Most Christians have read apostle Paul's letters dozens of times and walked away unchanged. Not because the letters lack power - but because the revelation inside them has never been fully unlocked.
Did you know apostle Paul's letters in your Bible are not arranged in the order he wrote them?
They are organized by length, not by date. And when you read them in the order apostle Paul actually wrote them, something remarkable happens.
A completely different picture emerges - not just of Paul, but of what Christ accomplished and what that means for you right now.
Today we are going through every letter apostle Paul wrote and pulling out the legal, covenant, and new creation realities that transform the believer's identity, authority, and daily walk.
In this teaching we cover every major letter apostle Paul wrote- in chronological order- through the three greatest works:
1. New Creation Realities,
2. What Happened from the Cross to the Throne,
and 3. What We Are in Christ.
What you'll discover:
- • Why the four Gospels could never reveal what Paul reveals. What actually happened between the cross and the throne .
- • Why Paul's letters are not in order in your Bible and what changes when you read them chronologically
- • What Paul was saying in Galatians, Thessalonians, Corinthians, Romans, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, Timothy, Titus, Philemon, and Hebrews
- • Why righteousness is the key word in every Pauline epistle - The defeated Satan - what the enemy knows that you don't - Why sons don't beg - Paul's revelation about prayer
- Justification by faith, grace alone, and what it actually means for your daily life. The mystery of the church and the supremacy of Christ in Colossians - Paul's final words from a Roman prison and what they reveal about covenant joy - The single revelation that ties every letter together
This is not a Bible survey. This is the Pauline revelation unlocked through the teacher who spent his life uncovering it.
Whether you are doing personal Bible study, small group lessons, or searching for a deeper understanding of the New Testament, this teaching will transform how you read every letter Paul ever wrote.
No longer will these be disconnected books on a shelf. They will become a living revelation of who you are in Christ, what you carry, and what the enemy has been hoping you never discover.
Key Scriptures:
2 Corinthians 5:17,21 ¹⁷ Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! ²¹ God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
Ephesians 1:3,18-20 ³ Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. ¹⁸ I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, ¹⁹ and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength ²⁰ he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms,
Ephesians 2:6 And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus,
Colossians 1:13,27 ¹³ For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, ²⁷ To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
Colossians 2:9-10,15 ⁹ For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, ¹⁰ and in Christ you have been brought to fullness. He is the head over every power and authority. ¹⁵ And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.
Romans 8:11 And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of His Spirit who lives in you.
Galatians 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
Philippians 4:13,19 ¹³ I can do all this through him who gives me strength. ¹⁹And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.
Hebrews 1:3 The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.
Hebrews 4:14-16 Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has ascended into heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin. Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
Revelation 12:11 They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.
Every Revelation in Paul's letter explained.
There is a question that has haunted sincere believers for 2,000 years. Why does the Christian life so often feel like a struggle when the New Testament declares it to be a victory?
Why do believers who love God, attend church faithfully and pray consistently still live in weakness, in fear, in sickness, in doubt, in defeat?
Wny is There Such A Vast distance between what the Bible promises and what most Christians Actually Ехрегiепсе ?
And The Answer We Found Was Not In Bettler Preaching, Not In More Emotional Worship not in longe lists.
The answer was Was Found in 13 Letters Written By One Man , The Apostle Paul, Whose Revelation Of What Christ Accomplished Between The Cross✞ And The Throne 👑Has Never Been Fully Unpacked By Any Generation Of The Church.
Until you understand what apostle Paul was given and what he was trying to tell, you will read your Bible and remain unchanged. You will pray and And Remain Powerless.
You will believe and remain defeated because the missing piece is not faith. The missing piece is revelation. And revelation comes through understanding the Pauline epistles the way the Holy Spirit reveals to your spirit.
¶Note : "The Pauline epistles must ever stand as the work of a super genius or a divine revelation. There is no middle ground."
And once you see what Paul was actually saying, once the layers of religious tradition and (five) sense knowledge interpretation are removed from these letters, everything changes.
Your prayer life changes.
