TAPING INTO THE LIMITLESS GRACE OF GOD

Our text taken from Galatians 1:6, 1-12 Paul says, “I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel. V.7 … “and want to pervert the gospel of Christ.” Vs. 11 But I make know to you brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man. vs 12 - “For neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came through the revelation of Jesus Christ.” 

The gospel preached by Paul was not from man nor was not taught by him, but it came through a revelation of Jesus Christ. Paul who was sincere came from a strong religious background of Judaism and Pharisee. This gospel was not coped up by himself but by Jesus Himself that changed his former lifestyle.

Why must we preach grace in today churches? There must be no other gospel or another gospel. We even dare not pervert the gospel of Christ grace. Paul says in Galatians 3:3 “Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit of Grace, are you now made perfect by the flesh or works. He therefore that ministered to you in the Spirit and worketh miracles among you, does He work of the law or by the hearing of faith?” 

Paul believed that our flesh can be overcome by the hearing of faith through the work of the Spirit of Grace in us. As more and more grace abounds then that grace will reign in us and through us victoriously. This grace will work miracles after miracles for us without our help. The questions we will ask, “Am I trusting in Christ’s grace or am I doing all the right things?” 

Galatians 2:20, 21 says to us, “Yet not I, but Christ (grace) liveth in me, now I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me. I do not want to frustrate the grace of God (set aside the grace of God) if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died in vain.” So if we focus on Grace it will produce good works in us. But good works cannot produce grace. Faith without good works is dead. But faith in His grace produces good works and it produces blessings for others to see. 

Then 2 Corinthians 6:1 says, “We then, as workers together with him (Jesus), beseech you also that you receive not the grace of God in vain.” Someone says grace is “God’s ability to do for you, what you cannot do for yourself.” Watchman Nee says, “in the law is you’re doing for God; Grace is God’s doing for you, in you, through you.” The law is me doing it all; grace is God is doing it all. Anything you’re doing it – it is flesh but if God is doing it – it’s good and produces good fruits and blessings.

Joyce Meyer says, “Grace is letting God do what He wants to do in this earth through you. You are to be still, wait upon Him until He brings it to pass. It is your joy to be a vessel or channel of His grace. You and I don’t have a problem that is too big for the grace of God to handle. If our problem gets bigger, God’s grace gets bigger. If your problem multiplies, so the grace of God multiplies. When grace begins to flow, it will generate more and more grace until you become a channel of grace. I Corinthians 15:10 “But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace towards me was not in vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all, yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me. 

The gospel Paul preached was not a mixture of law and grace – “a different gospel”. Paul preached a living pure grace gospel – Roman 15:15-21. This grace was living in Paul’s life. He is conscious of it. It is not a doctrine to follow. But it is a life changing and transforming power of God. God’s pure grace gives us restoration and exalts us to become more like Jesus. It gives us power to live a holy, godly and sanctified life. 

God’s grace is amazing and it came in abundance. God’s grace is abounding towards us today and is unstoppable towards us who believe. God’s grace is able to do exceeding abundantly beyond what we think or pray. In our prayer we are limited but with God’s grace our prayers are unlimited. And that is how we live by the faith of the Son of God not frustrating the grace that is in us. The New Covenant is not about what we DO - it is about what He has DONE at the Cross! The generator is ON! I don't pray to get the power - I pray IN the power! 

We are coming to a closure and the year 2012 is ahead of us. The year 2012 – the number 12 is a number. Twelve speaks of “governmental perfection.” The significance of 12 in Old Testament in the Book of Genesis reveals that there were 12 sons of Jacob. The 12 sons formed the 12 tribes of Israel. In New Testament, Jesus had 12 Apostles who were his closest followers.

In the Kingdom of God the number 12 appears throughout the Revelation, the kingdom of God has 12 gates guarded by 12 angels. I believe there will be something happening in the earthly world “One World government” or “New World Order” that will propose the new world currency when the world currency is collapsing. At the same time Kingdom Government  will be manifesting in the body of Christ and the gates of heaven will be opened and angels will be released to minister to the prayer of saints in a greater dimension.

Revelation 5: 9-10 And they sang a new song: "You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals, because you were slain, and with your blood you purchased men for God from every tribe and language and people and nation. You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to serve our God, and they will reign on the earth." THEY SANG A NEW SONG refers to the 24 elders who in verse 8 each had a harp and were holding golden bowls full of incense which were the prayers of the saints. (Breakthrough Prayers of Saints in Ephesians 3:20)
