GOD"S GRACE AND YOUR FAITH.

When You See God’s Grace, He Sees Your Faith
For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, Ephesians 2:8

Many a time, people ask me, “Pastor John, I know that God’s promises are true, but how can I be sure that His promises will come true in my life?”

My friend, if you want God’s promises to be sure in your life, you cannot depend on yourself. If you depend on yourself — your obedience, goodness, service and even faith — you will not be able to receive God’s promises. But when you depend on God’s grace — His unmerited, unearned, undeserved favor toward you — that is when His promises become sure in your life.

This was true of the woman with the issue of blood. (Matthew 9:20–22) She didn’t go around saying, “I must have faith… I hope that I have enough faith… I will have faith… I will not lose faith.” No, she was only conscious of the grace of Jesus — how He always healed the sick, how powerful He was in raising the dead and how willing He was to use that power for her healing.

She just saw His grace abounding toward her, so much so that she said, “If only I may touch His garment, I shall be made well.” And when she came behind Jesus and touched the very hem of His garment, she was healed. At that same moment, Jesus stopped, turned around and said to her, “Be of good cheer, daughter; your faith has made you well.”

When the woman saw His grace, God saw her faith! And so it was by grace, through faith, that God’s promise became sure in her life.

God wants you to see His grace. And when you see His grace, He sees your faith. God says, “For by grace are you saved through faith.” The Greek word for “saved”, sozo, doesn’t just mean to save from hell, but also to heal, preserve and make whole. So it is by grace that you are made whole, kept healthy, preserved and prospered. It is by grace through faith that God’s promises become sure in your life.

My friend, don’t worry if you feel that you lack faith. Begin to see God’s grace in your situation and He will see that as faith. And because He sees your faith, you will receive the breakthrough you need!

Thought For The Day
When you see God’s grace, He sees your faith, and you will receive your breakthrough.

Faith pays off by our acts .

If you by faith say to the mountain to throw itself into the sea, so
shall it be . [ Mt 21:21 ]

Dearly beloved,
Faith is the supreme gift that holy spirit injects into our inmost
being when we are born again. in fact, faith is the substance which
enables us to draw to the love of God. it makes us to depend more on
God and his wonders than the passing away glory of the world . Jesus
said; the world and its glory shall pass away but never my word shall
.. this statement of Jesus Christ gives more strength to our
inner-spirit which makes us to grow even more stronger in faith .

Jesus said; you shall do much greater things than me if you believe
and walk in faith .christian life is soley constructed on the platform
of faith and the bible clearly says;without faith it is impossible to
please God. christian life is paralyzed and worn out when faith is
dishonored . we must understand that we are noticed by God only when
we seek him diligently by the attribute called ''FAITH'' .even as lord
jesus was gifted to us by God as a sacrifice . similarly, faith also
is gifted to us by the holy spirit to walk with God hand by hand just
as Enoch and Abraham walked along .

You might be in confusion at the statement that jesus made in Mt 21:21
.. the bible says; with men its impossible but with God all things are
possible . the God who made the highest peaks of the world to submerge
and inundate by the floods he brought upon the earth in the days of
noah is the same one who is dwelling in our hearts to do such mighty
acts amongst us . he is the same yesterday today and forever .we need
immense faith to believe that even the mountains can walk and throw
themselves into the sea when we speak out the glorious name of Jesus .
disciples leaped onto their feet with utter amazement when storms
obeyed to the one word of Jesus , '' CALM DOWN ''. by having a closer
look at the scriptures , the package of many turbulent troubles which
are persisting in our lives are being piled up into the likeness of a
huge troublesome mountain and Jesus was talking about this particular
mountain . today he is asking us to utilize our faith in God who
performs wonders which cannot be fathom by any nation .

God is too willingly to ''CALM DOWN'' and cast out the mountain of
every trouble from your lives today itself . every storm like
circumstance shall be wiped out from your life . but, at the same time
he wants us to act on the works of faith . The bible says; from the
fruit of his mouth a man's stomach is filled , with the harvest from
his lips he is satisfied . [Prv 18:20 .] say to the troubled-mountain
of your life to get away in the name of jesus. so shall it be for sure
and it will come to pass . you will witness by yourself watching the
mountain of troubles falling at your feet and landing at the depth of
the sea never comming back . act on the work of you faith to see the
glory of God to manifest in your life. claim it today for God is
working .

Loving heavenly father God,
Grant us more faith to believe in your awesome wonders . you are the
God who can turn the things upside down in no time . today , even as i
prophecy against all the adversities of my life in Jesus name , let it
come to pass . turn my turbulent times into everlasting joy . perform
awesome miracles now .

In the powerful name of  Jesus I prophecy and pray .
Amen !
