Grace by Faith

Grace offers us everything Christ has done for us that is already completed and deposited to our account.  Faith appropriates all that grace provides.  This truth can transform your life!  Stop praying to Christ for things He has already done! We constantly insult His grace!  He has already given you total salvation, total healing, total provision with abundance in every area of your life.  But you must access it through faith.  You have "the faith of God" and have dwelling in your spirit His resident power to heal the sick, raise the dead and bring hope through His word to all around you. But unbelief in your mind and body (feelings) can block everything He has provided by grace!  His salvation "Has appeared to all men", but they have not received it! Just because it's provided, does not mean you receive it. This is where your religious traditions bring unbelief. You have been taught that you must work to get God's attention and deserve His provision. You must fast, pray and beg for God to heal you when He has already done it for you.  This lie has caused more people to live in sickness, poverty, oppression and despair. Understanding grace without appropriating it by faith can kill you. Another lie is, "I don't deserve it, so why would He give it to me?"  Your right, you don't deserve it.. that's why it is totally unmerited favor from God alone. His grace is not dependent on your performance. You may believe that He has already provided your total healing, but your mind (thoughts) and body (feeling sick) can totally keep your faith from releasing it.  So how do you experience your healing, deliverance, salvation and provision?  Through God's word!  "Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God".  Romans 10:1 7 When the word of God becomes more real than your sickness ... you will be healed by faith.   For those that are out of balance with their faith.  Just confessing whatever you want does not mean you have it or will get it.  Here is the key... you can only appropriate by faith what has already been provided by Christ and His finished work....nothing else.  God isn't going to give you the numbers to win the lottery... Christ's blood did not provided for that. Plus it would be illegal.. and God does not break the law! To understand your great provision in Christ, you must go to His word.. read it and believe it.  What are some of the declarations in HIS WORD that are provided for you?

1. Salvation.. "For by grace are you saved through faith and that not of yourselves."  Eph. 2:8   
2. Healing  "He Himself took our infirmities and bore our sicknesses."  Matthew 8:16 
3. Deliverance "Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed".  John 8:36 
4. The mind of Christ. "But we have the mind of Christ." I Corinthians 2:16 
5. Kingdom Business provision "God is able to make all grace abound, that have all sufficiency in everything, you might have abundance for every good work."  II Corinthians 9:8

 I could go on for pages and show you Christ's provision by grace. But this will be an exciting discovery for YOU! Take God's word and ask Him to show you what you already have by GRACE deposited into your account by the blood of Christ!  Than receive it  & release it by FAITH.
