” Where did you get that ?” 

That is a common question when someone  ” likes what you have”….
When was the last time someone asked you that about your JOY ?
” Where did you get that ?” …………………….

Eph. 1: 3
  ” Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord JESUS CHRIST, who
has BLESSED US IN THE HEAVENLY REALMS….with EVERY…
SPIRITUAL BLESSING in CHRIST.”

1. Where do we get it ~  from God, the Father of JESUS CHRIST our Savior.
                                  ( last I checked, best in quality, durability, longevity……..)
2. What has HE given us =  SPRITUAL  BLESSINGS
                                  ( Greek, “blessing.” “All,” that is, “every possible blessing for time
                                     and eternity, which the Spirit has to give us ! )
     The Holy Spirit is not going to hold back one, one blessing from us ! 

Every spiritual thing we need to have to be able to live a truly spiritual life
on earth……GOD, ” Has blessed”  = past tense…. through HIS SON, our Savior, 
in our salvation.  

That rules out, the ” I can’t….. I can’t live for the LORD…I can’t do what HE has
called me to do…I can not handle this situation the way the LORD wants me to..”

HE HAS given us ALL that we need…………… has blessed us.

We don’t have to ask for what we – already have….
” Pass the salt….”  – IT IS RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU…..
” Where is my black shirt”  – IT IS IN YOUR TOP DRAWER
” I need the patience to wait”  – YOU HAVE IT…..
  “If I could only be content” – YOU can
  ” If onlyI had peace and joy” –  It is in Him, in you !

WE have the spiritual ability to handle our lives spirituallly…
but, we have to ” activate our FAITH”……………
          we have to believe HE is all we need….
          we have to believe on earth, we can LIVE spiritually …
                                                                             through Him alone.

It took faith to save us from HELL…
It is HIS plan – FAITH.
     We need to LIVE IN AN ACTIVE DAILY LIVING FAITH.

Believe in Him and what HE has given you,
and not the circumstances that you are looking at in your life.

We have to “enter into it”…..
It is like someone gave you 2 acres……it is yours….on paper…
and you stand at the edge…and just “look at it”…. never feeling
the power of ownership, the joy of ownership…. 
      Just the ” I WISH”….. looking at what is already yours.

Where are these blessings ?  = in the HEAVENLY REALMS….
    not in your house, not on your yard, not in a store, or a coffee shop
    not on a vacation…a beach….. where ever we have to “THINK we have to go”

but ….IN THE HEAVENLIES…… spiritual not material, 
            not on earth, not temporal but eternal. 

In Christ…is how we live on earth for a short time
                      by Him we have all, all, all we need, to live the life HE
                       has called us to…spiritually. 

Living in a way that others ask:
  ” where did she get that ?”
 ” where does she shop?”  …… JESUS CHRIST alone

If we can not take them to JESUS CHRIST by our testimony…
How can we open God’s Word and just show them ?
