TRANSFORMATION BY GRACE…IF YOU BELIEVE

A moment of revelation of a word from God to you will change your life! At that moment, what He has done for you through Jesus becomes your reality, and your life is forever changed. This is God’s gift of grace. Nothing that comes against you, no problem or temptation, can alter this grace. Grace isn’t something out there, elusive, or hard to find. Grace is an experience from God, His movement toward you through Jesus. It is not about you trying to be good enough to receive something from Him, but a profound truth understood and experienced only by the empowerment of the Holy Spirit.

Grace came upon you when you believed in Jesus Christ as God’s Son. At that moment, you went through a spiritual or inner transformation. Your old identity (your sinful nature) was “co-crucified with Christ and no longer lives” (Galatians 2:20 TPT). Instead, “the Anointed One lives His life through you; you live in union as one” (Galatians 2:20 TPT). Now “your new life is empowered by the faith of the Son of God who loves you so much that He gave Himself for you, dispensing His life into you” (Galatians 2:20 TPT). Jesus created a miracle in you by His sacrifice! He activated a change and released God’s divine personality, His righteousness into you by suffering and dying for you (Galatians 2:21). Actually, the moment Jesus became a human, born an infant through a human being, He was moving toward you with the gift of grace. Now it is your journey to discover this gift, this miraculous change within you. Jesus’s action worked a miracle for every human being who would accept His gift. To accept it, each person must believe. This is the work God asked us to do, only BELIEVE (John 6:29; John 11:40)!

If God dispensed His life into you, you are capable, holy, and without sin. These qualities are not the result of self-effort but are directly from God. You are just like Him by grace (1 John 4:17)! You possess His qualities, the fruit of the Spirit, that cause you to be empowered, to be patient, good, kind, and loving; to be peaceful no matter the circumstances; free from anxiety, worry, fear, and confusion because you have been blessed with a sound mind (Galatians 5:22,23; 2 Timothy 1:7). His life within you heals the sick, raises the dead, and shares abundantly. His supply to you never diminishes. You are always victorious against satan, exercising His faith within you, and living an overcomer's life. God has established you with His fullness so that you remain well-balanced, steadfast, and enduring (1 Peter 5:8 Amp). In union with Jesus, you rise above storms and endure temptation with His equipping, always experiencing victory because He has established it.

By this gift of grace, you abide in Jesus; you are restored to wholeness by Him. You live intimately connected. With His life dispensed into yours, your life is not your own. God Almighty, through Jesus, now lives through you! How shall you respond? How shall you live? What will you believe? You are in partnership with His divine nature (2 Peter 1:4) and share inwardly His likeness (Romans 8:29). His fullness, the fullness of His glory, is living, present within you for all the world to see. But you must believe!

And what does this mean for living life on this earth? Jesus Christ lives through you, that you may present Him to the world in all of His fullness! He lives life through you, and you live life through Him. This truth should cause an expectation of living life as Jesus did; you are capable in Him of living in His characteristics and abilities. Do not assess yourself by human understanding or measurement. This is His gift of grace, which can only be assessed by His Word if you believe…
