No sin too big for God's Grace

His Grace, is grace... not based upon our goodness or our horrible sins... but His grace. It is sinful to not accept what He has done... for not one drop of His blood should be wasted by our not accepting His free gift. Our pride is what holds us back from accepting His grace, and forgiveness. How dare we think our sin is too big for the cross!! Do you continue in self pity of your own actions or do you accept His gift, setting aside your desire for self-- pity... and recognize His grace is sufficient!!

 

A lady told me that she simply could not forgive herself.  To not forgive ourselves, is to hold ourselves up to be bigger than God's grace! It is a form of self-- pity... where the focus in still on ourselves, not on God and what He did for us. It is consumption with self. His love is so great, and His grace is sufficient for anything we ever did or will do!

He is sufficient, His grace is everlasting... we simply receive from the abundance that His blood on the cross bought us!!  Praise His Name!

Faith, Act, Receive

Faith is trust, and confidence that His promises are true.  The bible promises us, that His Word doesn't come back void, that He will meet you where you extend your faith to.   

When you pray, believe that you will have that which you have prayed for, and you will receive it.  We must pray according to His will.  His will is found in His Word, for His Word holds all His promises. 

Let's all be like the woman with the issue of blood, who knew Jesus was her healer and pushed through the crowd extending her faith to touch His garment. She put action to her faith and was rewarded with her healing!

We must do the same, whether... your action is thanking Him in advance of seeing the manifestation or acting on what you know to be truth in some other way. 

Choose to look at God's promises, and not the circumstances. Do not deny the problem but look to Jesus instead. God's Word and promises are true. 

As you act on God's promises, do so in confidence that your prayer is heard and will be answered even before you utter your request.  

Be sure to do all in Jesus' name and to His Glory!!

OH God, "Break my heart with what breaks yours..."

Listen to this song, and feel God's abundant love for you... how blessed you are... and let's love others with His kind of LOVE!!!  "No greater love hath any man than he lay down his life for a friend" Jesus Christ.

God thank you for all you have blessed me with, break my heart with what breaks yours, so that I may be your vessel to love as you love.

Can we ever have enough of God???

We have the fullness of God in Christ Jesus, and have the Holy Spirit in fullness when we are baptized in Him... do you think we can ever have enough of God?

Yes, and No.

Yes, for His work on the Cross was a complete work. He has given us all we need to live this life in Him and live it abundantly. He has given us authority over all power of the enemy.  Does this mean only a little bit of power to live our life? No, He says authority over ALL power of the enemy!(Luke 10:19 NLT) Additionally, He now sits at the right hand of the Father ever interceding for us.   So, yes, we have all of the Godhead living in us when we are born again, and then the fullness of the Godhead in completeness when we are Baptized in the Holy Spirit.  The scripture tells us that He gives us the Holy Spirit with power to be witnesses of Him to the world. So yes, we have exactly what we need of God in ALL His fullness, so we can have enough.

But what about the renewing of our minds? Are we then perfect for we have Him in fullness, since He is Holy, and perfect.  No, for we are to be sanctified daily, pressing towards the mark of the prize of the High Calling in Christ Jesus.  Yes, we may continue to sin, and fall short but He is faithful and just to forgive us. We are no longer "sinner's" for we have been born again, but are new creatures in Him, His Ambassadors, Kings and Priests unto Him, His brothers, sisters, friends. Although we have His power and are His vessels, our walk and cry for Him is a daily walk. One of daily feeding on His Word for Him to wash us, to grow us, to teach us, to draw us near.  As we seek to put Him first in our lives, seeking to be like Him, He adds all things to us, life in fullness.  So, no, we can't ever have enough of God, for we must press in to Him to know Him more, to hunger and thirst for Him like no other, to be desperately in love with Him... to be yielded for Him to fill us.

In all things, He has provided for us... even in our search for Him.  He tells us to seek Him and we will find Him. He tells us to abide in Him, and He will abide in us.  There is great peace in the fact that we don't have to strive to become like Him, but simply be a yielded teachable vessel... for it is His job to grow us. He is the Author and Perfecter of our Faith. As we look to Him in all things, He will brings us to Himself and fulfill His purpose and plan for our life.  Hebrews 12:1-2

Praising God "for as a deer pants for the water, so does my soul pant after thee!" 
Oh, Father, we cry for more of you!!! More of you in our lives!!!

Psalm 42:1-8 (New King James Version)

¹ As the deer pants for the water brooks,
         So pants my soul for You, O God.
 ² My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.
         When shall I come and appear before God?^[b]
 3 My tears have been my food day and night,
         While they continually say to me,
         “Where is your God?”
       
 ⁴ When I remember these things,
         I pour out my soul within me.
         For I used to go with the multitude;
         I went with them to the house of God,
         With the voice of joy and praise,
         With a multitude that kept a pilgrim feast.
       
 ⁵ Why are you cast down, O my soul?
         And why are you disquieted within me?
         Hope in God, for I shall yet praise Him
         For the help of His countenance.^{[c]
       
 6} O my God,^[d] my soul is cast down within me;
         Therefore I will remember You from the land of the Jordan,
         And from the heights of Hermon,
         From the Hill Mizar.
 ⁷ Deep calls unto deep at the noise of Your waterfalls;
         All Your waves and billows have gone over me.
 ⁸ The LORD will command His loving kindness in the daytime,
         And in the night His song shall be with me—
         A prayer to the God of my life.
