Winning the Battle over Struggles - How to live and have a Blessed Life
We are not blessed by our goodness. We are blessed by our obedience. Obedience is the key to us living an abundant life. Why is it imperative that you learn the Holy Scriptures that God has left us? Because, living in full relationship with God allows us to receive from Him. Also you can stop your blessings from flowing down from God. The tool we have to give us the victory over Satan is : the Word of God. You must be taught the Word of God so you can know how to use your weapon and obey the laws of God. The Hebrew word for law is Torah, meaning "to teach" denoting a pathway to learning, and having a righteous relationship with God, Our Father. And, therefore, we should follow the teachings of our Lord Jesus who obeyed God's law.
However, there is no list of behaviors we can overcome or possess to make ourselves acceptable to God. Paul said, " We are not under the law but under grace, and then he asked the crucial question. Is sin permissable since we are not under the law but under grace?" He answers the questions in Romans 3:21 "Certainly not!" So even though we are saved by grace and not by works, grace does not give us the liberty (freedom) to live without boundaries. Yet, God said if we obey Him we will be blessed. It is impossible to obey a command or teaching if you do not know what it is. Paul called us to Study the Word of God.
I think about the fact that Christians are always asking for the blessings of Abraham, the blessings of Israel, but too often are not willing to obey the command that caused the blessings to come. In Deut 28:1, God tells us that those blessings come through obedience.
Deut 28:,1 " If you listen closely to what the Lord your God says, observing and obeying all his cammandments which I am giving you today,the Lord your God will raise you high above all the nations on earth and all the following blessings will be yours in abundance, if you will do what the Lord, your God says."
There are approximately 21 specific blessings in that chapter. One of the blessings is The Lord will order a blessing to be with you in everything you undertake. He states this twice. If you obey Him he will command a blessing for you in everything you do. It goes on to say, He will cause your enemies attacking you to be defeated before you. they will advance on you one way and flee before you seven ways! By faith you must believe that when you obey God, He will give you a great abundance of good things.
I heard T.D. Jakes once say, " Pure obedience to God brings down the walls that are keeping you from your blessings." So stay focus and stay the course. Keep your eyes on the prize. Obey the Lord. You may have many things you are struggling with, but if you obey Him your blessings will come.
Your biggest circumstance in life is found in your character. Obeying God creates good character, and when you speak a blessing over your life the Angels work on your behalf to make it so. Who has spoken a blessing over you? No one? Well today I, as the Pastor of Noble Light Ministries, speak a blessing over your life. Believe and have Faith in God.
Faith works by what is in your heart. If disobedience dwells in your heart your faith will not be effective nor will it bring victory to your battle or your struggles.
I pray that God gives you inner strength to obey Him and then open up the windows of Heaven and pour you out a blessing there will not be room enough to receive it." May it be the will of Our Lord and God to deliver you this day and every day from insolent men and impudence, from evil men and bad friends, from a bad neighbor and from any mishaps and destructive influences, from difficult litigation and from a stubborn litigant. May you not need any gift or loan from another person. May the Lord's hands bless you indeed! It is the Lord who gives you the ability to create wealth. May He give you creative ideas and may you stay fully employed so you have a gift to give to Him as well.
In His Love,
Pastor Tricia
