God Has Blessed Us With All Spiritual Blessings by djoguns: 5:56am On Jun 02, 2019
We learn that God has blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ at Eph. 1:3. This implies, non-carnal; non-human, ethereal blessing: supernaturally regenerate blessedness.

Looking closely at the transliteration, we see 'God has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in our heavenly union with Christ.' The 'us' implying the Apostles, saints and the faithful (here descriptive of the Christian) in Christ Jesus from verses 1&2.

We have assumed that this verse speaks of blessedness or certain heavenly blessings that have been divinely given to us in heaven, which we need to claim by confessions on the earth, ask from the Lord by intercessory petitions, recover from Satan who has stolen from us, or pray down by the 'power must change hands' spiritual protocol.

All and the 'very all' that we have of God in our union with Christ is called eternal life, as there is nothing else we could have been able to get from God, who has called us to his fullest glory and manifestation.

Whatsoever we have of redemption is ours already, and would not need to be gained or accessed by faith again, since we are in the faith of the Son of God, who loved us and gave himself for us. We got everything that God had to offer by the faith of eternal life. It is erroneous to say that the Christian needs faith to get what he got to be called a Christian. THE "FAITH MOVEMENT" PREACHES THIS CONFUSION. TRUTH IS THAT FOR BEING IN THE FAITH, YOU HAVE ALL CHRIST GAVE ALREADY, AND WOULD NOT NEED FAITH, FOR WHAT YOU ALREADY HAVE IN HIM.

THE "JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH" CONCEPT OF THE BIBLE ( Habb 2:2-4, Acts 10:38, Rom. 1:17, Gal 3:11, Phil 3:9) HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH EARTHLY PROVISIONS, OR "FAITH FOR THE GIVEN", RATHER, IT SAYS, THE JUSTIFIED MAN SHALL BE JUSTIFIED OR CALLED RIGHTEOUS BEFORE GOD, BY FAITH AND NOT WORKS OF THE LAW.

The blessing or blessings of Eph. 1:3 is eternal life, which came our way by salvation, and not some spiritual or physical wealth we would need to survive. There is no such thing as praying heavenly blessings down by faith. 'The just shall live by faith' concept of the bible has nothing to do with faith for food, and water to go by it, instead, it speaks of having life by the justification of faith and not works of the law based on human performance. Habb 2:4, Heb. 10:38 ..

The corruptible cannot inherit the incorruptible, and vice versa, so just in case, you succeed in praying heavenly blessings to earth, they would not work here, I cor. 15:50

See the verse in the context, since it does not end at verse 3..
Verse 4 further describes the blessings, by saying according as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world to be holy and without blame before him in love. Verse 5, having predestinated us into the adoption of children...in whom we have redemption...to verse 13 which lucidly describes our salvation...14 ..

According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life, even godliness..II Peter 1:3
So, spiritual blessings or blessing of Eph. 1:3 speaks of our salvation. Glory be to God.
We are blessed eternally...ameeeeen...
One of the greatest errors in the body of Christ today is the teaching that, the Christian could operate under a closed heaven, or that the Christian needs an opened heaven for God's blessings. I have not heard any other thing farther from the truth. How can the heaven of heavens that yielded its best, by the gift of eternal life for the Christian to be called one, be closed ever on the same Christian who dwells in this same heaven.

Christianity is ONLY heavenly procedure and operable faculty, and it is impossible to be a Chrisitian without heavenly recognition, identity, existence, citizenship and authority.

Child of God, you can never operate under closed heavens, and would never need the heavens to be opened for you again for eternity because, though you live physically on earth, you dwell in the heavenly of God through Christ.

...rescued from the power of darkness, even translated into the kingdom of the Son of his love...Col. 1:13
..risen with Christ, and seated at the right hand of God..Col 3:1
..our life is hid with Christ in God..Col 3:3
..quickened together with Christ, raised up together with him: made to seat in heavenly realm together with him...Eph 2:1,6
..buried with him in his death, raised with him into the newness of heavenly life...Rom 6:4
...died with him in his death, raised together with him in his resurrection...II cor 5:14-17
..we are in the spirit ...Rom 8:9
..we live in the spirit..Gal 5:25
...we belong to the family of God...Eph 3:15, Gal 6:10
...we inherited God in His entirety....Gal. 4:7, Rom 8:16..
Several churches and great church leaders preach this hypocritical lie, teaching that Christians need "opened heavens"....BUT YOU CAN TAKE A STAND FOR THE TRUTH TODAY.
