Today’s New Covenant nugget is from Ephesians 2:8-9

For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.

Jesus gave us everything pertaining to life and godliness. We have been saved (Sozo) [prospered, healed, delivered, protected, preserved and blessed with every blessing] by grace through faith. In other words, in Christ we already have everything that we will ever need. We access what we have by grace through faith and not through works, we can never earn what has been earned by Jesus and freely given to us. In and through Him we have everything. The emphasis is on ' have'. You already have it, just thank Him for what He has already given you.

There is no need to work for things, we receive them by grace through faith! Some may argue, “the bible says that faith without works is dead”, the works are referred to in James 2:14-26 are not referring to futile efforts to try to earn things from the Lord, the ‘works’ in James 2:14-26 are referring to believers being doers of the Word. You laying hands on the sick is called a work of faith – it does not earn healing but rather releases healing by grace through faith.

If you have a need, Jesus has already provided the answer for you just receive it by faith in Jesus Name! Just say, “Jesus, I receive by grace through faith!” Whatever it is – healing, provision, favor, wisdom or ability – just receive it by grace through faith, in Jesus Name!
