It’s my desire and delight to declare God’s blessings upon your life for the month of September 2025! May you be graciously and generously blessed by “YAHWEH QEDOSHECHEM BORE’ YISRAEL MALCHECHEM” (“The LORD, your HOLY ONE, the CREATOR OF ISRAEL, your KING” [Isaiah 43:15; NASB])! May the Spirit of the Lord fill your heart with gratitude for being delivered from your former manner of life - in which you “walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience. Among them we too formerly lived in the lusts of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature the children of wrath, even as the rest” (Ephesians 2:2-3; NASB)! May the Holy Spirit grant you a special joy in the Lord, to rejoice in God’s rich mercy and the great love with which He loved you, even when you were dead in your transgressions, and made you alive together with Christ (Ephesians 2:3-5)! May you revel in the truth that you have been saved by grace, and raised up with Christ, and seated with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus (Ephesians 2:6)! May the Lord show forth in your life, the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward you in Christ Jesus (Ephesians 2:7)! May you celebrate the gift of God’s salvation – knowing that “by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast” (Ephesians 2:8-9; NASB)! May the Spirit of God deeply impress upon your heart of hearts that you are God’s “workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them” (Ephesians 2:10; NASB! By the Spirit, may you remember that at one time, “you were separate from Christ, excluded from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world” (Ephesians 2:12; NASB)! By the Spirit of God living in you, may you exalt the Lord your God that, “now in Christ Jesus, you who were formerly far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. For He Himself is our peace” (Ephesians 2:13; NASB)! Yes, may you be graciously and generously blessed by “YAHWEH QEDOSHECHEM BORE’ YISRAEL MALCHECHEM” (“The LORD, your HOLY ONE, the CREATOR OF ISRAEL, your KING” [Isaiah 43:15; NASB]), in the month of September 2025 and beyond! For He indeed, is the God who is so gracious and so generous to us!
