I.​It’s Time for Change

​A.​Review

1.​Christian Con-Carne (You have to go get what God has for you.)

2.​You’ve Got God’s Power – Use It!(Electric Co. Duke Power example)

3. ​You’ve Got God’s Blessing – Say It! (The Blessing of God is Voice-Activated)

​B.​God Has Given the Grace – Take it!

1.​An understanding and balance of grace and faith is essential to receiving all the promises of God.

a.​We receive from God by grace through faith.

• (Eph. 2:8-9 NIV) saved by grace through faith
• (Rom. 4:16 AMP) promises of God by grace through faith.
• (Rom. 5:2 AMP) faith accesses God’s grace

2.​What is Grace?  

a.​Grace is God’s unearned, unmerited and undeserved favor towards all mankind through Jesus. Grace is God’s Riches at Christ’s Expense. Grace is God’s part.

• (Tit. 2:11 AMPC) God’s grace is given to all.
• (John 1:14 NKJV, [16-17 AMP])grace is given through Jesus to all.
• (1 John 2:2 AMP) Jesus paid for the sins of all.
• (1 Pet. 2:24) Jesus provided healing for all.
• (2 Cor. 8:9) Jesus provided abundance for all.

3.​What is Faith?

a.​Faith is our positive response to what God has already provided by grace. Faith is how we take God’s grace. Faith is right believing. Faith is our part.

• (John 3:16-18) saved by grace through faith
• (Rom. 3:27) Faith is a spiritual law.
• (Heb. 11:1) Faith is the method to transfer what’s in the spirit realm into the natural.
• (Rom. 10:17) faith comes by hearing God’s Word
• (Jas. 2:17 NIV) faith without action is dead!

In closing, the story of the woman with the issue of blood…

b.​(Mark 5:24–34 AMPC) Grace and faith in action.
