1 ¶ Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus:
EPHESIANS 1:2

EPHESIANS 1:3
3 ¶ Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly [places] in Christ:
EPHESIANS 1:4
4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
EPHESIANS 1:5

EPHESIANS 1:11
11 In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:
EPHESIANS 1:12
12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.

EXPERIENCES.3_ PHOENIX.AZ SUNDAY_ 47-1221
E-2 So God is God. He's still the great I AM, not the I was, I AM, now, present tense. And He's--He always here to heal to those who believe. But only those who believe are the only ones that's going to be healed, regardless. You've got to believe it.
If you would... God might permit you right here this afternoon to get up and be crippled, and you walk around on this platform. You could walk off, and doubt and unbelief hit your heart, your condition will come right back to you again. And if you walk off and don't serve Him, a worse thing's going to come back to you again. That's right. You must serve God reverently all your life, believing Him with all your heart.
ANGEL.OF.GOD_ TOLEDO.OH FRIDAY_ 51-0720
E-47 Every seed will bring forth of its kind, is that right? Wheat will bring forth a wheat. Barley will bring barley. Corn will bring corn. Is that right?
Well, Jesus said the Word of God was a Seed. Is that right? Now, Mark 11:24 a Seed then? Jesus said,
"Whatsoever things you desire, when you pray, believe you receive it, and you shall have it." Now look, the--the order of the Scripture. Believe now, you receive it, present tense; in the future it'll be given to you. "Whatsoever things you desire, if you pray, believe you receive them, and it shall be given unto you." See? You shall receive it in the future. Just accept it; believe it; stay with it. Water it; believe it; it'll come to pass. God's under obligation, isn't He? God's under obligation to His Word.
ISRAEL.AT.THE.RED.SEA.1_ JEFF.IN IC 35-64 THURSDAY_ 53-0326
32 "He that comes to Me, I will in no wise cast out." Is that right? And listen, here's the Man's Word about it, Jesus Christ,
St. John 5:24, "He (whosoever), He that heareth My Words, and believeth on Him that sent Me, hath (present tense) Everlasting Life (That's not just from one meeting to another.)--Everlasting Life, and shall not come into judgment (or condemnation, never be cast away), but hath (past tense) passed from death unto Life." St. John 5:24, Jesus said so. "I am the Bread of Life that come from God out of heaven. Your fathers eat manna in the wilderness and are dead, but he that eats My flesh and drinks My Blood hath Everlasting Life, and I'll raise him up at the last days." That's what He said.
TESTIMONY.OF.JESUS.CHRIST_ CHICAGO.IL SATURDAY_ 53-0829
E-78 That's in another dimension that many people know little of. But God lives in that place. And only thing you have to do is not think about your senses, how you feel. Just believe what He said, for the Scriptures cannot be broken.
"Whatsoever things you desire, when you pray, believe you receive it (present tense); it will be given to you (future tense)": Saint Mark 11:24.
Have faith in God. And God will bring it to pass. We cannot heal. We can only declare that Jesus Christ is risen from the dead. He healed you when He died. He rose again for your justification. And when you believe on Him, you're justified in the sight of God. Then believe that He is risen from the dead. His atonement was for every one of you. Every person, every sick person was healed when Jesus put it in the deposit at Calvary. Amen.
WHAT.THINK.YE.OF.CHRIST_ CHICAGO.IL SUNDAY_ 53-1213M
E-23 What are we going to need miracles in the millennium, when we're supernatural beings? See? How are we going to need those thing... Now, the Bible said,
"Now are we the sons of God." Not... "Now" is--is now a present tense. "Now are we the sons." Not we will be, we are now. We are this morning; we are this very hour. "Now are we the sons of God, seated together, set together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus now."
Right this very minute we're--we're seated together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. Every man, by one spirit we're all baptized into one Body, become members of this Body by Holy Spirit baptism. And now, we're seated together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus, free from judgment. We can never go to the judgment. How can you be judged twice? By... You...
God judged Jesus Christ, and He put our judgment upon Christ, and Christ paid our judgment at Calvary. If we're in Christ, we're secured in Christ. By... How do we get into Christ? "By one Spirit we're all baptized into one body." Is that right?
ABSOLUTE.AN_ PHOENIX.AZ SUNDAY_ 63-0127
E-78 Moses had that Absolute. Paul had the same Absolute, the same Pillar of Fire, the same Holy Spirit, the same God, not the "I was," or "I will be," the "I AM," uh-huh, present tense, always.
Joshua had an Absolute. That's when he met the Chief Captain, the host of Israel's Chief Captain. And He told him to march around the walls. They was all fortified in with... Oh, man, you talk about hard to get in: hard to have a revival in there, because no one would let him in. They was all closed up on him. But he met the Chief Captain. He told him what to do, just put on full armor of God and keep marching. Amen. The walls will fall down.
And when the people shouted, and the trumpets sounded, that was his absolute. He went right in for his campaign then, right into--to Jericho. Sure. He had a Absolute the Word of--from the Chief Captain.
INVESTMENTS_ CHICAGO.IL V-21 N-5 SATURDAY_ 63-0803B
204 Notice. And then, all of a sudden, he was stricken down by a Light, a Pillar of Fire standing there, and he recognized It. He said, "Lord, Who are You?"
And He said, "I'm Jesus."
And when he got the revelation that God and Christ wasn't two different people, they were the same-self Person, then he was ready to make an investment. I wonder if we could see that same thing today.
When Paul seen then, being a Jew, that, "The very God that led me through, led my people through the wilderness, there He is, and calling His Name Jesus."
From "I AM," He was the I AM. And "I AM" is everlasting; it's eternal. Not "I was, I will be." I AM,
(present tense, all ages,) the same yesterday, today, and forever."
Then Paul cried out, "Lord, I want to make an investment." What will You have me to do? What will You make me do, Lord? What must I do?" Oh, my. "What can I do?"
SUPER.SIGN_ SHREVEPORT.LA V-17 N-7 FRIDAY_ 63-1129
1 Let us pray. Heavenly Father, we're grateful to Thee tonight, that Thou art still the great I AM, not the "I was" or "will be." You're present tense, our God. And You're the same yesterday, today, and forever, the unchangeable God.
We thank Thee because that we have this privilege of knowing this, that's been revealed to us by the Holy Spirit. And He has sealed us into the Kingdom of God with Him by the Token that He left us. We're so grateful for It. Bless us, tonight, as we wait on You. In Jesus' Name we pray. Amen. (May be seated.)
