Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love he predestined us for adoption to himself as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved.  In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace,  which he lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight  making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his purpose, which he set forth in Christ  as a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth. Ephesians 1, 3-10

God wants us to be extravagant in our confidence in Christ. I believe that he lives in us, everything that is his, he has given to his people.

I’m not going to downplay who Christ is in creation, but also who he is in our lives.

I believe in all of his promises for us. Nothing can take this confidence from us. This faith is yes corporate, but it is also very personnel.

The Father is not offended with us when we make these boastful claims about the Son of his love. We no longer are slaves in the destiny of Adam. We are now on the road to the promised land, and the captain of this vessel is Jesus, who has already attained all things for us in glory.

Jesus comes into our history, and begins the process of restoring us back home to the Fathers house.

We should always boast in this one who is what he says he is. If we choose not to believe these great truths, then its an assault to the works of his great grace and mercy.

We are nothing in ourselves, we never have been, we never will be, but in Christ we carry this cosmic warrior who has defeated every stronghold in the entire cosmos. Jesus Christ is victor over all things now.

Jesus is not waiting to rule the world, he is the king over creation now, but wait it gets even better, he desires to share this rule with his people, who are his chosen and elect, vessels of his great mercy and grace.

God wants us to be extravagant in our belief of who he is! We should always boast in this one, who has given everything for our redemption!

We are now clothed with the garments of his son. Through Christ we have also inherited all things. We live and move now in his heavenly garments of his high priesthood. When Jesus sits on the mercy seat next to his father, the father also sees us in the face of Jesus.

Who can now separate us from this position of privilege, which has always been ours in Christ. Nothing can, nor will ever dislodge one of his chosen vessels of his grace, thank you Lord Jesus!

Jesus gave up all in glory, just so he could have his people, and that’s a great big all! This is a big unfathomable love. How can we not adore this one who is so for us, and not against us.

I think Jesus would of stayed in hades with his people, rather than be apart from them, how crazy is this love.

The Lord went to the cross, into the very depths of death, and was not willing to go back to the father without his people. Father if you don’t take these, my brethren with me, then I am not willing to leave without them. Amazing grace how sweet the sound. Jesus sold all he had in glory so he could have us! Beyond amazing!!

The reason we were called is because Jesus saw us at the end of the journey in time. We are seated with him at the table of grace, in the coming age, which is about to be revealed. We are his because we have always been his.

The end of the journey in time just brings us back to the beginning, where we have always been in him before the foundation of the world.

When all the sons are safely home, then we will move on to all the ages of the ages the Father has prepared for his creation. Everything the father has given to the first born Son, we also inherent with him, wow what a destiny awaits us.

At the end we will all be back in the fathers house, together again, the way our father meant it to be.

Thank you dear Jesus!! What a hope, what a election, what a calling! In him all things were created.

The end of the journey in this life, is really just the beginning of the journey of the real life.

Seated at the table in fathers house! The end is the beginning, the beginning will never end? We were there in the beginning? We will be there again in the end.

What a great redemption, what a great saviour!
