The Triune Blessing

UV 706/10,000 The Goodness of God The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen. 2 Corinthians 13 v 14 The Trinity comes together in this uni-verse to bless us in spirit, mind and body- the triune elements of our human personalities with all of the goodness of God. The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ sums up the Aaronic blessing on us who believe: The Lord Jesus shall bless us and keep us. He will cause His face to shine upon us with divine or spiritual or supernatural favour. He will be gracious to us. He will lift up His countenance to focus His eyes upon all that is happening in our lives and give us peace or Shalom that means peace, security,wholeness, completeness, prosperity, success, health, healing, freedom and every spiritual blessing from the heavenly realms. He will give us the name of God to bear –both us and our children as a mark of ownership and identity that we are both children and heirs of the 10,000 plus promises of God. The love of God for you and me was manifested in His sending that which was most precious in His sight- His own Son Jesus who is one spirit with the Father – to redeem us from Satan’s hold, to take our place of condemnation that our own consciences subject us to. That love causes Satan’s head to be bruised under our feet. He has given us all authority under heaven and His throne to rule over every power on earth. On account of His love, He has given us the constant hope of salvation and life forever more. Those who do not treat His love with disdain, He chooses to give the gift of faith to believe that all these things are true, more true than the things they can see, touch, feel and experience on earth. The communion of the Holy Spirit implies the close fellowship and companionship that the third member of the Trinity gives us as we walk our lonely paths and plough our lonely furrows. He is the One who gives us strength by causing us to delight in the Word and the work of God. Joy is our emotional strength. When our joy is drained, even our physical and intellectual strength to live is drained. The Holy Spirit gives us through our communion with Him the joy of the Lord. The joy of the Lord is taking delight in what God delights in and thereby deriving spiritual strength. The Holy Spirit causes rivers of life to flow from our hearts. He ignites the passion in our belly for the work of the Lord. He gives us courage, boldness and wisdom. Recently, the Lord the Holy Spirit revealed, “ My eye is upon your brain to guide you in what you think, speak, write, decide and act. My fingers are intermingled with your ten fingers. All that you do with your ten fingers is blessed. ” The Holy Spirit prepares or builds us up as a habitation for God. He inspires the fruit of character in us. He is our Comforter and Rememberancer. He comforts us in our present troubles. He reminds us of the promises of the Lord. The last few words of this usually taken for granted benediction, “ be with you all” implies that this triune blessing is available for all who are faithful without discrimination, favouritism or exception. As this triune blessing is upon us and ours, we are blessed when, how, why and where we go and blessed when, how, why and where we come. The very last word “ Amen” means that the Lord guarantees, underwrites and will cause all this to happen even as He is the first cause of the entire universe.
