Great Grace:  The Power & Privilege of Prayer and the Continuous Supply of the Holy Spirit (The Spirit of Christ) at work with, for and in us – by Reginald Fleets of Reginald Fleets Ministries

In the midst of the apostle Paul’s Roman imprisonment, he spoke these words of confidence and assurance that resonate with the fullness of hope and expectation with us today as they did with Paul well over two thousand years ago:

"For I know that for me this will turn out to salvation through your petition and the bountiful supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ." -  (Phil 1:19)

Believer - We live the Christian life in good times and in(through) difficult times / circumstances by and through the bountiful supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ.  The bountiful supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ did not “die out and cease” with the former apostles but is available to the believer through the power and privilege of prayer and by God’s Great Grace in this New Covenant.  We can be confident in knowing that the power and privilege of prayer also did not “die out and cease” with the former apostles but is indeed available today. Believer let us be confident, assured and find rest in the Gospel Truth that we are not left as orphans to an impotent, weak, and powerless New Covenant void of the power of the Holy Spirit, void of God’s Great Grace and void of the Mercy of God of which are so truly and so surely available at the Throne of Grace today.  

Jesus Promised the Holy Spirit and the Supply of the Spirit in John 14:17-18:  "…17 the Spirit of truth. The world cannot receive Him, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him. But you do know Him, for He abides with you and He will be in you. 18 I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you."

Our Lord and Savior Jesus promised that He would not abandon us and leave us as helpless orphans but would send the Helper (The Holy Spirit). 

John 14:26Amplified Bible (AMP) - 26 But the Helper (Comforter, Advocate, Intercessor—Counselor, Strengthener, Standby), the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name [in My place, to represent Me and act on My behalf], He will teach you all things. And He will help you remember everything that I have told you.

The New Covenant Promises us full access to God's Mercy and Grace to help in time of need.through the power and privilege of prayer

Believer -  we have the confidence that we can come to the throne of God’s Grace (The throne of our Heavenly Father) boldly with full-welcomed access, acceptance, privilege and entitlement as sons and daughters. As part of this New Covenant and family glory we will never be denied access, have this privilege put in question or interrogated for any individual merit of worthiness as a prerequisite to receiving the Divine Benefits of mercy and grace to help us in time of need.  Mercy and Grace will flow unto us from this throne like a never ending river, geyser, spring and fountain of living water – This my friend is “The Supply of the Spirit!” Our access as believers in Christ is solely based upon Christ Worthiness alone and not our performance.   We will always have the blessing of undeniable and mutually inclusive relationship and fellowship!

Hebrews 4:16 (KJV)

16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

The bountiful supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ brings help, deliverance and salvation.  Paul noted he was not ashamed of the salvation (The bountiful supply of the Spirit) that comes from the Gospel of God’s Grace in Rom 1:16.

Rom 1:16 (KJV)

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

Strong’s Concordance – “Salvation” comes from the Greek work: sōtēría, so-tay-ree'-ah; rescue or safety (physically or morally):—deliver, health, deliverance from the molestation of enemies.

From Strong’s - The word for “Salvation” in the original Hebrew used in the (Old Testament) is yĕshuw`ah -  pronounced: yesh-oo'-aw; means something saved, deliverance; aid, victory, prosperity: —deliverance, health, help(-ing), salvation, save, saving (health), welfare.

And from yâshaʻ, yaw-shah'; to be safe; to free or succor, avenging, defend, deliver(-er), help, preserve, rescue, bring (having) salvation, save(-iour), get victory.
