we will not receive. We shall have a great
finish. Our God is a great finisher. So let us
not look at our circumstances . The angels
have been released to bless us. Now we are
in a state to receive the blessings.
works of Grace exceed, then the Kingdom
of heaven will come down and power of
God flow from heaven to earth. If we are
not experiencing such a thing in our life, it
means that we need more faith.
At present, are we in grace or law? At
present we are in Grace. Our righteousness
should exceed the righteousness of law.
Our works of grace should supersede the
works of law. It is very difficult to follow
law. If we do not follow even one command, we will not receive salvation. But
by grace and the blood of Jesus, we have
already been made righteous 100% and
saved so our works should exceed. If we
fail to follow even one commandment of
law, we have to pay a penalty. The people
who followed law were very particular to
give their one tenth to God. We who are
in grace should give more. When we do
that we will see the power of heaven and
an eternal flow. Though we are in grace, we
are still following the works of law and so
are not able to receive the blessings. We are
not able to show a difference between the
church and the world.
The couple, Ananias and Sapphira sold a possession and kept back part
of the price. They brought a certain part
and gave it to God. Why could they not
give 100% ? They valued money more and
feared the loss. They were lacking in faith.
So Peter should have increased their faith
but with his statement of law, he killed
them. Ananias and Sapphira needed a little
more faith to increase their 50% giving to
100%. Instead of increasing their faith, he
killed them because of the teachings of law.
God came not to condemn but to search
and find that which has been lost. So he
thought twice before giving the charge to
Peter.
We do not have lack or sickness in
heaven. So we should experience that state
here on the earth. We should pray, " Thy
kingdom come and thy will be done on
earth as it is in heaven”. We have to experience heaven on earth. So our works of
grace should exceed the works of the law.
We should show our faith in action. The
woman who brought the alabaster box of
very precious ointment broke it on Jesus.
Grace will break the boundaries of giving. If we compare, the works of Grace are
more than the works of law. Why was the
Church not able to see the works of heaven? Because we have faith but no action.
Though we have been in grace for 2000
years, we are only practicing the works of
law. The law has righteousness and grace
also has righteousness but the righteousness of grace has more value. We have to
show the power of heaven.
Peter who is called the Rock, has the
keys of heaven. He gave the revelation only
to Cornelius. But it was later picked up by
Paul. We have law and grace and fail to forget that the law has been nullified. If we do
not have the law, then nobody can judge
us. So we are 100% righteous. When our
God tested Peter 3 times about the
food that he was supposed to eat. But Peter felt it unclean. (Acts 10th Chapter) So
Peter's preaching's stopped at that point
and Paul took over the charge of preaching
Grace. Paul came from Law but preached
Grace. We have only sown sins but we are
reaping righteousness. As we have been
made in the image of God, we need a little
encouragement of faith. We can do things
only through faith and we get faith through
the Word. In the case of Ananias and Sapphira, they were supposed to know a little
more word to increase their faith whereby
they would be in a position to give 100%.
Peter is the rock, the connection between God and the people. But he could
not change his mind. Even Moses could
not change his mind of law. Why could
not Moses enter Canaan? When the Israelites needed water, Moses only had to tap
on the rock and the water would flow. Moses followed this instruction of the Lord
twice. But for the last time, God asked
Moses not to hit the rock but only to speak
to the rock. Moses hit the rock again and
disobeyed God. So God told Moses that
we would not enter Canaan but only see
it. Joshua replaced Moses. So we need to
change and renew our mind. We do not
become wise by age or seniority but only
by the revelation of Jesus Christ. The revelations by the Holy Spirit are fresh ev-
ery day. God is going to comfort us in an
extraordinary manner. And now as our
minds have been renewed, we see our God
in a mightier way. "Lord, as I see you in a
mighty way, accordingly I want my comfort levels to increase. I want more riches,
more power, more healing and double fold
comfort”. Our God will count our difficulties and give us double fold comfort We are
in complete grace and have a right for it. If
we cannot renew our mind, our promotion
will be stopped just like Moses and Peter.
We have to change and need t
