Grace and Glory

“And all of us, as with unveiled face, [because we] continued to behold [ in the Word of God ] as in a mirror the glory of The LORD, are constantly being transfigured into His very own image in ever increasing splendor and from one degree of glory to another; [ for this comes ] from The LORD [ Who is ] the Spirit.” 2 Corinthians 3:18 AMP.

“But by the grace of God I AM what I AM: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.” 1 Corinthians 15:10 KJV.

“As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.” 1 Peter 4:10 KJV.

“I AM in the process of imparting a new level of glory to My Church, that will radiate out to the world and bring in the largest Harvest the world has ever seen.

So I AM doing some finishing touches on My Bride to make her ready. I AM taking all the bondage, idolatry, fear, rejection, rebellion, and unbelief out of My Children, that they might be able to receive all that I want to pour out in them.

Do not think it a strange thing beloved if you are going through difficult times. I do know what I AM doing My Love.

I now what it takes to change a generation. I know what it will take to change the younger generation. And many of you I AM preparing to minister to them life and hope, resurrection from the dead and Restoration.

So I AM preparing you and exposing you to situations that provoke you to closer relationship with Me, that provoke you to learning more of Me and how to minister.

Glory is heavy. It is like a weight. And like something that is heavy, it crushes . It will crush your pride.

It will crush your rebellion, and it will crush all unbelief in My church. Although it may look as if I have taken my hand off you, in fact I have placed it heavier upon you to bring forth the crushing I desire.

I want to eradicate all that will resist ME, that is in your souls. I will do all that it takes to get you to the place of a higher level of functioning in My Kingdom!

I will in no way leave anyone out who really is willing to GO for ME!

I AM calling many sons and daughters in this hour to lay down their lives and to do My Will. If you are willing, I can work with that heart.

But if not, then I will search for others who are willing.

Transformation is coming. Transfiguration is coming, to restore My Holiness and My Power to these end times generations.

Do not think I will leave out your sons and daughters either! I have great Plans for them! You will see your heart’s desire to have them walk in My Ways!

Continue to speak My Word over them, and watch how I will Restore them!

Radical changes are coming, My beloveds, and I will explode in the marketplace in ways that will startle even the most casual and complacent observer!

Know that is will not be by might nor by your power that this comes. It comes when I will. It comes how I will.

It comes the way I want! The Fire of My Love will consume the most stubborn heart who is at least willing!

What I do will be way off the charts compared to what you have seen or are used to. So don’t be surprised when things start to happen that astound you.

I AM going to dazzle you My beloveds! I AM going to lay waste the enemy of your soul through all I do in and through you!

Worship Me and stay in My Word.

Use it to develop your spiritual immune system so that you can fight off all the strategies of the enemy.

I AM so in Love with You Me Bride! I AM enraptured with love for My own. I will make all the crooked places straight and level all the high hills.

I will lead the blind by a way they have not known, and you will Rejoice in this hour as you see the mighty things Your God will bestow on you.

I AM the All Consuming Fire and I will burn up all the dross!“

Song came to mind: “I’m in the mood for love, simply because you’re near me, Darling for when you’re near me, I’m in the mood for love!”

The LORD is singing love songs to His beloveds. He is wooing His Bride and courting her to greater intimacy with Him !

“Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace. And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.” Romans 11:5-6 KJV.

“And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I AM weak, then am I strong. I AM become a fool in glorying; ye have compelled me: for I ought to have been commended of you: for in nothing am I behind the very chiefest apostles, though I be nothing.” 2 Corinthians 12:9-11 KJV.

“To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;” Ephesians 1:6-7 KJV.

“Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.” Hebrews 4:16 KJV.

“But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.” 2 Peter 3:18 KJV.

“And all of us have had that veil removed so that we can be mirrors that brightly reflect the glory of The LORD. And as the Spirit of The LORD works within us, we become more and more like him and reflect his glory even more.” 2 Corinthians 3:18 NLT.

“But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of The LORD, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of The LORD.” 2 Corinthians 3:18 NKJV.

Grace, Grace and More Grace

“How much Grace do you want from Me?

How much Mercy do you want from Me?

Then that is the measure you should show unto others as well. Think on how many times each day you have fallen short of the mark?

How many times have you spoken what is not of Me?

How many times have you judged another, yet have been guilty of that sin in your own life?

How many times have you been angry at someone out of proportion to their offense?

How many times have you spoken nastily to get back at someone?

How many times have you been guilty of pride?

I tell you again that the one who shows no mercy will receive none. You Reap what you Sow!

The sky pours down rain and snow and the earth reaps water for it’s plants. What do you want to plant?

Should you not plant mercy? For mercy I tell you, triumphs over judgment!

Plant kindness and honor, respect and trust and you will receive those things, and if you plant hate and judgment, you will reap hate and judgment!

