Phil continues our United series with the topic "His Fullness"

Send us a text"Your King Is Coming: End-Time Power, Prophecy & Spiritual Awakening"Are you truly ready for the return of Jesus Christ? The signs are becoming undeniable — especially in the Middle East, where biblical prophecy is unfolding right before our eyes. In this powerful and timely episode, we take you deep into both Scripture and current events, shining a light on the spiritual condition of the Church and the urgency of the hour.Centering on Ephesians 3:14–21, we unpack the astonishing truth that God is “able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us.” This is not just poetic language — it's a divine reality. Yet, far too many believers are living as though they are powerless, confined by broken church systems, manipulative relationships, and the subtle suffocation of cultural compromise.We examine how modern Christianity — especially in the UK — has been diluted. Entertainment, consumerism, and superficial social justice causes have replaced the bold, Spirit-filled gospel that once turned nations upside down. Instead of equipping spiritual warriors, many churches have produced believers who are more dependent on people than on God. This episode speaks to those who feel spiritually stuck, silenced, or dried out — and reminds them of the Holy Spirit power living inside.In a time where prophetic signs — particularly in Israel, Gaza, and across the nations — are converging at a rapid pace, the question remains: Do you know Jesus Christ personally, or are you simply attending church? Religion cannot save you — only a deep, intimate relationship with the King of kings can.You'll be challenged to:Break free from spiritual manipulation and human dependency.Surround yourself with faith-filled, Bible-believing community.Ignite the fire within you and stand boldly for Christ.Reclaim your calling in a generation that desperately needs truth.This episode also includes a communion service, inviting listeners to remember Christ's sacrifice and reflect on the redemptive power of His blood. Whether you're battling fear, facing manipulation, or just feeling spiritually dry — this conversation will reignite your spirit and awaken you to the unstoppable power of God working in you.This is not just a message — it's a call to rise up. These are the last days, and your King is coming. Will you be ready?Listen now — and step into your true identity as a radical, Spirit-filled follower of Jesus.Second coming of Jesus, end times prophecy, spiritual awakening, Ephesians 3:14-21, Middle East prophecy, Christian podcast, UK church decline, spiritual warfare, Holy Spirit power, Bible prophecy 2025, controlling relationships, false church systems, communion, Jesus is coming, gospel truth, revival, Israel news, Gaza conflict, Bible-believing Christianity, freedom in ChristSupport the showhttps://www.pastorbencooper.co.uk/https://www.rbchristianradio.net/ buymeacoffee.com/reverendbencooper

(This podcast was previously recorded and published on July 24, 2020)   Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...    Ephesians 3:20  Now unto HIM that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us.   I've often heard people ask, "What is that power that works in us?"     That "power" is the Holy Spirit given to the believer at the time God reveals HIMSELF to that believer.     The Holy Spirit in us is a great power:    * He teaches us all things.   * He reminds us of that which Jesus has said to us.     * He guides us into all truth.    * He shows us things to come.     (John 14:26 & John 16:13)   He usually leads us by bringing thoughts or concepts to our minds.    He searches the heart of God to show us the will of God in the specific issues of this life.    (I Corinthians 2)   

The Mystery of the Gospel seen in the imprisoned minister, and the people empowered by God's Gospel promise. They both point to the Church being key to God's plan of redemption.

Stevens focuses on Ephesians 3:13-21 as he centers on the transformative power of God's Spirit, urging listeners not to be discouraged by suffering, as it ultimately leads to glory…

Ephesians 3:14-1914 For this reason I kneel before the Father, 15 from whom every family[a] in heaven and on earth derives its name. 16 I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 18 may have power, together with all the Lord's holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, 19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

The limitless love of God takes us beyond what we can even ask or imagine. Explore the surprise, joy, and healing of embracing and extending this life-giving love. Ephesians 3:20-21.

