(For we walk by faith, not by sight);{II Cor. 5:7}
¿Why is it so important to walk in faith? Because it is the road for which God talks to us, when we move in the right direction, we prepare for a harvest that will come from His Grace with a miraculous answer, supernatural and without limits.
When we do things our own way, we are letting happen a work of our flesh, { Rom 10:3 For not knowing about God’s righteousness and seeking to establish their own, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God;The harvest, then, will not be from the Spirit but from the flesh, the results from the Spirit can only be obtained when we move in the works of the faith, activating the Divine through them.
In the scriptures we see that Isaac is the result of the works of the Spirit and Ishmael is the result of the works of the flesh, because Abraham decided to take another road that God had not sent him. When he acted in faith on what God had promised to him, he operated on the belief and God moved on this. Both Abraham and Sarah connected with the faith to experience the Grace, due to their already advanced age and a divine intervention was necessary for the son of the promise to come that was how God’s blessing manifested.
Everything that we receive from the Lord, we receive it with the projection of God’s purpose, and if we embark in that direction acting with faith, we access the Grace. {Rom. 5:2} through whom also we have obtained our introduction by faith into this grace in which we stand, The Apostle Paul did not speak about entering a religious system, a congregation x, or religious organization, but instead about entering the Grace of God, a form established by God before time began, to the spirit. {Rom. 6:17} But thanks be to God that though you were slaves of sin, you became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching to which you were committed; We need to close our ears to anything strange, to the comments of the religious system and open them more to God, to the Spirit of the Word.
“In the same way then, there has also come to be at the present time a remnant according to God’s gracious choice. But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works, otherwise grace is no longer grace.” Romans 11: 5 & 6
There is a big difference between the Grace and the Works of the religious flesh; the Grace we received it when we were chosen and predestined before the foundation of the world. {II Tim. 1:9} – who saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to the power to our Works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was granted us in Christ Jesus from all eternity, When we begin having intimacy with our Father, it is then when the Grace begins manifesting, and WE can grow when WE walk applying in Faith everything that we keep receiving through his Word.
But we can annul the Grace when we do things our own way, on the strength of our flesh, on the natural. That is why we need to be careful about not doing according to religion but to the Word; the religious has too many doings, sacrifices, penances, rituals, ceremonies, rudiments such as, baptisms, fasting, communion, days to keep or celebrate, which indicates that they do not walk by Faith but rather by what they do and see, their religious works.
While the Grace of God goes beyond where sin reaches, covering us with its love and lifting us, if we practice what is wrong, we cannot see the good results in our life nor we will find our destiny. {Rom. 6:1 - ¿ What shall we say then? ¿Are we to continue in sin so that grace may increase? ¡May it never be!
Everything that we are and do, we owe it to the Divine Grace. When we have the Grace not only comprehending it from our point of view but also assimilating it directly from the spirit to manifest it in our life, miracles overflow everywhere. It is important to understand that as good administrators of His Grace, we should transmit what we receive, not information of doctrines, but a lifestyle in which the world see Christ manifested in our life. What we keep receiving, we should channel it in words of faith, motivation and encouragement towards other people.
