Your blessings are predicated on God’s goodness, but you have to position yourself spiritually to enjoy.

Ephesians 3:14-19;Ephesians 1:3-14;Revelation 2:2-4

Dear Friend,
Irrespective of your background you are blessed when you come to know Christ as your Lord and Savior. When you are born again you are born blessed. According to Ephesians chapter 1 verse 3,The God and father of our Lord Jesus Christ has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in heavenly places in Christ. God has made available for you every thing that pertains to abundant living and godliness.
From eternity past we have been blessed with every spiritual blessing in heavenly place s and not on earth. This means that not even the devil can go back in time to stop your blessings. No amount of disruption in this natural world will be able to hinder those blessings. And as mentioned before ,you can only access these blessing for as long as you are connected to Christ.
Regardless of what you are dealing with , God the father chose you as qualified for the blessing before the foundations of the world. He made you have right standing with Him . Jesus redeemed you through shedding His own blood on the cross. And you have the seal of the Holy Spirit which is your guarantee that you are blessed.
There is only one thing that backs you out of enjoying the blessings and that is you. You do not have to back out! Since the blessings are spiritual blessings to start with, you need to focus on being strengthened with might in your spirit so you can be spiritually alert to hear His voice and direction ,to enable you walk in the path that leads to the blessings..Studying and obeying the word is one way to follow His leading.
Having an in-depth understanding of the following point s will help us too;
We are Chosen-God Salvaged us when were wretched ,broke and messed up because of His love and grace.
We are Sons through adoption -He purposely went after us in order for us to inherit all that He possesses.
We are accepted in the beloved-He loves us as much as He loves Jesus. And His Love towards us is forever.
We are Redeemed- Jesus paid the penalty for sin and delivered us from the devil’s wringer.
We are forgiven- He has forgiven us our sins and does not hold it against us any more.
He always forgives when we repent.
We have an abundance of wisdom & prudence-We are able to see God in everything.
We know God’s will-His Spirit confirms His will to us.
