Good
Morning!
Today,
I will be expounding on the last scripture in the "homework
assignment" that I gave you all last month. It is 1 Corinthians
15:10....but I am being led by The Holy Spirit to include verse 9.
Taking these two scriptures together, in context, is going to be an awesome
revelation to someone! It confirms everything that The
Lord has been trying to get across to us about the "power" of God's
GRACE, and makes it so simple and clear to us! I encourage you, as you
read these two scriptures, to really think about what they are saying and
"apply" them to yourself! I will show you how to do
that....because, after I type out the "written" Word, I am going to
give you the "prophetic" Word that the Lord has for you about
"what is written"!
1
Corinthians 15: 9 & 10 (keep in mind that this is the Apostle Paul
talking....you know, the one that wrote two/thirds of the New Testament).
I am taking this from the King James version of the Bible, but I encourage you
to read it also from the Amp. version if you have one~~~~~
"For
I am the least of the apostles, and am not fit to be called an apostle,
because I persecuted the church of God. But by the grace of God I am
what I am: and His grace which was bestowed upon me was
not in vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all; yet not I, but the
grace of God which was with me".
This is a perfect
"example" of how so many Christians think until they get a
divine revelation from God about His GRACE! They usually start
out in verse 9 ~~~~ and they think this: How can God use me when I
have done so many awful things in my life? The answer is ~~~~ He bestows His
GRACE upon you! Then they find themselves in verse 10, and
they think this: I have worked so hard for The Lord and have done so
many "good works" and that is why I have these
"accomplishments" in my life! Wrong! The answer is still
the same....it was because of God's GRACE!
My point is this ~~~ You
are valuable and precious to God no matter what you have done
"wrong" or what you have done "right". If you have
done "wrong"... He will forgive you and bestow His
GRACE upon you! If you have done all the right things and have
"accomplished" anything in your life, it is still
because of His GRACE!
Bottom line.....God gets
all of the "glory", because of His awesome, powerful and undeserved
GRACE!!! Can I get an AMEN?
Say this (out
loud)....Lord, if it had not been for your "Grace", I would still be
what I was, but because of your "Grace", I am what I am
!
Have
a Blessed Weekend! (His "grace" is sufficient
for YOU!) In His Love, Luanne
