Did you know that God has commanded a blessing over you? Deuteronomy 28:2-14 is a covenant promise God made to bless us for obeying him. Seriously, read it for yourself; If you will obey the Lord your God, all these blessings will come to you and be yours: “He will bless you in the city and in the field. He will bless you and give you many children. He will bless your land and give you good crops. He will bless your animals and let them have many babies. ^{He will bless you with calves and lambs. He will bless your baskets and pans and fill them with food. He will bless you at all times in everything you do. The} Lord will help you defeat your enemies who come to fight against you. Your enemies will come against you one way, but they will run away from you seven different ways! The Lord will bless you and fill your barns. He will bless everything you do. The Lord your God will bless you in the land that he is giving you. ^{If you follow the} Lord your God and obey his commands, he will do what he promised. The Lord will make you his own special people. ^{Then all the people in that land will see that you are called to be the} Lord’s people, and they will be afraid of you. And the Lord will give you many good things. He will give you many children. He will give your cows many calves. He will give you a good harvest in the land that the Lord promised your ancestors to give you. ^The Lord will open his storehouse where he keeps his rich blessings. He will send rain at the right time for your land. He will bless everything you do. You will have money to lend to many nations. And you will not need to borrow anything from them. The Lord will make you be like the head, not the tail. You will be on top, not on the bottom. This will happen if you listen to the commands of the Lord your God that I tell you today. You must carefully obey these commands. ^{You must not turn away from any of the teachings that I give you today. You must not turn away to the right or to the left. You must not follow other gods to serve them.}

I speak these verses over my children, my finances, my home, my church, my pastors, my job, my friends. God promised these things and I believe them. He cannot lie. He ALWAYS keeps his promises. The coolest part of all this is, because of the sacrifice Jesus made on the cross, I no longer have to do good to get good, I am clothed in HIS righteousness, not my own. Jesus made me right so that I could inherit the blessings he promised. WOW!

I’m redeemed by the blood and that covers every mistake I’ve made, every wrong turn, every poor decision, every sin committed. Don’t believe it? Try putting something in a bucket of blood. Can you see it? It’s there, but you can’t see it because it’s covered. Jesus has done that for us.

Thank you Father for this completely, perfect gift of salvation. No one can duplicate it. It was freely given and freely received. Without that blood, every sin would remain obvious and the ugly guilt and shame would be visible for all to see. But your blood was enough to take it all away. I receive that gift and every promise you’ve ever made to me. Promise of provision, forgiveness, prosperity, wisdom, healing, everything, I receive it and thank you for it. It’s in Jesus’ Name I pray. Amen
