Sufficient Grace

Hebrews 4:16, "Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. (NIV)

Many of my posts refer to inspirational thoughts that I received during times of prayer and meditation. Today's post will fall into the parameters of that understanding. I have learned that prayer is about God talking back to me as well as me talking to God. I wonder if that is one of the reasons that satan seeks to hinder the prayer life of the modern day church. Is it entirely possible that satan does not want us to have a time of fellowship and interaction with God? Strength can be found in the presence of God. Courage can be found in the presence of God. Hope can be found in the presence of God. The promises of God are revealed afresh and anew to us in His presence.

During prayer time on Friday morning I believe that the Spirit placed this passage of scripture in my heart as well as the words of a song. The scripture is familiar to many of us and many of you may also recognize the song that I am referencing. One of the lines of the song makes this declaration; "...His Grace is sufficient for me, His love is abundant and free. Oh, what joy feels my soul, just to know, just to know that His Grace is sufficient for me..." 

I am sure that many of you can agree with me and say that you have found the scripture to be real and that you also have found the inspirational words in the song to be real and comforting. I truly believe that God reminded me of these facts on Friday. But I also believe that God desired for me to remind you of those same facts. You can find Grace to help in time of need and you can realize that His Grace is sufficient regardless of the circumstances of your life. We just need to remember to walk in the strength of our relationship with God. God is interested in fulfilling His role in our relationship and each of us need to be committed to fulfilling our role in the relationship with God. 

I believe that it is time that the children of God come into agreement with our Heavenly Father and stop listening to the propaganda of satan. The enemy is busy spreading his lies and accusations against each believer. But we can defeat the propaganda of our enemy through the declaration of the Truth of God's Words. Do not compromise the strength of your faith. Hold to the Truth and allow God to send the help that you need.
