Ephesians 1:11

n Him we also were made [God’s] heritage (portion) and we obtained an inheritance; for we had been foreordained (chosen and appointed beforehand) in accordance with His purpose, Who works out everything in agreement with the counsel and design of His [own] will, Ephesians 1:11

Because of Jesus, because of His success we are now one with God. We were chosen before the world ever was. We were foreordained, we are not just just ordained, we were chosen before anything ever was. God had a purpose for us before He ever said let there be light. Our Father worked everything out for us before He ever took clay and formed man. It was God’s will that you an I be one with Him. He knew how He was going to make us and He prearranged the paths that we were going to take before the Universe was. It couldn’t have been any other way, because nothing can be that our Father is not causing to be.

For it was in Him that all things were created, in heaven and on earth, things seen and things unseen, whether thrones, dominions, rulers, or authorities; all things were created and exist through Him [by His service, intervention] and in and for Him. Colossians 1:16

Our Father is not a man, He is a Spirit. He is omnipotent, which means that He is everywhere. There is not place that His Spirit is not and His Spirit controls all things. Nothing can be if our Father is not controlling it and allowing it to be. 

I have had people say that this Truth makes us puppets. We are not puppets, we are God’s body. We are flesh of God’s flesh and bone of His bone. Is my hand a puppet to my head? No, it is one with me and it enjoys everything that I have and am. This is how we are, one with our Father, chosen to serve the world. Chosen to bless those who curse us, feed those who hate us, and pray for those who come against us. We were created to forgive the sins of the people in the Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus. We have been chosen to be the greatest servants, which means that we have been chosen to be great in the Kingdom of Heaven.

And I will put my Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you shall heed My ordinances and do them. Ezekiel 36:27

It is a reason for pride and exultation to which our conscience testifies that we have conducted ourselves in the world [generally] and especially toward you, with devout and pure motives and godly sincerity, not in fleshly wisdom but by the grace of God (the unmerited favor and merciful kindness by which God, exerting His holy influence upon souls, turns them to Christ, and keeps, strengthens, and increases them in Christian virtues). 2 Corinthians 1:12

O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps. Jeremiah 10:23

It’s not in us to direct our own steps, isn’t that great? That means that all of the burden of success is on our Father and He is really successful.
