Speak With Seasoned Grace.

Speak With Seasoned Grace. We always want to hear what His grace has been doing in you. What He has done that makes you so grateful. But season it, make it palatable to the hearer, easily received. Always having a graceful and acceptable way of glorifying Him. (Colossians 4:6)

Grace In Your Heart.

Grace In Your Heart. Let the Word dwell - don't do anything yourself, just let it happen, let it dwell. You can do all these things, with grace in your heart. Being continually thankful brings continuing grace. What do we say when people compliment us on Grace Christian Centre? We say - God has been good to us. What do you say when people thank you for helping them? Give Him the glory because of His grace. (Colossians 3:16)

Minister Your Gift.

Minister Your Gift. How many believers have received a gift of the Spirit? Everyone has - Now minister it to one another. Bless others with your gift. Show people that God's grace has many ways to bless them. Remember, we are just stewards of His grace. Not the owners or providers. (1 Peter 4:10)

The Lord Performs His Word.

The Lord Performs His Word. If you believe that you can do what the Bible says you can do, then Father has to bear witness to His word and make it happen. If you believe that His healing power works through you. It will. If you believe He will give you the words to speak. He will. Signs and wonders by grace. (Acts 14:3)

His Grace Does It All.

His Grace Does It All.

Look at Paul’s humble reaction.

We can only be and do what His grace empowers us to do.

Even when we try hard to get it right, it is still His grace doing it.

(1 Corinthians 15:9-10)

God Resists Pride.

God Resists Pride.

Don't put yourself in a position where God will resist you by being prideful.

He wants to give you more grace but you will receive nothing. 

Stay humble and receive it all.

(James 4:6)

Paul’s Thorn In The Flesh.

Paul’s Thorn In The Flesh.

The Lord didn't sort it out for him. 

Paul had sufficient grace to sort it.

He said - you do it Paul, you have My name, My authority, My power, My grace.

Grace - His strength and ability for you to be what you are not.

It is very sad to see people who refuse to admit their weakness.

In them, the grace and strength of God will never appear.

They boldly proclaim that they can do it. Yet we can see they can't.

Pride will put you in this negative place.

Humility says - without Him I nothing.

(2 Corinthians 12:7-10)

We Have All Grace.

We Have All Grace. 

All means all, nothing missing, nothing broken.

His grace brings us all we need and then provides an abundance to meet the needs of others. Always. 

(2 Corinthians 9:6-9)

Grace Through Jesus.

Grace Through Jesus. 

When we receive Jesus we receive the fulness of His grace.

v16 Can read grace upon grace. Grace without limits.

All the grace we experience comes through Jesus.

Father just keeps giving and giving.

There was law once, now there is grace.

(John 1:14-17)

His Word Of Grace.

His Word Of Grace. He is the God of all grace who sits on a throne of grace speaking words of grace. This word of grace will build you up and cause you to inherit all that Jesus bought by His sacrifice. If you want to build someone up, what better way than by speaking the Word to them. Speaking the word brings grace into the life of the hearer. (Acts 20:32)

New Revelation on Psalm 23.

New Revelation on Psalm 23. If goodness and mercy are following you........ You must be moving. Keep moving Christians, goodness and mercy are chasing you down to bless you.

His Throne Of Grace.

His Throne Of Grace. He is the God of all grace who sits on a throne of grace. Where we can come boldly because He loves us. At the throne of grace we receive mercy and grace to help us. Mercy is when we do not get what we do deserve when we have sinned. We are forgiven. (Hebrews 4:15-16)

The God Of All Grace.

The God Of All Grace.

He is not just the God of grace, but the God of all grace.

He is the author of all the blessings of grace, for by grace we are:

Chosen, accepted, adopted, forgiven, reborn.

Without His grace, we are not worthy to receive anything of Him. But we have His grace and that makes us worthy to receive.

By grace we are perfected, established, strengthened, and settled.

(1 Peter 5:10)

So what is grace?

So what is grace?

Something that gives joy, pleasure, delight, sweetness, charm, loveliness.

Grace is a blessing or a free gift. It is unmerited love and favour.

Grace is when we do get what we don't deserve or earn.

We have earned nothing we receive from Jesus. 

(1 Peter 5:10)

Grace

Part of today's message was a poem the Lord gave me. 

Grace. 

By the Holy Spirit- through Stephen Wood. 

His grace is there in our hour of need.

And the needs of others as we intercede.

Grace flies from us when we walk in greed.

That grace that caused our Lord to bleed.

His sacrifice has brought this grace

As if we stood there, face to face

Before His throne, that Holy place

Where we receive His love embrace.

His gift of grace has brought us near

So close to love and far from fear

It gives us strength and joy so dear

That word of grace that speaks so clear. 

