THE GREATEST DISPLAY OF GOD'S POWER

THE GREATEST DISPLAY OF GOD'S POWER

I read a little tract one day, long ago, written by a Greek scholar who was trying to get the word out to the public about the greatest display of God's mighty power ever shown to the onlooking spirits-- including Satan. Look at what I remember.

Ephesians 1:15 Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints, Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers; 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: 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, And what [is] the EXCEEDING GREATNESS OF HIS POWER TO US-WARD WHO BELIEVE, ACCORDING TO THE WORKING OF HIS MIGHTY POWER, Which he wrought in Christ, WHEN HE RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD, AND SET [HIM] AT HIS OWN RIGHT HAND IN THE HEAVENLY [PLACES], 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: AND HATH PUT ALL [THINGS] UNDER HIS FEET, AND GAVE HIM [TO BE] THE HEAD OVER ALL [THINGS] TO THE CHURCH, Which is h is body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.

Right now, after having pulled in the scriptures from the Bible, I am going back and EMPHASIZE some key words, as given by the tract writer. (I don't remember the name)

The words and phrases which are capitalized do, according to the Greek scholar, show a combination of words which, as he explained, demonstrate the greatest display of God's ability and strength ever given.

The resurrection of Jesus seems to be the central theme of the portion of scripture recorded by Paul in his letter to Ephesus.

When Jesus was raised, incorruptible, He was placed in a position of absolute authority over all spirits, governments, organizations, etc..

"IN HEAVENLY PLACES" is a key phrase. Watch for it later.

"FAR ABOVE" is a key phrase. Bear it in mind as you read further in the Ephesian letter.

EVERYTHING is beneath Him. EVERYTHING is subjected to Him. NO EXCEPTIONS.

When Paul wrote the letter, he did not put verse numbers nor chapter numbers in it. That has been done by men who attempted to make it easier for us to understand. God's Word can NEVER be understood by the MINDS of men. God's truths must be DISCERNED BY THE SPIRIT which He has given to us.

Ephesians 2:1 And you [hath he quickened], who were dead in trespasses and sins;

Here is the secret of the GREATEST DISPLAY, as recorded here. OUR SPIRITUAL AND PHYSICAL RESURRECTION WAS ACCOMPLISHED AT THE TIME JESUS CAME OUT OF THE GRAVE. It is a "done deal."

It is ours, if we will accept God's provision for the welfare of our soul in Jesus Christ. We could never pay for it, but it is ours for the asking if we will put our trust in Jesus Christ.

WOTTA DEAL!!!
