I just wanted to ask how God has blessed you. I see all of these questions directed at Christians asking us why do we believe in a God that we can't see and I want to answer them! :) How has God blessed you? Your finances? Your children? Your career? This is the time to praise His Holy Name and let the non-believers see what our God can do for them because He's done it for us!!
I'll start: I was praying and searching for a second job and it just wasn't happening for me. I didn't work for six months last year and I'm still trying to get myself out of that debt and I thought that working myself like a Hebrew slave was going to help me but God wasn't letting me get them. I then realized that God was trying to tell me I need to trust in Him and He will handle my finances. I paid my tithe's for the first time in years last week and yesterday, I received a letter in the mail from one of my old jobs saying they have a check for me for $133!! I AM SO BLESSED!!
Ok, your turn....

Pom: it's not about the amount of the check, He knew that that was how much I needed. The more obedient I become, the more favor I will receive. If He can send me $133 after just ONE WEEK of tithing, I can only imagine what He will do after one year! Not to mention for eternity. This question was not asked because my faith is weak and no one should think that they can discourage me. This question is for those who want to give honor and thanks to Him. :)

You'd think the Creator could come up with better than 133 bucks. But it's better than a poke in the eye, eh? Mysterious ways, mysterious ways.

God has blessed me with a fairly long life, so far, and a loving family. He has not answered all my prayers (yet) but I have learned to be patient and to perservere.
I believe in God's love, in miracles of various kinds, and that faith will be rewarded. Right now I could use a lot more than 133 dollars, but I believe God will find a way to keep my body and soul together. He always has.

Ok, here's my story about how God blessed me. One day I was walking down the street and I became aware of this really bad smell that started following me. I walked faster but I couldn't get away from this bad smell. And then I realized - the smell was coming from my socks as I hadn't changed them in a little over three years. And then guess what - as if by magic I came across a puddle of water by the side of the road so I could wash my socks (and also my feet because they were pretty stinky too). But I knew this wasn't magic - this was God blessing me and now I know FOR SURE that God really loves me and I am saved.

I have been blessed to follow my heart. It's just a shame it took my heart so long to hear the voice of god, although I had been blessed with the foresight to many problems in my life, I still walked in blindly. When I look back I remember those little visions or feelings that tried so hard to point me into the right direction so I was following what my heart wanted (what was right) yet I did what others wanted or what I wanted (not what I felt was right), I can see how god was always there and it was he who wanted the best for me but it was up to me to do it.
It took me a long time to follow my heart but it took me realising that I can't always have what I want the way I want it and if I had listened to the voice and the visions I wouldn't have suffered as I did, or others about me but if I didn't follow the path of ignorance then I wouldn't have had 7 children. It all worked out as if was meant to be but my blessing was to follow my heart, I just had many lessons to learn before finding the strength to do it

Yet God blessed only three things:
1. The creatures in the sea and those that fly in the air, but not the creatures that lived on the earth.
2. Man and woman.
3. The Seventh Day of rest.
To bless is to
"confer prosperity upon, to bestow benefit."
God 's pleasure was over all He made but
His blessing was given in only three places.
God placed the two lights and took pleasure in them.
But He did not bless them.
God made vegetation and though He saw that it was good,
He did not bless the trees,
the plants and their seed.
The word "bless" in Hebrew is barak or baruch and
its root meaning is to "kneel"
the inference is that of existing to bless God
to fulfill His idea and satisfy His purpose.
The very first blessing pronounced was to
the fish of the sea and the birds of the air.
The fish of the sea and the birds of the air live outside the realm of man's home, earth. They can be caught and though they can be caged they cannot be tamed to work.
They are food but not laborers.
God blessed them, saying, "Be fruitful and multiply and fill the waters in the seas, and let the birds multiply on the earth."
Genesis 1:22
Three commands:
Be fruitful
Multiply - in seas and on earth
Fill the waters
The blessing conferred on them was to be fruitful.
The blessing of God is multiplication. Abundance.
Rich provision that bows to God's purpose.
Fish and fowl fulfill His intention
under His blessing of multiplication.
Fish and birds have so multiplied that
they are more numerous
than any other living thing.
Powerful is the blessing of God.
So vibrant, so dynamic is His blessing
that He is most careful on
whom He bestows it.
The "living creatures, cattle and creeping things and beasts of the earth" were not blessed,
simply a decree that they would reproduce.
Had they been given the blessing, their numbers would have covered and taken over the earth.
The second blessing was given to man and woman.
God created man in His own image,
in the image of God He created him:
male and female He created them.
God blessed them, and God said to them,
"Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth,
and subdue it; and rule
over the fish of the sea and
over the birds of the sky and
over every living thing that moves on the earth."

In the last year I have been debt free aside from student loans. My wife and I own both of our cars. Also I have been given the gift of job security with a good salary. Never doubt Him, because he can supply all of your needs. He has given me peace with all the terrible things that have happened around me this past few years. He has also strengthened my love for my neighbors. Praise Yahweh for all blessings come from Him. Ask and ye shall receive.

Churches in the West are becoming dens of thieves,
money changers, sellers of religious trinkets and
worldly music. Christ said that you have turned my
House of Prayer into a place of merchandise and
corruption such as the world has never seen.
Repent! Repent!
If this answer offends any of you devil worshipers,
take it up with my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Don't mention God, Jesus Christ, Holy Spirit, Holy
Ghost, Holy Bible, Church, Christians, Religion or Spirituality if you don't
want to hear from me.

I believe in God (Jesus Christ) as my Savior; God the Father, God the Son (Jesus Christ) and God - the Holy Spirit! God (Jesus Christ) blesses me every second of every day! Sometimes I don't feel it, sometimes I am so unhappy, sometimes I am in so much pain; but that doesn't change God (Jesus Christ)! He is Now, He is the Past, He is the Future! Everything that has been created - is because of His gifts to man and woman - no matter what it is! It's what we have chosen or choose to do with all the knowledge that He has given us! Everything that will be created - He give the gift (knowledge) for that creation! That's why I don't argue with anyone about their theories, religions, or anything else!
God (Jesus Christ) will answer all of your prayers and He blesses you every second of every day! You are so Blessed!
