David understood this in the Old Testament when he wrote. They won't be necessary when we get to heaven. God's blessings are for us to enjoy on earth. We throw around sayings like, 'I hope you're blessed today' or 'Didn't that message just bless your heart?' Many of the spiritual blessings God 'hath blessed us with' are not invisible-nor are they something we only get in heaven. Most folks view spiritual blessings as something 'intangible'. 'Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ.' (Ephesians 1:3 KJV) God's blessing is not something He's going to do-it's something He's already done.

The second surprise was finding out that He had already given me every blessing that was possible-in Christ. One of the first 'surprises' I received as a new Christian was learning that God wanted me to be blessed. To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God, according to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord: in whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.' (Ephesians 3:8-12 KJV) 'Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is the grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ and to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ.

'How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him.'(Hebrews 2:3 KJV)Д®xtraordinary changes occurred in the world through the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus. He didn't purchase these riches for himself. That's why its such a grevious act to either neglect or to be tricked into rejecting those things that cost Jesus such a high price. These special blessings were purchased by the precious blood of Jesus for us. One of God's desires is for us to 'renew our minds' about the 'riches of Christ'. Those of us who commit our lives to Christ later in life bring a lot of baggage along. Yet, many people don't have that advantage. When asked, 'Why is thunder so loud?'-Some parents answer their children, 'Honey, don't be 's just the angels in heaven bowling!' If you're raised in a Christian family you have a better chance entering adulthood with an undistorted conception of God.
