"[...] There is a successive and progressive process when it comes to our life in Christ which requires us to grow from within. Our inward growth is one which affords us joy, pleasure, delight, sweetness and the merciful kindness by which God exerts His holy influence upon souls …"

Brethren, be not children in understanding: yet in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men. 1 Corinthians 14:20 Webster Bible

When we speak of GROWTH, there is maturing, and transformation involved: As it is with the various stages of life to adulthood, our spiritual growth is made up of several stages and the end result is that we come to the MANIFESTATION of our sonship in Christ. We move from just hearing the Word without digesting it to understanding its implications and allowing the Word to influence our choices. We become conscious that as sons, we have RESPONSIBILITIES and there is a consciousness that we need to have, to come to the full measure of the stature of Christ, having our thinking trained. We become children in malice (evil), but we grow in understanding (perceiving and judging), giving way to the Lord to have His way in and through us.

 
Our Father is the God of all GRACES. He wants us to live a life of abundance, relying on His supply. The supply that He gives is the same SUPPLY for all, but it is manifested multi-dimensionally in each one, based on our AWARENESS. When we draw from God’s supply within us, we realize that there is less stress and there is more harmony in the way we do things, such that Grace is seen. Whatever we do brings sweetness, joy, and His HOLY INFLUENCE upon souls. In this Podcast episode, Dr Annie Smith presents Grace as God's supply in all things. Growing in grace means that you are exercising the holy influence of God over souls with ease. You do all things with joy, knowing that you are representing Him, and there is a giving away of God through you to others.
