Standing Strong in His Grace

Dear Jesus I just want to take the time to say I appreciated all you have done for me through your sacrificial death on that dark and cruel cross.   You didn’t have to do it… but you did.   It makes me sad that you had to die to make this all possible…but you did it without hesitation.  All my love and life I owe to You… Thank you ABBA for your grace and mercy poured out upon all people on this earth.   Draw them and give them a revelation of your divine glory.  For you gave your only son.   I am so grateful to you for redeeming me so I wouldn’t have to die.   For Jesus has already been on that cross and already experienced my destruction in the grave.  He already died once for all creation.   For in Adam we have died already, but through Christ we have been made alive through that glorious resurrection by the power of your Holy Spirit.   Yes God has already done it all through the power of His Spirit.    For He has already seated us in heavenly places in Jesus.   He has given us a hop

Do you feel as if you are being religious and not experiencing the anointing of the Holy Spirit?   Or are you not displaying the fruit but being dutiful on the outside while you are torn up miserably on the inside? In the Christian context, a modern day “Pharisee” is someone who follows the impulse to be seen as righteous by obeying certain laws, while ignoring more important matters of the heart. A Pharisee pays a great deal of time and attention to outward ordinances and actions that would make them appear righteous, but they are not as concerned with what is actually in their own hearts… Jesus referred to the Pharisees as hypocrites because they follow the impulse to be seen as self righteous.  Jesus didn’t like the Pharisees and how they treated other people   He called then out on several occasions… You see in all honesty being Christ-like is way more than having a religious duty. That’s what we call  Pharisee.   I don’t know about you but I do not want people to think I’m a hypoc

FiveMinuteFriday Jesus is not some mystical force or ghostly apparition.   He is just as much a person like you and me.  He was sent to this earth by God and conceived by the Holy Spirit.   He was born as a baby and grew into the anointed Jesus of Nazareth.  He is the Son of God in the Trinity.   Just because you have never seen him in person does not mean that he is not real.   He is a person of the trinity.  He’s separate yet the same God.  We must worship Him in Spirit and in truth.  If we don’t believe that He is the Son of God sent to the earth to redeem us from our sins we are in grave danger of spending eternity in hell.    He took all the blame for our sinful actions.  He became the ultimate scapegoat so that our sins will be wiped away… Heaven and hell is very real!   When we die we will go there!  I want to see you there in heaven… The choice is ultimately yours.  Jesus will come back to this earth some day. I encourage everyone to let Him into your heart and make him Lord.  

My King...  Help me to break through this dark shroud!   This dark cloud… that comes between You and I… I don’t want this wall between us!!!    Help me I pray to be joined as one with Your Spirit.   I confess all my sins…  my own self sufficiency gets in the way of intimacy with Your Presence.    I cannot do this life on my own.   I need your grace and truth to gird me up… I trust you Jesus!! Please lead me drawing me closer to You.  You are my joy and love My grace and peace…

A flower does not get in a hurry.  It takes its time to grow and bloom in beautiful and intrinsic ways. Just like us as believers we do not instantly bloom.  We  may start as a seed.  We want to be in such a hurry but it takes grace to be patient….and trust too.  It takes time and space to grow. Lots of tender loving care.   We shouldn’t worry about blooming for our time will come without one worry how we will turn out … Dear Jesus,  help me I pray to not be in a hurry or to compare my heart to to anyone else for in due time we will flourish and bloom like the red rose 🌹 on a sunny spring day…Amen.

  The power of God is far more greater than anything we have experienced in this life.  Yes even greater than depression or disease or death or the world’s self destruction!!   It is far more vast and wondrous than everything HE has created.   What we experience in this life may “seem” bigger. But he is greater than what have even experienced in our lifetime! We need a deeper revelation of how great God is!  We need a sovereign explosion of His power in our lives to deliver us from all fear!!!   He has not given us a spirit of fear.   Fear makes us see things bigger than they really are. It makes our molehills into mountains.    The devil is out to intimidate us to make us afraid of being defeated.   For he is a coward and full of lies. He wants to give us that same perception.   But we should always see things through the eyes of Jesus Christ!! God is going to test our faith…Do you trust Him to teach you?  Our great ABBA is always quiet in a test.   The only thing about God being our

Jesus is knocking at the door of your heart.  He desires to come in and reside in you. For that to happen we have to die to all selfish sin. We have to identify with his death, burial and resurrection in Jesus.   Jesus is not a dead deity.  He is very much alive today. Only by the power of the Holy Spirit can we be baptized into the very existence of all we are supposed to be in Christ   Jesus paid for our sins upon that cross.  He was the sacrificial lamb that was slaughtered.  It was not a nice thing. He was beaten beyond recognition.  He purchased us with his own precious blood. He was substituted into our place upon that cross.  All of our sins He took upon himself.   He completely obliterated our sins when He died such a cruel death upon that tree! Now we are able to be free of all sin by the atoning work of the precious blood of the lamb.   Hallelujah the veil has been torn! We can approach God through the power of the Holy Spirit enabling us to stand before  ABBA.   We have been
