#9 --- DIVINE POSSIBILITIES: WALKING IN DIVINE BLESSINGS
By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com
We are studying Divine Possibilities:
1. Climb into God’s Envelope; 2. Accept the Mantle; 3. Starving at a feast; 4. Let God!
5. When an unforgiving preacher preaches forgiveness; 6. Rising above the Minimum;
7. Rising above the scars; 8. Every miracle starts with a problem! 9. Walking in Divine blessings;
10.Heese with your whine? Importunity/Determination
11. Kill the sacred cow.
We are in the series of Divine Possibilities. God has a place near His heart for you.
We approach God’s throne humbly but boldly as His children.
The closer we walk to the Father the better we will know Him. It is a very important point for those that follow Jesus to come close to Him.
Today we seldom reach above our potential and accept there is more, there is the realm of Divine
Possibilities! We must speak to this spiritual realm and reach for God’s plan.
The closer we are to God and His son Jesus the better we can hear Him.
Genesis 32:26 And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And Jacob said, I WILL NOT LET THEE GO, EXCEPT THOU BLESS ME!
Numbers 6: 22 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
23 Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, On this wise ye shall bless the children, saying unto them:
24 The Lord bless thee, and keep thee:
25 The Lord make His face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:
26 The Lord lift up His countenance upon theem and give thee peace.
27 And they shall put My Name upon the children, and I WILL BLESS THEM.
HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT ABOUT WORDS THAT WERE COMMON AND THEY HAVE NOW DISAPPEARED FROM DAILY USE?
***Ice box ***Caster oil ***Fender skirts
***Store bought ***Percolator *** Continental kits
***Running board ***Going to the picture show
***In the family way ***Duck tails ***Girdles
***Knuckle busters, steering wheel knobs
***Hose with a line up the back of them
TEXT FOR THE SERIES:
Mark 9:23 Jesus said unto him: IF THOU CANST BELIEVE, all things are possible to him that believes. 24. And straight way the father of the child cried out, and said WITH TEARS, Lord, I believe; HELP THOU MINE UNBELIEF!
Psalms 68:1 Let God arise, let His enemies be scattered:
19 BLESSED BE THE LORD, WHO DAILY LOADETH US WITH BENEFITS, EVEN THE GOD OF OUR SALVATION.
We are still treading in the realm of Divine Possibilities and we approach a very important
area for those that follow Jesus. Seems we hear so much today about generational curses.
We believe and accept that curses are real and come from making poor choices.
I think you should write a blessing for you family, and mail it or give it to each family member!
We must arise and make the choices that will bring BLESSING AND GENERATIONAL BLESSING ON OUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS. We have lost the beauty of blessing people in
the modern church. The Bible is full of situations when the parents spiritually and physically
blessed their children, their servants, and those that lived about them.
The realm of blessing is in the Old Testament, but it is also in the New Testament.
When at church have you spoken to bless others? When have you spoken to bless your
children and your grandchildren? When have you spoken to bless the leaders, the armed forces, and our nation?
It is high time within the church that we speak blessing and release the Divine possibilities
that bring release. This is serious and we need to learn the power of blessing from the Biblical point of view.
Have you sought God’s blessing on a regular basis? Have you gone to the Man of God, and asked him to bless you in Jesus name? Have you asked God to bless your family?
We must earnestly seek God’s blessings!
BLESSING:
*** To invoke Divine Care. To render holy
*** to hallow or consecrate by religious rite or word
*** To confer happiness and prosperity upon
*** To protect and preserve
*** To endow with favor
BLESS COMES FROM A WORD BLETSIAN WHICH COMES FROM THE WORD BLOOD, TO COVER WITH THE BLOOD. FROM THE USE OF BLOOD IN CONSECRATION.
BENEFITS:
*** An act of kindness
***something that promotes
***useful
*** financial, emotional, spiritual help in a hard time
We must speak blessing and turn the curses from a curse to a blessing.
1. WHEN GOD BLESSES GOD DESIRES THE BLESSING TO BE SHARED.
ABRAHAM’S BLESSING IS FOR YOU TODAY!
