THE BLESSING OF THE LORD !

THE BLESSING OF THE LORD ! During that time, He's taught me more about different parts of His Blessing. If you would notice there is no S on the in of blessing. The blessings, is different from the blessing; one refers to the things And the Blessing is referring to the Anointing. He's increased my revelation of the new birth and the salvation part of it. He's open my eyes more and more to the healing part of it, the peace that passes understanding part, and the gifts of the Spirit Part His showed me how His blessing can affect not only our own lives, or families and the church, but also our government and nation. He has put the pieces together for me, one at a time. That's how we develop and grow, you know----a little at a time. No one has ever learned anything advanced or complex all it once. It's a process of renewing your mind to the thoughts and ways of God. In spiritual things, just as in natural things, we must build one revelation on another. We move forward in our understanding, step-by-step, if we're going to get very far. If you doubt that, look at the history of the Church and I'm not talking about this altered version of Christianity. Every since the Dark ages, when the devil tried to strip The Church of her power and roared her our revelation by convincing ungodly leaders to lock up The Word in monasteries away from God's people or even the people that were outside of the body of Christ, the Lord has been restoring lost truths to us little by little. He started in Martin Luther's day by restoring the foundational truth of the new birth, "The just shall live by faith" (Romans 1:17). That truth came as a shock to people back in the 1500s. Religious leaders were enraged by it. Multitudes puzzled over whether or not to believe it. Yet today, the entire Evangelistic church takes that revelation for granted. We don't argue about it anymore. We know we are saved, not by our own works, but by simple faith in Jesus. After that revelation was restored, God began adding others. Through the Pentecostal movement that emerged in the early 1900s, for example, He took us on from the new birth and reintroduced that scriptural truth about the baptism in the Holy Spirit (Matthew 3:11). 40 years later, during the great healing revival, He restored the revelation of divine healing (1 Peter 2:24). During the charismatic movement in the 1960s, the ad revelation about the gifts of the Spirit (1 Corinthians 12:4 through 10). It the and of that decade, He taught us about the power and integrity of His written Word and how to operate by faith in that Word (Hebrews 4:12; Mark 11:23-24). Here's my point: God didn't pour out those revelations on the Church all at once. They were always there, But He restored them one by one. And for the most part, many dear people still struggle to believe God's Word they believe their natural fire sensors to be truth, it may be a fact that you are sick, or broke, but that is not the truth. My Bible tells us let God be true and every man a liar. That's the way He always works, both with His body as a whole, and with us as individual believers. He develops us a little at a time, of course with our cooperation. God will not come against the human will. He takes us, as the Bible said, "from faith to faith" and from "glory to glory" (Romans 1:17;2 Corinthians 3:18). We must never forget that. While we guard as precious, the things God has already revealed to us in His Word, we must Always Remember There Are Things in the Word we have not yet seen. There are scriptural truths we have not yet learned. There are biblical revelation we have not yet received. God isn't finished with us yet. When we forget this fact, we get stuck. For the most part there are many people who are stuck in the genetically altered Christianity. They start thinking our group (or denomination) knows all that is to know. They set up camp around the last revelation they received and refused to go any further. Believers have done that again and again. Years ago, some group grabbed hold of the truth about the new birth and blessed multitudes of people by teaching them how to get saved by faith. But when anyone tried to tell them about the baptism in the Holy Spirit and speaking in tongues, they slam their doors on that revelation. "No, we're not having any of that around here !" They said. "We have the new birth, and that's all we need." Some of the Holy Spirit baptized believers made the same mistake. Many precious people think, when they got born again they receive the Holy Spirit baptism as well. That is the furthest thing from the truth ! When God sent someone to teach them about receiving and financial provision by faith, they would have none of it. They close their minds to scriptural truth and said, "Bible or no Bible, that's not what Grandma taught or that's not what my denomination teaches, I'm not going to believe it." Don't get me wrong. I'm not picking on those groups of believers. I love them and believe with all owe them a debt of gratitude for the truths they've help restored to the body of Christ. But, I also realize we should learn from each other's mistakes. We must recognize and overcome our carnal tendenciey to resist new revelation. We must see that what we have learned is not a campground. It's a building base. We must understand this if we want to go on and grow up, as the Bible says, into "the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ" (Ephesians 4: 13).
