Taste and See - God Is Able - Eph. 3:20-21

This is “Namma for Christ” with the one hundred sixty-ninth inspirational message dated Monday, August 31st, 2020.  The title of this message is, “Taste and See – God Is Able – Eph. 3:20-21”.  “Taste and See” or also known as “Psalm 34” by The Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir is a song that I first heard while – while scrolling through “You Tube”.   The Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir has created the inspiring lyrics of this song - from using the "actual verses" of Psalm 34. I love how the two young men (who lead this song) of The Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir sing this song/video (with lyrics) with so much heart and feeling. The title of this message also contains the text of the associated scripture for this message from Ephesians 3:20 (which describes that “GOD IS ABLE”)-

 

The below scripture is what the Apostle Paul wrote in the 20^th and the 21st verses of the 3rd chapter of Ephesians:

 

Ephesians 3:20-21

New King James Version (NKJV)

²⁰ Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, ²¹ to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

 

The supporting scriptures that precede these verses are provided below – as taken from Ephesians 3:14-19th –

 

Ephesians 3:14-19

New King James Version (NKJV)

¹⁴ For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, ¹⁵ from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, ¹⁶ that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, ¹⁷ that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, ¹⁸ may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height— ¹⁹ to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

 

 

The title of this message also includes the words – “God Is Able” – which is the title of the Charles Stanley Daily Devotional for (8/31/20) – which I have included below:

 

GOD IS ABLE

Eph. 3:20-21

By Charles Stanley

 

 

Jesus knew what it was like to live with limited resources, to have others question His actions (Mark 3:21), and to be rejected by those He sought to serve (John 6:66). Yet in spite of such opposition, He didn’t let circumstances affect His trust in the Father.

We’re called to follow Jesus’ example by believing that God is able to do what He’s promised. For instance, Hebrews 7:25 assures salvation for whoever requests forgiveness in the name of Jesus—His death on the cross satisfied the demands of divine justice for all our sins. God will pardon everybody who has genuine faith in His Son and will make each one a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17). No matter what trouble someone may have caused, the Lord invites that person to draw near in faith and receive the gift of everlasting life.

God also promises to establish in truth everyone who trusts in Him (Rom. 16:25). Through His Spirit and the Word, we start to see things as our Father does, which helps us understand what pleases Him.

By believing God keeps His promises, we grow stronger in our faith and gain peace. Hardships that would once have thrown us off course lose their power. Hope replaces discouragement, and trust overcomes doubt. Next time trouble comes, focus on God’s promises and ability to care for you.

 Also note that the title of the song/video “Psalm 34” (“Taste and See”) by the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir comes from a verse in Psalm 34 verse 8 – as provided below:

Psalm 34:8

New King James Version (NKJV)

⁸ Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good;
Blessed is the man who trusts in Him!

 

May “you” (if you haven’t already)  “TASTE AND SEE” that “GOD IS ABLE” – to do what you cannot do –

“TRUST AND BELIEVE IN JESUS:

 

Ephesians 3:20- 21 reminds us -

 

²⁰ Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, ²¹ to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

 

 

Please enjoy the above song, “Taste and See” or also known as “Psalm 34” by The Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir -  (with lyrics) performed with power and anointing.
