The Message For Today (August 4, 2024):

Audio Version Of This Devotional: Sufficient For Thee Audio

The grace of God is more than enough. God's strength is made perfect in our weaknesses. These scriptures that encourage us to keep going despite not feeling adequate or enough are the scriptures that we're focusing on tonight. For God's grace is sufficient. God's grace empowers us day in and day out to flow in the things of God.

Day in and day out the sufficiency of God is what empowers us through His Holy Spirit to walk upright and immovable in his will and his way. The sufficiency of God is more than enough. When the scripture says that God's grace is sufficient, it doesn't mean that the grace just made it by. The grace being sufficient means that there is more than enough. How you perceive sufficiency very much affects how you see God.

If there's some lack and some struggle, then you may see God as a god that you know but truly have never experienced in terms of the power of His might and instability in every part of your life; including your finances. To know God is different from knowing of God and to know God is different from simply going to church, having a prayer life, or doing a morning devotional.

To know God is deeper than ritual. It is relationship and receiving the grace of God being more than enough for you requires faith. The sufficiency of God being demonstrated means that there is faith somewhere. Someone is going beyond their capacity. They're going beyond what they can see and they're flowing in the things of God supernaturally which why they are seeing the grace of God which makes the crooked roads straight.

It makes the imperfect perfect. It makes the impossible possible. It is the Lord who heals, delivers, and sets free. It is the Lord who has empowered the gospel with His very life. The living Word, the great I am. His grace is indeed more than enough. When you consider what you must do and how you must do it, His grace is indeed more than enough.

The scripture in 2 Corinthians 12 :9 demonstrates that sufficiency. He even goes as far as saying he will glory in what he can and cannot do in his infirmities that the power of God will rest on him. He leads ever the more to leaning on God completely versus leaning onto his own capabilities and understanding.

Yes, His grace is sufficient.

Yes God is an all-knowing God.

Yes, He blesses.

But having that relationship and knowing that He's able to do so much more than you (more than able) changes you and shifts you at a heart level that you may receive the power of Christ. Jesus is the Living Word. The great I am. The power of God.

The scripture is predicated on our belief that we know our God. So, the sufficiency of God is all-knowing, all power, omnipresent but have you yet experienced it?

Experiencing the sufficiency of God, experiencing the grace that kicks in when you feel like you don't have any more left, and experiencing the favor of things turning around right in the nick of time: this is the grace of God at work in your life. This does not mean that there is always going to be lack. This means that God will always empower you and will always walk with you.

His grace is sufficient and his strength made perfect in our weaknesses. It is when we are weak that God shows himself mighty and strong. It is when we feel like we're lacking that God becomes Jehovah Jireh, God the provider. It is when we're dealing with great battles that we know God to be Jehovah Nissi, the God of our banner that brings victory. He is all-knowing, all-powerful, and his grace is sufficient for you.

It's sufficient for what you need. It is sufficient for where God is taking you. It is sufficient. It is more than enough because God is more than able. Receive that this morning. Receive that God is able to do what He said to do. That the empowerment of the Holy Spirit is going forth supernaturally and that the sufficiency of God has been unleashed upon the people of God in this season through prayer and fasting. That we may see the God of more than enough.

Noo more barely making it. No more struggling. We decree in the name of Jesus more than enough.

Closing Devotional Prayer

My prayer for you: Tonight Father, I thank you for the mighty woman of God. I think there is a shift now coming forth over her life. I thank you that is here and no further lord. I give you the glory and I bless your holy name for shifting every situation around. Lord, I thank you for being a keeper.

I thank you for the fire of God. Lord, here and no further. I thank you that the mighty woman of God is getting ready. She listened to the prayer. She is listening to this devotional. But I pray God, that now she would take a few moments to meditate on this word and go before you God, and pray.

I am praying, oh God, that her meditation guides her to something new, something powerful, something real, and something for your glory. I thank you Lord and I pray these things in Jesus’ mighty name. Amen.
