Where Am I For Real! Part 2

By the resurrection of Jesus, God has NOW quickened us together ...raised us up together, and made us to sit together in heavenly places IN Christ Jesus: that in the ages to come Abba might demonstrate the exceeding riches of His grace ...toward us through our relationship with Christ Jesus.

[Pastor; Ephesians 2:4-7]

 When Jesus ascended unto The Father, angels, authorities, and powers were made subject unto Him; as He triumphed over them; having spoiled/or stripped them of all power and authority ...and He appeared unto His disciples and announced, “All power is given unto Me in heaven and in earth … and, Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy ...”

[1 Peter 3:21-22; Colossians 2:15; Luke 10:19]

note. But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become sons of God, even to them that believe on His Name. [John 1:12]

ThenSingsMySoul:

IF YE THEN BE RISEN WITH CHRIST

SEEK THOSE THINGS WHICH ARE ABOVE,

WHERE CHRIST SITTETH ON THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD.

SET YOUR AFFECTIONS ON THINGS ABOVE,

NOT ON THINGS ON THE EARTH;

FOR YE ARE DEAD AND YOUR LIFE IS HID WITH CHRIST,
IN GOD.

Where Am I For Real! Understanding The "Hope" of Abba's Calling (7.23.17)

NOW, we are IN Christ, IN heavenly places, IN the midst of the spiritual warfare, taking dominion, and exercising authority; IN The Name of The Lord, Jesus.

After all, Abba's calling to mankind was to “Be fruitful,” ...”multiply,” ...”replenish,” ...”subdue,” ...and “have dominion over” the works of His hands.   [Pastor; Ephesians 1:3; Genesis 1:28; Psalms 8:6]

Jesus said, “From the days of John the Baptist until NOW the Kingdom of Heaven suffereth violence (opposition), but the violent (energized by His strength) take it back/seize it/or subdue it by force (By My Spirit).” [Matthew 11:12; Zechariah 4:6]

For the “Hope” of our calling is wrought by the working of His mighty power IN and through us; to  the Glory of God. [Ephesians 1:18-19]

MY LIFE IS IN YOU, LORD

MY STRENGTH IS IN YOU, LORD

MY HOPE IS IN YOU, LORD

IT'S IN YOU!

Jenelsie's Corner (7.23.17)

My sisters and brothers,

What a time of rejoicing for us now as we receive the Word amid afflictions. Yes, His light has shown in our darkness even as Paul prayed for the saints. The eyes of our understanding being enlightened, we are coming to know what is the hope of His calling! "Where are we, for real?" Hear the Word of the Lord and rejoice because of the continual revelation in the knowledge of HIM--the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory! Hallelujah!

Love by our Lord,
Jenelsie, Pastor's wife

Out Of The Belly Of Hell (7.16.17)

He that descended (into the lower parts of the earth/aka “the belly of”hell”) is the same that ascended up (unto The Father) far above all heavens, that He might fill all things.

[Ephesians 4:9; Jonah 2:2; John 20:17 ]

Wherefore ...when he ascended up on high, He led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men;

that He might conquer those (such as sin, the devil, and death) who had conquered us.

[Ephesians 4:8; Matthew Henry Commentary]

In the 18^th Psalm of David, he sang:

“I will call upon The Lord, Who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies. (The Lord) delivered me from my strong enemy, and ...brought me forth into a large place ...because he delighted in me.”

ThenSingsMySoul:

HE BROUGHT ME OUT OF THE MIRY CLAY,

HE PLACED MY FEET ON A ROCK TO STAY;

HE PUT A SONG IN MY HEART TODAY,
