A chapter by chapter and verse by verse study Ephesians taught by Pastor Paul LeBoutillier of Calvary Chapel Ontario, Oregon. Visit us at www.ccontario.com for online studies through the entire Bible.
What a great idea to use the word of Apostle Paul to pray for others. I have struggled in this area. So I scripted this prayer from Ephesians and Colossians verses for me to use when praying for others. “Lord I pray that ________ be filled with the knowledge of your will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so as to walk in a manner worthy of you Lord, fully pleasing to you, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of you. May______be strengthened with all power, according to your glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy. Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may you give ________a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of you. Enlighten the eyes of their heart, that they may know what is the hope to which you have called them, in the riches of your glorious inheritance. “
Our inheritance in Christ will also manifest in the natural because we will literally rule and reign with him on earth over literal physical nations during His 1000 years reign . Powerful teaching i'm really blessed by this, Holy Spirit help me to draw on all you have available for me in Christ Jesus.
God bless you for the beauty and rhema you share in the Living word of God. I bless the day I stumbled on your bible study lessons. May the Good Lord keep you in health and wealth while you keep enriching his kingdom in Jesus name.

I am an ELCA Lutheran from South Carolina. Today (November 3, All Saints' Sunday), this was our New Testament Lesson (or Epistle) of the Day. And let us give thanks to those who have gone before us.
In accordance with this sermon I, Annelies Bakker, ask God almigthy that all his words become truth in my life from now on, in the name and blood of Jesus Christ, amen: Ephesians 1:11-23 King James Version (KJV) 11 In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will: 12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. 13 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 that holy Spirit of promise, 14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory. 15 Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints, 16 Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers; 17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: 18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, 19 And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, 20 Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, 21 Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: 22 And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, 23 Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.
Its funny how you said your first video didn’t explain the predestination aspect well. I made a note about it from the first video. It was the first time I feel I ‘got it’. Thank you!!
When you forgive others ( by the power and the grace of God helping you to forgive ), then you will be automatically liberated from your own problems. That is the blessing that God gives to us when we obey Him. When we help others solve their problems, our problems will automatically be solved. Why? Because our mind, our heart are elevated with joy, with pure thoughts, with humility abiding in God's Word and Grace that have anointing. Keep studying the Word of God with passion, keep praying and have good relationship with God. Then one day, your heart and your mind will be miraculously transformed by God. God bless you.
when you said the words from verus 11 . after the counsel of his will...lol i in my minds eye i seen him walking back and forth talking to himself saying this is my will and this how it is going to be done .. lol
Who does he chose? Those who chose him. And it was known from the foundation of the world. It's a relationship. A man sees a woman and goes to get to impress her. If impressed, she will choose him and he will choose her to be his wife. Likewise, God sees the world and presents himself as good and loving, some of us choose him because we are impressed with his offering. And he chooses us as his wife with every good spiritual gift. It's a live relationship. We grow in love for what he did for us and choose his way.
The Israelites were God's first "Chosen" people, who were told to be a light to the Gentiles. The Jews felt they were the only "Elect" (Limited Atonement) They were upset at Paul for preaching that the Gentiles have been grafted into the Promise (Mystery of the Gospel). Rom 1:16; Romans 11:24-26; Romans 16:24-26
Isn’t the mark of the beast something we have to take to buy and sell? Wouldn’t that mark be the system, tracking spending and monies. Like a credit card?
