SPIRITUAL FOUNDATION!

Ephesians 3:20
[20]Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,

OBSERVATION!

I ponder Ephesians 3:20 in wonderment of what Paul was saying to all who read it or hear it being read!

I received this cry from a brethren who had just received this posting https://romboughrobert.ca/2023/11/21/why-does-yeshua-intervene-when-you-turn-in-belief-pray-and-trust/

He texted, “but brother Life is so hard.” Another wrote “I am poor and without!”

My observation as God’s  Watchman (Ezekiel 33) is as follows for all those who claim their lives are so difficult, no matter where in this world you may live.

Paul explains in  Ephesians 3:7
[7]Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power.

My position as a Watchman (Ezekiel 33) is as a messenger, to bring Paul’s message to you as a warning so those receiving it have information to support their knowledge and increase their understanding so in using the wisdom garnered here you can make a choice  whether your life is hard or spiritually peaceful.

My observation is that it all comes down to your decision of what path you choose!

COMMENTARY!

In all my research, I have learned that the dream of those who desire peace is available to them if they choose wisely which path they will follow.

Paul, in the following verses, provides information all Gentiles require in order to discern and understand what is available for all to apply as choices in their lives of today’s Assemblies. Ephesians 3:5-6
[5]Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;
[6]That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:

For having preached the doctrine of truth, Paul was a prisoner, but a prisoner of Jesus Christ; the object of special protection and care, while thus suffering for Christ.

All the gracious offers of the gospel, and the joyful tidings it contains come from the rich grace of God; it is the great means by which the Spirit works grace in the souls of men.

The mystery, is that secret, hidden purpose of salvation through Christ. This was not so fully and clearly shown in the ages before Christ, as unto the prophets of the New Testament.

This was the great truth made known to Paul that God would call the Gentiles to salvation by faith in Christ. An effectual working of Divine power attends the gifts of Divine grace.

Ephesians 3:9
[9]And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:

Those whom God advances to honorable employments, he makes low in their own eyes; and where God gives grace to be humble, there he gives all other needful grace.

How highly he speaks of Jesus Christ; the unsearchable riches of Christ! Though many are not enriched with these riches; yet how great a favour to have them preached among us, and to have an offer of them! And if we are not enriched with them, it is our own fault.

Ephesians 3:16-17
[16]That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;
[17]That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,

This research has brought forward what awaits us when we bring all of our needs to God. It reveals and defines whether our position is of want or need and who our love is being displayed too. In revealing this knowledge, we are able to discern and understand why there is either peace or hardship in ones life.

We have been shown what it takes to obtain that peace,  strength from the Spirit of God in the inner man; strength in the soul; the strength of faith, to serve God, and to do our duty.

We are then able to discern as well. If the law of Christ is written in our hearts, and the love of Christ is shed abroad there, then Christ dwells there. Where his Spirit dwells, there he dwells.

It is through this indwelling that we come to know Yeshua’s peace and understand how this brings us into abiding with our Father in heaven and are able to abandon all of our expectations and attachments to the world. Psalms 91:1-2
[1]He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
[2]I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.

It is when we choose the heartfelt desires of the world, it is they which make us prisoners to the worlds wants and desires. Thus keeping us slaves to the belief our life is hard and we are poor; and have nothing to hope for because we are unable to obtain what the world offers as fulfillment. As well, that plagues and sickness are our lot, and this is our future and there is no answer but to suffer.

Your answer comes in the information Paul brings forward in Ephesians 3:18-19
[18]May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, length, depth, and height are,
[19]And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.

We should desire that good affections may be fixed in us. And how desirable to have a fixed sense of the love of God in Christ to our souls! There all will find spiritual peace health and Long life. Psalms 91:15-16
[15]He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.
[16]With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

Robert a humble obedient servant to Yeshua and his Father in heaven Yahewa. And all of God’s children say Amen and Amen.
