The Blessing of God

After seeing God move in a big way at The Gathering we are left awestruck by the blessing of God. And it brings up the question: How does the magical process of blessing work?
Really it is not that complicated!
Step #1. We listen to Gods Voice
Step #2. We Obey God
Step #3. God pours out His Blessing

It might seem to simple but that is all it takes. God wants nothing but abundance and blessing in our lives and in our congregations. When we are obedient we produce good fruit. It is when we act on our own that we wither away and get pruned. God is not a stranger on the bus or some narsacistic freak that wants to punish us!
You see all to often when things do not go as we want them to we humanize the creator of the universe by rationalizing our circumstances away as a lesson from God or a trial of our faith. Now clearly God works all things for good and works through adversity but many times it is our own actions or lack thereof that puts us in the situation to begin with. Meanwhile God sits back and waits for us to pull our head out as we try to play a game of cosmic chicken with Him. Clearly we lose every time.

We must let God be God!
God wants nothing but blessings upon us. As the scriptures are written:For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.Jeremiah 29:11

Whether we are in a season of Blessing in the Promised Land or wandering in the desert; Loving God and Loving people will always maintain us on a course to the face of God.
