OH MY!!! AN EVEN HIGHER LEVEL OF GRACE FOR ME!!!

OH MY!!! I had my outline for the many levels of GOD'S GRACE that I have experienced in the past and also the new level I am in now. Well!!! my outline has expanded MORE!!! MORE UPON MORE GRACE!!!!!

I haven't posted in the last week because........... much has been going on in my life. I have been spending some alone, quite time with The Lord and also had the tremendous blessing of attending a women's conference whose guest speaker was Billye Brim! During this conference I discovered there is an even HIGHER level of GRACE which I can go!!! And I am determined to go and ABIDE there!!!

I am in the process of organizing my notes so I can eventually share with you the MORE GRACE I am learning. I will tell you this much: This level is located in the heavenlies with Jesus by the right hand of the Father!!! This level in the Bible is found in the book of Ephesians. The highlight scripture for me is Ephesians 2:5-6. I have always heard that I am above and not beneath. I am beginning to see myself there and I'm taking you with me!!!

I hope to continue the story of MY GRACE within the next few days. So stay tuned in and pray for me as I put to words what is in my heart and God's heart for you!

Enjoy Your Journey!
Blessings,

JOAN'S GRACE!



MY GRACE!!!

MY BEFORE AND AFTER GRACE!!!

AND THERE IS A LOT IN BETWEEN!!! LOL!

I look forward to writing about my GRACE!
My GRACE is a very good example and many of you will relate.
In my lifetime I have come to realize there are so many levels of God's GRACE. There is GRACE upon GRACE upon GRACE! When you say, "Lord I want MORE GRACE, He takes you there gladly because the MORE GRACE we received the MORE GRACE we can give!

God's GRACE began in me when I was 19 years old.
That is 45 years ago. As James, my husband says, many, many moons ago.

I was a born again Christian leading a very defeated life. I was a young wife and mother, very distressed, depressed and condemned by my weaknesses. Yet, I was so very thankful the Lord Jesus came to save a pitiful person like me. My heart wanted to serve Him and be like Him but I failed more than not. I would sit in condemnation for days, until Paul cleared this up for me in Galatians 2:21, Amplified Bible. He says, "do not nullify the GRACE, the undeserved favor and blessings of God. Do not treat His sacrifice as something of minor importance". This helped me understand when I asked for His forgiveness I must also receive His GRACE and get up off the couch, take my robe and curlers off and begin my journey into MORE GRACE! MORE GRACE transforming me into a King's Daughter all Glorious with and without!

My GRACE at this level helped me to become  a greater blessing to my family!
God's GRACE and spiritual blessings and my soul's peace began being multiplied to me, from my Father, and my Lord Jesus Christ!!!

Can't wait to tell you more in days to come!

Enjoy Your Journey!
Blessings,
Joan

PAUL'S GRACE




The Apostle Paul's grace is a very special example of GOD'S GRACE. Especially for those of you who have thought God could not or would not use you because of your past. No one was more likely to feel that way than the Apostle Paul. In his past he tried to destroy the early church. But later, Paul received God's forgiveness and GRACE, God's undeserved favor and blessing. He wrote in Galatians 1:15, Amplified Bible, "It was God who had chosen and set me apart even before I was born and called me by His GRACE, (His undeserved favor and blessing)". 

It was because of his past Paul could sincerely preach the GRACE of GOD! So can you!!! No matter what your past was or your now is God wants to forgive you and change you and use you!!!

God has chosen and set you apart, even before you were born and is calling you by His GRACE, His undeserved favor and blessing. Won't you respond to His calling? 

Jesus wants you to stop saying your are sorry and receive His forgiveness and power for a changed life full of GRACE! Say with Paul, "I am an apostle-that is a special messenger, appointed and commissioned and sent out not by man but Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised Him from the dead" Galatians 1:1

GOD'S GRACE will have a profound effect on your life and will be far-reaching through you just like Paul's! God has GOOD plans for you!!!  

Enjoy Your Journey!
