Ephesians 1:17–19 (ESV): 

that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, 

the Father of glory, 

may give you the Spirit of wisdom 

and of revelation in the knowledge of him, 

18 having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, 

that you may know what is the hope 

to which he has called you, 

what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, 

19 and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us 

who believe, 

according to the working of his great might

Take Away:

God the FATHER

Of my LORD JESUS

Wants to give me the SPIRIT of WISDOM

And the SPIRIT of REVELATION 

To KNOW HIM

wants to enlighten my heart

To know Hope

He CALLED me-I did not DO anything to get

Wants to give me an inheritance of glorious proportions 

And gives me immeasurable power

Because I believe 

According to his might which is ALL POWERFUL. 

All because he is the FATHER of GLORY…

it’s all for GLORY TO GOD!

Not about me.

Fear, anger, and resentment 

are your will operating in three different time zones. 

Fear is the feeling that 

you will not get your way in the future. 

Anger is the feeling that 

you are not getting your way now. 

Resentment is the feeling that 

you did not get your way in the past. 

These feelings are therefore based on selfishness 

(the need to get your wants fulfilled). 

Fear, anger, and resentment (resulting from selfishness) 

causes the need to escape the pain they create.

Give your life and will over to God,

His Will His Way and His Timing!

Joy

“My Joy…Your Joy”

These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full. JOHN 15:11

What was the joy that Jesus had? Joy should not be confused with happiness. In fact, it is an insult to Jesus Christ to use the word happiness in connection with Him. The joy of Jesus was His absolute self-surrender and self-sacrifice to His Father— the joy of doing that which the Father sent Him to do— “…who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross…” (Hebrews 12:2). “I delight to do Your will, O my God…” (Psalm 40:8). Jesus prayed that our joy might continue fulfilling itself until it becomes the same joy as His. Have I allowed Jesus Christ to introduce His joy to me?

Living a full and overflowing life does not rest in bodily health, in circumstances, nor even in seeing God’s work succeed, but in the perfect understanding of God, and in the same fellowship and oneness with Him that Jesus Himself enjoyed. But the first thing that will hinder this joy is the subtle irritability caused by giving too much thought to our circumstances. Jesus said, “…the cares of this world,…choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful” (Mark 4:19). And before we even realize what has happened, we are caught up in our cares. All that God has done for us is merely the threshold— He wants us to come to the place where we will be His witnesses and proclaim who Jesus is.

Have the right relationship with God, finding your joy there, and out of you “will flow rivers of living water” (John 7:38). Be a fountain through which Jesus can pour His “living water.” Stop being hypocritical and proud, aware only of yourself, and live “your life…hidden with Christ in God” (Colossians 3:3). A person who has the right relationship with God lives a life as natural as breathing wherever he goes. The lives that have been the greatest blessing to you are the lives of those people who themselves were unaware of having been a blessing.
