Recap : In episode 5 of unmaking God’s grace, we discovered that the one who is sovereign, powerful and with power to rightfully condemn us, does not do it. Therefore, we should not condemn ourselves nor others. today we look at ,
Episode 6 : Changing our perception of who God is and who we are in Him.
God sent His son to die for you and me. He is not like man, His love is unconditional and knows no boundaries. Often times, we think of ourselves at the bottom of the pit, not worthy of love nor belonging.
We see ourselves as ”Too far gone” or too damaged to be love or shown grace, then we see God as this wrath filled God , full of anger and ready to pounce on us. It is time to realize that God wants to trade our ashes for His beauty. He wants to take our dry bones and breathe life into them.
There is no place too far for you to find God’s grace or where God’s grace can find you. So come out of that lie that makes you think you are undeserving of graced live a life full of Grace. Let us not take God back to the battle ground where He already won the battle. Stop running away but approach Him because He is here to meet you and invite you back home to where you belong.
Ephesians 3 : 14-19 ( I pray you grasp how He loves you..) ~ be encouraged!
A Prayer for the Ephesians
14 For this reason I kneel before the Father,
15 from whom every family[a] in heaven and on earth derives its name.
16 I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 18 may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, 19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. I pray you to know that you are: His beloved you are free, you are the temple of the Holy Spirit, God’s child, a friend of Christ, His workmanship, you are adopted in God’s family, forgiven and clean, His masterpiece, whole in Christ, righteous, a co-heir with Christ, a citizen of heaven, new creation, justified, free from condemnation, set apart more than a conquerer …etc.

Walk in the confidence that He delights in you and wants to enjoy your presence as well. Remember, nothing can EVER SEPARATE YOU FROM HIS LOVE! ( I leave you with this encouragement)
More Than Conquerors
31 What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
32 He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?
33 Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies.
34 Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us.
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?
36 As it is written: “For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”[j]
37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.
38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[k] neither the present nor the future, nor any powers,
39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
