Today's Word: SEP 25, 2023
If anyone understood the meaning of the grace of God, it was the Apostle Paul. Even though he was the biggest enemy of the early church, Paul says “the grace of our Lord was poured out on me abundantly” with forgiveness and a call into God’s service. In today’s Scripture, the word Paul uses for “freely” in the original language is “promiscuous,” which means that God’s grace will go to anyone. If someone is promiscuous, they’re unrestrained. That’s the way God’s grace is. It’s not looking for perfect people. You can be struggling with an addiction, and grace will come looking for you. You can be working in the wrong type of place, and grace will come knocking at your door. You can be dishonest and manipulative, and grace will show up at your house. You can be discouraged, thinking you’ve messed up too many times, you’ve brought your troubles on yourself, and grace still comes. You can’t get so low that God won’t stoop down. His grace is unrestrained for you today. It doesn’t have limitations.
We all have times in life when we’re at a disadvantage. We don’t see how we can accomplish our dream, the medical report is not good, or a child is off course. We’ve done all we can in our own power, but nothing has changed. We’re dealing with the anxiety, and it’s tempting to get discouraged and settle where we are. But there is a supernatural flow that you can tap into. There is a flow of healing that will turn the medical report around. There is a flow of favor that will open doors and bring the right people. There is a flow of freedom that will break the addiction. This flow is within reach, but here’s the key: It has to be activated by expecting God’s favor, by declaring His promises, by believing He’s working when you don’t see any sign of it.
In Mark 5, there was a lady who had had a bleeding disorder for twelve years. She had spent all her money on the best doctors but was told her illness was untreatable. One day she heard that Jesus was passing through her town, and something came alive. Her faith rose up. She left her house determined to push through the crowds and get to Jesus. She had to push through doubts that it wouldn’t happen. “She kept saying to herself, ‘When I get to Jesus, I will be healed’” (Mark 5:28). She reached out, touched the edge of His robe, and was healed. Jesus looked at her and said, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Your faith initiated this flow of healing. You activated this miracle to happen.”
I wonder if there are some divine flows you’re missing out on because you’re not activating them. You’re brushing up against Jesus, so to speak, but you’re not touching Him. You have to stretch your faith, believe for what you’re dreaming about, declare His promises in spite of what’s not changing. You have to press past the doubt, press past the thoughts telling you, “It’s never going to happen.” You have to press past the naysayers who tell you what you can’t become, how you won’t get well. You have to press past the negative chatter and activate the flow.
God is saying, “Come on. Activate My power, activate My favor, activate My healing.” Keep believing, keep expecting, keep declaring that God can do what seems impossible. When you activate this flow, angels go to work, forces of darkness are broken, favor is released. You’re on the verge of activating a flow of supernatural power that you’ve never seen. Keep saying to yourself, “Healing is coming. Freedom is coming. Abundance is coming.” This is a new day, and God is doing a brand-new thing.
READ BLOG ENTRYYou have to be honest with yourself. Maybe there are some bitter roots you need to pull up. You’ve allowed offenses to stay. That’s okay. Today can be the uprooting day. Today can be the day you let things go. You can forgive who hurt you, not focus on what they did, not be obsessed over who’s not celebrating you, living to prove to them who you are. You have nothing to prove. God is proud of you. God is cheering you on. He’s going to make up for the wrongs. Hurts come, but God heals. Unfair things happen, but God pays you back. We all have some ashes, but God gives you beauty for the ashes. Now, do your part and keep the offenses out. Develop this habit of letting go and reaching forward. Live in a continual state of forgiveness.
