Page 116 - Ephesians

Just as really as someone else created your shoes, God has
already manufactured your day, before you wake up. It’s already
prepared. It’s already built, and already fore-ordained. All you
have to do is walk in it. You don’t have to manufacture
forgiveness, love, unity or generosity. It’s already been prepared
for you. And for each one of us it’s different.

We are responsible to walk. But, only, in the finished work. We
don’t have to do the work. We walk in an already finished work.
You see, the dread comes, when we think we have to make our
own path. We don’t have to create love in our hearts. No,
nothing could be further from the truth. God never called upon
Christians to create those things. That’s why they are called
“Fruit”, and not “Works”. It’s something God creates.

May I make a suggestion? In the morning, when you put your
shoes on, since your head is already bowed. Say, “Lord, as really
as these shoes have been prepared beforehand. I accept by faith,
all the good works You have prepared beforehand for me to walk
in”. You don’t need to be afraid of the word, “Walk”. The first
mention of the word “Walk”, tells you that everything has been
prepared. Now He says to walk. Well, that makes it easy. That
takes the “awful” away and makes it blessed. So, you don’t need
to be afraid of chapters 4-6. They are the outworking’s and fruit of
the first three chapters.

Studying EPHESIANS to Know God

Chapter 21 What is Maturity? 4:1-16

Chapters 4-6, describe the kind of life you will have if you enter
into 1-3. It’s a test, a quiz, an exam. If you read chapters 4-6,
and those things aren’t true in your life. Don’t try to make them
true! That’s the worst thing you can do. If they aren’t true in your
life, just understand you haven’t experienced the reality of your
riches in 1-3. Run back to the foundation. The more God burns