Your authority changes.
Your identity changes.
Your relationship with sickness, with fear, with condemnation, and with the enemy changes completely.
New creation realities, what happened from the cross ✟ to the throne 👑 and the Bible in the light of our redemption.
Complete unpacking of what apostle Paul was given and what he was trying to communicate. And today we are going to go through every major letter apostle Paul wrote in the order he wrote them.
Not as theology to be studied, but as living reality to be entered into.
But before we open a single letter, we must understand something absolutely foundational.
We must understand why apostle Paul's letters exist at all. And why they contain truths that the four gospels could never reveal.
Because here is something most believers have never been told. The four gospel writers, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, saw everything. They witnessed the miracles. They heard the teaching. They stood at the cross. They encountered the risen Christ. They watched the ascension. And not one of them understood what he was actually doing.
When they stood around the cross watching Jesus die, not one of them knew he was dying as their substitute. Not one knew what happened to his spirit during those three days and three nights. Not one understood what the resurrection meant legally. They were staggered by the resurrection, mystified by the 40 days before the ascension, and entirely ignorant of what it all meant for them.
And here is the remarkable literary miracle identified. Luke was apostle Paul's companion for 18 years. Mark traveled with apostle Paul. John lived for more than 70 years after the ascension and must have known the Pauline revelation.
Yet in none of their gospels is there a single sentence indicating they knew what Christ had actually accomplished.
The Holy Spirit shut them in. He only allowed them to record what he wanted recorded. The life, ministry, death, and resurrection of the man, Jesus Christ.
The deeper revelation, the inner secret of God's mighty purpose in the incarnation was reserved for one man. A man who had never walked with Jesus during his earth ministry. A man who was in fact persecuting the church when the Damascus road encounter changed everything. The Apostle Paul.
Apostle Paul received a revelation that none of the twelve apostles received. A direct supernatural complete unveiling of what happened from the cross to the throne and what that means for every person who is born again.
There has been far too little growth in the knowledge of the Pauline revelation since Martin Luther, John Calvin, and the John Wesley's.
These men gave us tremendous things, but they did not have the whole picture.
And today we are going to go through every major letter apostle Paul wrote in the order he wrote them. Not as theology to be studied, but as living reality to be entered into.
And today we begin to unpack it letter by letter, revelation by revelation.
To understand apostle Paul's letters, you first must understand what Paul was given. What Happened from the Cross ✞ to the Throne 👑, to this single subject, the most overlooked, most ignored, and most transformative period in all of human and cosmic history. The three days and three nights between the cross and the resurrection.
When Jesus went to the cross, something happened that no natural mind can fully grasp.
2 Corinthians 5:21 declares it.
Him who knew no sin, God made to become sin, not sin reckoned to him, not sin attributed to him. He was made to become sin. And we must careful with this distinction. The sin offering under the old covenant had sin reckoned to it.
Christ did not have sin reckoned to him.
He became sin. His spirit received the very nature of the adversary. He became the substitute for the entire human race. And in that moment, he who had never known the separation from the Father that every fallen human being carries, bore it completely for everyone.
He went to Hades. He suffered there as the substitute for fallen human until every demand of justice was satisfied.
Psalm 88. My soul is full of troubles. My soul has arrived at Sheol, the kingdom of death. I am become a man without God. In the lowest pit, the pit of dense darkness.
These are not the words of defeat. These are the words of a substitute paying a debt that was not his own. And then when the price was fully paid, when justice was fully satisfied, something happened that heaven had never witnessed before.
God justified his son in spirit. 1 Timothy 3:16 declares it. He was justified in spirit. He was the first person who was ever born again.
Acts 13 confirms it. This day have I begotten thee. And then Colossians 2:15.
The verse returned to again and again. Having put off from himself the principalities and the powers, he made a show of them openly, publicly, triumphing over them. He hurled back the hosts of darkness. Hebrews 2:14 in Rotherham's translation declares it with stunning force. He paralyzed the deathdeing power of Satan. He paralyzed him. He broke him. He stripped him of his authority.
