Morning Bliss: Letters From  A Roman Prison_

Focal Scripture : 2Corith. 11:32-33;  " 2Corinth. 11:32-33  In Damascus the governor under King Aretas kept the city of the Damascenes under a military guard, wanting to capture me. 33 📚But I was lowered in a basket through a window in the wall, and escaped from his hands.”.

                   

                 Read: 2Corith. 11:16-33

**Happy New Month Blessed Family**
May the Lord release His blessings for the Month on You this morning in Jesus Name Amen...

I woke Up with a lot of Ease, feeling far strong than ever,  and fresh, it is a sign of God stepping In to give me Rest in all Sides, hence I prophecy to you and your family, you shall have rest from God in all ramifications this new Month in Jesus Name, Amen!

Commentary:
When Martin Luther King Jr. penned his Letter From a Birmingham City Jail in April 1963, he joined a long tradition of Christians who wrote letters and books while in jail, including John Bunyan, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, and most notably, the apostle Paul.

This month we will be studying Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, and Philemon, all letters the apostle wrote as a prisoner in Rome.

At that time, people were sent to prison not as punishment, but to await trial and possible execution.

When Paul wrote these letters, he was most likely serving a two-year “house arrest” (Acts 28:30). This meant he was able to live in a rented residence, though in chains and guarded.

This was not Paul’s first arrest. Imprisonment was so much a part of Paul’s Christian experience that he included it on his resume.

In 2 Corinthians 11:5 he began his defense by claiming that he was not inferior to those whom others may view as “super-apostles” or perhaps better translated as “eminent” or “chief apostles.” To support this assertion, Paul reluctantly listed some of his accomplishments (vv. 22–29), including his frequent imprisonment.

We tend to look at a church’s size and budget as evidence of God at work. The apostle Paul recognized that God works through weakness.

For this reason, Paul wrote, “If I must boast, I will boast of the things that show my weakness” (v. 30).

You may be surprised to find that the letters we will be studying this month are some of Paul’s most joyful.

Yet Paul wrote them while under house arrest in Rome. Instead of curtailing his ministry, this imprisonment allowed Paul to articulate some of the deepest theology in the New Testament.

>> What appears to us to be a setback is often an open door. We do not need a large platform to make an impact on those around us.

As we make ourselves available, God will work through us even in the most confining circumstances.

Morning Bliss: Sin through One Man' Focal Scripture : Romans 5:12; Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned."                  Read: Romans 5:12-16 Can one man make a difference? Human history shouts in the affirmative. One man, one woman, one child can have an enormous impact, either for good or evil. Adam, by eating of the fruit which God had forbidden, plunged himself and all his posterity into sin. And the inevitable result of sin was death. The world is full of "if onlys". If only Adam had not eaten of that fruit! If only the people had listened to Noah's preaching! If only Moses had not lost his temper! If only Peter had stood up for Jesus! On the other hand, the world is full of "what ifs". What if Abraham had not faithfully followed God's command? What if David had not stood up to Goliath? What if Paul had not written to the churches?...

Morning Bliss: Focus On Jesus_ Focal Scripture : Luke 10:20 - 'Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.'                                      Read: Luke 10:20   We were never instructed to have a Ph.D. in demonology.  However, some justify focusing on Satan and his activity to an inordinate degree.  This will actually encourage demonic activity and become a device that Satan can use against us. As Paul said, we should not be 'ignorant' of Satan's devices.  We certainly need to know that the devil and demons exist, and we need to recognize when we are facing demonic activity. But we need to keep our focus on the Lord. Some people who are excessive in 'spiritual warfare' actually spend more time talking to the devil each day than they do talking to God.  That's not r...

https://anchor.fm/eric-michael/episodes/Power-Of-Perception-e5184k  Power Of Perception   There is a law in psychology that if you form a picture in your mind of what you would like to be, and you keep and hold that picture there long enough, you will soon become exactly as you have been thinking. — William James ■ YOU ARE BORN UNAFRAID The child is born with no fears, except those of falling and loud noises. All other fears have to be taught to the child as he or she grows up. The two major fears we all develop are the fear of failure or loss and the fear of criticism or rejection. We begin to learn the fear of failure if we are continually criticized and punished when we try some- thing new or different. We are shouted at and told, “No! Get away from there! Stop that! Put that down!” Physical punishment and the withholding of love, possibilities that scare us and make us feel insecure, often accompany these shouts and criticisms. We s...
