  John 10:10 – “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.”             In our study of the Scriptures, we learn that God desires to bless His children. Proverbs 10:22 says, “The blessing of the Lord makes one rich, and He adds no sorrow with it.” A blessed life will be an abundant life. To be blessed “speaks of our inner state of well-being, the prosperity of our souls in Christ. Blessedness comes from unhindered fellowship with God the Father through our Lord Jesus. To be blessed is to experience the full impact of God’s presence in our lives now and for all eternity.” [1] John 10:10 from the Message Bible reads, “A thief is only there to steal and kill and destroy. I came so they can have real and eternal life, more and better life than they ever dreamed of.” The New Living Translation says, “The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a r

  Hebrews 8:6 – “But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, inasmuch as He is also Mediator of a better covenant, which was established on better promises.”              We learn in our study of Hebrews that we have a better covenant which was established on better promises. Hebrews 7:22 says, “By so much more Jesus has become the surety of a better covenant.” The New Covenant is superior to the Old Covenant. Jesus is the mediator of better covenant which was established on better promises.             2 Peter 1:4 calls these promises, “exceedingly great and precious promises.” We can trust God to keep His promises because they are sealed by the highest authority, His Word. Jeremiah 1:12 from the NIV says, “The Lord said to me, You have seen correctly, for I am watching to see that word is fulfilled.”             We can trust God to keep His promises because of His character. Psalms 18:30 says, “As for God, his way is perfect: The word of the Lord is proven; He is a shield to a

Hebrews 6:14 – “saying, “Surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you.”                   In a recent time of prayer, the Lord instructed me to declare the word better over every part of my life. I have been decreeing and declaring better over my family, my finances, my ministry, and every part of my life. My prayer for you today is better.             God has the best for us. He longs to bless us. The follow Scriptures speak of God’s desire to bless us:      Psalms 89:1 – “I will sing of the mercies of the Lord forever; With my mouth will I make known Your faithfulness to all generations.”      Isaiah 44:3 – “For I will pour water on him who is thirsty, And floods on the dry ground; I will pour My Spirit on your descendants, And My blessing on your offspring;”       Psalms 34:8 – “Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him!”      Psalms 31:19 – “Oh, how great is Your goodness, Which You have laid up for those who fear You,
