I won't let go until...

Proverbs 10:22 The blessing of the Lord—it makes truly rich, and He adds no sorrow with it neither does toiling increase it. 

Blessing- to be happy (Strong's G3107)

God's heart is to bless. When you are surrounded by endless resource giving becomes your preoccupation. Jesus has no limits when it comes to his provision. God desires to shower us with his blessing. God's favor requires no hard labor. There's labor in the kingdom but it comes with the empowering of the Spirit. There's ease in his presence. That's why priests could not wear lamb skin in the Tabernacle because it caused them to perspire(Ezekiel 44:18). We shouldn't be sweating to access his presence. Neither should we be sweating to access his blessings. Sweating to be blessed is part of the curse. Just ask Adam (Gen. 3:17-19).

Jesus wants us to ask and desire his blessings. Ask, seek and knock (Matthew 7:7). He richly blesses all who call on his name (Romans 10:12). When we are not blessed we can't bless others. Personal blessing is the first step to a powerful corporate anointing. Pursue spiritual gifts(1 Cor. 14:1). Pursue spiritual blessing because when God blesses you he blesses the whole body.

 

1 Corinthians 12:7 (NIV)

Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good.

1 Corinthians 12:26 (AMP)

26 And if one member suffers, all the parts [share] the suffering; if one member is honored, all the members [share in] the enjoyment of it.
