Therefore, as through one man’s offense judgment came to all men, resulting in condemnation, even so through one Man’s righteous act the free gift came to all men, resulting in justification of life. For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man’s obedience many will be made righteous.
Moreover the law entered that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace abounded much more, so that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 5:18-21
Grace is something God has had to teach me. I was operating in so many spirits from the pits of hell that condemnation came on me and quickly. Every time I would do something I knew better than to do I would feel so much shame and guilt. I do not ever want to take advantage of God’s grace. I went to hell when I died and this put the fear of God in me. I have the spirit of fear of the Lord that the Bible tells us about but I would not allow grace to take over. It was like I forgot about God’s love until last night. I knew God made me a warrior in the spiritual realm but the hardest part is allowing grace to abound in my life. Grace comes with peace and our happiness. I mess up and prolly so badly He should take His Holy Spirit from me. I know I can never leave without Him again. It makes me strive to do better and allow the Holy Spirit to comfort me, to teach me and to give me peace. John 14.
I have felt guilt, condemnation, shame so intensely that I almost hated myself. No more of that and I do not want you to ever feel them again either. We do have to back away from our favorite sins and anything God has told us is a sin. I have no but for that except we will fail. It is inevitable and this is why Jesus died for us. He knew we would fail. He knew we would fall down but the Holy Spirit is there to help us pick ourselves up. I feel that every time God is about to elevate me I fail. I hated that about myself and I would put so much pressure on me that I forgot about His grace. I would forget that He died to make sure I never felt that pressure. I do not believe the spirit of grace or His everlasting amazing grace is free reign to sin or that we should ever take advantage of it. We must do all we can to please Him. What I have learned is that His grace is sufficient for all my failures.
God told me smoking cigarettes is a sin. Yesterday I totally messed up and bought a pack and smoked some of them. I asked God in prayer that when I mess up to show me and to make me hurt where I never want to do it again. He is just to answer our prayers when we pray the right things. I do not want to make Him disappointed in me and before He ever could I beat myself up. I had a headache so badly I will never in my life buy another pack of cigarettes. I was being a bad steward of the money He has put in my life. I was sinning against Him and the wage of sin is death. Death is also a spirit that comes to try and kill your future. I fought so many evil spirits last night that I hardly slept. They come in the night season too. I had to depend on the Holy Spirit to help me meditate on God’s word about how to win. How to beat my flesh and evil lurking trying to take over my life. When I say to make Him your best friend this is why. I could hear scripture being played over and over in my mind and I needed this more than anything last night. This is two nights this week that evil has come so hard at me that I did not sleep well. I finally went to sleep meditating on God’s Word and taking authority over everything the enemy was trying to hit me with. I refuse to be any kind of helper to stan and his goons. I refuse to allow them make me doubt that my God is bigger than anything thrown at me. I want everyone to get here. I want everyone to move away from their sins and live as close to God as they possibly can. Once we start this process God brings us under His mighty strong arms and protects us. God’s grace is sufficient for all of our needs so do not ever allow the enemy to beat you up like he has me. I hate satan and he is my only enemy. I will spend the rest of my life giving that rat liar hell. He will wish I had died that night he came with death to take me. He will regret the very day I was born. He tried to take me out that day too… I am coming for his nasty ass.
I am one of the most unconventional people God could have ever chosen but I feel many of you think that about yourselves too. Keep that funky spirit in overdrive for the Lord. He is mightier than anything in this world. 1 John 4:4. He will deliver you from your sins and when you fail He will pick you up, I am living proof. I should have woke up with anything but joy this morning but my joy comes from the Lord not anything of this world. I praise Him for all of us needing an ever increasing amount of grace. For where there is sin grace abounds even more. Let God wrap His arms around you today and fill you with HIs ever increasing mighty love and grace.
Father, I think you for saving me. I praise you for your amazing grace. We love you Father. We thank You for reminding us and teaching us of the power of grace. We ask you encapsulate us with the spirit of grace for the measure it is needed. We take authority over any and all evil spirits trying to hit us and we send them to hell where they must stay until they are rightly judged in our favor by Jesus. We invoke Your amazing promises for us and we thank You for all You are. I thank You for the “thorn” you have place inside of my head to keep me closer to you. We thank you for your ever abounding love and we ask for you to show us how you love us today and every day of our lives from this day forward. We seek Your love, we seek Your face, we are knocking Lord… we are asking … Thank You for Your forgiveness and we lay our sins at your feet. Show us what to move away from, who to move away from, and how to stay clear of the evil coming at us. Forgive us where we fail you and we plead for grace. In Jesus mighty name – amen, amen, and amen. Please send the angels before us to straighten our path. In Jesus name.
