Big Healing Book - Ephesians 1:15-23

Ephesians 1:15-23:

Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints,
Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;
That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:
The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,
Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,
Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:
And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be head over all things to the church,
Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.

Notes on Ephesians 1:15-23:

You are seated with Christ in heavenly places (Ephesians 2:6), so it’s good to know where that is. According to this passage, it’s far above all principality, power, might and dominion! You outrank Satan and all his cohorts. That’s why it’s improper to point up at the devil when resisting him. He isn’t UP to you – he’s FAR DOWN!

Paul did not pray for people to get power. Anyone baptized with the Holy Spirit already has power (Acts 1:8). Paul prayed that the people with the power would get a revelation of the power they already had! That is a very worthwhile prayer for you to pray for yourself. You know it’s God’s will because it’s His Word, so He will definitely answer that prayer!

All things are under Jesus’ feet. He is the Head and we are the Body. Your feet are part of your body. Thus, all things are under OUR feet because we are part of Christ’s body. This means that Satan is under OUR feet. It also means that sickness is under OUR feet.

We can see God’s vision for His Church in this passage – Christ’s body. We are to be His “fullness.” In other words, what Jesus has, we have. We should act the way Jesus did and thus represent Him faithfully to the world. If we do not offer healing to the world the same way that Jesus did, we are not His fullness after all – we’re only His partiality! God’s destiny for us is to be like Jesus (Romans 8:29) – for His body to have the stature of the fullness of Christ (Ephesians 4:13).

While your English teacher may disagree, this Scripture passage proves that writing run-on sentences is not a sin.
