Receive the Abundance of Grace for Grace to Reign in us for us to Reign in Life

And He has said to me, My grace is sufficient for you... 2 Cor. 12:9

As believers in Christ, we need to be those who receive the Lord as our grace upon grace, receive the abundance of grace, by coming to the throne of grace in our spirit, so that we may enjoy Him and so that grace may reign in us for us to reign in life. Amen!

This week in our morning revival we come to the topic of, Receiving Grace upon Grace for Grace to Be Enthroned within Us So That We May Reign in Life to Become God’s Poem, the New Jerusalem, as the Ultimate and Consummate Product of the Grace of God in His Economy. Hallelujah!

Throughout the New Testament epistles, the Lord’s grace is frequently mentioned, and in this series of articles, we focused mainly on the grace of God in the economy of God.

Whether it is Paul, Peter, and John, they all say, Grace to you and peace from God and from our Lord Jesus Christ, and, The grace of the Lord Jesus, the Love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.

Grace is the Triune God being processed and consummated to come to us and meet our every need; grace meets all our needs, supplies our needs, and satisfies our needs for the accomplishment of God’s eternal purpose.

We should not strive and struggle, because we have the Lord as grace; He as grace is with our spirit, and He is abundantly rich to us.

The grace of Christ with our spirit is abundant, flowing, multiplying, and ever-increasing.

We may still toil and bear a heavy burden, but the Lord as grace is with our spirit waiting for us to come to Him and enjoy Him; we can come forward to the throne of grace day by day to receive grace and allow grace to reign in us for us to reign in life.

May we know grace not only in doctrine or knowledge but also in our daily living; may we learn to experience the grace of God in our daily life, enjoying the grace with our spirit in all the daily situations of our living.

The Spirit of grace, the Spirit as grace, is with our spirit; the life-giving Spirit, the Spirit of grace, is with our spirit, for us to enjoy Him.

When we enjoy the Spirit of grace, we will have a certain kind of living, which is the living of grace. This living is just grace expressed through us and manifested in our daily lives.

In our relationship with people, in our marriage life, and in dealing with any person, matter, and thing, we should totally be in grace; we need to have a total living of grace.

May we give ourselves to the Lord to experience grace, possess grace, enjoy grace, appropriate grace, and receive grace all the time, even every minute and every second.

May we be there, living in grace, and may our living be the living of grace.

This grace is being multiplied to us, and many kinds of sufferings and trials can be the embodiment of grace to us.

On one hand, Christ came as grace and we receive the Spirit of grace at the time of our regeneration; on the other hand, as we pass through sufferings and trials, grace can be multiplied to us and in us.

God wants us to enjoy grace not just from time to time, not just a cup of grace here and there, but a river of grace, the river flowing from the throne of grace to meet our needs and to be multiplied to us, even overflowing through us.

Hallelujah for the abounding grace, the multiplied grace, the varied grace, the grace that is so full, so rich, so overflowing, and so available for us to enjoy and experience in our daily life!

We need to Receive Grace by coming to the Throne of Grace in our Spirit by Contacting the Lord

Let us therefore come forward with boldness to the throne of grace that we may receive mercy and find grace for timely help. Heb. 4:16 For the word of God is living and operative and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit and of joints and marrow, and able to discern the thoughts and intentions of the heart. Heb. 4:12Heb. 4:16 is a crucial verse for our Christian life and living; we can daily come forward with boldness to the throne of grace so that we may receive mercy and find grace for the timely help.

Day by day, we need a fresh supply of grace. And we receive this supply, we find this supply, at the throne of grace; when we come to the Lord in our spirit with boldness, we receive and enjoy grace with our spirit.

Without the Lord’s grace, we can’t bear anything; without His grace, we can’t do anything and we can’t work anything.

We are still here as believers in Christ and members of the Body of Christ because of the grace of God.

We need the Lord’s grace not only every year, every week, every day, and every hour, but even every minute.

Without His grace, we can’t bear what is happening to us, we can’t live the Christian life, and we can’t even stand our situation, our spouse, and the work we have to do. Oh, Lord.