Genesis 12:2 And I (God) will make of thee a great nation, and I WILL BLESS thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
3 I will bless them that bless thee, and curse them that curse thee: in thee shall all the families of the earth be blessed.
2. OBEDIENCE TO GOD’S WORD RELEASES THE BLESSING.
Genesis 22:15 And the angel of the Lord called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time,
16 And said, by myself have I sworn, saith the Lord, for because thou has not withheld thy son, thy only son:
17 That in blessing I will bless them and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the
stars of heaven ---
18 And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou has obeyed my voice.
3. A FATHER PASSES THE BLESSING ON! ISAAC PASSES ON THE ABRAHAMIC BLESSING.
Genesis 27:22 And his father Isaac said unto him, Jacob, Come near now, and kiss me my son. 27 And he came near, and kissed him, and he smelled the smell
of his raiment, and blessed him, and said, See the smell of my son is as the smell of a field which the Lord hath blessed:
28 Therefore God give thee of the dew of heaven, and of the fatness of the earth, and plenty of corn and wine.
29 Let the people serve thee, and nations bow down to thee: cursed be every one that curses thee, and blessed be he that blesses thee.
Genesis 28: 3 And the God Almighty bless thee, and make you fruitful, and multiply thee, that thou mayest be a multitude of people;
4 And give thee the blessing of Abraham, to thee, and to thy seed with thee; that thou mayest inherit the land wherein thou art a stranger, which God gave
unto Abraham.
4. PASS THE BLESSING ON TO OTHERS! WE ARE BLESSED TO SHARE!
Genesis 33:11 Take, I pray thee, my blessing that thou is brought to thee, because God hath dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough. And he urged him,
and he took it.
5. BLESSINGS KEEP US THROUGH HARD TIMES!
Joseph was hated, thrown in the pit, sold to slavery, thrown in jail... But God was there... God blessed this young man.
Genesis 39:2 And the Lord was WITH JOSEPH, and he was a prosperous man...
Genesis 39:3 And his Master saw that the Lord was with him...
Genesis 39:5 --- that the Lord blessed the Egyptians house, and over all that he had, for Joseph’s sake; and the blessings of the Lord was upon all ...
Genesis 39: 21 And the Lord was WITH JOSEPH and showed him mercy ...
Genesis 39: 23 --- because the Lord was WITH HIM, and that which he did, the Lord made it to prosper...
DIVINE MIRACLES AND DIVINE POSSIBILITIES ARE RELEASED IN GREAT PROBLEMS AND GREAT HEARTACHE.
6. JOSEPH’S DAD JACOB NEARS HIS DEATH. JACOB CALLS HIS SONS TOGETHER, AND HE BLESSES THEM AND CHARGES THEM IN
GENESIS 49.
JACOB ALSO TAKES JOSEPH’S TWO SONS EPHRAIM AND MANASSEH AS HIS OWN AND BLESSES THEM.
Genesis 48:3 And Jacob said unto Joseph, God Almighty appeared unto me at Luz in the land of Canaan, AND BLESSED ME. 4. And said unto me, Behold, I will MAKE thee fruitful, and multiply thee, and I will make thee a multitude of people, and will give this land to thy seed after thee for an everlasting possession.
7. SOME MIGHT THINK JOSEPH’S SONS DID NOT DESERVE A BLESSING BECAUSE THEY HAD AN EGYPTIAN MOM? THE KISS TELLS ALL!
Genesis 48: 9 And Joseph said unto his father, They are my sons, whom God hath given me in this place. He said, BRING THEM, I PRAY THEE UNTO ME, AND I WILL BLESS THEM. 10. Now the eyes of Israel were dim for age, so that he could not see. And he brought
them near him; and he kissed them, and embraced them.
8. CHOICES HAVE A ROLE IN BLESSINGS. POOR CHOICES WILL BRING LESS THAN THE BEST AND CURSES. MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICES EVERY DAY!
YOU ARE A SUM TOTAL OF YOUR DAILY CHOICES!
