GRACE TO OVERCOME!

Hebrews 4:16 TLB
So let us come boldly to the very throne of God and stay there to receive his mercy and to find grace to help us in our times of need.

we cannot do God’s work with our natural strength, we do not have the abilities that are needed to do spiritual activities, as stated in Zechariah 4:6 it’s not by power nor by might but by the spirit of God.
What is grace then?
Grace is the favourable influence of God in renewing the hearts through the application of Christ’s righteousness.
Grace is much more than unmerited favour! Grace is God’s adornment of his people, It’s God’s decoration of his children while dignifying and beautifying his chosen ones when they least qualify for it.
Believers are encouraged to approach God boldly because of what our high priest Jesus Christ has done for us, he sympathises with our weaknesses because he too was tested in every way as believers are daily tested, however, Jesus did not sin, and so we do believe that by the grace bestowed us, we can confidently and boldly do everything that we set out to do with the help of God. Christ confirms in Philippians 4:13 that we can do anything and everything through his strength.
when God sends us on assignment he knows and understands that there will be forces working tirelessly to limit us, condemn us, distract us, fail us, and stop us from enjoying all the benefits available to the Saints of God. If as scripture says in Ephesians 6:10-20, our fight is not with physical opponents but spiritual forces, then we need all the divine strength, grace, and wisdom needed to fight these forces.
We, therefore, need to arm ourselves with two things the enemy fears the most; the name and the word of God according to Philippians 2:10. The grace of God gives us the boldness to discharge enemy forces and bring them to their knee even as they confess the Lordship of Jesus.
God is ready to fight for you once you’ve called his name, when you acknowledge God’s sovereignty in persistent prayer, you begin to access grace to be, to do, and to overcome. This grace does not depend on your performance, it is a gift according to Ephesians 2:8-9.
God is gracious in action. Grace is his goodwill, and kindness shown to us through his encompass in love and unmerited favour.
Grace is us receiving what mercy purchased That shoots us from what we deserve.
Grace stopped Abimelech from being destroyed by God in Genesis 20:7.
Grace gave Cain a mark on the forehead in Genesis 4: 13-15 to save him from being killed.
Grace stopped to meet the adulterous woman in John 8:1-11 from being condemned and stoned.
The enemy uses condemnation to keep us from God, but God uses grace to save us. Condemnation plays on our ignorance, fear, and doubt to stop us from approaching the father. The father, on the other hand, grants us grace to overcome fear.
Grace gives us a clean slate, a new heart, a changed life, a new beginning, and frees us from accusation and condemnation.
Wherever you are right now, grace can find you, save you, and help you to overcome.
It would no longer be grace if it is subject to human standards according to Roman 11:6.
God’s grace is free and extended to everyone, it takes the blame, covers shame, and makes beauty out of ugliness. Grace, grace to you!
Shalom
