Take this message with you through a journey of Scripture, reflection, and prayer.

Summary

In this powerful teaching on Ephesians 3, Bishop Noel Jones shows that God established our spiritual blessings and destiny in eternity past before the foundation of the world. Because God's Word is inseparable from His divine essence, speaking His promises into our lives releases His active power to lift us above natural limits into divine revelation. As believers apprehend Christ's multidimensional love together in the church, God activates His exhaustless power within us to advance us to a new level of spiritual victory and authority.

Sermon Moments

“When I speak the word in a situation, I'm speaking God in the situation. You cannot speak His word and apply it to a situation without applying God to the situation.”

“Jesus is never recognized; He is always revealed.”

“You never walk by situation; you always walk by revelation.”

“Before God made the devil, He chose me. So why should I sit around worried about a Johnny-come-lately?”

“I don't know in my mind, but I know it in my spirit that weeping may endure for a night, but joy is coming in the morning.”

“I have the height, you have the length, my brother has the depth, and my sister has the width—when we come together into the house of God, we understand the full breadth of God's love.”

“Give somebody a high five and say, 'Neighbor, the best word is used-to-be, because the blood of Jesus can turn folk around.'”

“He can do all things above all things and still have more things to do above those things—His power within you is exhaustless!”

This Week

Speak God's specific biblical promises aloud over your daily struggles to directly apply His active power to your circumstances.

Stop trying to solve spiritual challenges through natural reasoning alone; pray for the Holy Spirit to give you spiritual revelation and wisdom.

Remind yourself during difficult trials that God knew and provided for your current situation before the foundation of the world.

Refuse to be intimidated by spiritual opposition, recognizing that increased spiritual resistance often signals that you are advancing to a higher level.

Engage actively with fellow believers in church to experience the multidimensional love of Christ through their diverse testimonies and backgrounds.

Release past mistakes and old habits by declaring your identity as "used to be" through the redeeming power of Christ's blood.

Make seeking God's kingdom and righteousness your top daily priority, trusting Him to add every necessary practical blessing to your life.

Remember This

God established your victory before the foundation of the world, and through His Spirit and Word, He is elevating you into a new level of divine power and authority.
