World Wide Apostolic Assembly June 10-12
Presiding Apostle John Welty Topic : Discussing the Grace Wheel
Looking at 9 operations of Grace we need to understand so we know what God is doing in our heart. The operation and mechanism of the design God has for our transformation by grace.

1. Draws faith from the heart. God is issuing grace not without purpose but has expectation of him providing grace. God has provided for His expectation of obedience. God provides impact of grace for us to have confidence in Him. As we yield to grace and we feel confidence in faith. We need to note this confidence for our confidence in the things God provides that is not common to man. Positive humble response to that power of grace.
2. Gives us also grace for the heart to perceive Christ. Many stood in front of Christ but only saw the son of a carpenter. Not all saw or perceived Christ. Those who humbled themselves to Gods grace they were able to recognize Christ in the pattern of his knowledge and in the power of his tools within the apostles doctrine.
3. Strength of Will. God gives strength to the will. We worked with the philosophies of the world and molded our imagination with our own principles and resourced things according to our own philosophies meaning things that were true to ourselves. This caused a bruising and weakened of the will. The power is present of grace to assist, we still have to choose to work with that power. Like power steering, without power steering its harder to turn the wheel. The power assist to yield the will in submission to grace. God gives grace to strengthen the will. He assist us to meet His expectations. God makes known to us Christ and we mold our confidence with this revelation not what we imagined how Christ was but to perceive him in this fullness and reality of his knowledge. If your afraid to turn the steering wheel you will never know you have power steering.
4. Equity. There is a ceasing of hostility between the spirit and soul of man. Spirit having to do with the intellectual part of man and the soul the emotional part of man. Man looks at this as a struggle between good and evil. There is a system of iniquity and he brings forth the presence of a new power to subdue and bring end to the hostility. God brings inner balance by packing the soul with His substance of grace. People are consumed by the inner struggle and there are books and psychologist and huge industry to try to bring answers to this struggle and bring inner balance. We shift our focus from ourselves to Christ. God provided a new power to impact the soul with substance and quiet the soul. Equanimity is one who has the hostilities in balance between soul and spirit.

Charity;
God draws faith from the heart to bring the fullness of the revelation of Christ for power over the system of iniquity.
The power of grace allows the children to begin to focus on Christ, the young men to learn consistency in Christ and the fathers to minister the fullness of Christ.

5. Single mindedness. Eye being single, Having to do with focus. God provided this covenant that we may benefit from his work of the cross that we experience the benefit of the cleansing of the conscience. We shift the focus upon Christ through his power. Without grace we are overwhelmed with the inspiration of the world that demand our attention. Grace removes our focus from the thing of the soil, the things of the flesh that consume our attention because of our frailty , apart from his grace we are not of power to remove the earthly power and influence of flesh. Power of grace quiets those voices. He speaks to us from the perspective of the throne for power over the earthly powers.
6. Sober mindedness; Being mindful of our responsibility to that which the voice of the Lord ( grace ) communicating to us. Being mindful of the covenant and the priesthood of Christ. We are called to this priesthood. Sober mindedness makes us mindful to serve God in this priesthood. The grace of God wakes us up to this responsibility of our service. False knowledge keeps you in fantasy and no responsibility to the covenant. The hostilities of iniquity have ravaged the soul. Sober mindedness is as the voice of God telling Pharaoh let my people go that they may serve me. False knowledge lulls of to sleep but we come to know we are in need of redemption and the hostilities that ravish the soul.
7. Nourish the heart. Sinners experience these first 6 operations but not the last 3 which begins with Nourishment of the heart. These last 3 are not provided to the singer. God provided substance and sustenance. The soul is designed for grace and truth this is what the soul was designed for. Apart from the substance of Christ the soul only receives death. There is no increase and basic necessities of life are rare. Darkness and false knowledge prevailed in the soul. The soul was not created to live with the wood, hay and stubble. When Adam shows darkness the soul was not created for the system of death in the soul. Death was new to Adam when he experienced death. and life is new to us for we were born with the curse of death. Soul is always in search of substance to fill and be satisfied. For in the absence of grace their will always be a longing. God delivers us from this and nourishes us in Christ by grace and its operations. The substance and sustenance that He provides of Himself. He who drinks of my well there is satisfaction within the soul. Those who come into covenant with God we feel the Spirit providing the nourishment of Christ in the soul. We see this in the shadow by the Levitical priesthood. Priest nourished at the altar in the priestly duties so God our Father provided for us in our priesthood at the altar of Christ.
8. Enlarge the heart. These operation of grace are not sequential but look at these we experience all at same time as we experience the grace of God. Its operations are as a diamond that they take place in different sequences but its like multifaceted, the beauty of the diamond. God brings fourth increase. Just as water and light bring forth the seed.
Ongoing contact of grace God provides his substance and our heart God enlarges to increase of faith for our capacity to bear forth more fruit. God is in expectation of increase and he expects us to continue to embrace these tools for equipping us for increase. Hearts are enlarged to bear more fruit increase of faith. God is in expectation of increase.
9. Keeping the heart rooted in Christ; The planted seed has to remain in the proper environment rooted in proper environment. As trees remain by the rivers of water. We must keep our faith centered on Him so our heart wanders not. Grace keeps us from wandering. We cannot drink from our own well but must partake from that which gives life to the soul. Having come into covenant with God and receiving being sealed with the the Holy Spirit and working with the tools provided by Christ in covenant. God provides grace to keep us rooted in Christ. The absence of grace is the heart hungers and is wandering. We draw from the well and do not wander from that well for we have seen the source of His well that issues grace to give life to the soul.

