\u00a0<\/span>Isaiah 43:7<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0everyone who is called by my name, whom I created for my glory, whom I formed and made.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/span>Jeremiah 14:9<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0Why should you be like a man confused, like a mighty warrior who cannot save? Yet you, O LORD, are in the midst of us, and we are called by your name; do not leave us.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/span>Daniel 9:18-19<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0O my God, incline your ear and hear. Open your eyes and see our desolations, and the city that is called by your name. For we do not present our pleas before you because of our righteousness, but because of your great mercy.\u00a0\u00a0O Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive. O Lord, pay attention and act. Delay not, for your own sake, O my God, because your city and your people are called by your name.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/span>Numbers 23:20<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0Behold, I received a command to bless: he has blessed, and I cannot revoke it.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/span>Psalms 5:12<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>For you bless the righteous, O LORD; you cover him with favor as with a shield.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>Ephesians 1:3<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places,<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Aaron was commanded to pronounce this blessing over the people of Israel \u2013 not over the other nations. Though God blesses all mankind, there is a definite and strong sense in which He has blessing\u00a0only\u00a0for His people. We have to join ourselves to Him to gain that blessing. To be blessed by God is to have His\u00a0name on<\/b>\u00a0you \u2013 to be identified with who He is and all His nature. This was a great gift, to have God\u2019s name upon us. (Guzik)<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u201cWhen God saith, \u2018I will,\u2019 all the devils in hell cannot turn aside the blessing, and all the ages of eternity cannot change the King\u2019s word. The Lord has blessed his people, and he would have them know it. He has blessed them with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ Jesus, and it is his wish that they should experience the fullness of this blessedness. Are any of the Lord\u2019s people without a sense of this blessing? It is not the will of God that you should continue in this low condition.\u201d (Spurgeon)<\/p>\n
I will bless them; really and truly bless them bless them with blessings indeed; with all sorts of blessings temporal and spiritual; with solid and substantial ones; and such are blessed, and will remain so, these blessings are irrevocable and irreversible. Unless the Lord blesses, the blessings are in vain. (Gill)<\/p>\n
How is a person to receive blessings from the Lord when their heart and mind are fixed on things of this world? Doesn\u2019t God\u2019s Word say that He will turn His face from those who harden their hearts and minds? How many seek the blessing from God but are only giving Him lip service and their hearts and minds are far from desiring to honor and glorify Jesus Christ?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
Sometimes God\u2019s blessings are tangible; jobs, financial, relational, and material, but I can think of no greater blessing God can give to man than wisdom and understanding of who He is and His holiness, grace, and mercy in the light of our sin and sinfulness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
