THE HAZARDS OF GRACE THAT HINDERS DIVINE RELEASE: LOOKING DILIGENTLY LEST ANY MAN FAIL OF THE GRACE OF GOD, LEST ANY ROOT OF BITTERNESS SPRINGING UP TROUBLE YOU, AND THEREBY MANY BE DEFILED:

LWFM EXHORTATION FOR THE MONTH OF DIVINE RELEASE FOR MONDAY 7/7/2014 IS: HEBREWS 12:14-16. Friends, our exhortation for today is focused on “THE HAZARDS OF GRACE THAT HINDERS DIVINE RELEASE: LOOKING DILIGENTLY LEST ANY MAN FAIL OF THE GRACE OF GOD, LEST ANY ROOT OF BITTERNESS SPRINGING UP TROUBLE YOU, AND THEREBY MANY BE DEFILED”. I want to begin our exhortation today with those hazards of grace that hinders divine release of Gods blessings, so that we can be conscious of them not to indulge or walk in them. Have you ever failed or ignored to walk in the grace of God? Have you allowed the root of bitterness springing up trouble you and take over your life? Have you allowed yourself to be defiled? If you answered no, you are on the right part to receive the grace for divine release, but if you answered yes, then pay a very good attention to this teaching because it will elevate your living status to inherit that grace of God that will enable the divine release of Gods blessings upon your life. The great hazard is grace disorientation. But what does that mean? (A) The Hazard Defined. Grace disorientation occurs when we fail of the grace of God (Hebrews 12:15). When we fail of God’s grace, we always turn to our own solutions, strategies, and methods for handling life which range all the way from humanism and legalism (ignoring God’s Grace we depend on self [Galatians 5:1-5]) to the opposite pole, license (using God’s grace as an occasion for the flesh [Galatians 5:13]). (B) The Hazard Depicted. Biblical pictures to warn us of the danger: The Bible has a number of word picture which portray this constant problem with man: leaning on the arm of the flesh which leaves one in desert like conditions (Jeremiah 17:5), hewing out broken cisterns that hold no water (Jeremiah. 2:13), warring according to the flesh or using human weapons against spiritual forces (2 Corinthians 10:3), leaning on the staff of a sharp reed of man’s solutions that pierces the hand (Isaiah 36:6), walking by our own firebrands to light our path (Isaiah 50:10-11). (C) Forms this Hazard Takes. Human Strategies for Living: i) Indifference – Overwork, extreme business ii) Escape mechanisms – Defense mechanisms iii) Loss of control – Rigid control iv) License - Legalism (D) Consequences of the Hazard. When we fail of God’s grace, we fail to exercise faith in God’s provision which leaves us operating in our own strength. This nullifies the power of God in one’s life, dishonors God, quenches the Spirit’s power, results in the production of the works of the flesh (mere human good and carnality), and general misery (Rom. 4:4; 11:6; Gal. 3:1; 5:1-5). I challenge you to please observe and abstain from these hazards of grace for all that belong to you to be divinely released to you to be blessed. Shalom. Read below: Hebrews 12:14-16 King James Version (KJV). 14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord: 15 Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled; 16 Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright.