Plant anger and bitterness and you will reap anger and bitterness!

Plant pride and you will be treated with pride from others.

But if you plant Humility, then you will reap humility back.

What kind of harvest do you want?

You sow in Generosity and you will reap Generosity!

You withhold and are stingy then that will be done to you when you need help!

All of creation is in balance and runs on the principle of sowing and reaping. Do you really want to reap all that you have sown?

Out of My Grace, you do not even reap the total of all you’ve sown, because of My Love!

Do you still not understand, My beloveds, The Love that I poured out for you?

If you limit love, then it will be limited to you. If you withhold then it will be withheld from you.

This is a natural law, and a principle of My Kingdom.

My death and resurrection came to establish Grace and Mercy, instead of judgment and punishment.”

“Surely He has borne our griefs (sicknesses, weaknesses, and distresses) and carried our sorrows and pains [of punishment], yet we [ignorantly] considered Him stricken, smitten, and afflicted by God [as if with leprosy]. [Matthew 8:17.] But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our guilt and iniquities; the chastisement [needful to obtain] peace and well-being for us was upon Him, and with the stripes [that wounded] Him we are healed and made whole. All we like sheep have gone astray, we have turned every one to his own way; and The LORD has made to light upon Him the guilt and iniquity of us all. [1 Peter 2:24,25.]” Isaiah 53:4-6 AMP.

“For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
“MY GRACE IS SUFFICIENT FOR YOU I SAID. I want you to think on this beloveds. I AM able to give you all the grace you need in any situation to endure, to overcome, to pass through, to destroy the enemy, to do the right thing, but you must HUMBLE yourself and come to ME to ask for it!” John 1:17 NIV.

“Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. Again I say, if YOU want and need grace and mercy, how much more then should you give it to others who are in need of it? Remember the parable of the unjust servant?” Hebrews 4:16 NIV.

“The Parable of the Unforgiving Servant Then Peter came to Him and said, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?” Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven.
Therefore the kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants. And when he had begun to settle accounts, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents. But as he was not able to pay, his master commanded that he be sold, with his wife and children and all that he had, and that payment be made. The servant therefore fell down before him, saying, ‘Master, have patience with me, and I will pay you all.’ Then the master of that servant was moved with compassion, released him, and forgave him the debt. “But that servant went out and found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii; and he laid hands on him and took him by the throat, saying, ‘Pay me what you owe!’ So his fellow servant fell down at his feet and begged him, saying, ‘Have patience with me, and I will pay you all.’
And he would not, but went and threw him into prison till he should pay the debt. So when his fellow servants saw what had been done, they were very grieved, and came and told their master all that had been done. Then his master, after he had called him, said to him, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you begged me. Should you not also have had compassion on your fellow servant, just as I had pity on you?’ And his master was angry, and delivered him to the torturers until he should pay all that was due to him. “So My heavenly Father also will do to you if each of you, from his heart, does not forgive his brother his trespasses.”“ Matthew 18:21-35 NKJV.

“I tell you truly, that if you do not forgive others, neither will I forgive you!

If I, Who grieve over the sins you commit, yet forgive them readily, then why do you hold on to the wrongs you think others do?

Should you not be like Your Adonai, Your LORD and Master?

Do you not pray to be like Me?

Then forgive, as you have been forgiven.

Do not presume to know another’s heart.

Do not judge the world for the world is already condemned.”

“He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.” John 3:18-21 NKJV.

“But Jesus knew their thoughts, and said to them: “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand.”“ Matthew 12:25 NKJV.

“But Jesus knew what they were thinking and said to the man with the shriveled hand, “Get up and stand in front of everyone.” So he got up and stood there.” Luke 6:7-8 NIV.

“Again I say to you, Love your enemies! Be good to those who hate you!

Pray for those who spitefully use you! Repay the evil done to you with good.

For what good is it if you only love those who love you, I said!

Let your love be greater than that of the Pharisees, and it will be given to you, good measured and pressed down and overflowing!

If a man bids you walk with him a mile, walk two, I said. Be generous, as I AM Generous!”

“If your enemy is hungry, give him bread to eat; And if he is thirsty, give him water to drink; For so you will heap coals of fire on his head, and The LORD will reward you.” Proverbs 25:21-22 NKJV.

“A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil. For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.” Luke 6:45 NKJV

“And He sat down, called the twelve, and said to them, “If anyone desires to be first, he shall be last of all and servant of all.”” Mark 9:35-36 NKJV.

“Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men. If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men. Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says The LORD.” Romans 12:17-20 NKJV

“So that we ourselves boast of you among the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that you endure, which is manifest evidence of the righteous judgment of God, that you may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you also suffer; since it is a righteous thing with God to repay with tribulation those who trouble you.” 2 Thessalonians 1:4-6 NKJV.
