Please make sure you have gone through the. first lesson of the Way of Blessing using the links I gave above. We will begin looking at the subject tonight in our weekly chat
But please make sure to take time to watch the first video
There is an anointing contained in the recording which will bless you
Awesome. This whole series is powerful and we are going to have a good time working through it
I have not yet put in all the videos for all the books
Will work on that shortly
I will also add audios for those who prefer to listen
Those of you who are registered as full students can also access all the videos in the school known as the School of Success. https://success.gbmi.co.za/
We working through that school at one time in our monday lessons
if you are a student and do not have access when logging in just let us know and we can make sure you are enrolled in that school
We will soon be changing our way of studying and you will be able to do just specific courses instead of a whole school
Just doing some reprogramming
We want to make this available to the public and allow them to purchase specific courses
But those who are registered as a students and pay monthly will be entitled to register freely for courses
Well we are offering the Way of Blessing freely now which should have an effect on your finances if you apply the principles
Then you will be able to afford anything you desire
Who is ready For some blessing?
Did you all get to watch the first lesson on Way of Blessing?
Good
Then get ready to be blessed
so only a half blessing for you then 😀
We have been watching the lessons at night instead of watching junk on TV
and I am really sparked afresh with the power of the series
I have told my story before but i want to remind you of the circumstances in which the original series was preached
We had been invited to go overseas by a relative who promised us great things financially
And at first he supported us each month while we were stuck in Mexico
Then suddenly he turned against us and cut off our monthly income
and we were left in a foreign land with no income
One of the things I tried to do to raise income was to preach into camera and then make audio tapes from the recordings
Which we then hoped to sell to the public at $4.00 per tape I think the going rate was at that time
But we did not have any real equipment to even make these
We would play the video recording and record that audio onto a little tape recorder
Then with two recorders connected together, we would make extra copies of a tape
and then had to put labels on them but we did not have a label printer
or real labels
So we printed onto normal paper, cut it out and glued it onto the tapes
This is how we began to try and create an income to live
Since we desperately needed to trust God for financial provision, I preached this series to help us build our own faith
and trust God to provide
All we had was a little camera we had bought and an old wireless microphone which was not the best quality
And we just set up a makeshift pulpit we made ourselves out of wood lying around
set it up in our living room and I began to preach into camera
You can see I often wore a floral shirt in front of a floral curtain
and an old plant that was there
And that is how our ministry started
We had to do something to try and create an income
We were in Mexico and the law was that you could not earn income in Mexico but had to bring in finance from outside
So we reached out. to the contacts we had made in the USA and other countries
Hoping to sell our audio tapes to make and income
I also hoped that by sending out emails with teaching folks would be prepared to support us with donations
But everyone claimed to have no money
So we began to preach some teachings on the Prophetic Ministry
and then suddenly some became interested
When we finally had 25 tapes in a series to provide, along with handmade printed folders, suddenly some of these people now had money
and so began our first prophetic school online
We needed some financial miracles so I began to preach a series based on some of the things God had been teaching me
And I decided to call it The Way of Blessing
Later, when I handed the ministry over to my eldest daughter, she took all my books with her and sold them for her own benefit, changing the who face of the ministry
When I tried to take back control of my own ministry my daughter and son in law refused as they were now using my materials to run their own ministry
So I decided to edit and republish my materials
And I changed the title to The New Way of Blessing. They were selling the original and I added some new materials and published a better version
But the original videos could not be repeated
They laid down the whole foundation
And even today, after I have learned so many new things, we still are using the originals
They contain a special anointing
The original teaching was split up into two books, because there were enough chapters to make two books
But later I add another new more practical section to the series
And we published a third book to the series
For 17 years we lived and survived in Mexico living and applying the principles in those teachings.
