As we open God's Word to Ephesians 6:10-17 we are looking at the amazing new life, new beginning, and completely new identity God gave us when we were saved. When all systems are functioning properly, all the dimensions of being new creations in Christ are astounding. God’s Plan for Every Believer As believers, we are each designed by God to have: Lives held together with His liberating truth. Lives surrounded with His guilt-free righteousness. Lives permeated with His confident, hope-filled peace. Lives overshadowed by His 100% Reliable shield of faith. Lives transformed by the endless new beginnings of His salvation. Lives protected by His Word’s Spirit-empowered sword. When everything operates as designed by God, it is just a wonder to behold. When All the Parts Are Functioning In a small way, the hum of a well-tuned and running engine under the hood of a car is a great example. The ignition system, the fuel line, the lubrication system, and the exhaust system all work together to make the drive shaft spin, the tires turn, and the car work. But even a very small mistake in that interconnected system can make huge problems. I learned that well following the Arab Oil Embargo of October 1973. My 1969 Chevy Caprice with that huge, 454-cubic-inch, 7-liter engine went only 8-10 miles per gallon on the highway, As the price of gas went from $0.29 to $ 0.55 per gallon desperate times were upon us. Being the practical backyard mechanic that I was at 19 years of age, I heard that 4-cylinder cars got amazing gas mileage. So that evening in the garage I opened the hood, pulled off four spark plug wires, and instantly transformed my gas-guzzling Caprice into a sleek 4-cylinder gas miser. Everything looked great until the next morning when I fired up my car. It actually started and so violently shook that I almost broke the motor mounts. When that motor didn’t operate the way it was designed, my car was almost useless. Today this is how God has designed us to operate.

THE BIG PICTURE OF REVELATION Lost humanity rejected their Creator and Redeemer, so Christ the King returns as Judge. Then, for 1,000 Years Jesus Keeps His Promises and shows what He can do in renewing the Earth. But, nearly all of humanity rebels so FINAL JUDGMENT comes, and He casts all rebels into the LAKE OF FIRE (19-20). As saints we finally get to start enjoying God’s invitation to dwell in His captivating, satisfying, and sustaining Presence—God is with us, we’re at home in HEAVEN forever (21-22).

10. Satan the fallen, warped and twisted one (as he is revealed in Isaiah 14:12 “How you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How you are cut down to the ground, You who weakened the nations!) wants to twist your thinking by putting sinful ideas to appealing music. Have you ever compared the words or lyrics of the songs you like and listen to—with God's Word? Based on the lyrics of your music, would the Pure and Holy God of the Universe ever own that music, listen to that music, memorize that music? Are you slowly getting less and less offended by the suggestions, blatant sins, and foul language you hear in the background of your life through music? That is Satan the fallen, warped one twisting your thinking! 11. Satan the counterfeiter of truth (as he is revealed in II Corinthians 11:14 And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light.) wants to confuse your emotions by corrupting your desires and drawing your affections to the wrong things. Whatever we love we look more like whoever or whatever it is. If we believe God's Word is the ultimate truth we are guided closer each day to what God loves; if we are strangers to His truth then we are drawn further away from what pleases Him, glorifies Him, and magnifies Him. What is your source of truth God or Satan? There are only two sources of wisdom—above and below (James 3). Where is yours coming from? Do you know how to test the truth, verify the truth, and confirm the truth? Only God's Word is the unfailing source of all truth needed for pleasing God. If you are not being filled by God through His Word with His truth—then you are being filled with counterfeit truth, not from God, nor pleasing Him. Loving the world (anything that doesn’t please God) is the sure road to confusion, corruption, and emptiness. That is how Satan the counterfeiter confuses your emotions, desires, and affections. 12. Satan the original idolater and covetous one (as he is revealed in Isaiah 14:13-14 For you have said in your heart: ‘I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will also sit on the mount of the congregation On the farthest sides of the north; 14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High.’ [He coveted what wasn’t his but God’s.]) wants to get you drooling over stuff, to the neglect of your family life, church life, and spiritual life—in order to get it; and then he wants to darken you with discouragement once you get it because you will only want more. Is there an endless list in your mind of things you wish you could get, that others have? Like cars, houses, clothes, electronic gear, trips, money, and so on? Do you sit and try to find ways to get those things? Are you willing to sacrifice for them? Do you ever sacrifice time with God, time with the saints gathered at church, time in His Word, time in prayer—in order to get those things? Do the desires for those things sometimes push God right out of your thoughts? If your answer was YES to any of the above, watch out, you may be covetous and an idolater. Idolatry is ANYTHING that takes God’s rightful place in the life of His children. If work, entertainment, money-making, pleasure-seeking, collection-gathering, bodybuilding, beauty-enhancing, and so on have begun to erode God’s place in your life that is idolatry. Satan the original idolater and covetous one wants to make you drool for something other than God so that you begin to slowly neglect God, neglect His Word, neglect His gathered people, neglect memorization of His Word, prayer and other disciplines of a godly life.

One instant after we die, the Valley of Death’s shadow will be behind us. And all that lies before us will be Heaven’s splendors. And Heaven is splendid, Often in our fast-paced lives we have not meditated on all the wonders that God's Word has revealed for us to prepare for this wondrous transition. May I remind you of them? We start by turning to Revelation 3:5 He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life, but I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels. Clothed in white and confessed by Christ! Just think of what a moment that will be! To be taken by the hand of the Lord Jesus, To be led up past the marshaled ranks of the angels, Up along the golden boulevards of glory, Up past the cherubim and the seraphim, Up, up to the throne of God Himself and To hear the Lord Jesus call you by your name and present you in person as His well-beloved! Then to hear the Father say, “Bring the best robe and put it on him.” Just think of it, a robe of white, bright as the day, pure as the light! When the Lord Jesus was transfigured on the mount, something happened not only to His countenance, something happened also to His clothes. His raiment became white as the light. What a reward for faithfulness, to have a robe like that draped around the shoulders and to be invited to walk the shining ways of glory in light-transfigured clothes. The greatest, richest, most powerful of all of history on this planet was not arrayed like one of these. Just think of that!
