Gen 49:22 — Gen 49:26
“Joseph is a fruitful bough,
a fruitful bough by a spring;
his branches run over the wall.
The archers bitterly attacked him,
shot at him, and harassed him severely,
yet his bow remained unmoved;
his arms were made agile
by the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob
(from there is the Shepherd, the Stone of Israel),
by the God of your father who will help you,
by the Almighty who will bless you
with blessings of heaven above,
blessings of the deep that crouches beneath,
blessings of the breasts and of the womb.
The blessings of your father are mighty beyond the blessings of my parents,
up to the bounties of the everlasting hills.
May they be on the head of Joseph,
and on the brow of him who was set apart from his brothers.
He will turn what was intended for evil into destiny.
After one of my closest friends passed away in February 2021, Abba confronted my idea of blessing.
He showed me that I unconsciously believed that when I obey Him, I will be blessed.
That sounds about right, doesn’t it?
The problem with this belief is that if you are blessed for being obedient, you will also be punished for being disobedient. Fear, unfortunately, then starts driving obedience which then removes love out of the equation.
We then start to allow the spirit of religion to reign because it motivates expecting blessings when obedient.
Abba taught me that blessing is an add-on He loves to give because we are His, while obedience is a fruit of choosing to follow Jesus.
Abba renewed my view to see how blessing is something that is given uniquely. It will be different for each person and what I understand partially now, is that it enhances, prevails, or nourishes my life. It is not materialistic, that is a fruit of His grace. Blessings positions and enables me to BE HIS poetry and fulfill my destiny.
The words ‘gird your loins’ partnered with this design called Blessing, and I think it is because I learned to allow Abba to transform the arrows aimed for evil, into destiny this past year. It was initially difficult to stop believing that obedience brings blessing. In believing that blessings must be earned, I struggled to accept and enjoy His blessings for a while. Now, praise be to Abba, I can enjoy His blessings and have zero expectations when I am obedient. I am grateful that His mercy is new every morning.
The Blessing pattern represents His unique version on the inside of us to endure His plan for us, knowing He will turn what was aimed for evil into destiny. It is when we are in the dark well we need to choose to believe that He is busy creating and in allowing this process, we will be fruitful.
I praise Abba that He blessed me to have Liesel as a close friend, she is one of the greatest blessings in my life. Because of her, I am able to allow Abba to do many things in His Kingdom. His unique version on the inside of her was a well of living water. Thanks to having Liesel in my life, this pattern was born end of 2020.
