Be Conscious of The Supply
“For if by the trespass of the one, death reigned through the one; so much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one, Jesus Christ.” (Romans 5:17 WEB)
Is death reigning, or is life reigning, in your life?
The strategy to enjoy a blessed life is so simple, but many of us just don’t do it.
If you are constantly worried, fearful, and pessimistic about your future, it simply means that you have not been consistently receiving the Gospel. One way to describe the Gospel would be “the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness”.
Instead, the world’s words and pictures based on wrong beliefs have filled your heart, producing forms of death.
We need to hear about the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness because the enemy wants us to feel lacking and vulnerable. One way he advances his goal is by broadcasting bad news designed to instill fear and worry.
“in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the children of disobedience;” (Ephesians 2:2 WEB)
The apostle Paul called the devil “the prince of the power of the air”. This means that he has power over the airwaves. Besides weather manipulation, the devil also attacks by releasing words (essentially frequencies of vibrations in the air). We know that he is a liar, and he can be quite convincing at times.
Are you more conscious of the many demands upon you, or are you more conscious of the supply that is freely available to you by faith?
God’s grace is His unmerited favor towards you, when He gives you good things that you did not deserve by your own works.
If they are gifts for you, then who paid the cost? Jesus paid not with corrupt, perishable things like money. He paid with His own divine blood (the life of the flesh is in the blood).
He bled and literally gave His life—the life of God, for you.
I once shared in a short video teaching that the Hebrew letters for the word “Amen” are aleph (God/ sacrificial animal), mem (water flowing down like a waterfall), and nun (offspring/child).
They form a picture of blessings pouring down upon you like a waterfall, from Jesus the sacrificial Lamb at the cross, to you who are now God’s beloved child.
Every time you say “Amen”, picture the blood-bought blessings flowing from Jesus at the cross, to you. It is like making a withdrawal from your heavenly bank account.
The Lord is your Shepherd. He laid down His life for you, and you will not lack in any way because He is your inexhaustible supply!
Are you under spiritual attack from the enemy? This is not an area that you have to fear or be ignorant about. The Bible teaches us about the powerful spiritual weapons we have in Christ.
If you have a long-time bondage or addiction, you can be set free when you know the truth of how all this works. I compiled the book “Silencing the Serpent” for these reasons and more. Get it here: https://bit.ly/silence-the-serpent-now
