“In Him we have redemption (deliverance and salvation) through His blood, the remission (forgiveness) of our offenses (shortcomings and trespasses), in accordance with the riches and the generosity of His gracious favor, which He lavished upon us in every kind of wisdom and understanding (practical insight and prudence), making known to us the mystery (secret) of His will (of His plan, of His purpose). [and it is this:] In accordance with His good pleasure (His merciful intention) which He had previously purposed and set forth in Him, [He planned] for the maturity of the times and the climax of the ages to unify all things and head them up and consummate them in Christ, [both] things in heaven and things on the earth.” Ephesians 1:7-10 AMP.
“Assuming that you have heard of the stewardship of God’s grace (His unmerited favor) that was entrusted to me [to dispense to you] for your benefit, [and] that the mystery (secret) was made known to me and I was allowed to comprehend it by direct revelation, as I already briefly wrote you. When you read this you can understand my insight into the mystery of Christ.
[This mystery] was never disclosed to human beings in past generations as it has now been revealed to His holy apostles (consecrated messengers) and prophets by the [Holy] Spirit.” Ephesians 3:2-5 AMP.
“The dispensation of My Grace has no end to anyone who is willing to repent and confess that Jesus Christ is LORD and the promised Messiah!
My Grace is unending and steadfast. It is something undeserved and given through My Providence and Compassion. It is not hoarded by a specific few, but available to all.
The kind of Christianity practiced now in the west compared to what it will be, is of substantial difference.
There has been sloppy grace some call it, and there has been a trampling on Grace like the Nicolaitans.
There has been a great lack of Grace in The Church overall, which should be the dispenser of great Grace.
Paul was sent to offer Grace. My Apostles were Ambassadors of My Grace and Kindness, My Power and Love. That is what I want you to be!
You are to put on the new man, and put away the old man, that is given to judging, criticism, condemning, and pride.
You are to put on the new man, who is given to gentleness, kindness, faith, love, courage, humility, etc.
Too few are healed and delivered in The Church, because of wrong doctrines and lack of sound teaching to converts that prepares them for facing the world, the devil and their fleshly concerns.
Many have been faithful, but just as many have not, which has left My Sheep scattered on the high hills of the earth for having been maligned and misunderstood and unloved.
I desire to pour out My Love on all flesh and to grant grace to anyone who will receive it. I AM a Restorer and a Repairer of the breech and that is who I have called you to be!
Think how you were when you first came to Christ. Think of the mess you were in. Grant to everyone around you the same grace I have given to you!
Do not disdain the poor and unlovely, but grant Love to people who don’t deserve it, and it changes things!
I changed you in the same way. I AM the same, yesterday, today and tomorrow. As I come and do My great work in your midst, amidst the turmoil and troubles of these times, remember My Great Grace granted to you and give to others that same Grace.
There are two kinds you are to dispense. There is the Grace that is undeserved Mercy and there is the grace that is My Power to heal and cleanse, and deliver.
If you will give the first, you will be able to give the second kind.”
“We love Him because He first loved us.” 1 John 4:19.
“….that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, and be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness.” Ephesians 4:22-24.
“Let not mercy and kindness [shutting out all hatred and selfishness] and truth [shutting out all deliberate hypocrisy or falsehood] forsake you; bind them about your neck, write them upon the tablet of your heart. [Colossians 3:9-12.]” Proverbs 3:3 AMP.
“For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.” Galatians 5:13.
” Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself.” Philippians 2:3.
” For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. ” Romans 5:6-8.
