Pastor Lavell Jones shares with us how to to put in the whole armor with God’s Grace.

Today's study verses: Grace

Have you found yourself attempting to be "good" to no avail? I've had this struggle, I remember thinking I could keep myself from doing all the things that we today consider sin. Holiness then being the opposite of that as reality has to be the end result of putting on "grace" as a lifestyle. Most people don't employ the gift of grace don't truly understand that it is a gift given by God to empower you to live out his death burial and resurrection. We are not condemned because of grace, we are liberated by it. When you adopt the truth of God's word as a lifestyle and grant ourselves permission to walk out salvation with the full knowledge that we can actually accomplish it. Listen in as I share the how to's of and the mantels of grace. 

 

You have the power to:

Possess grace

Wear Grace

Extend the benefit of Grace

Observe the authority of grace

Increase in the strength of grace

Approach grace

Excel in grace

Experience the appearance of grace 

stand under grace 

we are chosen by grace

Acts 20:22-35 New International Version (NIV)

22 “And now, compelled by the Spirit, I am going to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there. 23 I only know that in every city the Holy Spirit warns methat prison and hardships are facing me. 24 However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace.

25 “Now I know that none of you among whom I have gone about preaching the kingdom will ever see me again. 26 Therefore, I declare to you today that I am innocent of the blood of any of you. 27 For I have not hesitated to proclaim to you the whole will of God. 28 Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God,[a] which he bought with his own blood.[b] 29 I know that after I leave, savage wolves will come in among you and will not spare the flock. 30 Even from your own number men will arise and distort the truth in order to draw away disciples after them.31 So be on your guard! Remember that for three years I never stopped warning each of you night and day with tears.

32 “Now I commit you to God and to the word of his grace, which can build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified. 33 I have not coveted anyone’s silver or gold or clothing. 34 You yourselves know that these hands of mine have supplied my own needs and the needs of my companions.35 In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’ ”

Listen to special guest Lady Elizabeth Hudson as she reminds us that we are anointed to be stronger. She dives in to 1 Samuel 17 to show us how David used his anointing to defeat the Giant who defied the armies of the Living God and how we can tap into this same anointing.

James 2:20,26 Good News Translation (GNT)

20 You fool! Do you want to be shown that faith without actions is useless?[a]

26 So then, as the body without the spirit is dead, also faith without actions is dead. 

Mark 14:38 New International Version (NIV)

38 Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

Romans 6:19 Good News Translation (GNT)

19 (I use everyday language because of the weakness of your natural selves.) At one time you surrendered yourselves entirely as slaves to impurity and wickedness for wicked purposes. In the same way you must now surrender yourselves entirely as slaves of righteousness for holy purposes.

Romans 15 Good News Translation (GNT)

15 We who are strong in the faith ought to help the weak to carry their burdens. We should not please ourselves.

2 Corinthians 12:8-10 Good News Translation (GNT)

8 Three times I prayed to the Lord about this and asked him to take it away. 9 But his answer was: “My grace is all you need, for my power is greatest when you are weak.” I am most happy, then, to be proud of my weaknesses, in order to feel the protection of Christ's power over me. 10 I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and difficulties for Christ's sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

1 Corinthians 1:27 The Passion Translation (TPT)

Dionne "The Radical Midwife" Shares "She be puttin on" while it may be an ebonic term, the reality is that if more of us put on the right interpretation of who and what we are would go further faster. The reality is that strength is drawn by what's in and on us. When the mouth of God has spoken a word over your life nothing is "Getting ready to happen" It has literally (past tense) already happened. The fact is that until your truth aligns with the truth of what already is you have the presence of mind to recognize His "AM"

Definition  of strength

But get this:

am

/am,əm/

verb

first person singular present of being. That means, right now without foresight or a sure evident method of visibly experiencing is in and ON you! That means you are already where you belong not getting ready to be. Your experience may differ based on your ability to "BE" When you find that being is a decision, you begin to make different decision emotionally and intellectually to accommodate the isness of God. 

 

My prayer for you today and always is that you embrace the truth without needing an explanation = Faith looks just like that. The only thing standing in the way of your victory is your perspective. Cooperate with God about who HE says you are, be vulnerable enough to trust His plan and rest in His truth so that you can experience His rest as He intended. Be blessed!
