The Liberality of Grace

Beloved Ones, these are the days of My merciful grace, My favorable presence to bring us into harmonious relationship that bears an abundance of good fruitfulness. Would you receive the abundance of this precious grace in vain? I have given this gift of grace with all liberality…it is like an open faucet…pouring out the water of life. Would you let it be wasted to just go down into the drainpipes and mingle with the waste-filled sludge of the sewer unused?
My grace is freely given for your sanctification for holiness…for your benefit and the good of My Kingdom. My grace is joyfully given for your rejoicing. My Holy Spirit yearns jealously to give more grace…a greater grace to those who will humble themselves to submit to God, resist the lures of the devil, and purify themselves from double-mindedness. Come under the faucet of My grace and drink deeply, washing yourselves of worldly ways and thinking. Be transformed, and changed dramatically…even to the point of being converted from one form of energy to another…a different energy…a heavenly minded, Kingdom energy…an energy that is given to empower you to works of grace that prove the good and acceptable and perfect will of God in these days. THIS is the joyful purpose of My merciful grace to you!
There is grace for you to know Me through the sevenfold Spirit of God…the Spirit of favor, the Spirit of wisdom, the Spirit of understanding, the Spirit of counsel, the Spirit of mighty power, the Spirit of knowledge, the Spirit of the fear of the Lord. These are the seven Spirits which are before the throne of the Most High God. The same, by the Holy Spirit, are available for your transformation through grace.
I AM the One who loves you and freely washed you from your sins in My own blood, and has made you to be kings and priests to God, the Father. I AM the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, who is and who was and who is to come. I AM the Almighty God. With God nothing will be impossible because of My grace!

Grace For Sanctification

Beloved Ones, you were chosen by God for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth for the glory of Jesus Christ. It is My grace which equips you with power for this work of faith, your sanctification…being separated and set apart from worldly ways in obedience to My word. Do not receive the precious gift of My grace in vain. My grace is given to help you to cleanse yourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. How often do you say that you want to know the will of God in a matter? Well, your sanctification is the will of God! You are not restricted by anyone except yourself and your own selfish affections. I want each of you to know how to posses your own vessel in sanctification and honor, not in passion of lust like those who do not know God.
Do you know that there is a suffering that is according to the will of God? Suffering is part of your sanctification process. Even Jesus Christ, My Son, learned obedience by the things which He suffered and having been perfected, He became the author or eternal salvation to all who OBEY Him. “Learned” means to be increased in the knowledge of the person and also to increase in applying the understanding of that knowledge so as to be joined and united with it in such a way as to walk differently. Through Jesus you have received grace for obedience to the faith. You who are the called of Jesus Christ have been given the Son of God with power according to the Spirit of holiness because I have called you to be holy as I AM holy. He who rejects this does not reject man, but God, who has given you My Holy Spirit. Therefore be even more diligent to make your call and election sure. Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, knowing that I AM causing you both to will and to do for My good pleasure. There is a peril of not progressing, but I AM confident of better things concerning you, things that occur with salvation. Receive My grace for sanctification by the Spirit and faith in the truth of My word. Learn obedience by the things that you suffer, knowing that I have loved you and given you everlasting consolation and good hope by grace, to comfort your hearts and to strengthen, establish, and perfect you in every good word and work.
