God has firm purposes of blessings for our lives, always.

But there are some ways that God's people have to follow in order to be blessed by God, and one of those ways is quoted in:

2 Chronicles 7:14 ​If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

You must remember that God will never bless the sinner, because sin deprives man of God's presence and His glory.

Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.

So, for you to be blessed by God, you must be at the center of his will, consequently, BEING FAITHFUL TO HIM.

God has promises of blessings for the faithful and promises of curses for the unbelievers.

In 2 Chronicles 7:14 the Lord says:

1 - If my people, which are called by my name
Here God says to whom is his promise, that is, the people of God. You are to be called God's people by right.

John 1:12 Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.

2 - shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face
You must stand before God as dependent on Him and desire Him, more than the blessings He can give you.

3 - And turn from their wicked ways
Repentance is the way to forgiveness.

There is no forgiveness without repentance first.

4 - Then I will hear from the heaven
After the attitudes of searching, praying and repenting, the heavens open and God hears, because there is no more impediment or barrier (sin) between you and God.

5 - And I will forgive their sin
Sins are forgiven, and you become worthy of God's presence and His glory.

6 - And I will heal their land
All your struggles, then, become the struggles of God and at the right time, the curse ceases and the blessing is determined, bringing healing, deliverance and salvation.

So, be be blessed now:

Renew your vows with God, saying that you are his and that He is the authority over your life, saying that you are God's people.

PRAY, REPENT, ASK GOD FOR FORGIVENESS for your sins and COMMIT to being faithful to God.

Then, you will receive God's answer to these attitudes: A LIFE OF FREEDOM, PEACE, ABUNDANCE AND FULL OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.

The Lord bless you and keep you.
