From the desk of Steve Shultz:
I sure like this now word from Munday Martin. This young man is full of zeal for the Lord. I can tell that the Lord's presence was all over him while he was writing this! There's a lot of things the Lord is releasing with gifts, signs and wonders and Munday shares one of my favorite releases from God—His GRACE! Yes, I know this nature of God well, and we all live by it daily. Yes, I agree with Munday—that the Lord is releasing an abundant grace right now for us to grab a hold of!
Here are also a couple of great resources on grace and glory, including one by yours truly:
Munday Martin:
At this Time, there is a Fresh Release from the Father in Heaven of Abundant Grace
Much of what I am about to write is so simple that I pray young and old can easily grasp it together. Subsequently, the understanding and the applications of it are going to be life-transforming, so get ready for a "new you" to emerge as you receive this word! I cannot emphasize enough how important the following statement is right now: At this time, there is a fresh release from the Father in Heaven of abundant grace for the weary!
There has been an onslaught of the enemy this past year to attempt to steal vision from the sons and daughters of the Living God. The hordes of Hell's relentless attempts to try to infuse apathy in the heart of the Lord's Bride are about to be disannulled by a Church arising with power. Much despair has come to many in this past season due to discouragement, disappointment, and even fear of the unknown. However, God the Father has an ace up His sleeve right now—the Spirit of Grace! As you receive it, a new zeal will come upon you to fulfill the high calling of God in your life in Christ Jesus. Don't throw in the towel now—the best is yet to come.
Overcoming Power
God is about to release the Spirit of Grace to help you overcome! As this happens, the revelation of the finished work of the Cross will ignite complete joy and liberty in you! The revelation of being dead to the flesh and alive in Christ will become so common for multitudes set free by it. God desires to fully eradicate the spirit of religion off of people's lives, and He is about to inject into His Church a desire for His Spirit today unlike any other time we have known in history. So, let's go on a quick journey together and find the pathway into unlimited life in the Spirit and the next great outpouring, reformation, and renaissance in the earth.
On certain airline flights that I fly on, flight attendants come down the aisle and offer passengers "Duty Free" items. Few people, however, purchase these items, which I find to be very parabolic. God is offering His spiritual gifts, His spiritual fruits, and an eternal, bliss-filled life transformed by Him—"duty free." It is "works-free." All of the life of God we can receive today was provided and made accessible by Jesus' death on the Cross, His burial, and resurrection. But now God desires to take His Body from head knowledge to experience. God is about to fill you with the intoxication of His Spirit again on a constant basis.
Get ready, Israel. Get ready, America. Get ready, Netherlands, Italy, Wales, and much of the United Kingdom and Europe. Get ready, Ukraine. Get ready, Thailand, Pakistan, and much of Asia. Get ready, New Zealand. Get ready, Puerto Rico. Get ready, islands of the Pacific. The new wine outpouring is here to stay!
Heaven Airways
Please allow me to be playful for just a moment: "Ladies and Gentleman, this is Your captain speaking! We want to thank you for flying Heaven Airways today. We are now soaring through the skies over the mountains that have stood in your way and the old ineffective foundations of your past. The flight attendants will be coming down the aisles right now to offer you, your church, your ministry, and your life "duty free" items. For those of you who have been serving the Lord more out of duty and religious, unfulfilled service, you are about to be refreshed and ignited by the Spirit of Grace as you buy these items without money and without cost" (Isaiah 55:1-2).
Sound fun? As you take this gift of God, you will be thrust into a new favor in your ministry, life, business, or what have you. God wants a company of people that He can fully consume with His divine nature, supernatural power, and fruits of the Spirit, who will go into the deep dark places of the world to harvest humanity right in the enemy's territory. At the appointed time of harvest, the farmer knows he must go into the fields to reap his crops, otherwise his harvest could perish.
Zechariah 12:10 talks about the Spirit of grace. Supplication and prayers for revival going up for millennium are about to be poured out on the nations. It will take the Spirit of grace to go into the dark places and reap! He will make it fun! The enemy knows it is a time of great harvest in the earth and he has tried to stop you, but the God of supernatural peace is about to crush satan under your feet. As you fully embrace the Helper, the Holy Spirit of God, you will begin to live the promise to implement God's rule, dominion, and reign over the nations Jesus gave to the overcomers in Revelation 2:26: And he who overcomes, and keeps My works until the end, to him I will give power over the nations.
