The junk in our lives has got to go. If we’re not free to receive God’s miracles, they can pass us by. We can’t go forward into His blessing when we’re filled with bitterness and resentment. And God holds us accountable to let go of the garbage that’s binding us and holding us back.
I believe that God wants us to have the blessing of Abraham, but it’s up to us to receive it. The blessing—which was given to Abraham in Genesis 12:1-3 and passed down through the generations—means absolutely nothing missing, nothing broken, the most blessed and most prosperous. It means increase in every dimension.
Wouldn’t you like to live with no sickness, no disease, no sorrow, no grief, no problems, no lack?
The Bible says in Deuteronomy 28:2-6 that when we keep all of God’s commandments, we will be blessed in every dimension as Abraham was. Abraham lived in abundance in every area of his life…in fact, the most abundance of anyone who had existed up to that time. Abraham knew that the secret to receiving God’s blessing was to obey Him (Hebrews 11:8). When Abraham heard God’s voice telling him what He wanted him to do, he obeyed. That’s a man of faith.
And faith is what God wants from us. Without even realizing it, many of us put our faith in our wallet, in our employer, in our friends. We forget that our faith should be in the One who hung on the Cross so that we could receive the blessing of Abraham.
Today the blessing of Abraham is ours. Galatians 3:9 NLT says, All who put their faith in Christ share the same blessing Abraham received because of his faith.
What is binding you today? What in your life started out as harmless, and now has become like layers upon layers of plastic wrapped around your soul? It’s time to let it go! Begin to peel off those layers with the Word of God and and with prayer. And when you’re free, begin getting into position to receive the wonderful blessings that I believe God has waiting for you!