Transformative Truth:  Divine love is revealed and expressed by Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Paul prays (1) That God might strengthen us with power through his Spirit in our inner being (Ephesians 3:6-17a) (2) That we might have power to grasp the limitless dimensions of the love of Christ (Ephesians 3:17b-19) Divine Love is revealed and expressed by Father, Son, and Holy Spirit First, to live with an ever-increasing awareness of Divine Love, Consider: Triune love Exists    Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.  Deuteronomy 6:4) The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.  2 Corinthians 13:14 WBC doctrinal statement He (God) is inexpressibly glorious in holiness, and worthy of all honor, confidence, and love. He eternally exists in three persons, who are equal in every divine perfection, and who execute distinct but harmonious roles in the work of creation, providence and redemption. Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love.  1 John 4:8  "It is common when speaking of the Divine happiness to say that God is infinitely happy in the enjoyment of Himself, in perfectly beholding and infinitely loving, and rejoicing in, His own essence and perfection..."  (Jonathan Edwards) And when Jesus was baptized, immediately he went up from the water, and behold, the heavens were opened to him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming to rest on him;  and behold, a voice from heaven said, "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased." Matthew 3:16-17 Second, to live with an ever-increasing awareness of Divine Love, Consider: Triune love is Expressed "His self-giving affection for his image-bearing creatures and his unselfish concern for their well-being, that leads him to act on their behalf and for their happiness and welfare "  The God who is love - is the Father who sends his Son.   For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly (Son) Romans 5:6 But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us (Father) Romans 5:8 And when he (the Holy Spirit) comes, he will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment.... (John 16:8 ) Jesus answered, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.  That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.  John 3:5  You were dead because of your sins and because your sinful nature was not yet cut away. Then God made you alive with Christ, for he forgave all our sins. He canceled the record of the charges against us and took it away by nailing it to the cross. Colossians 2:13-14, NLT Third, to live with an ever-increasing awareness of Divine Love, Consider: Triune love is Extended In other words, the shape of the Father-Son relationship (the headship) begins a gracious cascade, like a waterfall of love: as the Father is the lover and the head of the Son, so the Son goes out to be the lover and the head of the church. "As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you," the Son says (Jn 15:9). And therein lies the very goodness of the gospel: as the Father is the lover and the Son the beloved, so Christ becomes the lover and the church the beloved. That means that Christ loves the church first and foremost: his love is not a response, given only when the church loves him; his love comes first, and we only love him because he first loved us (1 John 4:19) Divine Love is revealed and expressed by Father, Son, and Holy Spirit

In Ephesians 3:14-21, Paul prays for spiritual strength and deeper understanding of God's boundless love. Join us, along with guest Charlie Swain, as we explore how embracing God's profound love unleashes spiritual strength and transforms our lives.

What does 'mystery' have to do with Paul's ministry? Does it mean that Paul's ministry is somehow mysterious? Does it mean that Paul's ministry is difficult to understand? Not at all! Rather, Paul had the privilege of proclaiming the glorious 'mystery of the gospel of Jesus Christ. But what does that mean? Join us for this episode of Proclaiming Christ as we consider Paul's ministry, the mystery of the gospel, the unsearchable riches of Christ, and what this means for the church today.

Ephesians 3 (NIV)

Ephesians 2:1-10 is a master text for understanding our need for salvation, God's gracious offer of salvation, and how to live out our salvation in deed and truth. Living out of a grace narrative rather than a moral performance narrative makes it possible to avoid religious judgmentalism and persevere with joy. Ephesians 2:1-3. Paul's description of humanity is startling and offensive but true. A quick glance at the last two weeks in the news easily confirms that we are broken. There's something wrong with us. By nature, we follow the ruler of the power of the air, living according to the passions of our flesh. We murder, rape, assault, steal, lie, and deceive each other. The Bible's diagnosis is that we are already dead. Our trespasses and sins have killed us. We who are spiritually dead cannot save ourselves. Ephesians 2:4-7. Because of his mercy and love, God makes the first move. Astoundingly, he looks at fallen humanity, mired in selfishness, despicable in character, hopelessly dysfunctional—he looks and says, “I want you!” By bringing us back to life in union with Christ and seating us in the heavenly places, he has saved us and given us a bright hope (Titus 3:3-7). If you have not yet believed in the gospel, today is the day. Don't say no to God's invitation to salvation! Ephesians 2:8-10. Salvation is God's free gift to you. He reaches down in grace, but you must reach up in faith. When you do, he pulls you out of the quicksand of sin and sets you on solid ground. Remembering who you were before Christ and how God saved you makes it possible to live out of a grace narrative rather than a moral performance narrative. God has prepared work for you to do. Are you doing it? If not, go to him in prayer and ask him to reveal what work he has for you to doThe post Ephesians 3: From Death to Life first appeared on Living Hope.

“Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.” (Ephesians 3:20 NLT) When my oldest son was a little boy, I would take him to Toys R Us. We would look around. I would tell him to pick out something for himself. He would look at the Star Wars figures. I would look at the X-Wing Fighter with the remote control, thinking that I would like to get it for him. The truth is that I wanted to play with it, too. He would pick out his little figure. Then I would say, “I was thinking of getting you something better than that.” He always went along with my idea. After a while, he started to learn something about Dad, which was that Dad liked to get presents for his kids. He came to realize that it was better to say, “I don’t know what to get, Dad. You choose it for me.” He came to realize that my choices were often better than what he chose for himself. Paul sends a similar message about our heavenly Father in Ephesians 3:20. The difference is that God’s generosity is perfect because God is perfect. He isn’t limited by resources. He isn’t swayed by moods, feelings, or impulses. He doesn’t have to guess at what might be meaningful or right for us. He designed us. He knows our code. He knows us better than we know ourselves. Sometimes that can be hard for us to accept. We don’t always recognize God’s perfect generosity because we allow misconceptions to warp our view of who He is and what He does. We fall for the lie that He’s a cosmic killjoy, always on the lookout for things that bring us joy so that He can put an end to them. And we compound the problem by being dazzled by temporary thrills—opportunities that have surface appeal but no real depth. Things that have no lasting value, that bring no sense of meaning, purpose, or fulfillment. Or, like my son, we’re content to settle for something small, something that pales in comparison to what we might have. Our enemy knows our tendencies and weaknesses and does everything in his power to exploit them. Look at his temptation of Jesus in the wilderness. He appealed to Jesus’ immediate physical needs. He offered fame and power. He wanted Jesus to settle for something less than the grand, glorious plan of God to redeem the world. And he does the same to us. He emphasizes flash over substance. He urges us to choose immediate gratification over long-term fulfillment. One of the many reasons God’s Word encourages us to become mature in our faith is so that we will recognize His generosity and respond with a spirit of gratitude. A mature faith understands that even though we have done nothing to earn God’s favor, He wants only what is ultimately best for us.

“I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong.” (Ephesians 3:16–17 NLT) Can you imagine going home tonight and getting ready to go to bed when, all of a sudden, you see someone walking up to your front door and knocking? Lo and behold, it is Jesus. How would you react? Of course, you know this isn’t going to happen. The Lord isn’t going to come bodily to your home and knock on the front door. But let your imagination run wild for a moment and pretend that He is. Jesus Himself is knocking at your door. Would you open it up and gladly welcome Him in? Or would you feel a little apprehensive? The fact is, you should be living your life in such a way that Jesus could walk into your home at any moment and be welcomed without embarrassment. Look at the apostle Paul’s words in Ephesians 3:16–17: “I pray that . . . Christ will make his home in your hearts” (NLT). He’s not talking about Christ simply living in your heart. The reality is that Christ lives in the heart of every believer. Paul’s point is that Christ should feel at home in your heart. This isn’t a temporary arrangement, the kind where you hide your mess until your company leaves. This is a permanent residency. Making Him feel welcome requires you to transform your life completely. But you don’t have to guess at how to do that. The Bible tells you how to live in a way that honors Christ—a way that makes Him feel at home in your heart. “I pray that your love will overflow more and more, and that you will keep on growing in knowledge and understanding. For I want you to understand what really matters, so that you may live pure and blameless lives until the day of Christ’s return” (Philippians 1:9–10 NLT). “Above all, you must live as citizens of heaven, conducting yourselves in a manner worthy of the Good News about Christ” (Philippians 1:27 NLT). “Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable” (Philippians 4:8 NLT). If we were talking about a human guest, these extensive preparations might seem like an inconvenience. But notice in Ephesians 3 what Paul says results from making Christ feel at home in your heart. “From his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit” (verse 16 NLT). “Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong” (verse 17 NLT). “You will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God” (verse 19 NLT). Jesus doesn’t want to feel at home in your heart because He’s a fussy guest. When you prepare your heart for Christ, you make yourself useful to God. You find fulfillment, challenge, motivation, strength, peace, and joy. And you experience what Jesus meant when he said, “My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life” (John 10:10 NLT).
