Christ Has Blessed Us With Every Spiritual Blessing

Blessing (praise, laudation and eulogy) be to the God and Father

Of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Messiah,

Who had blessed us in Christ with EVERY Spiritual

(Holy Spirit given) blessing in the Heavenly Realm!

Even as [in His love] He chose us—

Actually picked us out for Himself as His Own--

In Christ before the foundation of the World;

That we should be holy consecrated and SET APART for Him)

And blameless in His sight, even above reproach, before Him in love.

For He foreordained us (destined us, planned in love for us)

To be adopted [revealed] as His Own children through Jesus Christ,

In accordance with the purpose of His will--

Because it pleased Him and was His kind intent;

[So that we might be] to the praise

And the commendation of His Glorious Grace—Favor and Mercy--

Which He so freely bestowed on us in the Beloved.

In Him we have Redemption (deliverance and salvation) through His blood,

The Remission (forgiveness) of our offenses (shortcomings and trespasses),

In accordance with the riches and the generosity of His Gracious Favor,

Which He LAVISHED upon us in every kind of wisdom and understanding

(Practical insight and prudence),

Making know to us the Mystery (secret) of His will—

Of His plan, of His purpose.

[And it is this:] In accordance with His good pleasure (His merciful intention)

Which He had previously purposed and set forth in Him.

[He planned] for the maturity of the times and the Climax Of The Ages

To UNIFY ALL THINGS and head them up

And CONSUMMATE THEM IN CHRSIT,

[Both] things in Heaven and things on the earth.

In Him we also were made [God's] HERITAGE (portion)

And we obtained an INHERITANCE;

For we had been foreordained (chosen and appointed before hand)

In accordance with His purpose,

Who works out everything in agreement

With the counsel and design of His [Own] will.

So that we who first hoped in Christ--Who first put our confidence in Him--

[Have been destined and appointed] to live for the praise of His Glory!

In Him you also who have heard the Word of Truth,

the glad tidings (Gospel) of your Salvation,

And have believed in and have adhered to and have relied on Him,

WERE STAMPED WITH THE SEAL of the long promised Holy Spirit.

That [Spirit] IS THE GUARANTEE OF OUR INHERITANCE--

The First Fruit, the Pledge and Foretaste, THE DOWN PAYMENT

Of our HERITAGE—in anticipation of its FULL REDEMPTION

And our acquiring [complete] possession of it, to the praise of His Glory.

For this reason, because I have heard of your Faith in the Lord Jesus

And your love toward all the saints (the people of God),

I do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers.

[For I always pray] the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of Glory,

That He may grant you a spirit of Wisdom and Revelation--

Of INSIGHT INTO MYSTERIES AND SECRETS--

In the [DEEP AND INTIMATE] knowledge of Him,

By having the eyes of your heart flooded with LIGHT,

So that you can know and understand the Hope to which He has called you And how rich is His GLORIOUS INHERITANCE in the saints--

His SET-APART ONES.

And [so that you can know and understand]

What is the IMMESURABLE AND UNLIMITED AND SURPASSING GREATNESS

Of His Power in and for us who believe,

As demonstrated in the working of His MIGHTY STRENGTH,

Which He exerted in Christ Jesus WHEN HE RAISE HIM FROM THE DEAD

And seated Him at His [Own] Right Hand in the Heavenly [places],

FAR ABOVE ALL RULE AND AUTHORITY AND POWER AND DOMINION,

And EVERY NAME that is named--Above every title that can be conferred--

Not only in THIS AGE and this World,

But in the Age and the World which are to come.

And He has put ALL THINGS UNDER HIS FEET

And has appointed Him the Universal and Supreme Head of the Church

(A headship exercised throughout the Church), [Ps 8:6.]

WHICH IS HIS BODY, the fullness of Him Who fills ALL IN ALL--

FOR IN THAT BODY LIVES THE FULL MEASURE OF HIM

Who makes EVERYTHING COMPLETE,

And Who FILLS EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE [with Himself].

(Ephesians 1, AMP)

Today, the world is raging against God, rushing toward oblivion.(Psalm 2)

This World in its present form is passing away. (1 Corinthians 7:31)

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!
