Simply Blessed

Simply Blessed
Intro: We are chosen and blessed by God because He wanted to.
The blessing that God has placed on us covers every aspect of life.
We are simply blessed because we have faith in Jesus and what He did as He lived on earth and what He did in dying on the cross and then rising from the grave.
It’s not a matter of will He bless us as we are blessed
No man, no woman, no corporation and no demon can stop the blessing
God has spoken it and He has determined that we are blessed.
Aim: That we agree with God and that we begin to life out the blessing

16. and said: "By Myself I have sworn, says the LORD, because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son-

Part 2
John 1:10-13
10. He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him.
11. He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him.
12. But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name:
13. who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
Galatians 3:26-29
Sons and Heirs
26. For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.
27. For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
28. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
29. And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
Ephesians 1:3-6
Redemption in Christ
3. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,
4. just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love,
5. having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will,
6. to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved.
Conclusion

13. Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, "Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree"),
