I GOTTA HAVE JESUS AMAZING GRACE!!!

Jesus Christ Is Our Supernatural "Grace In Our Heavenly Father!" How Are We Doing Church? I Love You Church God's People In The Lord Jesus Christ!!! Your Brother And Apostle To The Nations: James Winfree Sr, I GOTTA HAVE IT CHURCH JESUS AMAZING GRACE!!! "Yet grace God's unmerited favor) was given to each of us individually not indiscriminately, but in different ways] in proportion to the measure of Christ's rich and bounteous gift" (Ephesians 4:7). We have discovered as Jesus Believers the grace of God is so much more than mere charis and is source both in God The Father and in His Son, Jesus Christ (Rom 5:15; 1 Cor 1:12; Gal 1:3, 6; 2 Thess 1:12) and therefore We must reject any confidence that we may have in ourselves, recognizing that we are incapable of pleasing God on our own and must entrust ourselves completely to Him. On the other hand grace is "active" and is what We need in order to be used in God, with God and for Him. As Paul wrote to Timothy; "...I would remind you to stir up (rekindle the embers of, fan the flame of, and keep burning) the [gracious] gift of God, [the inner fire] that is in you by means of the laying on of my hands... " (2 Tim 1:6). Something we must prize and value because this grace (call or gift) of God should be the motivation power for our whole life and work. We are saved by grace and called into the grace of our loving Father God. Grace is more than particular gifts of The Spirit of Jesus Christ, it is more like the hand of God coming upon someone's life to single them out for the particular work or area of ministry. Finally, We may have looked at charis but the word for "gift" is charisma... and these two words come from one another: charis meaning "grace" and ma meaning "thing;" literally translating not merely as "gift" but as "grace thing" or "thing of grace!" So when the New Testament talks about "Spiritual gifts" it is talking about the "expression or manifestation" of the grace of God in our lives. Now on the other hand there is charismata which is plural for charisma which are the gifts of the Holy Spirit to the entire body of Christ; and made available to each and every member in ONE and as ONE. We could call them "body-gifts" and these are manifested through specific or chosen individuals as the Spirit determines - as seen in 1 Cor 12: 7, 11. These gifts operate occasionally and are used to meet specific needs as The Holy Spirit directs His Church. We see this again in 1 Peter 4:10, "As each of you has received a gift (a particular spiritual talent, a gracious divine endowment), employ it for one another as [befits] good trustees of God's many-sided grace [faithful stewards of the extremely diverse powers and gifts granted to Christ Believers by unmerited favor]" (AMP). To close; every believer needs to be open to these "gifts" of the Holy Spirit in their lives and learn how to operate in the power and authority of these gifts in Christ love, unity and equality to and for all Believers in Christ Jesus household. Because We are not only "called BY grace" and "called INTO grace" just as we see that Paul the Apostle was not only given "grace" but specifically given "a grace" with which his whole life was controlled and directed. Not by mere graciousness (charis) but by (charis-ma) the "authority" of that grace (specific gift, grace-thing) given him by God. This applies to us. We must constantly submit our lives to the grace of God which is only found in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Not just the divine favor of God over our lives but also to His choice of gifting - grace thing - that He chose for us to "operate" in. Grace is often times made synonymous with "we can do whatever we want and get away with it" but of course this is erroneous. Yes! Grace is favor but it is also the power and authority to "operate in obedience" to God in the New Way Of Doing Kingdom Ministry and Kingdom business in One and as One Voice and One Body in ONE faith. You and I are available to God who can use us for His Body and for His Glory. Hallelujah and Amen Saints!
