It’s my pleasure and privilege to pronounce God’s blessings upon you for the month of October 2024. May you be marvelously and mightily blessed by “the LORD God of hosts, the Lord” (YAHWEH Elohim Tsevao’th, Adonai [Amos 5:16]). May you marvelously and mightily experience and enjoy God’s grace to you and peace from Him, your Father and the Lord Jesus Christ (see 2 Corinthians 1:2)! May the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, comfort you in all your affliction, so that you will be able to comfort those who are in any affliction with the comfort with which you yourself are comforted by God (see 2 Corinthians 1:3-4)! May you be enriched with the understanding that God has a purpose for everything He does or permits in your life as a believer in Jesus Christ [especially, that you will not trust in yourself, but in God who raises the dead] (2 Corinthians 1:8-9)! May the God who delivered you from your great trial in the past, deliver you again in your present trial, even as you set your hope on Him to deliver you again (2 Corinthians 1:10)! May many give thanks on your behalf for the blessing granted you through the prayers of many (2 Corinthians 1:11)! May you be faithfully assured by God who is faithful, that all His promises find their Yes in Christ, through whom we utter our Amen to the glory of God (2 Corinthians 1:18, 20)! May God Himself establish your fellow believers with you in Christ, and anoint you and them for service (2 Corinthians 1:21)! May the Lord also put His seal on you and give you His Spirit in your heart as a guarantee or down payment (2 Corinthians 1:22)! May the Lord grant that those who serve and shepherd you, will work with you to stand firm in your faith (2 Corinthians 1:24)! May the Spirit of the Lord cause those who serve and shepherd you to let you know the abundant love they have for you (2 Corinthians 2:4)! May no advantage be taken of you by Satan, since you are not ignorant of his schemes or designs (2 Corinthians 2:11)! May a door be opened for you in the Lord to preach the gospel of Christ (2 Corinthians 2:12)! May God always lead you in triumph in Christ, and through you spread the fragrance of the knowledge Him everywhere (2 Corinthians 2:14)! May you indeed be the aroma of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing (2 Corinthians 2:15)! Yes, may you be marvelously and mightily blessed by the Marvelous and Mighty God, who is so committed to blessing all His genuine born-again believing children with His very best blessings appropriate to each one of them!
