from LIVING TODAY SERIES
Part 4B..'THE BLESSING'
ROADBLOCKS OR HINDRANCES
(CONTINUED)
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.FIRST (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."
JOHN 8:44.."he(devil)is a Liar and father of lies."
#2.SECOND(less obvious) ROADBLOCK is:
TRADITION..
MARK 7:13.." Thus YOU nullify the word of God
by your TRADITION, that you have handed down."
2 CORN.4: 16.." Our inner man is being
RENEWED day by day(progressively)
-----------------------------------------------
#3. THIRD ROADBLOCK IS:
NOT FORGETTING THE PAST!!
Past mistakes or choices!!
ROMANS 8: 1.."There is NO CONDEMNATION to
THEM( that's you) which are in Christ Jesus,
who walk not after the flesh, but after
THE SPIRIT."
PHILIPPIANS 3:13(nas)"BRETHERN(that's you again)
I don't regard myself as having laid hold
of it yet; but one thing I do know:
FORGETTING WHAT LIES BEHIND AND REACHING
FORWARD TO WHAT LIES AHEAD.."
HOW CAN YOU FORGET THE PAST??
#1. DON'T JUDGE YOURSELF for Outcome of Past Choices
which may cause YOU to be:
a. PREOCCUPIED with things I DON'T have..
SOLUTION:
Focus on what you DO HAVE and work from there
Be Honest with yourself of where you are TODAY
and move toward making better choices.
What seeds do you have to plant???
TITHE(10% of 100% of God's money),
SPENDING more time with things of God,
SERVING others with Your specific Gift!!
ARE YOU PLANTING THESE SEEDS??
LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE!!
b. UNFRUITFUL or unproductive POTENTIAL
SOLUTION:
Learn your rights as an heir to the Abraham.
JOHN 8:33.."WE are descendant's of Abraham."
READ: GENESIS 12:2 ; John 8:33; PSALMS 82:6
Follow the inheritance line:
ABRAHAM...ISAAC...JACOB..JOSEPH..JESUS....
YOU (If you've accepted Jesus)
(YES , YOU if you will RECEIVE IT..)
Realize the vast potential in YOU:
God is placed inside you: The Holy Spirit!!
(All truth and wisdom)
Understand that God has a Specific Plan for your
life( a specific destiny) that only You
can fulfill.
Your SPECIAL and ONE of a kind!
c. MAY Cause you to live YOUR Present
TRAPPED by the past..
Frustrated, depressed, and defeated.
SOLUTION:
Realize that your FUTURE is dictated by the
PRESENT(present choices)not just past choices!
Same choices same results!!
Different choices different results!!!
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."
#2. Don't Forget your PAST state entirely!
BUT Remember the PAST with a testimony!!!
WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNED???
PHILIPPIANS 4: 12,13
" I know what it is to be in need and
I know what it is to have plenty.
I have learned the SECRET of being CONTENT
in any and EVERY situation.
I CAN DO EVERYTHING THROUGH HIM( JESUS)
GIVES ME STRENGTH."
Note: This is NOT saying to just accept
being in Need or LACK but accept that
through Jesus you can have ABUNDANCE!!
(Total Prosperity and Heaven on Earth)
Remember that in every state You will grow and
develop: WHAT??
Your Faith, Trust and Belief in Jesus.
BECOMING!!! RECEIVING YOUR INHERITANCE!!!
God will be GLORIFIED ALWAYS
while your in the trial(Your faith)
while your going through trial
(Your strength and preseverance)
when you've come through the trial
(God is the victor and gets the GLORY!!)
Realize that during all these stages:
YOUR being OBSERVED by others!!
Others can gain strength, belief and trust
in Jesus from you.
REALIZE THAT God's GRACE is sufficient!!!
RECEIVE YOUR RIGHTS!!!
SUMMARY: FORGET THE PAST!!!
DON'T LET THE PAST BLOCK YOUR BLESSING.
WE PRAY THE FOLLOWING PRAYER TODAY:
TO RESOLVE IN OUR HEARTS TO FORGET THE PAST....

I STAND BEHIND HIS(JESUS'S) RIGHTEOUSNESS
I RECEIVE THIS GIFT TODAY:
IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST(I AM)
AMEN..
BEWARE:
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."
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."
LOGIC or IGNORANCE VS. WISDOM OF GOD
Your understanding
verses the wisdom of God!!
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."
