BLESSING
Eph 1, 3. TPT "Every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realm has already been lavished upon us as a love gift from our wonderful heavenly Father, the Father of our Lord Jesus—all because he sees us wrapped into Christ. This is why we celebrate him with all our hearts!"
I never understood what spiritual blessing means. Spiritual does not mean that it is like air and will never be tangible. But it means a supernatural blessing, so it is not limiated by biology, physics, medical diagnosis. It is through the Spirit that these blessings come into our lives, they are good because they come from God. Blessing is also a gift, so we receive it by grace, for the goodness of Jesus. In Christ. This means we can experience these blessings by thinking that we are one with Christ.
A blessing also means that we cannot separate Christ from His gifts, He is the reason for healing. If we have Christ, He healed our wounds and we are bearing fruit, we are blessed in all things. John 14, 20. Gal 2.20.
Blessings on Overflow
Our life with Jesus is like an unquenchable spring,
our Heavenly Father has given us constant blessings. We were often told that
life is full of ups and downs. After a hill you can expect a valley. Many of us
know Murphy's negative rules. But these are just bad fantasies. After a great
blessing we can expect even more blessings and our blessedness to last.
"And with great ability and power the apostles were CONTINUOUSLY testifying to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace [God's remarkable lovingkindness and favor and goodwill] RESTED RICHLY upon them all." Acts 4, 33.
What does it mean?
If we were blessed with one blessing, we can surely expect to be blessed even more. We are as blessed as the heroes of faith in the Bible. We have inherited their blessings through Jesus. Gal 3, 29. Sarah, Hannah, David, Jesus… If you have just experienced that somebody's healing has manifested as an answer to your prayer, you can expect more of such blessings. If you felt encouraged yesterday, listen to Him to hear His Word again. Just keep trusting and standing in faith. Do not let the devil trick you with his saying: "You cannot have more than this! You do not deserve any more blessings…"
''For out of His fullness [the superabundance of His grace and truth] we have all received grace upon grace [spiritual blessing upon spiritual blessing, favor upon favor, and gift heaped upon gift].' John 1, 16. AMP
Jesus is our identity and He is the same yesterday, today and forever. Hebrews 13, 8. Our blessings last – independent of our age. Hallelujah! Psalm 92, 14. 15.
PRAYER
Heavenly Father, here we are to be used by You, forever, today and tomorrow. We are ready for Your overflowing blessings so that we can also share healing, comfort with each other and with our friends. Holy Spirit, reveal Your unchanging love and favour to us, which is regardless of our age or finances or human relationships. Have Your way in our lives in Jesus' name, amen!
