FULL OF GRACE January 2014 English | Page 9

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
