Walking In Grace...

This is our first show! I thank you so much for joining us today. On today's show, we discussed the real meaning of GRACE. We learned that Grace is God's unmerited favor. It is kindness that we do not deserve. There is nothing we have done, nor can we earn this kind of favor. It is totally a gift from God. Grace is a divine assistance given to humans for their regeneration or rebirth ; a virtue that only comes from God. It is sanctification through divine favor.

Neat Acronym:

G-God's
R-Riches
A-At
C-Christ
E-Expense

It is by GRACE you were saved through faith, and not of yourself.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Can we fall from GRACE?

Yes!
Galatians 5:4
Ye are fallen from Grace.

Some do not believe that this scripture is as it says. They interpret it to mean that the people are fallen away from the message of grace. I choose to believe exactly as the Bible says....and that is that WE CAN FALL FROM GRACE. With this known, we can delve into the next show, "Can you lose your salvation?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

What can we do for our loved ones who have fallen away from Christ? Have they fallen from GRACE?

The first question can be answered in one word: PRAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

We must pray for our loved ones. We must pray specifically for them. We must petition God to intercede on their behalf.

Many of the fallen do not understand how severe the fall can be. Therefore, their eyes may be shut from seeing the real problem or issue.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Steps to take in prayer for your fallen loved one:

1. Petition God with a confession of Faith in God's help your loved one repent and come back to
the Lord with a clean heart. (Grace is encountered)
2. Repeat Scripture 1 John 5:14, 15
3. I realize I am not in a battle with flesh and blood, but contending against demonic powers, and wicked spirits in the heavenly sphere, who are trying to influence and control the person I am praying for.

4. Understand and confess Luke 10:19
I give you authority and power over all the power of the enemy and so nothing shall in any
way harm me.
5. Claim and profess Matthew 18:18
Whatever I bind on earth is bound in the heavenly realm, and whatever I loose on earth is
loosed in the heavenly realm.

NEXT:

Pray a binding prayer.......

Confess and pray

Ephesians 1:18
Luke 24:31,45
Matthew 9:37,38
Mark 11:24
Jeremiah 1:12
Isaiah 55:11

Finish the prayer with :

I ask all this, Father God, in the holy name of Jesus. And I cover myself, my household, all my family, extended family, and all loved ones with the blood of Jesus, asking you to bless and strengthen us with your wisdom, Holy Spirit, salvation, and deliverance. Amen.
