Who is writing the script for your life today? Discover how to move from following the world's prompts to walking in the unshakeable blessing of God.
The Context
In this sixteenth installment of the Your REAL ID series, we explore the profound truth that our identity is rooted in Christ as "blessed." Using the modern analogy of AI prompts, we contrast the fleeting, often negative scripts the world tries to program us with against the eternal source code of God's Word.
The Core Message
We dive deep into what it truly means to be "blessed"—not merely a feeling of happiness, but a state of being empowered by God to fulfill His purpose. We examine the biblical distinction between grace (unearned favor) and blessing (benefits activated by faith), tracing the lineage of blessing from Adam to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. We see that God’s blessing is spoken and must be received by faith, just as Isaac chose to sow and reap a hundredfold even in the midst of a famine.
Furthermore, we discuss the power of perspective. Through a personal story about a hotel view, we learn that God's blessing allows us to see beyond our natural circumstances. The message challenges us not to settle for a limited view but to recognize that we have the favor of God to ask for more. When we base our lives on the truth of Scripture, we can change our outlook and walk in the spiritual and practical prosperity God has ordained for us.
The Application
-
Identify Your Prompts: Be conscious of whether you are following the "prompts" of the enemy and the world, or the truth of God's Word.
-
Receive by Faith: Understand that while grace is given freely, the blessings of God must be believed and acted upon to be fully realized.
-
Speak Life: Align your speech with God's blessing; avoid cursing your own situation and instead speak the good word God has spoken over you.
-
Change Your View: If you do not like the spiritual or natural view of your life, use your faith and authority in Christ to change it rather than settling.
-
Prosper in Famine: Trust that because you are blessed, you can sow and reap abundance even when the economy or circumstances around you suggest otherwise.
