You know right, it's all very curious, just sayin' lol
Ok, I just got out .... no not prison silly, prayer! And what a Blessing I deserve right? Wait What?! In the first place, God's Blessings fall, like His rain, on evil and good alike. The great Blessings of health, genius, prosperity, all come from His overflowing grace, and not from the condition of the Character of the recipient. For instance, if health were a sign that a man is right with God, we should lose all distinction as to what a good Character is, for many bad men enjoy good health.
By Beatitude we mean the overflowing benediction (or the bestowing of a blessing) of a life that is rightly related to God - Character that lives within the frontiers where God makes Himself known. So many people think they must be right with God because He blesses them. This needs correcting...
If God makes no difference in His EXTERNAL Blessings to men, who are we that we should? One of the chief stagnating influences on spiritual Character is this reasoning - "Do they deserve it?" How much do any of us deserve the Blessing of God? Let us always remember that to enter into the experience of God's beatitudes is to find ourselves able to show our fellow-men the same unmerited Mercy, the same unselfish, unmerited love that God has shown to us.
Jesus told His disciples that this is indeed the test: "For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if we forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses." I say this all because I know my Fathers ways. I say this also because I hear when people speak as well - and I have come to conclude - God's blessings may mean His blasting. If God is going to Bless me, He must condemn and blast out of my being what He cannot Bless. "Our God is a consuming Fire." The old adage - "Careful what you pray for..." comes to mind: When we ask God to Bless us, we sometimes pray terrible havoc upon the things not of God. God will shake all that can be shaken, and He is doing it just now...
There is much movement in the Lord this day, and I have seen it already in my talks with people in PM's - God is creating havoc for some only to build them up in Him. And in prayer this Morning I am touched by the heart of God in this... God is about the business of reconciliation - complete reconciliation indeed thru transformation, which includes both demolition and renovation! I am so Thankful to God for it all, May He Bless each and everyone of us according to His will.
This was a short one I hope ... LOL.
