Love you all, praying for you.
 
Everything God will do – will come from His Word.  What He spoke, He will surely bring to pass.  God revealing recently.  Psalms 115:12  You who fear the LORD, trust in the LORD, he is their help and shield.  The LORD remembers us and will bless us; he will bless the house of Israel, he will bless the house of Aaron, he will bless those who fear the LORD, both small and great.  May the LORD make you increase, both you and your children, may you be blessed by the LORD, the maker of heaven and earth.       The whole truth is sometimes uncomfortable – but necessary.  God is good – He has good for you – He promises it!  But some people assume they qualify for things God gives preconditions to.  His love is unconditional, but his favor is not.  He doesn’t play favorites… but He favors those who fear Him.  Ignorers don’t get the same favor as obeyers.  That’s why PiVAT to obey with time, PRISM to obey with your mind, 4C’s to obey with money, and your Daily Call – to obey in your overcoming are so important.  The more you obey, the more blessing follows.  The more quickly you obey, the more quickly the blessing that follows can come.  The blessing of God does not guarantee the absence of discomfort.  Jesus said, in this world you will have trouble – but be of good cheer (take courage) I have overcome the world.  Blessing is not always monetary – in fact those who equate or desire only monetary gain cannot qualify for the blessing God gives.  They love money, not God, and God says you cannot love both (Matthew 6:24)  it’s one of the other.  To bless – is God’s benefiting us abundantly altogether, greatly, indeed, to make happy, to make successful, to make to prosper.  He blesses the house of Israel (from Strong’s Concordance H3478 – Israel < yis-raw-ale’>  “he will rule as God.") The house of Israel is where he rules as God – what better name could God have for his people?  Where He rules as God - His people - are  Obeyers – those who follow His commands, who operate by His principles who honor Him and treat others according to His precepts.  These He will bless.  Those who fear him both small and great, who turn from evil, tremble in His presence, who obey fully, say nothing harmful to others, who seek peace and pursue it… this is the Fear of the LORD, these are the ones whom God will bless.  (See the Fear of the LORD Packet – and the PRISM Topic – You Are Not Fearing God For Nothing).  And to these people – where He rules as God – David says may the LORD make you increase (this is in the NIV) but the King James says -  “The LORD shall increase you more and more.  You are blessed of the LORD – the maker of heaven and earth.”  I could bless you – and that might encourage you a little, but when the Great I Am, blesses you the Maker of Heaven and Earth – the Creator, Controller, and Sustainer of every life and created thing in the Universe – The LORD – the Supreme Authority in all of existence – when He blesses you – you are blessed.  There is the blessing that comes to everyone – “rain falls on the just and the unjust” but there is the blessing that comes to those who fear Him, who love and obey Him, who are led by His Holy Spirit, who love others as He does.  To these, verse 14 says – The LORD will increase you more and more – you and your children.  Increase – yasaph <yaw-saf’> to add or augment – to continue to do a thing, to conceive again and again, continue, exceed, get more and more, proceed further, prolong, be stronger.  This is an increase that never stops for those who fear the LORD – God gives Increase!  Not in just the narrow temporal monetary sense, that can come and go, this is the complete, all surrounding, never ending, always increasing in totality sense.  Blessing and increase in heart, mind, soul and body, in wisdom and understanding, favor and provision, in the field, in the house, and in the womb, at the city gate, in relationships and accomplishments, in peace and prosperity of spirit, mind, body and soul – in good times and hard times.  This is the increase of those where He rules as God, obeyers, worshippers, those who put His desires above their own, who conform their mind and heart to His.  Who give their lives to Him, their time, their mind, their money, their affection.  Praying that PiVAT & PRISM, your 4C’s and your Daily Call – are completely consuming your life in the obedience of the One whose plans for you will prosper you, will bless you – and will give you a never ending increase in every good thing that He has for your good – to bring glory to Jesus – and draw others to Him! 
 
Love you all,
