Begin With Purity!



‘Begin With Purity.’
1 Thessalonians 4:3.
a)  This is God’s Will.
b)  Our purity of life.
c)  Abstain from sexual immorality.
(This QT reminds me that in Disciple making I need to Begin With Purity if the Disciple is to grow in the Lord)

‘The Gifts From Our Majestic Lord.’
Ephesians 4:8-11.
a)  Ephesians 4:8. When Jesus Ascended back to the Father He took spiritual prisoners into captivity and gave Gifts to People.
b)  Ephesians 4:9. Jesus first had descended into the lower parts of the Earth. (At the time of His Death by Crucifixion)
c)  Ephesians 4:10; John 20:17; 3:13. He Who descended is the same as He Who Ascended again far above all the heavens in order to fill the Universe.
d)  Ephesians 4:11. He Himself appointed some people to be:-
1- Apostles.
2- Prophets.
3- Evangelists.
4- Pastors.
5- Teachers.
(This Second reveals to me The Gifts From Our Majestic Lord)
