Understanding the Essence of Grace

By Creflo Dollar

Summary

A relationship with Jesus Christ is more than just working the mechanics of Christianity. To know Jesus is to know the grace of God, personally. We must not become so principle-minded that we no longer know the one who gave us the principles. It is essential for us as Christians not to get hung up on doing the right things for the sake of performing, but to discover the essence of Jesus, who is love. What was true under the law may no longer be true under grace. The truth is that we need Jesus and have always needed Him; we cannot succeed in anything without Him. We remain humble and avoid pride and self- righteousness by always remembering that we are nothing without Him.

Maintaining Your Righteous Stance (Part 2)

By Creflo Dollar

Summary

The coming year will be a pivotal point for Christians; the changes it will bring include a split within the church in which people fall away from the faith and their love grows cold. There will be plenty of slander, conflict, and offense, and people will compromise their values; however, we’ll recover from that. Globally, governments will team up and become allies in preparation for the anti-Christ, whose mission it will be to destroy God’s church; on a personal level, there will be a vicious attack on our souls, in which the devil will try to get us to question our righteousness in Christ. He’ll use shame, guilt, and condemnation over our past mistakes and sins to accomplish this. However, our identity is based not on what we do, but on what Jesus did; standing firm on this in the midst of Satan’s attacks keeps us spiritually safe.

Maintaining Your Righteous Stance

By Creflo Dollar

Summary

In these last days, we’ll see unprecedented global changes, but not all of them will be good. Persecution will increase as part of Satan’s targeted attack against believers and against God’s church. The enemy will use shame, guilt, and condemnation as weapons; we’re to respond by standing in our righteousness and in our identity in Christ. No matter what our past looks like or what we’ve done, our faith in Jesus causes God to see us as holy and pure; believing that Jesus has already taken care of our sins by the sacrifice of His body and blood takes us from being sinners to being saints.

How to Find, Follow, and Fulfill the Will of God for Your Life

By Taffi Dollar

Summary

Knowing God’s will for our lives gives us focus and direction, but we don’t find it by accident; we must be intentional and deliberate in discovering this. Making a commitment in our hearts to do this allows Him to begin specifically guiding and directing us; He’ll never let it be a mystery. God wants illumination for us so that we can grasp and comprehend His will. Understanding comes sooner rather than later when we’re sensitive enough to His prompting to respond quickly; yielding ourselves to God allows Him to anoint us with our own unique assignment and calling..

The God of Second Chances

By Taffi Dollar

Summary

In an environment that regularly rejects and disqualifies people, we can be thankful for God’s unconditional love and acceptance; despite our flaws and past mistakes, He’s always ready to give us another chance. Rahab, a prostitute, was an example of this; despite her past, God saved her from destruction and used her mightily. We all have a past, but it doesn’t disqualify us in God’s eyes. Our enemy wants to shame and condemn us because of what we’ve done; however, God is always willing to use us when we trust Him. No matter who we are or what our present circumstances are, having faith in Him allows Him to work through us, redefine us, and elevate us to new levels.

Winning No Matter What

By Taffi Dollar

Summary

For the believer, life can seem like a string of constant battles that weigh us down spiritually; When we begin feeling like that, God provides us the opportunity to start over and begin again. He gives us the supernatural ability to win, regardless of what’s happening in the natural. He wants us to triumph; therefore, our victories are guaranteed. This is illustrated with David ’s victory in the fight against Goliath; like David, we are victorious when we trust in God and refuse to be afraid of others’ opinions. The pain and the temptation to cave in is real; however, our victory in Christ is even more real..
