Statements of Faith - Blessed By God

 

EPHESIANS 1:3

I am Blessed by The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Who has blessed me in Christ with every spiritual blessing in heavenly realms. 

James 1:17
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from The Father of lights, with Whom there is no variableness (change), nor shifting shadow.

Deuteronomy 28:1-14
1 By our faithful obedience to God's Word, He will set us on high above all nations of the earth.
2 We are to pay attention, be attentive to, God's Word and seek to know (with understanding and spiritual wisdom) and obey His will in every situation and decision.
 3 Wherever we live and whatever our work, it is blessed
4 Our children, our gardens, our livestocks will be blessed
5 God will supply all our needs
6 We will be blessed when we enter our homes and blessed when we leave them
7 We will have victory over our enemies and prosper in all we do; our enemies will fear us and our God, endeavouring to stay in our good graces
8 Our storehouses/barns/accounts will be prosper that we may bless others
9 We will be established as God's holy people, IF we keep His commandments and walk in His Way
10 They will know us by The Name of our God and be in awe of who we are 
11 Reiterates verse four 
12 We will prosper so well that many nations will borrow from us but we will never have need to borrow from them
13 We will rise above our enemies in the power and Promise of God, being the head (wise leaders); moving upward (as one does when mountain climbing, for example) but never downward.
14 As long as we remain in Him and follow Him, not allowing ourselves to be distracted by what tries to draw our attention away from Him, we will obtain every blessing He has herein promised His holy people. 

 In Christ, Who is God's Word in the flesh, I am forever truly blessed, indeed. In Christ, I am forgiven of my sins and redeemed by His blood, which He shed on Calvary. 
 In Christ, I am made whole and complete through His sanctification process through God's Holy Spirit. In Christ, I am not alone, nor will I ever be lonely, for He is my all in all. 
 In Christ, I am blessed beyond measure because He loves me. In Christ, I am God's adopted child because I believe that Jesus Christ is Lord. 
  In Christ I live and Christ lives in me.