How can we face what is happening to us, especially these days? It is only by receiving the fresh supply of grace from the throne of grace.

We can come boldly to the throne of grace every day and every moment to find mercy and grace for our time of need.

Where is this throne of grace? The throne in Heb. 4:16 is undoubtedly the throne of God, which is in heaven (Rev. 4:2).

This throne, the throne of God, is the center of the universe; this is the throne of authority toward all the universe (Dan. 7:9; Rev. 5:1), but toward us, this is the throne of grace as signified by the expiation cover (the mercy seat) within the Holy of Holies (Exo. 25:17, 21).

On the throne there is God and the Lamb (Rev. 22:1), and we can come to the throne of grace day by day because this throne in heaven (Rom. 8:34) is also in our spirit (Heb. 4:12).

Hallelujah, the very Christ who is in heaven is also in our spirit (Rom. 8:10; 2 Tim. 4:22), where the habitation of God is (Eph. 2:22).

Our spirit indwelt by the Spirit of God is the habitation of God, the house of God, the gate of heaven, and here we have Christ as the ladder joining earth to heaven and bringing heaven to earth (Gen. 28:12-17; John 1:51).

As long as we turn to our spirit, we touch the throne of God, which is the throne of grace.

Undoubtedly, the throne mentioned [in Hebrews 4:16] is the throne of God, which is in heaven (Rev. 4:2). The throne of God is the throne of authority toward all the universe (Dan. 7:9; Rev. 5:1). But toward us, the believers, it becomes the throne of grace, signified by the expiation cover (the mercy seat) within the Holy of Holies (Exo. 25:17, 21). This throne is the throne of both God and the Lamb (Rev. 22:1). How can we come to the throne of God and the Lamb, Christ, in heaven while we still live on earth? The secret is our spirit, referred to in Hebrews 4:12. The very Christ who is sitting on the throne in heaven (Rom. 8:34) is also now in us (Rom. 8:10), that is, in our spirit (2 Tim. 4:22), where the habitation of God is (Eph. 2:22). At Bethel, the house of God, the habitation of God, which is the gate of heaven, Christ is the ladder that joins earth to heaven and brings heaven to earth (Gen. 28:12-17; John 1:51). Since today our spirit is the place of God’s habitation, it is now the gate of heaven, where Christ is the ladder that joins us, the people on earth, to heaven, and brings heaven to us. Hence, whenever we turn to our spirit, we enter through the gate of heaven and touch the throne of grace in heaven through Christ as the heavenly ladder. Heb. 4:16, footnote 1, RcV BibleWe simply need to turn to our spirit to contact the Lord and we will come to the throne of grace to receive mercy and find grace.

The secret is our regenerated spirit, our mingled spirit, where Christ lives, dwells, and where He mingles Himself with us.

We need to turn to the spirit; when we call on the name of the Lord, pray to Him, and pray over the word of God, we turn to our spirit again to appropriate the timely grace to meet our timely need.

This needs to be our experience day by day and moment by moment.

We need to touch the throne of grace in our spirit by turning to our spirit to contact the Lord; when we contact the Lord, we are joined to heaven, heaven is brought to the earth, and we live a heavenly life on earth by the grace which is with our spirit.

Whenever we turn to our spirit, we enter through the gate of heaven and touch the throne of grace in heaven through Christ as the heavenly ladder; this brings grace into our being in experience, and we will live in grace and by grace.

May we contact the Lord more. May we call on His name more. May we draw near to Him more every moment.

Grace is with our spirit, waiting to be dispensed and transmitted into us to meet our needs, to rule and reign in us, and to cause us to rule in life by grace.

Lord Jesus, we come forward to the throne of grace in our spirit to receive mercy and find grace for timely need. We need You as grace! Lord, without Your grace we cannot face the situation. We need Your grace every minute. We come to You, dear Lord, to contact You and be joined to You; we abide in this organic union with You so that we may touch heaven, be filled with grace, and find grace to meet our needs. We need Your grace every minute; we come to You, gracious Lord, to find grace and receive the flow of grace. Hallelujah for the throne of grace in our spirit! Praise the Lord, our spirit as the place of God’s habitation is the gate of heaven, where we are joined to God and God is joined to us! Amen, Lord, we turn to our spirit to enter through the gate of heaven and touch the throne of grace in heaven through Christ as the heavenly ladder!

