Title: The Blessings Of The Lord
Author: Dr. Darrow Perkins
Text: Deuteronomy 28:1
INTRODUCTION: I've got some questions for you today....do you want to be blessed? Do you want God to bless you like you've never been blessed before? Do you believe that God has the power and authority to bless you in every area of your life? Are you doing what's necessary to receive those blessings? These are very thought provoking questions because if we want to see and know that God can bless us, we've got to make sure we're doing all that we're supposed to do.

God is not a robot, not a mechanical being that acts impulsively, on the spur of the moment without thought or purpose. The blessings of God are not the result of a reflex emotion that arouses God to bless this and that person. The blessings of God are not poured out indiscriminately, at random, in a chaotic manner. God demands something of a person before He blesses that person. God's blessings are conditional. A person has to do something in order to receive God's blessings." This serves as a reminder to us that we have to do our part, be in the right place and in alignment and agreement with God in order for us to receive that which He has for us. The Israelites would never have been able to enjoy the promised land if they stayed in Egypt...they had to do something! Today, we too have to do something if we are going to receive all the blessings and promises God has made to us. When we do our part, we can enjoy "The Blessings of the Lord."
BACKGROUND/TEXT: Our text today is found in the Book of Deuteronomy. This is the last of five books written by the hands of Moses, the servant of God to the children of Israel. The word Deuteronomy means "the second law or "the repetition of the law." The law was first given to the Israelites on Mt. Sinai, but the first generation proved to be a sinful, unbelieving, ...
