Blessed Life Fellowship

Tithing is a foundational Biblcal principle of generosity.  Yet there are other forms of giving the Bible commands.  This teaching examines those other forms of giving, as well as five blessing blockers that hinder the flow of blessing into the lives of even those who are already generous.  

Did you know that if your household makes $52,000 per year or more that you are in the top 0.28% of the world's richest people?  That's right.  At that income you are among the top wage earners in the world!  And Jesus said that to whom much is given, much will be required (Luke 12:48).  This teaching continues with the requirement of God's people in matters relating to money, in particular that of generosity.  

It has been said, "Show me your financial records and I'll show you what's important to you."  Jesus put it another way: "Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."  Money matters because how you handle it is a reflection on your heart, character, and level of love for the Kingdom of God.  Since Jesus spoke about money more than any other issue other than salvation itself, we, too, should be familiar with a Biblical perspective related to finances.  

In honor of the holiday celebrating the giving of thanks, we explore what power a life of thanksgiving has in positioning you for greater blessing in your life.  

DOES GOD CARE ABOUT POLITICS?  And should Christians be involved in the political process?  Many Christians pray for God's Kingdom to come, but they do so with an ESCAPIST MENTALITY, hoping that Jesus will come back and rescue them from the decay we see around us.  But Jesus told us to "OCCUPY" until He comes back, which means to be busy working advancing His Kingdom, bettering mankind, and effecting societies and, yes, even governments.  In the aftermath of the most historic Presidential election since Abraham Lincoln, Christians now have the opportunity to affect sociey in a way not seen since the Emancipation Proclamation, and we cannot blow this chance God has graciously given us.  This teaching explains a little of what our mindset should be going forward after the Presidential election.  

Guest speaker Tom Passo explaines the difference between power and authority, and the Believers' rights to both.  

Did you know the Word of God can make you smarter?  This teaching about the importance of prioritizing the Word of God in your life includes the testimony of someone who graduated in the lower one third of his high school class to now teaching biochemistry to doctors as a direct result of becoming an ardent student of the Bible.  The Word of God highly esteemed will help renew your mind, and in doing so help make you wise, knowledgable, discerning, and successful in dodging the land mines set by the enemy to destroy you.  

Have you ever hated a trait you have seen in your parents but then recognized that you act the same way?  This is most likely the result of inherited strongholds -- something that is passed down in the family DNA that can be very difficult to overcome.  But Jesus' life-giving power was designed to set us free from even generational strongholds.  This teaching helps you identify the inherited strongholds in your life and how to cut those off, unlocking instead the generational blessings in your family line.  

Being successful in your campaign against the kingdom of darkness will involve knowing your source of power.  One of those sources is knowing your God-given new identity in Christ, which will infuse you with confidence to overcome every demonic obstacle that comes against you.
