STRETCHED TO BE BLESSED

Philippians 1:6 He who began a good work in you is faithful to complete it / Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you,” says the LORD. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope

When we go through seasons in Our Daily Walk we will sometimes look at them as a burden or we say “God I didn’t deserve this to happen to me Why me?”.Or we just get depressed and sulk in our situation and pray daily God please take this problem away.God will Never give you a diseases or do things to harm you he doesn’t test us in these ways.These seasons we go through are not to hurt us they are to build you up not take you down.

If you are in military you wouldn’t go into battle without your gear and without training .Ephesians 6 says put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.We need to understand in all seasons that we encounter we are being prepared and strengthened by the lord. So every trial that comes your way is a blessing because God is stretching you and he is molding you into his image and only wants you to have the best things in your life.God’s love for you is never ending ,but you must accept correction and be obedient.God will show you some really amazing things if you allow him to do his work in you.

When God allows us to go through these seasons it’s for us to grow spiritually and to prepare us for his blessings he has for us today ,tomorrow and in the future .He will never will try to hurt you he loves us more than you can ever perceive.

From personal experience the stretching process hurts.Its like going to the gym for the first time in many years,it hurts and the more you work out you stretch parts of your body that you haven’t used and it hurts and it makes you sore ,but after time the more you work out the stronger you get , the process has some pain involved it has some sacrifice involved .I was always told in gym no pain no gain LOL .We need to understand you can’t gain blessings without some sacrifice or some pain.No body builder was able to bench 300 pounds and said yes I did this without pain and without sacrifice . Jesus died on the Cross for our sins he encounter tremendous pain and he sacrificed his body.

“The stretching is the preparation for the Blessing !”

You wouldn’t give a 7 year old child the keys to your car to would you ? NO… God can’t give you what you’re not ready for .So next time you’re wondering why I’m in this place ? Remember God is trying to show us something and he will keep us in a season of stretching until we understand what he is trying to teach us.

“Blessings come to those who are prepared to accept them”

He is our father and He Loves us.Seasons and the stretching process are extremely important to our walk with the Lord. What makes the blessings so special is knowing God was with us from the start and he never left us and he is in us and with us always …

*** On a side note God just showed me something while writing this blog today .He is taking me out of my comfort zone and he is stretching me to write these blogs weekly ,so he can bless me and others through it so he is doing a work through me.So I’m being stretched and Im being blessed by the stretching of my faith and my obedience to do his will.WOW see how God will speak to you when you step out and allow him to add the super to your natural.
