“…What we have RECEIVED is not the Spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may understand what God has freely given us.
…” (2 Corinthians 2:12-15 KJV).
“….ye shall
receive the GIFT of the Holy … [SPIRIT]…” (Acts 2:38 KJV).
“…GOD IS SPIRIT…”
(John 4:24 KJV). “…the
Spirit of God (THE GIFT) dwell in you…” (Romans 8:9 KJV).
“…FREELY YE HAVE
RECEIVED...”
(Matthew 10:8 KJV). “[God, through
Christ]… FREELY GIVE US all things?...” (Romans 8:32 KJV).
*
JESUS (THE WORD OF GOD) SAID: "…The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me
to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and
recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, To
preach the acceptable year of the Lord…”
(John 4:16-21 KJV).
“…God
anointed Jesus of Nazareth (HOW?) with the Holy Ghost (THE GIFT) and WITH POWER: (WHAT DID JESUS DO?) who
went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; (HOW WAS JESUS ABLE TO DO GOOD & HEAL THE OPPRESSED?) for GOD (WHO IS SPIRIT) WAS WITH HIM.
And we are witnesses of all things which
he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem…” (Acts 10:38-39
KJV).
“…What we
have RECEIVED (THE GIFT OF THE "HOLY" SPIRIT) is not the Spirit of the world, but the Spirit who
is from God (GOD IS SPIRIT), so that we may understand what God has freely given us.
…” (2 Corinthians 2:12-15 KJV). “….ye shall
receive the GIFT of the Holy … [SPIRIT]…” (Acts 2:38 KJV). “…GOD IS SPIRIT…”
(John 4:24 KJV). “…the
Spirit of God (THE GIFT) dwell in you…” (Romans 8:9 KJV).“…FREELY YE HAVE
RECEIVED. (THE GIFT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT)..”
(Matthew 10:8 KJV).
What motivates God to
freely GIVE mankind all these spiritual blessings? “…Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord
Jesus Christ, who HATH blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ…”
(Romans 1:3 KJV).
The answer is his
DIVINE Love motivates him. “…God SO LOVED the world, that he GAVE…” (John
3:16). “…Herein is love, not that we
loved God,
but that HE
LOVED US...” (1 John 4:10 KJV). “We love,
because HE FIRST
LOVED US…” (1 John 4:19 ASV). God “…SPARED
NOT his own Son, but delivered him up FOR US ALL…” (Romans 8:32 KJV). “Now, most people
would not be willing to die for an upright person, though someone might perhaps
be willing to die for a person who is especially good. But God SHOWED HIS GREAT LOVE FOR US by sending Christ to die for us
while we were still sinners…”
(Romans 5:7-9 NLT). “…There is
no greater love than to lay down one’s life…” (John 15:13 NLT).
“…Who will separate us from the love of [Christ? … [Nothing]…will be
able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord…”(Romans
8:31-39 NASB). He has “….loved
[you]...with an everlasting
love….” (Jeremiah 31:3 KJV).
Mankind became separated from God, nonetheless, but HOW? “… [Their] … iniquities (sin) …separated
[them]… from God… …” (Isaiah 59:2
KJV). “…It’s YOUR SINS that have cut you off from God…”
(Isaiah 59:2 NLT). “…Your INIQUITIES have separated between you and your God…”
(Isaiah 59:2 KJV).
What caused the
separation?
“…through one man SIN
entered into the world, and DEATH
THROUGH SIN, and so DEATH passed to all men—“(Romans 5:12 KJV). . “…the wages of sin is death…” (Romans 6:23 KJV).
“…There is none righteous,
no, not one:” (Romans 3:10 KJV).
“…There is not a just man upon earth,
that doeth good, and sinneth not…” (Ecclesiastes 7:20 KJV). “…ALL HAVE SINNED and fallen short of the glory of God…” (Romans
3:23).
