John 1:16 And of His fullness we have all received, and grace for grace.
Hebrews 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need
I know GRACE as the ability to stand besides being the unmerited favor of God. We come boldly to the throne of grace (abilities to stand). We come to find the ability to stand in prayer. We come to find the ability to stand in waiting in the secret place.
Before He died, the 3 kept on falling asleep while he asked them to stay awake and pray with Him in the garden of Gethsemane. That’s not our story. We’ve found the grace to watch and pray.
We’ve found the ability to stand in dreams and visions. We take keen notice of them and record them, scroll them or interpret them.
John 1:16 We all live off his generous bounty, gift after gift after gift. (Msg)
We’ve found the grace (ability to stand) for prophecy. Spirit help us shape our future, as we also not grow weary to thank but continue to frame (our worlds) that which you foretold in the past.
We’ve found grace to be PATIENT. To see your plans manifold. To see it all working for good like Joseph in prison. We stand in the journey! That you were not a man to lie. That you spoke and it shall surely stand.
We’ve found the ability to stand in all your giftings Holy Spirit. Healings, Miracles, prophecy, New Tongues, Words of Wisdom & Knowledge, Faith, discernment, and interpretation of tongues.
We’ve found grace to study, to work, to pray, to juggle all these in between. Grace to REST and to enter your rest. We’ve found the ability to stand — working from your rest! The grace to raise kings and queens. To raise priests and priestesses. We’ve found it. Our children shall not turn out like Eli’s. They’ll not turn out like Samuel’s. They are taught by you. Great is their peace. They’ll serve you more than we ever did.
We’ve found the grace to wait for your Kairos. To wait for our spouses. The ability to stand on your word. It comes to pass. The grace of understanding. That light travels faster than sound, and that by the time they’ll hear the thunder, the lightning would have already flashed. Oh it’s already done!
1 Samuel 7:4 So the children of Israel put away the Baals and the Ashtoreths, and served the LORD only.
We’ve found the grace, the ability to stand in putting away other gods. The dagons are smashed before you. At the call of you, at the entry of you!
The ability to stand in our special giftings we’ve received. In being a doctor or a consultant or human resourcer or business mogul or artist or philosopher!!!
1 Samuel 8:19 Nevertheless the people refused to obey the voice of Samuel; and they said, “No, but we will have a king over us,
We’ve found the grace to have God as our personal King and not anyone else. We stand in it. He’s the king of our hearts! And no one else. We’ll not lean on our own understanding but trust Him. We receive grace for that as well. We stand in it!
In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
