Sister, a few years ago I was meditating on this scripture that says.....
Eph 3:20..
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,
I knew there was something I was missing, something I could not see, and then the Lord said to me, "
Get a piece of paper", so, I did and then the Lord said,
"at the bottom of this paper write Church teaching today". I did that, and then he said
, " right above were you wrote Church teaching write, your imagination". After I did that the Lord said,
"at the very top of the page write reality". Then the Lord told me to look at all the white empty space between the words
"reality", and the words
"your imagination" He said "all that white empty space is called
, exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think,
What the Lord God has done to us, and what he has given to us exceeds our wildest imaginations. We can not even come close to visual seeing these things in our natural human mind or imaginations. I don't know about you, but I have pretty wild imagination. I can think of some pretty big things. What the Lord has done, and given us is way to good to be true, but it is true, and that is why it is reality. How, and in what way did the Lord God do, and give us this exceeding abundantly above all we can ask or think things? The same verse tells us.....
Eph 3:20.. 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,
God used the
"power" that works in us. What is this power? The next verse tells us.......
Eph 3:21..
Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
This power is the the Glory of God!!!! Where is it's location?
Eph 3:21.. Unto him be glory
in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
This power is inside the Church!!! That is inside you and me, and all the body of Christ. Who gave us this Glory (power)?
Eph 3:21.. Unto him be glor
y in the church
by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
Jesus gave us this Glory. You can read about it in the Gospels. (John 17:21022) Is there any limits to this Glory? How far reaching is it?
Eph 3:21.. Unto him be glor
y in the church by Christ Jesus
throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
This Glory, and power goes throughout ALL ages. It is not subject to time or space as it is eternal. It is a world without end!!!
That's all fine and dandy, but how can I get this Glory, and power to be a benefit to me in my life today?
You are talking about your expectations when things don't look good, and you do not want to expect anything that might disappoint you. God never disappoints us if we do it his way, which is by faith.
2Cor 4:17.. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment,
worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;
2Cor 4:18..
While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
When going through trials, as we all do, we want the Lord God to bring about a change in our circumstances. The things that are seen with our physical eyes are only
"temporary", and they are subject to
"change" To change our circumstances we must
"look" at the things not seen. These things would be what we want to happen. They can be seen by faith. The only time God's
"eternal weight of Glory works" for us is when we are looking at our desires by faith. Our vision of the unseen is what causes God's Glory to produced our desired results. If all you see is the bad things, that are going to happen then that is what you will get. Don't do that.
