Immersed in the Blessing pt2 – The Importance of the Blessing
Immersed pt2—The Importance of the Blessing
[Gal 3:13-14 NASB95]
Is the blessing a big deal? Jesus died so we can live in the blessing of God.
The fact that Jesus died so we can walk in the blessing makes it important.
What makes the blessing so important?
Here are four truths that make the blessing important.
The importance of the blessing starts with the removal of the curse.
The curse of the law is found in many places. One of those places is Deuteronomy 28.
The curse involves:
The Lord will be against them. V.20
Finances and materials. V.38-40
Defeat. V.25
Sickness. V.58-61
Family brokenness. V.53-57
The importance of the blessing gives us access to the blessing of Abraham.
The blessing of Abraham
Relationship with God. [Jas 2:23 NASB95]
Financial prosperity. [Gen 13:2 NASB95]
Victory over your enemies. [Gen 14:14-16 NASB95]
Physical healing. [Rom 4:17-21 NASB95]
Wholeness in family relationships. [Gen 17:7-9 NASB95]
The importance of the blessing results in us receiving the promise of the Spirit.
God wants to empower us with His Spirit.
This is fulfilled in two places:
Regeneration. [Jhn 20:22 NASB95]
Spirit baptism. [Act 2:1-4 NASB95]
God desires to be with us through His Spirit.
The importance of the blessing is accessed by faith.
Believe that God’s blessing on you makes you increase.
God desires for you to prosper. [Deu 8:18 NASB95]
Believe for increase.
Believe that God’s blessing on you is for the earth today. Gen. 1:26-28
Jesus affirmed it now. [Mat 6:10 NASB95]
Paul spoke of it now. [Rom 8:19 NASB95]
This earth has been given to us. [Psa 115:16 NASB95]
Start expecting the blessing to work while we occupy the earth.
Make this a daily confession.
[Heb 4:14 NASB95]
JFB: As the genitive follows, the literal, sense is, “Let us take hold of our profession,” that is, of the faith and hope which are subjects of our profession and confession.
Jesus, as High Priest, takes our confession before God. The Psalmist declared these things as a confession of faith.
Meditate on these truths.
[Psa 119:15 NASB95]
There is power when we meditate on truths from God’s Word.
March against the enemy with these truths.
[Eph 6:17 NASB95]
Word of God = rhema of God = a thing spoke…a promise… utterance
The Word coming out of your mouth is a weapon against the enemy.
The importance of the blessing is found in the fact that Jesus died so that by faith in Him, we can be redeemed from the curse, walk in the blessings like Abraham did, receive the Holy Spirit.