Receive the Abundance of Grace for our Enjoyment for Grace to Reign in us for us to Reign in Life

For if by the offense of the one death reigned through the one, much more those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ. Rom. 5:17

Amen, may we all be those who receive the Lord as grace upon grace day by day and moment by moment until grace reigns in us and we reign in life through grace!

Rom. 5:17 says that, as we receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness, we reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.

To reign in life is to conquer, subdue, and rule over Satan, the world, sin, the flesh, ourselves, and all the environmental circumstances.

In our daily life, there are many things that we go through, and many situations, matters, things, and even persons rule over us; in ourselves, we are always defeated and under the rule of something or someone. Oh, Lord Jesus!

We may be able to rule over our dogs because the dogs may be obedient; but what about our children?

One of the first words that a child learns and speaks is No. Even before they can say the name of their parents, the children learn to say no.

We must take grace, receive grace, and enjoy the abundance of grace for our enjoyment so that grace may reign in us for us to reign in life through grace.

We need to rule over the sin within us; we need to rule over Satan; we need to rule over the world and its usurpation.

There’s a certain flood of dissoluteness going on today, and there’s the world fashion and the way to live and behave; these should not conquer us.

Instead, we should conquer all things and reign in life by grace.

All we need to do is cooperate with the Lord by receiving the abundance of grace for our enjoyment so that grace may reign in us for us to reign in life through grace.

If we simply open to the Lord and come to the throne of grace with an open heart, we will receive the abundance of grace for our enjoyment.

Rom. 5:21 says that grace reigns unto eternal life; when we receive grace, when we enjoy the processed Triune God in our daily life, grace will reign in us unto eternal life.

For of His fullness we have all received, and grace upon grace. John 1:16 For if by the offense of the one death reigned through the one, much more those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ. Rom. 5:17 In order that just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness unto eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Rom. 5:21May we just come before the Lord day by day, coming into His presence to receive the fresh supply of grace.

The abundance of grace will cause us to overcome everything and meet every need in life.

When we receive the abundance of grace, this grace reigns over us and over everything so that we can enjoy the eternal life.

Grace reigns unto eternal life; this means that grace reigns for the eternal life, for us to enter into and enjoy eternal life.

Day by day and moment by moment, we need to be those who receive the Lord as grace upon grace; we need to receive the abundance of grace for our enjoyment so that grace may reign in us for us to reign in life (John 1:16; Rom. 5:17, 21).

Our personal time with the Lord is very important; our contacting the Lord throughout the day is vital for us, for in such times of contacting Him, we touch the throne of grace and we receive the abundance of grace.

Hallelujah, grace is abounding! Grace flows from the throne of grace in wave after wave of grace.

The Lord Himself is the throne of glory and the throne of grace (Isa. 22:23; Heb. 4:16); when we come to Him, grace will flow unto us as a river, and this grace will reign in us.

When we allow grace to reign in us, grace is enthroned within us as God’s ruling presence for our enjoyment (Ezek. 1:22, 26) so that we may reign in life.

Amen, may we be such ones, and may this be our experience!

Lord Jesus, make us those who receive the Lord as grace upon grace every day, even every moment! Amen, we open to You, dear Lord, to receive the abundance of grace for our enjoyment so that grace may reign in us for us to reign in life! We come forward to the throne of grace in our spirit to receive the abundance of grace! Amen, Lord, we just come to You open, unloaded, and poor in spirit; we come to receive You as grace upon grace. We allow You as grace to reign in us so that grace may be enthroned within us as God’s ruling presence for our enjoyment. Dear Lord Jesus, we enthrone You in our being; may grace rule in us for us to enjoy more of the eternal life! Hallelujah, we receive the abundance of grace and we can reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ!
