Ephesians.

I keep returning there. Again and again. The pages of my Bible have underlines, circles, boxes, notes, and highlights.

And then today, this.
We believe Ephesians was penned circa 60 to 63 AD (In the year of Our LORD). And of the Ephesians at the beginning of the Book, we read: To the saints in Ephesus, the faithful in Christ Jesus.

And following are chapters of exhortation. Deep, glorious, amazing, thrilling, filling, transforming words of exhortation!
Please be reminded here, Ephesians was penned 60-63 AD, we believe. 
And how were they addressed at that time?
Faithful! Faithful to The LORD JESUS!

Then there is the book of Revelation and a letter to the Ephesians, it’s chapter 2.
What are they then? In just 30-something years?
Who are they then?
What does CHRIST JESUS say to them?

I have one thing against you.

Brothers and Sisters, let us be aware!

I must take the Book of Ephesians to LIVE, if not Six of the Seven Letters of The Revelation may bear my name.

Ephesians.
I am confronted this morning by the Counsel of this Book, that lived out daily, I am guaranteed to not be ashamed when I see JESUS.
But that is not all. Additionally, I can now, today, live in sweet, unashamed fellowship with Him. Yes! Right now!

Prayers appreciated.

Musing

Leave a comment

My thoughts are saturated. The heaviness of it is uncomfortable. A dark shroud pressing down, close by and far away, across the street and from State to State.

We are deceived.

The enemy smirks, leaps with perverted glee, and we do not see.
But I do see.
What do I do with this candlelight of knowledge?
Put it under a bushel? Blow it out?

The prince and power of the air-he reigns. He owns the place, illegally now, but is still in possession. Held in his grip and sway – all the victims blind and deceived.

Hours and hours, days, months, and years – generation upon generation watches the screens. Screens with images he has prescribed and contrived to while away the time and paralyse the mind.
And he does.
The masses are convinced – no fault, no foul – it’s innocent, we are just amusing ourselves, children and adults alike.
Not so! Not so at all!
And then comes to mind, and now the lips ‘for every idle word we shall give an account’.  Matthew 12:36
Is it not fitting to believe this includes all that we see to watch?

Idle hands (and numbed minds) are indeed the devil at work. 

Musing: Deep in thought; contemplative.
Amusing: diverting

Father, it’s written now. I’d be honored if it is worthy of use to You, not to defeat and depress People, but to open hearts and minds to consider You, and that you are so very worthy of our time and devotion.

Wondering about Ears

Leave a comment

Here’s what I am thinking about this morning. 

Mark 4: 9 Then Jesus said, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”  LINK to source

Revelation 2: 7 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who overcomes, I will grant the right to eat from the tree of life in the Paradise of God.  LINK to source 

Here in Revelation 2 was not the first time John had heard JESUS say ‘he who has an ear let him hear.’
Does your sanctified imagination run like mine, wondering about the Apostles, hearing what JESUS said with their physical ears, and then, after He was gone back to Heaven, picturing Him in their minds and hearing the words He said again? I wonder if when John was on the Isle of Patmos and heard those words again, did he smile and think, ” I’ve heard You say that before. I wonder did hearing those words again give him even more confirmation that he was indeed speaking with The LORD JESUS. 
This I am not wondering about, I am fully confident that YESHUA was the best student ever! He studied Scripture from childhood and used it for strength, wisdom, and guidance all His earthly life as The GODMAN.  Who are we to not follow His Lead and study to show ourselves approved?  (2 Timothy 2:15)

Good morning, my Friends  ~~~ Holy hugs, Kathie
