PASSIONATE PURSUIT...ARE YOU ABOUNDING IN THE ABUNDANCE?

Ephesians 1:6-10
To the Praise of the glory of His grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.
In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;
Having made known unto us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself.
That in the dispensation of the fullness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in Heaven, and which are on earth, even in Him.

We have been accepted into the beloved because Jesus loved us that much! He has placed us on the potter’s wheel and shaped us into something that pleases him and continues to do. Remember, we have been purchased with a price, the blood of Jesus. He has redeemed us by the blood of the lamb. He has forgiven us according to his richness of grace, mercy, loving kindness. Repentance is precious in his sight. His mercy endures forever. There is no such thing as a little sin or big sin in the sight of God. There is no respector of person. Sin is sin and needs to be repented of in order to be received in the beloved. The Lord has forgiven us in advance. Therefore, in these last and evil days; do not allow the adversary to deceive you by bringing up the “old man”. What’s washed away is washed away. He said, your sins and transgressions I will remember no more. Do not allow the adversary to bring confusion of falsehood and have you separated from the love of Christ. Paul said he had been persuaded and would not let anything separate him from the love of Christ. Nothing! The Lord has forgiven all things and nailed it to the cross. Then he gave us access to his holiness. He gave it in abundance. It was his pleasure to do these things  for us! His abundance of grace has been granted to the believer with wisdom and prudence to endure times such as these. The grace says, I’ve cleanse you to walk in the newness of the Holy Spirit and with it the wisdom to apply his word daily to our lives so that we are always doing the works that please our father in Heaven. In the book f Revelation chapter 2 the Lord addressed the church at Ephesus stating, “I know thy works”. We get involved in a work but we don’t involve our hearts. Therefore, we get weary thinking it’s well-doing, but its not well-doing because our hearts drift not guarded and uninvolved therefore not fully submitted. You must see the finish line. Look to the open Heaven and see the throne of grace. See the treasures stored by faith, see that he has prepared a place. Without vision we perish in a work that becomes merely religion because we stop seeking, searching, and looking for the day of redemption. Behold…he said what manner of love the Lord has loved us and called us Sons and daughters. I have stored for thee wisdom and prudence in abundance, meaning more than enough to sustain us. Therein the Lord Jesus continues to make known the mystery of his will for our lives. He wants us to know him and to know his plan. He wants us to seek for His Spirit. To some it is comfortable doing “business-as-usual” instead of walking by faith. Therefore, he says to the faithful not to lose sight of the vision. Daily he is perfecting us by his holiness until he gathers one body to himself, those things in Christ Jesus that has been established on earth and in Heaven. The fullness of his plan will be fulfilled in us. The Lord is the author and the finisher of our faith. The work will be finished. He will redeem those he has purchased with his blood and cut short time in righteousness for his names’ sake.
Rom 9:28
For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth.
