Grace & Truth

💕I had a great comment on my post a few days ago about truth and grace. I had responded that I believe grace is truth and that in this era truth is grace. I love comments that get me thinking!! It helps remind me of where I stand and why. Abound-Abundance with the word Grace and how important it is for us to have an abundance or have grace abound towards us is the key to this era of Grace is the truth. Chapter 14 is key. Thank you Lord for helping me. 🙏🏼

What Does the Law Really Give You?

The title reminds me of an old song with the verse, “What does love got to do with it?”.  Why you may ask?   #itisfinished #truth #darlenegaston #thedoorisopen #christian #christianauthors #christianity #newcovenant #grace vs #law #mylife #corebeliefs #righteousness #Jesus #theCross #celebrate

Grace Is – Living in the New Covenant – Part 2

Have you ever felt like you were being led to a conclusion on a topic?  I am thankful for my memories of a teacher, Ms. Cowan, who made sure we tackled subjects from all sides.  She wanted us to be critical thinkers not just re-writing what we have been taught…  #grace #graceis #thisisme #newcovenant #christianity #christianauthor #whoyouare #whoGodis #slipperyslope #grace #godsportion #simpleliving #timetoreallylivefree #thedoorisopen #freedom #wideopenspaces #jesuslovesme #jesuslovesyou #allofGod #faith #love #Jesus #bothfeetin

Grace Is – Living in the New Covenant

The fearful word grace is what started things eight years ago. Grace.  Beautiful, wonderful, full of love–grace.  For some reason grace, within the church (many times), is put on a leash or in a box.  I think I prefer the box analogy…because we don’t want to put God in a box, do we? #grace #graceis #thisisme #newcovenant #christianity #christianauthor #whoyouare #whoGodis #slipperyslope #grace #godsportion #simpleliving #timetoreallylivefree #thedoorisopen #freedom #wideopenspaces #jesuslovesme #jesuslovesyou #allofGod #faith #love #Jesus

Grace Is

Eight years ago when we were told we had to leave the church we had gone to for the last nine years and not come back, many people who still attended were handed a sermon on CD regarding the “slippery slope of grace”.  The truth is there is no “slippery slope of grace”. #slipperyslope #grace #godsportion #simpleliving #timetoreallylivefree #thedoorisopen #christianauthor #freedom #wideopenspaces #jesuslovesme #jesuslovesyou #allofGod #faith #love #Jesus

Faith-All of Him

Colossians 2:10 “…in Him”. That little word in is ‘en’ in the Greek.  Here is this little word’s definition, which brings so much meaning:.#simpleliving #timetoreallylivefree #thedoorisopen #christianauthor #meditation #journaling #jesuslovesme #jesuslovesyou #allofGod #faith #love #Jesus #Colossians2 #heneverleavesme

Faith & Phobos (noun)

Fear (phobos -noun) causes actions from all people.  Just as faith (pistis -noun) causes actions from all people.  If we can first see fear or faith as a thing which then moves us into an action (result-verb) then this will make much more sense to us…#simpleliving #timetoreallylivefree #thedoorisopen #christianauthor #meditation #journaling #jesuslovesme #jesuslovesyou #fear #faith #love #Jesus #Romans8 #heneverleavesme

My Heart & Faith

My #heart and #Faith intertwined as one with God’s heart. A #newcreation I am in #Christ. Faith is God’s persuasion, a thing, a gift he gives that we accept or choose not to. This changes our perception as we accept this faith gift of persuasion and causes us then to believe and/or trust in what God has persuaded us of. Which is belief and is an action (verb-pisteuó). This #process of changing our perception is known as #repentance. What an amazing thing. #simpleliving #timetoreallylivefree #thedoorisopen #christianauthor #meditation #journaling #jesuslovesme #jesuslovesyou

Faith is a Noun Not a Verb

#Faith, the word, the deeper meaning has me this season. Our perception of this word is important to #believers. Faith is God’s persuasion, a thing, a gift he gives that we accept or choose not to. This changes our perception as we accept this faith gift of persuasion and causes us then to believe and/or trust in what God has persuaded us of. Which is belief and is an action (verb-pisteuó). This #process of changing our perception is known as #repentance.

Faith (noun)

#Faith in the #kingdomofgod is so much different than this worlds beliefs.  God has been talking faith again with me and our understanding of it as humans. This is where I want to start with what he has shared with me. I love going back to what I wrote in my books and then being amazed at what I wrote and then God helping me understand and unwind more. ❤️💙❤️This #Christmas season let go and let God unwindld belief systems and let him teach you something new that is older than time. #faith #love #joy #peace not #fear
