CALLED BLESSED!

Look! I am creating new heavens and a new earth, and no one will even think about the old ones anymore.
Be glad; rejoice forever in my creation!
And look! I will create Jerusalem as a place of happiness.
Her people will be a source of joy.
I will rejoice over Jerusalem and delight in my people.
And the sound of weeping and crying will be heard in it no more.
No longer will babies die when only a few days old.
No longer will adults die before they have lived a full life.
No longer will people be considered old at one hundred!
Only the cursed will die that young!
In those days people will live in the houses they build and eat the fruits of their own vineyards.
Unlike the past, invaders will not take their houses and confiscate their vineyards.
For my people will live as long as trees, and my chosen ones will have time to enjoy their hard-won gains.
They will not work in vain, and their children will not be doomed to misfortune.
For they are people blessed by the Lord, and their children, too, will be blessed.
I will answer them before they even call to me.
While they are still talking about their needs, I will go ahead and answer their prayers!
Isaiah 65 vs. 17-24. (NLT).
A woman called blessed is one that has the favor, kindness and goodness of God, and it makes whatever she does to succeed and prosper. This woman receives favor and mercy from God; she enjoys total deliverance, protection, supernatural help and assistance from God. And whatever she lays her hand upon to do usually succeeds.
English dictionary defines it as having divine aid and protection.
But what qualifies this woman to be called blessed?
Heb. 6 vs. 9: dear friends, even though we are talking this way, we really don’t believe it applies to you. We are confident that you are meant for better things, things that come with salvation.
Vs. 10: for God is not unjust. He will not forget how hard you have worked for Him and how you have shown your love to Him by caring for other believers (NLT).
We are laying more emphasis on vs. 9 … we are confident that you are meant for better things, things that come with salvation. And psalm 32 vs. 1 says, blessed is he whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered.
There is a package that accompanies salvation and anyone that receives Christ into their life receives this wonderful package of God’s blessings!
Begin to see yourself as a blessed woman!
The bible says, seek ye first God’s kingdom and righteousness and every other thing will be added unto you. That every other thing is God’s blessings. Always see yourself as a blessed person not minding your present situation or battles raging around you.
Being saved takes faith in the atoning sacrifice of our savior Jesus Christ and when you received Jesus, you inherited everything that belongs to Him and that’s why we are called Children of God, not servants because servants don’t have full access to the properties of the master of the house, but a son has every right to enjoy his father’s wealth and properties.
True repentance and getting saved is the foundational work that needs to be done in your life before you can have complete access to the store house of God.
The truth has being established that a born again child of God is blessed not cursed and anyone that has not made Jesus His Lord and Savior is still an unbeliever and is living under a curse!
Child of God you are blessed, don’t let the devil tell you otherwise.
Psalm 32 vs. 7: you are my hiding place; you preserve me from trouble; you surround me with songs of deliverance.
A blessed woman has the host of heaven as her 247 protector, shield and buckler, her refuge and fortress and her hiding place. That is why the bible says, come boldly to the throne of grace to obtain help in time of need. Only a saved woman can have that kind of assess to God’s presence.
Eph. 1vs. 3: praise be to the God and father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessings in Christ.
This passage is telling us that Jesus is the point man of your blessings and for you to connect to those blessing, you must first of all connect to Christ who is the only way, the truth and life!
Prov. 10 vs. 22: the blessing of the Lord brings wealth and He adds no trouble to it.
This passage is saying that the blessings of God, makes God’s wealth accessible to believers to enjoy them fully and it doesn’t add sorrow rather it makes glad!
Phil 4 vs. 19: and my God will supply your every need according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
He says that all your needs are meet and it is your right to enjoy them fully here on earth and finally in heaven with our heavenly father. Don’t let the enemy keep deceiving you that your sins of yesterday will never be forgiven. Confess your sins to God with a sincere heart with a repentant spirit He will forgive you but you have to forgive yourself as well.
Many Christians are backslidden and by so doing rejecting the fullness of God and His blessings because sin has no place in God’s sight, they open the door for the devil to come in and wreck havoc in their lives. One of the ways to backslide is to walk in disobedience, rejecting God’s principles.
Deut 28 shows us some of the blessings we enjoy in as a result of obedience to God. They are:
You will be blessed in the city and blessed in the country.
The fruit of your womb is blessed.
Your basket and stores are blessed.
You are blessed when you come in and when you go out.
The enemies that rise up against you will be defeated before you.
Your barns are blessed.
Everything you put your hand to do is blessed.
The land that God is giving you is blessed.
All the people on earth will see that you are called by the name of the Lord and they will fear you.
The Lord will grant you abundant prosperity.
You will walk under open heaven.
The Lord will send rain on your land in season and bless all the works of your hands.
You will lend to many nations and not borrow from them.
He will make you the head and not the tail.
Walk in this consciousness that you are blessed by God, not cursed!
PRAYER: decree the blessings of God upon your life by faith in Jesus name.
