What Is Jesus Doing in Heaven? (The Body of Christ Part 3) Continued

   This is a picture of my studio. It's kind of cramped and I seem to have little time to spend there. See that pine door? It needs to be finished and installed in the kitchen, and there's a roll of flooring on the floor which needs to be installed in the porch. There's lots to be done around the house. I have lots of ideas for my art and I hope to share them and document their progress through this blog. To make art is my heart's desire. God placed that desire there, and that's why I'm asking him to make me a full time professional artist.

   Jesus is running his church from heaven, but we're not a bunch of robots. Each of us has a free will. He wants us to "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you" (Matthew 7:7). 

   Here's a passage from Ephesians 1:18-23 which give us a peek into the spiritual realm. This is Paul speaking, and I'm going to interject a few comments in red: "I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know [the Greek word for know, eido, means to actually perceive with the eyes, or by any of the senses. In other words, it means to observe the same way a scientist would, empirically. So in other, other words, according to this passage, we can actually observe "the hope" (read on)] the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparable power for us who believe [we, as believers, can actually observe (with our eyes and other senses) the afore mentioned hope, riches, and power]. That power [emphasis mine] is like the working of his mighty strength, which he [the glorious Father (verse 17)] exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at at his right hand in the heavenly realms far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come [This is quite inclusive power]. And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything in the church, which is his body, the fulness of him who fills everything in every way."[So Jesus Christ, The Messiah, the Anointed One, the King of Kings, who said, "If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given to you," has been given the authority by God to "fill everything in every way," in the Body of Christ, of which I am a menber]. 

   If you don't think God only wants to do good things for us, and wants only the very best for us, just start reading the Bible. It's TRUE. And I've got an excellent piece of evidence to substansciate that claim that I will share with you in the near future, eido type evidence.
