By Grace Through Faith
SERIES FOUNDATION STATEMENT: Grace and faith
is the system by which Heaven and Earth do business. Money is the currency in the world and
the buyer gives money to the seller and in exchange the seller gives the buyer
worldly goods. In the same manner
faith is the currency of Heaven.
The believer gives faith to God and in exchange God by grace gives the
believer Heavenly goods to be experienced in the Earth in exchange for the
Heavenly currency called Faith. You exchange the currency of the world for the
goods of the worlds; you exchange the currency of the Kingdom for the goods of
the Kingdom. Grace and faith is the system by which the believer experience
Heaven on Earth.