Until the time came when the Lord opened the way for us to return to our homeland
We have always considered the Way of Blessing our flagship
It was our starting point and the principles have worked for us so many times
Using them we not only survived in Mexico, but built up a lot of resources there
Eventually we had a binding machine to make our own books
and we made all our books in house
they were better quality than what you bought in the bookshops
Later we found we could publish them on Amazon and even have them print them on demand
But although the Way of Blessing was the. foundation of experiencing the blessing of God in life, and should have been a best seller, somehow it never sold that well
It was too complicated and folks wanted how to get rich in three easy steps
I was ready to let the series go and move on more with teachings on the Fivefold ministry
And I also added a newer concept called Tapping Your Inner Resources
But eventually I began to realize that the Way of Blessing still contains the best way to experience the blessing of the Lord for yourself personally
Whereas Tapping Your Inner resources led to the addition of ministry mantles, and how to tap the power of God for ministry to others
My original revelation of the WAy of Blessing came when I did a verse by verse study of the Book of Ephesians
It became my favority book and I learned to much by studing it in details
The first explosion took place when I read verse 3 of the first chapter
Ephesians 1:3 Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who blessed us with every spiritual blessing in [the] heavenly [realm] in Christ: [GBMV]
In this verse I saw the the blessing of God was given in a once only act
not something to be repeated over and over again
It was a past tense - a special greek tense called the Aorist which refers to a once off action
He gave us all the blessings that are available in heaven
So the big question was, why do we ask God for blessing when He has already given it?
I realized that He has potentially already given us every blessing we will ever need
But it is called a spiritual blessing
Four Spiritual Laws
There are four truths in this verse1. God has already blessed us
2. He has blessed us with every blessing heaven has to offer
3. These blessings were given spiritually
4. They can only be received in Christ
So they come when you receive Jesus as savior
The term spiritual blessings threw me at first
I need more than spiritual blessings
I need some tangible physical things in this lige
The Lord showed me that what this means is that the blessing were given in spiritual form
Then He showed me the power of spirit
All matter is made up on molecules - small pieces joined together
And molecules in turn are made up of the smallest piece of matter - atoms
But what are atoms made of?
They have shown that you can extract molecules and atoms
But if you go further and deeper all you get is pure energy
in the end all matter is made up of energy
Now what if you break down the energy further?
you will find out that matter was ultimately made out of spirit
Because of this, matter can contain spiritual essence
We all know the concept of how clothing from Paul was taken and laid on sick folks and they got healed
These days we still use prayer cloths
I have found that any object that spend times in close proximity to a person who is anointing, comes to contain some of that anointing
How can that be possible?
Because all matter is made up originally of spirit
When we read that God made everything out of nothing
that is not enrirely true
He made everything out of what He is - spirit
That is also why God can be present everywhere and in everything
So I presented what I considered standard laws of the Spirit
and we see these laws being used by God in creation
Here are the basic rules that always apply
1. Spirit is greater than the physical realm
2. Spiritual power is released using words
3. There must be a blueprint in the soul or the mind
4. The person who creates has full authority over their creation and can name it - the first evidence of copyright
Creation of Man
We are told that in the creation The Spirit of God hovered over the earthand when God spoke, that power went out to form the materials into something
This is not the original creation of Genesis 1:1
Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
There is a gap between those two verses
The earth was not originally made without form and voia
We read that in another Scripture passage
Isaiah 45:18 For thus says the LORD [Yahweh] that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he has established it, he did not create it without form, but he framed it to be inhabited: I [am] the LORD [Yahweh]; and [there is] none else. [GBMV]
But something happened between verse 1 and 2 of Genesis
Some believe it links with the fall of lucifer from heaven
we are told that he was cast down to the earth
So the earth was likely originally his domain
but God judged the earth
and it became without form as we read in verse 2
So the creation of the earth was not the original creation, but a recreation
God took the materials that were already there and reformed them into something new
The story of creation is actually a wonderful allegory of the spiritual life.
I heard someone preach this once and also did so myself but I do not know what I did with that original teaching
The state of the earth is like a person outside of Christ - groping around in darkness
And when a person is born again a new creation takes place
It is a wonderful picture
So the creation from verse 2 of Genesis is a recreation
Which involves, not making somehting out of nothing
But taking what is already there and reforming it into something different
This is a creative ability that exists in spiritual inflluence
A spirit can take something that is there and make it into something new
When God blessed us with all spiritual blessings He put into us if you like, all the spiritual essence that is needed to create every blessing that heaven has
So what is it that you need?
