Awakened to Deliver — Living in the Revelation of His Name

Week 26 — God as Covenant-Keeper Day 1 – The God Who Makes Covenant

Key Verse: Genesis 17:7 (WEBUS)

“I will establish my covenant between me and you and your offspring after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God to you and to your offspring after you.”

⸻

Episode Highlights

• A covenant in Scripture is more than a contract. It reveals God’s heart to bind Himself to His promises.

• God is the One who initiates covenant. He moves toward His people first.

• In Genesis 15, God alone passes between the covenant pieces, showing that His faithfulness secures the promise.

• Abram was counted righteous by faith before circumcision and before the law.

• In Genesis 17, God repeatedly says, “I will,” showing that covenant begins with His grace and power.

• God’s covenant promises shape identity, which is seen when Abram becomes Abraham.

• Throughout Scripture, God is the One who seeks, calls, remembers, and rescues His people.

• Salvation reflects this same truth: God moved toward us in Christ while we were still sinners.

• Obedience does not earn covenant relationship. It is the fruit of faith in the God who first pursued us.

⸻

Scriptures to Reflect On

• Genesis 15:1–6 – God promises Abram descendants, and Abram believes by faith.

• Genesis 15:17–18 – God alone passes between the covenant pieces.

• Genesis 17:1–7 – God establishes His covenant with Abraham as an everlasting covenant.

• Genesis 3:9 – God seeks Adam after the fall.

• Exodus 2:24 – God remembers His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

• Romans 5:8 – God demonstrates His love while we were still sinners.

• Ephesians 2:8–9 – Salvation is by grace through faith, not by works.

⸻

Takeaway Thought

The story of covenant begins with God’s initiative, not ours.

We do not persuade God to care for us. He is the One who speaks, promises, pursues, and provides.

The God who makes covenant is the God who moves toward sinners with grace and invites them into relationship through Jesus Christ.

⸻

Episode Highlights

• The Christian life is not dead religion but resurrection life through Jesus Christ.

• Romans 1:4 connects the Spirit of Holiness with the resurrection of Christ.

• Titus 3:4–7 shows that salvation comes through mercy, regeneration, and renewal by the Holy Spirit.

• The Spirit’s ministry is always Christ-centered. He glorifies Jesus and leads believers into deeper fellowship with Him.

• Because the Spirit dwells within believers, there is grace for weakness, power for obedience, and hope for every battle.

⸻

Scriptures to Reflect On

• Romans 8:11 – The Spirit who raised Jesus will also give life to our mortal bodies.

• Romans 1:4 – Jesus was declared the Son of God with power according to the Spirit of Holiness.

Awakened to Deliver – The Spirit of Grace and Holiness Day 4 – Grace for the Battle Against Compromise

Key Verse: 1 Corinthians 6:19–20 (WEBUS)

“Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.”

⸻

Episode Highlights

• The Spirit of Grace and Holiness empowers believers to reject compromise and live in obedience to Christ.

• Grace does not excuse sin. Grace teaches us to deny ungodliness and worldly lusts.

• Paul reminds believers that their bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit and that they belong to God.

• “You are not your own” is a powerful reminder that Christians have been bought with the blood of Jesus.

• Compromise is dangerous because it grieves the Holy Spirit and weakens our fellowship with God.

• The Spirit lovingly warns us before small compromises become deeper strongholds.

• Holiness is not legalism, and obedience is not self-effort. God’s grace supplies the strength to obey.

• The Spirit helps believers flee temptation, set wise boundaries, and walk in wisdom rather than fleshly desire.

• True freedom is found in surrender to Christ, not in following the world’s idea of self-rule.

⸻

• Titus 2:11–12 – Grace teaches us to deny ungodliness and live godly lives.

⸻

Takeaway Thought

The Spirit of Grace does not leave us comfortable in compromise.

He reminds us that we belong to Christ, convicts us when we drift, and gives us strength to walk in holiness.

You were bought with a price, and God’s grace is enough to help you live like you belong to Him.

Awakened to Deliver – Season 2 – The Names / Titles of the Holy Spirit Week 25 – The Spirit of Grace and Holiness Day 3 - The Spirit Who Sanctifies the Believer

Key Verse: 2 Thessalonians 2:13 (WEBUS)

“But we are bound to always give thanks to God for you, brothers loved by the Lord, because God chose you from the beginning for salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief in the truth.”

⸻

Episode Highlights

• Salvation is not only about forgiveness—it is also about transformation.

• Sanctification is the ongoing work of the Holy Spirit in the believer’s life.

• The Spirit of Grace and Holiness does not save us and then leave us unchanged.

• He teaches us, corrects us, comforts us, strengthens us, and forms the character of Christ within us.

• Spiritual growth is not accomplished by human effort alone, but by learning to walk by the Spirit.

• Galatians 5 shows the conflict between the flesh and the Spirit in every believer.

• The presence of that battle is often evidence that the Spirit is at work, creating new desires for righteousness.

• The fruit of the Spirit reflects the character of Jesus: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.

• Sanctification is usually gradual. God’s grace is patient, and growth often unfolds over time.

• The God who begins the work of sanctification is faithful to complete it.

⸻

⸻

Takeaway Thought

God does not merely pardon sinners—He transforms them.

Sanctification is not about trying harder in your own strength. It is about yielding to the Holy Spirit as He makes you more like Jesus, one surrendered step at a time.

Awakened to Deliver – Season 2 – The Names / Titles of the Holy Spirit Week 25 – The Spirit of Grace and Holiness Day 2 - The Spirit Who Convicts and Restores

Key Verse: John 16:8 (WEBUS)

“When he has come, he will convict the world about sin, about righteousness, and about judgment.”

⸻

Episode Highlights

• Conviction is one of the loving ministries of the Holy Spirit.

• The Spirit of Grace and Holiness exposes sin, not to condemn us, but to restore us.

• Conviction and condemnation are not the same thing.

• Condemnation pushes people away from God, but conviction draws them back to Him.

• The Holy Spirit reveals sin so that repentance and healing can begin.

• Godly sorrow produces repentance, while worldly sorrow leads to despair.

• The story of David shows that conviction is meant to lead to confession, humility, and restoration.

• The Spirit does not expose sin to shame believers, but to bring them back into the light.

• Resistance to conviction leads to hardness, but humility before God leads to renewal.

• Confession and repentance are not signs that grace has failed—they are evidence that grace is at work.

⸻

Scriptures to Reflect On

• John 16:7–8 – The Holy Spirit convicts the world.

• Romans 8:1 – There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ.

• 2 Corinthians 7:10 – Godly sorrow produces repentance.

• Psalm 51:10–11 – David’s prayer after conviction and repentance.

• Psalm 139:23–24 – Ask God to search the heart.

• 1 John 1:9 – Confession brings forgiveness and cleansing.

⸻

Takeaway Thought

Conviction is not the opposite of grace.

It is one of grace’s most beautiful expressions, because God loves us too much to leave us comfortable in what is destroying us. The Spirit convicts so that we may repent, be restored, and walk closely with Jesus again.

⸻

Episode Highlights

• Grace and holiness are not opposites—God’s grace produces holiness.

• The Holy Spirit is both the Spirit of Grace and the Spirit of Holiness.

• Biblical grace is not permission to remain in sin; it teaches us to deny ungodliness.

• We are not saved by good works, but we are saved for good works.

• God’s holiness is not lowered by grace; grace brings us into right relationship with a holy God through Jesus Christ.

• Jesus perfectly reveals both grace and truth.

• The same Spirit who forgives believers also transforms them.

• Holiness begins with God’s character and is produced in us through the work of the Holy Spirit.
