Blessed Through Meditating on the Gospel
“Blessed is the man who doesn’t walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand on the path of sinners, nor sit in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in Yahweh’s law. On his law he meditates day and night. He will be like a tree planted by the streams of water, that produces its fruit in its season, whose leaf also does not wither. Whatever he does shall prosper. The wicked are not so, but are like the chaff which the wind drives away.” (Psalms 1:1-4 WEB)
Planted by the streams of water: well-supplied and nourished in every way.
Produces fruit in its season: doing the right thing at the right time.
Leaf does not wither: staying healthy and young.
Whatever he does shall prosper: things are constantly being turned around for your good—rigged for your success.
Do you want to be like the tree in the passage above?
The key is to meditate day and night on God’s law.
“There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who don’t walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death.” (Romans 8:1-2 WEB)
Under the New Covenant of Grace, we are no longer under the law of sin and death (the Old Covenant with the Ten Commandments), but we are now under the law of the Spirit of life that is in Christ Jesus.
We follow the Holy Spirit who gives us the desire and ability to do God’s will.
In other words, we are to meditate on the New Covenant of Grace and everything it entails for us.
Let the Gospel of Grace and Peace be your delight.
No one should have to force you to enjoy the life-giving Scriptures.
Do you want to prosper in all things, be healthy, even as your soul prospers? Then meditate on the Gospel.
Let your mind mull over the revelations about Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit will show you more about Jesus as you focus on Him.
“But we all, with unveiled face seeing the glory of the Lord as in a mirror, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord, the Spirit.” (2 Corinthians 3:18 WEB)
God’s word is like a mirror because when you see Jesus in the Scriptures, you are actually looking at how you are really like in the spirit.
As your understanding is broadened and you receive more light, you become transformed into Jesus’ image, from glory to glory—your outward man will align with the inward righteous spirit who is full of life.
Yes, the Scriptures say to do this “day and night”, not only once a week for an hour-long sermon while playing with your distracting smartphone.
If you take this word seriously, you will see life-changing results very soon. Be a doer of the word, not a hearer only. Meditate on the Gospel!
Did you know that Jesus is forever young, healthy, strong, and beautiful? As you see this and many other revelations clearly, you will be transformed into the same image.

Fruitfulness Through the Holy Spirit
“He said therefore, “A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return. He called ten servants of his, and gave them ten mina coins, and told them, ‘Conduct business until I come.’ But his citizens hated him, and sent an envoy after him, saying, ‘We don’t want this man to reign over us.’ “When he had come back again, having received the kingdom, he commanded these servants, to whom he had given the money, to be called to him, that he might know what they had gained by conducting business. The first came before him, saying, ‘Lord, your mina has made ten more minas.’ “He said to him, ‘Well done, you good servant! Because you were found faithful with very little, you shall have authority over ten cities.’ “The second came, saying, ‘Your mina, Lord, has made five minas.’ “So he said to him, ‘And you are to be over five cities.’” (Luke 19:12-19 WEB)
It seems like with every passing day, we are so much nearer to the time of Jesus’ return.
Yet, the Lord does not want us to be idle just because we sense His impending return.
He wants us to bear good fruit through the Holy Spirit that we have received.
The world needs to hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and experience the power of the Holy Spirit who resides in us.
Did you notice how each of the ten servants received the same amount of one mina?
The mina being the same, could represent the same Holy Spirit that every believer receives upon salvation.
The first servant’s mina gained ten more minas, whereas the second servant’s mina gained five more minas.
I like how the servants gave credit to the mina for the gain, and did not draw attention to themselves.
It is like wisely recognizing that fruitfulness is not by strength, not by power, but by the Spirit of the Lord.
The first servant’s reward was in proportion with the results he produced through the mina. For gaining ten minas, he received authority over ten cities. For gaining five minas, the second servant received authority over five cities.
All ten servants each received one mina initially, but their rewards were different, depending on their end results.
This shows that salvation is the same for all believers who place their faith in Jesus as Lord, but our eternal rewards will be measured based on our good works.
““Behold, I come quickly. My reward is with me, to repay to each man according to his work.” (Revelation 22:12 WEB)
Good works come in many forms, and generally anything done for Abba God and Jesus with faith, hope, and love, are considered good works.
