Pastor Stephanie
We need His favour and grace in our lives
EXODUS 33:12-13 NKJV
Then Moses said to the Lord, “See, You say to me, ‘Bring up this people.’ But You have not let me know whom You will send with me.
Yet You have said, ‘I know you by name, and you have also found GRACE in My sight.’
Now therefore, I pray, if I have found GRACE in Your sight, show me now YOUR WAY, that I may KNOW YOU and that I may find GRACE in Your sight.
And consider that this nation is Your people.”
H2580 GRACE
Original: חן
Transliteration: CHÊN
Phonetic: khane
BDB Definition:
favour, grace, charm
favour, grace, elegance
favour, acceptance
Strong's Definition: From H2603; graciousness, that is, subjectively (kindness, favor) or objectively (beauty): - favour, grace (-ious), pleasant, precious, [well-] favoured.
Without favour in this world is very hard to live.
You know wherever you go you have your protector with you.
In the natural the people who don’t know God needs to wear shield. When you don’t wear anything you feel very scare.
EXODUS 33:14 NKJV
And He said, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.”
Rest is in a place of no worries.
My presence will go with you.
It is who is with you and who is in you.
EXODUS 33:14 MSG
God said, “My PRESENCE will go with you.
I’ll see the journey TO THE END.”
Moses had no more confidence in himself and his own ability. That is the time we experience grace. When we have failed and said the wrong things.
EXODUS 33:17-18 NKJV
So the Lord said to Moses, “I will also do this thing that you have spoken; for you have found GRACE in My sight, and I know you by name.”
And he said, “Please, show me Your GLORY.”
It is not in our own effort to become perfect woman or perfect man.
The time when Moses know he cannot, God comes into the picture.
EXODUS 33:19 KJV
And he said, I will make all my GOODNESS pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the LORD before thee; and will be GRACIOUS to whom I will be gracious, and will shew MERCY on whom I will shew mercy.
The more we understand grace the more we look away from ourselves
With God, relationship is vertical, we receive His grace
In Christ there is hope.
God was showing him grace and mercy. That means undeserved.
God is inside you.
The same holy spirit dwells in you.
Our heavenly Father prepared everything for us.
Your spirit is already full of God
H2898 GOODNESS
Original: טוּב

Phonetic: toob
BDB Definition:
goods, good things, goodness
property
fairness, beauty, joy, prosperity
Strong's Definition: good, GOODNESS, THE BEST, BEAUTY, GLADNESS, WELFARE:- fair, joy, GO WELL WITH.
We are not orphans.
Put in the son’s mentality. God is good all the time.
God does not take away.
God does not give and take away. He gives and gives and gives.
All things will work together for good.
It depends on whose Word you believe.
If you need to see evident first, it is not faith.
Anything out of faith it does not please God.
That is the natural realm.
Our God speaks first.
GRACIOUS - SHOW FAVOR
MERCY - LOVE DEEPLY, COMPASSION
Holy Spirit is always the one in the Pastor Stephanie’s speaking.
The letter of the law kills. It will bring condemnation.
The spirit gives life.
God entrusted the gospel.
We have the freedom to sin but we choose not to.
Preaching is either kill or give life.
Death and Life is in the power of the tongues.
Death and life. Not right or wrong
2 CORINTHINS 8:9 TPT
For you have experienced the EXTRAVAGANT GRACE of our LORD JESUS CHRIST, that although he was infinitely rich, he impoverished himself FOR OUR SAKE, so that BY (THROUGH) HIS POVERTY, WE COULD BECOME RICH beyond measure.
Understand God is a Giver and not a Taker.
God really care for us in every details of our lives.
God knows exactly what we need.
We have a good good Father. The same love He has for Jesus, the same love He loves us.
Jesus was so rich, He came poor for us
Jesus did it for your sake and my sake.
Through His poverty we are made rich.
2 CORINTHINS 8:1-2 CEV
My friends, we want you to know that the churches in Macedonia have shown others God's gift of UNDESERVED GRACE.
Although they were going through hard times and were very poor, they were glad to give generously.
In God’s mindset is very different
They were poor but they gave generously
In the natural when you give, it is minus.
But with God it is different
They had the joy of giving their money for God’s people.
Money in the world represent life
2 CORINTHINS 8:3-4 CEV
They gave as much as they could afford and even more, simply because they wanted to. They even asked and begged us to let them have the joy of giving their money for God's people.
2 CORINTHINS 8:3-4 CEV
They gave as much as they could afford and even more, simply because they wanted to. They even asked and begged us to let them have the joy of giving their money for God's people.
2 CORINTHINS 8:5 CEV
And they did more than we had hoped.
