Wisdom Cries From Without

God’s wisdom calls out to everyone, inviting all who will listen to turn from folly and walk in truth.
The message is a profound exposition on Ephesians Chapter 2 (verses 1–4), centering on the transformative power of God’s grace, mercy, and salvation through Jesus Christ. The speaker begins by establishing the holiness and omnipotence of God, emphasizing worship and a heart renewed daily by God’s strength.
The core teaching revolves around the spiritual condition of humanity before salvation—being “dead in trespasses and sins,” living a lifestyle dictated by the “course of this world” and “the prince of the power of the air,” identified here as Satan. This state implies that all people, no matter their background or moral standing, are inherently separated from God due to sin and disobedience.
The turning point is the divine intervention “but God,” who, rich in mercy and love, quickens (makes alive) believers through Christ. Salvation is not merely about forgiveness but involves a radical nature change, lifting believers from being “children of wrath” to becoming children of God, seated with Christ in heavenly places, empowered to live out a new lifestyle aligning with God’s will.
The message also confronts the misconception about sin—not just as physical wrong deeds but also as attitudes, distrust, and self-reliance that reject God’s authority. It stresses the necessity of forgiveness, not choosing sin based on feelings but adhering strictly to the truth of God’s Word, which remains eternal.
Furthermore, the message warns believers about the pervasive influence of “the prince of the power of the air” (Satan) through modern avenues like media and technology. Believers must guard their hearts and minds, changing their lifestyle and mindset from worldly to heavenly values.
The final emphasis is on the power that salvation brings, tying believers intimately to Christ, seated spiritually at God’s right hand, granting them authority over spiritual forces and enabling them to live victorious lives by faith grounded in the Word of God.
Ephesians 2:1-4
“And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins… But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us…”
Ephesians 1:20-23
Describes Christ’s exalted position at God’s right hand, above all powers, and the church as His body filled with His fullness.
Proverbs 3:5-6
“Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.”
John 8:31-32 (quoted paraphrase)
“If you continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”
John 17:17
“Thy word is truth.”
Before salvation, all are spiritually dead in sin, following worldly ways under Satan’s influence. Salvation through Christ is a miraculous quickening—God makes us alive and joins us with Him. This new life transforms our nature from wrath to children of God.
Sin is not just outward actions but also the refusal to trust God fully—leaning on one’s own understanding instead of God’s guidance. Without trusting and acknowledging God in all things, one is operating in sin, regardless of outward religious behavior.
Christ commands forgiveness even in difficult, painful situations. Holding unforgiveness separates us from God’s power. True Christianity involves forgiving others as God forgives us, enabling us to live free and fully in God’s grace.
Feelings are real but not reliable as spiritual guides. The only absolute truth is God’s Word. Believers must ground their lives, decisions, and spirituality in scripture rather than emotions, which can lead astray.
Satan, termed “prince of the power of the air,” exerts influence through the media and technology that permeate daily life. Believers must be vigilant and not conform to worldly patterns but live by heavenly principles, maintaining the identity and power given to them in Christ.

Father God in Heaven
I’m asking for forgiveness for my sins and
to be Washed clean!
I Believe that Jesus the Christ died on
the cross for the sins of the world,
And that His blood was shed and
His body was broken as a sacrifice for me!
In Your Word 1st John 1:9 – The Word states:
“If you confess our sins, He is faithful and
just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us
from all unrighteousness”.
I confess I’m a sinner!
Jesus Christ
I believe that You were crucified for me!
Wash me clean that I may be made whole!
Please come and live in my heart!
I’m submitting my Life, my will, my mind, my thoughts,
& my imaginations to You
Abide in me, allow me to abide in You!
Let Your Word abide in me!
My Lord & My God!
In the Name of Jesus Christ!
Amen.
