Grace: the Prophecy of Deliverance

by Natasha R. Bailey

Overview

As a society, we see grace as a permission to further our own agendas, in one-dimensional terms, or simply what Jesus has extended.
Natasha R. Bailey, who has worked in ministry more than twenty years, challenges those views in this book that explores the many misconceptions we have about grace. She presents grace as a calculated, collective, illustrative plan from the mind of God to His people. She answers questions such as:
What are the three levels of grace?
How can grace help you find clarity and renewed hope?
How can you liberate yourself from anxiety, depression, and heaviness?
Can you really live a life of answered prayers?
Is it possible to develop a greater intimacy with the Lord?
The author also highlights what Jesus did for humanity in paying the penalty of everyone’s sin. He paid what we owed so that all accounts and charges could be settled or waived. Now we must live out the encapsulated aspects of grace that illustrate recompense through the work of repentance.
Join the author as she explores the true meaning of grace and discover how it can help you move toward a greater level of freedom.

A minister provides a guide to entering God’s kingdom.

The Hebrew Bible—and the Christian Old Testament—contains prophetic visions of the end of the world and the establishment of God’s rule on Earth. In the New Testament, prophecies ratify Jesus as the king who will usher in this never-ending kingdom. In this slender volume, a Christian minister shares her interpretation of these teachings. Bailey establishes her authority by asserting that those “entering into the grace of God” must “handle sensitive information,” and this gets at the heart of her work. For the author, the “sensitive information” encoded in the Bible can be teased out by close reading, and as the title suggests, the concept of grace is her throughline. As she analyzes texts written in Hebrew and Greek, she is keenly attentive to the ways in which a translator’s choices can alter meaning—and the ways in which considering alternative translations can illuminate the material. She also brings her own interpretations of words that are significant to her. Here, for example, the word scrolldenotes something more than a rolled piece of parchment used for all sorts of communication and record-keeping in antiquity. For Bailey, the Book of Daniel “communicates the advancement from a simple rolled material that was constructed from plant papyrus to a record regarding legislative accounts of eternal glory.” There is some lovely imagery here. The author compares God sitting on “the throne of grace” in the Bible to a mother bird warming her eggs in a nest. She also describes grace as “a prototype of eternity” and faith as “the garment of impossibility.” And although she never mentions St. Augustine, Bailey’s meditations on the relationship between grace and time provide a captivating complement to the writings of Christianity’s remarkable and influential theologian. It’s worth noting that this is not a book for newcomers to Christian exegesis. In addition to being well versed in the Bible, readers should be prepared to navigate ornate—and occasionally convoluted—prose that sometimes makes Bailey’s message a bit difficult to discern.

An intriguing work that offers much to contemplate for those seeking to understand Christian prophecies.
