GOODNESS

Today’s Scripture
…He sends forth [rains], and they overwhelm the land or transform it.” (Job 12:15, AMPC)

A Flood is Coming
Sometimes on the news, the weatherperson will announce that we’re under a Flash Flood Warning. That means conditions are ripe for possible flooding. Water could get out of its normal boundaries. It could overflow and increase in such a way that drainage and bayous are overwhelmed. Just like that weather person, I’m here to announce that you’re under a Flash Flood Warning today. Conditions are just right. You’ve honored God. You’ve been faithful. You’ve passed the test. Now God is saying, “There’s about to be a flood of My goodness, a flood of new opportunity, a flood of healing, a flood of goodness that breaks to where you are overwhelmed with My favor. It’s beyond your expectations. It puts you into overflow.” Today, get ready! Get your expectancy up. Be on the lookout for His goodness because a flood of favor is coming your way. When God opens up the floodgates of His divine power, nothing can stop it!

A Prayer for Today
“Father, thank You for flooding me with Your goodness, favor and mercy. I set my heart and mind on You today, and I’m ready to receive every blessing You have in store for me in Jesus’ name. Amen.”

My Thoughts:
We all like to be blessed like at a birthday or Christmas when we were young.   And still today I get blessed when the LORD sets the signals so I pass through without stopping.  One  time I went through 9 green lights in a row with all my turns.  Or I get the #1 parking spot right in front of the store.  I especially hate strife and stress so it is a great day when peace prevails and the tools I need are easy to find.   

So how do we enter in to the blessed space with GOD?   We enter in by finding and keeping HIS commandments which are given for our blessings.  Really,  GOD,  wants to bless us.  Paul puts it this way in Rom.8 ³²   He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?  ³³ Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth.  ³⁴ Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.  ³⁵ Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?  ³⁶ As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.  ³⁷ Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.  ³⁸ For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,³⁹ Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Reading the chapters of Romans 6, 7 & 8,  would be a good idea if needing a blessing today.  You see the choice is ours.  If we really ingest Rom. 8:10-14 we will find the “Keys To The Kingdom”¹⁰   And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.  ¹¹ But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.  ¹² Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.  ¹³ For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify ( put to death) the deeds of the body, ye shall live.  ¹⁴ For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

So GOD especially blesses those who walk with HIM through the HOLY SPIRIT.   And this is totally different than walking in the lusts of the flesh, lust of the eyes and pride of life that is normal in this world.  Our life time is a time of testing as to where we really want to live for eternity.  If we choose to live in GOD’s Kingdom of Light and Righteousness there is Blessing.   If we choose to honor this world’s system with it’s wants, desires and lies there is poverty of spirit and ultimately a rejection by GOD and the loss of living with HIM and all that HE has created. 

Yours in HIS great love and wonderful grace and mercy,   Ken<><    www.Trinity-Aloha.org
