Woman breaking a wall labeled with words like conformity, obedience, and strict adherence

 “So this means that Jesus is the guarantee of a better agreement from God to his people.”

(Hebrews 7:22)

You may sometimes struggle to fully grasp the magnitude of the Grace Covenant which supersedes the Law Covenant of Old Testament times.  The Covenant of Grace is a better agreement that Jesus has personally guaranteed.

Rather than becoming entangled in religious rules and regulations, you enjoy a life of freedom and love, which is led by the Spirit.

You find that obedience to the Lord doesn’t feel like obligation or drudgery. In fact, it is an opportunity to experience supernatural intervention. Each new task is a divine assignment, and each new assignment is a chance to bond with your Creator while working together to complete it. 

Christ has ushered you into a grace-filled existence. Your normal daily tasks are neither ordinary nor dull. Each moment holds a special purpose, and each step of the journey holds great significance.

Resting in grace, your life is on track for success. Without the presence of God’s grace in your life, you might worry that you are not progressing as fast as you should.

God’s grace has  you covered.  It places you at the right place at the right time. You need not stress or worry that you might miss His call or fail to take the right step.

Your faith in Christ allows you to live your life in the space of grace. In this space, there is no guesswork. Here, life moves in an orderly direction. God clears the path in front of you as each next step is revealed.

The space of Grace is a safe place; it is the right place; and it is the only place you wish to be.

Tetelestai Recovery

Not Just Another Statistic

lastwordrecovery

Truth can change the facts but the facts can never change the Truth.

We discovered within the Tetelestai realm of recovery, we were no longer destined to remain stuck in our sickness and disoriented in our dysfunctions. We were painfully aware of the facts concerning statistics, relapse, and case studies. We also knew the facts of our past, our failures, and our crimes.

We could not rely too heavily on these facts however, for if we subjected ourselves to natural results, we would forfeit the opportunity of a supernatural override. If we allowed ourselves to be enclosed by a fence of facts, we would once again fall victim to the old status quo. In agreement with Christ, we declared, “Tetelestai,” against becoming just another statistic.

We looked to the fifth chapter of the gospel of Mark to discover Jesus’ total disregard for facts. In this one chapter, we found three unique and unrelated accounts of individuals who desperately sought to change the facts of their reality. Each case study contained significant details which would negate the likelihood of change. To change an unchangeable fact is outside the realm of reality. We, like the characters in Mark 5, rejected typical reality based solely on facts. We believed that our righteous Judge could and would overrule the facts to establish His trademark justice which is lovingly steeped in mercy.

When we claimed the powerful declaration of Christ, “Tetelestai,” over our sickness, poverty, strained relationships, and criminal records, we were, in essence, asking Jesus to override our human facts in preference to His divine truth concerning our divine purpose and potential.

Deuteronomy 6:21

We were slaves to the king of Egypt, but the Lord brought us out by His great power.

*****************

In this Exodus story, Pharaoh was a powerful oppressor of the Hebrew slaves. Moses was tasked with the assignment to secure freedom for a group of people who could not speak for themselves.

Detachment from an oppressor can be filled with chaos, conflict, and self-doubt. Moses encountered all this, yet remained firm in his commitment to secure freedom for God’s people.

Regardless of the century or the civilization, oppression is present whenever the powerful and the vulnerable co-exist.

Without excuse or explanation, you decisively detach from groups or organizations who exhibit little concern for social injustice or the negative impact it has on society.

You do not join those who belittle or diminish another’s worth. You remove yourself from environments which are darkened by oppression, hate, disrespect, or intolerance.

You speak for those who have no voice. You use the Lord’s words to bring freedom to those in bondage, healing to those in pain, and deliverance to those in despair.

Like Moses, you have been called by God for a special mission.  In spite of countless questions about what to say or how to fulfill your role, you choose to simply respond, “Here I am,” and then wait for God to reveal His plan, one step at a time.
