1. Grace is a grip not a tap
2. Grace provides a stillness to haer Gods voice.
3. Grace gives us our position back.
4. Grace gives us our voice back.
luke 7:11-15
Pastor Juda Smith

.By Faith we have Grace
" peace
" accseptence
" are Justified
. Faith is Beliving what God said.
" not a fealing
" not an experence
" not a dream
" not our sucsess
" not a word from someone.
.Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Heb 11:1
.For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. Eph 2:8
.Note from pastor Evan.... "we tend to think from us to God when it is ... FROM GOD TO US".
. Our relationship with God is not baced on us.

Responce -able
Ephesians 2:8 -9 talkes about being saved by grace and not works. And hear comes The spiritual Ah-ha moment God hates works as a means to gain him He is the one that draws us near to him and he is in our hart closer then we can imagine. He didn't save us to do work or to glorify him, but because he loves us! Glorifing him and working for him is our Responce. My Sunday School Teacher Mr. Tom York seperated the word responceable to responce -able. That makes our burdan light in it self Changes the question from what is my purpuse to what is my responce. And that is "Holy" "glory" "worthy" lastly "thankyou". The work to be done God goes! He who began a good work in you will be faithfull to complite it in you. Philippians 1:6

Purim
Hay today is purim! Yay.
Talk about getting pillars strait. huh! Yeah Esther did that alright. I think the thought for today is "If I parish I Parish". The ans to Esther having her pillars strait was Obedience and contentment with the will of God. When we read "He works all things together for the good of them that love him" We take it personally as in what we think is "Prosperity". Sometimes we stiffen in our will under the guise of His promises. I.e. Jesus and The Cross!

Hewing again, making Seven more Pillars
Hay I've had this subject before but i need to remind my self each Year.
Proverbs 9
1 Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars: 2 She hath killed her beasts; she hath mingled her wine; she hath also furnished her table. 3 She hath sent forth her maidens: she crieth upon the highest places of the city, 4 Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him, 5 Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled. 6 Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding. 7 He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot. 8 Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee. 9 Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning. 10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding. 11 For by me thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased. 12 If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself: but if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it. 13 A foolish woman is clamorous: she is simple, and knoweth nothing. 14 For she sitteth at the door of her house, on a seat in the high places of the city, 15 To call passengers who go right on their ways: 16 Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: and as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him, 17 Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant. 18 But he knoweth not that the dead are there; and that her guests are in the depths of hell.

what shape?
What does one do when all the other girl’s hearts are made of gold and yours is in a Jell-O mold soft and penetrating? All searches for gold and mine for its treasure but who digs deep for jello "Bill Cosby” no needs not even him. Gold needs no wrapping for it is sought. Jell-O, you boil, put in a nice mold, chill, wrap package, sends it and it returns Stamped "returned to sender, address unknown"(Elvis) how he knew? Burl Ives even wanted "silver and gold". But alas my heart is Jell-O in its mold!
