THE BLESSING OF THE LORD !

THE BLESSING OF THE LORD ! In addition to reading and studying the Bible, I also would listen to the word of God at night and in the mornings I said it next to my bed at night so I could go to sleep listening to the word of faith being preached. I got up in the morning, turned the recorder back on and listen to the tapes again. I said eight And Drove with the Word being preached to me the whole time. It was the end that the reality of what God has done for us through the plan of redemption begin to dawn on me. As I listen to messages about the new covenant, and poured over scriptures like (Galatians 3:9) that tells how we, by faith, are "Blessed with faithful Abraham," I got my first glimpse of The Blessing and it sent shockwaves through my spirit. For the first time ever, I realize that truly: Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Curse is everyone that hangeth on a tree: that the Blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might we see the promise of the Spirit through faith. . . And if you be Christ's, then all you Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise (verse 13-14 through 29). The data actually grasp what those verses were saying, it hit me like a freight train coming through a tunnel: I the seed of Abraham ! I am the product of a blood sworn oath, a covenant cut between God and His firstborn Son. The Lord Jesus Christ is my blood Brother ! Because of my African and Indian background, I knew something about blood covenants. I knew how real and serious they are, so it didn't take me long to realize that as a blood covenant heir of Abraham, everything God promised him belongs to me. I didn't know for sure all that included, but I was smart enough to know that he and his family prospered everywhere they went. There wasn't a poor man among them. Everyone of them was rich. Even my lightning fast mind could figure out what that meant. Glory to God, I am not poor anymore ! I went to bed that night a wealthy man. It didn't matter to me that I was still in debt. I didn't care that on the outside my circumstances hadn't yet changed. What matter was changed that had taken place on the inside. Finally after years of thinking like a poor man, the spirit of adoption was crying out within me: I have a blood covenant with Almighty God ! I have a heavenly Father and He's rich and He's powerful, and He is backing me as surely as He backed Abraham--- as surely as He backed Jesus Himself ! I'm not under a financial curse anymore. I'm Blessed With Every Spiritual Blessing in heavenly places. Because I'm the righteousness of God in Christ, The Blessing of Abraham is mine ! I no longer have the mentality of a poor man. In a matter of days that mindset was gone. In its place was the realization that I am Blessed ! 11 months later, the mountain of debt that once towered over me was gone. Everything of it was paid, and I promise Lord I will never borrowed money again. That wasn't always an easy promise to keep. By then, the Lord had made it clear to me that in addition to operating debt free, I was never to ask anyone for money. You receive offerings according to the Scripture, He Said, but don't ever put pressure on people. Put pressure on My Word instead Put Pressure on the Blessing of Abraham that's yours in Christ and it will bring in what you need. Many dear ministers and people use (Malachi 3: 7 through 15) to put pressure on people, but if you really studied and meditate over these Scripture you will find that they are a divine law of God. It is the same law that is recorded in chapters 8, 9, 10: of (2 Corinthians). I make no apologies for preaching about the prosperity that's included in The Blessing. I was overjoyed back in 1982 find out that, as a believer, I been set free from the lack, and I still elated about it today. But I also realize that being Blessed includes far more than having money. Financial prosperity is only one small portion of the Blessing. It's one of the first parts God revealed to me, but it wasn't the only part. In fact, the Lord has been expanding my understanding of what it means to be Blessed, for about two decades now. Many of the precious people of God opposes the prosperity message, because of ignorance and a lack of knowledge ! Salvation is not just getting saved to die and go to heaven; it also includes being delivered, from the power of the devil; being healed, for whatever the devil has tried to put on your body; salvation is also healing and making your mind sound in the knowledge of God. Revelation knowledge is more important than just knowledge.
