The Higher Place (3 of 7)

Ephesians 1:1-3

He has already blessed us. He is not going to bless us. He has already blessed us. Just a little bit? No! He has blessed with a few spiritual blessings? No! He has blessed with every spiritual blessing! But those spiritual blessings are in the spirit realm. They are in the heavenly places in Christ! Let me explain. It is like what I was telling you last week. There is a natural realm and a spirit realm. Most of the ...
