Ephesians 3:9

Also to enlighten all men and make plain to them what is the plan [regarding the Gentiles and providing for the salvation of all men] of the mystery kept hidden through the ages and concealed until now in [the mind of] God Who created all things by Christ Jesus. Ephesians 3:9

Paul was chosen by our Father to reveal the mystery which is that salvation has been provided to all men, not just some men, but all men. That was a mystery that was hidden before Jesus’ sacrifice, but now it is to be revealed. Our Father also wants all men, not just some men, to be enlightened with the Truth, because it is the Truth that sets us all free. So what super natural power has our Father given those of us who have been called to share the Truth?

That they all may be one, [just] as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be one in Us, so that the world may believe and be convinced that You have sent Me. I have given to them the glory and honor which You have given Me, that they may be one [even] as We are one: I in them and You in Me, in order that they may become one and perfectly united, that the world may know and [definitely] recognize that You sent Me and that You have loved them [even] as You have loved Me. John 17:21-23

The power that we have been given so that we may be used to set all men free is that we are one with God, just as Jesus is One with God. We also have the exact same glory that Jesus has. There is nothing that Jesus possesses that we are not one with. As Jesus is, so are we in this world, 1 John 4:17. This is the Truth that sets us free to be used by our Father enlighten all men. There is no separation at all between us and God! 

If your experiences are anything like mine, religion has tried to tell you that our Father is so loving that He has given us free will to chose or not chose Him. Is that Love? Jesus tells us that the Kingdom is as little children and would it be love if I would allow my little children to decide what was best for them? If I did that and they were harmed I would be arrested and thrown in jail for child endangerment. The Truth is so much greater and it is that Jesus was so successful that all people are going to bow their knees and all people will confess that Jesus is Lord, and all of us are going to spend eternity with our Father, as is His will. 

I believe that the sign of the end times will be when our Father begins to truly give us the absolute knowledge that we are one with Him as Jesus is. I talk about it and share the scriptures that teach it a lot, but I would be lying if I said that I have absolute assurance with this Truth. When our Father does empower us though with the absolute assurance, the Gospel of the Kingdom will be preached everywhere and the works that Jesus did, and even greater ones, will begin to be performed all around the world. 

All men will be enlightened because our Father is Love and Love covers a multitude of sins.
