God Thinking L - One Word 7

"2 Corinthians 9:8, “And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good thing."

• If we were to fully apprehend what it means for God to “make all grace abound toward us”
• If we could really see what it means to have God working on our behalf with every thing that is available to God, designed and given to us through and by His grace.
• If we could grasp that when God makes this “grace abound toward us”, He is motivated by His own good pleasure.
• If we could even begin to understand the enthusiasm that God has on our behalf..... If we could understand that God is performing His will in us and through us, by His grace, simply because He wants to.

No matter how hard I try, I cannot find the right words that disclose my heart on this matter of God’s grace. 

 

The grace of God is too big and too wonderful, to comprehend much less accurately describe.
 

The only people that can even begin to fathom the concept of God’s grace are those who are living under the banner of Jesus Christ. 
 

For it is through Christ (His life) and by His sacrifice (the shedding of His blood on the cross) that we are even able to receive the grace of God.

The whole world is seeking after what we already possess.  Every soul seeks to know their creator, and you and I have already joined together with Him, by His grace."

God Thinking L - One Word 6

Sorry for the delay on this blog.  I was really sick  over the weekend.

"Grace

Once we understand the potency of grace and the all encompassing efficacy of this unmerited gift from God, we can’t help but unravel at its implications.

God forgive us for attempting to be something apart from your grace.
 

Forgive us for trying to be religious apart from your grace.

Forgive us for donning ourselves with the ornaments of self-righteousness as if we were something apart from your grace.

Forgive us for not being satisfied with your grace. 

Can you sense God pouring out His grace on you right now.

God spoke to me just a clear as I have ever heard the voice of God in my spirit, He said “My Grace is sufficient for thee.” 2 Corinthians 12:9

Please accept God’s infilling right now, of how much He loves you. 

Hear the Word of the Lord:

Ephesians 2:5-9

“Even when we were dead in sins, (God) hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)

V6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:

V7 That in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.

V8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

V9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.” 

Can I say without reservation or hesitation, that “the gift of God” is grace and shouldn’t be confused with any other gift.

The “gift of God” is grace."

God Thinking L - One Word 5

"God decided long before He ever made mankind that there would be a special word:

A word that would explain God to man.

A word that would unite God and man.

A word that would describe His love for us.

A word that would paint a word picture like nothing we have ever or could ever fully comprehend.

A word that cannot be confused with any other.

A word that cannot be mistranslated, but so powerful in itself, that there is no other word that would even try to compete.

A word that even satan couldn’t mess up.

A word that reaches beyond our intellect and goes directly to the soul of man.

One word that would tell the world about the love of God, the whole story, from beginning to end and include every soul from Adam to you and I.

 

That word is Grace."

God Thinking L - One Word 4

"This gift (One Word) of God transcends every religion  - every belief - every faith - every plan - every doctrine. 

This gift:

Cannot be found by accident

Cannot be achieved through excellence

Cannot be apprehended through seeking

Cannot be understood through education      

Cannot be purchased

 

This gift is nonpareil, (unequalled) (matchless) (solitary) in that, it alone provides every component necessary to live a full and rewarding life.

This gift is so powerful that it contains within it all others.

Even eternal life is subject to the presence of this gift.

It is so precious, that God reserved the right to impart this gift, Himself.

It can only be given by God Himself.   

Even if we were to never see our dreams fulfilled

Even if we were to never see an angel

Even if we were to never witness a miracle

Even if we were to never get that thing we really thought we needed

Even if we were to never receive any of the gifts of the Spirit

Even if we were to never find love

Even if we were to never be healed

This gift would still transcend all others."

God Thinking L - One Word 3

"Of all the gifts of God this gift is the most received gift of all and at the same time, the least appreciated.

When God imparts this gift, if we were never to receive another gift - if we were never even to hear of any other gift - we would have in our possession everything sufficient and everything expected from God so that we can be:

Accepted

Justified

Redeemed

Saved

Sanctified

Righteous

Everything demanded by God from you or me is provided within this gift from God. 

When God gives this gift, it is given without regard to denomination - religious affiliation or generational heritage.

It is given without regard to Race - creed - nationality - gender or age.

When God gives this gift, it is given:

Without reservation

Without hesitation

Without review

Without strings attached 

No gift can come close to and there is no equal to this gift from God.

Not wisdom

Not knowledge

Not faith

Not healing

Not miracles

Not prophesy

Not discerning of spirits

Not tongues

Not interpretation of tongues     

There is one gift that joins us to God.

One gift that seals our fate.

One gift that transcends anything we could ever do or dream to do, to be right with God.

God Thinking L - One Word 2

"One gift from God that we can count on anywhere and at any time. 

There is one gift that God gives that He gives most freely and without measure.  There is one gift offered to all mankind - Despite their personality - despite their character - despite their job title - despite their wealth - despite their background - despite what they’ve done - despite where they’ve been - despite it all. 

This gift is not just for the pious - The religious - the gifted - the talented - the skilled - the ambitious or the intelligent.  This gift is not just for the studious - the brilliant - the well known or the well liked.

Unlike any other gift from God, this gift does not elevate us above others. 

Unlike any other gift from God, this gift gives us nothing to brag about, nothing to toot our own horn.

This gift does not reveal to others how much more spiritual we are than they.

This gift needs no coaxing, no study, no striving for and no work on our part.

Even though it is the best gift of all, there is nothing you or I can do to earn it or achieve it.

Neither will we ever deserve it.) (To be continued)

• And other times it seems like a breeze
• Sometimes life’s problems seem insurmountable
• Sometimes it seems like we can do anything

• And times we have been unfaithful

In all this, the mountain tops and the valleys, the best of times and the worst of times, from the lowest moments in our life, to the to the highest plateaus, there is one constant:
One, never changing, perpetual, unending, unceasing, ever-present, fully satisfying, substantial and completely all-sufficient constant in our life."

Note: I'm not trying to be cruel, but to get the true, internal, inner man affect you will have to continue with me until I reveal it. See you tomorrow.
