“The Overflowing Cup, Blessings For Our Earthly Life” pt 3

Being blessed is more than a gift of material prosperity. It is that,

but it is more fully a state of being that is inseparably linked with a

deep connection to the one true God and all that He is.

Seven Key Ingredients to Walking in The Blessings of God

1. Seek first God’s Kingdom.

Matthew 6:33 ESV

But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness,

and all these things will be added to you.

Whatever I want God to bless I must put him in first place.

2. Read the Word of God for all it’s worth.

John 15:7 ESV

If you abide in me, and my words abide in you,

ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.

3. Do your best to obey what the Bible says.

Psalm 37:4 NIV

"Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give

you the desires of your heart."

4. Walk in forgiveness.

Psalm 103:12 NLT

He has removed our sins as far from us

as the east is from the west.

Isaiah 43:25 NLT

“I—yes, I alone—will blot out your sins for my own sake

and will never think of them again.

Why do we need to forgive other people?

_Because our faith won't allow us not to.

Also: Matthew 18:22, I Peter 3:9

5. Be humble and thankful.

Matthew 18:4 ESV

Whoever humbles himself like this child

is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

Also: James 4:6, Matthew 11:29

Humility is recognizing that I need less of me and more of Jesus.

6. Be patient, content, and know that God loves you.

God always gives His best to those who wait patiently.

Philippians 1:6 Ampl

I am convinced and confident of this very thing,

that He who has begun a good work in you will [continue to]

perfect and complete it until the day of Christ Jesus

[the time of His return].

Also: Isaiah 40:31

7. Pray, ask, and believe.

I John 5:14-15 ESV

And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask

anything according to his will he hears us. And if we know that he

hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests

that we have asked of him.

A delay is not a denial.

Luke 11:9-10 ESV

And I tell you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek,

and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.

For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds,

and to the one who knocks it will be opened.

Ask what you know about for sure,

seek until you find the will of God,

then knock and stand until the door opens.