The Lord Jesus is your Rewarder. Are you ready to received authority over cities and other spheres of His kingdom during the Millennium and beyond?
Learn all about eternal rewards and how to maximize them, in my debut book “Sandcastles Don’t Last Forever”. It is truly a relevant read for this end-time generation. Allow the Holy Spirit to show you revelations of what awaits us beyond this mortal life, and the true riches in glory that will be given to believers who wisely make preparations now: http://bit.ly/sandcastlesdontlastforever

The Three Groanings
“For the creation was subjected to vanity, not of its own will, but because of him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of decay into the liberty of the glory of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groans and travails in pain together until now. Not only so, but ourselves also, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for adoption, the redemption of our body. For we were saved in hope, but hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for that which he sees? But if we hope for that which we don’t see, we wait for it with patience. In the same way, the Spirit also helps our weaknesses, for we don’t know how to pray as we ought. But the Spirit himself makes intercession for us with groanings which can’t be uttered. He who searches the hearts knows what is on the Spirit’s mind, because he makes intercession for the saints according to God.” (Romans 8:20-27 WEB)
Firstly, the whole creation is groaning due to the fall that happened when Adam sinned. Sin brought death into the world, and death is producing all these groanings that show that creation is suffering.
God never designed for animals to harm man, and insects (such as mosquitoes) never bit Adam and Eve in the garden. Every creature, including man, was herbivorous, eating plants and fruits.
“God said, “Behold, I have given you every herb yielding seed, which is on the surface of all the earth, and every tree, which bears fruit yielding seed. It will be your food. To every animal of the earth, and to every bird of the sky, and to everything that creeps on the earth, in which there is life, I have given every green herb for food;” and it was so.” (Genesis 1:29-30 WEB)
After Adam, the appointed ruler of earth, ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil against God’s command, that sin caused all of Adam’s subjects and kingdom to experience death and fall under a curse.
Ever since, the earth has been groaning, suffering from the effects of sin. Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, hurricanes—these are some manifestations of the earth’s groans.
Animals, insects, and birds attacking humans, plants producing poisons, these are also part of creation’s groans.
Secondly, we believers who have the indwelling Holy Spirit groan because we feel all the limitations and imperfections of this mortal body that has been corrupted by sin.
We who know about the Rapture eagerly long for the redemption of our body. Imagine a body that can never die or be destroyed. It never feels suffering, tiredness, or weakness, and can appear and disappear at will, traveling across the world in an instant, passing through solid objects at ease if needed to. This are just some of the amazing capabilities of the glorified body that is promised to us. Jesus demonstrated these after He rose from the dead.
God knows that we are groaning within, and that the sinful flesh makes us limited and weak at times. Our spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak. To combat this, God gave us the greatest gift after Jesus’ ascension: the indwelling Holy Spirit.
The Spirit prays for the solutions to our most urgent needs that even we are unaware of, and He does so through groans that cannot be uttered.
Even though the Spirit does not pray with intelligible words, Abba God knows what is in the Spirit’s mind, and He takes that as perfect prayer in accordance with His own will.
These are the three groanings. The first came because of sin, the second because of patiently waiting for the final part of redemption, and the third is God’s gracious help to us while we are still waiting.
How wonderful it is to know that the Holy Spirit is offering up perfect prayers for you, even when you do not know the right things to pray for.
“Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, yes rather, who was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.” (Romans 8:34 WEB)
In the same chapter, we find that Jesus who is in Heaven is also praying for us.
We have the Holy Spirit praying for us from earth, and we have Jesus praying for us from Heaven. This is according to Abba God’s will, and it is perfect.
“What then shall we say about these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who didn’t spare his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how would he not also with him freely give us all things?” (Romans 8:31-32 WEB)
The triune God is for you, not against you. The world was corrupted by sin, but God’s heart is not to destroy or condemn the world, but to save it.
He has already provided the perfect atonement through the blood that Jesus shed at the cross. God is using all His power to give you a glorious future, so put your faith in Him!
You don’t have to feel helpless or afraid…God has given you powerful spiritual weapons to use in spiritual warfare. In “Silencing the Serpent”, you will discover what these weapons are, what the enemy’s tactics are, and how you can break free from longtime addictions, bondages, and unhelpful beliefs: https://bit.ly/silence-the-serpent-now