Mankind became separation from God, the Holy Spirit's, presence, but NOT his love. What did God do to SHOW he still loved them?“…God SHOWED HIS GREAT
LOVE FOR US by sending Christ to die for us while
we were still sinners…” (Romans 5:7-9 NLT). God …sent His Son to be the propitiation (substitute,
intervention) for our sins.” (1 John 4:10 KJV). “…[God]…sent
His Son...” (1 John 4:10
KJV). “…He gave his only begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth in him, should not perish, but have everlasting life…” (John 3:16 KJV).
How did Jesus, the WORD, help the separation between, God, the HOLY Spirit and mankind? “…He [became]… the atoning sacrifice for our sins…” (1 John
2:2 NIV). Jesus also became “…the Lamb of God,
which taketh away the sin of the world”
(John 1:29 KJV). “…Christ
…died for sins ONCE for all, the just for the unjust, so that He might bring us to God…”
(1 Peter 3:18 NASB). “…he (Jesus) by the grace
of God should taste death for every man…” (Hebrews 3:9 KJV).
What does Jesus, the WORD, DO for you when you confess your SIN? “…If we confess our sins, he (the WORD) is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to
cleanse us from all unrighteousness…” (1 John 1:9 KJV).“…Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy
lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies BLOT OUT “MY”
TRANSGRESSIONS (sin). WASH ME THROUGHLY FROM “MINE” INIQUITY (sin), and CLEANSE ME FROM “MY
SIN.” For I acknowledge my TRANSGRESSIONS (sins): and “MY SIN” is ever before me. AGAINST THEE (God),
THEE ONLY, HAVE “I SINNED” AND DONE THIS EVIL IN THY SIGHT…”
(Psalms 51:1-4 KJV). “Create in me a clean
heart, O God…” (Psalms 51:10-19 KJV). “…For
I will forgive
their wickedness and will remember their sins no more…"
(Hebrews 8:12 NIV). His “…love
covereth a multitude of sins…” (Proverbs 10:12, 1 Peter 4:8
ASV).
God specially created Jesus, the human vessel, to
die while we were ALL still filthy, unworthy sinners. “…sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners…”
(Romans 5:7-9 NLT). How does God’s Grace in Jesus find us? "It is written in the prophets, 'AND THEY
SHALL ALL BE TAUGHT OF GOD.' Every one that hath HEARD and hath LEARNED of the
Father, cometh to me…” (John 6:45 KJV). “..If I
(Jesus, the WORD) be lifted up from the earth, WILL DRAW all men unto me…”
(John 12:32 KJV).
What is important to KNOW about Jesus? “… He (Jesus) had a name written, that no man
knew … his name is called The
Word of God…” (Revelation 19:12-13 NASB). The WORDs of God are SPIRIT. “…THE WORDS THAT I
SPEAK unto you, they ARE SPIRIT …” (John 6:63
KJV). “…GOD IS SPIRIT…”
(John 4:24 KJV). Jesus, the WORD said: "I and my Father are [not simply close,
but]…ONE." (John 10:30 KJV). This unity is, first and foremost, HOLY and unique
to God and Jesus (Deuteronomy 6:4). JESUS is The WORD of GOD. Thus, Jesus (THE WORD) is also SPIRIT.
God is Spirit. “…GOD IS SPIRIT…”
(John 4:24 KJV). Jesus (the word)
is SPIRIT. “…The Lord (the WORD) is that Spirit
[too!]…” (2 Corinthians 3:17 KJV). God is Spirit and Jesus, the Word is Spirit. “… I and my Father are ONE…”
(John 10:30 KJV).
What POWERFUL thing can HAPPEN after people HEAR and LEARN
of the Word of God? “… [THE WORD] … is the power of God at work , saving everyone who
believes (hears, learns, and depends)…”
(Romans 1:16 NLT). They can “…RECEIVE with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to SAVE [their]… souls…”
(James 1:21 KJV).“…BY GRACE have ye been saved THROUGH FAITH; and that NOT OF YOURSELVES, IT IS THE GIFT OF GOD; not of works, that no man should
glory…”
(Ephesians 2:8-9 ASV).
