Paul's prayer came to an end. He began by praising God for all the riches we have in Christ Jesus. Once his praise concluded, he immediately began to pray. What a beautiful example of how we should first encourage one another and then pray for one another. 

Paul prayed that all those who are faithful in Christ Jesus would have wisdom, revelation, knowledge and understanding. That we would know the hope of His calling, the riches of the glory of God's inheritance in us and the exceeding greatness of His power towards those who believe. He also prayed that we would know that power according to the resurrection of Jesus, the ascension of Jesus and one day soon, the return of Jesus. 

Finally, we must always remember that we are the body of Christ, and that Christ is the head of the body.

Isaac is determined to give the blessing to Esau. This goes against the will of God. Rebekah is determined to ensure Jacob receives the blessing according to the will of God. She, along with the full cooperation of Jacob, will use deception to accomplish this. This is not the way to accomplish God's will. All parties involved will learn firsthand that God is sovereign. 

There are many lessons we can learn from this passage. One lesson is the faithfulness of God. Jacob is about to enter a time of being prepared to be the man that God has called him to be. God in his sovereignty is sending Jacob to his uncle Laban's in order that Jacob will one day become Israel.

Always remember that God is faithful to work in us in order that he might work through us. God is faithful to work in us in order that we would become all that He has called us to be for His glory.

We now come to the conclusion of all the eternal riches we have in Christ. We have seen the work of the Father and the Son. Now we will see the work of the Holy Spirt as He seals us. We belong to the Father, purchased by the blood of Christ, eternally sealed by the Holy Spirit.

We also see how the Ephesians were known for the faith in the Lord Jesus and their love for all the saints. This is what glorifies God and sets His church apart in a dark and evil world. How critical that we as believers, as the body of Christ, would be known for a faith in the Lord Jesus and our love for all the saints.

We now come to a sad chapter. Isaac was a man who started out the race well but will not finish strong. Isaac is a picture of a carnal Christian. He has fallen so far from where he began. A good beginning does not guarantee a strong finish. 

In this study we will see Isaac trying to bless Esau against the will of God. Rebekah overhears what he is doing. She then tries to block Isaac's efforts by acting deceptively to ensure God's will would be done. Jacob allows himself to become a part of Rebekah's plan. Both Rebekah and Jacob desired God's will but were trying to accomplish it through deception.

They will soon find out that God's will must be accomplished God's way. A good lesson for us all.

In this study we looked at the redemption, revelation and inheritance that we, as the faithful in Christ Jesus, possess now and for all eternity in Christ. This is added on to our election and predestination. These riches that we have in Christ are eternal and untouchable. Although these riches belong to us now, we have barely begun to realize their immensity. 

May we all realize more and more the vastness of all we have in Christ Jesus. May we live every day with humility and gratitude knowing that God has lavished His great wealth upon us all in Christ Jesus.

This chapter is dedicated to Isaac. In it God will test Isaac's faith by sending a famine. True faith is a tested faith. Isaac's faith had to be tested. So, to will our faith be tested.

Isaac initially failed in the area of fear. Rather that fear God, he chose to fear man. The result of his fearing man could have catastrophic, however, God in His sovereignty kept His hand upon Isaac.

Ultimately, Isaac learned to fear God. In the process he also learned what it means to truly worship God.

In our last study, we began to look at all the riches we already have in Christ. The amazing fact according to the scriptures is that God the Father has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in Christ in heavenly places. These blessing are for all believers in Christ now. 

In these riches we see the work of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. We see the trinity at work in the life of the believer. 

In this study, we will look at the work of the Father. As we look at it, we will tackle some huge doctrines. Not only are we already looking at the doctrine of the trinity, but now we will look at the doctrines of election and predestination. Sadly, these doctrines have been mangled and misconstrued. But in truth, they are a part of the riches we have in Christ. We will look at them and discover, according to God's word, the joy we should have in knowing that we have been chosen and predestined by God.

In this study we come to the end of Abrahams life. Here we will see how this great man of faith finished his race strong. Abraham has been a great example of how we should run the race and how we should finish the race.

Next, we are given a brief view into the life of Isaac and Rebekah. We see the birth of Esau and Jacob and very quickly move into Esau selling the birthright to Jacob.

It is a fast-moving chapter filled with great lessons throughout that we are able to apply to ourselves.

We now begin an amazing study in the book of Ephesians. Immediately we are introduced to the riches we now have in Christ. Every blessing that we have is in Christ. The wealth of every true believer in Christ is beyond the scope of our ability to even begin to imagine. 

The first half of this epistle will show us all that we have in Christ. It will show us all that God has done for us in Christ. Once we truly know this, it will impact the way we live for Jesus now.

Buckle up as we travel to incredible spiritual heights.

We now come to the conclusion of this great chapter. This wonderful picture that displays the work of the trinity in the life of the believer. It is a chapter that points us to Christ and His church. It points us to how the Father sent the Spirit to gather a bride for His Son. What a wonderful picture set before us.

In this study we look at the Christian journey that every believer must take. It is so encouraging to know the great work and ministry of the of the Holy Spirit in our lives as we travel the path set before us. It is ever so wonderful to know that the Holy Spirit will ensure are safe delivery to Jesus.
