Walking in the Power of the Holy Spirit of God!
Marvin Patterson
Ephesians 5:18-20
Introduction
We have learned many wonderful things in the Book of Ephesians. If you will remember, Paul is writing this great Epistle from prison in Rome. His only crime is preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ!

On some Swann frozen dinners were the instructions, "Serving suggestion: Defrost."
On a package of Marks and Spencer Bread Pudding were found the words, "Product will be hot after heating."
How about this one? On packaging for a Rowenta iron were the instructions "Do not iron clothes on body."
I like this one. On Boot's Children's cough medicine were the instructions, "Do not drive car or operate machinery." I have always felt we could do a lot to reduce accidents if we kept 5-year-olds off fork lifts.
On Nytol sleep aid were the words, "Warning: may cause drowsiness."
On a Korean kitchen knife were the instructions, "Warning: keep out of children." Not, keep out of reach of children, ...
