MULTIPLIED

May God’s favor and peace be multiplied

to you in the knowledge of God and of

Jesus our Lord.

For His divine power has bestowed on us

all things that are suited to life and godliness,

through the knowledge of Him Who called us

by and to His own glory and excellence.

(II. Peter 1.2 & 3).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

THE MESSAGE

It was God in Christ, reconciling and

restoring the world to favor with

Himself, not holding against men

their trespasses, and committing to

us the message of reconciliation and

restoration to favor.

(II. Corinthians 5.19).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

SUDDENLY

Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared

had been told them about this child, and all who heard it … Continue Reading

But He said to me, My grace ( unmerited favor) is sufficient for you.

For my strength and power are made perfect in your weakness.

Therefore, I will all the more gladly glory in my weaknesses,

that the strength and power of Christ may rest upon me.

(II. Corinthians 12.9).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

True Liberty

True Liberty

The meaning of being reborn of the Spirit and made alive in Christ Jesus unto good works

which  He has prepared for us implies a new man. Under grace and not under the Law, as

Abraham, justified not by the keeping of the Law, but by the grace of God, through faith.

This is purely God’s miracle, a divine effect. This is brought about by God, Who wants all

to come to Him, to know Him and love Him, to worship Him in Spirit and in truth.

This is far beyond all human expectation, enthusiasm and enterprise.

Grace is the impossible made possible by God. … Continue Reading