He took the keys of death and of Hades.
This was an eternal victory. Satan was eternally broken, eternally conquered. Not temporarily, but eternally. The battle is not ongoing.
The battle is finished.
Then he arose from the dead as the Lord high priest of the new covenant. He carried his own blood, not the blood of bulls and goats, but his own blood into the heavenly holy of holies.
Hebrews 9:12.
With his own blood, he entered in once for all into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption. The Supreme Court of the universe accepted the blood.
The seal of man's eternal redemption was established.
Jesus Christ then went to paradise and proclaimed to the waiting Old Testament saints the fulfillment of every promisory note the high priest had offered for 1,500 years.
He led captivity captive. And when he ascended from Mount Olivet, the cloud that received him out of their sight was those Old Testament saints Abraham, Moses, David, Isaiah, every person who had trusted in the promise being taken to the Father's house. Then he sat down at the right hand of the majesty on high.
The work was finished. The redemption was eternal. And all that he accomplished became the legal inheritance of every person who would ever be born again.
This is what apostle Paul was given. This is the revelation that the Damascus road encounter deposited into one man. And this the full weight of what happened from the cross ✟ to the throne crown 👑 is what every single one of apostle Paul's 13 letters is trying to communicate.
When you read Paul without this foundation, you read words. When you read apostle Paul with this foundation, you read living reality.
Now we go to the letters themselves in the order apostle Paul wrote them.
Starting not with Romans as most people assume, but with the letter Paul wrote first. First Thessalonians.
Apostle Paul's first letters were not Romans. They were not Ephesians. The chronologically first letter Paul wrote was First Thessalonians written approximately 17 years after his Damascus road encounter.
17 years of carrying this revelation before the first word of the New Testament was committed to paper. The early church that turned the Roman Empire upside down did all of it without a written New Testament. They carried the spoken word. They lived the revelation.
And when apostle Paul finally wrote it down, he was not writing theology.
He was writing lived reality. First Thessalonians establishes the foundation that everything else apostle Paul writes depends upon. 1 Thessalonians 5:23, "The God of peace Himself sanctify you wholly spirit and soul and body." Three parts, three distinct dimensions. Because until you understand that you are a spirit and that you have a soul which is your mind and emotions and that you live in a body, until you understand which dimension was recreated at the new birth and which still require renewal, you will spend your entire Christian life trying to fix the wrong part of yourself.
At the new birth, your spirit was recreated, not improved, not cleaned up, recreated. It received the very nature and life of God. It became the righteousness of God in Christ. It became one with the spirit of Christ. It received eternal life, the Greek word Zoe, meaning God's very substance and being.
But here is what most teachers never tell the new convert. The mind was not recreated. The body was not recreated. The spirit is recreated.
But the mind that has held your spirit in captivity is the same old mind. It receives a mighty impetus when the spirit receives eternal life. But that is all. And this is the source of almost all spiritual defeat.
A recreated spirit trying to express itself through an unrenewed mind produces confusion, inconsistency, weakness, and eventually despair.
The believer has all the resources of God in his spirit. But a mind that still thinks like the old creation. Until that mind is renewed through the word, through sustained deliberate daily immersion in what God says about who you are, the wealth in the spirit cannot flow into the daily life.
Romans 12: Be not conformed to this world, but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind.
The transformation most believers are waiting for externally is waiting on them internally. It is waiting on a mind that has been daily consistently renewed until it agrees with what the spirit already knows.
Second Thessalonians then deepens this with a specific warning. Someone had told the Thessalonian church that the day of the Lord had already come. They had been shaken from their foundation by a single false teaching.
And apostle Paul's response was not long theological argument. It was a call to hold the confession, stand fast, hold the traditions which ye have been taught.
This is one of the most important spiritual disciplines. Holding fast to what the Word declares about you, regardless of what your circumstances, your feelings, or other voices declare. The enemy's primary strategy in every generation is not direct attack. It is confusion about identity. And the answer is always the same. Go back to the Word. Stand in what you know. Hold the confession.
