Hosting Grace. 2 words I kept getting.
We knew Grace. We understood Grace. We get established in Grace. Then we start to host Grace.
Sounds good?
Some wise person said, "The enemy of good is not bad but BEST." In other words, "The Good is the Enemy of the Best".
We can not stay in Grace and not be changed. Not be moved. To go deeper and higher. To sink helplessly deep in Him and soar at the highest peak simultaneously with Him. Grace would not allow us to be the same.
I am a gracePreacher. I would never allow myself (again!) to preach Law as a mean to get "close" to God or to win souls for His Kingdom or bring morality in... that is the old covenant way. (One day i will blog about my encounter with Grace afresh in 2008)
"The old covenant was glorious, but it was "fading away..."
Even so, God loves me too much to allow me to stay stagnant, to just keep "hosting grace"...
How do we NOT conformed to the pattern of this world?
If not through our daily, seasonal circumstances that comes to our lives - unnoticed.
His Grace pops up in those circumstances and we now have a medium not to be conformed to the pattern of this world.
And how do we transformed by the renewing of our mind?
Through the washing of water with the Word.
The Word is a Person. His name is Jesus.
Jesus wants to cleanse us - daily, weekly, seasonally, yearly, ETERNALLY.
No one can keep "hosting grace" without ending up fully immersed in Grace.
Last few months, i have experienced Grace in a way i have never before. Those were my darkest moments - also my brightest.
Jesus,
I am back at where i started - only deeper and higher this time.
Thank you Emmanuel.
