State of Grace

This past year, I have already shared with you about God's next move. A move of the heavenly Father’s grace and power that the world has never seen before. I've seen it starting in my own life this past year. God said, my life (and others) would change, not because of how good, smart or spiritual we are, but because of His awesome love, grace and mercy. It will be God the Father doing what He does best—exalting His sons and daughters and loving the lost souls.
 
On February the second, I was at David's house for a weekly Bible study, there was ten of us there. David asked each of us a question that God has often asked him, "What do you want?" Therefore, each of us gave our answer to that question. I said, "I want to know more of God's heart and to be able to share His love in such a way that it would change people’s lives. However, my soul wants many other things, but most of all I want to find contentment in being a friend of God."
 
After everyone spoke, David prophesied God's heart for each of us. For me the Lord said, " Israel is about to embark on the greatest adventure of his life. It will start with a visitation of the Father, and with that everything would change." Wow! I can't wait. It's what I have been waiting for so long.
 
God is raising up sons and daughters, like you and me, to take their rightful position at the Father's right hand. We are not only flesh, but spiritual beings, and neither are we limited by time and space. All that Christ is and has is at our disposal—His love, power, health, prosperity and authority and much more. There is nothing that He is withholding from us or that we are lacking as His sons.
 
Christ's nature and DNA was infused into our spirit and body the moment we asked Jesus into our heart. At that time we were made a "new creation." All things became new, we just didn't realize or understand how all that worked, because we listened to some ignorant ministers and the lies of satan who would try to keep us from reaching our full potential and purpose here on earth. We've lived a life much lower than we were meant too, but God is changing all that. By faith, we can live above circumstances, the cosmos, the flesh and most of all satan, from our heavenly place in Christ.   
"And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus." (Ephesians 2:6)
Jesus told Pilot that His kingdom was not of this world and neither is it ours. Jesus was and is establishing the Kingdom of God on earth. That is why He came here, and through us His brothers and sisters we too have been given the opportunity to do our part as fellow workers and to reveal the heavenly Father.
 
This next move of God has started, despite the small beginnings we now see. The anointing on His sons and daughters will change lives for many generations to come. This anointing trumps any "gift, gifting, position in ministry or possession, that many believers once thought were important. Now we're learning it comes to those who sit and wait in the presence of Jesus Christ, the heavenly Father.
 
This "State of Grace" will embrace the wounded souls, the broken hearted and the fatherless. It will go into every area of life and every religion; to break the power of darkness and false mindset, and set people free. Lives and bodies will be restored by the Great Restorer, Jesus Christ himself who said, "It is finished."
 
We've been living and operating in His grace, and its only going to get greater. The power of our love comes from the supernatural realm of Jesus' blood and God's grace. There's a great movie called State of Grace, about two young Mormon missionaries. It's a classic and one of the most powerful and anointed films I've seen after The Passion.
 
Note: God has chosen people and will use unexpected source to reveal the message of His love and grace. And He will continue to use whatever means necessary to reach all His children. The Father is calling us home and out of Babylon, the world (cosmos) systems, including all religion and denominations; and into the family of God.
