Ephesians 6
1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.
2 “Honor your Father and Mother”
(this is the first commandment with a promise),
3 “that it may go well with you
and
that you may live long in the land.”
4 Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.
5 Slaves, [bondservants] obey your earthly masters with fear and trembling, with a sincere heart, as you would Christ, 6 not by the way of eye-service, as people-pleasers
But as servants of Christ, doing the Will of God from the heart,
rendering service with a good will as to the Lord and not to man,
Knowing that whatever good anyone does, this he will receive back from the Lord, whether he is a slave or free.
9 Masters, do the same to them, and stop your threatening, knowing that He Who is both their Master [Lord] and Yours is in Heaven,
and that there is no partiality with Him.
10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His Might.
11 Put on the whole Armor of God,
that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil.
12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood,
but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.
13 Therefore take up the whole Armor of God,
that you may be able to withstand in the evil day,
and having done all,
to stand firm.
14 Stand therefore,
having fastened on the Belt of Truth,
and
having put on the
Breastplate of Righteousness,
And,
as Shoes for your feet,
having put on the readiness given by the
Gospel of Peace.
16 In all circumstances
take up the
Shield of faith,
with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one;
and
Take up
The Helmet of Salvation,
and the
Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God,
18 praying at all times in the Spirit,
with all prayer and supplication.
To that end keep alert with all perseverance,
making supplication for all the saints, 19 and also for me, that Words may be given to me in opening my mouth boldly to proclaim the mystery of the Gospel, 20 for which I am an ambassador in chains, that I may declare it boldly, as I ought to speak.
21 So that you also may know how I am and what I am doing, Tychicus the beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord will tell you everything. 22 I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know how we are, and that he may encourage your hearts.
23 Peace be to the brothers and sisters, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!
24 Grace be with all who love our Lord Jesus Christ with love incorruptible!
Love Incorruptible.
Yesterday we talked about Mother's Day. And we took our lives to the Lord with tender love.
Today, we will talk about going before The Lord God Almighty. There is probably a dynamic and completely engaging reason when the people of God meet the Angel of the Lord, they are not quite steady on their feet, deciding if they are Meeting GOD or speaking with an Angel, an Archangel. Just awe and complete fright.
Do Not Be Afraid!
Archangel Gabriel, who boldly proclaims, he stands before the Lord God, went to two people in one planned era of God. One wanted a sign, the other said if God wants to shake up my world - He is God and I will go with Him. The mystery of the Gospel, one of the secrets to you has been given the secret of the Kingdom of God. God is really looking at hearts open to Him.
Proverbs tells us God and our heart know each other quite well.
God is going with the Earnest Heart to Him.
Ephesians 6 reminds us there is a spiritual battle. Larger than we are. In God's hands. Our part as children of God is to act with kindness, to be sincere, to work hard at the work God gives us, and to pray. To stay in our faith, to be ambassadors for Jesus Christ.
For His Incorruptible Love toward us. Father God.
Incorruptible - once you have been privileged to put on the armor of God, you never have to remove this. Jesus is Lord is a dart prayer acknowledging we are protected in Jesus Christ. Calling His Name is a great and eternal call in Prayer. God says He is with us always.
And in examining the Scripture and Ephesians 6, we have found a living and active Word of God for honoring our Father.
John 1
The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
Psalm 139:17
"How precious to me are your thoughts, O God!
How vast is the sum of them"
Matthew 6:8
Your Father knows what you need
before
you ask Him.
John 15:3
Abide in
God's Love
I consider myself fortunate
to stand before you today
Dwell in me,
Dwell in us,
Dwell in those we Love,
Help us to seek You first.
And we will finish well,
in
Jesus Christ.
Father,
Help us
to speak sincerely,
mercifully
Lovingly
Help us seek and find
and bring,
to become,
more Heaven
to this earth.
To be rid
of
Evil
hiding
lying
harm.
To end what is Unrighteous.
Harmful
Plotting
Absorbed by self in all manners
Malicious.
Lord Jesus Christ soon.
Invited to meet Jesus.
The Glory
of
the Paths of
Righteousness
Gift of God
