PASSIONATE PURSUIT...AFTER I HEARD OF YOUR FAITH

Ephesians 1:11-16
In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worked all things after the counsel of his own will:
That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,
Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all saints, cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;
Greeting in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Grace, mercy and truth be multiplied unto yo his faithful saints. As we seek after the spirit of God and hold fast to the truth in the faith, Let us stand in the understanding of spiritual things that we know the Lord’s will and that he has prepared in inheritance for us in Him. He has ordained promises for us before the foundations of the world began. We are predestined with purpose and that purpose is in Christ according to his own glory and will. We must remember that when we are going through tests and trials that the Lord is allowing them to purify is like gold, that we may know him and walk in the unity of His Spirit. Remember when we first trusted him, He changes not. When Jesus Christ encountered us and revealed his Spirit to us, we trusted his word of truth. The He sealed us with his promise. These promised don’t go away because of circumstance. His word remains the same, whether we have a season that seems that we are in the mountains or whether we have a season that has us feel as though we are in the valley. Remember to keep covenant. Keep trusting his word. His spirit is there and passes all understanding. He will lead and guide us in the paths of all truths and righteousness. Because of His Spirit we are glorified with him. It is the pledge of our redemption and reason for all praise. The faith and testimony reveal to us through other believers helps motivate and help us to stand on our most holy faith. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of the Lord. Because of the testimony of Jesus, we have the spirit of prophesy and  we are all encouraged to endure hardness as good soldiers, stay the course, and finish the race. #believeonly #praisehim #watchandpray #confessyourfaults #encourage
