Standing Strong in His Grace

  “When you say that a situation or a person is hopeless, you are slamming the door in the face of God.” This is a quote from Charles L. Allen that I posted back years ago on Facebook. Instead of just re-sharing the quote I felt lead to write a blog post about it. What is God speaking and are you really listening? What would Jesus do?” There have been times in my life where I know for a fact that “people” slammed the door in my face and gave up on me. They seen me as a hopeless case, a lost cause… that I would never amount to anything or change or even you might say ‘grow up!’ For me though, change started where?  In my mind…It looks many years to be transformed by the renewing of my mind by the Word of God….what does that mean you say??  I finally allowed God to redefine me.  I grew up to the point that I didn’t care what people thought, but….this is the important part of this whole message…. “I made the choice and decided to think about what God thought about me MORE THAN what even o

  I could never write about something I have not experienced myself. In all of my fiction and nonfiction writings there is something I cannot get away from and that is a ray of truth and that truth is Jesus Christ. I love HIM more now that ever. Before I get heavily involved with what happened this morning I want to tell you about a awesome devotional called First15. This morning and for the next several days, the author is speaking on ways to hear the voice of GOD speak to you. The first in this weekly series is called GOD SPEAKS. First15 has a free app in the app store that you can download directly on your IPhones. I have it on my phone and you can get alerts or notifications that will let you know when its ready for you on that day. I love this app. But this morning when I read it….ahh lets just say I will never be the same!!! There is a section in the app called PRAYER time. Just a tid bit here for all you nice and wonderful readers. Here are the three points of focus in listening

I wrote a post several weeks ago on our Spiritual Mantles. I would encourage you to read part 1 of that post: https://standingstronginhisgrace.blogspot.com/2020/08/spiritual-mantles-part-one.html I believe that the Holy Spirit just revealed to me about my own mantle....That spiritual covering I have experienced in His Presence is the grace of GOD.  I have read a lot of readings about our spiritual mantles and that we carry on the mantles of our spiritual mentors. I have looked to GOD my Father through His Holy Spirit. I have not really had a mentor in the faith. Yet the Holy Spirit has been my teacher...rightly so...the way it should be!!! I do believe I have been called to be a prophet of His grace by proclaiming the grace of God through my writings right now and who knows the future work of the call that He may have me to do. I humbly submit to GOD and allow His Holy Spirit to give me the words to write for the glory of Jesus Christ!!  What about you? Have you felt the unction of you

Though out the new Testament it talks of the grace of God.  But what exactly does this word mean and how does it apply to us? In Luke 2, it even says that Jesus grew in the grace of God. If Jesus grew up in the grace of God so can we and our children as well.  I believe we can grow in grace that our holy Father extends to us each day. I have come to believe that it means much more than just the favor of GOD. And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of  grace  and truth. John 1:14 There just seems to me that something even more glorious about the grace of GOD. something more than a simple definition...something very supernatural about the grace of GOD that can fill us up and give us assess and bring us before the maker of heaven and earth in the Most Holy Place!!! So many people cheapen grace and wash it down using grace as a excuse to get away with sin.  If you only saw grace like I do, if God has truly giv
