before the foundation of the world to be His Son. So he looks at you without blemish, without spot. You are righteous in God's eyes.
Verse 5. Having predestinated us or predetermined us to the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to Himself, he decided that His Son was going to die for us, that we would be the sons of God.
He chose you. He knew. He knows and knew who you are. He knows every hair on your head. He is there for you every single moment of every day.
Jump over to verse 15. Wherefore I also, after I heard your faith in the Lord Jesus and love unto all the saints, 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, or unveiling in the knowledge of him. And the knowledge is being acquainted with him.
He's praying to the believers that they get to know God. And it's the same thing that I pray for for each and every one of you.
Once you get to know God, you're acquainted with God, you understand how much he's there for you, and you can let go of the fear that bonds and enslaves us, knowing that we have God, he's going to take care of us.
It's a wonderful, wonderful thing to be acquainted and to know God through learning and have a knowledge of God.
Verse 18. That the eyes of your understanding being enlightened, that he may know what is the hope or the expectation of future good of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance to the saints.
He's praying for the believers that they can see what they have in God.
What you have, what you have right now with God, you have. You are protected. Let God be your rock. If you go to Psalm 62, verse 1. Truly my soul waiteth upon God, for from him cometh my safety and salvation.
It's from God that comes your safety. It's from God that comes your salvation. If you're fearful in life, it's God that's going to protect you. It's not necessarily your works you have to have believing.
Verse 2. Truly he is my rock and my safety in My salvation. He is my defense, my I shall not greatly be moved. And finally, verse five, My soul, wait thou in silence only upon God. For my expectation is from him in all thy ways. Acknowledge him and he shall direct thy path. Lean on God.
Acknowledge God. Let him direct your path. Ask him to show you. Ask him to open the doors or to close the doors.
That's what Christ died for. That's what God wants for you. We live in an administration of grace.
Therefore be thankful and go to God in every situation.
Pray the big prayers today. Lift everything up in the name of Jesus Christ. If you're living in fear, pray to God. Let God's peace protect you.
Pray to God. Lift it up in the name of Jesus Christ. Have a beautiful day. God bless you and your family. I'll talk to you tomorrow my hearing.
I don't have the fear.
Well, Heavenly Father, thank you so much.
[00:06:38] Speaker B: Just again for your believers and those that have worked the word before, before us. Father, I'm thankful that we can go to that. I thank you for each and every.

[00:06:58] Speaker A: On you in all ways and for.
[00:07:00] Speaker B: What your son did, that we have access to that Holy Spirit. Father, I'm grateful for that and I'm grateful that he died for us. And yeah, I'm just thankful for everything you do for us. I lift up a great day to.
