I Will Bless You

 I Will Bless You

Now the LORD had said to Abram: "Get out of your country, From your family  And from your father's house, To a land that I will show you.  I will make you a great nation;  I will bless you And make your name great;  And you shall be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you; And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed." Genesis 12:1-3

Jesus said to them, "Have you never read in the Scriptures: 'The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief cornerstone. This was the LORD'S doing, And it is marvelous in our eyes'? Matthew 21:42

Jesus Christ, who is the same yesterday today and forever, wants to heal and liberate all the sick and afflicted today: the cancer victims, the heart patients, those with diabetes and all manner of sicknesses and diseases, those who are bound by the demons. He wants to make them health and fill them also with the fruits and the gifts of the Holy Spirit. He wants to fill them with joy, happiness and peace, deliver them from the clutches of the devil, heal them from all kinds of infirmities and transform them to be like Him.

Yes, God wants to fill the emptiness of their heart with His Holy Spirit. He wants to release them from all the clutches of the worldly pleasures and transform them to be His beloved children. He wants to help them to live a life pleasing to Him. He wants to do for them what He did for Abraham; to bless them, to make their name great and to make them be a blessing. He wants to lift them up and honor them. He wants to transform them into a vessel of honor and blessing. And no one in the whole universe wants them to be healed, whole, filled with the Spirit and blessed like God does. And He has the power to make it so if they will only believe and let Him do so. His word is unchanging:

"And the patriarchs, becoming envious, sold Joseph into Egypt. But God was with him  "and delivered him out of all his troubles, and gave him favor and wisdom in the presence of Pharaoh, king of Egypt; and he made him governor over Egypt and all his house. Acts 7:9-10

THE ELDER, To the beloved Gaius, whom I love in truth: Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers. For I rejoiced greatly when brethren came and testified of the truth that is in you, just as you walk in the truth. I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth. 3 John 1:1-4

Even though God’s trusting ones might face all kinds of negative storms and lacks in life, God is always, always, for them, with them and not against them! They can always at all times come boldly to the throne of grace, that they may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need (Hebrews 4:16).  Jesus Christ the captain of their salvation, was made a little lower than the angels, for the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that He, by the grace of God, might taste death for everyone and was made perfect through sufferings. Jesus Christ, for whom are all things and by whom are all things, their big brother, for both He who sanctifies and those who are being sanctified are all of one, had partaken of flesh and blood that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, and release those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. In that He Himself has suffered, being tempted, He is able to aid those who are tempted(Hebrews 2:9-18). His word is unchanging:

 When evening had come, they brought to Him many who were demon-possessed. And He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying:  "He Himself took our infirmities  And bore our sicknesses." Matthew 8:16-17

When the sun was setting, all those who had any that were sick with various diseases brought them to Him; and He laid His hands on every one of them and healed them.  Like 4:40

God is good and all His deeds are always good. In the beginning, when He finished creating everything, He surveyed them and found that everything was good (Genesis 1:31). When He came into this world in the name of 'Jesus', He always went about doing good to others.

When there was shortage of wine in the wedding house at Cana, He performed a miracle by changing water into wine and made the people cheerful (John 2:1-11). When He saw the multitude He had compassion for them and said to His disciples, "I have compassion on the multitude, because they have continued to be with Me for three days and have nothing to eat. I cannot send them away hungry, lest they faint on the way" (Matthew 15:23). He took the seven loaves of bread and few little fishes that His disciples had. He gave thanks, broke them, gave them to His disciples and in turn they gave it to the multitude. There were four thousand men, besides women and children. Thus by feeding the hungry people He did good to them.

When He saw the multitude He had compassion and He healed the sick (Matthew 14:14). Jesus went about all the cities and villages teaching in their synagogues, preaching about the Kingdom of God and healing every sickness (Matthew 9:35, 4:23). The people followed Him not only when He was in the villages and towns but also when He was in the wilderness. He was doing good to all those who followed Him.[i] His word is unchanging:

"If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!" Matthew 7:11

God never wants to curse His people; nor does He want them to have a life blighted by curses. Rather, He desires that they should have a blessed life, full of health and prosperity.  His word is unchanging:

And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope until the end,  that you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises. For when God made a promise to Abraham, because He could swear by no one greater, He swore by Himself, saying, "Surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you." And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise. Hebrews 6:11-15

"Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers. " 3 John 2

For this purpose Jesus came to redeem those who were cursed and to give them life and more abundantly.  He came to save, heal, deliver and make men whole and complete. He came to give them victory over all things. Jesus died on the cross to take away all the curse and sins and bless men richly.

