I thought I would start out with a new salutation because when we are Children of God, He tells us that we are already blessed (Eph 1:3). We don't speak Words of Life because we are living the blessed life, we need to speak the Life of His Word into existence so we will live the Blessed Life He came to give us. I don't just believe that people live the blessed life by chance, but when we start speaking the blessings of the Life of Gods Word over our lives, it does in fact come to pass. His Word tells us in Rom 4:17 to speak non-existent things as though they have already existed. In other words, we can't afford to speak about our present circumstances if they are not favorable, but be aggressive and pursue by faith to be blessed to be a blessing. This is taking up the shield of faith in order to quench the fiery darts from the enemy (Eph 6:16) so we can allow God to move as we take up the shield of faith because we choose to believe and trust in Him. We live in a world where destructive words have often destroyed the lives of many simply because the victims who listen to these lying destructive words take them personally rather than fighting the good fight of faith and refuting these lies used by the enemy through people. Therefore, when you think of it, words of destruction didn't come upon us because we were already destroyed, but it later became destructive because we received it in our hearts and it became our reserve. So if destructive and negative words had this effect to direct many lives in a downward spiral, the same thing holds true when we learn to only accept the Blessings of what Gods Word says about us and speaking the blessings over our lives and say it enough times so it gets into our heart that will become a reality. Just like destructive words have become a sad reality in many lives, lets reverse that by refuting these negative lies and speak Gods blessings over us that will be more powerful and see the rewards of this come to pass in our lives. I have often heard that when an expectant mother is a product of abuse, or if the parents often fight or argues when the child remains in the womb, it has a profound negative effect on the child during its life. That is why it is so important to start soon even while the child is in the womb to speak the blessings over the womb and into a childs life. Is it any wonder why Jesus loved blessing the little Children? I don't believe it was just an act of being nice, but there is much more to this than we may think. Speaking life and blessings over a child has a profound affect over its future. It's like laying a strong foundation of the Word (Jesus) upon ones life. Therefore, speaking Life over our lives and other lives of Christian brothers and sisters is very necessary to build and encourage each other up so we can live for God that allows God to work mightily through us that will have a more profound ripple effect to touch many others lives worldwide. Satan could not like it more for Gods people to remain silent and passive about this.
In 2 Cor 2:14 the Truth of Gods Word tells us that we who are in Christ always leads us in triumph and uses us to be His fragrance by spreading the knowledge of who He is everywhere. So why is it that many Christians are not living this Truth and not living the abundant life Jesus came to give us (John 10:10b)? When we are ignorant and don't know our Blood bought right that Jesus accomplished for us, or we don't see ourselves as inheritors of His goodness or we focus so much on our temporal troubles and become passive by just allowing the enemy to pull us down, we don't live the blessed life like we should. That is why His Word tells us that His own people are destroyed because we lack knowledge of His Word (Hosea 4:6). When many of us who have lived through these unfavorable experiences and learned alot from these events, we cannot afford to be silent. We need to speak out and teach others what we have learned so that many of you don't have to travel through the same valleys we once ended up going through. That is why God tells us that it is stupid when people refuse to receive instruction when it is especially intended to benefit one another (Prov 12:1). I often think many people have such a greater advantage than I did because what took me close to two decades to learn from some of this, I am compiling these messages in several hours to give you the same benefit it took years for me to learn from. Thinking of this emphasizes how foolish it is not to take heed to instruction from people who have lived through experiences in life and learn from it in a matter of a short time that will ultimately save you from years of going through needless trouble. If it is in fact the Word that defeats the enemy, then God gives us the responsibility to use His Word that we so desperately need to make use of.
When we see how the gift of life is beautiful when a newborn comes out of the womb, we see how precious the life of a person is. I often think we lose sight of that precious moment when we fail to value one anothers life and we forget to see the need to bless others as a unique and precious soul God created. Because God Himself knows the value of when we come to see this initial blessing, He reminds us not to ever lose sight of our first love for Him (Rev 2:4) when we first came to know Him. There is nothing more rewarding than to know that you have been used to be a blessing to precious souls, shedding a tear with others, sharing joy with others and speaking Life giving blessings of Gods Word over each valued soul. A little goes a long ways when we do it for the glory of God. We are created to be blessed to be a blessing to one another. When God Himself says that He is able to do exceedingly and abundantly for us more than we can ask or think (Eph 3:20), that means we have often limited Gods goodness and His power to work more effectively through us like He wants to. Being a rich blessing to others doesn't have to take much. Lets not listen to the lies of the enemy who will try to tell you otherwise and boldly believe God loves you and wants you to receive His rich blessings by activating the promises of His blessings He tells us that He has already given us (Eph 1:3) so He can mightily use you for His special purposes. By Your Grace Lord, we boldly declare that WE ARE BLESSED to be a rich blessing to many souls and You will use us to spread that fragrant knowledge and Your Glorious Excellencies of You everywhere we go. Bless every reader of these messages and let the power of Your Spirit move mightily through them and be blessed by it. We do it all for Your glory dear Lord in Jesus mighty Name, Amen.
