Podcast #8 | The maturing of sons Part 1- Growing in Grace | Dr Annie Smith
"[...] There is a successive and progressive process when it comes to our life in Christ which requires us to grow from within. Our inward growth affords us joy, pleasure, delight, sweetness, and the merciful kindness by which God exerts His holy influence upon souls …"
Brethren, be not children in understanding: yet in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men. 1 Corinthians 14:20 Webster Bible
When we speak of GROWTH, there is maturing, and transformation involved. As it is with the various stages of life to adulthood, our spiritual growth is made up of several stages and the end result is that we come to the MANIFESTATION of our sonship in Christ. We move from just hearing the Word without digesting it to understanding its implications and allowing the Word to influence our choices. We become conscious that as sons, we have RESPONSIBILITIES, and there is a consciousness that we need to have to come to the full measure of the stature of Christ, having our thinking trained. We become children in malice (evil), but we grow in understanding (perceiving and judging), giving way to the Lord to have His way in and through us.
Our Father is the God of all GRACES. His graces are multifaceted and multi-dimensional. The supply that He gives is the same SUPPLY for all, but it is manifested multi-dimensionally in each one of us, based on our AWARENESS. When we draw from God’s supply within us, we realize that there is less stress and there is more harmony in the way we do things, such that Grace is seen. Whatever they do brings sweetness, joy, and His HOLY INFLUENCE upon souls. God wants us to grow in grace and in the knowledge of Christ, having a tangible experience of Him so that we may be wanting nothing; being complete in Him. You can live a life of abundance daily when you rely on God’s supply. In this episode, Dr Annie Smith presents Grace as God's supply in all things. Growing in grace means that you are exercising the holy influence of God over souls. In whatever we do, we do it with JOY, knowing that we are representing God while we serve, and there is a giving away of God through you to others.
