The Relational Testimony Of Paul.
Scripture: Ephesians 1:10-11
Ephesians 1:10-11 says, “…that in the dispensation of the fullness of the times He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth—in Him. In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will…” What we see here is that the attribute of relationship becomes the meeting place of heaven and earth in Christ. Verses 10-11 fulfil the Lord’s Prayer, Jesus obtained covenantal access moving God’s Hand to change things for sons and daughters. In Christ the Blood-bought healing and restoration is through relationship. Healing is dispersed as the Spirit wills. The Holy Spirit guarantees the inheritance! Jesus only did what He saw the Father do and spoke what He heard. This is the fruit of relationship! Jesus bled so we could have the same relationship with the Father He had. This is revolutionary in our generation. Ephesians is the relational testimony of Paul. The early church experienced relational seminary with Jesus. They learned to wait on the Spirit. They had to wait in Jerusalem for power! They waited for a prayer language and fire—the prayer language preceded the fire! God ordained works for us to do and the key to unfolding them is praying in the Spirit. Gift nine seals our inheritance with the of empowerment of the seal the Holy Spirit! God defined power by a prayer language—tongues and fire. Pray in tongues and expect the power to change circumstances!
