GRACE IS THE REVELATION OF CHRIST

Grace Is The Revelation Of The Authority Of the Believer – Matthew 28:18;  James 4:7

The scripture says, “My grace is sufficient for you” What grace?  That grace is God’s revelation of our authority in Christ. God never asked us to pray and ask Him to do something about the devil.  God said, “Resist the devil, and he will flee from you”.  All power is given and all grace is given unto you to do the work of the ministry.

     Paul realized that he couldn’t do anything in his own strength or ability to prevent the persecution that was coming against him. Instead, he decided to use the authority that Jesus gave him and to believe that the name of Jesus, the blood of Jesus and the Word of God were sufficient to overcome his problem.  It is the blood of Jesus that gave us grace that we can overcome the devil.

In Revelation 12:11 - King James Version

“And they overcame him (devil) by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.”

Grace as the Revelation Of The Word Of God – 2 Corinthians 12:10  New International Version (NIV)

10 That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

     As long as Paul complaining about the persecution wherever he went, he was not in faith. As long as he was feeling sorry for himself and as long as he was discouraged, he couldn’t access the grace available to him.  Grace was available the whole time, but only when Paul moved into the realm of faith was he able to access God’s grace.

How did Paul make the switch from discouragement to faith?  Just by speaking God’s Word out of his mouth.  He overcame him (his problem) by the Word of God. Paul said, “For when I am weak (in my own self), then am I strong (in God)” When you speak what the Word of God says about you instead of doubt and unbelief, you gain access to the grace of God.  The word of Grace gives us life and strength because we are in Christ. It gives us faith to reign in life.

Satan has no right to be in your house or near your children. He has no right to be influencing your finances. He has not right to be in your mind (body) or touch anything else that belongs to you and God.  God has given you the supernatural authority or right in His Word to resist him. We need to fight the good fight of faith in God. You can exercise your spiritual authority and His spiritual gifts.  God has given you His Mighty Gracious Grace to reign in life today!

Praise the Lord and Worship Him!
