Has the Lord truly blessed me in what I am doing?
How about you?
For me in, some ways yes in other ways absolutely not…what to do?
Psalm 127:1&2 NIV. Unless the Lord builds the house its builders labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the watchman stand guard in vain. In vain you rise early and stay up late, toiling for food to eat-for he grants sleep to those he loves.
Psalm 128:1&2 NIV. Blessed are all those who fear the Lord, and walk in his ways. You will eat the fruit of your labor; blessings and prosperity will be yours.
The Lord is constantly pouring out many blessings all throughout our lives…
Here’s the downlow with new endeavors the Lord will either pour out blessing or what you are accomplishing may be in vain. You’ll have to ask Him, by praying, having patience He will reveal to you what your meant to do, sometimes it’ll be really hard to let go but later you realize there was a blessing on hold for you. So be led by peace ask, seek and knock… acknowledge the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart…
Matthew 7:7&8 NIV. Ask and it’ll be given to you, seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.
Psalm 37:4 NIV. Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart.
My experience. I thought being blessed was being crazy ridiculous busy making the money but I was in a toxic environment, what to do? While praying earnestly waiting patiently on the Lord, asking Him what to do, He answered me tenderly, peace came with joy overflowing. Later the response of support overwhelmed be greatly all while thinking I was still in an outpouring of blessing it stared to trickle down, back to the drawing board, talking with God I know He knows me best and while I search my heart I line it up with His, I open up and surrender completely as an open vessel as Jesus did blessing the Father praying Your Will be done, when Jesus laid us the foundation mapping out our course I should do the same Lord Your Will be done, blessings flow again in the midst of trying new things letting go and letting God He will bless you deeply.
On the cusp of breaking through a final barrier personal to me He is preparing my heart, body, soul, mind, in most being, and spirit, everything I am to accomplish great things as Jesus did, I’m getting ready, taking risks that lead to affecting my business but it’ll all be worth me sharing my faith and growing in faith, as well as trusting Him all the way. I’ll open up more on this as we dive into how God is outpouring blessing in my life as promises are answered and they will be very soon, thank You Lord.
Even in our indulgencies, when they are not the Lords Will, He will not pour blessing on it, so be careful here because things we enjoy can become overtaking or we loose control because of an overabundance and we get caught up in a trap where we have no self control and it starts to control us, we say things like; I can't live without it-type quotas and honestly truly you cannot live without the Lord, so over indulge in Him and don't let anyone tell you any different.
Closing thoughts have you obeyed a prompting on your heart from the Lord by jumping in with both feet, are you unsure about the follow through or you are uncomfortable, nervous, when you are uncertain in any way ask God to be more clear He will let you know and as you spend more time you’ll learn more about how the Lord communicates with you for everyone its different because we are all designed uniquely by His hand and each one of us need to be communicated to in different ways. As you decode this Will, that the Lord places upon your heart for advancing His Kingdom blessings will flow with prosperity and you will eat the fruit of your labor and it’ll be sweat. When it is from the Lord and He blesses what you are doing, it'll be fruitful labor.
Count on depend on God to bless you, share with Him every desire of your heart, allow His Will be done through you and you’ll reap the reward because He loves you and His will is always looking out for the best interest in all of His people.
Matthew 7:9-11 NIV. Which of you, if his son asks for bread will you give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will you Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!
Heavenly Father thank You for loving me so much that you’d pour out abundant blessings upon my life, help strengthen my faith as I move in closer to You and trust and acknowledge everything You do is for the greater good and I can obey without flinching because You equip me you make my feet as those of a deer so I can go on great heights to advance Your Kingdom as Your Will be done on earth as it is in Heaven, I pray those who are Yours will also notice the great outpourings You send in blessings, strengthen your people in faith, help your blessing to those be that they will jump in with both feet in obedience of Your Will, give discerning hearts that line up with Yours. Plead the Precious Blood of Jesus over all, in Jesus’ name, Amen.
