Ref. DLG 6 : Functions of Grace

''  But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.'' Ephesians 4:7 The child of God has been endowed with grace to function God's kingdom .There are some things that a child of a God can do only  by grace . This means that we do those things by the grace of God , the ability of the spirit is given to us so that we can do all things that God requires from us . That is why Philippians 4:13 says .'' I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.  ''  The strength that we have to do all the things God wants us is to do is by grace .

The functions of grace in us are singing ; through grace we can sing in the spirit and worship God in melodious songs . Another function of grace is prayer ;  through grace we are able to pray as never before and the spirit empowers us to do so as Romans 8:26                       ''Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.'' 

Other functions of grace include a life of righteousness ; the spirit helps us to live right and do the righteous acts that God expects from us .Furthermore , we have such as healing , deliverance , prophesying and the like ; all these are prompted and acted by the grace of God upon our lives . '' Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;7 Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching;8 Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness. '' Romans 12:6-8

More functions of grace in us , for us and through us including , ministering in the house of God , teaching the word , exhortation gift  { motivational preachers } , giving to the needy , leading a group , team , department or a local church is also a function of grace .''But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. '' 1 Corinthians 12:7   The grace brings a strong manifestation of God's power unto our lives , then we are able to function supernaturally under the grace of God .''
