Some Grits from Bertie Brits

The carnal mind (works mind) is enmity against God 
for it is not subject to the LAW of God 
(law of God = the principle of JESUS 
as your high priest and righteousness). 
We live by the LAW of life. (principle of Jesus as my life)


+


Thanks be to God 
that we don't have to try and create our own perfect world 
by confession sessions and envision missions. 
We have a FATHER that knows what we need. 
We don't believe FOR stuff but IN someone. ... 


+


Grace = the influence of God in Jesus on mankind - 
what a powerful influence! 
Who He is - 
is the WORD about you.


+


The Holiness of God is not defined 
in God pointing out sin 
but forgiving sin. 
His holiness is defined in 
how good He is to us.


+


It is very difficult to hear His voice 
regarding direction in your life 
with guilt in your heart. 
Guilt fabricates many voices 
and you get confused about which one is God's voice. 
You are not guilty anymore!!! 
Heb 10. (the lamb of God)


+


God does not prune "things" out of our lives 
but wrong doctrine (wrong belief).

John 15: 3 Now ye are clean (pruned) 

through the word which I have spoken unto you.


+



It is wonderful to know you are loved, 
what a wonderful peace....


+


God believed so much in man that he became a human. 
I am sure He is not sorry for what He has done.


+



I believe in SOWING AND REAPING - 
Jesus was sown and we reap the harvest.
+


I think one of the best translations of Eph 2:8 would be the following. 
"for by reason of Grace, salvation is yours by faith... " 
God restored the platform where man has the quality
of HIS life to a platform of belief. 
When we understand the dynamics in the trinity 
and the importance of belief (trust) 
Eph 2:8 seen in this way is marvelous in our eyes.

It is impossible for God to have you experience eternal life 

without BELIEF in your heart. 
This is all because of our design... 
So so much to say about this. 
In this, HIS LOVE is clearly revealed. 
Belief is your yielding to the faith that rises as you hear the word. 
God is not threatened by our design, 
for it is of Him.... 
Even more to say about this. Lol


+


This is what I have come to understand after many years in GRACE.

Jesus came to restore many things 

of which I think the greatest was our ability to BELIEVE and live by faith. 
Being JUST does not give life. 
The JUST shall LIVE by FAITH. 
This is what Adam lost and Jesus restored. 
Adam started to believe wrong and from there implemented a wrong system. 
Jesus ended that system and our contract with that system 
(the system is called the law of being defined by ability), 
He revealed the Father and now we can believe IN HIM again. 
This belief forms who and what we believe in, in our lives. 
(read this sentence again). 
This is what it means to be BORN FROM GOD. 
Without belief you cannot be born from God. 
This is one of the most beautiful truths there can ever be. 
It spells LOVE, EQUALITY, RELATIONSHIP, 
it even spells of sovereignty and so so much more.

Sorry if this might bring a bit confusion 

but it is at least 20 hours of preaching condensed into a short FB post.


+


Some are willing to SACRIFICE the peace 
that comes from knowing UNCONDITIONAL provision 
in the heart of their congregation, 
for what they think is financial stability. 
This is done by teaching tithing and giving, to be blessed.

I have seen some people that were radical in GRACE 

slowly falling back into the old system. 
I think it is because they could not let go of tithing as sowing and reaping.

And some seed fell amongst the thorns...



+


The LAW is much more than 10 commandments. 
It is a belief or principle. 
It is the belief/principle/law that defines identity or being in ability. 
Satan did not attack Jesus with the 10 commandments, 
although it is the ministration of death in stone. 
The attack of satan on Jesus was much more subtle. 
Satan wanted Jesus to use the ability which He had 
to do miracles as the foundation for defining His being. 
That would make WORKS the foundation in Jesus's life. 
The end would be death. 
There is so much to say about this...


+


Under the LAW I walked from spiritual experience to spiritual experience, 
being obsessed with the supernatural, 
seeking what was still missing in my heart. 
Now that I am under GRACE I don't need anything more than what I have 
and where I am, I am satisfied with the continual unending emotion 
of peace, love and joy that is in me. 
This is a fruit of the true Gospel. 
No miracle can produce what the revelation of GRACE can.

(I am not against the supernatural and pray for people always. 

Lets not abuse the supernatural by finding our joy, peace and spiritual state in it)