Deuteronomy 11:26 Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse; 27 A blessing, if you obey the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command
you this day. 28 And a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of the Lord your God.
9. DON’T FORGET THERE IS A CORRELATION BETWEEN GIVING AND BLESSING!
Deuteronomy 16:17 Every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of the Lord thy God hath given thee.
Ezekiel 44:30 And of the first of all the firstfruits of all things, and every oblation of all, of every sort of your oblations, shall be the priest’s: ye shall also give unto the priest the first of your dough, that he may cause the blessing to rest in thine house.
10. DEUTERONOMY 28 IS A WEALTHY STOREHOUSE OF BLESSINGS, CLAIM THEM!
Deuteronomy 28: 2 And all these blessings shall come upon thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God.
Deut. 28 verse:
3. Bless your city, bless your field.
4. Bless the fruit of your body, fruit of the ground, increase
5. Bless is the basket and the store
6. Blessed when you come, blessed when you go.
7. Bless when your enemies arise, they will flee 7 ways
8. Bless is your storehouse, and all that you do,
11. MAKE WISE GODLY CHOICES! SEE THAT YOUR CHOICES AFFECT OTHERS!
Deuteronomy 30: 19 I have called heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you LIFE and DEATH, BLESSING and Cursing: Therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed.
12. MOSES HAD A BLESSING AND MOSES PASSED THAT BLESSING ON TO OTHERS!
Deuteronomy 33:1 And this is the blessing, wherewith Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death.
13. THE BLESSING OF GOD BRINGS DELIVERANCE AND PRESERVES GOD’S PEOPLE!
Job 29:13 The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me: and caused the widow’s heart to sing for joy.
14. SOME QUIT BLESSING IN GOD’S NAME!
Psalms 129:8 Neither do they which go by say, The blessing of the Lord be upon you: we bless you in the name of the Lord.
15. GOD’S BLESSINGS CAN BE WITHOUT NEGATIVE SIDE EFFECTS.
Proverbs 10:22 The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich, and he added no sorrow with it.
16. THERE IS A WONDERFUL BLESSING OF GOD’S SWEET SPIRIT!
Isaiah 44:3 For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon dry ground: I will pour my SPIRIT upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring.
Ezekiel 34:26 And I will make them and the places round about my hill a blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down in his season, THERE SHALL BE
SHOWERS OF BLESSINGS.
17. GOD CAN TAKE OUR FEAR AND CURSE AND CHANGE IT TO BLESSING!
Zechariah 8: 13 And it shall come to pass, that as ye were a curse among the heathen O house of Judah, and house of Israel; so will I save you, and ye SHALL BE A
BLESSING: fear not, but let your hands be strong.
Malachi 3:9 Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation. 10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in
mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of host, IF I WILL NOT OPEN YOU THE WINDOWS OF HEAVEN, AND POUR YOU OUT A BLESSING, that there
shall not be room enough to receive it.
18. GOD’S PROMISE IS FOR YOU BY FAITH.
Galatians 3:14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles, through Jesus Christ; that we might RECEIVE THE PROMISE OF THE SPIRIT THROUGH FAITH.
Hebrews 6:14 Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee.
19. You are the hinge the door swings upon!
MAN HAS THIS GREAT ABILITY TO WANT MERCY AND NOT GIVE MERCY, THE SAME MAN DESIRES BLESSING AND WANTS TO GIVE A CURSE? GROW UP!
James 3: 9 Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.
10 Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessings and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be so.
20. SOW BLESSING, REAP BLESSING, REVENGE BELONGS TO GOD --- DO NOT STEAL!
1 Peter 3:9 Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but the contrariwise BLESSING; knowing that ye should inherit a blessing!
Revelation 7:12 Saying Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, And honor, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.
We must know and launch into the realm of Divine Possibilities that God can bless His People. We need to ask God’s blessing on us, then we need to speak God’s blessing to other people.
I think you should write a blessing for you family, and mail it or give it to each family member!
Prosperity is the blessing of the Old Testament; adversity is the blessing of the New
Testament. --- Francis Bacon
Blessings often come in disguise!
