This morning God brought to my attention Ephesians 3:11-13. These are very powerful verses, and although I was familiar with them, I took time to study them again–and then memorized them. Paul writes: : “…so that the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known through the church to the rulers and the authorities in the heavenly places, in accordance with the eternal purpose which He carried out in Christ Jesus our Lord, in whom we have boldness and confident access through faith in Him.”

Manifold in Greek: polupoikilos–multi-faceted, many colored, ultra diverse with a multitude of expressions/manifestations.

How is the multi-faceted, greatly manifested wisdom of God made known? Through US, the church, Christ’s ekklesia. And to whom do we make this known? To the rulers and authorities in the heavenly places–Satan’s demonic army. Ephesians 2:6 tells us we are seated with Christ in the heavenly places. Ephesians 1:20-21 tells us Christ, after His resurrection, was seated at the right hand of Father God in the heavenly places, far above all rule, authority, power, and dominion. Taken together, these verses in Ephesians proclaim our authority as co-heirs with Christ. We are positioned with Christ to rule.

This subject is clearly on God’s mind for us today. After memorizing Ephesians 3:11-13, I turned to reading all of God’s words to me from today’s date–the third–of each month over the past five years. (Every day I read His words from that day’s date in order to steward His words well, as He has called me to do.) For the first time I noticed how often He spoke on the third of various months on this topic of the ekklesia rising to our authority. In one entry I even noted this same passage in Ephesians. And all of these words to us speak of God’s glory coming. The entry from July 3, 2025 particularly stood out to me. I have reposted it below.

There has been a major shift in the Spirit since Charlie Kirk’s death. That tragic event was indeed a Turning Point for America. Church–ekklesia–God is calling us to rise up in our authority and bring down Satan’s self-appointed reign over this nation. America is GOD’S nation. Satan CAN’T HAVE IT.

Word from the Lord, July 3, 2025:

“I WILL RESTORE ALL.

“What does it mean for Me to restore all? Restoration in your language means to bring something old, something fallen to ruin, back to its original state of beauty and ability to perform. Is this what I mean by restore? It is not – for I mean EVEN MORE than bringing back to original state.

“I ask you this: is Man – restored to Me – what he was originally in the garden?

“Adam, my friend, knew Me as his Friend and his God. He loved Me and worshiped Me and walked with Me daily. He knew no sin. He carried his glory, the glory in which I made mankind. Then he sinned, and his glory was lost. And all creation fell with him. In the interim between his sin and my sending My Son to redeem mankind, I provided for sin to be expiated through the blood of animals. Through the shed Blood of My Son, the Perfect Lamb, I extended to Man the ability to be completely restored to Me. His sins covered forever. His Authority which I originally gave him restored to him. My redeemed People are washed in My Son’s Blood – and become a New Creation. NEW. Not merely restored to before. But NEW – as in never seen before. I tell you this, My People. This New Man, walking with Me, is better than Adam. For Adam knew Me as his God, but you know Me – My Son – as your REDEEMER. You know Me as a God who sent His Son To DIE for you. This is a KNOWING of My Love that Adam never knew.

“What remains is the returning of the glory in which Adam walked. You shall walk in such Glory, My People. One day your body itself will be glorified once again. Before that day, you SHALL LIVE IN MY GLORY. This restored AUTHORITY has been yours since the spilling of My Son’s Blood. My disciples walked and lived in that Glory. They established My ekklesia in that Glory. But sinful ways infiltrated My church – until My Glory could shine through it no more. MY KINGDOM ON EARTH RESTORES MY GLORY TO MY PEOPLE.

“This is what I now call you to. Rise up, follow Me wholeheartedly and unequivocally – and My Glory shall fall and rest upon you. My ekklesia shall be ALL I have always called you to be. You will walk in all Authority against evil. You will say to evil, ‘You shall not come here’ – and it will not. You shall declare, ‘You are healed’ – and see it done. You shall declare the dead to live – and it shall be so. This is My Promise of the Ages for ALL My People who give themselves to Me without qualification, without hindrance. Your God shall live IN you and THROUGH you – and the world will shake before you.

“For this reason, My People, I call and call you to give Me your ALL. For without your ALL dedicated to Me, you cannot carry the weight of My Glory. Only sinlessness can carry My Glory, and only I can keep you sinless and HOLY.

“Turn your eyes toward Me, My People. Declare these promises over your life. And prepare yourselves before Me. For My Glory is about to fall over the Earth. My People will rise in My Glory. And those who continue to refuse Me will fall indeed. This is my WORD to you. My RESTORATION as defined by Me.

“In the Name of Almighty God, Amen.”

Notes:

Our expiation – John 1:29: The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!”

Our newness – II Corinthians 5:17: Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come. [“New” in Greek=kainos, which doesn’t mean “new in age as opposed to old,” but means: “new in quality (innovation), fresh in development or opportunity – because “not found exactly like this before.”

Our authority – Ephesians 1:20-21, 2:4-6: …[God] raised Christ from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come…God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us,even when we were dead in our wrongdoings, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus.

Matthew 6:9-10: “Pray, then, in this way: ‘Our Father, who is in heaven, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven…”

Daniel 7:27: And the kingdom and the dominion and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven shall be given to the people of the saints of the Most High; his kingdom shall be an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.

Revelation 5:9-10: And they sang a new song, saying, “Worthy are You to take the scroll and to break its seals; for You were slaughtered, and You purchased people for God with Your blood from every tribe, language, people, and nation. You have made them into a kingdom and priests to our God, and they will reign upon the earth.”

Isaiah 60:1-3: Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you. For behold, darkness will cover the earth and deep darkness the peoples; But the Lord will rise upon you and His glory will appear upon you. Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.
