Walk of grace

A “walk of grace” becomes a lifestyle into God where Jesus, the Christ Himself, is able to express His life through us. We know that godliness is God’s ability to express His life within us. And grace, which came through Jesus Christ, is His life’s expression within those who receive the work of grace. Power is expressed in our life when we live our life in the Holy Spirit—how wonderful that is.

Grace is divine assistance

We saw a hypnotist on television tell several people, when he clapped his hands, they would become a monkey, a donkey, a cat, and he even told one man that he would become James Bond. When the hypnotist clapped, the man he told to be a monkey, began walking around the stage on his knuckles and scratching his sides. It was the same with the men he told to be the donkey and the cat. They took on the characteristics of the animals. The man told to act like James Bond began slipping around the stage like a spy. It was funny watching people act out what had been suggested to them.

Becoming Holy

Nothing on Earth can make us holy. Contact with a holy God is the only source of holiness for unholy men. However, becoming holy is also a daily process. If it were not a daily process, then the Holy Spirit could have made the world instantly holy and free from sin as soon as God raised Jesus from the dead. But the death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ, demands full cooperation from everyone who receives this glorious salvation. The salvation that comes from the resurrection of Christ wraps itself within a seed, the incorruptible seed of the Word of God. That living seed of salvation makes contact with our dead spirit and soul, bringing us to life for a second time since our existence on the planet Earth.

Spirit & truth worship

Is it truly in man to worship God, whom he can’t see, in Spirit and in Truth? The Scriptures say that God is seeking such to worship Him. They don’t really reveal however, that He found anyone who fits that description. I think the only possibility to obtain this kind of Spirit and Truth worship, is if we draw near to God, and allow Him to draw near to us. We may then come close to this God-desired worship. God does not yet have the church that He desires, nor has He the church that He said He would have. But if there will ever be anyone who receives exactly what He says, it will be God. The Holy Spirit is working diligently to accomplish exactly what the Father has said. Jesus said the church would be victorious, so much so, that the gates of hell would not prevail against it.
