Hopefully you have decided to join me on my journey into
MORE GRACE! We have come to the Camp of GRACE which is located at the foot of
the cross leaving our comfort zone and what we presently know about GRACE. We have come to learn how to become a greater
blessing to our family by receiving and giving MORE GRACE.
There is a new song today called, God’s Not Dead. It goes
like this: God’s not dead He’s surely alive, He’s living on the inside, roaring
like a lion! I love it, especially when my Great Gran sings it!!! The words in
the song are true. Jesus is alive and is back sitting by the right hand of His
Father. The good news is He sent back to earth His Spirit, Holy Spirit. He
didn’t leave us helpless and hopeless. He sent His Spirit to be with us and in
us helping us to live the Christian life and to live the abundant life He came
to give. MORE GRACE, MORE AMAZING GRACE given to us after the Cross! We are not
alone on our journey. We are greatly blessed and highly favored!
John 14: 16-17 says in the Message Bible Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Truth. John
16: 12 says He will take us by the hand
and guide us into all the truth there is.
The Amplified Bible says Holy
Spirit is our Comforter, Counselor, Convincer, Helper, Teacher, Intercessor,
Advocate, Strengthener, and Standby. We have everything we need in The Holy Spirit
of Jesus!!!
To receive MORE GRACE and to give MORE GRACE we will need a
more intimate friendship with Holy Spirit.
Let me ask you, have you received the ministry of the Holy
Spirit? Do you have an intimate friendship with Him? This friendship is more
than just an altar call. It is having a close relationship with Him in your
basic everyday life and family. Do you rely on Him trusting in His abilities
and not only your own?
What do you do at this special place on your journey? You
acknowledge your dependence on Holy Spirit. You practice His presence all day,
every day, while you’re doing what you’re doing. You stop living as though you are all alone! Open
your arms wide and welcome Holy Spirit to be all that Jesus sent Him to be in
your life!
Oh! What amazing examples of GRACE we have seen! 2 Cor.
13:14 in the Message Bible speaks of these examples of GRACE in its purest
form, “May the amazing grace of Jesus
Christ, the extravagant love of God and the intimate friendship of the Holy
Spirit be with you all.”
Enjoy Your Journey,
Blessings,
