Sometimes I think we forget as to how our God in heaven does work. Many times over I see believers give the impression that all they have to do is snap their fingers and everything in heaven and earth moves on their behalf. Even though He is a merciful and gracious God; we are no longer required by the Law of Moses to do certain things to have certain things in our life. Everything has been given to us through His precious grace, it is by His grace. However, we must access His wonderful grace.

Even the moment that we were born again, and we gave our life to God He was a faith God; we had to believe to be saved. Everything about Him works through faith; even though we try to put everyone back under the law. But, it’s by His grace and the truth is that He is a faith God.

So now, we have you could say, a different mode of exchange for the things of God instead of practices and ordinances of the Law. To obtain what God has, there is a different way to go about it. First of all you have to accept what the word of God says, which is that He fulfilled the law and it has come to an end. To those who believe, everything has been freely given to us at the cross, that’s the grace and truth that came through Him. That’s His grace, that it is freely given, we don’t deserve it, we can’t earn it, God the Father freely gave His Son the Lord Jesus Christ and with it all things that we could ever want or need. We don’t have to slaughter sheep and spill their blood as the Jews did under the Law of Moses to have our sins taken care of. Jesus died for them and we were freely given His forgiveness and cleansing, that’s a part of His grace.

So what grace is he talking about here? He is talking about the grace supplied at the cross. He is talking about our salvation; he is also talking about everything that came with our salvation. And instead of the Law and its ordinances in order to obtain this grace, we are to access what was so freely given at the cross by FAITH. All we have to do is believe that He did what He said He did. That’s the only requirement. That’s our mode of accessing or having what God gave us.

Once again we find how important faith is; it is the essence of everything that God is. That’s how the elders in the old days obtained a good testimony. It was by the faith that they walked in and exercised. They walked by what they could not see including that someday God was going to provide His own lamb that would wash away the sins of the world (For those who believe).

It pleases God for us to believe Him and that we believe He will do what He says He will do. As I have said our whole foundation from the very beginning was built on faith. Not only does He tell us what pleases Him, which is faith, but He also tells us how to obtain it and increase our faith. We start out with a mustard seed of faith, a tiny bit, just enough faith to go looking for God. Then when we seek Him out He shows and tells us in His Word how to grow and develop the faith that we have.

So when we seek God though His word He promises us that He will reward us. How? By increasing our faith, the faith that is necessary to access His grace that was provided at the cross for every area of our lives where there is a need. So not only is He a God that provides everything we will ever need through His grace at the cross, but He also tells us how to access it and grow in it. Do you realize how wonderful and merciful God is?

So we find that if we seek God out we receive more faith and the way to seek Him out is through His word. That’s how faith comes, by hearing the word of God. That’s why one of the tools of meditating God’s word, called confession is so important. As we are confessing God’s word out loud we are not moving God, but we are moving ourselves out of doubt and unbelief, and increasing our faith in Him and what He has done for us.

We can also meditate the word of God by reading whole chapters and even whole Books of the Bible over and over. As that word comes alive in our hearts, God is revealed to us and in turn our faith is increased. We are then able to access more of His wonderful grace that He provided for you and I to walk in on a daily basis.

In the process of accessing His grace, we find His will for all areas of our lives. His will is for us to have enough faith or all the faith necessary to access His grace He so freely gave for our entire lives. These scriptures are talking about worship both private and corporate. As we submerse ourselves spirit and soul into His presence through worship, we begin to increase our faith because we are in the presence of faith itself, because God is faith. Another tool to increase or grow our faith to maturity is worship.

Try as hard as the devil may to deceive away the gift of praying in other tongues in some circles, it still is one of the most important things you can do to build up and grow your faith. That explains why many have spent a life of praying in other tongues and entered into many of the things that God has supplied through His grace. It is because as we pray in other tongues we are building ourselves up on our holy faith leaving behind doubt and unbelief we have in our lives. Therefore, enabling us to access more and more of His grace.

Here the disciples are asking Jesus why they could not cast the demon out of the young boy and Jesus said because of their unbelief. What is standing between us and all of His grace? For each person it is something different that the devil has picked out to use against us. God our gracious Father wants us to have it all, the devil our enemy and his cohorts does not, and is determined to keep us from God’s grace. So we see that not only is prayer (which is once again fellowship with our Father) another tool to increase our faith, but also fasting. Fasting puts the flesh and its desires in the place it’s been declared which is dead. Also as you fast you begin to get rid of that subtle (elusive) doubt and unbelief that will keep you from having all that God has for you.

I know you thought like I did at one time that us preachers were preaching the things we covered in this teaching just to have something to preach. All we’ve been doing is applying meditation, confession of His word, worship, prayer and fasting in order to develop our faith, to exercise our faith that we might access more and more of the grace of God.

My friends He already did it all 2000 years ago and His grace is that He turned around and gave it all to you. To receive His grace all we have to do is believe, and He provided the tools necessary to develop our believing. He can’t go around you but He can help you develop your faith.
