John 1:16-17 (Amplified) says, "For out of His fullness (abundance), we have all received, all had a share and were all supplied with, one Grace after another and Spiritual Blessing upon Spiritual Blessing and favor upon favor and even Gift heaped upon Gift. For while the Law was given through Moses, Grace (unearned, undeserved favor) and Spiritual Blessing and Truth, came through Jesus Christ."
The Spiritual Blessings are the things God couldn't give to the people before the new birth. They were dead in their spirits unto God, so these Spiritual Blessings couldn't be administered into their spirits. We've missed so much in our family covenant with the Father, because we've failed to understand these Spiritual Blessings. The first Spiritual Blessing was Life. John 10:10 (Amplified) tells us that, "Jesus came that we could have Life and we could have it in abundance (til it overflows)."
In this Life was the Very Life of God and within this Life was the Grace of God. This Grace and Spiritual Blessings can once again reach into even the natural man, from Heaven itself. God could now walk with His children and His children can now walk with Him.
The Spiritual Blessing came to us, when God's Life entered into our spirit, with His Spirit. These Spiritual Blessings included the imputation of God's Own Spirit, Who brings strength, health, Wisdom, understanding, faith, Love, joy and all the Fruits of the Spirit. The Fruit of the Spirit are the things our spirits would have produced before the fall of the first Adam.
This Fruit of the spirit, talked about here, isn't the Holy Spirit, but what our spirit was actually to be like from the beginning. "Everything bears fruit after its kind", according to the Law of Genesis 1:12. Our spirit was to bear fruit after the Seed of God. 1Peter 1:23 (Amplified) says, "You have been regenerated (born-again), not from a mortal origin (seed, sperm), but from One that is Immortal by the Ever Living and Lasting Word of God."
Galatians 5:22-23 (Amplified) says, "But the fruit of the Holy Spirit, the work which His Presence within accomplishes, is Love, joy, gladness, peace, patience, an even temper, forbearance, kindness, Goodness, benevolence, faithfulness, Gentleness, meekness, humility, self control, self restraint, continence, against such things there is now law that can bring a charge." This is the fruit of the Seed, which produces after kind.
The Seed (Who is Jesus), spoke about this in another way in John 15:5 (Amplified), saying, "I am the Vine; you are the branches, Whoever lives in Me and I in him bears much abundant fruit. However, apart from Me (cut off from vital union with Me), you can do nothing." Jesus isn't only the Vine, but He is the Seed (the Word) and we're to bear the fruit of His nature. We have the ability to sow the same Seed, through the Spiritual Blessing, because we have been produced after Kind. The Word we speak, is the same Seed that produces more children to God's family.
Jesus gives the "Parable of the Sower," in Mark 4. Jesus was the Sower and through the new birth, we've also become sowers of that Seed, in order to produce after kind. God's Word (the Seed) will always produce a child of God, who is made in His Likeness and Image. Throughout history, we've tried changing the Image of the Seed, causing it to conform to our ideas, instead of being what the Father desired when He sent His Seed (Jesus). The Image of the Seed is mostly determined by denominations today.
Modern science has produced seedless grapes that are pleasing for us to eat. However, they must be genetically produced, because they're without seed to reproduce. There are many seeds (words) being sown into the earth today, that are producing many things. God's Word isn't the only Seed producing in the world, but the world and the enemy are producing seeds (words) which are bringing forth harvests.
Words are seeds unto themselves, which will produce a harvest into our lives and will produce after kind. Whatsoever you hear the most, will have the greatest effect on your life. Whatever you sow into your spirit, will produce a harvest in your life. Your spirit became "good soil," when you were born-again and that soil will produce and grow whatever you allow to be sown into it. Through Jesus, the Father has now reproduced in us, what Adam lost in the fall. We witness these Spiritual Blessings being restored in Jesus' life, through the Holy Spirit. Today's Church has failed to recognize the full impact of Spiritual Blessings.
Spiritual Blessings are Blessing bestowed upon us by the Holy Spirit, into our born-again spirit. This is the nature of our Heavenly Father, moving and producing Himself into His family again. All of the Blessings of Abraham that were sowed, are still producing through the Spiritual Blessings we've received in Jesus. God's Life was restored into our spirit and has overflowed into the natural, causing us to become new creations in salvation. We're now Super-natural beings on this earth. We don't only have a natural body and life, but now, we're like the first Adam and the Last Adam Jesus. They were both physical men, with Spiritual Life and ability.
We've been taught that these Spiritual Blessings are for when we die and go to Heaven. When we get to Heaven, we won't need them. They are for us, now. Healing is a Spiritual Blessing. There was no sickness, until after Adam's transgression and spiritual death in the Garden of Eden. Sickness came through man's fallen spirit and is a spiritual invasion manifested in the flesh. In Proverbs 4:20-22 (Amplified) God says, "My son, attend to My Words; consent and submit to My sayings, Let them not depart from your sight; keep them in the center of your heart For they are Life to those who find them and healing and health to all their flesh."
Jesus said in John 6:63 (Amplified), "It is the Spirit Who gives Life (He is the Life Giver), the flesh conveys no benefit whatever (there is no profit in it). The Words (Truths) that I have been speaking to you are Spirit and Life." Where there is Life, there is also health and healing to the flesh, by the Spiritual Blessings. Death came in the spirit and with that death came sickness, despair, distress and futility. Life came through Jesus in the Spirit. The Spiritual Blessing now lives within our spirit, bringing us Love, joy, peace and the Fruit of the Spirit. The Spiritual Blessing now abides within our spirit, by the Life in and of the Seed, Who is the Word made flesh, Jesus the Christ. We must learn to draw out of spirit, what God has placed in us.
