23 July 2017 - Boasting in Our Weakness Attracts the Grace of God - Pastor Joseph Prince Sermon Notes Online - New Creation Church Sermon Notes OnlineRainfall is a sign of God's blessings. Famine is a sign of His judgement. There is a wave of fresh unmerited favor coming towards you everyday when you wake up. Wave after wave of undeterred, unabated blessings are coming towards you. It doesn't come by fasting or doing something. It's not by earning it, it's by grace! We are standing on righteous ground. When you worry about a particular area of your life, you are constricting God's supply in that area. It's like blocking God's pipes of supply. We have lots of grace in areas that we don't worry about. Let go of your worries and let God take over - He will provide the supply! John 1:16 - Grace for grace is "Grace anti grace". Anti doesn't only mean against. It also means in place of.After we use up one wave of grace, a wave of fresh grace comes in its place! The more you try to make grace flow, you are spoiling the grace that is already available. When your prayer is desperate, it's frustrating the grace of God. Your prayer should be just affirming and declaring the grace that is already flowing. “And of His fullness we have all received, and grace for grace.” (John 1:16 NKJV) God is constantly supplying us with the Holy Spirit. We can't leak and run out of the Holy Spirit. It is not faith to cry out to God and ask Him to do something that He is already doing.
Sin is destructive. It will lead you further than you want to go, keep you longer than you want to stay, and cost you more than you want to pay.
In King David's case, that sin was commiting adultery with Bathsheba. Despite that, God still chose Solomon (Bathsheba's son) to succeed David as king. The world says that a bird with a broken wing cannot ever fly as high again. But God is showing us that your sin is not your final destination, that your life will be marked by grace. ![]()
The golden pipes in Zechariah's vision. When you worry about a particular area of your life, you are constricting God's supply in that area. It's like blocking God's pipes of supply. We have lots of grace in areas that we don't worry about. Let go of your worries and let God take over - He will provide the supply!
