What Are Spiritual Blessings From God?
When God blesses human beings He grants, bestows, makes possible material prosperity or a state of well-being that is emotional, intellectual, and spiritual in effect. Today we are going to take a close look at blessing from the bible: who blesses who, how we receive blessings, how we give blessings, physical versus spiritual blessings, and finally how the flow of blessing can influence our prayers.

Some Reasons God Blesses
Although God does not owe human beings anything for their behavior He is pleased to bless people and within the old covenant context makes it clear He blesses people for keeping His laws Deuteronomy 7:12-14. An important sub-category would be those who seek wisdom Proverbs 8:13,33 [tuning in to the way things really are].
God's interaction with Israel took these material blessings very seriously [they were presented as proof of God’s faithfulness to His covenant promises] … Israel also enjoyed spiritual blessings but the material received greater emphasis. The were How God would “prove” and provide a witness of His presence, His commandments, His reality through Israel.
For those of us in a new covenant relationship with God greater emphasis is put on the spiritual blessings... but, the the material blessings God provides are also present. In addition to obedience the NT writings add a few important ideas that feed into understanding who God blesses:
those who are faithful [Hebrews 11:20 Revelation 16:15]
those who endure through suffering and trial, James 1:12, Matthew 5:11]
those who believe the truth [hold fast to enlightenment] Matthew 13:16 Luke 10:23, 11:27.
