Are You Forgetting His Benefits?

SF, Stagecoach, NV

Dear Brothers & Sisters,      

     Did you know, that we are told in Psalms 103:2-5 (2) Bless the LORD, O my soul, And forget none of His benefits; (3) Who pardons all your iniquities,
Who heals all your diseases; (4) Who redeems your life from the pit,
Who crowns you with lovingkindness and compassion; (5) Who satisfies your years with good things, So that your youth is renewed like the eagle.”

     And the list goes on and on.  If you haven’t read Psalms 103 lately, you should, because God (Abba) does not want you to forget them.  These are all scriptures you can confess – when you need them.

    First, we’re told to BLESS THE Lord O my soul, so Bless Abba for what He’s done or is doing in your life.  And when things go haywire, such as; the enemy (Twerp) is attacking your conscience with feelings of guilt or depression, possibly to make you accept whatever fire you’re going through, you can easily say, “That’s UNDER THE BLOOD” providing of course you asked Abba for forgiveness.

     Keep in mind; your sins in your past are just that PAST!  Hopefully Sunday I will do a study on YOUR DNA.  But in the mean time, you were given a blood transfusion when you accepted Jesus as your Lord, Redeemer and Savior.  You’ll always know if you are on the right track, if you are walking in the Holy Spirit, because the Word says in 1 Corinthians 2:14 “But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised.”  So a natural man cannot understand the BIBLE nor have the fruit of the spirit (Galatians 5:22-26) which changes us so drastically, when we receive our new DNA.

     Yet, I believe it’s just smart to ask nightly for forgiveness of our sins, since it is in the Lord’s Prayer Matthew 6:12 “And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.” So I do ask for any possible sin committed that day, known or unknown.

Colossians 2:14-15

(14) When you were dead in your transgressions and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He made you alive together with Him, having forgiven us all our transgressions,

(15) having canceled out the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us, which was hostile to us; and He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross.”

     Then I believe ALL our iniquities are forgiven.  Strong’s Concordance say’s “Iniquities = Guilt or fault, is the belief of consequence and the acceptance of punishment.”  There is no punishment for you, Jesus took it ALL –Isaiah 53:6, tells us so “All of us like sheep have gone astray, Each of us has turned to his own way; But the LORD has caused the iniquity of us all To fall on Him.”  We have such a good Abba!  He only asks that we do things His way.

John 12:35-36

(35) “So Jesus said to them, “For a little while longer the Light is among you. Walk while you have the Light, so that darkness will not overtake you; he who walks in the darkness does not know where he goes.”

(36) “While you have the Light, believe in the Light, so that you may become sons of Light.” These things Jesus spoke, and He went away and hid Himself from them.”

     Again, “healing ALL your diseases” is covered under Isaiah 53:5 “But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities;
The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.  We are not “maybe” healed, WE ARE, so claim Isaiah 53:5 and

Isaiah 54:17 to cinch the deal, speak “No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, And their righteousness is from Me,” Says the LORD."

     Remember, you are also CROWNED with Lovingkindness and compassion (He feels what you feel, you share the same body).  While we are on earth He satisfied your life with good things.  So you can feel like a kid again, free from worry, fear or stress, no wonder your youth is renewed.

     So tell me, is it too hard for you to remember His benefits?  Or are you just going to go day-to-day “whining” how poor, broke and busted you are, when you have so many promises available to you.  The Holy Spirit will teach you as you read the Word, but it’s up to you if you will believe and do what He says - SPEAK THE WORD OVER YOUR LIFE!

Blessings to all -  May the Lord keep you in perfect peace, I speak Shalom, Shalom to each of you and your families (Deuteronomy 28:1-14).  Stay tough and stand on His Word – He truly is coming soon.
