As
for you, you were DEAD in your transgressions and sins,
In
which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world
And
of the ruler of the kingdom of the air,
The
spirit who is now at work in those who are DISOBEDIENT.
All
of us also lived among them at one time,
Gratifying
the cravings of our Sinful Nature
And
following its desires and thoughts.
Like
the rest, we were by nature OBJECTS OF WRATH.
But
because of His great love for us, God, Who is rich in mercy,
Made
us ALIVE with Christ even when we were DEAD in transgressions—
It
is by Grace you have been saved. (Ephesians 2:1-5)
Those
who refuse Christ Jesus' offer of Salvation
Remain
OBJECTS OF WRATH;
Those
who defy his Word, His Covenant and His Commandments,
Which
is most of the world.
However,
those of us who have been crucified with Christ Jesus
To
this world; Who have allowed Christ to live in and through us,
Have
an infinitely better reality awaiting us:
God
raised us up with Christ
And
seated us with Him in the Heavenly Realms IN Christ Jesus,
In
order that in the Coming Ages
He
might show the incomparable riches of His Grace,
Expressed
in His kindness to us IN Christ Jesus.
For
it is by Grace you have been saved, through Faith--
And
this not from yourselves, it is the GIFT of God--
Not
by works, so that no one can boast.
For
we are God's workmanship,
Created
IN Christ Jesus to do good works,
Which
God prepared in advance for us to do.
Therefore,
remember that formerly you who are Gentiles by birth
And
called 'UNCIRCUMCISED'
By
those who call themselves 'the circumcision'
(That
done in the body by the hands of men)--
Remember
that at that time you were separate from Christ,
Excluded
from citizenship in Israel
And
foreigners to the Covenants of the PROMISE,
Without
hope and without God in the world.
But
now IN Christ Jesus you who once were far away
Have
been brought near through the blood of Christ.
For
He Himself is our PEACE; Who has made the two ONE
And
has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of HOSTILITY,
By
abolishing in His flesh the Law with its commandments and
regulations.
His
purpose was to create IN Himself One New Man out of the two,
Thus
making PEACE,
And
in this One Body to reconcile both of them to God through the Cross,
By
which He put to death their hostility.
He
came and preached PEACE to you who were far away
And
PEACE to those who were near.
For
through him we both have access to the Father by One Spirit.
Consequently,
you are no longer foreigners and aliens,
But
fellow citizens with God's people and members of God's household,
Built
on the foundation of the apostles and prophets,
With
Christ Jesus Himself the Chief Cornerstone.
IN
Him the whole building is joined together
And
rises to become a Holy Temple in the Lord.
And
IN Him you too are being built together to become a dwelling
In
which God lives by His Spirit.
Those
who refuse Christ Jesus' offer of Salvation,
Remain
OBJECTS OF WRATH,
And as
such their destination is the Lake of Fire
That
God has prepared for Satan and his demonic hoard.
The
DISOBEDIENT have no excuse for their disobedience
Since
what may be known about God is plain to them.
For
since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities--
His
Divine Nature—have been clearly seen,
Being
understood from what has been made. (Romans 1:19-20)
Today,
the DISOBEDIENT go from war to war,
Pretending
they know where they are going.
They
do this until they come to the Last War, Armageddon,
Where
if Christ Jesus did not intervene
Mankind
would be completely annihilated.
I
pray that those who read this message are not OBJECTS OF WRATH
But
partakers of the Grace of God through Salvation in Christ Jesus;
That
they are part of the One Body of Christ who's destination is Heaven.
Today,
the world is raging against God, rushing toward oblivion. (Psalm 2)
America
is being ground to powder because of her SIN against God.
Save
yourself from this Corrupt Generation! (Acts 2:40)
As
God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!
Father,
Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as in Heaven!
