We had a great night in the Word of God last Wednesday night, God has been speaking to us in a powerful way in our study in the book of Ephesians.

At the beginning of the year, the Lord directed us to teach the Bible verse by verse, starting with the Epistle to the Ephesians. So on February 13 we ventured to obey the Lord and now, close to 25 lessons later, we are coming to the final verses of the epistle. It has been quite a journey and a growing experience for us. It has feed our faith and gave us revelation knowledge in so many areas. Last Wednesday, we began discussing the Authority structure for the home and how God's blessing flows through His prescribed structure to bring us to maturity, but it was when we entered into chapter 6 and verse 10 that we began to see why that structure is important because the Apostle Paul tells us to, "Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might."

The words "power" and "might" in this verse denote ruling power or endowed power. In other words, Paul is telling us that we have ruling power and endowed authority in Christ that we should be strong in and exercise.

We must learn to exercise our ruling power within ourselves, upon our circumstances and against our enemy! If we will abide in God's structure of authority we can exercise the delegated authority or ruling power that Christ has given us, we have it in Him! It is ours to walk in today!

We can speak to barren places, walled cities, mountains of adversity and the giants of discouragement, and see them fall! Satan has been stripped of his authority on the redeemed new creation and it is time for all the children of God to exercise their ruling power, liberating themselves and others from the traps of the enemy.

We had a time of prayer after the study in which we exercised our ruling power over areas in our lives that the enemy has had his hand in too long, I believe breakthroughs happened as an atmosphere of joy and excitement came over the people. I cannot wait to hear the testimonies of what God has done since that night, He is awesome!

I would encourage anyone who wants a grasp on the Bible, to come to our Wednesday Night Bible Study, we are close to wrapping up the Ephesians study, but will be breaking down another book of the Word of God after we get through. I have grown and the people in attendance have grown as the Word has went forth and I know that you will as well.

Hope to see you soon.

Your Servant,

Greg
