Daily Bread
Ephesians 4:1- "I call to you myself as the prisoner of the Lord; walk worthy of the calling to which you are called."
There is no other book in the Bible where the calling of God is spelled out in loftier words. Beginning in chapter 1 with the statement "Blessed with all spiritual blessings in the heavenlies" to "being filled with all of the fullness of God" in Ephesians 3:19. However, what the believer must learn is that this realm of greatness and glory in Christ Jesus functions through humility and servitude. The fact is that the greatest in the Kingdom is the servant of all. If we are to walk in the heights of God then we must be willing to allow this same mind that was in Christ Jesus to also be in us (Philippians 2:5).
Blessings,

- I started this blog back in 2005, but in 2006 began dedicating it solely for the purpose of posting email messages called, Daily Bread, sent out Monday through Saturday by my pastor, Mark Spitsbergen. These daily emails contain fresh revelation that Mark gets from the Word of God by the Holy Spirit for that day for the church that God has called him to pastor, Abiding Place. 1 Peter 4:11 says, "If any man speak let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister let him do it as of the ability which God gives that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ to whom be praise and dominion forever and ever. Amen." Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, (John 14:6), and He says, "The words that I speak to you are Spirit, and they are Life." (John 6:63). For the Word of God is quick (alive), and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. (Hebrews 4:12).
