08/26               Ephesians 4:4 

For there is one body and one Spirit, just as you have been called to one glorious hope for the future. 

JESUS

Jesus is from God and is God.  He is the part of the God-head that has been revealed to us in the flesh.  When you meet Jesus you have met the Father and the Spirit for the three are one.  Jesus is Lord.  He calls you to a relationship that is available to you.  Simply call upon Him.  He who comes to Jesus and believes that He is Lord and by faith lives with that belief is saved.  It is a free gift from God. 

08/25               Ephesians 4:3
Make every effort to keep yourselves united in the Spirit, binding yourselves together with peace.

UNITY
We want to hear what the Lord says and by our humility walk in unity with the Holy Spirit.  We cannot hold hands with the world and walk with Jesus.  First ask for forgiveness for yourself then forgive those you hold a grudge against.  Forgiveness is a one-way street.  It only requires that you forgive and then you are in a position to walk with the Lord.  Peace and joy to you this very day from the Lord Jesus.  Jesus loves you. 

08/24               Ephesians 4:2 

Always be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other’s faults because of your love. 

ALLOWANCE

We need to make allowance for others.  Instead make allowance for ourselves then hold others to a much higher standard.  Don’t do that.  Ask the Lord to forgive you and help you to deal with others kindly and with much forgiveness. 

08/23               Ephesians 4:1 

Therefore, I, a prisoner for serving the Lord, beg you to lead a life worthy of your calling, for you have been called by God. 

LEAD

Choose whom you will follow.  Will you follow the world and deny God’s power or will you follow Jesus and believe that the Lord loves you and will give you the power you need for living?  Jesus loves you. 

08/22               Ephesians 3:20-21 

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.  21 Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen.

ASK

Remember to ask the Lord for what you need.  The Lord will hear and He will answer and you can be confident that His activity in your life is greater than anything you might think or ask. 

08/21               Ephesians 3:19 

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. 

YOU

Whatever you are doing now you can be sure that the Lord is aware of it.  He knows everything about you.  Jesus loves you fully and completely.  You will never plumb the depths of Christ’s love for you.  It is an amazing love that will equip you to stand in the face of any storm. 

08/20               Ephesians 3:17-18 

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. 18 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. 

COMPLETE

We are complete in Christ.  He is God’s everything.  We have everything we need for a Christ like life in Jesus Christ.  Turn to Jesus.  Let Him lead you step by step in a Godly lifestyle. 

08/19               Ephesians 3:14-16 

When I think of all this, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, 15 the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth. 16 I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. 

STAND

Whatever you are facing you can make it.  His strength in you will equip you to stand in the face of the onslaught of the powers and principalities of the air and still keep moving forward under His leadership.  Jesus will see you through. 

08/18               Ephesians 3:12-13 

Because of Christ and our faith in him, we can now come boldly and confidently into God’s presence.  13 So please don’t lose heart because of my trials here. I am suffering for you, so you should feel honored. 

COME

The Father encourages us to come.  We can approach Him in Christ.  Jesus gives us His righteousness.  We can go to the Father with everything we have on our heart and then some.  Pray. 

08/17               Ephesians 3:9-11 

I was chosen to explain to everyone this mysterious plan that God, the Creator of all things, had kept secret from the beginning.  10 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.  11 This was his eternal plan, which he carried out through Christ Jesus our Lord. 

PLAN

You are God’s plan, your life, your experience and your contacts.  People need people and we are His minsters.  Jesus is Lord.
