Here are some inspirational methods to receive grace from God. These are some ways in which we can expect God to move to fulfill our needs.
- Do not show to God, that you are needy. Your very spirit would make known to Him your need, in His presence. Instead develop an attitude of service towards Him. Well what is the spirit? That's your inner being.
- When you ask God to 'do' a thing or a favour, He would definitely ask you to 'do' a thing. You have to understand that God doesn't need your money. Does God need money to manage things in heaven? Hence it needs patience to know what God needs.
- Be ready to receive a request from a saint of God. A person who serves God consciously is a saint. Also try to fulfill the needs of that saint.
- Always be ready to learn something. God has many things with Him, which can enable you to live differently.
- Be generous in your spirit. When somebody asks for a favour, try to do couple to them.
- Never get dismayed because of the delay.
- Trust His word, the Bible. What you learn from the Bible (which is correct), is your advantage. Depending on others is good, but never expect to be spoon-fed all the time.
- There are seasons in which spiritual forces operate. If Bill Gates invites you to have lunch with him and gives you the choice of the place where to eat, will you take him to a mess? Likewise if his gate-keeper asks you to take to lunch, will you take him to Hotel Chola? Likewise if you happen to go to a powerful church, would you offer what you give to a mediocre church?
- Glorify God openly. God likes you to pray secretly, worship openly.
