2Peter
1:3 "According as his divine power has given unto us all things that
pertain unto life and Godliness,
through
the knowledge of him that has called us to glory and virtue.(original
means 'doing good works out of love, concern and caring for others':.1Corinthians
12:7)."
Notice that it is His divine
power that enables all things for us. This divine
power
comes through growing in knowledge of Him. What
knowledge of Him would that be and what
is there that could hinder this power in us?
Psalms
1:3 "And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water.(a
tree keeps drinking in),
that brings forth his fruit in his season. His leaf also shall not wither
and whatsoever he does shall prosper."
Psalms
92:12 "The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree. He shall grow
like a cedar in Lebanon."
Just how
do I get the promises and what
are they, some of you might be saying? And will they come in this life?.Luke
18:30 "Who shall not receive manifold.(much,
many times).more
in this present time and in the world to come life everlasting."
Some may have been tithing
in hopes of receiving blessings from God or as an act of obedience to God.
In both cases they were wrong.
God gives us the will and
the power to do His good pleasure:.Philippians
2:13
The only way to be blessed
of God is of and by and through His nature which is in you.(that
is your connection to Him, that keeps you in alignment with what He is
and He is, above all other things, love; so how
do you use this?), that is, the power
that is in you, the power only you control in all that affects you and
it is through your mind, what it is you think. Think good and good follows,
think negative stuff, and guess
what you are going to get?
Most people's needs and
wants fall into these categories:.Health.(ref.

ref. 2 and med
beds).Wealth,
Joy,
Love.and.Expression.(right
job, lady or man in your life etc.).
