God s Will Blessing! The will of God concerning us is that we walk in His blessing! Psalms 112:1-3 NLT Praise the LORD! How joyful are those who fear the LORD and delight in obeying His commands. (2) Their children will be successful everywhere; an entire generation of godly people will be blessed. (3) They themselves will be wealthy, and their good deeds will last forever.
God s Will Blessing! 3 John 1:2 KJVR Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. Genesis 12:2-3 KJVR And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: (3) And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
You are Blessed! Galatians 3:7-9 KJVR Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. (8) And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed. (9) So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham. Why So that all nations of the world will be blessed!!
The Devil is a Thief! Satan wants to steal every blessing that God desires for your life John 10:10 KJVR The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
Satan is Full of Deception We must understand the nature of our enemy Satan How is Satan so affective at what he does? Satan tries to confuse you so that you cannot see the plan of God.
Satan is a Liar! John 8:44 AMP Jesus accuses of religious leaders of His day You are of your father, the devil, and it is your will to practice the lusts and gratify the desires [which are characteristic] of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a falsehood, he speaks what is natural to him, for he is a liar [himself] and the father of lies and of all that is false.
Deception Why do people lie? To create a deception in thinking of another person. To cause other people think something other than the truth. Satan does the same!
Satan is a Liar The devil tries to keep you out of the blessing and the will of God by deception He tries to get us to think contrary to God s thoughts.
Satan s Deception The only way the devil can alter your thinking is through: Thoughts Ideas Suggestions
Deception Thoughts ideas and suggestion can come in many ways: Circumstances Words others may say Things that you see Even things that you feel and smell!
Learn a Lesson Lessons we can learn from the nation of Israel when God tried to take the first generation of the nation into the land of promise and blessing. Numbers 13:17-33 NLT Numbers 14:1-11 NLT
Interesting Points God was bringing Israel into the best land on the planet earth The masses will often go with the majority rather than the minority. Two people can see that exact same situation or circumstance and have different thoughts and reactions to it. The people s thoughts were so twisted and negative as a result of what the 10 spies said that they grieved and wept all night long! They never physically saw the land!
Keeping the thoughts of God How do we keep the thoughts of God in our heart and guard against the thoughts of the Devil? Romans 12:2 AMP Isaiah 55:6-9 KJVR
Remember: Everything that you say and do starts with a thought If you think God s thoughts, You will say what God s says You will eventually do what God says to do Which always lead to the blessing!
