Ephesians Chapter 4 Discussion Page 7

The word of God lives forever

Oh so true my brother! As I always tell my children, Satan does not need much, just a little space to get a person to do his bidding. Let us all be watchful and pray without ceasing cause he 's out there, going about as a roaring lion,seeking whom he may devour, as St. Peter warned us. God Bless

Gotta let it go, Lord!I just don 't know how to handle

For I asked to be renewed in the Spirit of mind, and I prayed with faith and going from here..AMEN

God is one and beside him they is no other God. also Isaiah 9:6 , Father is one and that is God. The Father which is being said here is God, and that is Jesus. Genesis 3:15 war was promised by God him self. Matthew 1:16 born Jesus, who is called Christ. John 10:30 Jesus is equal with God. John 10:33 and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God. Luke 5:20 Jesus said, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee. Luke 5:21 Scribes and Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who can forgive sins, but God alone? 1 John 5:6 Father, Word and Holy Ghost : and these three are one.

I Believe that this word is self explainitory. One God and Father of all , who above all , and through all , and in all of us : That are born again : God is not the Father of the people that know not God.

Bless are those Who read and understand do the will of the good lord Christ Jesus.

So often it is forgotten how the point is Jesus showed us how to live our lives for 33 years , before suffering on the Cross for our sins .

Blessed are those who love Jesus and hear his voice for he is a good Shephered who is ready to lay down his life for us to be save and have eternal life in abundance. Praise and thanks God for everything he have done in our lives, thank him for the blood he shed for us. Jesus loves us unconditionally, we must obey and do what he says, we must always speak the truth and allow God to speak on behalf of us whenever we save and speak faith to our brothers and sisters. Jesus loves u

EPH 4-14...I think verses 29 is trying to show us how the positive power of the Holy Spirit can influence the average human that we might come in contact with in the course of a day, my dad gave me an example years ago, say, you are driving along and someone is trying to merge into your lane, by holing back and flagging that person to go ahead of you in most cases that person will go and show the same courtesy to someone else further up the road. Kindness has a way of replicating itself in most cases, but again evil does too. From any form of corrupt communications. But this scripture is trying to show us I believe is how by using good clean communications it works sort of in a way like using courtesy on the road, it opens a part of the mind that now is able to receive or the spirit to minister grace to the listener, and I believe it is when the person is in this state of being God is able to communicate with them in one form or another for what ever that person 's needs might be. Also I think we need to be conscience or aware when we are being moved by the Holy Spirit not to quench God 's Spirit by holding back or giving in whatever the case might be, and definitely not to show apathy or lack of concern for the Holy Spirit for this is GRIEVING the Holy Spirit. That 's one mans point of view. PRAISE OUR HOLY CREATOR AND HIS HOLY SON. AMEN!!

Israel, congratulations on listening to God 's Holy Spirit, i.e. recognizing what you said to your wife was not in harmony with a Christian life. Catching an error "after " it is done is the first step toward actually changing a behavior. With effort you will next catch the error "during " the making of it and later you will catch the error "before " making it. The growth of us humans is sometimes rather lengthy but it does occur as long as we continue to listen to God 's Holy Spirit and apply all we learn to ourselves...again congratulations!

Corrupt communication is anything that does not edify. Edify : exhort :with all longsuffering : Speak the truth in love : in the word of God. I believe that this scripture is a every day accurance and to be bathed in prayer for myself to do. The tongue can no man tame but with help of Holy Spirit I can. I praise God that He does not leave me alone to do what He says to do. I cannot do it by myself.

Very touchy to read how the words speak to each one of us..........Not by enticing words of man 's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power!! 1 Corinthians 2:4

EphesiaN 's 4 vs 32 I 've learned that if you forgive you live freely and at ease forgiveness makes your life simple and enjoyable

Am willing to learn more about ephisian

Living a more focused life, and lifestyle of forgiveness isn 't easy, but so worth it in the end.

George J LaHood Jr, Since you 're studying meditating on Ephesians 4 and specifically are interested in "communication " and what comes "out of the mouth ", I urge you to check out James 3:13, Luke 6:45 and Proverbs 10:10 because these parts of Scripture speak directly to communication.

ephesians 4:27 giving place to the devil, means giving him the power over you, and using it as a strong hold to deceive you, and direct your mind to do as he does evil.

I love read study and meditate on the Word of God! I especially am meditating on the last 4 verses of Ephesians 4!!! Let NO CORRUPT COMMUNICATION come out of YOUR MOUTH!!

Yes I totally agree with Alice Comment. Our Lord and Saviour is the Prince of Peace, therefore If we do have any wrath with someone I do believe it 's best to talk directly to that person and make peace. That will cause you to make peace in your heart,Because No you don 't want the sun to go down on your wrath, which could also mean go to sleep angry We don 't know what will happen the next day. And also don 't gossip about the matter with others, because that is a sin also.. Be Blessed in Jesus Name...

It is saying that we should control our anger because we can end up in a bad place like jail or prison and we will end up in a bad place

I feel the key word within this scripture is MALICE. Malice means an intent to do evil or ill will. Intent means to do premeditated. WE SHOULD NEVER DO EVIL IN A PREMEDITATED PLANNING.

Hello, this verse is very beautiful. I want to display it on my Whatsapp, but I 'm not sure if that is acceptable. Is it okay if I display the images that I like from this website? There are many quotes.

Obviously, He "ascended " from earth to heaven. So it 's only logical that He had first done the opposite descended from heaven to earth. He didn 't "ascend " FROM a different place than He had descented TO first. Hell was not part of either trip. It was to earth and back to heaven like the bottom of a ladder and the top.

Giving place to the Devil is like locking the front Door and leaving the keys in it.

Concerning Christian 's comment on 2 10 14 I had not looked at it that way before That is a good thought To reverence God is to have a wholesome healthy dread of displeasing God with a hatred for evil anger is evil sin is displeasing to God. Encouraged by your thought. Thanks . We should keep ourselves in the love of God To keep ourselves from the wicked one.

My understanding is we are losted because of the knowledge of God. It takes the whole body of Christ too function together, because God did not intend for us to exist without each other. God has formed us, filled us and now He wants to make us all as a body to function together. We need each other, therefore, we cannot disconnect our body from Christ.

THANKS

THIS IS THE MORE REASON WE ALWAYS HAVE TO COMMENT OUR WAYS UNTO GOD AT EVERY GIVEN TIME,SO THAT HIS MIGHTY HANDS WILL CONTROL US OVER ALL ANGER THAT GIVE BRITH TO SIN

May God bless all, I 'm learning
