Ephesians 3:1-7

“When I think of all this, I, Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus for the benefit of you Gentiles 2 assuming, by the way, that you know God gave me the special responsibility of extending his grace to you Gentiles. 3 As I briefly wrote earlier, God himself revealed his mysterious plan to me. 4 As you read what I have written, you will understand my insight into this plan regarding Christ. 5 God did not reveal it to previous generations, but now by his Spirit, he has revealed it to his holy apostles and prophets.

6 And this is God’s plan: Both Gentiles and Jews who believe the Good News share equally in the riches inherited by God’s children. Both are part of the same body, and both enjoy the promise of blessings because they belong to Christ Jesus. 7 By God’s grace and mighty power, I have been given the privilege of serving him by spreading this Good News.”

Paul goes on to say he is a prisoner of Christ Jesus.  God has given him a special ministry, a special stewardship, trust, and commitment has been given.  God has opened his mind in a special way so He could see and understand things in a way others couldn’t.  He was shown these things so he would then devote his life to accomplish them according to his Master’s desires.
Paul had the task of telling the secret plan to the Jews and the Gentiles.  Letting them know they were one, both equal shareholders in the Kingdom of God, as children of God.
Being chosen to spread the Good News and the things the Lord reveals to you is a high honor, a privilege, even being His servant is a high privilege.

I feel the same as Paul.  I 100% identify with what he is going through and has gone through.  I feel a special call on my life.  I feel the Lord revealed a special ministry to me. I have been granted a gift by God to discern.  I can touch, feel, and see the demons, the demonic world.  I literally can feel the presence of demons as they work in their darkness and I can expose them.  Since God has given me this special ministry, I now can discern or figure out problems in people’s lives.  I feel the discernment for Family, to help marriages, families, young adults, teens, and children.  I want to bring families back together and show them that through Christ, they can have the life they so desire.

Once the demons reveal themselves, which I will say happens pretty quickly, then the Lord tells/shows me what and how they can be overcome.  It all starts with having a true, saving relationship with Christ, being reborn. Then the next steps are demon-cleaning steps, get them out and keep them out.  We do this through the Word of God, by living it and obeying it because if we don’t the demons will come right back in and your life is then a merry-go-round, round and round, and up and down, with no change, no peace, and your life is still miserable, stressful, and full of all the problems your demons wants for you.

Ephesians 3:8-13

“Though I am the least deserving of all God’s people, he graciously gave me the privilege of telling the Gentiles about the endless treasures available to them in Christ. 9 I was chosen to explain to everyone[a] this mysterious plan that God, the Creator of all things, had kept secret from the beginning.

10 God’s purpose in all this was to use the church to display his wisdom in its rich variety to all the unseen rulers and authorities in the heavenly places. 11 This was his eternal plan, which he carried out through Christ Jesus our Lord.

12 Because of Christ and our faith in him,[b] we can now come boldly and confidently into God’s presence. 13 So please don’t lose heart because of my trials here. I am suffering for you, so you should feel honored.”

Paul thinks he is the most undeserving person there is, but I actually I feel I am, considering my past.  That’s where God’s wisdom, grace, and all-knowing power shines. He can take someone like me and gift me with such a blessing that I have the privilege of seeing.  He opened the curtains, pulled back the blinders and allows me, a lowly worthless sinner to see how Satan works.  He gives me the honor of showing people, helping people, casting Satan out, and leading people back to Christ, our Savior.  He can save you and fill you with His Spirit so He can do a good work in and through you. Wow!!!!  What an honor and privilege to be chosen to go into the world and basically demon hunt.

It’s so awesome that we all can come to God fearlessly.  We can just start talking to Him and ask Him for help.

We can have Him with us wherever, doing whatever and He is there listening, hearing our cries, and blessing us with our heart’s desires.  So if this is not your life then you need a hard reset, a do-over.  That is why he spoke of being reborn.

We should feel as Paul does the overwhelming sense to want to fall to our knees and pray. Pray for thankfulness, grateful that we were a part of God’s secret plan all along. We should be thankful God gave us the freedom to ask of His Holy Spirit to dwell in us, which will if we let it/  It will get us closer to the Lord.  God’s love is so massive and it’s everywhere.  There should never be a time we don’t have it, feel it, or desire it.  We as Christians whether Jew or Gentile, are gifted into His all-loving family that comes with the privilege of resting in His grace.  We can rest in Him and allow our roots to grow deep down into His holiness. That it will fill us with His righteousness and hope it will fill us with His living water, so we can continue to grow and mature in Him.  His wisdom and knowledge will fill us so we can grow closer and closer, wiser and wiser, more submissive and more submissive which is God’s ultimate plan for us.
