Poor In Spirit

Poor in the Spirit is a state in which we are always (continually) dependent on God, receiving provisions from Him and always giving the received provisions to meet their own or others' needs. Poor in the Spirit is the cycle of always receiving and always giving to others what we have received from God, resulting in we staying poor (becoming empty). Poor in the Spirit is a state in which we are always lacking (in abilities or provisions to perform a task) and always dependent on God. When we receive something from God, we quickly empty(use) it and again become poor and dependent on God for abilities or provisions for the next task. We receive it and empty it, keeping nothing for ourselves.

Every provision we receive, and we use it immediately and again stay poor. We bring our lacking and shortcomings before God. We are lacking in wisdom, insight, gifts, healing, miracles, and so on, and we bring this to God. We even bring others' lacking or needs or shortcomings before God. When we bring our/others lacking or shortcomings to God, we draw more from God. We draw from God and use it for the benefit of others. Again, we empty ourselves, become poor, and turn to God. God is a well of infinite riches or resources, but only those who are poor in spirit know how to draw from it.

Becoming poor in Spirit is our strength. Becoming poor in spirit is like having a debit card (without expiry) that allows us to access a limitless supply(unlimited) of heavenly treasure. When we become poor in Spirit, we are always backed the providing hand of God.

Those who are poor in Spirit draw treasures from the storehouses of God (in heaven). By remaining always dependent on God and showing their lacking (inability), the people who are poor in Spirit continuously draw heavenly treasures.

For theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven because they draw heavenly provisions or treasures on earth. They draw heavenly treasures, mainly the fruits of the Spirit such as love, peace, joy, longsuffering and so on. They use these treasures to build the kingdom of heaven on earth. It’s a kingdom that is build on fruits of Spirit i.e. humility, love, peace and so on.

The poor in heart draw heavenly treasures and use them for the benefit of others. The people who are poor in spirit have an enlarged or extended heart which can accommodate many people in their heart. The more the need, the greater they understand their inability, and the more they will seek help (draw) from God for all people.

Becoming poor in Spirit is a blessing. The blessing is that we draw from the storehouses of God (in heaven) the fruits of the Spirit that can build the Kingdom of Heaven on earth. By becoming poor in Spirit, you can know the height and depth of God’s character and nature- his Love and mercy.