Is that just for the consummation at the end of ages? No! It is for right now! Many of you reading this, who have been tempted to retreat from battle, are about to encounter the Intoxication of the Holy Spirit again. This is not to negate the fact that you are filled with the Holy Spirit, but simply that the Holy Spirit is about to possess you with new grace.
For those who will embrace the new wine He is releasing right now, there will be supernatural advancement, fresh vision, a fresh sense of renewed purpose, and fresh faith that overcomes the world. Also, as a result of giving one's self over to this new realm of glory, experiences like trances, Third Heaven encounters, transportations, translations, and such other facets of wonder will become more available and common. Through these experiences, the Kingdom of power and glory will be deposited into your yearning hearts and flow out of you to the earth. New strategies will be given to you, and a season of acceleration will come upon you. Many of you are saying, "Man, I have wasted so many years!" God is trumping that by saying, "Yeah, but I am helping you redeem the time you lost in a quick work I am about to do!"
Being Intoxicated by God
Jesus warned in the parable of the sower not to allow the cares of life to choke out the Word. Many in our present day economy are consumed by the cares of life. Jesus said in Matthew 13:22 that those people who received seed among the thorns are those who hear the word; yet the cares of this world and the love of riches can come and choke out the word, and so they become unfruitful. Do you want to hear the good news though? As we become intoxicated on the Helper, the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, our Teacher, He will cause Christ's divine nature to fully manifest through us as we yield completely to Him, and we will be inebriated by God Himself, and the cares of life will not touch us. Much persecution will come against those who fully embrace all of the Holy Spirit, but there will be great rewards! Creative miracles will explode, and if you thought you have seen all of God's signs and wonders, get ready for new ones!
Even as I am writing this, I am so overcome by His thick, rich presence that I can scarcely even write this article due to the pleasure He is releasing in me right now. If you like, just reach out and take some for yourself right now.
A Dividing Line
There will also be a dividing line which will be released in this season which will clearly divide those who want all or those who resist the supernatural that the Holy Spirit has to offer, as He ushers in a Glory and Love move of God across the earth. Believers who say yes to all God has to offer right now will be given keys to see regional outpourings, and the winds of change will begin to blow and influence culture around them.
Embrace all the Holy Spirit wants to offer, and receive great grace right now for acceleration and deployment into the harvest fields in media, missions, and much, much more! Many are called, but few are chosen. Be part of the chosen few.
Very Juicy Fruits
Many of you have strived to produce the fruits of the Spirit, and even fruitful ministries out of works, but let me show you a better way. Jesus said, "I am the vine, you are the branches. He who remains in Me, and I in him, the same bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing." You are a branch, and as you abide in Jesus and allow the thick sap that flows through His vine to flow into your branch, you will begin to produce the juiciest fruits you have ever produced! Begin to let that sap flow right from Jesus into your branch, producing a supernatural love in you, a supernatural joy, a supernatural peace, a supernatural patience, and a supernatural kindness, and so on.
This will be so much fun, juxtaposed to the feeling of barrenness you may have carried before. God is about to stick to you like glue. Through intimacy, God will also impregnate you again with a baby and your ministries will bear much fruit! He is about to produce and unlock a miracle ministry on the inside of you that you don't even know is there. You will begin to be overtaken by a supernatural boldness as you become a gateway of signs and wonders in the earth. You will become a living tabernacle of God and begin to use the keys of the Kingdom to implement His will, purpose, and plan on the earth as it is in Heaven. Remember, God is a lover and He is looking for a burning-hot, fiery Bride right now that He can fully possess and fully consume, who will unlock the mysteries of His Kingdom and propel it into the greatest awakening the earth has ever seen.
Let's Pray: God, we pray You would begin to wipe shame from us now and intoxicate us with Your divine love. Lord, let us begin to gleam with fresh light, love, confidence, and dignity as we daily live in Your presence. Begin to establish grace in our hearts as we not only know about Your grace but experience it in Your glory, and fully become new creations in Christ. We decree we are a passionate people who do adventurous things, a passionate people who step out of the known into the unknown, and a passionate people who love hard!
