07/11               Ephesians 1:19-20 

I also pray that you will understand the incredible greatness of God’s power for us who believe him. This is the same mighty power 20 that raised Christ from the dead and seated him in the place of honor at God’s right hand in the heavenly realms. 

VICTORY

He has displayed His victory in Jesus Christ.  He conquered death when He raised Him from the dead.  No longer do we have to dread death for Jesus has already conquered death for us.  Jesus, Jesus, Jesus-Just the mention of His name. 

07/10               Ephesians 1:18 

I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope he has given to those he called—his holy people who are his rich and glorious inheritance. 

WE

We belong to the Lord.  We are His and He is ours.  Today count your blessings and include His ownership of you in those blessings.  Jesus is Lord.  He is Lord of us.  He is Lord of all. 

07/09               Ephesians 1:15-17 

Ever since I first heard of your strong faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for God’s people everywhere, 16 I have not stopped thanking God for you. I pray for you constantly, 17 asking God, the glorious Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, to give you spiritual wisdom and insight so that you might grow in your knowledge of God. 

PRAY

We are called to pray for one another.  Lord help me to remember to pray for family, friends, co-workers, enemies, people I pass in the street, people I see driving and everyone that comes to my mind.  Help me Father to devote an adequate part of my time each day praying.  I need you Lord.  I need you desperately.  Thank you. 

07/08               Ephesians 1:14 

The Spirit is God’s guarantee that he will give us the inheritance he promised and that he has purchased us to be his own people. He did this so we would praise and glorify him. 

SPIRIT

The Spirit of the Lord-the Holy Spirit- is active and protective of our life.  He speaks to our heart.  He resounds in our mind.  The Holy Spirit connects us with the Father and guarantees to us that we will never be apart from the Lord.  He will never leave us or lose us.  He is our Father and desperately and wondrously loves us. 

07/07               Ephesians 1:12-13 

God’s purpose was that we Jews who were the first to trust in Christ would bring praise and glory to God. 13 And now you Gentiles have also heard the truth, the Good News that God saves you. And when you believed in Christ, he identified you as his own by giving you the Holy Spirit, whom he promised long ago. 

HIS

We belong to Jesus and thank the Lord we do.  He cares for each one of us.  We have a personal relationship with Him.  His forgiveness has cleansed our past and His grace covers our future.  Praise the Lord, Jesus is my King. 

07/06               Ephesians 1:11 

Furthermore, because we are united with Christ, we have received an inheritance from God, for he chose us in advance, and he makes everything work out according to his plan. 

SAFE

Thank you Father for our life.  Thank you that we are safe in Christ.  Thank you that we can know that you care and are here with us-you lived as we live and yet without sin and then died for us.  Thank you Lord.  We are so grateful. 

07/05               Ephesians 1:9-10 

God has now revealed to us his mysterious plan regarding Christ, a plan to fulfill his own good pleasure. 10 And this is the plan: At the right time he will bring everything together under the authority of Christ—everything in heaven and on earth. 

JESUS

Jesus is God’s everything.  He will do all things and in end receive all things.  He is Lord of creation and completion.  Follow Jesus and He will lead you in the way you should go.  Jesus will not desert you nor will He let you drift away from His way.  Lord God almighty hear our need and answer our prayers and we know that you will. 

07/04               Ephesians 1:6-8 

So we praise God for the glorious grace he has poured out on us who belong to his dear Son. 7 He is so rich in kindness and grace that he purchased our freedom with the blood of his Son and forgave our sins. 8 He has showered his kindness on us, along with all wisdom and understanding. 

PRAISE

GOD gives us showers of blessing with His grace.  It is poured out upon us lavishly because He loves us so much.  His love exceeds our ability to comprehend His devotion to us so He also lavishly gives us His wisdom and His understanding.  When you are facing difficulty of any kind ask the Lord and He will give you the wisdom and understanding you need to chart a course from problems to providence.  He will guide you and get you to where you need to go.  The only caveat is that you have to follow Him.  He will not push you if you refuse therefore seek Him with all your heart and He will draw near to you. 

07/03               Ephesians 1:4-5 

Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes. 5 God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure. 

PLAN

God has a plan.  It includes you.  It has been in place before the beginning of anything and Has always been the same.  HIS plan is that you will be saved by His grace, the Lord Jesus, and that it is always a free gift from God.  His love calls us.  His love attracts us.  His love will sustain us as He pours out His eternal grace upon us and brings us into His family from the moment we surrender our heart to Him.  God is love and He loves us. 

07/02               Ephesians 1:3 

All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ. 

EVERY

Everything we need we have in Jesus.  Once you come to Jesus you don’t need anything else because Jesus is God’s everything.  He is Lord overall and He is our Lord.  Jesus is our source and our resource.  Talk with Him now and every minute from now on.  Draw near to Him and He will draw near to you.
