'ANOINTING DEPOSIT' FOR 4 16 03 
from LIVING TODAY SERIES
Part 4a ..'THE BLESSING'
ROADBLOCKS OR HINDRANCES
(Revised from 11/29/01,10/29/02) 

DEFINITION of BLESSING:
God's FAVOR or 
EMPOWERMENT to SUCCESS. (Invisible force)
Example: Wind.. What is the wind?
Seeing the trees move or sway!
Seeing a piece of paper moving up street!
NO, these are 'EFFECTS' of the wind
The wind is a INVISIBLE force just as :
The BLESSING IS INVISIBLE..

PSALMS 129:8."The Blessing of the Lord be upon YOU." 

DEUTERONOMY 27:18..
"I set before YOU a BLESSING and a curse"

WHAT Are SOME of the ROADBLOCKS OR HINDRANCES
TO RECEIVING THE BLESSING?


#1. The most obvious ROADBLOCK is: 
Satan or devil and demonic forces

1 PETER 5:8.." be cautious at all times;
for the enemy of yours, the devil,
roams around like a lion seeking 
SOMEONE to seize or devour."

Note: YOUR Rights and Benefits can be TAKEN
from you by things YOU MAY NOT 
Completely or Fully UNDERSTAND. 
The enemy seeks someone..Who is the SOMEONE???
One who UNDERSTANDS NOT..

LOGIC or IGNORANCE VS. WISDOM OF GOD
Your understanding verses the wisdom of God!!

BY THE WAY, in case you're NOT aware, 
you HAVE an Enemy.

2 CORINTHIANS 4:4.." the god of this world
(Satan or devil)
has BLINDED the unbelievers' MINDS
(that they can't discern THE truth)
preventing them from SEEING the 
ILLUMINATING LIGHT of the gospel of Christ."

JOHN 8:44.."he(devil)is a Liar and father of lies."

WHAT 'TRUTHS' IN PARTICULAR is Satan trying to:
LIE ABOUT/CONFUSE/ OR STEAL FROM YOU??? 
#1. JESUS HAS WON THE BATTLE 2,000 YEARS AGO.
Satan roars but has no power
because he has lost
he is defeated..
Satan was kicked out of heaven and
soon will be removed from earth.
#2. BORN AGAIN BELIEVERS HAVE:
VICTORY OVER SATAN'S SCHEMES.
(THEIR POWER SOURCE IS IN JESUS CHRIST). 

#3. BORN AGAIN BELIEVERS HAVE: 
A LIGHT TO FOLLOW
(THE HOLY SPIRIT: inside every believer) 

EPHESIANS 1:3. "May blessing be to
the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ
(The Messiah) WHO has Blessed us in Christ 
with EVERY Spiritual Blessing
(given by the Holy Spirit)
IN Heavenly Places."

Note: The SECRET is :
ALL YOU__________________ (place your name here)
need is already There for YOU.. 
IT'S A GIFT.. IT'S FREE..


#2. The second but less obvious ROADBLOCK is:
TRADITION..
MARK 7:13.." Thus YOU nullify the word of God
by your TRADITION, that you have handed down."

Note: Here your rights are TAKEN from you 
by what you seem to already understand.
but maybe DON'T..
WHAT IS TRADITION (Some examples)
#1. I've done this for 20 years :
it must be the truth..
I'm real comfortable and won't change.
#2. My parents, friends, denomination says 
'that' is truth, so it must be true..
Why change and risk what I have now.
Why rock the boat...
#3. I could never do that..
I could never have that..
I could never live there..
I could never be debt free..
I could never be healed.. 
I never will deserve to be or have that.
How could I become that?

EPHESIANS 3:6.."This mystery is that through
the gospel the Gentiles (YOU) are
HEIRS
with ISRAEL, members TOGETHER of one body,
and SHARES together in the PROMISE in
Jesus Christ."

WHAT ARE YOU PROMISED?                                        WHAT IS YOUR INHERITANCE?
WHAT QUALIFIES YOU FOR THESE RIGHTS?


7 PARTS OF GOD'S COVENANT WITH ABRAHAM!!

http://www.illuminations4u.org/fft/41403.html

READ: GENESIS 12:2     John 8:33      PSALMS 82:6
THE ABRAHAMIC COVENANT!!!
Follow the inheritance line:
ABRAHAM...ISAAC...JACOB..JOSEPH..JESUS....
YOU (If you've accepted Jesus) 
(YES , YOU if you will RECEIVE IT..) 

JOHN 8:33.."WE are
descendant's of Abraham."

Note:
YOU MUST RECEIVE THE BLESSING FOR YOURSELF.

COULD THERE BE RIGHTS YOU'RE NOT EVEN AWARE OF? 

WHAT RIGHTS HAVE YOU NOT ACCEPTED?

WHAT RIGHTS ARE YOU NOT ALLOWING YOURSELF TO ENJOY?

ARE YOU EXPERIENCING THE ABUNDANT LIFE?

ARE YOU HARVESTING OR JUST STANDING STILL? 

WHAT HAVE YOU ACCEPTED OR TOLERATED ,
THAT YOUR INNER MAN KEEPS NAGGING YOU ABOUT? 

WHAT DO YOU NEED TO CHANGE?

OPEN YOUR MIND AND 
RENEW YOUR MIND..STARTING TODAY..NOW..

2 CORN.4: 16.." Our inner man is being 
RENEWED day by day (progressively)
