FAITH ACTIVATING GRACE ON YOU

-

Faith and grace are two very important subjects in the Bible. When you study the Bible, you'll find that both of them operate together. Both Romans 4:16 and Romans 5:1-2 illustrate this connection: "Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace." (Rom. 4:16) "Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God." (Rom. 5:1-2)



Faith gives us access into the grace of God; it is, therefore, important that we understand what faith is and what grace is. The grace of God is available to every believer, but it's accessed by faith. Faith is the accelerator of grace; it makes the grace of God go in your life. You can't receive anything in the grace of God except through the vehicle of the faith of God.

What is faith? Hebrews 11:1 in the Amplified Bible answers this question: "Now faith is the assurance, the confirmation, the title deed of things we hope for, being the proof of things we do not see and the conviction of their reality, faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses." If it's not now, it's not faith. Faith must be released through words. Faith-filled words dominate the laws of death.

Faith is acting on what you believe, acting as though the Word of God is true because it is. Individuals operating in the faith of God are not looking at what they see, but are looking at what God's Word says about the matter. We're not moved by what we see; we're moved by what we believe. We walk by faith, not by sight. In other words, faith is supposed to be the lifestyle of the believer.

Now, let's look at a few definitions of grace. Grace is unmerited favor. The word "unmerited" is important. It means that grace is not earned; we can't work for grace. Grace is a gift from God to us, pure and simple. James 4:6 in the Amplified Bible says, "But He gives us more and more grace, power of the Holy Spirit." Here's another way you can say that: "He gives us more favor and more anointing." The Holy Spirit, Who is the anointing, is also the grace of God, and by faith, we have access into this grace. Grace is also the divine or spiritual blessings of God as is indicated in 1 Peter 1:9-11, and Timothy 2:1 in the Amplified Bible.

If you're in the middle of a problem, there is supernatural help, divine help. And of course, God is also the gift of life, because God is the giver of life. Grace is the mercy of God. Have you ever needed to call on the mercy of God? Well, by faith, we gain access into this grace that includes the mercy of God. Grace is beauty and can even be thankfulness, gratitude and loving kindness. Thank God for His loving kindness toward us. Praise God for His grace.

GLORY with PASTOR KHUMALO

Listen now on our Podcast 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Glory is virtually impossible to define. In a sense, God’s glory is the magnificence, worth, loveliness, and grandeur of his many perfections . More often, glory communicates God’s special presence, as in the pillars of glory and of fire ( Exod. 13:21–22 ) or the glory that filled the tabernacle (40:34–38). The primary Hebrew term for glory is  kabod . This word stems from a root that means “weight” or “heaviness.” Depending on its form, it could have the sense of “ honorable,” “dignified ,” “exalted,” or “revered.” C. John Collins explains that it became a “technical term for God’s manifest presence.” It is similar in many respects to the concept of God’s name in the Old Testament (see “ kabod ” in  New International Dictionary of Old Testament Theology and Exegesis ) . The primary Greek term for glory is  doxa . According to Sverre Aalen,  doxa  in secular Greek referred to an “opinion,” “conjecture,” “ repute,” “praise,” or ...

Right attitude

-
  An attitude of a believer in trials .  Amplified Bible James 1:2-4 Consider it nothing but joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you fall into various trials . Be assured that the testing of your faith [ through experience] produces endurance [leading to spiritual maturity, and inner peace].And let endurance have its perfect result and do a thorough work, so that you may be perfect and completely developed [in your faith], lacking in nothing . A believer should be excited and Joy over trials because it brings a testing of his faith . Faith must be tested. When faith is tested , FAITH is stretched and exercised.  Suffering and Pain are the only school that help to strengthen and to loosen your faith to activity.  Your faith should be checked and ascertain it's authenticity .  When Abraham was tested ,God said to him, bring your son as an offering and Abraham didn't doubt God but he simply obeyed as a result his faith was found by God to be authentic and genuin...
