welcome to my blog

Oh the waterfall of cleansing Grace! Welcome to my Grace blog.  I hope to both share and start a dialogue about Jesus Christ and how his life, relationships and teaching have a practical working value in our everyday lives. To go beyond our belief of Jesus... and into our belief in Jesus. I hope we can learn more about how the finished work of Christ on the cross empowers his work in us in our daily lives. I hope we can grow in His Grace and Wisdom!

The name came from a Joseph Prince story in his book  "Destined to Reign"...here's the story:

Prince tells the story of a young boy who found a rock out in the woods. Though it looked rough at first, he rinsed it in the small waterfall of a nearby stream. Turns out, the rock was marbly, smooth, and full of color.
Not wanting to lose the rock, and afraid someone would take it from him if he took it home, he buried it back in the dirt in a tucked away place before he went home for the night. There, he left it.
The next day, he returned to his rock. He dug it from the dirt, only to find it rough and jagged again… stained with mud. But, remembering the drill from the previous day, he walked to the river, splashed it under the waterfall, and out came a shining, gleaming rainbow-of-a-rock. He was pleased.
Pleased until he had to go home, that is. That meant he would leave the rock hidden in the dirt hiding place again. And again. And again. And again. It was a routine he repeated for days.
One day, though, the lad had an idea: rather than hiding the rock in the dirt, he discovered a place tucked beneath the waterfall- a crevice where the rock could stay lodged, a nook where water would wash over the rock the entire evening while he slept.
It worked like a charm. The next day he returned, pulled the rock out- and it was shiny, new! No more stains, no more scrubbing. No more “back and forth” from the dirt to the water to the dirt to the water to the dirt to the water…
Here’s what Prince says- “You are clean. You have been lodged under the waterfall of grace.

    I'm starting this blog to help share the message of Jesus in the early church. ...the true gospel of grace... unmerited favor, right standing before God... despite our failures and shortcomings. to build our relationship with Jesus we must understand who we are in Jesus... how we are viewed by the Almighty. to better serve Him we must understand our position in his household. we must understand what is required of us... but sometimes more importantly... what is not required. our posture in relation to God... is crucial. we have been given sonship and daughtership and a high position in his Kingdom... we have become friends not enemies with God... we have been made new pure creatures by the blood of Jesus Christ. we are without blemish in the sight of God. yet we continue to live defeated lives... refusing a free gift of spiritual abundance and supernatural power. we view ourselves as unworthy or an exception to righteousness because of our past or present circumstances. no matter how much were told our sins have been erased... we keep them in the forefront of our mind. we dwell on what God has for gotten. we trade our robe of righteousness for rags... and our relationship becomes a to do list.

      Good word. We all struggle with "spiritual amnesia" at times. We have to remember who He is and who we are in Him. That changes everything!

Acts 2:42-47 They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles. All the believers were together and had everything in common. They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need. Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.  On the day of Pentecost, the Holy Spirit of God blew into the hearts and lives of common, ordinary followers of Jesus and the church was born. On that first day, Peter stood up and preached a very basic message pointing people to Jesus. He called them to repent and be baptized. On that day, about three thousand people came to faith! So what do you do with three thousand new...

You Have The Victory!

 Romans 8:37 Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.  If God’s Word says that we are more than conquerors through Christ, then we are. We are not going to become, we already are. We may be experiencing some failures or setbacks in life right now, but only good will come out of our situations because God says that “in all these things we are more than conquerors”. We have the victory! You see, God has placed us in Christ, whom He has exalted to the highest place in the universe. We are not trying to get to victory ground. We are already on victory ground. We don’t confess God’s Word to get victory. We confess His Word because we already have the victory. We don’t fight for victory. We fight from victory.  The devil will try to steal our victory. He will come against us with lies and fears, and cause us to be conscious of our failures, weaknesses and symptoms in areas such as our health. But we are not trying to be healed...

The God to Whom We Pray

Nehemiah 1:1-11 Nehemiah demonstrates power in prayer. As a servant to King Artaxerxes of Persia, he had no right to request leave to rebuild Jerusalem’s walls, much less to requisition materials and protection. Yet knowing the nature of the God he served, Nehemiah did not hesitate to act boldly and ask the king for what was needed.  His prayer began, “I beseech You, O lord God of heaven” (Neh. 1:5). Lord, when it appears in all capital letters, denotes the word Jehovah (a form of Yahweh, the Hebrew name for God). It means “God who is eternal in His being”—conveying that everything everywhere is in His presence. So, when God makes a promise, He knows how He will keep it. That is why Nehemiah called Him “the awesome God who preserves the covenant.” He knew God was committed to bringing repentant Israelites back to their homeland to dwell in His presence (Neh. 1:9). Another Hebrew name used to refer to God, Elohim, is translated “He who is absolutely sovereign.” If He...