“..Being
justified FREELY by his grace…” (Romans 3:24 KJV). “…we have
access by faith into this grace wherein we stand...” (Romans 5:2
KJV). “…being justified by his grace…”
(Titus 3:7 KJV). “…To the praise of the glory of his grace,
wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved…” (Ephesians 1:6 KJV).
How does receiving the
Word of God SAVE me or justify me, or make me accepted? “..The WORD OF GOD is
“…the POWER of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth…” (Romans 1:16 KJV). “… IT IS THE GIFT OF GOD…”
(Ephesians 2:8-9 ASV).
During the “the power of God (THE PROCESS) unto salvation” God is at work (Romans 1:16 KJV). “…God ...[sends]… forth the Spirit (the GIFT) of His Son (the
WORD) “INTO” [y]OUR HEARTS…” (Galatians 4:6 NASB). Thus, “…the Holy Spirit (the GIFT) gives birth to SPIRITUAL LIFE…”
(John 3:6 NLT). THE SOUL IS UNITED AGAIN WITH GOD, THE HOLY SPIRIT. “…He
that is joined [by Jesus] is ONE spirit… [OR
united with the HOLY God]” (1 Corinthians 6:17 KJV). Along
with hearing the Word and receiving God’s Spirit; spiritual faith is transferred to you. “…FAITH
[also]… COMETH BY HEARING
…THE WORD OF GOD…” (Roman
10:17 KJV). “…The grace of
our Lord was poured out on me (or transferred to me) abundantly, ALONG WITH FAITH (the power to depend upon God) … that are “IN” Christ Jesus…” (1 Timothy 1:13-14 NIV).
Therefore, “…We
have obtained our introduction by faith (dependency) into this GRACE (undeserved FAVOR) in which we stand…”
(Romans 5:2 NASB). “…a right relationship with God …comes by faith (dependency upon the GRACE of God)…” (Romans 4:13 NASB). “… [God] … [makes] …us ACCEPTED in the beloved (Jesus Christ)…”
(Ephesians 1:6 KJV).
Did you do anything to earn, deserve, or
be worthy of God’s GRACE (unmerited FAVOR) through Jesus? “…Christ …[died]… for us while we were “STILL” sinners…”
(Romans 5:7-9 NLT). “…BY GRACE have ye been saved THROUGH FAITH (total dependency upon God); and that NOT OF YOURSELVES, IT IS THE (FREE) GIFT OF GOD; not of
works, that no man should glory…”
(Ephesians 2:8-9 ASV). “…the GRACE (unmerited FAVOR) of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men…” (Titus 2:11 KJV).
SALVATION, by GRACE (unmerited FAVOR) through FAITH (the power to depend upon God) "IS" FREE?
“…the FREE gift…” (Romans 5:15 KJV). “….the [FREE]… gift of God is
eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord…” (Romans 6:23 KJV). “…BY
GRACE have ye been saved …”
(Ephesians 2:8-9 ASV). “…Since it is through God’s
kindness, then it is not by their good works. For in that case, God’s GRACE would not be what it
really is—free
and undeserved…” (Romans 11:5 NLT).“…The grace of
our Lord was poured out on me (or transferred to me) abundantly, ALONG WITH FAITH (the power to depend upon God) … that are “IN” Christ Jesus…” (1 Timothy 1:13-14 NIV).
What is this GRACE? God’s GRACE in a
nutshell is his UNMERITED, UNDESERVED, UNEARNED, AND UNWORTHY, BUT "FREE" favor of God toward mankind. “…For God saved us and called us to live a HOLY life (a life free from the bondage of sin). He did this, not because we
DESERVED it, but because that
was his plan from before the beginning of time—to show us his GRACE (undeserved FAVORS) through Christ Jesus (the FREE gift of God)…” (2 Timothy 1:9 NLT). “…A few of the people of Israel have remained
faithful because of God’s GRACE—his UNDESERVED
kindness in choosing them…” (Romans 11:4 NLT).
