Blessed to be a Blessing !

Mark 12 gives a brief glimpse of the earth lease in a parable. It reminds us that God is NOT in control.  He has put us in control.  As He is so are we in this world. (1 John 4:17 b)

God wants everyone saved, healed, and redeemed from lack and death. He has already provided for it. But there are many living without these things. Why? It is not because God is waiting for you to obey all the rules. He'd do it for you if He could! He is not a lawbreaker, and there are spiritual laws in place. God wouldn't break His word even if it were to the devil!

People who are living below or apart from His promises are doing so because they either don't know about them, they don't care about them, or they don't know how to receive them. I will simply avoid the second choice because if they don't care then they are just like the man falling out of a 90 story window who- when asked by someone leaning out the 40th floor window, "How are you doing?" He responds with "doing great so far." They don't know that they don't know.

At creation (Gen 1) God "breathed the breath of life" into Adam. It was not a puff of air! He spoke words to create man just like He did to create the universe! He said Let us make man in our image and likeness (His image means to look just like Him, His likeness means to be and have all the attributes and to function just like Him-death and life are in the power of YOUR tongue!). He also said let them be fruitful, multiply have dominion and authority over everything except other men. These words of creation dominion authority- THE BLESSING - were spoken TO create Adam, THEN they were the first words he heard. Everything God does is to BLESS!

We have been given Authority to receive and Walk in THE BLESSING.  God's original intent was for  the garden of Eden (which He placed in us as well as around us) to be spread throughout the entire world, because He intended to move here - HE STILL DOES!  You and I are to be carriers and distributors of  THE BLESSING! Say it out loud right now, I am a carrier and a distributor of THE  BLESSING! I am Blessed! I am Blessed to be a Blessing!

God Blessed us and told us He would NEVER  be angry with us. His Goodness is everlasting!

Isaiah 54: 8-10
In a little burst of wrath I hid My face from you for a moment, but with age-enduring love and kindness I will have compassion and mercy on you, says the Lord, your Redeemer. For this is like the days of Noah to Me; as I swore that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth, so have I sworn that I will not be angry with you or rebuke you. For though the mountains should depart and the hills be shaken or removed, yet My love and kindness shall not depart from you, nor shall My covenant of peace and completeness be removed, says the Lord, Who has compassion on you.

God is Good all the time!
