And Gave Him To Be Head Over All Things to the Church, Which Is His Body, the Fullness of Him That Filleth All in All- Part 1169

Stop inserting new terminology that can't be found anywhere in scripture. Stop listening to those who justify their lack of understanding of the mystery that was hid in the bosom of the Father from the beginning of the world with false teachings. For example, how many have heard some religious representative praying to "Father God"?  Or, "Daddy God"? Cited and prayed to within congregation after congregation even when there is no scriptural basis for this. None whatsoever.

Why? Because even in practical human terms, one can only become a Father when a child has been birthed. This is why Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ wrote:

"For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of His Majesty. For He received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to Him from the excellent glory, "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased." (II Peter 1:16-18)

Indeed, "for in Him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily." (Ephesians 2:9)

"He was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him not. He came unto His own and His own received Him not ... but as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God -- to them that believe on His name." (John 1:1-18)

He who knew no sin became sin -- was made flesh -- so that we might have redemption and be sanctified through His blood, through His body broken for us, through His truth -- Thy Word is truth.

Thus, "having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, to the praise of the glory of His grace, wherein He hath made us accepted in the beloved -- in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace.

Wherein He hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence, having made known unto us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He hath purposed in Himself, that in the dispensation of the fullness of times He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in Him.

In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being pre-destinated according to the purpose of Him who worketh all things after the counsel of His own will, that we should be to the praise of His glory, who first trusted in Christ. In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the Word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,

Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of His glory, wherefore, I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints, cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers, that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him:

The eyes of your understanding being enlightened that ye may know what is the hope of His calling, and what the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of His mighty power, which He wrought in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead, and set Him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come -- and hath put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be the Head over all things to the church -- which is His body, the fullness of Him that filleth all in all." (Ephesians 1:18-23)

It is time for believers to stop being bewitched by wolves in sheep's clothing who don't understand the scriptures themselves. (Galatians 3:1)

"Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of Truth." (II Timothy 2:15) Let him who hath ears to hear, hear. Stand in the offering plate.
