Blessed Again!

2009-02-23T19:49:00.002+02:00

blessed |blest; ˈblesid| |blɛst| |ˈblɛsəd| |ˈblɛsɪd| |blɛst|
Psalm 103:1-2 MSG
(1) A David psalm. O my soul, bless GOD. From head to toe, I'll bless his holy name!
(2) O my soul, bless GOD, don't forget a single blessing…

Levels of Blessing…
1. God blesses his people when he bestows on them some gift temporal or spiritual
Job 42:12-17 (MSG)
(12) GOD blessed Job's later life even more than his earlier life. He ended up with fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, one thousand teams of oxen, and one thousand donkeys.
(13) He also had seven sons and three daughters.
(14) He named the first daughter Dove, the second, Cinnamon, and the third, Dark eyes.
(15) There was not a woman in that country as beautiful as Job's daughters. Their father treated them as equals with their brothers, providing the same inheritance.
(16) Job lived on another hundred and forty years, living to see his children and grandchildren--four generations of them!
(17) Then he died--an old man, a full life.

2. We bless God when we thank him for his mercies…
Psalm 145:1-7 (MSG)
(1) David's praise. I lift you high in praise, my God, O my King! and I'll bless your name into eternity.
(2) I'll bless you every day, and keep it up from now to eternity.
(3) GOD is magnificent; he can never be praised enough. There are no boundaries to his greatness.
(4) Generation after generation stands in awe of your work; each one tells stories of your mighty acts.
(5) Your beauty and splendor have everyone talking; I compose songs on your wonders.
(6) Your marvelous doings are headline news; I could write a book full of the details of your greatness.
(7) The fame of your goodness spreads across the country; your righteousness is on everyone's lips.

3. A man blesses himself when he invokes God's blessing, or rejoices in God's goodness to him
Isa 65:16-17 (MKJV)
(16) He who blesses himself in the earth shall bless himself in the God of truth. And he who swears in the earth will swear by the God of truth; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are hidden from My eyes.
(17) For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth. And the things before will not be remembered, nor come to mind.

Barnes:
“The favor of God shall be restored. His pure worship shall be re-established, and his name shall be celebrated again in the land. The image here is one of returning prosperity and favor; a state when the happiness will be so great that all the former trials will be regarded as not worthy of recollection.”

4. One blesses another when he expresses good wishes or offers prayer to God for his welfare .
Gen 31:55 AMP
(55) And early in the morning Laban rose up and kissed his grandchildren and his daughters and pronounced a blessing [asking God's favor] on them. Then Laban departed and returned to his home.

(20) May God, who puts all things together, makes all things whole, Who made a lasting mark through the sacrifice of Jesus, the sacrifice of blood that sealed the eternal covenant, Who led Jesus, our Great Shepherd, up and alive from the dead,
(21) Now put you together, provide you with everything you need to please him, Make us into what gives him most pleasure, by means of the sacrifice of Jesus, the Messiah. All glory to Jesus forever and always! Oh, yes, yes, yes.

1Peter 5:10-11 MSG
(10) The suffering won't last forever. It won't be long before this generous God who has great plans for us in Christ--eternal and glorious plans they are!--will have you put together and on your feet for good.
(11) He gets the last word; yes, he does.

Num 6:23-27
(23) …This is how you are to bless the People of Israel. Say to them,
(24) GOD bless you and keep you,
(25) GOD smile on you and gift you,
(26) GOD look you full in the face and make you prosper.
(27) In so doing, they will place my name on the People of Israel-- I will confirm it by blessing them."

Blessed - Think on This!

2009-02-23T19:16:00.002+02:00

Blessed!
Psalm 1:1-6 MSG
(1) How well God must like you - you don't hang out at Sin Saloon, you don't slink along Dead-End Road, you don't go to Smart-Mouth College.
(2) Instead you thrill to GOD’ s Word, you chew on Scripture day and night.
(3) You're a tree replanted in Eden, bearing fresh fruit every month, Never dropping a leaf, always in blossom.
(4) You're not at all like the wicked, who are mere windblown dust--
(5) Without defense in court, unfit company for innocent people.
(6) GOD charts the road you take. The road they take is Skid Row.

me and the dear wife during our visit to the Holy Land in May 2008! Being at the Dead Sea was an experience in itself,drifting in the solid salt mass of water is one of those "never-2-4get" moments! This picture was taken after me and Corné had the mineral "mud" spa and then "dived" back in to the "weightlessness" of the Dead Sea!

Maxine's story: a Vibrant young girl connected with PNX in grade 9 and was sold out coming to PNX as soon as she finished school...I actually met her for the first time 3 weeks ago and when I did her vibrant personality just filled the room...

Coming to Pneumatix wasn't an option,it was her destiny! 100's of -people touched by Max's life came to celebrate her life story! Connected to J.C.,Maxine has cleared the way for many of her friends to just journey on and make a difference!

a Player taken from the "game"...the "game" continues...Keep on Playing teammates till fulltime...Max is cheering us on!
