Eph-80-81 - 38 Pt 2 _Ephesians 6:18 - 24
Closing of the 1980-81 Ephesians Corps Teachings. August 5, 1981 Take your Bibles and go to Ephesians chapter six, please. It hasn' t been very often that I've had to stand at a teaching platform to teach Ephesians to the Corps. But I'm blessed to be able to do this tonight.

Also, as we cover Ephesians 4:28 tonight, I had all the information in front of me from another article that Walter Cummins has in the... has had in the Magazine. The first article on Ephesians 4:25 is entitled "The Spoken Word." The one on Ephesians 4:28 is "Workers for God." Both of these pieces of work by Walter are absolutely superb. And I believe that they should appear and will appear in our research journal GMIR whenever we begin publishing that. {GMIR Aramaic word meaning ' to perfect, accomplish , mature, complete, arithmetically to be divisible without any remainder.} And I noticed again that some of the things
