Blessed are the poor in spirit, …..

Blessed are they that mourn,……

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

But why ,,,, what is this being poor in spirit and what is this mourning that a blessing is being spoken upon…..?

For one being poor in spirit and being a mourner, has nothing to do with what one has or has not in this world, but it does have everything to do with what one, is, in this world….. For the mourning that is to be blessed, is the mourning that is caused when one sees one’s fallen state….. For when one sees one’s fallen state and realizes that one has no power in oneself, that one is totally incapable of coming out of their fallen state by any strength of themselves…. Then as one realizes this truth, one becomes poor in spirit and one mourns, it is this mourning that is the mourning that will be blessed, then the blessing of the comforting comes in as the voice of one’s Savior is heard knocking on the door of one’s heart, if one responds, then all of the other ‘be blessed’ becomes one’s by experience….

For one’s mourning over what one is, causes one to hunger and thirst after the cure, the doing of righteousness being that cure, and then that hunger produces in one all the ‘be blessed’s’…

For all the ‘be blessed’s’ are the fruit of the doings of righteousness in one form of expression or another… Then the fruit of that expression comes in which is the rejoicing, which comes in according to the growth of the expression of righteousness….. Then as the fruit of that expression is experienced that experiencing becomes so very tangible as it becomes one’s new life as one learns to live in faith before one’s Savior….. For as a woman who gives birth the pain is forgotten over the joy of a new life and so are the struggles that grow righteousness in the new life in those that by faith find it…..


Be blessed in the finding of the fruit of that mourning, a fellow follower, Not me

Yes, true, at Bible college we were taught that "poor in spirit" means that we know that we have need of God.
