The Blessing is Working in Me!

The Blessing is Working in Me!

Man, that just feels good to say. “The Blessing is working in me!” Now, to fully grasp the depth of that statement, we need to understand what The Blessing is. Now, someone may say, “Man, that car was such a blessing.” Well, the car is a result of The Blessing, but it isn’t The Blessing. To understand this, let’s go back to Genesis 1:26-28.

“26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.” (Emphasis Mine)

So, we see that God Blessed Adam and Eve. So then, this Blessing should be the ultimate blessing. God tells them to be fruitful-always producing, multiply-always increase, replenish-always fill and refill, and to subdue-always control your environment or your environment will control you. So, this Blessing that God pronounced on Adam and Eve represents His perfect will for all men for all time. How do I know that? Well, God’s first words to man represented His will for the entire species. This Blessing was designed to turn wherever Adam went into the Garden of Eden. How do I know that? Well, the Bible gives us the dimensions of the Garden, it is located in the country we now know as Iraq. So, the rest of the earth didn’t have anything happening, it was not the Garden. Adams job was to take that Blessing, and turn the earth into the Garden of Eden! Hallelujah!

Unfortunately, Adam was stupid, and sinned his Blessing rights away, and turned the earth over to the Devil (the Bible calls Satan “the god of this world”). The rest of the Bible is God trying to get the Blessing back in the earth. He tries with Noah and his sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Now, Ham and Japheth did the same thing Adam did, and sinned it away, but Shem, he kept the covenant of the Blessing. In fact, Hebrew history tells us that Shem was Melchizedek, the king, or Lord-Mayor of Jerusalem, and head of the school of the prophets. Melchizedek was the one who blessed Abram, and kept the Blessing going on the earth! We see the promises of this blessing covenant written out in Deuteronomy 28, as well as the curses for disobedience. But, the obedient are promised to be blessed in the city, and blessed in the field. The head and not the tail. Above only, and never beneath. Able to be a lender, not a borrower.

So, this is the Blessing that the Israelites were supposed to operate in. When Jesus came to the earth, He came to bring the Blessing to all the rest of us! You don’t believe me? Look at Galatians 3:13-14. “13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
 14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.” So, this why Christ came, and hung on the cross! So that the Blessing of Abraham (which we have established was the same blessing pronounced upon Adam) could come on everyone else in the earth, so that we could enter into a blood covenant with the Almighty God, and become family. You may be thinking, “I thought Jesus died so I could be saved.” He did, it’s part of the Blessing. The Blessing is based on that blood covenant with God, by which, Jesus brought us into right standing with the Father.

So, the question now is, what does The Blessing mean in my life and in your life? To put it simply, quite a lot. This means that you can live your life free from sickness and disease, for it is a part of the curse, which you have been redeemed from. You can live your life free from financial lack, because that too, is under the curse, and you have been redeemed from the curse. God wants you to live your life to the fullest, to be blessed, and to prosper. How can I be a blessing to the people around me if I am not blessed? If someone can’t make their mortgage payment, and will lose their house, a hug won’t do much good. But, if I am prosperous and blessed, I can write them a check, and tell them not to even worry about paying me back. (To do so would be to hurt a poor man, and that doesn’t sit well with God.)
I guess the point I am trying to make is that I need to learn to walk in The Blessing (as do you) so that we can be a blessing to the people around us. How much of a blessing would it be to pay someone’s car off for them, when they have been struggling to pay it off? And then, when they ask them how I was able to do that, in the recession that is going on, tell them that it is the God I serve, and He has blessed me more that I could ever hope or dream. That would pull people into the kingdom: people seeing a powerful God who is on their side, who want them to succeed, so they can also be a blessing!

Wow, I didn’t expect to get into all that. In all honesty, I was expecting a quick post, and then heading off to bed. But I just preached myself happy! Amen! Remember, the Blessing is working in you! The Blessing is working in me! The Blessing is an enablement of God’s ability on my life to supernaturally succeed, and be able to bless other people! Hallelujah! The Blessing is working in me!
