The power for the church to overcome sin is actually found in being under grace and not in reinforcing the law.
As long as you continue to have a wrong perception of God and withdraw from Him, the devil can keep you bound in a life of defeat.
Under the law, all you will have is religion, not a relationship with God. But God is after a relationship with us, one that is dependent on His goodness and His goodness alone.
Anyone who is living in sin is not under grace and has not experienced the gift of no condemnation. Grace always results in victory over sin!
Do you know that every morning, the children of Israel had to go out to collect fresh manna? The manna could not be stored overnight as it would turn stale and breed worms. Ever wondered why God didn’t just give them a week’s supply of manna? Well, that is because God wants us to open the Scriptures every day to collect fresh manna of Jesus. He doesn’t want us to live on past and stale revelations of Jesus, for His mercies are new every morning. Hallelujah!
Wrong believing always leads to wrong behavior. If you believe wrong, you will inevitably live wrong.
Hearing and believing the good news will release the power of God into your situation.
It is actually not easy to preach grace because when you preach grace, you make nothing of man and everything of Jesus. And man does not like that. Man likes to think that he has fasted 40 days and 40 nights to get the anointing. He wants to be able to say, “I paid the price for spiritual power.” Hey, my friend, Jesus paid the price already. It is not about your fasting. It is all about the work of Jesus Christ!
Stop depending on your self-efforts to earn and qualify for God’s blessings in your life.
God’s grace does not make you lazy and unproductive. On the contrary, it makes you labor more abundantly for His glory.
If the greatest miracle – being saved from hell – comes by grace through faith, and not by your works, how much more the lesser miracles, such as healing, prosperity and restored marriages.
And when I stood up, the Lord put this in my heart and I shared, “The greatest call in your life is to be a worshipper!
Because the Lord is with me, I am a successful person.
The moment you place the law of Moses between you and God again, you are negating the finished work of Jesus, for if righteousness could come through the law, then Christ died in vain.
Jesus Is Immanuel, The Almighty God With Us.
Whenever you hear a teaching that puts fear in your heart, you can be sure that what you are hearing is not the gospel, or good news, of Jesus. The good news of Jesus always liberates and His perfect love removes every fear. The good news always imparts faith and exalts the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross!
You see, you are transformed not by struggling. You are transformed by beholding Jesus and believing that He loves you and wants to save you.
The devil hates the gospel of grace because it causes the believer to reign in life. And when you reign, the devil does not!
I don’t believe for one moment that a believer who has truly encountered the complete forgiveness of Jesus and the perfection of His finished work would desire to live a life of sin. It is His grace and forgiveness that gives you the power to overcome sin. Apostle Paul said, “Sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.”4 When you are under God’s grace and His perfect forgiveness, you will experience victory over sin.
We need to learn to stop pursuing things and to start pursuing Him. God sees your relationship with Him as the only thing that you need for every success in your life.
