About 7 years ago The Lord brought the revelation of Freedom
and Grace into my life, and once I caught ahold of the message in totality, I
gained a whole new understanding and knowledge of John 1:17, “The law came by Moses, but Truth and Grace came through
Jesus Christ!”
I have personally experienced the teachings of every
denomination from Apostolic to Episcopalian and all have their areas of truth
just like anything in life, but none of them have brought me to the place of
understanding, knowledge, relationship and freedom like the teachings of The Grace of God!
Unfortunately
many people believe that teachings and preaching on Grace gives people the
freedom to sin and to not have any remorse about it. Well this type of thinking
is not scripture, it’s only human. The Bible tells us in Romans 2:4, “The Goodness of God brings us to repentance…” Not the
guilt of God, not the fear of God, not the condemnation of God, but the
Goodness of God! Think about it in this manner, if you were the son or daughter
of a king and you always feared being punished or judged by your father the
king, would you want to willingly please him? I think not; you may even hold a grudge
against him for how he treated you; but if you were the child of a king who gave
you everything you desired and showered you with Goodness and kindness, would
you want to hurt him by not doing his will? I think not, not only would you desire
to please him, but you would probably go out of your way to worship him and
show him your gratitude and thankfulness. Well the same is true for us as God’s
children, He doesn’t desire that we obey Him out of fear, He desires that we
obey Him out of Love, gratitude and thankfulness for all that He has done for
us. He knows the plans He has for us, as it says in the book of Jeremiah, “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to
prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope
and a future”…, and even though God is speaking to the nation of
Israel at that time about being redeemed after being in exile, He is a God of
redemption and His desire is to see everyone redeemed and to come to Him, and
to be redeemed in itself means you are destined to prosper, to be protected and
to have a hopeful future all in the name of Jesus Christ!
So
today I encourage you, Embrace the
Goodness of God in your life, recognize that God loves you, that He desire to
do good for you and by you. Change the way you see God! Change what you believe about God and start Embracing His Love, Grace,
and Mercy and “Change your Life!”
Love,
Kisses and Teacups!
Always In His Grace,

Changing my life!!! God is so awesome! It is renewing to FINALLY know that HIs mercy endures! From my religious background, I used to allow guilt to overcome me; to the point I could not forgive myself and felt I should be punished forever for whatever I did. I used to be told, "you must did something wrong, that is why you are being punished". I am so thankful and grateful for God's mercy and His love!! How awesome is that, that he renews me each morning with Grace and Mercy? So exhilerating! Thank you so much for your blogs!!! They are such blessings in my life!
