Who Am I? I Am Abnormal.

But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.  Ephesians 2:4-7

Why did God quicken ("to quicken" here means "to come alive") us?
To show us the exceeding riches of his grace and kindness towards us in Christ Jesus.
What does grace mean?
 Grace is synonymous with Favor.  Grace (favor) is given to us because our God is a merciful God and His love for us is as that of a Father who wants the best for His children, regardless of whether they are deserving or not.  We cannot earn it by doing.  We cannot loose it by not doing.
Our lives become abnormal as we experience the supernatural favor of God. An outsider watching your life will begin to see a difference.  The world takes notice that you do not experience what they experience.  "How do you do it?" they ask.  "Why is the country in a recession, yet you seem to being doing very well for yourself, and even happy compared to everyone else?"  Your answer, "I have a Great God, A wonderful Father who wants me to succeed in all I do."  

Trust Him.  Receive the Favor by knowing what it is.  Deut. 28 explains many of the blessings that are yours and the favor you can expect as a child of God.  Read and meditate on these and other scriptures that put the "Truth" in you, and make your FREE.
