NOW UNTO HIM THAT IS ABLE
Ephesians 3:20-21 (KJV)
20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,
21 Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
(THE WORD OF GOD FOR THE CHILDREN OF GOD )
NOW IF I COULD GET A BAPTIST AMEN -A BORN AGAIN BELIEVER PRAISE GOD AND A BETHESDA MISSIONARY BAPTIST CHURCH HALLELUJAH
I WANT TO REASON WITH YOU ON THE THOUGHT (NOW UNTO HIM THAT IS ABLE )
MY BROTHERS AND MY SISTERS
THE WRITER OF THIS LETTER BEFORE US
IS NONE OTHER THAN THE APOSTLE PAUL
PAUL THE SON OF A PHARISEE
WHO WAS REARED IN TARSUS THE CAPITAL CITY OF CILICIA
ATTENDED THE FINEST SCHOOL OF TARSUS WHERE HE LEARN THE TRADE OF A TENT MAKER
AT THE AGE OF 13 HE WAS SENT TO JERUSALEM TO SIT AT THE FEET GAMALIEL
WHERE HE LEARN THE HEBREW SCRIPTURE
EARLY CHURCH HISTORY REVEALS THAT PAUL WAS VERY STUDIOUS
FOR HE COULD QUOTE THE 1ST FIVE BOOKS OF THE LAW VERSE BY VERSE
COULD EVEN SPEAK IN 14 DIFFERENT LANUAGES AND HAD MASTERED 7
BUT EVEN THOUGH HE HAD ALL THAT EDUCATION HE STILL HAD ONE PROBLEM
AND THAT WAS WHEN HE WENT DOWN THE DAMASCUS ROAD HE DID`NT KNOW WHO JESUS WAS
BUT AIN`T IT GOOD NEWS
I SAY AIN`T IT GOOD NEWS
THAT WE SERVE A GOD WHO CAN TAKE WHAT THE DEVIL HAS MEANT FOR BAD
AND TURN IT AROUND AND MAKE IT WORK FOR OUR GOOD
CAN I BORROW A SKINNY MINUTE AND TELL YOU WHAT I`M TALKING ABOUT
YOU SEE WHEN HE WENT TO DAMASCUS HE WAS A AIN`T
BUT WHEN HE LEFT HE WAS A TRANSFORMED SAINT
PAUL WRITES THIS LETTER TO THE CHURCH AT EPHESUS
WHILE UNDER HOUSE ARREST IN ROME
AND HE WAS`NT UNDER HOUSE ARREST
FOR RAPE – ROBBERY OR MURDER
BUT HE WAS UNDER HOUSE ARREST FOR TELLING OTHERS ABOUT THE GOODNESS OF JESUS
AND HE WRITES THIS LETTER TO ENCOURAGE THE CHURCH AT EPHESUS IN THERE WALK WITH GOD
FOR THEY WOULD UNDERSTAND THE NATURE AND THE PURPOSE OF THE CHURCH
AND ALL 6 CHAPTER OF THIS LETTER IS A BLESSING FROM GOD
THAT IS DIVIDED INTO 2 SECTIONS
YOU SEE CHAPTERS 1-2-3 ARE DOCTRINAL
AND CHAPTERS 4-5-6 ARE PRACTICAL
BUT THE 1ST 3 CHAPTERS ARE KNOWN AS A THEOLOGICAL GOLDMINE
BECAUSE PAUL REVEALS TO THE CHURCH
HOW GOD IS ONE IN ESSENCE
AND TRIUNE IN PERSONALITY
IN OTHER WORDS
HE TELLS US ABOUT A FATHER WITH A PLAN
A SON WHO REDEEMS
AND THE HOLY SPIRIT WHO FILLS
BY LETTING US KNOW THAT GOD HAD US ON HIS MIND BEFORE THE EARTH HAD AND AXIS
AND THE MOON HAD A GLOW
GOD HAD US ON THE RADAR OF HIS REDEMPTIVE LOVE
THEN HE SHOWS US THE WORK OF THE SON
BY SAYING WE HAVE REDEMPTION THROUGH HIS BLOOD ACCORDING TO THE RICHES OF HIS GRACE
PAUL LETS US KNOW THAT
JESUS HUNG - BLEED- DIED
WAS PLACE IN A BORROWED TOMB
GOT UP THE 3RD DAY MORNING
AND NOW HAS RULE --REGENCY AND SHALL RETURN
CAN I GIVE IT TO YOU IN RETRANSLATION MODE
JESUS PAID A DEBT HE DID NOT OWE
A DEBT WE COULD NOT PAY
THEN HE TELLS US ABOUT THE WORK OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
