Eph 1:1-16 1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints which are a t Ephesus, and

to the faithful in Christ Jesus: Father God is to be praised and magnified because: God is sending out the messa ge now of who Jesus is, what He did and what it means to you and to all men righ t now and for the future. And God chose Paul, a learned and devout Jew, who when he learned the truth devoted his learning and commitment to telling and demonst rating this awesome message of God for all men. 2 Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Chris t.(*updated Oct 23, 2011) Father God is to be praised and magnified because: God has given and continues to give and will not pull back His grace (the free ability of God to be just lik e Jesus in any and all parts of life) and peace (the victory that brings Heaven on Earth no matter what the challenge) and this is directed, aimed and applied w ith pressure upon you, and this pressure, intense desire and eagerness is from F ather God and equally from Jesus Christ and Lord/Owner/Ruler of the Universe. *This is a blessing or empowerment for you to read and understand all that is th is letter of Paul by Holy Spirit. This blessing is to fill in any lack you have and to add to any blessing you now walk in so you can receive more of what you n eed to for the blessing to abound in you now. It is Paul, a human, providing Hol y Spirit with words to enable Holy Spirit to help you get what you need to walk in more of the peace and grace of God already given. It is the mixing of spirit and word to produce blessing to those who read and stay in this letter. This is God saying you need help and here is where it starts, getting more of God from H is Word as you read and meditate on this letter. This letter is a vehicle of how Holy Spirit is helping you know and understand how to respond to provide more f or Holy Spirit to help you in all of life. 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us wi th all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: (*updated Oct 23, 2011 ) Father God is to be praised and magnified for: Paul is telling us that God is to be praised, magnified and get His will and glory on Earth in all ways, and Jesu s is to be praised, magnified and get His will, which is Father Gods will and glo ry, on Earth in all ways to the glory of Father God. *Blessed means powered to abundace in the things of Heaven entering and aboundin g in Earth. This ranges from 100 fold increases of harvest while in a famine, to raising the dead and healing, to families that make Heaven on Earth. Heaven is the source of everything of God on Earth and what Earth is to be. Heaven is the source of what each person is called to be. *Spirit is is greater than what we call solid substance or energy in this Univer se. The Universe was made from a combination of spirit and word. And all the goo dness of God is abounded toward us with nothing left out. The fullness of God. T here is no higher or greater blessing than spiritual blessings. They work in Hea ven and on Earth, in any situation where a human can be or go. These blessings a re in and of Heaven so they cannot be lost or corrupted by sin in the Earth. *Since Heaven is eternal and all of God, these blessings are eternal and release all of God that can be in a human. They are there for bringing them to Earth. T hey are what we get when we say, Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven. The ir arrival is called the Kingdom of God; the maintaining of them is called the K ingdom of God. Therefore we are taught to pray, Our Fatrher, who art in Heaven, H

