Getting what God has for YOU

1 Corinthians 2:9 "But as it is written: Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him" 

To get what God has for you He must first be able to communicate with you and you with Him. In past blogs I have talked a lot about prayer, hearing God's voice, and trusting God's plan. All of those things come together to equip you to receive what God has for you. Free yourself of distractions, making yourself available to be used by God (for His purpose) and to be blessed by God (for your good). 

Be careful though, because although God longs to bless you the devil longs to block those blessings. Therefore, the devil will stage "blessings" of his own to distract you from the true blessings of God. The things that the devil tempts you with may sometimes closely resemble what God has for you, but differs in that it comes with stipulations and consequences that are designed to hold you captive. It is often something that will consume you so much so that you are too busy to seek God and receive what is really yours. NEWSFLASH: God's blessings have already been paid for...there are no stipulations. In fact, God's blessings come filled with love and the provisions you need to to be free in Him. 

God's blessings can be received by Praying for discernment and praying with stability (even in your weakest moments pray with the strength that you know God has). Do NOT pray to God with uncertainty in Him and His power... that is insulting! In addition, you must also love Him to receive His blessings. Your love for God is shown by how much you put into your relationship with Him and how you treat His people. Ultimately God is most concerned with the condition of your heart (which is a completely different topic) and He blesses you accordingly. Worship God for who He is not what He can do for you because at this point He's already done enough. We have to be grateful of His generosity to CONTINUE to bless us knowing He doesn't have to.  

It's time to set the atmosphere to receive your blessings...what an awesome way to start the week!