The Thessalonian letters together give us two non-negotiable foundations that every other Pauline letter builds upon.
First, you are a spirit. Your spirit has been recreated. Your mind must be renewed to agree with what your spirit already is. And until that renewal happens daily and deliberately, the recreated spirit cannot lead.
Second, when false teaching comes, when circumstances shake you, when the sense world screams that what you believe is not real, you hold the confession. You do not re-examine the foundation, you stand on it. This is not stubbornness.
This is the most rational response available to a believer who understands that the Word of God is more reliable than any sense report from your five senses.
Revelation Knowledge versus Sense Knowledge.
Because what Paul gave the Thessalonians and what these two letters give us is the starting point of everything.
You are a new creation.
Your spirit is alive with God.
Your mind must catch up. And you hold that truth without wavering until the whole man, spirit, soul, and body, is living from the inside out.
Now, we move to the most dramatic and most misunderstood of alI Paul's letters.
First and 2 Corinthians. The church at Corinth had power. They had gifts of the spirit operating in their midst. They had supernatural manifestations. They had things happening in their services that most modern churches have never witnessed. And they were a complete spiritual disaster. Division, immorality, lawsuits between believers, abuse of the Lord's table, confusion about the resurrection, and Paul's diagnosis of every one of these problems is contained in three words from 1 Corinthians 3.
Walking as mere men:
1. not walking as new creations,
2. not walking as sons and daughters of God carrying His very nature,
3. walking as mere natural men governed entirely by the senses.
And this is the central tragedy of the modern church as well. Not that believers lack what they need, that they have it and live as though they do not.
1 Corinthians 1:30 is the answer apostle Paul gives. Of him are ye in Christ Jesus who was made unto us wisdom from God and righteousness and sanctification and redemption. Four things and precise.
These are not positions you are working toward. These are identities you already occupy.
Christ has been made your wisdom which means you have access to the One in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge and he lives in your spirit. Christ has been made your righteousness, which means your standing before Father God is not determined by yesterday's performance. It is determined by what the cross of Jesus accomplished and what that has legally made you in the sight of heaven. Christ is your sanctification.
Your separation unto God is not a process you complete through effort, but a position you receive through union with him. Christ is your redemption. Everything that enslaved you has been legally purchased back.
1 Corinthians 15 then addresses the resurrection with a force that the entire Pauline revelation depends upon. If Christ has not been raised, your faith is vain. But Christ has been raised. And because he has been raised, death has no dominion, sin has no legal claim, and the enemy is already conquered.
The resurrection is not only a historical event, it is the legal basis for every authority the believer exercises today.
Then 2 Corinthians 5:17, this is called the most complete statement ot new creation reality in the entire Bible.
If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature. Old things are passed away. Behold, all things are become new.
Not a new version of the old man, not an improved model of the same broken nature, a new species, brand new in kind. The old nature, the satanic nature that every human being inherited from Adam in the garden was not reformed at the new birth. It was replaced.
¶Note: "He is a new species, something the world had never known until the day of Pentecost. He is so nearly like Christ, so utterly one with him that Christ can say, I am the vine and ye are the branches."
And then verse 21, the exchange at Calvary stated with breathtaking legal precision, him who knew no sin, God made to become sin on our behalf, that we might become the righteousness of God in him.
The Israelites under the old covenant had righteousness reckoned to them. We have righteousness imparted to us. This righteousness enables us to stand in the Father's presence as though sin had never been.
Not a righteousness earned through performance. Not a righteousness that fluctuates with spiritual consistency. The very righteousness of God Himself imparted to the spirit of the believer as a permanent legal unassalable identity. It is not assailable : not liable to doubt, attack, or question.
2 Corinthians 4:16 then reveals the renewal process.
Though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. Your spirit, your recreated inner man, is constantly being renewed with the life of Christ.
And as you learn to draw from that inner man rather than from the outer man ruled by the five senses, you experience something no natural resource can produce.
Strength that is not your own. Wisdom that is not your own. Peace that passes all understanding.
Corinthians establishes what Thessalonians began.
