BLESSINGS

Blessings:: If you have a Bible, follow along

Deut 28 1-4 speaks on Gods blessing us when were are obedient. It says if ur diligent, God will place us above all nations. God never runs out of blessings, He seems to be running out of people to bless. There are conditional blessing that He has for those who are faithful. When u are faithful, the blessing will overtake you. You won't have to look for them. Gods blessing will come and find you when ur ready you be blessed. He just wants us to be prepared for our blessings. Verse 7 explains that God will conquer your enemies when they attack you. He will make your enemies your footstool. He will COMMAND blessings to u and the land that u inhabit. Whatsoever God commands, it WILL happen. God said that whatever u touch He will increase, so watch what you touch, bc if you touch evil, he will increase that in your life. Continue to walk in His way and people will not only be afraid of you but WHO is behind you. When God blesses you, man can not explain it, and people not of God will begin to be scared of what He can and will do. God will open up his treasures to you. Treasures aren't always money. He might provide a diamond of JOY, or a pearl of Peace or a ruby of REST. Whatever u need God will open up his treasure of blessing for those who are obedient.

Verse 13 states that He will make u the Head and not the Tail, He will make you the Lender and not the borrower.. IF u obey. If ur not in His will, you can't hear His voice. If you can't hear His voice then u can't heed to His directions. Don't be content with being a borrower. Listen to God, follow His direction bc He will bless you and the place wherever He leads you. 1 Peter 5:8 will tell you what's stopping you from your blessings. The devil is walking around as a roaring lion waiting to devour us. A lion will roar to confuse its prey to see who is the weakest and then use that against them. Satan will watch you to find out what ur weakness is so that you can miss your blessings. He will place people in your life just to defeat you. We are making it easier for the Devil to get to us by all of this exposure we are doing. All the info we release (via phn conversations, twitter, facebook etc) is just making it that much easier for the Devil to overwhelm us with temptation.

Galatians 5 , 1 John 2:16 will show u that the devil will use lust of the flesh and possessions to block us from blessings. Eve wasn't satisfied with her own trees, she had to have the one she wasn't supposed to. You can never satisfy the flesh. Satan will make you feel like what u have is not enough. Pride of life is also another ploy of the Devil. He will try to make ur flesh want more than what ur spiritual mind needs. Our problem ultimately is not the devil, it is that we are out of control. We have no temperance, which is restraining for you flesh's desires, ie: having self control. God says the reason why My people are not being blessed is because we have no self control. We are taking everything the devil is giving us. Your blessings are linked to your self control. You're not being blessed bc your not in control of your life.

To gain control back, you need to do some things. 1st, be forgiven. When you ask for forgiveness you have to actually face who you are. We hide behind issues, and you have to come clean with all of YOUR issues. U can't blame no one.
2nd, you have to forgive others. The Devil will hold you back with holding on to things in your heart that you have to let go.
3rd, we must forgive ourselves. If God has moved you from something, you can't keep bringing it up. When u don't forgive yourself, ur acting as if your better than God. Lastly, don't use ur spirituality to hide behind. Phrases like "God loves me anyways" and "I'm already forgiven" will have you thinking that u don't have to ask forgiveness for your actions.