UNMERITED favor means ABSOLUTELY nothing
was done to DESERVE it, but it was FREELY GIVEN to you anyway and emanates from God’s
divine, loving, KIND nature. “…God is love…” (1 John 4:4-8 KJV). “…… [God’s]…love is kind…” (1 Corinthians
13: 4-8 NIV). “…the
fruit of the Spirit is… gentleness (kindness)…” (Galatians 5:22-23
KJV). “…For God saved us ... not because we
DESERVED it, but ...—to show us his GRACE (undeserved FAVORS, kindness) through Christ Jesus …” (2 Timothy 1:9 NLT). “…God’s GRACE—his UNDESERVED
kindness …” (Romans 11:4 NLT).
Grace may be one of the
hardest concepts to embrace, especially in the western culture. Growing up in
the U. S. you are taught nothing in life is FREE and you have to EARN, DESERVE,
and be WORTHY of everything; including love. “…Since [salvation]… is through God’s kindness, then
it is not by … good works. For in that case, God’s GRACE would
not be what it really is—free and undeserved…” (Romans 11:5 NLT).
In many cases, earning,
deserving, and being worthy becomes a lifelong effort to be some idea of
perfection to keep the favors of those whose love and acceptance you covet.
If you don’t maintain
that idea of perfection or keep the favor and acceptance of your coveted people
usually there is NO Grace waiting for you on the other side.
I have been there. I
have been the person with the endless task of trying to be some idea of perfect
in order to sustain the favor and acceptance of people I deemed important to
me. “…ye are not under
the law (the never ending dos and don'ts of life), but under GRACE (unmerited FAVOR)…” (Romans
6:14 KJV).
So, you may THINK, "IF" I can’t sustain, or earn, or
deserve, or be worthy of a finite human’s continual favor, what chance do I
have with a Holy God. Certainly, I am not good enough to deserve ANYTHING from a HOLY God.
However, God’s GRACE (unmerited FAVOR and KINDNESS) empowered and strengthen me to DEPEND upon his LOVE for me, personally. “…God’s GRACE has set US FREE from the law (the dos and don'ts and of
people too)...” (Romans 6:15 NLT). “…where sin abounded, GRACE did much more abound…” (Romans 5:20 KJV). “…He is “SO” RICH in kindness and GRACE that he
purchased our FREEDOM with the blood of his Son and forgave our sins…”
(Ephesians 1:7 NLT). “….The exceeding RICHES
of his GRACE in his kindness toward
us through Christ Jesus…”
(Ephesians 2:7 KJV).
The indwelling Holy Spirit enabled me to become a person who displayed Godly grace. I also thought if I showed grace to others,
when my turn came, they would show grace to me.
"…In everything, therefore, TREAT people the same
way you want them to TREAT you, for this is the Law and the Prophets…” (Matthew 7:12 NASB).
Well my turn came and I
made a big mistake in the eyes of someone I loved deeply. However, there was NO grace.
They blatantly treated me according to the wrongs they felt I had done to them.
“…As every man hath received the gift (of GRACE), even
so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold GRACE of God…” (1 Peter 4:10 KJV).
I couldn’t make it right with that person. I found myself gravelling for their GRACE in my heart. That is how it is with humans sometimes. No matter what I DID I couldn't make things right. I came to realize, we wouldn’t be able to make it right with God either without his GRACE. “…For if you are trying to make yourselves right with God by keeping the law (rules, dos and don'ts, gravelling, trying to earn, deserve, be worthy, etc), you have been cut off
from Christ! You
have fallen away from God’s GRACE (unmerited FAVOR)…”
(Galatians 2:21 NLT). “…God is able to make all GRACE abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in
all things…” (2 Corinthians 8:9 KJV). “…where sin
abounded, GRACE did much more
abound…” (Romans 5:20 KJV).
“…My GRACE
is sufficient for thee:
for my strength is made perfect in weakness...” (2 Corinthians 12:9 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).
I remember asking this
person the question: “Where is my grace?”
