How do we receive God's blessings that are found in Christ?

Remember the old song, count your blessings name them one by one, thanking God for all He has done?

Blessed people are people who know their God and hear His voice and follow Him.

We receive God's blessing by grace. He bestows divine favor (grace) on those that are in Christ Jesus and follow Him.
When we have faith in Jesus Christ and walk in His love, blessings will follow us everywhere we go.

Blessings bring us happiness, in fact the word means, happy and to be envied.
Jesus gives us great joy, but our blessings give us happiness.

The abundant life.
Is not necessarily a lot of stuff, but surely, all the provision we will need. Life does not consist in the abundance of things.

Luke 12:15
And Jesus said to them, "Take heed and beware of covetousness, for one's life does not consist in the abundance of things he possesses.

Psalm 23:6 (Read all of 23, you probably know it by heart, but concentrate on each word) Starting with "The Lord Is my shepherd. I shall not want.

6.  Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me All the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

Goodness and mercy are all blessings in our life from the Lord.
(A promise from the word of God ) There are  3000 promises in God's word.  They are there to show us what blessings we have in the Lord.

Moses asked the Lord to show him His glory, and all God's goodness passed before Moses.

We see goodness as a virtue, but it is a blessing from the Lord.  Yes, it is also a virtue in that it is the very nature of God. He is good.

2Corinthians 9:8 (A blessing)
And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency for every good work.

Philippians 4:19 (A Blessing and promise)
And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

Psalm 138:7 (A blessing and a promise)
Though I walk in the midst of trouble, You will revive me; You stretch out Your hand Against the wrath of my enemies, And Your right hand will save me.

Jeremiah 17: 7-8 (Blessing and promise)
Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, And whose hope is the Lord. 
For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, which spreads out its roots by the river, And will not fear when heat comes;
But its leaf will be green And will not be anxious in the year of drought, Nor will cease from yielding fruit.

Beloved, we are so blessed of God, He has poured out on us every spiritual blessing as well as provided for our natural blessings. Like, food, shelter, clothing, and great relationships with those that are like minded. These all provide for us happiness. They make our heart glad.

We have so many blessings, all we have to do is look around. Be thankful to God for our great inheritance that we have in Jesus Christ.

Beloved, we are a blessed people, a new creation, we have never been before, now in Christ we are that new person, with the Lord's blessings in our life, all because we belong to Jesus.

So count your blessings, name them one by one, and praise God for all He has done and is doing.  Jesus Christ, the same, yesterday today and forever.

God Bless your day
Jesus loves you
Love in Jesus
Joy

DOES IT MATTER WHO PREACHES THE GOSPEL, AS LONG AS THE GOSPEL IS PREACHED?

 G O S P E L= GOD'S OWN SON PROVIDED ETERNAL LIFE. This is the true gospel,  the good news!! What are we to conclude about this matter? Paul makes it clear, that whoever preaches Christ and the gospel, it doesn't matter, as long as the Gospel gets preached. Philippians 1:15-16 Some indeed preach Christ even from envy and strife, and some also from goodwill.  The former preach Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my chains, but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the Gospel. What then? Only that in everyway, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached; and in this I rejoice, yes and will rejoice. Beloved, there are all kinds of preachers out there, but their motives are not our business. Those that are preaching for all the wrong reasons, could later repent, and start preaching for the right reasons.  We have seen this through the years. We are to listen for the truth of God's word. I h...

SCIENCE AND THE BIBLE.

Science proves that God's word has it right for sustaining our life. Science says, that we need   four basic elements to sustain life and survive. We need air, water, food, and light. We have it all in Jesus, if we have received Him as our Lord. Science is right. It has proven God's word is true. Acts 17:25 (Paul was speaking about the Unknown God to the men in Athens) Nor is He worshipped with men's hands, as though He needed anything, Since He gives to all life, breath, and all things. We need air in order to breathe. When we receive Jesus we have His breath, breathing through our lungs. When we breathe, we speak the name of God. Just speaking His name, we inhale YAH and exhale WEH.   YHWH means breath of life. Our Jewish brothers and sisters know the name of God means breath of God. This is an interesting fact that we believers need to know. We also need light. John 8:12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, "I am the light of the world; He who follows Me shall not walk...

JESUS IS NOT A GLORIFIED BUTLER, HE IS THE SON OF GOD.

SOME BELIEVERS THINK THAT JESUS IS A GLORIFIED BUTLER.  Whatever they ask for they will have, whether it is right or wrong. JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD!!  YOU ARE NOT TO COMMAND HIM,  YOU ARE TO ASK HIM, HONOR HIM, AND RESPECT HIM AND HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM.  I have heard some believers young in their faith and understanding, say that they have prayed for such a thing and God will give it to them. They are trusting in their faith, not their faith in God. (Works of the flesh, which is witchcraft) Witchcraft is attempting to manipulate your environment or circumstances. (SELF) Works of the flesh. Rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. (1Samuel 15:23) Galatians 5;19-20 NOW THE WORKS OF THE FLESH ARE EVIDENT, WHICH ARE: Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions , jealousies, outburst of wrath , selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, and revelries, ...