5 Key definitions of Grace; - Set boundaries to the knowledge of Christ to make distinction of what the grace of God is and what it is not as we understand His
boundaries we can understand what grace is and what it is not.

Revelation -Bringing forth that which is concealed. Math 16:16, 17 Not by study of scriptures but by revelation. Not by being a scholar or education, you can have all this and not perceive Christ. God reveals and brings forth from His own bosom which is Christ. Jesus told peter flesh and blood has not revealed this to you but my Father which is in heaven.Peter was leaning to the grace of God. God reveals these things by his Spirit1 Cor 2:9-11. God is bringing forth from his own bosom what was concealed in His heart. Those who will embrace this revelation from God will recognize Christ in His grace.
Illumination- Has to do with making clear and bringing distinction for discernment. In a dark room you cannot discern in the shadows of the darkness. Grace provides clear distinction removing ambiguities, grace defines makes clear. So you can see what is of grace and what is not of grace.
Enlightment - Instructing and equipping us in knowledge. The grace of God embodied these things. He is providing knowledge and we are responsible to work with this knowledge He provides from his own heart knowledge, wisdom and understanding so we can serve Him. He provides the knowelge that we are to serve Him with this knowledge that directs us into the things that the Spirit works with to make us productive in his kingdom.
Awakening – Is key definition of grace. 2 peter 1: 19 the more sure word of prophecy to be aware of and take heed, work with this knowledge. The light of Christ entering the soul. It lights up the soul. The soul no longer slumbers but we see the urgency of knowing him. This is the operation of God in the soul. The day star gaining entrance into the soul like a sunrise. An urgency is given to come into knowing Him.
Communication – God communication of His grace to reveal, illuminate. Enlighten and awaken the soul to need of Him. To draw faith from the heart. To remain in his presence and be rooted in him. God manifesting Christ to us.

9 fruits of the Spirit.

Love - is not an emotion it is not within man, it is not in Adams power to express Gods love with mans emotion but is an expression of Christ. The power and effect of the Spirit the effectual working of God. God has to provide Christ that we can express Christ. We reflect on his knowledge to express him. Also known as charity. God is in expectation of your expression of Christ.

Joy – Eagerness to walk and please God. Our joy is made full when we are keeping covenant with God. Apostle John wrote these things write we unto you that your joy may be made full. We provide instruction that the grace of God works with, to direct our heart to be rooted in Christ that this eagerness to walk with God would be made real by this knowledge.

Peace – Power to subdue the powers of the flesh. The peace of God and peace with God for we are no longer offending God. God takes offence when you try to please him with your own emotions for you are tying to bring him down to your level or exalt yourself above Christ. God takes offence at both of these.