As we by grace our life outlive

So now we have this grace to give

That shows to others we forgive

And brings them grace so they can live

The Word Of Jesus Is Final Authority

The Word Of Jesus Is Final Authority.

They knew that what He said would come to pass.

When Jesus says it, no other authority is required, it is done.

When Jesus' word says that you are healed, that is it.

When He says that He will supply all your needs, that is it.

When He says that you are loved and accepted by Him, that is it.

(Luke 4:32)

Speak To The Mountain.

Speak To The Mountain.

Jesus is encouraging us to speak the desired result.

Instead of just speaking the problem, hoping it will sort itself.

Don't speak to God about the mountain, speak to the mountain about God. 

We just have to be believing without any doubt about it.

Believe that it happens when you say it.

The Holy Spirit is still hovering, waiting for His word from your mouth.

(Mark 11:22-24).

Jesus is encouraging us to speak the desired result.

Instead of just speaking the problem, hoping it will sort itself.

Don't speak to God about the mountain, speak to the mountain about God. 

We just have to be believing without any doubt about it.

(Mark 11:22-24)

t’s Your Turn With The Power.

It’s Your Turn With The Power.

Jesus is now seated in heaven, He has done His part.

Now it is up to you, the Holy Spirit is still hovering, waiting to hear the Word of Jesus.

When you speak The Word, the power from the Holy Spirit brings it to pass.

Go for it.

(Hebrews 1:3)

The Word Of His Power.

The Word Of His Power.

Jesus upholds all things by the word of His power.

Not the power of His word.

The power is there always, everything is made through Him.

Electricity is always there at home, but the light does not come on until you use the switch.

His word is the switch that brings the power where its needed.

(Hebrews 1:3)

The Word of God.

The Word of God. 

Jesus is called - The Word of God. 

He was there in the beginning and everything was made by Him and through Him.

If He needs you to have something that doesn't exist yet, He will create it.

The Word of God brings things into existence.

(1 John 1:1-3)

In The Beginning.

In The Beginning. People have questioned these verses and said, how could the earth be without form and void if God had just created it? The earth was like a lump of clay that the potter had just thrown. The Holy Spirit hovered, waiting for God's word so He could do it. Whatever God said, was instantly manifest - by the Holy Spirit. (Genesis 1:1-3)

It’s a New Year.

It’s a New Year. Why not take every opportunity you can to seed the Word of God deeply into your heart? Why not get filled up with His good plans and good thoughts towards you? Allow yourself to imagine, to dream, and to envision His good plans for your life. God loves you and created you to have a vision of something bigger than just “today.” This New Year, decide that you will create your future with faith—you will not be deterred by fear. Remind yourself that you have “ears to hear” the Word and the still small voice of the Lord. You are a believer of His Word—tell yourself that you are turning up your “faith-dial” in 2015! Let your future hear your voice—speak life! Tell yourself that your future is where you’re going; it’s not where you’ve been! Jesse Duplantis - Voice of The Covenant magazine January 2015.

He never leaves us.

He never leaves us. Fear is defeated by us having power, love and a sound mind. If we can get it into our minds that He will never leave us. We will be able to make statements of faith like: "The Lord is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?" We can step out into this new way for 2015 without fear. Any time fear tries to come our way, we can trust in Jesus. He brings us the power. He loves us. His word in our mouth defeats fear. (Hebrews 13:5-6)

Love Perfected.

Love Perfected. Fear is defeated by us having power, love and a sound mind. Love HAS been perfected among us. Just believe it. We are as Jesus is - is He free from fear? Then so are we. Love itself cast out fear. That's why we need to know we're loved. Love Himself will not allow fear to stay in our lives. If you still fear, you need to work on seeing yourself as loved. Then work on loving others. (1 John 4:17-18)

Trust brings power.

Trust brings power. As we trust in each word from The Lord, fear is defeated. We have the power to speak to fear and it will flee from us. Leaving us with a sound mind. (2 Timothy 1:6-7)

Following The Way.

Following The Way. The problem is that we find new ways scary. Not sure if we have all the right information. Not sure if we can trust completely. There is always a "What if" lurking in the background. All of that can be summed up in one word - fear. So if God has not given us fear, it must come from the devil. Fear is the principle evil spirit that must be defeated. It is defeated by us being given power, love and a sound mind. (2 Timothy 1:6-7)

What Is Jesus To You?

What Is Jesus To You? Buddhists spend their lives seeking the path of enlightenment. Jesus said - I am the way. Muslims seek knowledge so they can tell others about it. Jesus said - I am the truth. Hindus seek the meaning to life. Jesus said - I am the life. So when we receive Jesus we get the way, the truth and the life. (John 14:1-6)
