grace grace.
one word tat we speak so often.
to e mountains of trouble we all seem to have. to our problems tat never seem to end.
yet, these simple words, word essentially, means so much to us who understand. e power within e word grace.
pastor once dissected e word n said it's God's Riches At Christ's Expense.
HOW TRUE N ADEQUATE.
how often in life do we actually realise - tat no matter wat we do, or think, or say, e future is already planned n decided as victorious?? how many times does it take for us to fall, n go thru wat scholars call 'e school of hard knocks' to comprehend His love n His grace??
sidetracking - one sister once told me she had a theory. a theory tat states tat all great men of God went thru a lot of crap in their lives to be lifted high by God. at first, i totally stood against tat theory. why?? if it's by grace, why do we have to go thru these tides?? i dun believe it!! but then, recently, i have a real great bro in Christ(thanx lao ba!! *winkz) who said tis to me... God knows our mettle, n there's no need to test us. He knows us thru n thru. but e devil is STUPID.
whoa, tat sentence knocked me off my feet. it's so true!! e stupid devil is NOT obmniscient(is tis e way to spell it?)!!! he's as stupid as u or me, clueless to wat e Lord has planned for us. he just has a certain advantage which is tat he can see all e spiritual activity going on around us, n when he sees a host of angels suddenly running to n fro heaven, coming into ur everyday life, trying to fix this n that... trust me, he's afraid!! n damn he wants to fight!! he wants to make sure u go down. but hehe. we r not gg down. why?? cos we hav a Standby. The Holy Spirit. we hav a sacrifice, The Christ(in greek which means anointing. steady rite?!?! think back to deaconess lian's message. so steady... Lord, let my wife be like tat too ok!?!? wahahaha. cannot la, later i like tat, she also like tat, then our lives will be bible conscious n not Christ conscious. hee. kk, explain tis next time. :P). we hav a promise. a promise from a certain 'Someone', who promises to forget our EVERY iniquity n stand by His promise to bless us AS e children of Abraham. see e promises tat He gave Abraham?? see e blessings he had as a 'righteous' man??(in colons becos a man who is such a wuss to pass off his wife as his sister is realli not a man to me. not tat i'm any better thou... wahahaha. i'm scared at times to even ackowledge myself as myself.) but well, point is - if he was called righteous, it's due to his faith, which was not up to him to keep. remember. JESUS was e One who walked e covenant, e BLOOD PATH for him. yupyup. He did it mysteriously for him, He did it openly n knowingly for US. amen?? n He made a blood path for all to see, for all to know, tat e covenant has been made, e sacrifice has been chosen, e price has been paid.
who said anything abt cheap grace?!?!
grace IS a free gift tat carriED e most expensive price tag.
realise. it's all done n paid for.
it's all for us to enjoy HERE n NOW.
*tearing as i type tis... must persevere.
*nods head
all sin was taken tat it twisted Him. TAT HE HAD NOT E FORM OF A MAN.
all pain was borne on His body. SO MUCH TAT HISTORY CALLS IT E GREATEST SUFFERING.
all riches were exchanged for our poverty. TO THE BONE.
all loneliness was experienced. FROM E ONE TRUE LOVE TAT HE KNEW.
all was taken from Him, n all was given to Him.
all was taken from us... n all was given to us.
to exchange His One Son's Life for a bucket of worms.
tat's wat He did.
TAT'S WAT HE DID N CHOSE. BOTH FATHER N SON.
know wat He died as n with, n know who YOU have been called to. no one else can replace YOU. no one else can take over YOU. YOU are now, in all respect to tat name, Jesus.
say tis. "I am, I Am."
yes. tat's wat You Are.
shalom
