Paul who wrote the book of Ephesians is one of the prison epistles. He was continously thrown in jail for sharing and preaching the love of Christ. He was a staunch Jewish leader who despised Christians until God knocked him off his high horse. He had a supernatural encounter with Christ and began a personal relationship with God the Father through Jesus (Read Acts Chapter 9)

“All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ. Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes”.
Ephesians1:3-4.NLT

  1. Paul realized that the works of the law could not save him.
  2. He help lead the charge to persecute believers in Christ Jesus. Stephen was stoned and matryed. If this is the type of religion that cares or gets you to heaven then you are deceived. If you have no joy of the Lord in your life perhaps there may be some hatred or prejudice in your heart. Notice Paul’s joy was now from within. The joy he experienced was not due to circumstances or what was going on around him. He was experiencing every spiritual blessing in Christ Jesus.
    In Philippians while in jail he said to “rejoice in the Lord always, again I say say rejoice”. Phil. 4:4
    Paul now understood the heavenly perspective and goal in the present and future of his life.
  3. Only God can change the heart, if we allow him to do this. Forgiveness is a powerful release and experience.

“He is so rich in kindness and grace that he purchased our freedom with the blood of his Son and forgave our sins”.
Eph 1:7 NLT

  1. God loved us and chose us before we decided to follow and serve Him. We are united with Jesus, once we believe in faith to trust him for salvation. Eph.1:4
    “You have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, that you may go and bear much fruit” John 16:15

“If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved”.
Romans 10:9-10

This is the beginning of every spiritual blessing in Christ Jesus. The joy we crave is discovered in the Lord. There is real spritual warfare in the heavenly realms to rob you of every spritual blessing and victory!

What battles are you facing today my friend. Have you been robbed of the true joy the Lord desires to give to you by His Holy Spirit?

I want to encourage you and declare to claim back your inheritance in Jesus! Allow him to do the work in your life and family.

Stop being robbed of what God wants for you, even in spite of circumstances that are out of your control. Surrender everything that is a hindrance and trust God has everything under control. As Paul reminds us to rejoice in the Lord always, again I say rejoice”.
Have a joyful weekend my friend.

Greetings! My name is Andy Provitola and I live in New England on the South Shore between Boston and the beautiful Cape Cod region. The purpose of my blogging and writing is to encourage you in your journey here on planet earth. Life is full of pressing issues and problems and my desire is to discover a place for peace, hope, healing, and contentment. I am a follower of Jesus Christ – God’s one and only Son and I discovered these truths along my own personal journey. Having discovered a personal relationship with God the Father through Jesus Christ does not mean I have to be religious to attain the rewards of heaven. The fact is God provides grace for us and accepts us as we are in His image. In other words, we cannot attain heaven or life eternal on our own, but by God’s loving grace and no merit of our own. Simply by accepting Him by faith and believing. My goal is to continue to find a balance of life from a spiritual and practical perspective with a purpose to please and glorify God in all that I do because of His ‘Gift of Grace’. God is not transcendent and so far away that he is out of reach with humanity. God desires that His presence lives within us and not just in the galaxies and the universe. Experiencing the unconditional love of God has been so rewarding and while discovering the truth and purpose for my life. Moving forward in this life is not a sprint, but a marathon when it comes to this race here on earth. I am blogging because I find it is a good way to connect in a much more effective and efficient way when it comes to communicating and interacting with people that I know or do not know. Blogging and writing challenges me and also stretches me specifically in my thoughts, my mind, my emotions, and my spiritual life. To live a vertical relation with God and a horizontal relationship with others. There will be a variety of topics and subjects to address including youth, young adults, family, singles, seniors, relationships, etc. Some of the topics will include God’s creation and power, depression, loneliness, suicide, hope, healing, setbacks, financial matters, business, stress, anxiety, care, encouragement, and so much more. I would like to connect with all walks of life, ethnicity, culturally, other religions, socio-economics, and in so many more ways. I am currently writing a book and several memoirs about my own life and journey . The journey begins at a young age growing up in Malden, Massachusetts, specifically Maplewood Square to where I am today. I became paralyzed from the waist down as a senior in high school and I share how my life changed for the better! “But I do not consider my life as something of value or dear to me, so that I may [with joy] finish my course and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus. To testify faithfully of the good news of God’s [precious undeserved] grace [which makes us free of guilt of sin and grants us eternal life]. Acts 20:24 Amplified Version
