Episode 05: The Spirit of Grace

Experiencing the Spirit of Grace

Over the last fifty years, there has been a remarkable resurgence in preaching and teaching about God’s grace. Sadly, like so many biblical doctrines, grace has often become something people talk about—but seldom experience. I’ve witnessed some of the most irrational arguments over subtle doctrinal points about grace. Ironically, the behavior of those arguing usually reveals that, while they may have the right information about grace, they are not living in the power of grace!

Rarely do we hear people talk about how grace is actively transforming their lives—making them more stable in their walk with God, bolder in sharing their faith, more loving, kind, and patient. What’s even more troubling is that, for many, the message of grace has not softened their hearts—it has hardened them. Instead of becoming more compassionate and understanding, they’ve become more critical and less patient with those who do not embrace their doctrinal position.

We are all given the gift of God’s grace when we are born again, but that doesn’t mean we’ve truly received it—that is, taken hold of it by faith. Until we do, grace remains only a doctrine we can discuss, not a power that changes our lives! Grace is one of the great distinctions between the Old and New Covenants. The Old Covenant describes righteousness, love, ethics, and morality—but it didn’t give us the power to live them. But the grace of God makes us able! It is the power, strength, capacity, and ability that works from our hearts!

The Holy Spirit is called the Spirit of Grace, revealing that grace is more than an impersonal power. It is a manifestation of the person and power of the Holy Spirit! The Holy Spirit is not only our Counselor and Teacher—He is our strength. He manifests Himself within us, empowering us to live, function, and walk fully in the life of God.
Join me this week as we move beyond mere discussion—into the living, transforming power of God’s grace! The Kingdom of God is not in word, but in power (1 Cor 4:20). If we only talk about grace but are not experiencing the power of grace, it is mere doctrine, not life!!

Negative experiences that occur from conception throughout our entire life are buried in our physical body, stored as frequencies, and imprinted onto our cells. These negative experiences are so powerful, they influence the programming of our DNA, thereby shaping and programming our entire life.

Every cell and each organ of the body must vibrate at specific frequencies to maintain optimal health; therefore, exposure to any dissonant frequency can cause serious health problems. Every word, thought, emotion, and feeling has a frequency that either supports health or destroys it.

Unless destructive frequencies are transformed, they lie in wait for our blood! These frequencies are stored as cellular memories that not only undermine the function of healthy cells; they reemerge in the form of feelings that become part of our belief system, even though they were never chosen and may be completely irrational. As feelings, they drive our behavior, dictate our health, and influence every aspect of our life. These buried beliefs are seldom remembered but never go away. They reemerge as feelings that affect the way we think, talk, or act, and make decisions. Since “every seed bears after its own kind,” these subtle feelings drive us in behavior that always produces after its own kind. Until we can change our feelings, our life will be an ever-growing syndrome of more of the same, just as Jesus warned in Mark 4:24-25.

Wisdom for Healing follows the scriptural admonition to seek wisdom when we’re facing difficulties. Wisdom is the practical application of truth to solve the problem. You’ll learn firsthand how to recognize these subtle negative feelings before you act on them. You’ll discover how specific feelings influence specific disease! And you’ll learn powerful tools to use to stop those feelings.

This is your chance to end lifelong negative feelings and transform them into positive, healing, productive feelings. Many of your repeated physical problems will simply disappear as you transform the root feelings that feed them! This program is an absolute must for everyone who intends to live a healthy physical and emotional life!
