Rev. Cyril A. Stevens – Sermon 0036AB recorded on April 1, 1979 teaching from Psalm 84:11-12 – How God Longs to Bless Us.
Pastor Cyril A. Stevens presents the biblical promise of divine favor as God’s blank check, an open-ended invitation to receive limitless blessings. The Lord eagerly desires to provide for His people, yet this generosity is strictly tethered to the condition of walking uprightly. Stevens explains that true righteousness is not found in outward religious performance or “religiosity,” but in a spirit-motivated life characterized by a sincere heart and a commitment to follow the path of holiness. By weaving together personal anecdotes of God’s provision with the examples of biblical figures like David and Solomon, Pastor Stevens encourages believers to move past immature suppositions and embrace the assured promises of a faithful Creator. Ultimately, Stevens calls us to action, asserting that when a believer lives with lofty aspirations and a yielded spirit, God will withhold no good thing from their lives.
