Word of the Day
Beloved, fall into grace…beautiful grace. Fall into grace without a care in the world knowing I have you covered…knowing I have you literally covered in red. Take your hands off the rails. Release the white knuckles and fall face first…fall heart first into grace. Fall into the depths of who I am. Fall weightless and care free into My unfailing arms. Free fall into the depths of every yes and amen promise found in My Word.
Leave behind fear…leave behind pride…leave behind all self-sufficiency. Let Me, Christ in you, be your life. You are a being and not a doing. Doing does not secure place…being does…it requires Me. You do not have to live the life for I am your life. All goodness, favor and loving-kindness…all grace and glory were manifest in Me…tabernacled in Me and are now abiding in You. All that I am is now yours. I lived awhile among you to show you the Father. I tabernacled the fullness of the Father…in the fullness of all He gave me through the sacrifice of Christ: salvation, healing and deliverance in every area of my life. I tabernacled the truth and now it abides in you (John 1:14).
O that you and I be one as the Father and I are one. We are one; but, I am speaking of the revelation knowledge…the understanding of this reality in your everyday life. The fullness…the entirety of who the Father is was tabernacled in the natural as I lived in a tent of flesh for awhile. I demonstrated the way, the truth and the life. What was and is available to Me is now yours in grace. Fall into Me by spending time with Me…by simply saying My name.
Beloved, did you know a quiet moment with Me…a shout of praise to Me…or even a simple acknowledgement of thanksgiving and praise is as favored as all the days you spend going to church or doing good deeds? I know it might stretch you a little; but, it is true. Grace is grace all the time and is not dependent on what you do but who you are in Me. So fall into grace…fall into Me and when you do speak GRACE to your mountains…to your rubble, they will become a plain before you. Even if they do not somehow instantly disappear, they will fade away in the light of My glory and grace. It is all about perspective sometimes…it is about letting the air out of balloons. Something only has power if you give power to it. Come abide in Me…come fall into grace…come and speak grace to your mountain, for I am tabernacled in you…Read Complete Love Letter
For the Lord God is a Sun and Shield; the Lord bestows [present] grace and favor and [future] glory (honor, splendor, and heavenly bliss)! No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly. (Psalms 84:11 Amplified)
For who are you, O great mountain [of human obstacles]? Before Zerubbabel [who with Joshua had led the return of the exiles from Babylon and was undertaking the rebuilding of the temple, before him] you shall become a plain [a mere molehill]! And he shall bring forth the finishing gable stone [of the new temple] with loud shoutings of the people, crying, Grace, grace to it! (Zechariah 4:7 Amplified)
And the Word (Christ) became flesh (human, incarnate) and tabernacled (fixed His tent of flesh, lived awhile) among us; and we [actually] saw His glory (His honor, His majesty), such glory as an only begotten son receives from his father, full of grace (favor, loving-kindness) and truth.(John 1:14 Amplified)
Prayer
Lord, You are grace to me. You are grace for me. I am in You and You are in me. The cares of the World cannot interfere with the compass of your heart… cannot interfere with the bearing of grace You have set for my life and for the lives of those You love and adore. I let go of all the things I have held on to with white knuckled determination. I let go of_____________ and no longer depend on my ability or performance as the determining factor to success and victory.
Yes Lord, You are my victory. You are mercy and grace personified…mercy and grace perfected. This mercy and grace personified in Jesus is now abiding in me because of Christ death and resurrection and my acceptance of what He did for me.
Therefore, I leave behind all self-sufficiency and pride. I cannot do things on my own. I must trust in the abiding presence of Christ in me, the hope of glory. His life flowing through me is the only way. Grace is the only way. I receive grace and I give grace. I choose to release others to the outworking of You, Christ tabernacled in them, to accomplish the workings and plans of Your heart for them. .
Open the eyes of my understanding. Give me revelation in the deep emotional areas of my heart where I have been hurt or bruised. Give me understanding in these areas so I will not be motivated to perform but will instead fall into a depth of grace which brings forth the revelation of our oneness. I whisper Your name and I am in grace. I shout your praise and I am in grace. I feed the poor and I am in grace. I go to church and I am in grace. Grace is who and what You are, therefore, no matter where I am and what I am doing, Grace is there available and ever ready to flow through me. I am tabernacled in You…I am tabernacled in the grace of Christ. Amen.
Reflect and Journal
- Are you hard on yourself? Do you look for your faults and tell the Lord or others about them? Are these habits consistent with His grace?
- What are you holding on to tightly with a white-knuckled grip? Are you afraid that if you let go He won’t catch you or grace will not be there? Are you afraid the answer might not be exactly what you think it should be? If so, remember who knows the beginning from the end.
- Read John 1:14 over and over until the beauty of it sinks into your heart. Know everything the Father says about Christ, He says about you for Christ is tabernacled in you. It is an abiding…a place of grace. Meditate on this and write out what it means to you to be the tabernacle…the home of Christ which is glory, honor, majesty, grace, favor, loving-kindness and truth. These are all in you for He is in you.
