Genesis 1:16 / Ephesians 2:10 - A Glory Prepared
Channel: Mark 4:11 / John 3:27 - Unto you it is given
Date: 2023-03-23

We examine how that which is physical is a manifestation of that which is first spiritual.  This is indeed a principle that the Lord establishes even from the beginning of creation.  We further discuss how we, as saints, also come to make manifest in the physical the Lord's spiritual will through our own ministry and service in the physical.  We then come to understand that in the physical, we actually walk in the spiritual things that God had already prepared for us to walk into.  In other words, during our earthly pilgrimage, we walk in the glory of works that were spiritually prepared beforehand for us by God, as did also our Master.  For we indeed ought to walk as He walked.

Ô Majestic Prince of Peace: how unsearchable indeed are Thy ways!  Magnificent.
Be blessed in the Name of YEHOSHUA HA'MASHIACH (Jesus Christ).
Allelu-YAH.  Amen.
