Dispensation of Grace

John 3:6 - That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

I received a revelation about the Dispensation of Grace unlike I had ever seen before.  I hope I can explain it without losing the thought.  We have been so caught up in our natural existence until there is a disconnect between who we are spiritually and the lives we live naturally.  We struggle to live life in the natural to the neglect of our spirit man.  As a child we had a saying, "Seeing is believing."  From a religious viewpoint, we want to see and make things happen.  Unfortunately what Christ died for us to have is not based on the work of mens hands (human effort).  

The Spirit realm is not meat and drink (Rom. 14:17).  It is not about works.  We think there is something we can do to be accepted of God.  We need to move away from that humanistic ideology.  Years of going to church has engrained  doing in our minds.  We need our minds renewed (Rom. 12:2).  We need knew mental models. We need visions of what God wants to do to us, in us, and through us. If we would invest time  in the Word, it will open the door to a whole new level of knowledge.  The "hands-on model" of the Old Testament has been done away with.  The stories of how they fought, how they loved, and who they were as men of renown are pictures for us see who God is.  We are greater than the Old Testament characters because we have a better covenant, built on better promises and a better High Priest, Jesus Christ our Lord.  The dispensation of grace is about the unmerited, unearned, undeserved, free flowing favors of God.  Jesus, Himself, has made us accepted in the Beloved.  His grace is like the sun that sends its warming rays and all we have to do is rest in them. 

We are spirit.  We are in Christ; He finished the work and His blood covers us.  We have been born again; we were regenerated.  We are a brand new species of being.  We have put off the body of sin and put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness (Eph. 4:24).  We are new creations in Christ with power beyond what we can see, touch, hear, taste and smell.  The Dispensation of Grace is our oyster.  The only way to become who we are is by the washing of the water of the Word (Eph. 5:26).
