You are Blessed When you are: Humble
Matthew 5: 3"
Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
You are blessed when you are poor in spirit, when you are humble, contrite and totally reliant on God. God’s Kingdom will be yours and you will have authority and be given the keys to the kingdom.
When you rely on God and acknowledge Him you are walking by faith, not relying on your own understanding, and therefore He will direct your paths! God gives grac…

Hello everyone! Before I proceed to study the subject of "Blessings" and "Blessed", I thought that it was necessary to just whet your appeties a little in describing "Blessed" as it is explained in the amplified blbe. In an upcoming post I will also include some dictionary meanings, but here are just a few descriptions of "Blessed" to help us in our understanding.
To really meditate on these things helps me to understand what it truly means to be blessed!!
Matthew 5:3:

2 Peter 1:7:
And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity
Hello all and welcome to my next teaching on our subject “growing in our faith”. You know, sometimes we just have to go through certain things to get to the next level in our lives, before God will release us to go on with some things, and this subject has been one of those things. I have felt as though I have not been able to do this at all until…

Growing in our faith: Part 8.6 – Endurance and Godliness
And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;(KJV)
Now we will look at how to patience there must be the addition of godliness. Now remember that even though this scripture seems to state that it is all up to us in order to add these things to each other in order to have our faith grow and to increase in the knowledge of God and in our relationship with Him, it is quite obvious to me that throughout…

Faith and Virtue
Revision:
First of all a couple of things I failed to mention in part 8.1 concerning faith and what it is. There are many definitions of faith if you will study it out, and at the end of this series I will be posting the word studies that I did a few years ago now when I studied these scriptures out in detail. I believe you will find these definitions very helpful in meditating on these particular scriptures. I will post that attachment here at the…

So, the subject of our faith itself is indeed a huge one, so I will attempt here to break it down so we can get the gist of a few things about our faith as it stands in relation to this whole subject and the different facets that we have and will be exploring here.
I must admit that I have had a bit of a hard time even contemplating tackling this subject for that reason in and of itself: the sheer enormity of the subject, in that so many things have been and continue to be said about the topic!…

We are called into and by this glory.

The glory of fellowship with God.
Moses fellowshipped with God on the Mountain, and came away with the glory written all over His face. This was a lesser glory that was passing away, and yet, we have a greater glory, that comes to us…

Grace and peace be multiplied to you, in the knowledge of God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.." 2 Peter 1:2
REVISION:
Grace, as well as being a word that denotes saving grace, favour and blessings from God, is also a POWER WORD. It is also used when speaking of the power of God.
We see this in scriptures such as:
Luke 2:40:40 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.
Acts 4:33: 33 And with great power gave…

GROWING IN OUR FAITH - PART 1: GRACE AND PEACE
2 Peter 1:
2Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,
I really feel that these two things are very important in our walk with God and vital to us growing up in our faith and all that God wants us to be. Grace is the very thing that saves us and it is also the thing that keeps us walking in faith on a day to day basis.
Peace goes together so well with grace, because if we…
