2 Corinthians 1:20

For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us. (2 Corinthians 1:20)

Every promise -- old or new testament -- is yes in Christ. Blessed be God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with all the spiritual blessings of heaven in Christ.While God's blessing may be in spiritual form, as we appropriate it by faith it will be manifest physically on earth. I praise God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ because He sent Christ to bless us. And Christ has blessed us with heaven's every blessing. One translation of this verse says "has blessed us with every blessing that Heaven itself enjoys." The idea is that God gave His best -- without holding back any good thing from us. He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? God gave His best when He gave us Jesus. What does God's best cover? Everything!  By his divine power, God has given us everything we need for
living a godly life. We have received all of this by coming to know him, the one who called us to himself by means of his marvelous glory and excellence.  Do you really believe it is God's will for any of His children who love Him to be poor and lack basic necessities? If you do, you don't know God very well.

Then why are so many believers struggling with so many unmet needs? There may be many reasons, but the primary one is not knowing the will of God in the matter. If we don't know God's will, we can't have faith. Without
faith, we will not receive God's blessing.