allowed be Thy name. Thy Kingdom come. So we have all the empowerment of God to b ring Heaven to Earth. *And they are in Christ. They were earned by Christ in His incarnation, sufferin g, death, resurrection and glorification, that is our redemption in and by the b lood of Jesus. By covenant we are in Christ Jesus, so God is legally bound to de liver these promises to us in Christ. Those we bring to Earth now, those we coul d have brought to Earth and did not, and those remaining when Heaven comes to Ea rth per Revelation 21 and 22. They are in Christ and we are placed in Christ. Th ey are ours as joint heirs with Jesus. What Jesus got we have the right to prosp er in also. *God is no respector of persons, so the receiving of these blessing into the Ear th now are for those who go after them. God blesses no one in particular; those who go after them get them for themselves or others. If you have them and did no t have faith for God to give them, some one else did. *And Father God has blessed us, made available the full power of Holy Spirit in every part of life for each one of us as a permanent condition, pressure and int ense desire of God, Jesus and Holy Spirit. Blessing is the extreme pressure of G od for good things of God to abound on the Earth and in you. And Father God did this by giving every possible decree, Word, or blessing in the realm of the spir it in Heaven in Christ. God has placed all of His blessing in Jesus and put His intense desire for that to fill the Earth and the entire Universe in Christ, and thus made that a blessing or path for you to have all of Gods blessing in your l ife in Christ. God has made Jesus, the Christ, the method by which God will put all of Himself into the Earth, and He has chosen man, and you in particular, to be the vessel of how this happens by placing all of mankind, and you in particul ar, in Jesus. These awesome blessings of the glory of God for the Earth in reserved in Heaven to be released wherever you are. So if you are on Earth, all of God intensely de sires (as a present condition all the time) to come through you into the Earth f or you to release His benefits, His blessing, His glory into the Earth. And that means every effect of sin, the curse of sin, the devil and every work of the de vil, that is, the kingdom of darkness, will be replace by the Kingdom of God thr ough mankind, human beings, and you in particular. God has give all to and in Je sus, the Christ and by the agency of the Jesus and placing mankind in Jesus so a ll of Jesus is now available in us, mankind, and you in particular, all of the b lessings of Heaven by our redemption in the blood of Jesus. Therefore you, of Gods full use you are in enjoy, release in your present human, mortal body, are capable of being a vessel glory (Holy Spirit) to enter, occupy and prosper in the Earth, beca the Earth and where you are is where God wants to fully have you and deliver His glory.

This means also that your body right now is sacred to God and He wants it to ope rate in perfect health, strength and ability right now. And Father God has destr oyed any limitation in your body as part of His great work in Jesus by His suffe ring, stripes, blood, resurrection and glorification. So any part of you spirit, soul and body God has made a way to quicken into Heaven on Earth right now by H oly Spirit. You and your physical body are important to God and He wants you ful l well, now. So no limitation on your body or soul is from God, and God will hel p you get rid and/or overcome any such limitation in this life now by faith in t he work of Jesus in the 50 days from the Last Supper to the Day of Pentecost 200 0 years ago, and the present work of Jesus now. 4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:

Father God is to be praised and magnified because: this plan is not new, but wh at God planned before He ever made the world (Earth and heavens, Universe) that we humans, and you in particular, should be holy (dedicated for His full and exc lusive use to release His glory into His Earth now because that is where you are now)and without blame. This without blame means that He finds no fault with you t o limit the free flow of His holiness and His glory into the Earth through you b ecause that is where you are now. And God did this motivated, pressured by His a gape love to deliver His full goodness, His full glory to mankind, and you in pa rticular, right now where you are now. God did this because He agape loves you w ith perfect agape love which is intense desire to do good. This agape love means God cannot stop looking at you, being around you, availabl e for you and to you, and He cannot be hurt by you no matter what you do for He sees you in purpose as capable of being the exclusive use of you just He did Jes us (holiness) and blameless, without fault in Jesus (the resurrected and glorifi ed Jesus). All mankind, and you in particular, are the apple of Gods eye. The main event or process Father God used to do this is by placing us in Jesus f or our redemption in Jesus blood. 5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himse lf, according to the good pleasure of his will, Father God is to be praised and magnified because: this is absolutely part of H is plan to place, adopt us (from another condition where we were not adopted or placed in Jesus) as full mature sons through the work and person of Jesus Christ back to Father God Himself. This starts as a legal condition and then we mature or grow into it to just like the fullness of the measure of the man Jesus. This adoption is fully legal and, due to nothing on our part, places us in the p osition of full, mature sons as is Jesus before God and is a permanent condition because it is part of the blessing reserved for us in Heaven, and is not an Eart h thing. And once this adoption takes place there is nothing on Earth that can ch ange it because God declares us a holy and blameless, and to take it away would be an assignment of fault which God does not have toward mankind since before th e foundation of the world, and toward you now in particular. And all of this is Gods joy, galism, even though legal, it ter, and is now getting that re and passion, what He lives delight and pleasure to do, it is not an enforced le is the joy of a Father who had lost a son or daugh son or daughter back. And this is His intense desi for and delights in.

