Grace of God

Day 13
.
This . . .
Paraphrased quote from Mike Bickle
"There is a false doctrine of Grace that many are looking for. They look for a way to figure out the Grace of God so they can sin more, seek God less and claim God's grace to cover it all. It is better to look for a way to interpret the Grace of God in a way that causes us to give ourselves more ardently and fully to God. That's the true definition of the Grace of God. It impowers our hearts to give ourselves more abundantly to God. Grace isn't the way to figure out how we can sin more and not get in trouble, or do less with God and still be OK. There is a false doctrine of grace in the land."
.
That . . .
Four Beasts From Daniel 7


Daniel 7
2 Daniel spoke, saying, “I saw in my vision by night, and behold, the four winds of heaven were stirring up the Great Sea. 3 And four great beasts came up from the sea, each different from the other.
.
This is That . . .
I encourage you to read Daniel 7 as though you have never read it before. Put away anything you have ever heard or been told about it, and then just ask the Spirit within you "What Meanest Thou This?"
.
I love this part at the end,
26 “But then the court will pass judgment, and all his power will be taken away and completely destroyed. 27 Then the sovereignty, power, and greatness of all the kingdoms under heaven will be given to the holy people of the Most High. His kingdom will last forever, and all rulers will serve and obey him.”

That is our eternal hope, our destiny, our great reward.
Jesus good - Devil bad - God wins.
I love happy endings and this one is the real deal.
