His Grace upon grace ✨️

2 Thessalonians 2:16-17

Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and our God and Father, who has loved us and given us everlasting consolation and good hope by grace,  comfort your hearts and establish you in every good word and work.

God's grace is a powerful way He shows His endless love and mercy to us. It's the kindness and favor we don't deserve, but He gives it to us anyway, even though we make mistakes. With grace, we get forgiveness, a chance to start fresh, 

and the hope of living forever. It shows us that we don't have to be perfect to be worthy, because God is always generous and caring towards us. Grace changes us for the better, giving us hope, making us feel better, and letting us know that we are truly loved and important to God.

God knows best

God knows best

Psalm 84:11

For the Lord God is a sun and shield; The Lord will give grace and glory; No good thing will He withhold From those who walk uprightly.

~~~ Reflections ~~~
You may think you know what is good for you. Really only God truly knows.
You need to get to the point where you trust that God does know best.
Learning that if you do not get that dream job, car or house, or anything that you were desiring and praying for.  It is because God knows it would not be good for us. If you were to have it,  He would have answered that prayer with a yes. For He would not withhold any good thing from you. Remember that God knows not only the past or the present we are in, but he also knows what lies ahead. He has plans for your future.

God gives you direction and purpose by pointing you on a certain path. God ultimately directs your path.  God is good, and He can work all of the events of your life of outstanding achievements, to bring Him Glory. That is if you let Him. God is good. Everything He does is good and wonderful. God gives and offers is greater than what the devil offers, so shouldn’t your expectations come from God? God wants to do something outrageously wonderful in your life every moment of every day. But you have to be ready and expect it to happen.


Prayer

Thank you Lord for your grace and glory.
You are faithful even when we have been faithless. We thank You for Your word which gives us light and understanding. We thank You for giving us all things that pertain to life and godliness and for giving us all spiritual blessings.  We exalt You, Lord God, and we bless Your Name. We place our trust in you. Holy Spirit, help me to see the opportunities that the Father has placed before me.
In Jesus Christ Name Amen.

His grace

2 Corinthians 12:9
And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.



~~~Reflections~~~
The bad things that happen have a puropse?
Yes, even the bad in life has a purpose.
What good can possibly come from so much bad? When  you accepted the past and You put it to use in your life then it wouldn't be wasted it seems to me that painful experiences can be used to better prepare us for our lives.

The free and unmerited favor of God, His grace will be manifested and He will pour out His blessings.  Yes, Even pain can shape us. It can make us a better person, getting rid of some of the ugly parts of our human nature.

Pain can make us a stronger more compassionate more unstanding and more like Jesus if we allow it to. The more clutter we get rid of in our life the more we will be able to enjoy our lives. When we are weak this is an opportunity for the Lord to show His grace in your life.

Pain can have a purpose, if we've been transformed by Christ. we know that all things work together for good to them that love God. To them who are called according to his purpose.

by His grace they have been erased

Ephesians 2:8-10

For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.
For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.


~~~Reflections~~~ 
God loves us with such significant love. He is so rich in compassion and mercy. I cannot think of anything I would rather be rich in, then to be rich in God's grace.



I may not know all my flaws, imperfections, sins, or my own weakness.
I DO know that I have many of them. And by his grace they have all been erased.

I do not boast in my good works, for all the Glory goes the Lord.
Salvation cannot be earned. It is truly a free gift from God. There is nothing we can do to earn it. We have to accept this gift of Grace.  For this is all a part of the Lords plan. He wants that we should walk with him. We were created in Christ for good works, to bring Glory to God.


~~~ Prayer ~~~
Father of grace and mercy thank you. Thank you for extending grace even when I have not deserved it. Thank you for giving mercy when I most needed it. Thank you for giving life. Thank you for being my God. Thank you for preparing my way. In Jesus Christ Name. Amen.

Gift of grace

Ephesians 2:8-9

For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves,
it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.

If you are a giver you know what it is like to give gifts away. You give it with no strings attached, without expecting any type of compensation. This brings Joy to the person receiving.  When the person receives the gift you give them you can see their face lights up. It also brings Joy to you the giver.

Same goes for our Father in Heaven. He is a giver. The ultimate gift of Love, His gift of Grace is freely given.