The way God did this was to place mankind in Jesus for our redemption by the blo od of Jesus. 6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in t he beloved. Father God is to be praised and magnified because: right awareness of this trut h in this message results in praise to God to the fullness of Holy Spirit (glory ) that is in the grace (royal decree that cannot be broken or changed of goodnes s, generosity, ability and power). God has done a work through Jesus so that any limitation that could stop anythin g of God in mankind, or your life in particular, has been removed in Jesus so th at all of mankind, and you in particular, God can fully embrace you as a full, m ature and delightful son in Him. Jesus is the Beloved, and you are made beloved in Jesus. That means the full ble ssing of all the covenant promises in the Bible are yours and whatever else can

possibly be better or more like God on the Earth is already yours in Jesus. And because you are beloved His intense passion and desire is to inhabit and ble ss every thought, word and action that reflects His holiness. Therefore any righ t action you do that allows God to move, you have released God and He will overf low what you are doing, because you are in the beloved. The full measure of agape love as described in 1 Cor 13 are pressured upon you b y God all the time with no gap or limitation. If anyone knows how to love it is God and He loves you, and has stationed you permanently in the place of the belov ed. We are accepted in the Beloved Jesus by our redemption in the blood of Jesus for t he apehsis/remission of sins. 7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, accordi ng to the riches of his grace; Father God is to be praised and magnified because: by the Beloved (Jesus) Fathe r God has given us the full payment for our sins and the sin of Adam and his rac e through the blood of Jesus shed on that Passover Day 2000 years ago. And this blood gives aphesis/remission, removal, obliteration, purging, washing away and taking away your sins so they are never yours ever again - past, present or futu re. So Satan has no authority ever to inflict any curse for our sins upon us, and if he does, we have the authority, commission and power of the blood of Jesus to c ommand the devil and his works to go and to release the blessing of God into tha t situation. And this redemption is the level of the super abundance of God so not even the t iniest or the largest of sin is exempt from this redemption and this remission o f sin in the blood of Jesus. There is no sin or group of sins too great to limit the power of the blood of Jesus shed 2000 years ago. This have redemption means this redemption is always right now, a steady state or condition, never to be removed or superseded. Redemption means the full price ha s been paid to complete satisfaction of the laws of God. And it is past tense. W e have a redemption made 2000 years ago that will never need to be repeated. It is done in Jesus forever. And we have it now, forever. And this redemption is done to the riches of Father Gods grace where no good thin g is withheld in any way and available for us to bring from Heaven to Earth all the time and anywhere. Where in Heaven God intensely wants it to come to Earth a nd only waits our believing Him to release it. We make the path by our faith in God by His Word. 8 Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence; Father God is to be praised and magnified because: He has super abounded, way m ore than needed, toward us this redemption and remission of sin in Jesus. It is more than enough forever as Jesus will only shed His blood once and that was don e 2000 years ago, and that work stands forever as super abundant and therefore s uper sufficient. Father God did this in all His wisdom so there would never be a situation where His love and power are not available in this Universe to any person. He did it in His prudence knowing all the issues and situations His mankind will face so H e made it so it is always more than enough. His grace is more than enough. His r edemption in the blood of Jesus is more than enough to remove every work of the

