“My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.” Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me. Therefore I am well content with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with persecutions, with difficulties, for Christ’s sake; for when I am weak, then I am strong. 2 Corinthians 12:9-10.
Today your LORD (יהוה) God (אלהים) says:
Grace. You are saved by grace through faith. With enough grace you can do anything. If you receive the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness you will reign in life through Christ Jesus. Romans 5:17. And if you are reigning in life, Satan is not. If you are operating in grace the “god” of this world cannot take dominion over you. Why? “For sin shall not be master over you, for you are not under law but under grace.” Romans 6:14.
My apostle Paul was rescuing people out of Satan’s domain and Satan was putting up every obstacle to Paul that he could, primarily using other people who cooperated with the devil to persecute and harm Paul. And this would happen just about every time he had reached a successful ministry in a town. Paul asked me concerning this three times that the demon might leave him. But Jesus already crushed the devil’s power over you and won back all authority in Heaven and on earth for the children of men. And He in turn gave this authority to His body, the church—those who believe in His Name and follow Him. So you have the authority to cast the demons out in His Name if you will just stand up against them. So I told Paul something that you would do well to understand, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.”
And that is today’s life lesson of what to do when Satan attacks: “My Grace is Sufficient for you.”
Grace is Me doing for you what you could not and cannot do for yourself, grace removes all sin from you, makes you holy and without reproach before Me, seats you with Christ at My right hand in Heaven with the devil and all his demons beneath your feet, and blesses you with every spiritual blessing in Christ.
Grace is My Divine life flowing into you as the sap of the vine flows into the branch. And My grace gives you grace gifts, the gift of righteousness and the nine grace endowments of the Holy Spirit.
The Law was given through Moses; grace and truth came to be through Jesus Christ. John 1:17. And of His fullness you have all received, and grace upon grace. John 1:16.
I redeemed you from the pit and made you alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and I raised you up with Him, and seated you with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the ages to come I might show the SURPASSING RICHES OF MY GRACE in kindness toward YOU in Christ Jesus. Ephesians 2:1-7.
In Christ I freed you from sin. It has no hold on you. But is up to you to submit to grace, resist the devil, and he will have to flee from you.
But how do you access this grace in which you now stand? By faith, but faith only comes by hearing and hearing My Word, but it has to take root in renewing your mind from sin mentality to grace mentality. And how do you do this? “Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect. Romans 12:1-2.
How do you present your bodies? Just as Jesus did in the sense that He allowed His dominion authority as a man upon the earth to be used entirely for My purposes, which are to save all men and bring them to the knowledge of the truth and to bring Kingdom living to the earth. He walked in love and purity. He did not let Satan have any part in Him. “Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its lusts, and do not go on presenting the members of your body to sin as instruments of unrighteousness; but present yourselves to God as those alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God. For sin shall not be master over you, for you are not under law but under grace.” Romans 6:12-14.
“How shall we who died to sin still live in it? Or do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus have been baptized into His death? Therefore we have been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life. For if we have become united with Him in the likeness of His death, certainly we shall also be in the likeness of His resurrection, knowing this, that our old self was crucified with Him, in order that our body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be slaves to sin; for he who has died is freed from sin. Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him, knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, is never to die again; death no longer is master over Him. For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God. Even so consider yourselves to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.” Romans 6:2-11.
No longer view yourself as a sinner but as a saint. I have created you anew in Christ Jesus and given you My Spirit. And as a man thinks so is he. And that is why you must renew your mind by reading, hearing, meditating upon, speaking and doing My Word. It will transform your mind into the new creation you already are in the spirit.
“For this reason also, since the day we heard of it, we have not ceased to pray for you and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so that you will walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please Him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; strengthened with all power, according to His glorious might, for the attaining of all steadfastness and patience; joyously giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified us to share in the inheritance of the saints in Light. For He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.” Colossians 1:9-14.
What am I telling you? You have all the power in you by My Spirit to move mountains and take down demons and the devil himself. You are MORE THAN A CONQUEROR in Me. And My grace is sufficient to bring you through any trial to a glorious victory.
So when Satan attacks, and he will for just like his efforts with Paul he will try to stop your advancing My Kingdom and taking back territory from him, you MUST come immediately with full confidence to My throne OF GRACE and receive mercy and find grace JUST when you need it. But grace must be received and applied by faith. And faith speaks. “Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have obtained our introduction by faith into this grace in which we stand; and we exult in hope of the glory of God. And not only this, but we also exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope; and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.” Romans 5:1-5.
And that is how you offer your body as a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to Me, which is your spiritual service of worship, you exult in hope of My glory—the manifestation of My presence, power and goodness into the earth through you as you decree My Word wielding the Sword of the Spirit to exercise your dominion authority on earth for My purposes, just as Jesus did. For as He is, so are you in this world. He was a vessel of My grace and honor, to fill the earth with My glory.
See yourself in the light of My love, that is how I see you. “Do not remember the rebellious sins of my youth. Remember me in the light of your unfailing love, for you are merciful, O LORD.” Psalm 25:7.
“And although you were formerly alienated and hostile in mind, engaged in evil deeds, yet He has now reconciled you in His fleshly body through death, in order to present you before Him holy and blameless and beyond reproach—if indeed you continue in the faith firmly established and steadfast, and not moved away from the hope of the gospel.” Colossians 1:21-23.
Knowing that in Jesus you are loved, forgiven, sanctified, made righteous, redeemed, and made holy and blameless without reproach before Me is receiving the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness. And established in these you will be far from oppression. Jesus came to heal and deliver all those oppressed of the devil. And that is how He did it—by taking all your sins on Himself so that you could live free and holy before Me.
“In righteousness you will be established; you will be far from oppression, for you will not fear; and from terror, for it will not come near you. If anyone fiercely assails you it will not be from Me. Whoever assails you will fall because of you.” Isaiah 55:14-15. “No weapon that is formed against you will prosper; and every tongue that accuses you in judgment you will condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is from Me,” declares the LORD. Isaiah 54:17.
I love you. Rely upon My grace, it is more than sufficient for you. Come boldly to receive it at My throne of grace.