You are a new creation. You are the righteousness of God. The resurrection is the legal foundation of your authority.
And the inner man that was recreated at the new birth is being renewed daily, waiting for you to draw from it.
Now we move to the letter apostle Paul wrote in white heat. Galatians.
Apostle Paul wrote Galatians in white heat. There was nothing cool or academic about this letter.
Someone had come to the Galatian churches and told them that faith in Christ was not enough. That they needed to add the keeping of the Mosaic law, circumcision, legal observance to their Christian walk.
And apostle Paul's 21:11 response was one of the most passionate documents in human history.
Galatians 1, even if an angel from heaven preaches a different gospel, let him be accursed, not corrected, not gently redirected, accursed.
Because what was at stake was not a theological disagreement. What was at stake was the entire foundation of the believer's freedom.
Galatians is apostle Paul's great charter of new creation liberty.
The law was given to govern spiritually dead men. It was never given for new creation people.
No man who is born again has any part or lot in the ten commandments. They were all fulfilled in Christ and set aside.
The first covenant was given to a spiritually dead people under the dominion of the adversary.
The new covenant is given to new creation people who have received God's own nature.
And for a new creation person to go back under the law is as absurd as a citizen adopting the laws of a foreign nation and trying to get God to honour them laws accordingly.
Galatians 5:1. Stand fast, therefore, in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with a yoke of bondage.
The gravest danger for every believer is the possibility of lapsing* back into bondage after being made free, of leaving the realm of the spirit and walking back into the realm of the senses, of allowing sense knowledge to regain the supremacy that the new creation had already overcome.
[*(of a right, privilege, or agreement) become invalid because it is not used, claimed, or renewed; expire.
*pass gradually into (an inferior state or condition).]
And Galatians is the systematic dismantling of every argument that supports returning to performance, to effort, to the exhausting and ultimately futile attempt to make yourself righteous through your own doing.
But the verse we returned to more than any other in all of our writing and preaching is not Galatians 5:1. It is Galatians 2 :20. I am crucified with Christ. Nevertheless, I live. Yet not I, but Christ liveth in me. And the life which I now live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the Son of God who loved me and gave himself for me.
Not for them, for me. The most personal sentence in all of Paul's writing.
The Son of God who loved me individually, specifically personally, and gave himself for me.
And now that same Son of God lives in me, not helping me from a distance. Not blessing me from heaven while I struggle in my own strength on earth.
Actually living in me, united with my spirit, making his life my life and his nature my nature. This is not just apostle Paul's testimony. This is every believer's reality.
And until this becomes revelation and not merely information, until Galatians 2:20 becomes the framework through which you understand your own existence, you will continue to live as apostle Paul warned the Galatians, as though the finished work of Christ was not finished enough.
As though something still needs to be added.
As though faith alone is insufficient.
As though you must supplement what the cross accomplished with your own religious effort.
And the result is always the same. Exhaustion, condemnation, the endless cycle of trying harder, failing, repenting, and trying again with no real transformation and no real victory because you are trying to produce through effort what has already been produced through the cross of Jesus Christ.
Galatians 2:20 is the answer to all of it.
Christ liveth in me, not working with me, not helping me when I pray enough, living in me as the vine lives in the branch, as the life of the tree flows through every part that is connected to it.
When that reality becomes more real to you than any circumstance you face. When the indwelling Christ becomes your moment by-moment conscious reality rather than a theological position you mentally hold.
Everything in your Christian life shifts.
Prayer shifts, confession shifts, authority shifts.
The way you face sickness, lack, fear, and every other attack of the enemy shifts completely because you are no longer facing it alone.
You are facing it as one in whom Christ Himself dwells. And the One who lives in you already conquered everything that is coming against you.
Now we come to apostle Paul's masterpiece.
Letter to the Romans.
If Galatians is apostle Paul's most urgent letter, Romans is his masterpiece, the most systematic, the most comprehensive, the most complete statement of what redemption accomplished and what it means for the believer right now.
