Paul’s letter to the Ephesians and his sister letter to the Colossians reveals our true spiritual identity. One cannot spiritually read Ephesians and not see the life of spiritual sonship and its outworking in our daily lives. True to form, Paul closes his letter to the Ephesians by emphasizing the defensive spiritual armor meant to protect every born-again spiritual Son.

We inherit traits from our biological parents, and so it is spiritually. We inherit “spiritual” traits from our Spiritual Father. Biological traits can be altered through genetic modification, a technique that changes the characteristics of an organism by transferring DNA from one organism to another. This can be done by removing genes from one organism’s DNA and adding them to another. But this is not the case when it comes to “Spiritual” traits. There is no other “Source” that Spiritual DNA can be taken from. Our Father is the only “Source.”
MMR teaches that we must “be holy, try to live right, or do what Jesus would do,” in an attempt to “modify or enhance” something that cannot be manipulated.
As we continue in Ephesians I trust our Father will reveal Himself to us with a deeper understanding of who He is as our Father and who we are to Him as His Spiritual Son!

As I mentioned in my teaching on Ephesians chapter 4, I do not see a well-defined chapter break between chapters 4 and 5. Consider this a follow-up to my teaching last month. For that reason, I will reach well into chapter four to begin the teaching on Sunday, but first I would like to discuss the word ‘were’. Were is one of the most powerful words to the spiritually born-again Sons. It is a word that I will focus on Sunday. It is vital to understand who we are now as the spiritual Sons of God.

The Father has continued to unfold and REVEAL His MYSTERY to those Spiritual Sons who truly and fully LOVE Him and are focused on HEARING, SEEING His ABSOLUTE LIGHT, and FULLY KNOWING Him!
Our Father is the True Source of All ABSOLUTE LIGHT and ILLUMINATING PURITY. James tells us that every good gift, and certainly every complete gift always comes from our Father (James 1:17). After all, the Father is the source of All ABSOLUTE LIGHT and ABSOLUTE PURITY. LIGHT is the natural means or Spiritual example that we can see or relate to in this natural world. LIGHT is the type of His Holiness and His ABSOLUTE PURITY in the Spiritual Dimension. We will be able to SEE, HEAR, and fully MANIFEST THE FATHER’S WILL and NATURE as we LIVE and WALK in HIS ABSOLUTE LIGHT!
WE MUST SPIRITUALLY LEARN & FULLY MANIFEST THE FATHER!
Let’s talk some more about these things.

There has been much consternation over the idea of submission. This is especially true when it comes to the content of this text.
21 Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. 22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. 24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so [let] the wives [be] to their own husbands in everything.
WOW! There are a lot of trigger words, combustible statements, and elephants in those verses. It appears in verse 21 that Paul drops the words “submitting yourselves” out of nowhere and as a command or mandate. But is this a mandate? Before we discuss this further let’s look at the other elephant in verse 22, “Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.”
Next, Paul sets off a firestorm of controversy in the flesh of man-made religion when he writes this.
Eph 5:22-24 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the savior of the body. 24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so [let] the wives [be] to their own husbands in everything.
There are husbands and wives today, maybe this morning, who are at odds with these three verses. So, as we start you need to remember that everything in the Bible is Spiritual. Meaning, that the things we read were Spiritually inspired and subject to the same Spirit to reveal their meanings to every reader. So, let’s talk about it…
