Speaker 1: I bless you in the mighty name of our Lord Jesus Christ, and welcome you to partake with me in this devotion titled Three Gifts of God's Grace.
Speaker 1: Three Gifts of God's Grace.
Speaker 1: Now remember again that grace is God's unmerited favor and because of grace.
Speaker 1: Grace has made so many things accessible to us, but today I just want to emphasize three of them that are very, very important how grace has opened the door for God to shower us with these very important gifts.
Speaker 1: Gift number one is a gift of eternal life.
Speaker 1: Gift number two is a gift of power and gift number three is a gift of victory.
Speaker 1: Let me start with the gift of eternal life.
Speaker 1: In 1 John 5, verse 11 and 12, the Bible says and this is the testimony that God has given us eternal life and this life is in his Son.
Speaker 1: Whoever has the Son of God has life.
Speaker 1: Whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.
Speaker 1: The gift of eternal life comes through Jesus Christ.
Speaker 1: The grace of eternal life flows through Jesus Christ.
Speaker 1: And therefore, to receive the gift of eternal life, how do you receive it?
Speaker 1: By accepting Jesus as Lord and Savior in your heart, when you simply say, by faith Lord Jesus, come into my life, into my heart, wash away my sins, make me a new creation.
Speaker 1: Then you receive immediately the gift of eternal life.
Speaker 1: It is free and if you are listening to me, you've never received Jesus as Lord and Savior.
Speaker 1: Right now, receive the grace of eternal life through our Lord, jesus Christ.
Speaker 1: If anyone is in Christ, he's a new creation.
Speaker 1: The old is gone, behold, the new has come.
Speaker 1: The second precious gift is a gift of power.
Speaker 1: Acts 1, verse 8, says you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you and you shall be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in Judea, in Samaria and to the other most parts of the world.
Speaker 1: Are you trying to win a world without God's power?
Speaker 1: I want to say that God's power is available and all you need to do is say Holy Spirit, come upon me, holy Spirit, fill my life, holy Spirit, give me power.
Speaker 1: And this gift is free.
Speaker 1: You don't have to struggle and it's unmerited.
Speaker 1: You just simply pray and God gives you the gift of power.
Speaker 1: Are you there, feeling powerless?
Speaker 1: I want to say power.
Speaker 1: The door of power is open and God has released this power to you Today.
Speaker 1: When you receive the gift of power and it comes through the Holy Spirit, it is available.
Speaker 1: It is accessible.
Speaker 1: It is a gift of grace.
Speaker 1: And this power of the Holy Spirit also brings gifts, grace gifts that make you able to do the work of God.
Speaker 1: You know the gift of prophecy, the gift of teaching, the gift to be an apostle, the gift to be a pastor, an evangelist, the gift to do works of mercy, the gift to work out healing, the gifts of power.
Speaker 1: And God is saying it is a grace gift, it is a work of grace you can receive today in Jesus' name.
Speaker 1: But number three is the gift of victory.
Speaker 1: And it says but thanks be to God who, through Jesus Christ, gives us the victory and because of this victory we can be more than conquerors, through Christ Jesus, who is our Lord and Savior.
Speaker 1: Are you struggling with failure?
Speaker 1: God is saying I can grant you victory to the extent you can say I'm more than a conqueror.
Speaker 1: This victory is free.
Speaker 1: This victory is a gift of grace.
Speaker 1: This victory comes through Jesus Christ.
Speaker 1: And you can receive these gifts of grace I've shared today Number one, the gift of eternal life.
Speaker 1: Number two, the gift of power.
Speaker 1: And number three, the gift of victory.
Speaker 1: You can receive them so quickly, just by the prayer of faith, and today I pray and I command that these gifts come in your direction, because they've already been released from God's side.
Speaker 1: Now receive these gifts in Jesus' name, amen.