Do you need healing or good health?
You have the spiritual essence to create this inside of you
Do you need financial provision? It is inside of you
Do you need favor with other people - good relationships?
The essence to create this is already inside of you since you were born again
And you can create these things in the same way that God recreated the earth
you can take the materials that are already available
and convert them into the blessing you need
You do not have the power to create something out of nothing - only God can do that
But if this is needed, you do also have the Spirit of God working with you who can do this
But God has placed your whole future into your own hands
He said that what you bind on earth will be bound in heaven
What you release on earth will be released in heaven
But what do we do?
We cry out to the Lord in prayer, begging Him give us what He already gave us
We pray and then expect God to create the things we asked
But He has put that power in your hands - well, actually in your spirit
Let’s see how God created
With everything including the animals, God simply spoke of word of creationAnd when He did, the Holy Spirit moved in and made it happen
But with man it was different
With Adam He did two things
1. He made his body from the elements of the earth
2. He breathed His own life into that body
And a person was formed have a body, a spirit and a soul
in fact the third part - the soul became the main control tower in man
Genesis 2:7 And the LORD [Yahweh] God formed man [from] the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. [GBMV]
Often in SCripture a whole person is referred to as a soul
That is because the soul is the control tower, which combines the spirit and the body together
The soul is a vital part of our being
and we need to make use of it correctly to experience the blessing that was put into the spirit
We will learn later how to builld a template for the soul
Because what is in the spirit must be released outwards via the soul through the body into the world
There are in fact two ways that this power. can be released
The first is the one God used - words
The second was carried out by the Holy Spirit - action
When a person just stands there saying and doing nothing you have no idea of what is happening inside them
But the moment they speak, they reveal what is in their spirit
Word are amongs the most powerful forces in this world
They can be used to build up and destroy
That old saying is wrong which says, “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never harm me"
James tell us that the tongue is filled with poison that can destroy
but it can also be used to bless
But we have been trained by this world system under Satan to speak death rather than life
We use expressions like
It nearly killed me
I am scared to death
So often the first words that come out of our mouths are a curse rather than a blessing
and we wonder why there is no blessing in our lives
We will look later at how curses operate and you will find that they are often linked with words
The Scripture says that our tongues contain life or death
Proverbs 18:21 Death and life [are] in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. [KJV]
you may have asked, Why is the Lord not blessing me?
I am serving Him and praying to Him all the time
Yes but what is your mouth saying
Well it is just my luck, I will probably catch the covid19
We have negative expectations and reinforce these with our tongues
Do you know what you are doing?
You are telling your spirit to bring a curse on you and bad things
and your spirit often will obey willingly and make the very thing you do not want
Well there is a lot more involved than just speaking words
and we will be looking at this in a lot of detail
Let’s get back again the the power and authority of man
Man Has Full Control in the Earth
This right is given only to those parts of creation that have a body made from the earth and a spirit that comes from God.
Only mankind has both of these.
All the good things created by man that we use daily were made by humans
But humans have also created a lot of bad things
That is why the world is a mess - because God put man in charge of the earth
You muast grasp this truth and hold onto it if you wish to walk in blessing
Only a spirit living in physical body has this right and authority in the earth
The moment you die you lose you body and no longer have any ability to do anything in the earth
This is why demons seek to find someone in whom they can live
Then they take and use the power that is built into mankind
Before Satan could take control in the earth he had to persuade Adam and Eve to give him access.
They did this when they sinned
And we continue to do this every time we listen to his voice
And now every human being in the world make up a group known as “The World System” Which is controlled by and influenced by demon powers.
Another reason that the world is in a mess
Because Satan’s realm is a mess - He can only control his demons by force and with threats.
