What have we been provided for by grace in Jesus' life, torture, death, triumph over satan, and resurrection, blood offering, placement with God?
We have healing 1 Peter 2:24
We have prosperity 2 Corinthians 8:9
We have deliverance and dominion over Satan. Colossians 1:13, Romans 6:14
We have favor Acts 2:46-47
We have forgiveness and redemption Ephesians 1:7
We have righteousness of God Philippians 3:9
We have an advocate and intercessor 1 John 2:1
We have a helper John 14:16
We have a mediator and a better covenant Hebrews 8:6
We have a new spirit Ezekiel 36:25-27
We are a new creation 2 Corinthians 5:17
We are grafted into Abraham Galatians 3:6-7
We could go to church every day, pray endlessly, read continuously, labor to the breaking point, and give all of our possessions to the poor and we will never earn nor deserve a single one of these provisions.
They are a free gift, purchased and facilitated by the blood of Jesus. When Jesus sat down at the Favor of God, the acquisition was complete for all time. It's a done deal.
If we can believe for any of these provisions 'whatsoever', then we can receive it by grace.
It has already been done in the spiritual, we just need to believe to see it manifested in our lives.
Trust that God is always good, His Word is always true, the provision has been already been purchased, the plan is already in place, and that we, His beloved, are the objects of His desire.
Trust that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us; To Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
