Bible says and what we face as a human experience as believer, that is challenge and struggle
Still trying to get terms with

Maybe is who and not how. because how means something I need to do

Pastor first book build on this verse
I must understand this verse
First thing I need to understand God wants me to reign in life, victory. Kingly rule every area and situation in my life
Salvation of God is complete in His deity
Power of God unto salvation , complete and absolute salvation in my life
God wants me to reign
Full with bitterness envy and pride, sick bombarded by feelings how to reign?
Victory can’t be Achieve, this victory must be receive
I understand this, I reign in life
Not be achieving, “I do it”
It’s by receiving, what I do is not doing anything, I’m simply receiving
Restful life
It’s by receiving, receive:
-the abundance of grace ( unmerited favor of god, I cannot earn it. Not rewards that something I do . It’s a free gift, it’s grace of God, gospel of grace, good news is good news of grace of God, God is kind towards me, not because of anything from me. God is good towards men God heart is to provide, heal, bless, to help me overcome weakness, give me that job. holiness is blessing to man. Holiness is a gift to man, it’s such a great gift.
Walk in love. Marriage is a series of love
Lord says we are to love and forgive
Not by my will power and my strength, how do I do it?
Instead of me trying to love, I tell the Lord lord I cannot, I don't have love, but Lord You are love, You are my life and You live in me, me and You are 1. I’m nothing. “Lord You love ___ in and through me, You forgive ___ in and through me”
When I let go and I receive the grace of God, this grace is a love for me first, even I fail, I received His love for me, His unmerited, His grace for me
I receive His forgiveness
And I receive the 2nd gift the gift of righteousness
I learn to depend on Him moment by moment, I see His grace coming in, I see his love touching my heart and I am able to love. My spouse will see it, my spouse will know.
Not trying, like squeezing water out of rock
Not trying but trusting
Not achieving but receiving
No longer works but by grace through faith
No longer under law, law is God demand on man, hence man ought to work
Grace is God united favour towards man through Jesus finish work hence man ought to rest
Under law man must work
Under grace, man must rest
Hebrews 4:10
For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His.
I enter rest by believing, faith is contrast to work,
Not working and trying but resting in Him
1 Corinthians 1:30-31
But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God—and righteousness and sanctification and redemption— 31 that, as it is written, “He who glories, let him glory in the Lord.”
Work of God, Ideal and originated from God
None of me but all of Him
I’m in Christ, He is my righteousness, I must take Him as my holiness, He is my holiness, every evil habit I will reign, when I receive grace
But I must receive grace.
When lapse, you reject grace and beg for God forgiveness, you don believe God's word, you subject to yr feelings and doctrine of man and believe Satan lie, how to reign?
I’m not my son I’m righteousness of God in Christ
My identity live it out,
God sees me as a man who never sin
My sins are forgiven,
righteousness impute in me, that’s who am I. I must have astonishing faith and trust God’s word.
Believe whatever God says to me are truth
Keep on receiving

FALL from grace is justify by law
I’m still trying by my own holy life to own my blessings, I fallen from grace, the power of JC no effect on me, it’s so scary, so don’t go there, don’t try
Trust.
Stop trying start trusting

Allow him
Step aside

God love for me is seen and demonstrated at the cross
Going through challenge, Remember the cross and His love for me
Abide in His love, abide in Him and He in me
Always Remember the great love of God
There is no greater love then this that a Man lay down His life for His friends
He died for me, suffer for me, torture at the cross for me
No longer I but Christ in me, He is my everything
Hope of glory

I live by faith in the Son of God who died for me
Amen!