devil forever. This is so great and over the top that no one on the Day of Judgment will ever be able to say that Father God did not do enough to prevent sin or to make availabl e what it takes to remove sin or the effect of sin in this Universe by the blood of Jesus. This is so great and over the top that the devil cannot resist the glory of God to remove sin and the works of the devil out of this Universe and send him and his works to the pit for eternal damnation. It is all done in Jesus and it is all a vailable for mankind to use at any time. So the only limitation on this is in Go ds mankind, those who are redeemed but do not use the authority or power in the r edemption by the blood of Jesus to release the glory of God, Holy Spirit, into a ll the Earth. Wonder of wonders, even our failure to walk in this truth is already remitted, f orgiven and healed in Jesus and is waiting for us by faith to receive the necess ary healing to get us walking in Him to the level of Jesus now. This wisdom included placing mankind, and you in particular, in Jesus as our Sub stitute for our redemption in Jesus, the aphesis/remission, purging, obliteratio n, removal and taking away of sins 2000 years ago. 9 Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleas ure which he hath purposed in himself: Father God is to be praised and magnified because: the ages of mankind have had dreams of such a great release from the power of evil, and God is now proclaimi ng the work of the great mighty arm of God, Jesus, the Christ. Once a carpenter from Nazareth but now Redeemer of the world and Lord of Lords and King of Kings. The magnitude of this awesome work and Father Gods kind intentions have been hidd en until Paul, and even today, because it is so wonderful few can grasp it or ke ep it in their hearts. All of this, even having it hidden for the ages is according to Father Gods will, but us in our time have no excuse not to seek and live in this awesome truth. F ather God purposed to get the Universe clean first through Adam, who failed. But Jesus and His great work was planned for before the foundation of the world, th e Universe was laid, and before Adam was made, so God knew what it would take an d set out to make it happen, which Father God did in Jesus, 2000 years ago. While it seems to us this has taken so long, God in His wisdom and prudence of d oing the right things at the right time in the right way, has done it now. This is the Day of Salvation and it is available to us now. Jesus has done the work. Anything to stop the full redemption to make Heaven on Earth has been abundantl y paid for in the blood of Jesus. The limits on salvation have been removed. The right of the devil to stop anything has been removed. The only limit is what th e devil can deceive us of to be ignorant of these facts and/or to keep us confus ed so we do not enforce this great salvation on him and his works. 10 That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: Father God is to be praised and magnified because: Father has done the work in and through Jesus that will allow Him at the right time to gather all of those t hings in Heaven and Earth in Christ. In Jesus the man who is now glorified and s eated at the right hand of the Majesty on High. So all the promises of the Bible will come to pass and nothing can stop the Word of God. And all of this is in J

esus Christ. And all those in Jesus Christ are part of that now. And this is because Father God placed mankind, and you in particular, into Jesus for our redemption in Jesus blood for the remission, obliteration, purging, remo val, washing and taking away of sin. 11 In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according t o the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will: Father God is to be praised and magnified because: in Jesus we have been given, never to be removed, a promise of location and possession as part of the eterna l plan that cannot be stopped. And Father God does is fully and in agreement wit h His own will. He is not pressured except by His own agape love and desire to s ozo/save His mankind. Anything Father God does is only in accordance with His will and therefore His p lan. If He answers any prayer then answering that kind of prayer is always His w ill. He has given us the Bible to know His will, and He will do His will for He cannot resist His own will. Father God did this by placing mankind, and you in particular, into Jesus as our Substitute for out redemption in Jesus blood for the forgiveness, aphesis/remiss ion of sins and the curse of sin so that we can overcome the devil and his works , now, in this life to bring Heaven to Earth. Rev 12:11 And they overcame him (Sa tan, the devil) by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; an d they agape/loved not their psuche/lives (souls) unto the death. KJV And we will overcome the devil and his works, in this life, now, as we cooperate with Father God by Holy Spirit by renewing our mind into the new creation in Ch rist Jesus: Rom 16:20 And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet sho rtly (as shattered glass). The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you [to kn ow, be and do this]. Amen. KJV 12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. Father God is to be praised and magnified because: all of this awesome planning and release of Holy Spirit is so that what He does in mankind, and you in parti cular, will cause praise from all sources to God for His goodness and power and ability. And as examples to all of mankind, Paul and the early Christians were examples o f what God can do and a taste of what even more God can do in anyone who will be lieve Him by trusting in the nature of Christ and His great work 2000 years ago. And any man gains access to this great super abundant grace by trusting in Chri st. 13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that h oly Spirit of promise, Father God is to be praised and magnified because: He has made this wonder of t he ages available to all who can hear the truth of His great love for mankind, a nd you in particular. Father God has fully sozo/saved us into His so great soteria/salvation. All have been opened and all has been done already. And when you believe this word of s alvation then God seals Holy Spirit to you. This is like a brand that can never be removed. This is the glory of God sealed, bonded, attached, stuck and made on e with you.

