Yesterday was a powerful moment for our church. There was nothing special in our program nor was there a special outpouring from the Lord. But it was a powerful moment nonetheless. It was a landmark moment because as a church, we took a stand. We took a stand to have no more mixture. We took a stand to not become lukewarm. We took a stand to not mix new wine (Grace) with the old wineskin (Law). We took a stand to believe radically in the Grace of Jesus! Some may not agree and tell us to have balance but we do not want to have mixture anymore. We want to believe radically in Grace and in turn receive radical results!
And just as a church, we took a stand, I highly encourage you beloved to take a stand personally! Take a stand to not mix Grace with Law. Take a stand believing that all the promises of the Lord come only by Grace! Because it comes by Grace, it is free and undeserved! Because it is free, there is no price to pay because it has already been paid for by Jesus! He was the One who paid the impossible price for our blessings so that today it is free for us! Because it is undeserved, there are no spiritual levels of maturity you need to reach first before you will receive. God is not waiting for you to live an obedient life before you will receive. It is undeserved! Jesus was the One who obeyed and the One who deserved to be blessed but chose to give it to us on the cross! Our part is to only receive this free and undeserved blessings of the Lord!
Voices both from the enemy and from the world will tell you, “what you are doing is not enough! There is a price to pay for your success! You have to do more and be more! You have to be more committed and more obedient! In order to be forgiven, you have to repent more!” This is the time to take a stand! Take a stand declaring that your success is by Grace! It is free and undeserved! Your healing is by Grace! It is free and undeserved! Your breakthrough is by Grace! It is free and undeserved! Your forgiveness is by grace! It is free and undeserved! Jesus was the One who deserved and paid for it! Hallelujah!
So beloved, let us take a stand! No more one foot in the law and one foot in grace! Today, both feet planted firmly in Grace! No more mixture, only Grace!!!
