GOD OF ALL GRACIOUS GRACE

GOD OF ALL GRACE – 1 Peter 5:10-12

Grace reminds us of our righteousness in Christ. Grace gives us the new anointing of the New Covenant. In the Old Covenant it tells us what is wrong with us but the New Covenant tells us what is right with us in Christ. The old anointing reminds us of our sins - the new anointing reminds us of our righteousness in Christ. The old comes to judge your sins and condemn you and not able to release you but the new covenant God removes your sins in Christ - your sins and mine - it's no more to be seen and judge. The New Covenant is the Ministry of Grace - superabundance gracious grace. This is all worth repeating after listening from an anointed servant of God on his tape ministry.

Grace is knowing that there is no more guilt, condemnation and punishment (Romans 8:2)
Grace is knowing that God loves me and accepts me just the way I am not because of what I do or don't do but because of the Cross. (Roman 5:5-8) Grace is knowing that there is nothing I can do to make God love me more and nothing I could do to make Him love me less - (Romans 8:39)
Grace is knowing that I am righteous because God has placed me in Christ Righteousness and nothing I can do to obtain it. (Roman 6:4-7)
Grace is not what I do but what Jesus has done for me.
Grace is knowing that victory is not something to work for, it it has already been given to me. (I Cor. 15:56, Ephesians. 2:6 ; 1:19-21)
These quotations are worth repeating again and again - by Mike Quarles

Grace is not a doctrine or teaching but is in a Person Jesus. Grace is a lifestyle, grace itself is LIFE whereas the law is dead. Grace is something for us to LIVE in and MANIFEST through us. Paul says, "I am what I am by the Grace of God".

In Galatians 2:21 Paul says, "The grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain." Paul actually says, I do not want to frustrate and nullify (makes it nothing) the Grace of God in my life. In other words, "No grace, no life." God does not want to pour out His grace for us for no reason. There must be a reason he died for us and gave us His grace. His grace is power - power to perfect us, power to establish us; strengthen us and even settle us for eternity.

So that is why in Hebrews 13:9 says, "Let your heart be established by grace". God does not want our hearts to be full of cares and questionings, worries and fears tossed and turned by every challenge that comes our ways. He wants our hearts at rest and established by His grace. We no longer have to worry about whether we are good enough. Our dependence is upon God's goodness for us now. Our part is to believe and receive. God part is to give and give graciously and generously.

Salvation is never cheap. Grace can never be repaid. It has no price, not because it is worthless, but because it is priceless. God's love for us and his Grace are totally unconditional. Grace has the power to bless us. Grace is an influence that brings divine blessings in our lives. The Greek word for grace is actually "charis" meaning " blessings or kindness." Let His blessings flow because when grace flows - then blessings flows into our lives.

Someone says, "how to walk in the Grace of God" and established in His grace? In order to walk we need to be surrounded by the fragrance of God's grace. You will only smell flowers when you are walking too long in the garden. (eg. Spending time in the Presence of God - feeding on His Gracious Generous Grace) When we come out of the city people smells you. When the grace of God is missed bitterness and selfishness is born. But where the grace of God is embraced, forgiveness flourishes, willingness will be always there. The longer we walk in the garden we will be so conscious of God's gracious grace. Let His Love embrace you.

Be conscious daily of God's grace!- Hebrew 13:9 Begin to talk of His Grace daily! -Ephesians 4:29 Serve in His Grace!- Hebrew 12:28 Stand firm in His Grace! - 1 Peter 5:12 And Continue to go boldly to the Throne of Grace - Hebrew 4:15-16

I tell you where grace exists there will be an earnest desire for more grace. Ask for more! More and more! Take from God and take more! The more we take the more God gives and the more God has for us. He will never runs dry of gracious grace. There are manifold of grace that is untapped. Grace will produce holiness, maturity, fruits, wisdom and miracles and many more! Never underestimate the Grace of God! The Grace of God is GOD'S LIFE IN YOU!

May the blessings and grace of the Lord Jesus be in your spirit and life. May you be conscious of it daily!
