All Glory To God, Who Is Able, Through His Mighty Powers At Work Within Us, To Accomplish Infinitely More Than We Might Ask Or Think Or Imagine

EPHESIANS 3:14-21
“For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height— to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

The family of God includes all who have believed in Him in the past, the present, and the future. We are all one family because we have the same Father.
He is the source of all creation, and the rightful owner of everything. God promises His love and power to all His family, the church (3:16-21), those who believe on Him.
It is important that we stay in contact with other believers and join together in fellowship and worship within the body of Christ, for those who isolate themselves and try to go it alone, run the risk of cutting themselves off from God's power and open doors to the devils attacks because, like a Wolfe, “your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.”
‭‭I Peter‬ ‭5‬:‭8‬ ‭NKJV‬
Their are many who are called to travel alone from place to place, and ministry to ministry, especially those operating within a prophetic ministry, but we all need regular assembly, fellowship, and prayer.
In these last days, we see moral standards falling away, sexual immorality is growing and is seen as normal, as is addiction, drunkenness, wild parties, and such things as these, and is empowering the devil even more.
Fear is his master weapon over believers in today’s world, as we see our financial systems collapse, poverty is growing, and wars and frets of wars steal our peace and inflict more and more fear into the people.
Fear is the opposite of faith, like hot is the opposite of cold and fuels anxiety/ depression which is rampant in this world today.
Fear is the fuel of anxiety/ depression and all kinds of mental health issues, and many people are suffering being bound by the spirit of fear.
It’s not surprising that God’s Word tells us some 365 times “do not fear”.
Just like the disciple’s in Jesus day, many Christians find it hard to believe that they maybe held in bondage and need deliverance.
“Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” They answered Him, “We are Abraham’s descendants, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How can You say, ‘You will be made free’?” Jesus answered them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin.”
‭‭John‬ ‭8‬:‭31‬-‭34‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
The truth is, sin lets the devil in.
The first step of deliverance is acknowledging that you may need it.
So many say, “I can’t have a demon because I have the Holy Spirit.” But many of the disciples back then were in bondage and the problem is the same today, which is why Jesus told us to pray, “deliver us (God’s people) from the evil one (MATHEW 6:33), the devil and his army of demons.
But James tells us, “Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.”
‭‭James‬ ‭4‬:‭7‬-‭10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Submit fully to the Lord, His ways, plans, and purposes, and sin no more. To rebuke the devil is to verbally him and his demons out and they shall flee from you.
Sometimes they are stubborn, but persistence will force them out.
“Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. They answered Him, “We are Abraham’s descendants, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How can You say, ‘You will be made free’?” Jesus answered them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin. And a slave does not abide in the house forever, but a son abides forever. Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.”
‭‭John‬ ‭8‬:‭31‬, ‭33‬-‭36‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
If you are struggling with addiction, anxiety/depression, suicidal thoughts, nightmares, lust or any repetitive sin or continuous health issues, it’s likely that you need deliverance and whilst self-deliverance is possible, you should probably seek it through a ministry operating in healing and deliverance.
Paul says, "God's love is total, it reaches every corner of our experience." It is wide, it covers the breadth of our own experience, and it reaches out to the whole world. God’s love is long, it continues the length of our lives, and it is high, it rises to the heights of our celebration and elation. His love is deep, it reaches to the depths of discouragement, despair, and even death. When you feel isolated, remember, you can not be separated from God's love. This "fullness" is expressed only in Christ (COLOSSIANS 2:9-10).
In union with Christ and through his empowering Spirit, we are complete.
We have the fullness of God available to us, but we must appropriate that fullness through faith and through prayer as we live each day for Christ Jesus.
Paul's prayer for the Ephesians is also for you.
You can ask the Holy Spirit to fill every aspect of your life to the fullest.
“Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way which He consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh, and having a High Priest over the house of God, let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭10‬:‭19‬-‭25‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Without the holy Spirit we can do nothing good, but in His power we can do all things through Christ who is our strength ((PHILIPPIANS 4:13). Furthermore, His power and authority shall live in us and even the demons become subject to us in Jesus name (LUKE 10:17).
It’s hard even to imagine, but the same power that created heavens and earth, and everything in it, that raised Christ from the dead, lives in every Spirit filled believer, and can do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be the glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, for ever and ever. Amen.
But how my beloved does one receive the gift of the holy Spirit?
Peter said, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call.””
‭‭Acts‬ ‭2‬:‭38‬-‭39‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Having received the gift of the holy Spirit our eternal future is sealed, for “In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭1‬:‭13‬-‭14‬ NKJV
Furthermore, the promise is not only to you, but your children too, and as many as the Lord our God will call.
My beloved, in these last days the works of the devil is plain to see. But their is Good News, God is also doing a good work, reaching out to all with ears to listen in a last call of revival.
He said through His Prophet Jeol,and the time is now.
“”Now, therefore,” says the Lord, “Turn to Me with all your heart, With fasting, with weeping, and with mourning.” So rend your heart, and not your garments; Return to the Lord your God, For He is gracious and merciful, Slow to anger, and of great kindness; And He relents from doing harm. Who knows if He will turn and relent, And leave a blessing behind Him— A grain offering and a drink offering For the Lord your God? Blow the trumpet in Zion, Consecrate a fast, Call a sacred assembly; Gather the people, Sanctify the congregation, Assemble the elders, Gather the children and nursing babes; Let the bridegroom go out from his chamber, And the bride from her dressing room. Let the priests, who minister to the Lord, Weep between the porch and the altar; Let them say, “Spare Your people, O Lord, And do not give Your heritage to reproach, That the nations should rule over them. Why should they say among the peoples, ‘Where is their God?’ ” Then the Lord will be zealous for His land, And pity His people. The Lord will answer and say to His people, “Behold, I will send you grain and new wine and oil, And you will be satisfied by them; I will no longer make you a reproach among the nations. “But I will remove far from you the northern army, And will drive him away into a barren and desolate land, With his face toward the eastern sea And his back toward the western sea; His stench will come up, And his foul odor will rise, Because he has done monstrous things.” Fear not, O land; Be glad and rejoice, For the Lord has done marvelous things! Do not be afraid, you beasts of the field; For the open pastures are springing up, And the tree bears its fruit; The fig tree and the vine yield their strength. Be glad then, you children of Zion, And rejoice in the Lord your God; For He has given you the former rain faithfully, And He will cause the rain to come down for you— The former rain, And the latter rain in the first month. The threshing floors shall be full of wheat, And the vats shall overflow with new wine and oil. “So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, The crawling locust, The consuming locust, And the chewing locust, My great army which I sent among you. You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied, And praise the name of the Lord your God, Who has dealt wondrously with you; And My people shall never be put to shame. Then you shall know that I am in the midst of Israel: I am the Lord your God And there is no other. My people shall never be put to shame. “And it shall come to pass afterward That I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your old men shall dream dreams, Your young men shall see visions. And also on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days. “And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth: Blood and fire and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, And the moon into blood, Before the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord. And it shall come to pass That whoever calls on the name of the Lord Shall be saved. For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be deliverance, As the Lord has said, Among the remnant whom the Lord calls.”
‭‭Joel‬ ‭2‬:‭12‬-‭32‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.
