We are fellow citizens with God's people. Due to the fact that we are now God's people.

Access to the Father is everything...because of the ultimate sacrifice God made with his Son, we have total access to be in God's holy presence...we don't have to go through a second or third person but strait to the father himself...Access to the father is everything. Diplomatic relations is defined as "negotiations between parties without hostility"....it is similar due to the fact that we can negotiate or talk to God in a relationship mannor. We obtained this access when Jesus Christ died and reconciled us with the Father. With access to the father we can show and confess our love to God personally and pray directly to him of our purpose.

5a) In verse 20 God's power works through us. b ) As much power as we cannot even imagine, think, or dream of. c ) d )

1ab) Christ is the power and the head of all the power that the church recieves.

3) God raised us up over all other pricipalities to be seated with Christ at a rank of royalty.

2a) The significance Paul is relating to is the fact that the various spirit beings that the Gentiles believed in were under Christ's feet because of Him being seated at God's right hand. 2b) No spirit or spirits can exceed him.

Hi everyone, my name is Kirby Joseph and I am from Lake Charles,La. I currently live in Los Angeles,Ca , where I am attending UCLA. I play football here. I will be transferring to Tulane Univ. in New Orleans,La. in the fall. As of now, I do not attend a church here in L.A. but in Lake Charles,La I attend Christian World Ministries. I love the Lord with all my heart and desire to seek his face. I joined this study group to help me grow spiritually.

1ab) Paul wants them to really see and understand ALL that God has for them. "INCOMPARABLY great power", meaning that NO POWER can compare to to his. They were blind to the TRUE knowledge of God's power. 1c) This Power operates through the church=> us. It is for us to use. He has given us this great power for the use of his will. 1d) Paul uses the event of God raising his son Jesus from the dead. THIS IS GREAT POWER!!! AND THE BEST THING ABOUT IT IS THAT HE HAS GIVEN US ATHORITY TO USE IT ON HIS BEHALF!!!! AMEN!!!
