What is Radical Grace

Hi and I want to thank all of you who have taken the challenge of following this blog. Prodigal Sons and Daughters everywhere will really appreciate the wealth of Gods unfailing love that this encouraging ,challenging and some times painful words of ministry will bring. There is nothing more life provoking than the words that come from our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. So lets spark on this journey to find the blazing heart that God has placed on the inside of all us to bring liberty to the captives and healing to the sick and hope for those who are lost and hopeless. Lets start with "I". There probably isnt a more self centered and proudful word that you can come across than the word I. Then to top it off you come with the most selfish word known to man "ME". Put the two together and you have yourself a recipe for for a life of misery and the lack of the grace of God. You may be saying what are you talking about, what does this have to do with the radical grace of God. I don't understand. Theres that I word again. Anytime that we solely focus on what we want "I" we have missed what the purpose of Christ's coming was for.Grace is the unmerited favor and blessings of God upon our lives. Something we can never earn and definetly dont deserve. See we as human beings like to believe that we have done pretty o.k for ourselves and that we're not as bad as the next person. When we began to make those types of judgement calls(and they are judgement calls) we place ourselves in our subconcious minds as we really dont need God as bad as the next person, but the bible tells us that God searches the mind and heart of men and will reward them according to their conduct Jer17 :9-10. So really the only one who can make that judgement call and be completly accurate about what He says is God. Jesus didnt even cast judgement without the option of repentance and the understanding of God's love.Even at the cross where they mocked and spat and cursed at Him He didnt place a judgement of damnation ,but a cry for Radical Grace. His agenda alone was that of His father in heaven and their purpose alone was to give us the favor of God and the blessing of being with Him in eternity something we didnt earn. He loved us so to the point of Death and that He the King of Kings would and did make all things new. Oh how He made all things new! Let us cry out for more understanding of this radical grace of God. His grace was radical because He endured the cross and fought off death and scrounged threw hell to find some Keys that He knew we would need to unlock and get some stuff that we didnt deserve, so we could live a life that was bought with a price!Check this out unlike popular belief of that We sold and it really didnt belong to us in the first place and you dont think thats "Radical"! You try doing it than come and tell me how it worked out for ya. See we can never ever top what he did neither will we pay it back. We can choose to follow suit and become an example of what Christ did by first acknowledging He finished it, then be thankful for the Lamb who was slain on our behalf and is the only worhty to take the scroll and read it Rev5. Worthy to the Lamb who was slain!!! GLORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh how We should love Jesus for His Blood washed us white as snow. Well untill next blog around I leave you with the words of the famous Smith Wigglesworth, "ONLY BELIEVE "

  1. "I" is a quick way to commit spiritual suicide and will cause you to walk in jealousy and envy. We must all murder "I' and allow the Holy Spirit of God to rise up and dominate who we think we are. Will the bornagain "you" stand up?