I asked that question because I knew I have shown grace to them many, many
times.
I would have bet my
life that if anyone would shown me grace it would have been this particular
person. To this day, I never received the grace I so desired from "that" person. However, I can tell you this with certainty, GRACE is found free, abundant, and endlessly in God through Jesus Christ. “…much
more the GRACE of God, and the gift by GRACE, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath ABOUNDED unto many…”
(Romans 5:15 KJV). “…They which receive abundance of GRACE … shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ…”
(Romans 5:17 KJV).
This person GAVE me no
GRACE and no RECIPROCITY, especially when I needed it the most. It’s even
slightly painful to write about it. However, the word encourages me to “…be strong in the GRACE that is in
Christ Jesus…” (2 Timothy 2:1 KJV). Keep “…singing with GRACE in your hearts to the Lord…” (Colossians
3:16 KJV). And “…Let your speech [continue to]… be always with GRACE…” (Colossian 4:6 KJV).
Don’t try to get
revenge or return one wrong for another, or be prideful, or defend yourself. “…He (God)…
giveth more GRACE. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth GRACE unto the humble…”
(James 4:6 KJV). “…God resisteth the proud,
and giveth GRACE to the humble…”
(1 Peter 5:5 KJV).
This is one of the main
reasons I appreciate the GRACE of God so much. GRACE is NOT a first response
for most humans, but it is always a first response GIVEN for God.
“..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). “..The grace
GIVEN unto me…” (Romans 12:3 KJV). “…according to the grace that is GIVEN to
us…” (Romans 12:6 KJV). “…Because
of the grace that is GIVEN to me of
God…” (Romans 15:15 KJV). “…According
to the grace of God which is GIVEN unto me…”
(1 Corinthians 3:10 KJV). “…I thank my
God always on your behalf, for the grace of
God which is GIVEN you by Jesus Christ..” (1 Corinthians 1:4
KJV). “…Every one of us is GIVEN GRACE according
to the measure of the gift of Christ…” (Ephesians 4:7 KJV). This is where I SHOUT!
“…FREELY YE HAVE
RECEIVED, FREELY GIVE...”
(Matthew 10:8 KJV).
If my GRACE is "NOT" always readily extended in my human relationships, where then will I FIND GRACE? Apostle Paul says
God’s GRACE (kindness) is always WITH me and you. “…The GRACE of our Lord Jesus Christ BE WITH YOU. Amen…” (Romans 16:20 KJV). “…The GRACE of our Lord Jesus Christ BE WITH YOU ALL . Amen…” (Romans 16:24 KJV). “…The GRACE of
our Lord Jesus Christ BE WITH YOU…”
(1 Corinthians 16:23 KJV). “…The GRACE of our Lord Jesus Christ BE WITH YOU. Amen…” (1
Thessalonians 1:2 KJV). “…The GRACE of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the
communion of the Holy Ghost, BE WITH YOU ALL. Amen…” (2 Corinthians 13:14
KJV). “…The GRACE
of our Lord Jesus Christ BE WITH YOUR SPIRIT.
Amen…” (Galatians 6:18 KJV). “…The GRACE of our Lord Jesus Christ BE WITH YOU ALL. Amen…”
(Philippians 4:23 KJV). “…GRACE be with you. Amen…” (Colossians 4:18 KJV). “…The GRACE of our Lord Jesus Christ BE WITH YOU. Amen…” (1 Thessalonians 5:28 KJV). “…The GRACE of
our Lord Jesus Christ BE WITH YOU ALL.
Amen…” (2 Thessalonians 3:18 KJV). “…GRACE be with thee. Amen…” (1 Timothy 6:21 KJV). “…The GRACE of
our Lord Jesus Christ be with your
spirit. Amen…” (Philemon 1:25 KJV). “…GRACE be with
you all. Amen…” (Titus
3:15 KJV). “…GRACE be with you all. Amen…” (Hebrews 13:25 KJV). “…The GRACE of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen…”
(Revelation 22:21 KJV).
