I was sitting pondering... Grace.. what the heck is it really?? I mean people say it's the unmerited favor of the Lord, others say it enables us to overcome... Is that all?? I was just thinking the song... Amazing Grace... how sweet the... SOUND... there's a sound of Grace?? What does this sound do... SAVES A WRETCH LIKE ME. Huh. So, Grace is something that is released that brings about a "SOZO" moment. A saved, healed, and delivered moment. Not just a point of salvation. Not just a point of overcoming sin, but an opportunity to enter into communion and unity with the Lord. I mean, before we were saved we were apart from God... right??
Sean Monaghan a friend of mine that goes to FSM and I spoke very briefly during the conference about this concept. I completely agree with him, and it's at this very moment that the Lord is completely highlighting it and bringing understanding to my mind. Sean was saying perhaps we undermine grace by making it just about sin. I agree. Much of what I know of grace always has to do with overcoming sin, but it's so much more than that. I don't think we understand fully. I would be very tempted at this point to say that Grace is the very Blood of Jesus spilled out. It was blood that bought us and redeemed us, yes, but more than that it brings us into His likeness and into His kingdom; forever!
I'm sure this is a lot like rambling, but it's just on my mind right now.
I just want to know grace. Once I felt it really strong, it was almost like grace was a person.. it was like the person of grace walked into the room... ...I don't know if that is scriptural or not, but it's literally what I felt. I want to know intimately, grace.
Then I want to figure out what the sound of salvation, the sound of SOZO is. Amazing grace how sweet the sound.... wow.... if we could somehow release that sound do you think that everyone in a radius of where we are would fall down and confess Him as Lord? Do you think it would bring about utter conviction, yet peace and life? I dunno. But I want to.
