1. Receive by Robert Woeger
God desires you to faithfully distribute His Provision to those in need. This applies to spiritual blessings
and to financial blessings. You need to properly receive and be filled from God before you can give to others.
Few Christians can properly bless others, if they are occupied with providing for their own needs and wants.
“In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.” 1 Thessalonians 5:18.
As a Christian, you are entitled to all spiritual blessings through Jesus Christ. You must learn how to receive
by faith all things that Christ has already provided for you. “Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man
draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.” Hebrews 10:38. See also Habakkuk 2:4, Romans 1:17.
“But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that
he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.” Hebrews 11:6. “...yet ye have not, because ye ask not. Ye
ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.” James 4:2-3. “Blessed
be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly
places in Christ: According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should
be holy and without blame before him in love:” “...together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) And hath
raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:” Ephesians 1:3-4, 2:5-6.
“...let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the
race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set
before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.”
Hebrews 12:1-2. “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” Philippians 4:13. “Therefore
I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have
them.” Mark 11:24. Faith is seeing things before you receive them. It is putting all your confidence in God.
“But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe
on his name:” John 1:12. You receive Christ when you believe on Him. You receive from Him to the measure
that you believe in His Ability, to faithfully perform a thing. “...According to your faith be it unto you.”
Matthew 9:29. “Jesus said...If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.” Mark 9:23.
“For with God nothing shall be impossible.” “...The things which are impossible with men are possible with
God.” Luke 1:37,18:27. “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine
heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto
righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” Romans 10:9-10. Believe and receive.
The Kingdom Of God operates on this believe then receive law. You must ask, believe, and receive by faith.
The believe area is where the enemy attacks the most, to get you to doubt or deny your faith in God’s Ability.
You must patiently endure, maintaining faith in God. “Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we
confidence toward God. And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments,
and do those things that are pleasing in his sight. And this is his commandment, That we should believe
on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.” 1 John 3:21-23.
“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Hebrews 11:1. You are to
overcome the world by your faith, and call the things which are not as though they are. See Romans 4:16-17.
“For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world,
even our faith. Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?”
1 John 5:4-5. God is faithful to every one of His Promises! Receive every promise, patiently awaiting for the
manifestation of the promise, not allowing anyone or anything to change your mind about God’s Faithfulness
to fulfill His Promise. See Philippians 1:6. Build up faith. “But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For
he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that
he shall receive any thing of the Lord.” James 1:6-7. Receive all things from God through Jesus Christ!