BECAUSE GOD is WITH me I am what I am. “…By the grace
of God I am what I am…” (1 Corinthians 15:10 KJV). I AM EXTENDED GRACE AND KINDNESS ALWAYS FROM GOD THROUGH JESUS!!
Therefore, “…GRACE "BE" unto you, and [may it
continue to]… be multiplied…” (1 Peter 1:2 KJV). “…FREELY YE HAVE RECEIVED, FREELY GIVE...”
(Matthew 10:8 KJV).
WE LOVE, because he first loved us” (1
John 4:19 ASV). “…We give
[God]..only what [he]…first gave us!
…” (1 Chronicles 29:14 NLT). There is NO GIFT greater than GIVING another
person God’s GRACE.
Give GRACE abundantly and it will return to you. That person didn't show me GRACE, but God showed me GRACE through many, many other people and situations. “…Give, and it will be given to you. They will pour into your lap a good
measure—pressed down, shaken together, and
running over. For by your standard of
measure it will be measured to you in return…”
(Luke 6:38 KJV). “…FREELY YE HAVE RECEIVED,
FREELY GIVE...” (Matthew 10:8 KJV).
.When it comes to GIFTS from God THINK bigger than material blessings! “…Blessed be the God and Father
of our Lord Jesus Christ, who HATH blessed us with ALL spiritual blessings…”
(Romans 1:3 KJV). “…ye know the GRACE of our Lord Jesus
Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye
through his poverty might be RICH…” (2 Corinthians 8:9 KJV).
“…We give [God]..only what [he]…first gave us!
…” (1 Chronicles 29:14 NLT).
If all you think God
has GIVEN is material possessions and ALL you have to give or donate comes out
of that material wealth; you are thinking WAY TOO small!! “… [God]… HATH blessed us with ALL spiritual blessings…”
(Romans 1:3 KJV). “… through
his poverty [you]…might be RICH…” (2 Corinthians 8:9
KJV).
“…Peter said, “I don’t have any silver or gold for you. But I’ll give you
what I have…!” (Acts 3:6-10 NLT). Therefore, as I close, I donate or GIVE to you the BLESSING of his GRACE upon
your life, today, continually and multiplied!!!
“…GRACE be unto you, and peace, FROM God our Father, and FROM the Lord Jesus Christ…” (1 Corinthians 1:3 KJV). “…GRACE to you and peace FROM God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ…” (Romans
1:7 KJV). “…GRACE be to you
…FROM God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ…” (2
Corinthians 1:2 KJV). “…Grace be
to you …FROM
God the Father, and from our
Lord Jesus Christ…” (Galatians 1:3 KJV). “…GRACE be to
you, …FROM God our Father, and
FROM the Lord Jesus Christ…” (Ephesians 1:2 KJV). “…GRACE be unto you …FROM God our Father, and FROM the Lord Jesus Christ…”
(Philippians 1:2 KJV). “…To the saints
and faithful brethren in Christ which are at Colosse: GRACE be unto you …FROM God
our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ…”
(Colossians 1:2 KJV). “…GRACE unto you …FROM God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ…” (2 Thessalonians
2:2 KJV). “…GRACE, mercy, and peace, FROM God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord…” (1
Timothy 1:2 KJV). “…GRACE, mercy, and peace,
FROM God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord…” (2
Timothy 2:2 KJV). “…GRACE, mercy, and peace,
FROM God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour…”
(Titus 1:4 KJV). “…GRACE to you, and peace, FROM
God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ….” (Philemon 1:3 KJV).
“…GRACE and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus
our Lord…” (2 Peter 1:2 KJV). “…GRACE be with you, mercy,
and peace, FROM God the Father, and FROM the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of
the Father, in truth and love…” (2 John 1:3 KJV). “…John to the seven churches which are in Asia: GRACE be unto you, and peace, FROM him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from …”
(Revelation 1:4 KJV).
“…FREELY YE HAVE
RECEIVED [THE GIFT OF GRACE]...”
