Bless has two different meanings depending on WHO is Blessing.
barak (ba- rack') - [H1288] is a verb or action word that means
act of adoration if we are blessing God
to benefit or "favor" humanity if God blesses us
barak (ba- rack') - [H1288] is a verb or action word that means
act of adoration if we are blessing God
to benefit or "favor" humanity if God blesses us
Therefore, if we are to Count the Blessings from God, we are tallying God's favor or benefit that we see in our lives
Lesson: if we count our blessing on what we see or experience then we may be awfully wrong and change course that leads to NO favor.
Lesson: Don't try to help God's purpose or prophesy in your life come true. That can lead to disastrous effects. Just follow God, have faith in Christ, and let the Holy Spirit lead you through this preparation period called "Life".
Abraham's blessing affected and touched the entire earth. But around 470 BC there was a women whose blessings of beauty saved a nation.
ESTHER

In 722 BC, the Northern Kingdom of Israel, centered in Damascus, was captured by the Assyrians. These are the 10 lost tribes of Israel.They are lost until this day! In 587 BC, the Babylonians invaded Jerusalem and exiled the people for 70 years. Only a remnant returned. This book is written among this backdrop before Ezra returns to Jerusalem from Exile.


Susa, Iran Today
Susa, was a fertile and rich development of what is now Iran, near the border of Iran/Iraq/Kuwait. It's origins date back at least until 6000 BC.
Queen Vashti, wife of Xerxes, King of Persia disrespects the King when he wnts to show his good fortune.
Xerxes decides to take another wife, opening up a great blessing and opportunity for some fortunate woman.
Surely it is not a blessing for a young woman to have lost her parents, so from one point of view Esther may not have thought that her blessings were that great; however, her cousin took her in and cared for her as his own daughter. In such times death was a very real part of every life. She WAS blessed by her cousin!
Esther is blessed beyond measure, but keeping a dark secret!
Esther's cousin/Dad Mordecai uncovers a conspiracy to murder King Xerxes. Esther tells the King and credits Mordecai.
One of the nobles is elevated above all the nobles and he is areal ego maniacal , self-indulged, stuffed-shirt who loves for people to bow to him. We see where this is going right?
Haman decides that this is a good way to rid the Kingdom of all of the Jews in the Persian Empire. The word Pur means "lot". Haman casts lots on which month and day this deed will be done. Haman lies to Xerxes to get him to give him the okay.
Mordecai goes to Esther for help! Esther uses her favor with the King and Haman's egocentric ways to place Haman against his own word! God's wisdom and favor is upon Esther and THIS is called a blessing!
The tables are turned on the enemy of the Jews.
Judaism still celebrate Purim to this day!
Esther's luck did not look that good as a young girl, but when God gives you His favor, no one can stand in your way.
The Only thing that defeats evil is LOVE. Evil begets evil and this is why two wrong will NEVER make a right! Use Love and count the Blessing

FOUNDATIONAL SUMMARY
1. God is the Eternal Creator
2. God exists in 3 persons, 1 Common Divine Nature (CDN) – The Trinity - God the Father (Creator/Mastermind), God the Son, Yeshua Hamashiach (Hebrew) (Jesus [of Nazareth] The Christ) (Manager/Administrator/High Priest/King), God the Spirit (Discerning Presence)
3. Truth is Eternal and therefore NEVER changes.
4. God is Omni-benevolent - ALL GOOD
5. God is Omniscient - ALL KNOWING
6. God is Omnipotent - ALL POWERFUL
7. The Bible is therefore the WORD of God and it is never wrong and it never fails. So, the Bible is the standard for the Christian. If we have no standard comparison is pointless and impossible.
8. The Law of Opposites demands that Good is defined as the opposite of Evil. Where 1 is the other MUST exist by definition
9. The Law Opposites therefore introduces the Law of Free Agency
10. The Law of Free Agency demands a choice so the Law of Justice must also be present.
11.Satan (and his demons) has no material being so he must possess the material to be seen as material.
12. Mercy (not getting what you deserve) is eternal since God is good, but God is just, so mercy cannot rob justice!
13. God had to find another way to develop (teach) His creation after innocence was compromised and redeem them back to Himself, without changing His WORD! - The Plan of Salvation
14.God the Son, Yeshua Hamashiach (Hebrew) (Jesus [of Nazareth] The Christ) is our example and Advocate to the Father via the Holy Spirit.

THE MOVING MIRACLE SUMMARY
1. A Prophet or Seer is a person regarded as an inspired teacher or proclaimer of the will of God.
2. God often obscured Truths from His creation (mystery) to protect them from "knowing the Truth" in our humanity (fallen state).
3. The Law of Moses can be summarized as "righteousness by self".
4. The Levitical law over 600 commandments classified humanity into three states - unclean, clean, and holy.
5. Under the Law, only "unintentional" sin was forgivable! Intentional sin (sin done after "knowing" God's TRUTH (Light), was unforgivable.
6. Therefore, mystery was necessary to protect humanity from becoming irredeemable!
7. Prophecies were obscured in mystery to put Truth in the open where only those "enlightened" could grasp its concepts!
8. Hope is a wish that can lead to the feeling of belief that when nurtured leads to the confirmation of trust and a choice, which produces the motive force of Faith!
9. Faith is further increased by exercising and testing it.
10. Seeing isn't believing....Believing IS seeing!
11. Signs and wonders are indicators that appeal to our human senses and bring us in remembrance of some spiritual Truth.
12. Signs and wonders are mysteries to the carnal (human) senses. They display Truth to the believer without revealing themselves to the unbeliever.
13. God shows His faith and trust in signs and wonders.
14. When we, as humans, seek a sign as proof of Truth, we show our lack of faith and trust.
15. A miracle is a sign of spiritual authority that overwhelms the natural or carnal senses, but it is commonplace to the spiritual senses.
16. No matter what church, denomination, or group to which the Christian is attached, communion is the Fire of the Spirit that brings us ALL into one faith, one Lord, one baptism and becomes the basis of sanctification of the Church of Jesus the Christ.
17. Communion should therefore be performed as often as possible, daily is our suggestion.
18. Satan wants us to be complacent about communion because He knows how powerful it is to keep faith focused to the point of intimacy.
19. Humans are the Lord's prize possession being made in Their image both in form and in attributes and character, So all humanity is worthy of honor and respect and were made to be rulers over all God's creation.
20. Love is the main attribute of God that brings all other attributes in perfect unity.
21. Communion is much more than just remembering the salvific (saving) sacrifice of Jesus of Nazareth. It is also the Plan by which the Father draws his converts into an intimate relationship with His Son.
22. We as humans are God's Moving Miracle because faith is a motive force and we use faith to overwhelm the carnal senses in order to bring others in remembrance of the spiritual Truth that Jesus of Nazareth, the Christ is Lord.

SIX REASONS FOR CONSTANT COMMUNION
1. It was a plain command from Jesus the Christ to have communion
2. The benefits to those doing daily communion is so great that it is a disadvantage not to have communion daily
3. “The grace of God gives and confirms the pardon of our sins, enabling us to leave them” (Be Bold. Believe. The Miracle of CommunionFire, p 170)
4. Communicating with God using communion shows our desire to seek Him
5. This sacrament is the continual remembrance of the death of Christ through celebrating with the outward signs of the inward grace
6. Prompts us to take time to prepare ourselves for this solemn ordinance by self-examination and prayer (integral parts of sanctification)
