Love you all, praying for you,
I just love God’s Word. It gives not just a verse on truth. It gives multiple verses on truth, so you can fully understand what it is, why it’s important, how to get it, how it applies, how to keep it. God doesn’t just give you a little, He gives you the whole thing, the whole understanding… if you will search for it. He who asks receives, He who seeks finds, and to him who knocks, the door will be opened. Praying that PRISM every day – has you unlocking, and unfolding, and walking in the truth that will set you free. So what is the gift that keeps on giving? One of the greatest gifts, and mysteries of God… Grace. The gift that keeps on giving. You can’t overcome without it. James 4:6 – But He gives more grace. That is why Scripture says, “God opposes the proud, (resists the proud), but gives grace (shows favor) to the humble. Grace is a positional thing, a conditional thing. If you are not humble, you don’t get grace, God resists you. Good luck with that. His power – no one can contend with, no one can overcome and no one can withstand. That’s why you need it on your side. Grace – Unmerited favor, Divine power. Undeserved favor, unlimited power. Grace is for salvation and overcoming. Your eternal salvation – that changes you from darkness to light, from sinful to saved, purified, justified – just as if it never happened. That is the greatest miracle ever – for God to translate you from the kingdom of darkness (what your sins deserve), into the kingdom of life (that Jesus paid for, for you). To take you from a place where your sin deserved death and eternal separation from God, to a place where you are considered Holy and acceptable in his sight, qualified (not by what you did, but by the gift of Jesus death on the cross in your place) to live forever in heaven with God. Through the only door, the only way to the Father in heaven – through faith in Son – Jesus. That is the power of grace and the greatest miracle ever! And that same power that saved you – is available to help you overcome – any obstacle, any temptation – it’s favor you don’t deserve, and it’s power that’s unstoppable – if you choose to receive it and use it and overcome with it. Some people don’t use it, it’s there but they don’t take it. God doesn’t make you, but He makes His grace available, if you humbly through faith receive it. How come some people can overcome mountains in their life? Why can some people endure the deepest trials and come out with complete victory, joyful, and stronger – all the way through them, and coming out of the storm – on the other side. It’s grace – that favor and power that saves you. It requires humility and faith and a choice to use it. Jonah 2:8 – “Those who cling to worthless idols, forfeit the grace that could have been theirs.” They don’t walk in humility or use their faith to choose, receive and walk in the favor and power God has for them. Ephesians 2:8-9 – For by grace are you saved, through faith, and even that doesn’t come from you, it is the gift of God, not by works (anything you do), otherwise men would boast. Praying that you will review the PRISM Topics – Humility and Humble, and the Relationship Topic – How To Be Humble, and that you will review the PRISM Topic – Faith. The power of God’s Word on humility and faith – is what positions you for His grace, and what activates it in your life. The more grace you have, the less mercy you need. First you must be saved. That is the first work of Grace. Praying that you will review the Relationship Topic – Salvation First. Overcoming anything on earth won’t help you if you die and are eternally separate from God. Then be filled with the Holy Spirit – it’s Who the power of grace flows through. It’s how you get power to live the life of an overcomer. Are you facing a mountain? Are you going through a valley? Are you facing temptation? Are you struggling to love the unlove-able, the underserving? Have you been wronged or betrayed? Do you need strength to persevere? You need Grace. With God’s grace – He will get you though this, not just surviving but victorious, not just barely, but with flying colors. He gives grace to the humble, but He even gives you grace to be humble. Rom 12:3. It’s grace that helps you resist the devil, and its grace that gives you every good thing. Titus 2:11 – For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. It trains us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age. Psalms 84:11 – For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from those who walk uprightly. Zechariah 4:7 – Who are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become a plain: and he will bring forth the capstone with shouts of “Grace, grace” to it. John 1:14 – and the Word came in human form, and lived among us (and we saw His glory, the glory of the only Son of the Father) full of grace and truth… For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. Acts 4:33 – And with great power the apostles gave witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all. So what do you need grace for? A mountain, a task, an enduring, a victory? God will give you more grace. It’s the gift that keeps on giving. It’s more power than you will ever need, and its what you don’t deserve. He gives it to the humble, they receive it through faith. And the more time you spend in His Word – the more you will know and see and walk - in His grace. Love you all, dad
