mercy not sacrifice
Mercy is love going on the offensive. Father himself is rich in mercy; it is his means of radically demonstrating his great love with which he loves us.
There is no door before us in the earth today that true divine mercy will not unlock. Father determines strategically where and when a distribution is to be made; so Paul is able to proceed where and when great and effectual doors are opened to him. Even so today in the earth, Jesus places before us open doors that no man can shut.
These doors are entered into by walking even as Jesus walked, in a posture of unlimited and unconquerable mercy. When John sent from prison to ask Jesus if he was the Messiah, Jesus points to the kingdom of God being violently manifested in the earth - the works of the devil being destroyed. And the recipients and immediate beneficiaries of the kingdom are the blind, the lame, the deaf, the lepers, the dead, and the poor! They receive supernatural help right at the point of their most obvious need.
Blessed is the man who is not offended at this, for this is Jesus and this is his ministry.
“There is no door before us in the earth today that true divine mercy will not unlock.”
No doubt! It takes some faith to walk up to locked doors.
that’s it - that’s the faith we’re called to live in. look at how delivering the girl possessed with a spirit of divination is the key to Philippi (Acts 16), the healing of the lame man is the key to Lystra (Acts 13), and the deliverances and healings that Phillip ministered are the keys to Samaria (Acts 8 ).
could you & i walk in this realm of mercy? faith that walks up to locked doors and sees them not only unlocked but wide open……..yeah >>