They GAVE themselves FIRST to the LORD and then to US, just as God wanted them to do.
2 CORINTHINS 8:6-7 CEV
Titus was the one who got you started doing this good thing, so we begged him to help you finish what you had begun. You do everything better than anyone else. You have stronger faith. You speak better and know more. You are eager to give, and you love us better. Now you must give more generously than anyone else.
2 CORINTHINS 8:8-9 CEV
I am not ordering you to do this. I am simply testing how real your love is by comparing it with the concern that others have shown.
You know our Lord Jesus Christ treated us with UNDESERVED GRACE by GIVING up all his riches, so you could become rich.
Celebrate the life of someone who comes to know Jesus
MALACHI 3:10-11 MSG
Bring your full tithe to the Temple treasury so there will be ample provisions in my Temple.
Test me in this and see if I don’t open up heaven itself to you and pour out BLESSINGS beyond your wildest dreams.
For my part, I will defend you against marauders, protect your wheat fields and vegetable gardens against plunderers.” The Message of God-of-the-Angel-Armies.
Tithing was before the law. Abraham tithed.
HEBREWS 7:8 NKJV
Here mortal men receive TITHES, but THERE HE RECEIVES THEM, of whom it is WITNESSED that HE LIVES.
Jesus receive the tithe.
We are tithing to Jesus.
Jesus had to die so that we can live.
Jesus is alive in our lives.
GALATIANS 6:6 TPT
And those who are TAUGHT the WORD must SHARE all good things with their TEACHER; a sharing of WEALTH takes place between them.
GALATIANS 6:6 NLT
Those who are taught the word of God should provide for their teachers, sharing all good things with them.
GALATIANS 6:6 NIV
Nevertheless, the one who receives instruction in the word should share all good things with their instructor.
GALATIANS 6:7-8 TPT
Make no mistake about it, God will never be mocked! For what you plant will always be the very thing you harvest.
The harvest you reap reveals the seed that was planted. If you plant the corrupt seeds of self-life into this natural realm, you can expect to experience a harvest of corruption.
If you plant the good seeds of Spirit-life you will reap the beautiful fruits that grow from the everlasting life of the Spirit.
1 TIMOTHY 5:17-18 TPT
The pastors who lead the church well should be paid well.
They should receive double honor for faithfully preaching and teaching the revelation of the Word of God.
For the Scriptures have taught us: “Do not muzzle an ox or forbid it to eat while it grinds the grain.”
And also, “The one who labors deserves his wages.”
Everyone is a witness to bring soul to Jesus
You need to be equipped to have a mindset of God.
When you serve the Lord, God is your pay master.
PROVERBS 19:17 TPT
Every time you GIVE to the poor you make a loan to the Lord. Don’t worry—you’ll be repaid in full for all the good you’ve done.
God pays back in full.
2 CORINTHIANS 9:1-2 CEV
I don't need to write you about the money you plan to give for God's people. I know how eager you are to give. And I have proudly told the Lord's followers in Macedonia that you people in Achaia have been ready for a whole year.
Now your DESIRE to GIVE has made them WANT to GIVE.
God’s greatest desire is to give!
We have a Giver inside us
2 CORINTHIANS 9:5-6 CEV
So I have decided to ask Titus and the others to spend some time with you before I arrive. This way they can arrange to collect the money you have promised. Then you will have the chance to give because you want to, and not because you feel forced to. Remember this saying, “A few seeds make a small harvest, but a lot of seeds make a big harvest.”
God does not want anyone to give thinking God needs our money.
2 CORINTHIANS 9:7 CEV
Each of you must make up your own mind about how much to give. But don't feel sorry that you must give and don't feel you are forced to give. God loves people who love to give.
You sow seeds you will get harvest and get much more than you planted.
God can feed the poor
God can bless us with everything.
2 CORINTHIANS 9:8 CEV
God can bless you with EVERYTHING you need, and you will always have MORE THAN ENOUGH to do all kinds of good things for others.
Our God gives us more than enough to be a blessing to others.
2 CORINTHIANS 9:10-11 CEV
GOD GIVES SEED to FARMERS and PROVIDES everyone with food.
He will INCREASE what you have, so you can GIVE EVEN MORE to those in need.
You will be BLESSED in EVERY WAY, and you will be ABLE to KEEP on being GENEROUS.
Then many people will thank God when we deliver your gift..
God supply seeds to the sower.
Keep on being generous
The church never lacks.
God gives, He will increase in your life
Through Christ we are blessed in every way.
God’s goodness and favour increase in us
God will take care. The world will know Jesus is real.
This is the real freedom.
