This is truly mind boggling stuff. He is so powerful that He can cause us to know the love of Christ that passes all knowledge and be filled with all the fullness of God! And that power is above what we can ask or even think! That’s incredible! No wonder He gets all the glory forever and ever!!
We don't know what to ask. Our minds don't even approach what we should be thinking. But God, who knows all, has the power that works in us to provide what He wants to accomplish in us. Makes me feel really small looking at it this way.
Father God, thank you for your new mercies every day, thank you for creating in me a willing and believing spirit to be victorious over sin but also make the necessary effort for my studies to graduate, binding myself to will and act upon making every effort to succeed in my current studies to become a primary school teacher, binding myself, my family, friends, colleagues, neighbours, acquitances, opponents and the body of Christ to the will to succeed in life while binding to hell all unwillingness to succeed in life, binding myself not being unequally yoked and having any common share with those not willing and believing me or oneself to succeed in my current studies or in life, in accordance with this word and ephesians 3:20-21, acts 17:28, john 10:10, 2 corinthians 6:14-18 in the name and blood of Jesus Christ, amen and hallelujah, glory and all gratitude to God!
Praise be to God 1 Jn 4:1 Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test to whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. Stay safe and God bless.
This is one of them. As solid as most of John Piper's teachings are most of the time, just like his buddy John MacArthur, he has managed to go pretty far off the path, lately.
Read the whole chapter. This is His revealed plan. After all my practices on campus I would make my way to the small prayer chapel in Benson Auditorium and say this prayer. Vs. 21 "To Him be glory in the church, in Christ Jesus, and thruout all generations forever and ever Amen." If you don't know how to pray. Start here. This prayer will never fail.
The Church is the first fruits (passover and pentecost) of the full harvest (tabernacles) to come in. It is His body empowered by the Spirit to demonstrate the height, depth, length and breadth of the Father's Love which goes beyond anything we can ask or think. The result of this is Apokastasis (renewal of all things) because that is the heart and will of God from the beginning - "Let us make mankind in our image." To God be the glory.
Much of Scripture and the New Testament would dispute that claim. Rom 11v32-36, 1Tim2V3-4, Colossians 1v15-20, Rom 5v12-21, Phillipians 2v9-11, 2Peter 3v9, Lamentations 3v22-33 amongst others. The issue with the doctrine of eternal conscious torment is that it distorts the character of God to the point where the Gospel is anything but Good News and causes people to be motivated by fear not by love. Grace and Peace Numbers 6v24-26.
Satan is a defeated foe. He roams the earth looking whom he may devour. Don't leave yourself vulnerable. I pray a Hedge if Protection around you that NO FOE can transgress. In Jesus' Mighty Name. Amen.
@@FisicoNuclearCuantico Yes he is. You are not. God does not see you in that way, no matter what you have done. Just keep your eyes on Him, because He definitely Sees you and Loves you more than any of us can comprehend. Many Blessings♡
