Blessed

It has been said many ways, so one more will not hurt. We seek God to give us....whatever the case may be. I have said over again and again, it is a “heart thing.” The Lord wants our hearts. Time and again people have told me, they have given their hearts to God. I understood, yet some did not fully get what I was trying to say. Not their fault, mine. It has been my inability to share completely what I meant. Lord willing until now. I am Blessed! I am Blessed coming in and going out. Deut. 28:6 You will be blessed when you come and blessed when you go. Another way of saying it Ps. 121:8 The LORD keeps watch over you as you come and go, both now and forever. Does this mean my wallet is full? Does this mean no bad will ever again come my way? These two questions and others like them, are the point I am trying to convey. They do not matter! Yes, we have to live in this world. However, we are not of this world. 1Cor 2:12 And we have received God's Spirit (not the world's spirit), so we can know the wonderful things God has freely given us. Our Joy is not based on things of this world. They cannot nor ever be understood under the laws of this world. Let me return to a “heart thing.” As we say we have given our hearts to Jesus. We do not need to try and convince ourselves or others, that we are Blessed. Eph 1:3 Praise the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! Through Christ, God has blessed us with every spiritual blessing that heaven has to offer. Gal 3:9 So all who put their faith in Christ share the same blessing Abraham received because of his faith. So the Truth is in the Word of God. Again and again we are told that we are Blessed. We Must stretch out our Faith and Believe in the Word of God. Yes, we can look at our circumstances, and see what we saw 5 min. ago. Just as the Word explains, it takes no faith or hope to see what we already have. Or, in this case the lack of whatever we are believing for. It is one of our opportunities, to show our advantage and express our freedom, by receiving favor as Children given the Promise of being Blessed. Based on the Word of God, not any other evidence. The difficulties are based on us, and the choices we make. Remember, do not allow the enemy any foothold, do not embrace any condemnation. Only work towards the goal which is set before you. Put forth the faith given you, and receive All the Blessings that are clearly yours spoken of in the Word of God. To have the attitude in your heart, That you are Blessed. Instead of, waiting for the physical to some how prove the Word of God to be True!