BY LETTING US KNOW WE ARE SEAL UNTO THE DAY OF REDEMPTION
BECAUSE YOU DO KNOW
THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
BEING SEAL BY THE SPIRIT AND BEING FILL WITH THE SPIRIT
BECAUSE YOU CAN BE SEAL AND NOT FILL
BUT YOU CAN`T BE FILL AND NOT SEAL
BECAUSE THE THE SEALING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT HAPPENS ONCE AND FOR ALL
BUT THE FILLING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT HAPPENS OVER AND OVER AGAIN
*********************************
IN CHAPTER 2
HE LETS US KNOW HOW SIN WORKS AGAINST US
BUT HOW GOD -WORK FOR US --IN US AND THROUGH US
**********************************
IN CHAPTER 3 PAUL PRAISE GOD FOR THE CHURCH BEING STEWARDS OF THE GOSPEL
THEN HE PRAYS
HE PRAYS FOR GOD TO STRENGHTEN THE INNER MAN AND THERE FAITH
THAT WE WOULD BE ROOTED AND GROUNDED IN LOVE
AND BE FILL WITH THE FULLNESS OF GOD
THEN PAUL MAKES A THEOLOGICAL DECLARATION
AND THIS WHERE OUR TEXT WILL BEGIN
PAUL SAYS
20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,
21 Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
HE ENDS HIS PRAYER WITH PRAISE AND GIVE THE DOXOLGY
IN OTHER WORDS HE GIVES GOD THE GLORY
AND I WANT TO ENCOURAGE YOU BETHESDA
AS A BODY OF BAPTIZE BELIEVERS IN THE LORD
TO KEEP GIVING GOD THE GLORY
BECAUSE THE LORD IS WORTHY TO BE PRAISE
EVEN IN THE MIDIST OF THIS CORONA VIRIUS PANADEMIC
BECAUSE THIS TEXT BEFORE US IS TAILORED TO TEACH US 3 THINGS YOU MUST CONTINUE TO DO
AND THAT IS APPLY GOD PRINCIPLES
ABIDE IN GODS PROGRAM
AND STAND ON HIS PROMISES
YOU SEE THE PRINCIPLE IN THE TEXT
IS NOW UNTO HIM
IN OTHER WORDS STAY CONNECTED TO HIM
BECAUSE PAUL PAINTS US A PORTIAT OF WHO HIM REALLY IS
YOU SEE HIM STEP OUT ON NOTHING
AND REACH BACK INTO NOTHING
AND TOOK NOTHING AND MADE SOMETHING
AND TOOK SOMETHING AND MADE EVERYTHING
HIM TOOK SILCONE AND OXYGEN AND MADE DIRT
TOOK DIRT AND MADE DUST
TOOK DUST AND MADE MAN
TOOK MAN AND MADE WOMAN
AND PUT THEM TOGETHER AND TOLD THEM TO BE FRUITFUL AND
MULTIPY
TOOK ANGEOSPERM AND MADE A SEED
TOOK A SEED AND MADE A BUSH
TOOK A BUSH AND AND MADE A TREE
TOOK A TREE AND MADE WOOD
TOOK THE WOOD AND MADE AND ALTAR
PUT THE ALTAR ON A MOUNTIAN CALL CALVARY
AND SENT HIS SON DOWN THAT WE MIGHT HAVE SALVATION
AND FOR THOSE OF OF YALL WHO DON`T KNOW WHO HIM IS
KEEP COMING TO CHURCH
BOTH THOSE OF US WHO KNOW HIM
LOVE HIM
PRAISE HIM
ADORE HIM
YOU OUGHT TO LOOK AT YOUR NEIGHBOR
AND TELL THEM I`M HERE BECAUSE OF HIM
*********************************
NOTICE-- NOTICE -- NOTICE
THE PROGRAM IS THAT GOD IS ABLE
IN OTHER WORDS
WE HAVE TO ACTIVATE OUR FAITH FILE
AND REMEMBER WHAT HIM HAS ALREADY DONE
AND STILL ABLE TO DO
**********************************
YOU SEE
THE PROMISE IS HE CAN DO EXCEEDLY AND ABUNDUNTLY ABOVE ABOVE WE CAN ASK OR THINK
HE LETS US KNOW THAT THERE IS NOTHING GOD CAN`T DO
