Entering Into Greater Grace and Glory
1. Make a Fresh Commitment to Pray and Seek the Lord
Matt 6:6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you openly
Gen 32:24,29 Then Jacob was left alone; and a Man wrestled with him until the breaking of day. Then Jacob asked, saying, “Tell me Your name, I pray.” And He said, “Why is it that you ask about My name?” And He blessed him there
- You don’t see his time with God, but you see the evidence of it
Heb 11:6 Without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him
2 Chron 7:13-15 When I shut up heaven and there is no rain, or command the locusts to devour the land, or send pestilence (Plague, Disease, Contagion, Infection, Pandemic) among My people if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to prayer made in this place
2. Make the Lord Our Tower of Trust and Cast All Our Worries On Him
Ps 62:6-8 (TLB) Yes, he alone is my Rock, my rescuer, defense, and fortress why then should I be tense with fear when troubles come? My protection, success and Glory come from God alone. He is my refuge, a Rock where no enemy can reach me. O my people, trust him all the time. Pour out your longings (heart) before him, for he can help!
- Many times, great glory is connected to warfare, learning that the Lord is a strong tower will be key to being trusted with greater grace
Ps 59:16 In my most troubled hour You defended me, You’re my shelter
Ps 56:11 In God I have put my trust; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me? (What can the son of earth do to me)
1 Pet 5:7 (TLB) Let Him have all your worries and cares, for He is always thinking about you and watching everything that concerns you
Mk 4:19 (HCS) Worries of this age, the seduction of wealth, and the lusts for other things enter in and choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful
- To choke utterly as weeds do plants, to strangle out, to drown
- Worry makes the word of God unfruitful, barren, profitless, useless
Lk 10:41 (NASB) You are worried and bothered about so many things
Is 55:11 So My word I send it out, it always produces fruit. It shall accomplish all I want it to and prosper everywhere I send it
3. We’re About to Reap What We Sowed for And What We Didn’t Sow For
Jn 4:38 I sent you to reap what you have not worked for. Others have done the hard work, and you have reaped the benefits of their labor
Josh 24:13 So I gave you a land on which you did not toil and cities you did not build; and you live in them and eat from vineyards and olive groves that you did not plant
Deut 8:8-10 For the Lord your God is bringing you into a good land, a land a land in which you will eat bread without scarcity, in which you will lack nothing When you have eaten and are full, then you shall bless the Lord your God for the good land which He has given you
