 • Ephesians 4:1-10  Luke 11:1-4

            ☀️ Ephesians 4:1-10

1 - Therefore I (Paul) in shackles because of the faith of the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you’ve been called. 2 With humility and gentleness, and patience and forbearance with one another, with love.

     3 Be sincere and eager to maintain the bond of peace, in the unity of God’s Spirit {his presence with}.

     4 For there is one body. One Spirit. {As there is one humanity with all its beautiful branches.} And we are all called to the one hope [elpís - from elpō - anticipation, a welcome expectation of what is sure and certain}. The hope {happy expectation} that belongs to the calling.

     5 There is one Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 one God and Father of all, who is over all, and through all, and in all. 7 But grace is given to each one of us according to the measure of Christ's gift. 8 That is why it says, “When he ascended on high, he led captivity captive! And he gave gifts.”

     9 And in saying, “He ascended,” what does it mean but that he had also descended into the lower part of the earth. {The grave, 2Pet.2:5 answers 1Pet.3:19, prison as locked into what was coming, Eccles.9:5,10.}

     10 And He is the, one, who then ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all. [Pas - every, all, the whole.]

            🌙 Luke 11:1-4

1 - Jesus was in a quiet place praying, and afterwards, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples to pray.”

     2 So he said, “When you pray, pray like this, ‘Our Father who is in heaven, hallowed [hagiazó - sacred, holy, set apart] is your name. Your kingdom come, and your will be done upon Earth, as it is in heaven. 3 Give us this day our daily bread, 4 and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And let us not be led into temptation, but deliver us from evil.’”

     {A 2025 note.. My Father in heaven, blessed and honored be your name.. Please let your kingdom come that it be upon earth as it is in heaven, saturated and full of your Spirit. Give me today all grace and spiritual bread I need.. And forgive my faults and flaws as I overlook other’s. And please don’t let me be led into any evil or temptation, or delusion! (2026)

   But keep me in your Presence. Keep us all in your Presence, Father, amen. …“yesterday I was in the grip of a foul spirit, today let me praise and give thinks..” ..What I call an inner bad, angry mood.}
