Grace is a word used to refer to a supernatural gift, earlier even used to describe pagan gods/demons called graces of the particular powers they were believed to hold, like fertility, harvest, e.t.c. Grace is not a separate entity from its source. When we therefore refer to grace from a Christian perspective we refer to God in His totality, His fulness. The fulness of God is His Son, His Spirit, the unending gifts and fruits that come out of all these and even Gods ministering spirits, the angels he has sent to the earth to minister to His people. All these make the grace of God and it is incomprehensible to men.
By gracing us with His son, God reconciles us to Himself by making us part of the body of His son. This union translates us in the spiritual realm into the Kingdom of His son, also forming a shield over us, hiding us from the reach of wicked powers to a certain extent. The next important grace we receive from God is that of His Spirit. The Spirit of God in us is a seal that declares our inheritance of the things of God. This is granted access to the richness of God, His graces. It is for this reason that Christ promised "when the spirit of God comes upon you, you shall receive power..." The Spirit of God is God in spirit form. You know someone with the Spirit of by looking out for God in Him/Her. Demons do babble a lot of vanity on the premise of speaking in tongues so this should not be the only test of a person baptized in the Spirit of God.
By dwelling in us, God is able to transform us, by association, an ever present desire, into His likeness. The more this likeness grows, the higher the level of Gods glory is. It never stops, because God is unsearchable, and His grace, greater than we know. This transforming power is also the grace of God.
A note on character/ Bahavioural change. God is working on our Character, and for us to be the change, we need to coperate with behavioural change. The character of God is more than just behaviour. Anything coming out of God, as Godly character does, is power against the powers of the Gods of this world. This is why the devil prefers to have Christians with no Gods character in them. Should you go through my reports of recent developements in the spiritual principalities of the world, you would understand why this is happening at this time with such intensity and power to influence.
The grace of God is not forceful. Do not expect God to force patience out of you, or joy, love, peace. You have to be a willing participant. This willing participation is all that the walk of faith requires, and it is also the greatest threat to the powers of darkness. This is the Kingdom of God: Righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. This is all the church needs for the takeover of the Kingdoms of this world. It is the secret place of all the power of God. The power of God is in His character.
Like it poured down in the time of Noah is a storms in our times, this time, in the spiritual high places. It is time to hide in the ark, then a boat fashioned to give protection to all who would believe, the Lord has become our Ark through faith. It is in this ark that we need to stay untill the stormy season has passed. Keep yourself in the quiet presence of God. This is the presence of God: righteousness, peace joy in the HolyGhost. Right now, these are scarce virtues, so hold on to what you have. Avoid the storm by staying in the presence of God. One sure way of remaining in this protective grace is by maintaining a Godly character. Avoid contentions, which are a threat to your peace. Avoid taking offence and losing your joy. Allow the works of righteousness to flow out of you even when it is not convenient. All these shield against the powers of darkness in a season of storm. Hide away any buttons that can be pushed and be ware of doctrines that
lure you out of the protective hedge.
Incase you were caught offguard already and you are swimming in the storm, remember God is your shield. Get back into the hedge of protection by submission to God and waiting for His counsel. Never go to war without power. The power is only in the counsel of God, not men and sometimes their misleading hype. This may take time, or it may be almost immediate, depending on the individual. Get rid of all fear and anxiety and if prayer seems unanswered, cry out to God. Love all men too. Including your enemies.
