Sufficient Grace

 

       Christianity is a one time gift based on the grace of God.  However, our journey in our relationship with God never ends.  It takes time and perseverance.  When things get hard, don't give up.  He is there even if you may feel alone in the moment.  

    Continue to allow vision flow through you.  Allow yourself to have revelations even when it appears meaningless.  Don't give up even when it seems like nothing is happening because that is sometimes when the most is happening.  It is just on the inside.  The thing is salvation is a personal relationship.  The personal aspect is not for the world, but for you.  God personalizes His approach for what you need.

    Speak His truth and remove the idea of "your truth".  Satan will manipulate "your truth" to suite whatever mischief he has planned, but God's truth never changes.  Your truth becomes boasting and it could be boasting over a sinful lifestyle.  Speak truth with restraint because not everyone is ready to hear everything all at one time.  Most people need to get certain messages in layers of truth.  

    Keep control over conceit or God may place a thorn in your flesh to control it for you.  The thorn could be spiritual, physical, or phycological.  Some challenges God will chose not to remove from your life.  He wants you to accept your human weakness and rely on His grace.    

    God's power is revealed perfectly in our weakness when we accept His grace.  It is then that we can appreciate our own weakness and really understand the benefits of His grace.  Persevere through your inferiority and forgive yourself for not being perfect.  Only a fool would not learn anything from suffering in life.

    Your ministry is people.  It is hard because people can be horrible, but God cares about people not possessions.  Use His grace to strengthen yourself to give strength to other people.  You can strengthen other people by quenching quarrels, jealousy, angry outburst, selfishness, factions, slander, gossip, arrogance, and disorder.  These are the telltale signs of a false prophet.

    You have to break through your own issues to help other people.  That means you need to find your humility and grieve over your own sin before you point out sin to anyone else.  Sin should grieve you.  Once your sin breaks your heart, then you are ready to face unrepentance sin, impurity, sexual sin, and debauchery.  It is your job to call them out and put light on why they are so harmful.  Never indulge them, but call them out (from a place of love for the person/people) for what they are: deadly sin.  They are still longstanding sins that seem to consume people and destroy church families.
