Let's get into it. I continue to read from Ephesians the fourth chapter. Ephesians chapter four and

and I've been reading through the 12th verse. So Ephesians four chapter one through 12 and we've

been talking about a lot of things and so let's just start there reading it. Now you guys are

probably memorizing some of these passages of scripture which is fine with me but it says,

I therefore the prisoner of the Lord besiege you to walk worthy of the calling with which you

were called with all loneliness and gentleness with long suffering, bearing with one another in love

endeavoring to keep the unity of the spirit and the bond of peace. So there is one body and one

spirit just as you were called in one hope of your calling one Lord one faith one baptism one

God one father of all who is above all and through you all and in you all but to each one of us

grace was given according to the measure of Christ's gift therefore he says when he ascended on

high he led captivity captive and gave gifts to men. Now this he ascended what does it mean but

that he also first descended into the lower parts of the earth he who descended also is also the one

who us send it far above the heavens that he might feel all things and here we go and this is what

we've been getting into and it says and he himself gave some to be apostles some prophets some

evangelists some pastors and teachers for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry

for the edifying of the body of Christ let's pray. Father we thank you so much for the plans that

you have for us you make it infatically clear that you know the thoughts that you think towards us

you know the plans that you have for us good plans and not evil plans plans to prosper us and not

to harm us to give us a future and a hope God first and foremost we thank you for your character

we thank you that we have an incredible father who loves us who's for us who's got our back

who is factored in past present and future and says that the amalgamation of those things will

equate to good hallelujah so we thank you God that this is a good day and we thank you God that
