To live in God’s grace
Let’s pick up the pace
And show of His Love
That comes from above
Let’s tell all we know
Right down here below
Of our God on High
In the sweet by and by
Jim Thomas
Jim's Study in Ephesians 3 Paul is writing to the church at Ephesus and to all believers everywhere, telling of God's power at work in us. As with Paul we are also His designated messengers of the Gospel.
God’s Grace and mystery is revealed through the spirit of Jesus Christ.
“That He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height - to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Amen.” Ephesians 3:16-19
“My own writings”
Jim was one of thousands of men attending “Promise Keepers” meetings in grand coliseums across America. Jim's objective was to always bring along a friend or family members. A Forty-day Prayer Journal was included in the "Promise Keepers" resources, which challenged each one to pray for the “Sacred Assembly” scheduled for Washington DC.
For each day the journal incorporated a Bible verse as well as a space for prayers of …
ADORATION:
"Praise and Thanks to You my Lord for Your Love, I praise Your Holy Name."
CONFESSION:
"Please forgive me of times that I forget You – Help me with my attitude."
THANSGIVING:
"Thank You for my health, my home, family and my job."
SUPPLICATION:
"Help me to be an example at work and to help and guide others."
Doors weren’t opening for Jim to attend the DC meeting, but through his writings in the Journal and the meetings he attended, God continued to draw him into an "exceedingly abundant" relationship with Himself.
“To live in God’s grace.” It is through God’s grace that I am saved. It is by God’s grace that I am pressing forward in His plans for me as I gather with fellow believers to study God’s Word.

“For by grace you have been saved...it is the gift of God;”
