There are special blessings available only to those who live in full alignment with God.2 Sanctification increases the quality and quantity of blessings to which you have access. All good comes from and leads to God, and the concentration of its value increases as you draw nearer to him. The bandwidth of wisdom, blessings, and power from God available to you is determined not just by whether you are aligned, but by the level of knowledge about God that you are aligned to. As you learn more about him while remaining aligned with him, the amount of good he can send into your life increases.3 It is through people who align with God and increase the bandwidth of their connection to him that God establishes his kingdom on earth.4 Most of the blessings we read about in the scriptures are among those reserved for those who live in full alignment with God. It is because very few Christians live in alignment with God that so few scriptural blessings are available in the lives of many Christians.
When you are aligned with God, or justified, you open the maximal conduit of wisdom, blessings, and power from God available to you.5
You enjoy unparalleled peace.365 You can stand in the presence of God.366 You are sustained by God without any impedance.367 Nothing good is withheld from you.368
Falling out of alignment with what you understand God to be like disqualifies you from further revelation of how he is,369 and will also result in the loss of the grace you have received until now.370 Each way in which you think, feel, or act less than the best you know creates impedance between you and God.371 Every difference between how you are and how you believe God to be creates an obstruction in the flow of God’s goodness to and through you.