(Matthew 10:8 KJV). “…What we have RECEIVED is not the Spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may understand what God has freely given us.
…” (2 Corinthians 2:12-15 KJV).
“….ye shall
receive the GIFT of the Holy … [SPIRIT]…” (Acts 2:38 KJV). …GOD IS SPIRIT…”
(John 4:24 KJV). “…the
Spirit of God (THE GIFT) dwell in you…” (Romans 8:9 KJV). “…FREELY YE HAVE
RECEIVED...”
(Matthew 10:8 KJV). “[God, through
Christ]… FREELY GIVE US all things?...” (Romans 8:32 KJV).
THE HOLY SPIRIT "IS" THE FREE GIFT OF GRACE. IT IS THROUGH THE GIFT OF GRACE THAT WE RECEIVED "ALL" SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS!
GOD, THE HOLY SPIRIT, FREELY AND GENEROUSLY "GIVES" YOU "ALL" THINGS (NOTHING EXCLUDED) TO ENJOY!!! (1 TIMOTHY 6:17).
DEPEND UPON GOD AND "EXPECT" HIM TO DO IT!!
“…The disciples went everywhere and preached,
and the Lord (THE WORD)worked through them,
confirming what
they said by many miraculous
signs…” (Mark 16:20 KJV). “…The …HOLY
SPIRIT (THE INDWELLING GIFT) …is the SOURCE of [signs, wonders, and miracles]. … … (1 Corinthians 12:4-11 NLT). “…The HOLY SPIRIT DISPLAYS God’s power (supernatural WORKS and
PERFORMANCES) THROUGH each of us … (1 Corinthians 12:4-11 NLT).
“…The Father
that dwelleth in ... [YOU], he doeth the works…” (John 14:10 KJV).
“…Lord
… Stretch out your hand with healing power; may miraculous signs and wonders be done
through the name of your holy servant Jesus (THE WORD)…” (Acts
4:28-30 KJV). “…the Father
that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works…”
(John 14:10 KJV).
“…You can ask
for anything
in my name (JESUS, THE WORD OF GOD), and I “will” do it...” (John 14:12-14 NLT).
“…You can ask
for anything
in my name (jesus,
the word of god)...” (John 14:12-14 NLT). “….You may ask for anything you
want…” (JOHN 15:7 NASB). “…Ask and it will be
given to you…” (Matthew 7:7 NIV). “…everyone who asks receives…”
(Matthew 7:8 NIV).
“…And this is the confidence that we have in him
(Jesus, THE WORD), that, if
we ask any thing according to his will (his word), he heareth us…” (1 John 5:14 KJV). “… [We] … Receive from him
anything we ask, because we
keep
his commands (follow his instructions) and do what
pleases him…” (1 John 3:22 NIV). “…If we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we
have what we asked of him…” (1
John 5:15 NIV).
Therefore,“…Trust
in the Lord with all thine heart…” (Proverbs 3:5-6 KJV). “… lean not unto
thine own understanding…”
(Proverbs 3:5-6 KJV). “…The Father that dwelleth in [you], he doeth the works…” (John 14:10 KJV). “…He helps me…”
(Psalms 28:7 NLT).
“… [His word] shall not return unto [him]… void, but it shall
accomplish that which [God]… please[s], and it shall prosper in the
thing whereto [God]… sent it…” (Isaiah 55:11 KJV). “…I will do
whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in
the Son…” (John 14:13 NIV).
"… He
DOETH the WORK…” (John 14:10 KJV). “…This
hope is a strong and TRUSTWORTHY anchor for our souls…” (HEBREWS
6:19 NLT). “Everything you have heard …
is TRUSTWORTHY and true…” (REVELATION 22:6 NLT).
THE HOLY SPIRIT IS THE FREE GIFT OF GRACE THAT ALLOWS YOU TO BOLDLY GO TO GOD'S THRONE AND FIND "ALL" THE HELP YOU NEED, BECAUSE GOD "RICHLY" GIVES HIS PEOPLE "ALL" THINGS TO ENJOY!
