Rest And Find God’s Grace By Joseph Prince

Rest And Find God’s Grace
By Joseph Prince

Luke 2:40
40And the Child grew and became strong in spirit, filled with wisdom; and the grace of God was upon Him.

The verse says that the grace of God was upon Jesus. The Bible also says that where sin abounds, grace abounds much more. (Romans 5:20) And when you put the two together, you may find yourself asking, “If the grace of God was upon Jesus, does it mean that He sinned?”

No, Jesus did not sin. (2 Corinthians 5:21) So there must be another explanation as to why God’s grace was upon Jesus. There must be another explanation as to why someone can abound in God’s grace even when he has not sinned.

Let’s look at the word “grace” when it is first mentioned in the Bible. Genesis 6:8 says that “Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord”. Noah’s name means “rest”. So the verse is telling us that rest found grace. In other words, when you rest, you find grace!

So grace was upon Jesus because His life was a life of rest and trust in His Father. He said, “The Son can do nothing of Himself. He can do only what He sees His Father doing.” (John 5:19)

Likewise, grace comes upon you when you rest and trust God. If you have a wayward child, stop nagging at him and trust God to handle the problem. Say, “Jesus, I commit this boy into Your hands. I cannot control him. You can.” If you have a persistent pain in your body, bring it to the Lord. Say, “Jesus, I hand all my worries about this pain to You. You work on the pain.”

“Pastor Prince, what if nothing happens?”

Honestly, if after you have given the matter to Jesus and nothing happens, what can you do? If Jesus Himself can’t do anything about it, do you think you can? But praise God, once the problem is handed over to Jesus, He can and will do a perfect work of taking care of it for you!

So live a life of rest. Have this attitude and tell the Lord, “I can do nothing of myself. I just rest in You Lord and I trust You.” Beloved, what you will see is the grace of God upon you in every situation of your life!

2 things to share with you dear friend on my post today.

Firstly,
Just wanna share a little bit of what happened to me this morning.

I was scheduled to have an interview from 11-11:30am.
But then as slow-moving, take-your-time-attitude human being that I am...I was late!

Then I call unto Abba and said,
" Abba, this is it! My attitude's paying me back! If I can't make it to my interview. That's it! It's all my fault. I am sorry Abba please do something. "

I just closed my eyes while in the bus and waited for a reply from my interviewer.
He is not answering my calls either.
And then I felt that was it!

But then after few minutes of desperate waiting, he replied.







Huwaaaah!
You don't know how life suddenly pulled the spirit out of me.
Totally a miracle.

Praise Abba!
Praise Jesus!

So the interview was good and went well.

I am just waiting for a final cofirmation next week.

Halleluyaaah!

😍😍😍
Second thing,
You know in this world, you will encounter different challenges every day.
So you need wisdom and strength daily.

One of the things that helped built my relationship with Abba, by reading and listening to Jesus-filled sermons.

I believe , that should become our daily relationshipGoal with God.

It helps alot.

In my current messy overwhelming situation right now,
really, it has become my weapon.

I shall recommend you this book.



I think I have read this more than 3x.
And definitely, gonna read it again.
Secrets to life is here like
how to get rid of feelings of defeat, frustrations, worries, stress?
Read a book like this.
A book that magnifies Jesus in your life. And you will never waste your time.
Instead, you will be filled up with so much faith that you're gonna roar to your goliath(problems of life)
Yes.
It's one of your weapons.
Get it now!


👍👍👍👍👍

Jesus Gives You Rest By Joseph Prince

Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.”
Matthew 11:28, NLT

Jesus Gives You Rest
By Joseph Prince

You don’t need to be a Bible scholar or theologian to understand rest. You just need to be someone who knows Jesus, because it is Jesus who gives you rest!

My friend, perhaps you’re dealing with a challenging physical condition in your body today. And if you are weary, confused and tired because of all your efforts to get healed, just go to Him right now and tell Him, “Jesus, I’m so tired and confused. I’m scared too. Please hold me in Your arms and give me rest.”

You don’t have to say anything if you don’t want to. You can just cry in His presence. Beloved, He already knows all that you are going through. And the One who bottles your tears will surely rest you and give you peace. He will lift you up and strengthen you until you are full of His shalom-peace—inside and out!

Simply See Jesus’ Goodness In The Word by Joseph Prince

Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.
Psalm 107:1

Simply See Jesus’ Goodness In The Word by Joseph Prince

I was down with a nasty fever once. I sought the Lord and He told me to simply read about His healing miracles in the Gospels. He even told me not to get caught up in doctrine but to just focus on His grace, compassion and willingness to heal the sick.

Delving into the scriptures, I soon found myself in the presence of my healer and life-giver. I bathed in His love for me and just saw His goodness and willingness to heal me, as I read about how He healed every person who came to Him for healing. It wasn’t long before the fever left.

Beloved, without spiritual gymnastics, but simply by seeing Jesus and His grace in the scriptures, you can be transformed into His likeness—which includes having his resurrection life—unconsciously and effortlessly!

Act Out Of Rest By Joseph Prince

And if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace. But if it is of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work.
Romans 11:6

Act Out Of Rest
By Joseph Prince

Whether it is partaking of the Holy Communion or confessing God’s Word, do these things out of rest. Don’t feel as if you need to put the demand on yourself to be healed. My friend, you can’t earn your healing. It is something that God gives you by His grace.

Beloved, God wants you to see that Jesus has already paid for your healing. Today, He is so pleased with Jesus’ finished work that He is more than happy to bountifully supply all the healing and provision that you desire.

When you truly have a revelation of this, nothing will stop you from declaring His Word over yourself and running to the Lord’s table with thanksgiving and expectation. And when you act in faith out of rest, it won’t be long before you see your miracle manifest!

Don't Borrow Worries

Wow!
Make it a habit to give all your worries to Jesus.
He knows how to handle it well.

Just do it and praise Him instead.
Worrying is better than praising Him.



Don’t Borrow Worries

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you.
—John 14:27

Whenever your mind gets stuck on a problem, bring it to Me and thank Me for it. Ask Me to show you My way of handling it. When you do this, your mind is freed and the problem is robbed of its power to make you worry. Together, we will deal with your problem, either facing it right now or putting it aside for later.

You see, many of the worries that tangle up your mind today are actually ones that you have borrowed from tomorrow. Don’t waste time worrying about whether or not you will make the team next year, or pass the class next semester, or even what you will do this weekend. Give those borrowed worries to Me and let Me put them in the future where they belong. Leave them there—out of sight—and I will replace them with My Peace.

You Are Deeply Loved! By Joseph Prince

Let this sync in...

Thank You Abba for loving me!




Then Abraham lifted his eyes and looked, and there behind him was a ram caught in a thicket by its horns. So Abraham went and took the ram, and offered it up for a burnt offering instead of his son.
Genesis 22:13

You Are Deeply Loved!
By Joseph Prince

God is a good God. He is a God of love. But we will never know how much He loves us until we know how much He loves Jesus, because He gave us Jesus, His beloved Son.

Do you remember the story of Abraham in Genesis 22? Abraham’s heart must have been broken when he led his one and only promised son, Isaac, up Mount Moriah to be sacrificed. But in the end, Isaac did not have to die because God provided a substitute—a ram.

The ram caught in the thicket was really a picture of Jesus, who would one day be arrested, and led up Mount Calvary to be crucified in our place for our sins.

My friend, God so loved His Son, but He so loved you too, that He was willing to give up His Son for you. That’s how much He loves you! And if God was willing to give you heaven’s best—Jesus—do you think that He will withhold anything good from you?
