BLESSING NOT MOUTH

Proverbs 11:11
By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted, but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked. AKJV

Blessings or to be called blessed is to have life cultivated in accordance with the blessing. Considering the beatitudes in Matt 5:1-13, it is clear that everyone the Lord pronounced blessed have something commensurate to the life of the blessing. For instance, "Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy". Receiving mercy is not by asking but by being merciful. Rom 9:16

The blessing of Isaac rested on Jacob, even though their father Isaac sensed he had been deceived but could not resist the order to bless, because Jacob had the life needful for the blessing. But Esau was found wanting, the spot of his life for the blessing was already sold out. Though he wept bitterly to be blessed by his beloved father Isaac who'd loved his venison, all he got was a curse - "the reserved blessing".

On the other hand, the wicked don't need a life to destroy anything or overthrow something. They're like weeds needing no effort or monitoring nor any supervision. All they do is to talk! Whereas, it takes hard work to attain to blessedness, it requires no work to be wicked - just to talk. These are ones the Lord pronounced woes on in Matt 23. How do you read it?

Ten Words At Calvary.mp3 audio download HEBREWS 1:1-14 God, having in the past spoken to the fathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways,  2  has at the end of these days spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the worlds.  3  His Son is the radiance of his glory, the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, who, when he had by himself purified us of our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high,  4 having become as much better than the angels as the more excellent name he has inherited is better than theirs.  5  For to which of the angels did he say at any time, “You are my Son. Today I have become your father?” and again, “I will be to him a Father, and he will be to me a Son?” 6  When he again brings in the firstborn into the world he says, “Let all the angels of God worship him.”  7  Of the angels he sa...

Do not turn to the right or the left, remove your foot from evil. Proverbs 4:27 NKJV Day 4, Right Or Left.mp3 DAY 4, RIGHT OR LEFT The Lord gave a similar command or statement when He was commissioning Joshua. Jos 1:7 says, " Only be strong and very courageous that you may observe to do according to all the law which Moses my servant commanded you, do not turn from it to the right hand or the left, that you may prosper wherever you go ". Doing the will of God, the righteousness of God is not about the rights or wrongs, not turning the left or the right but simply doing the will of the Father. Isaiah 30:21 says, " Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, This is the way, walk in it, whenever you turn to the right hand or whenever you turn to the left" .
