Because the Lord has given us His Spirit, we were told, “He has made known unto us the mystery of His will.”
[Eph 1:9a]
This adds new meaning to “occupy til I come;” which definitely suggests that the “body of Christ” has a “work” to be finished.
[Lk 19:13; Pastor]
Our commission is to “minister the Word, in power;” with signs following, stripping the “strong man” of his armour, and dividing his spoils; aka. to be used, by God, to make all of Christ's enemies His footstool, and bring in the harvest.
[Pastor; Lk 11:22; Mk 16:17; Heb 10:12-13; Matt 9:37-38]
Because we are “connected” to the Lord, by covenant; our default 'new creation' status is “joint heirs;” and all things are ours; and “He upholds all things by the Word of His power.”
[Pastor; Rom 8:17; 1 Cor 3:22-23; Heb 1:1-3]
Hence, we, too, must be about Abba's business; to “finish” the Father's work, which He has purposed in Himself, and chosen us IN Christ, before the foundation of the world. [Pastor; Eph 1:9b; 1:4]
Oh, may the eyes of our understanding be opened to “apprehend” that.
[Eph 1:18; Phil 3:12]