And we approached Romans not as academic theology, but as a revelation of legal realities that the believer must know in order to walk in freedom.
We identified righteousness as the key word in Paul's epistles.
Righteousness, apostle Paul wrote, means the ability to stand in the Father's presence without the sense of fear, condemnation, or inferiority.
And Romans is the most comprehensive unpacking of righteousness in all of scripture.
Romans 3 establishes the legal foundation. All have sinned and come short of the glory of God. Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. Justified. This is precise.
Justified does not mean that God decided to overlook your sin. It means that in the courtroom of heaven, a complete legal transaction took place.
Your sin was placed on Christ. His righteousness was placed on you. The exchange was total.
The verdict was permanent. And no subsequent failure of yours can overturn what that legal transaction established because the transaction was not based on your performance. It was based on the sacrifice of Christ.
Romans 5:17 then reveals what this justification produces.
They which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one Jesus Christ. Reign in life, not survive in life, not endure life, reign as kings in the present tense through the gift of righteousness that was legally imparted at the new birth.
For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive an abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ!
And then Romans 6, the chapter that most believers skip over because they cannot quite believe what it says. Know ye not that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? And if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection.
You did not merely receive Christ's forgiveness at the new birth. You were placed into His death, into His burial, and into His resurrection. Everything he went through legally, you went through in him. His death became your death to sin. His resurrection became your resurrection to new life. His victory over Satan became your legal inheritance of that same victory.
Romans 6:14.
Sin shall not have dominion over you.
Not sin will struggle to maintain dominion over you. Not sin wil have less dominion if you try hard enough.
Sin shall not have dominion. Present tense. Legal declaration. Sin lost its legal claim over the new creation the moment the new creation was born.
Romans 8 then brings it to its fullest expression.
There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus. No condemnation.
The most liberating legal statement in all of human history. No condemnation.
Not for yesterday's failure. Not for this morning's inconsistency. Not for the gap between who you want to be and who you have been. No condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus.
And then Romans 8:1, the verse that connects the resurrection directly to your physical body. If the spirit of HIM that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, He that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by His Spirit that dwelleth in you.
The same Spirit that raised a dead body out of a sealed tomb dwells in you right now. And that spirit is not merely a spiritual presence. It is a lifegiving power that has authority over your physical body that quickens, makes alive your mortal members.
That is the legal basis for divine health. Not a special gift for the especially favored. the logical outworking of the spirit of resurrection dwelling in a believer who knows what they carry.
Romans is Paul's masterpiece because it takes every revelation from Thessalonians, Corinthians, and Galatians and builds them into the most complete legal framework of redemption ever assembled. You are justified. You are righteous. Sin has no dominion.
There is no condemnation. The resurrection spirit dwells in you and you are designed to reign in life. Not someday. Now.
Now we move to the letters apostle Paul wrote from prison where the revelation, if anything, went deeper still.
Apostle Paul wrote his deepest letters from prison. Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, three letters composed while chained to a Roman guard. And yet what came out of that prison cell represents the highest altitude of Pauline revelation as though the removal of every physical freedom drove him deeper into the spiritual realities that no chain could touch.
Ephesians is where apostle Paul lifts the believer's position to its ultimate height.
Ephesians 1:3. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ.
All spiritual blessings, not some, not the ones you have prayed long enough for. All already given, already 3 1:51 deposited, already yours in Christ before you ever asked, before you ever believed, before you ever prayed a
31:59 single prayer. And then Ephesians 1:18, the prayer Kenyon returned to again and again as the key to walking in the fullness of everything Paul reveals.
32:11 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened that ye may know what is the hope of his calling and what the riches
32:20 of the glory of his inheritance in the saints.
32:25 Paul was not praying for them to receive more. He was praying for them to see what they already had. The entire prayer
32:33 is about perception, not provision, about seeing the inheritance, not receiving one. They already had one. The only thing missing was the revelation of it.
And then Ephesians 2:6, the verse that locates the believer in the most powerful position in the universe. He hath raised us up together and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.
Seated, past tense, already shed, not working toward a position, already 0