For God did not designate or determine us to suffer wrath, but to receive the gift of salvation by His grace. His Holy Son, The Lord Jesus Christ died for us so that we may live together with him.
Our God is rich in mercy. He freely gives us the gift of grace. So that we can receive the most important gift. Salvation. The greatest gift we've ever received has nothing to do with our works. It is a gift from God.  We don't deserve it,  we can't earn it,  nor purchase it. You only have to receive it form God.

~~~Prayer~~~
Father we give you thanks for your grace. We know it doesn't have to be any special occasion to receive the gift of salvation. Help us to show others how wonderful your grace is. We understand Lord you are a giving God, the giver of Grace. We boast in you Lord for all your goodness. We accept your gift of salvation and we give you all the Glory. In Jesus Christ Name Amen.

God of all Grace!

2 Corinthians 12:9

And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly, I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

~~~Reflections~~~

In your weakness is the opportunity for God to show His grace. God is truly amazing. God makes his grace available to any sinner.
His Grace is given to you freely. It comes from God's own Loving Kindness. Straight from His Heart. He shows us his grace through forgiveness, repentance, and through salvation. He shows favor to those who have the faith to accept His grace.

God’s blessing is enough for us to make it through any kind of physical, spiritual, or emotional pain, no matter how long that pain exists. God’s grace  His favor is enough! God’s grace, His approval is enough, all by itself,  it will give you strength and to know your true worth.

God's grace by itself, to sustain you until He determines that infirmity should end, or if it should end? You should be empowered for ministry. We all have a ministry, and His grace,  His favor is enough, all by itself, to make our sharing of the gospel to flourish. He enables you to live your life more abundantly when He shows Favor on you. God's grace is power to live your life, giving you eternal Life.

His grace cannot be earned. It is a gift. It is unmerited and undeserved. When you had accepted Jesus Christ as Your Savior, through your faith that Jesus Christ died for your sins. He gave you the gift of eternal life. Gods Grace was freely given to you. Simply enough it God's Favor is upon you. A gift. God's profound love. You should look to God to be settled in you, for by Him alone, not human approval, ability, or ambition, will help you get to your calling in life.

No matter what difficulties you have or what is going on in your life. His grace is sufficient. He will be your strength.  His grace doesn't mean you wont have infirmities. physical or mental weakness, sickness, affliction, or attacks from the enemies.Admitting that God is your strength, and everything comes from him. It will keep you humble and not complaining, and keep you on the right path. Using everything for a testimony for How God is in control. God only wants you to know Him and Make Him others know him through you.

It means His grace will see you through whatever the attack is. He will use all situations for His Good. You will be called to his eternal glory. receive assurance of God's grace to support you in your trial. It is when we feel our weakness that God strengthens us. Having the dependency in the Lord, allows God to gives you strength. It is when we feel our weakness that God strengthens us.

1 Peter 5:10

But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.

Prayer:
Praise be to the GOD of all grace. Thank You God for your grace, for it is sufficient in all situations. For your favor extends far and above all our needs. We praise you for the eternal glory that awaits us. In Jesus Christ Name. Amen.

I AM AN ENEMY OF THE DEVIL

I AM AN ENEMY OF THE DEVIL
Peter 5:8
.Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world. But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you. 







~~~Reflections~~~
Lions attack the sick, weak, young and easy prey. Lions choose victims who are alone or not alert. As with many predators, a lion may attack if cornered, if a human runs away, this stimulates their instinct to chase, or if a person "plays dead"
Standing still however may cause the lion to consider a person easy prey.

Lions are ready to pounce and devour their prey.
The devil being compared to the Lion. demonstrates the attacks we face, when we are being persecuted, feeling alone, helpless, suffering or weak, and so focused on our troubles and not keeping focused on the Lord.

Be watchful for the attacks from the devil.  This is when we are easily harmed spiritually, physically, mentally, or emotionally to Satan’s attack ,We leave ourselves open to attacks, simply by having lack of faith. So stay alert, keep yourself  surrounded by others who are believers, for strength.

 Resist the devil, stay steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world. The God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, will establish, strengthen, and settle you. To Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.
Do what ever it takes, get rid of the Lion before he attacks. Shout Loudly the word, use any other action to appear larger, like praise and worshipping the Lord. Raise your hands to the Almighty! Jump up and down, as you would to make the lion retreat. Fighting back with the blood of Jesus on the cross, Using the Name of The Rock of our Salvation to call upon the Father and ask for mercy in Jesus Christ Name. this is the most effective way in to drive out the temptations,

When you are weak.

2 Corinthians 12:9

And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

~~~Reflections~~~
In Our weakness, God always uses it for an opportunity to show His Strength. His grace is sufficient for us. ThankYou Lord for your power that rests upon us.
