The Grace Message

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 given you a grace message, you would not even go there.

Around the year 2000 a vision was given to me of a dove ascending from heaven with a message for me. That was around a time of great turmoil in my life, as well as a message of great deliverance of God's grace.  Yet, the pages started to unfold as the Holy Spirit gave me message after message of His great grace.

For 20 years I have felt and experienced the grace of GOD like I never thought I would....His unconditional healing peace and his forgiveness...His wholeness and deliverance...The nearness of His presence in a way more glorious with each passing day...His love and most importantly HIS grace.....all these things wrapped up in the beauty of Jesus Christ.

But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, 5 even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), 6 and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 7 so that in the ages to come He might show the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; 9 not as a result of works, so that no one may boast.  Ephesians 2:4-9

Did you get that? Its not a result of working religiously to get into heavens gates. We can only boast in His works not ours...Jesus has done it all on the cross.  Grace is the gift that flows through His temples giving us complete salvation.  We are the sanctuary that His Spirit of Grace flows though and pours out of us like rivers of living water.  

I don't claim to know it all. I am not a great teacher, but I do know this much...we need to be praying for a true revelation of GOD'S great grace.  Its much more than divine favor... but in reality of tapping into God's riches that HE lavished upon our lives in Christ Jesus!
