(Ephesians
3)
I,
Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for the sake of you Gentiles--
2
Surely you have heard about the administration of God's Grace
3
That was given to me for you,
That
is the Mystery made know to me by Revelation,
As I
have already written briefly.
4
In reading this them,
You
will be able to understand my insight into the Mystery of Christ,
5
Which was not made known to men in other generations
As it
has now been revealed by the Spirit
To
God's Holy Apostles and Prophets.
6
This Mystery is that through the Gospel
The
Gentiles are Heirs together with Israel,
Members
together of One Body,
And
sharers together in the Promise in Christ Jesus.
7
I became a servant of this Gospel by the Gift of God's Grace given me
Through
the working of His Power.
8
Although I am less than the least of all God's People,
This
Grace was given me:
To
Preach to the Gentiles the Unsearchable Riches of Christ,
9
And to make plain to everyone the administration of this Mystery,
Which
for Ages Past was kept Hidden in God,
Who
created all things.
10
His Intent was that now, through the Church,
THE
MANIFOLD WISDOM OF GOD SHOULD BE MADE KNOWN
TO THE
RULERS AND AUTHORITIES IN THE HEAVENLY REALMS,
11
According to His Eternal Purpose
Which
He accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord.
12
In Him and through Faith in Him
We may
approach God with Freedom and Confidence.
13
I ask you, therefore, not to be discouraged
Because
of My Sufferings for you,
Which
are for your Glory.
14
For this Reason I Kneel before the Father,
15
From Whom His Whole Family
In
Heaven and on Earth derives its name.
16
I Pray out of His Glorious Riches
He may
Strengthen you with Power
Through
His Spirit in your Inner Being,
17
So that Christ may dwell in your hearts through Faith.
And I
pray that you, being Rooted and Established in Love,
May
have Power, together with All The Saints,
To
Grasp how Wide and Long
And
High and Deep is the Love of Christ,
19
AND TO KNOW THIS LOVE THAT SURPASSES KNOWLEDGE--
THAT
YOU MAY BE FILLED
TO THE
MEASURE OF ALL THE FULLNESS OF GOD.
20
No to Him Who is able to do IMMEASURABLE MORE
Than
all we ask or Imagine,
ACCORDING
TO HIS POWER THAT IS AT WORK WITHIN US,
21
To Him be Glory in the Church and in Christ Jesus
Throughout
All generations, For Ever and Ever! Amen.
(Ephesians
3)
Let
us remember that we, who have been Born Again,
Have
been Imbued with the Supernatural Power of the Living God;
His
Spirit that lives within us--Christ In Us;
To
Know This Love That Surpasses Knowledge;
And
that God is in the Process
Of
Completing His Plan and Purpose on Earth
Of
which we are a part;
And
that, that Purpose is to Redeem All who are Willing,
Within
the Specific Time Frame God Ordained from the Beginning;
Six
Days, Six Thousand Years,
And
then, The Day of Rest, The Thousand Year Millennium;
The
Thousand Year Reign of Christ Jesus
In
Jerusalem, on Mount Zion.
Let us
remember that God is going to Wrap up TIME
Exactly
according to His Word;
All
that has been Prophesied, that remains Unfulfilled,
Will
be Fulfilled.
