And His gifts were varied; He Himself appointed and

gave to us some to be apostles (special messengers),

some prophets (inspired preachers and expounders),

some evangelists (preachers of the Gospel, traveling

missionaries), some pastors (shepherds of His flock)

and teachers.

His intention was the perfecting and full equipping

of the saints (His consecrated people), that they should

do the work of ministering toward building up Christ’s

body (the church).

That it might develop until we all attain oneness in the faith

and in the faith and in the comprehension of the full and

accurate knowledge of the Son of God, that we might arrive

at real maturity and completeness which is nothing less

than the standard height of Christ’s own perfection, the

measure of the stature of the fullness of the Christ and the

completeness found in Him.

So that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro

between chance gusts of teaching and wavering with every

changing wind of doctrine, the prey of cunning and

cleverness of unscrupulous men, in every shifting form

of trickery in inventing errors to mislead.

Rather, let our lives lovingly express truth. Enfolded

in love, let us grow up in every way and in all things into

Him Who is the Head, Christ.

For because of Him the whole body, the church, in all

its various parts, closely joined and firmly knit together

by the joints and ligaments with which it is supplied, when

each part is working properly, grows to full maturity,

building itself up in love.

(Ephesians 4.11-16).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

ANTICIPATION

ANTICIPATION

No man has at any time yet

seen God. But if we love one

another, God resides in us

and His love is brought to

its full maturity in us.

(I. John 4.12)

EXTRAORDINARY RESCUE

Friday, October 30th, 2009

Therefore, since we are justified

( acquitted, declared righteous,

and given a right standing with

God) through faith, let us grasp

the fact that we have the peace

of reconciliation to hold and to enjoy

peace with God through our Lord

Jesus Christ the Messiah, the

Anointed One.

Through Him also we have received

our access ( entrance, introduction)

by faith into His grace (state of God’s

favor) in which we (firmly and safely)

stand. And let us rejoice and exult in

our hope of experiencing and enjoying

the glory of God.

Moreover let us also be full of joy now!

Let us exult and triumph in our troubles

and enjoy in our sufferings, knowing that

pressure and affliction and hardship

produce patient and unswerving

endurance.

And endurance (fortitude) develops

maturity of character (approved faith

and tried integrity).

And character (of this sort) produces

(the habit of) joyful and confident hope

of eternal salvation.

Such hope never disappoints, deludes

or shames us, for God’s love has been

poured out in our hearts through the

Holy Spirit Who has been given to us.

(Romans 5.1-5).

AMEN! HALLELUJAH!

THANK YOU LORD JESUS!
