The Before and After picture. Paul's before picture: 1) We were spiritually dead; that is separated from God by sin. 2) We were walking according to the World; that is living like worldly people live. 3) We were under the control of the Devil 4) We were indulging our Flesh; that is our physical desires. 5) We were subject to the Wrath of God. BUT GOD, in His rich mercy and great love for us, has provided a cure for this picture. Paul's after picture: 1) We are spiritually Alive in Christ. 2) Seated together with Christ in heavenly places. 3) We are a living display of God's grace and kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.
I, Annelies Bakker, pray God almigthy that all these words of this scripture of Ephesians 2:1-7 come to light and become truth in my life from now on and at all times, in the name and blood of Jesus Christ: amen! Thank you God, hallelujah!
Praise God! for all the spiritual insights and revelation of who we are before surrendering our lives to Christ Jesus. Thank you, Ps. Paul for sharing these teachings with us. Blessings
I was praying to find explanation for ephesians 2 as a means to share need for salvation. Tx u pastor paul. May ur ministry continue to bring more people to Jesus
I needed to hear that last part .You basically stated what I finally had to do myself months ago and I feel like Gods given me the victory!!! Hearing this reminded me of what actually transpired because I had forgotten and wondered why things started to get easier, Thankyou
I am trying, I want to live my life for Christ and not for myself because he is worthy of it. He gave his life for me, and I know it isn't by works, but by what Jesus did. And all the Glory be to God ♡
Pastor Paul all the time you were going to church as a youngster know that the seed was being planted in you. I have come to be thankful for those early years “that I was not saved”. I thank my mother for introducing the structure and respect for church to my young self. Imagine not having that structure and not being saved, that would of been a disaster for my life. So thank you mom! Cause of you now I’m saved!
Thank you pastor Paul! These messages are such a blessing and I do hear them when I need to share with my small group. God bless you and your congregation
Praise the Lord for His perfect words, and how powerful you presented them. You hit the nail on the head, that was exactly how I was living before I accepted Jesus into my life. I'm now living the AFTER picture. Praise the Lord ❤
This dude is just a regular guy no fakery. There are men and women beautiful to some and not to others. But for real I like women with no makeup. If most think there ugly...for some reason I see beauty and much more. Its the soul inside alive with christ. That's beauty to me.
I wish there were more men like you William, although that did make me laugh Paul saying they would turn away women with no make up. He was just joking 🤣
I use to wear much makeup - and I currently wear none - I believe natural beauty is something that only God can really do I think that Everything God does is good or do I need to hide behind so much makeup to show who I am not - this is my own opinion! I might have done all the makeup because I was not happy with myself but after many years I truly believe I am loving life now!
We are seated now in heavenly places in the spirit. God is spirit, as is our created true nature. When we believe we are the flesh and the mind, we are separated. When we understand we are spirit, we are connected now in heavenly places with God, through Christ our Lord.
The comments about women wearing make up were very mean spirited. A woman can be seen as naturally beautiful with her God given appearance and her inner countenance. That was a terrible example of before and after.
