bringing

​to life

             Grace does not come to an end after it saves you from your sins and your evil nature. God’s grace continues to work in your life, changing you and your desires. Where does this life changing grace come from and how do we access it?

Acts 20:24 That which I received of the Lord to testify of the Gospel of the grace of God.
 
             God’s Word is Spirit, it’s alive with the grace of God. The Word has the power to change those who hear and do it. When a person accepts Christ as his Savior, he becomes a new creature, but you may not recognize it for awhile. Every convert needs a supply of grace to conform to the image of God’s dear Son. The best place to have this kind of grace should be the local church. The uncompromising Word of God is full of grace, but some  churches water down the word to appeal to marginal Christians.

Jude 1: 4 Some ungodly  preachers have wormed their way into your churches, saying that God’s grace allows us to live immoral lives.
 
            This doctrine has been circulating through the Body of Christ for quite some time now. This doctrine has enabled churches to be filled with people who lay claim to the title of “Christian”. But their fruits reveal a completely different brand of believer. They have taken the revelation of grace and are using it to protect them from God’s judgment. They are only deceiving themselves and there is an abundance of preachers supporting them.
Grace does not protect you from sin, it  empowers you to resist it.
I must question these folks about their seriousness about God and His Word? Christianity is not a game. It’s a matter of eternal life or eternal hell. Too many preachers are too eager to excuse the behavior of people bent on destroying their lives.

2 Timothy 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears.
 
           According to this prophetic word, there will be an abundance of teachers willing to give people what they want to hear. Some folks want God, a church and people who will accept their lusts of the flesh. They want God on their terms and they don’t want to change. If you speak the truth to these people in love, you will be accused of judging them. In other words, “We are just fine, mind your own business, you and God leave us alone.”

           God has given us some wonderful blessings to be the best we can be and to honor His blood sacrifice. If we neglect or misuse these provisions, we will only harm and deprive ourselves of His supernatural power. God’s Word is your lifeline to His blessings. Don’t ever compromise His way of doing things. A personal relationship with Jesus is a terrible thing to waste.

    OFFERING DECLARATION
    Jesus Redeemed me from the curse, no poverty, no lack in my house.

    Wealth and riches in my home, the devil is rebuked for my sake.

    Father daily loads me with benefits, He takes pleasure in my increase.

    I love being redeemed,
    and I give my Lord all the glory.

    ​PRAYER FOCUS
    TAKING INVENTORY
     
    We are about to embark on the greatest adventure and outpouring of God’s Spirit! This month the Holy Spirit is asking us to examine ourselves/take           inventory so as God’s Vessels we can take our part and place in the Body of Christ!
     
    Scriptures to meditate on:
     
    Hebrews 12:1 Therefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily besets us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us.

    Psalm 26:4 Lord you can scrutinize me. Refine my heart and probe my every thought. Put me to the test and you will find it is true.
     
    2 Cor 10:6 It is written, and having a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.

    1 Peter 4:17 For judgement begins at the household of God; and if it begins with us, what will be the outcome for those who do not obey the gospel of God?
     
    Psalm 139: 23, 24 Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me of unbelief and lead me in the way everlasting.
     
    2 Timothy 2:4 No soldier when in service gets entangled in the enterprises of (civilian) life: his aim is to satisfy and please the one who enlisted him (God)! DO ALL FOR THE GLORY OF GOD!