Something happens though When We are Born Again
The Holy Spirit comes to live inside us
Now we have access to God 24 hours a day
We now have far more than Adam had - he could only talk with God once a day
Jesus came to show us what we can be using both what we got from Adam and what we get directly from the Spirit of God
He told us that when He left we would do the same things as Him and even greater
His own disciples failed to do this
When they cried out in fear in the storm and woke Him up, He rebuked them for their lack of faith
Then, He showed them the authority they should have used by commanding the storm to be quiet.
The Great Commission
Before He ascdended to heaven he told all of His followers to go and preach the good news to the whole world
And He promised that they would do similar things to what He did
The key statement was-
These signs would follow those who believe
The word believe is key here because it links with an essential quality we need
That quality is Faith
It is the central most important force that comes from the spirit
Along with two other forces
and they all work together
Until you learn to harness the power of these spiritual forces
and then release them outwards into the world
they will lie dormant inside of you
And you will continue to cry out to the Lord to do something
Sometimes we think if we pray hard enough God will hear
Or we get as many other people to pray with us
perhaps many voices will get God’s attention
But in the end do you know what He will do?
He will point you to what he has already given you
Paul was facing a lot of spiritual attacks and he cried out to the Lord
asking God to take it away
2 Corinthians 12:8 For this thing I begged the Lord three times, that it might be removed from me. [GBMV]
But the Lord gave him a simple answer
2 Corinthians 12:9 And he said to me, My grace is sufficient for you: for my strength is brought to fullness through weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather boast in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may reside upon me. [GBMV]
His grace is enough
All we need to do is learn how to use it
Everything you need is already there inside you
But few believers know how to use it correctly
So they go through life struggling with bad health, bad finances and no favor with others
Crying out to the Lord and begging Him to do something will not work
He will point you to His grace - the blessing He already freely gave you
It is there inside of you in spiritual essence
you have a hope for the future
and you hold in your hands ..er your spirit
all the resources you will ever need to break free
If you do not use them, you could die with them
you could go poor with them
you could remain in obscurity with them
This gives us all hope
It is the will of the Lord for us to live a life of blessing
If you are not, then it was never His will for you to suffer
It is your fault for not using what He gave you
I want the whole world - at least the Body of Christ to know about the way of blessing
It will enable all believers to rise up and claim their inheritance
The Lord has lit a fire in me now to spread this truth far and wide
I am even offereing it freely, so that those who cannot afford to puchase the materials can still get hold of it
I know that as you apply the principles and break through the financial abundance
you will be gladly invest some of that back into this ministry\
To help us get this message out to the word
world
Let’s start a new movement
The Way of Blessing Movement
Lets turn this world upside down\
and show the world what God has given us as believers
So that they come running to us to find out how we did it
I personally am weary of struggling along trying to convince folks of these truths
I plan to make them work fully in my life now
so that everyone can see they are not just theory
but they work
Well this is an introduction to the Way of Blessing to get your stirred up and motivated
I plan to build up the momentum each week as we continue
The next lesson we will look at is the spiritual forces themselves
I will tell you which chapters to read and the link to the video lecture so that you can prepare for next week
But in the meantime if you really want to plow through all the principles
They have been published long ago in three volumes
You can order all three books from our bookshop here:
https://www.gbm-bookshop.com/product-detail/?product=251
or you can order the hard copies from Amazon if you have it in your country
If there is enough demand we can also have copies printed here for folks this side of the world
You can already read the first book online in GBM Books because I have made it available freely to everyone
Just go here and read freely
And I will be adding all the videos and audio files also along the way
Nex time we will look at the forces of the recreated spirit
so you can learn how they work and how to develop and amplify them
Have a wonderful week of blessing
and try putting some of these proinciples into action
soon we will all be speeding along a new highway called The Road of Blessing
At the end of this series you will learn how to go through a kind of birthing process
to bring everything together and apply the principles systematically
it is just like having a baby in the natural
also go through the way of Blessing Songs, because they contain all the principles
https://gbm-music.com/you-are-blessed/
These songs will help you remember all the principles
You will eventually find yourself singing them when you need a principle