This is the great promise of God given to Abraham where God said, In you all the nations will be blessed. Holy Spirit is this blessing. Holy Spirit is God Himself . He is the power, the teacher, the friend, the encourager, the mind of Christ, the wisdom of God, the fear of God and the strength of God for mankind to do tho se things of the will of God. If God has sealed Holy Spirit to you then only God can remove Him from you, but God will never will because Father God only sees you as holy and blameless befor e Him. So no sin is so great or so many as to break that seal. And if it is Gods will to have Holy Sprit dwelling in you, it is always His will for Holy Spirit to dwell in you. Holy Spirit is a person, He is God. So if you h ave Holy Spirit you have all of Him for He cannot be divided. So you always have God dwelling in you by Holy Spirit. You always have the Word of God made flesh, Jesus, always dwelling in you. You may make the ride of Holy Spirit in you glad or sad, but Holy Spirit can go nowhere for He is sealed to you forever when you believe the word of your salvat ion in Jesus. So every believer who got sealed by Holy Spirit has the full power and wisdom and mind of God forever. Any lack of Holy Spirit or Jesus power is through ignorance or deception because a Christian, which by definition is one who Holy Spirit indwells, already has a ll of God there is to have, just like Jesus had in the gospels, and just like Je sus has now at the right hand of Father God. There is no limitation that we face now that God has not already solved in Jesus and made the overcoming answer ava ilable to us by grace. 14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory. Father God is to be praised and magnified because: Holy Spirit in the Christian now is a down payment and guarantee that one Day God will fulfill His complete redemption in Christ. This assurance is as permanent as the seal whereby Holy Sp irit is sealed to the Christian. And when this redemption is complete (spirit, soul and body) it will cause great praise from all so saved, as well as from all those beings who see it. Since we already have every spiritual blessing of God that it is possible for Go d to say, then Holy Spirit in us is available for us right now as we renew our m ind into the truth and ways of God by the Scriptures. 15 Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unt o all the saints, 16 Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers; Father God is to be praised and magnified because: by Paul Father God shows us in this prayer and other Scriptures that it takes prayer, Bible reading, study, meditation and good works of the God kind for us to learn by Holy Spirit of thes e awesome facts so we can use them to bring Heaven to Earth for, by through and with Father God. We have a part to play in the process. Each one individually an d the leadership, and these prayers by Paul in the New Testament are the prayers of a godly leader. The work and paths are already done so we have to learn how to walk in them so we can be Jesus in the Earth now, today. This prayer of Paul, and the other one in Ephesians 3, are essentially prayers a sking God to get us to understand the message of the rest of Ephesians. You as a believer and you as a leader should pray, read, study and meditate on these pra yers often to get the mind of Christ in the New Testament revelation God gave to

Paul. Father God is to be praised and magnified because: All this work of God is in t he past tense, we are to now use this information to renew our minds and walk as Jesus walked for our time and place. So there is no limit for us to obey: Matt 10:7 And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. 8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dea d, cast out devils: freely ye have lambano/received, freely give. While Jesus commanded or gave this to the disciples, by the work of Father God a s revealed in these above passages, we have now been given all that Jesus is now , so we are to lambano Jesus to walk as Jesus walked, now. Rom 13:14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the fle sh, to fulfil the lusts thereof. Please send us any similar mediations you have on these scriptures. God bless yo u and yours in the Name of Jesus to be more noble in Him (Acts 17:11-12)Jesus is Lord! Don CPM:www.CovenantPeaceMinistries.com Blog.CovenantPeace.com