Longsuffering – One of 9 fruits of Spirit having to do with patience enduring of contradiction, patience endurance of time having to do with long discernment and we exercise long suffering, power and effect of the Spirit has power to subdue the flesh, and God is granting you the perspective of the throne to overcome. Power of the effect in working in submission of the Spirit. The fruit, offspring, and produce of working with the Spirit of God these are how the fruit of Spirit brings these things forth. People do not have these in them but the Spirit of God brings these forth. Those who remain without these they have no point of discernment.

Gentleness – Having to do with opposite of rough, rude or harsh. The impact of grace to tame the heart. Impact of grace has power to tame the heart.

Goodness – having to do with in the design of God reflecting his design. Genesis 1: 31
God saw everything he made and it was good, so when faith is drawn by grace it is by his design and it is good. God calls it good for it is by his design not separated from the vine there is nothing good hear. The goodness here is the perspective of God there is nothing good in the heart of man. Goodness also has to do with being made fit and useful for service as we are broken and tamed, like a horse that has to be tamed. We are not useful for service if our heart is not tamed.

Faith – Has to do with the substance of Christ. Substance of faith nourishes the soul. Soul is designed to nourish in this substance. Faith is the product of our spiritual contact with Christ. Faith is the offspring that is born from this contact this is fruit of faith. It is the reciprocation of grace. In type and shadow we see it in Jesus being born in Mary’s womb. God brings the form of Christ by grace. Hebrews 11:1 Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. This is not projection but grace if of power for impacting the soul for substance. God designed the soul with the substance of Christ it is substance and evidence. If anything less is presented the soul suffers and is not satisfied and suffers loss. God provides for substance in soul being the substance of Christ.

Meekness – Yielding and submission and having to do with being docile and readily and willing to work with the bit and the bridle. Ready to receive instruction that God is providing this knowledge by his grace.

Temperance – Not self control this as some bibles translate it, this from perspective of the flesh. Adam finds within himself the power to change thinking and his behavior but unable to change his nature. God is looking for Christ in the soul. This is only performed by the power of grace. God is looking for the expected results of grace impacting the soul to produce Christ. This is what pleases God. Self control is will worship this is not grace providing the substance of Christ.

Prophecies of the Body of Christ

Melissa Welty Teacher Melissa: The grace of God is necessary for holiness as Adam has been trained in sin to focus on himself. This draw of grace strengthens the will for faith allowing us to behold Christ; the expectation of God.
Melissa Welty Teacher Melissa: The inspiration of the world tethers the soul to need and frailty, but the Spirit of grace is our Sheperd which speaks of the yoke of His voice - the shelter, strength and nourishment of the priesthood.

Catie van der Walt When we mold our confidence with the things of Christ, we then increase in His perspective, and His perspective reflects the beauty of holiness.

Apostle Diane Swarthout Even as man's body was not designed to eat straw or garbage, so his soul was not designed to partake of false knowledge; for false knowledge weakens and injures the will by diverting it from God, and spoils faith and corrupts the soul. Only Grace and Truth nourish and heal the soul for increase with the increase of God.

Joshua DeRuiter Grace is the power of God to strengthen the will to choose faith.

Faith must be daily watered with Grace and Truth in order to increase the soul in the likeness of Christ.

Apostle Diane Swarthout Grace gives power for faith and truth gives substance for increase.

Casey Ringer “Grace is how God communicates to us. His communication is Jesus Christ. God communicates Christ so that the virtue that is in Him, can be in us which is by faith.”

Holly DeRuiter ?*When we in covenant offer spiritual sacrifices as an expression for faith we grow in the Grace of God.*

* We resist sin by submitting to His grace.*

Jordan Scott Through our application and submission to Grace; faith is drawn from the heart and the duplicity of the soul which was tethered to false indoctrination is removed. The Soul having been bruised, is brought out of darkness and into the light and life of truth by which we bear forth the substance of that which Christ has sanctified for increase.

Desiree La Pinta From Evangelist Zach:

Consistency with the tools is the rhythm of the Spirit.

When what is common to man is preached as doctrine, what is sanctified for faith is strange to the heart. The letter ensnares the proud but God gives grace to the humble.
Jané Odendaal The purging of the soul from the fruits of iniquity and the increase of the soul with the fruit of faith cannot take place appart from the power that God has provided in grace.
