"Your father's blessings are greater than the blessings of the ancient mountains,"
"Surely you have granted him eternal blessings and made him glad with the joy of your presence."
How to understand the above?
How to feel and touch the heavenly Kingdom?what is exactly the Kingdom.... Am I crazy to ask these questions.....
Sorry for so many questions again
No, you are not crazy to ask so many questions. In fact, it may be a sign of greater sanity. (although I imagine you may not feel like it is)
Paul understood the difficulities we face as we learn how to walk by faith in the power of the Spirit.
But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. 8We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; 9persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.2Cor.4:7-9
We have been given "every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realm" (Eph.1:3). These blessings are "in Christ" and are made up of blessings for both time and eternity. We who are in Christ must develop the capacity for these blessings so that our lives can truly reflect His glory. This is a process of learning His truth and applying it to our lives. Forgetting those things that lie behind us and pressing on to the goal ahead. (Phil3:13)
Jesus said the road to life is "strict and narrow". He was not talking about simply becoming a Christian or going to heaven but the road for a Christian in this life on earth is strict and narrow if they want to experience the abundant life He came to give us. The life of real peace, joy and love. A life that is not found in our circumstances or our feelings, but is the very heart of who and what we are so that no matter what we face in this world we find our victory in Christ our constant companion.
The Christian life does not come about by some means of "magical thinking" or "wand waving" to make everything right. It is a walk of patient endurance, wherein we are constantly being transformed in our thinking by the Word of God as we daily learn from Him.
Do not be disheartened by what you may be feeling and do not worry about the things you do not understand. Instead, hold to those things you know in your heart to be true and stand firm upon them.
When you look at yourself and see areas where you lack? Do not see them as failures but as opportunities for the Lord to work in your life, bringing you into a deeper relationship with Him and thereby revealing to you (and indeed the world) that His grace truly is sufficient in our weaknesses.
Be at peace restore, the Lord is on your side and He never fails. Believe His word.
peace
