Acts 11: 9, “What God has cleansed you must not call common.” Sometimes we just forget how precious the blood of Christ actually is. His blood that has been shed for our lives, covers all of our sins, the mistakes of the past, and allows us to have life and have it more abundantly. That just doesn’t sound common. It’s not common, it’s miraculous! The power of His blood has transformed our lives, causing old things to pass away, and all things to become new again. Because of the cleansing that is brought to us through His grace, we are all more than common.
Acts 11: 23-24 tells us, “When he came and had seen the grace of God, he was glad, and encouraged them all that with purpose of heart they should continue with the Lord. For he was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. And a great many people were added to the Lord.
I know it can be hard to fathom, but we’ve got to see the grace of God. Grace is that of an ocean’s tide. As we stand on the shore, there is a tide of grace, that continually flows in and out, and all around us all day long, every day that we live. Though there may be times when you stumble and fall, trust in the Lord, renew your strength. Grace has the ability to make us glad, renew our hearts and allow us to continue the purposes of God. When we see the grace of God operating in our life, and realize that we are cleansed and more than common, it allows room for the Holy Spirit to work in our life. Keep pressing on everyday that you live, grow in grace, be cleansed by the Holy Spirit. Be glad in the Lord, because if you get this down, negative thoughts are transformed into positive thoughts. We live and walk in God’s grace so that His purposes may be accomplished in this earth, that many people can be added to the Lord! Remember everyday of your life, You’re more than common, because what God has cleansed, is not common!
