Blessings of The Holy Spirit

“Blessed are the poor in spirit,

    for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

 Blessed are those who mourn,

    for they will be comforted.

Blessed are the meek,

    for they will inherit the earth.

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,

    for they will be filled.

Blessed are the merciful,

    for they will be shown mercy.

Blessed are the pure in heart,

    for they will see God.

Blessed are the peacemakers,

    for they will be called children of God.

Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,

    for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."

MATTHEW 5:3-10

The teachings of the bible and Jesus are often looked at like nice statements to give people hope. When you surrender all of your heart to Jesus though - he makes you new - alive in the spirit. Transformed into what the Lord has already created you to be.

Surrendering to Jesus is his que for the father to fill you with the spirit. It is through this transformation that the bible becomes life.

"The Way" in which Jesus asks for you to live is specifically counter to the way of the world. The beatitudes are promises of the blessings that you will receive from the Holy Spirit when you choose Jesus and his way by faith. Jesus does not give information that does not lead to life. He is The Life.

Every written word that Jesus spoke was for the purpose of the kingdom of heaven. He did not speak to make people feel good or tell them what they want to hear. No - he specifically spoke about what people need to do to see the kingdom of heaven. Jesus does not speak in the abstract but rather in the littoral. It is this same and singular purpose of teaching and declaring life that will become the disposition of the disciple - this is the truth of the transformation in Christ.
