Resurrection Mission Baptist Church of Berkley, Michigan, Oakland County, https://resurrectionmission.com presents Pastor Joseph Chatten with an important and timely message based on Ephesians 1:15-25, with support from Ephesians 3:14-21. We begin with the story of rich newspaper publisher William Randolph Hearst, who was so rich in the world's goods that he could not even keep track of everything he possessed. The Christian life has two dimensions: faith in God and love for one another. See Colossians 1:9-12. We discover the blessings God wants His people to have; none of these blessings was material, but the emphasis was on spiritual perception and character. You are already rich in Christ Jesus. Are you aware what is in that bank book? Two facts: Enlightenment; it reveals to us wisdom and revelation, it is truth for us from God's Word. Isaiah 11:2; John 14:25-26; John 16:12; 1 Corinthians 2:9-16. The Holy Spirit gives wisdom and understanding to apply it. Ephesians 3:14-17. Second, enlightenment comes to the heart of the believer. Ephesians 1:18. The eyes of the heart, the inner man, has spiritual frailties that parallel the physical senses. John 3:3; Matthew 13:19; Hebrews 5:11; Psalm 34:8; 1 Peter 3:3; Philippians 4:18; 2 Corinthians 3:14; Acts 17:27. The people see not and hear not; they hear words but do not understand what they are hearing . Matthew 13:13. The eyes of the heart must be opened by the Spirit of God. Proverbs 4:1-7. Get wisdom, get understanding. Wisdom is the principle thing. Romans 1:18; Ephesians 16; John 17:3. To know Him is salvation. Philippians 3:10; 1 Corinthians 13:9-12; Genesis 1:26-28; Luke 10: 19-20.
