God-Given Grace: The Key to Spiritual Growth and Divine Assistance | S2 Ep37 (2025)
In this episode of the Closer to Jesus Podcast, I talk about the incredible gift of God’s grace—the very thing that makes spiritual growth possible. Grace is more than a word; it’s divine assistance, strength in weakness, and the difference maker in every part of our lives.
Paul reminds us in 2 Corinthians 9:6–8 that God is able to make all grace abound toward us, giving us sufficiency in all things. James tells us in James 4:1–10 that while the world is filled with strife and lust, God gives more grace to the humble.
📖 Key Scriptures Mentioned:
2 Corinthians 9:6–8 – God makes all grace abound toward you.
James 4:1–10 – God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble.
Genesis 15:5–6 – Abraham believed God’s promise.
John 2:1–11 – Jesus’ first miracle: turning water into wine.
Jeremiah 29:11 – God’s thoughts toward you are peace and hope.
Philippians 1:21 – To live is Christ, and to die is gain.
✨ In this episode, I share:
-Why grace is the key to growing closer to Jesus.
-How to step into the calling God has for your life with confidence.
-The difference between striving in the flesh and walking in grace.
-Why humility is the posture that unlocks divine assistance.
-A prayer of repentance and refreshing for all who are striving in their own strength.
God’s grace is sufficient for you—no matter your weakness, no matter your struggle. All He asks is that you take the first step in faith, and He will meet you there.