We live in a world full of woes with all sorts of problems, sicknesses and sufferings but Jesus came to set men free from these plagues and to live happily and peacefully.  He came to give them miracles and heavenly help in this regard. He is very much alive to their desires and needs. He came to be their sun and shield and to give them grace and glory. His word is unchanging:

For the LORD God is a sun and shield; The LORD will give grace and glory; No good thing will He withhold From those who walk uprightly. Psalm 84:11

And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.

John bore witness of Him and cried out, saying, "This was He of whom I said, 'He who comes after me is preferred before me, for He was before me.' "  And of His fullness we have all received, and grace for grace.  For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him. John 1:14-18

The odds may be against men but Jesus is still the Almighty One.  He is all-powerful to turn any situation around, to heal any disease and more than any thing to comfort  His trusting ones and to give them peace, as they look up to Him and tell Him about all  their  worries, anxieties and problems and submit all their  burdens at His feet who is a God of impossibilities and acknowledge that nothing is impossible with  Him. His word is unchanging:

And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.  "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen. Matthew 28:18-20

 "These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world." John 16:33

What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?  He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? Romans 8:31-32

Yes, in the world we will have tribulation but we can be of good cheer for Jesus overcame the world. Yes, If God is for us, who can be against us?  He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?  Yes,  the Lord has promised to take care of His trusting ones according to His riches and glory! He owns everything! We are moving into a time of restoration for His people and an outpouring of great financial blessings. God’s trusting ones can stand fast and believe that the Lord is prospering them and restoring them, no matter what the world economy looks like, for God’s word is unchanging:

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.  Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you.  And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.  I will be found by you, says the LORD, and I will bring you back from your captivity; I will gather you from all the nations and from all the places where I have driven you, says the LORD, and I will bring you to the place from which I cause you to be carried away captive. Jeremiah 29:11-14

Then the LORD will be zealous for His land, And pity His people.  The LORD will answer and say to His people, "Behold, I will send you grain and new wine and oil,  And you will be satisfied by them; I will no longer make you a reproach among the nations.  "But I will remove far from you the northern army, And will drive him away into a barren and desolate land,  With his face toward the eastern sea And his back toward the western sea;  His stench will come up,  And his foul odor will rise,  Because he has done monstrous things."

Fear not, O land; Be glad and rejoice, For the LORD has done marvelous things! Do not be afraid, you beasts of the field;  For the open pastures are springing up,  And the tree bears its fruit; The fig tree and the vine yield their strength. Be glad then, you children of Zion,  And rejoice in the LORD your God;  For He has given you the former rain faithfully,  And He will cause the rain to come down for you- The former rain,  And the latter rain in the first month.  The threshing floors shall be full of wheat, And the vats shall overflow with new wine and oil.

 "So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten,  The crawling locust, The consuming locust,  And the chewing locust, My great army which I sent among you. You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied,  And praise the name of the LORD your God,   Who has dealt wondrously with you;  And My people shall never be put to shame. Joel 2:18-26

The Lord desires to bless our lives with His choicest and rich blessings and help us to be a blessing to others, too. He wants to take control of our lives and help us to glorify Him. He who blessed and gave Abraham unlimited riches will do the same to His trusting ones for He is no respecter of persons and shows partiality to no one.  His word is unchanging:

"Listen to Me, you who follow after righteousness, You who seek the LORD: Look to the rock from which you were hewn,  And to the hole of the pit from which you were dug.  Look to Abraham your father, And to Sarah who bore you;  For I called him alone,  And blessed him and increased him."

For the LORD will comfort Zion, He will comfort all her waste places;  He will make her wilderness like Eden,  And her desert like the garden of the LORD; Joy and gladness will be found in it, Thanksgiving and the voice of melody. Isaiah 51:1-3
