There is more to receiving God's blessings than meets the eye. The blessings of God are greater than words. I've learned and I'm continuing to learn that there is indeed a process (before you're even aware of it) that takes place (in you) before a manifestation of God's blessing is handed down. The beauty is it's God who gives the blessings, but also it's God who enables us not only to extend our hand to receive the blessing, but it's also God who enables us to open that same hand. As God opens our hand to receive His blessings He also prepares us, prepares our heart, our emotions, and our abilities (in advance) to handle the opposition, the resentment, the rejection and the pain that comes from friends, family, church members, and yes, even the saints of God. You see so many people (Christians, and non-Christians alike) want the blessing, but are they first in love with the giver of the blessing, the Sovereign One? It is through reading this book (Can You Stand to be Blessed) that I'm reminded of the organization and the turn of events, that take place while in the process of being, "BEING PROCESSED FOR GOD'S BLESSING."

Once Again, T.D. Jakes, Thanks for sharing what either our parents, aunts, and uncles didn't know, or perhaps they just didn't know how to share on being a receiver of God's blessings. I will continue to pass on the gift of learning, and sharing not only just the blessings of God, but also the preparation process.

I've been on a blessing journey for quite a while. I'm on the way, and yes there are some good times along the way, however, there are also some not so good times. The truth, the truth must be shared. The blessings of God are available but "Can You Stand to be Blessed" is the question.

You Can Stand to be Blessed, but you mustn't nor will the Father allow you to miss the process. Oh God cares for us soooo much, that every step in His process will be completed to His satisfaction before we are allowed to move on.

T.D. Jakes, I continue lifting you up in the hearing of the Father, believing that God continues to sharpen your hearing of His voice as you continue to share the Father's heart with the people.

You too continue being able, and willing to "Stand to be Blessed"

I know for me I Can Stand to Blessed! I felt as if the book was talking to me and I needed someone to write the words down for me to read. Thank God for Bishop T. D. Jakes. I can't get enough of his books. Get God and Get ready to be Blessed...

TD Jakes shares personal insights that will help all people survive the peaks and valleys of daily living out God's call upon their lives. Only when we drop our masks and facades can we be real before our Lord and others.

"Can You Stand to be Blessed" is by far, one of the most inspiring books written by T.D.Jakes. Offering the truth about living a Christian life, it compels even the young-adult readers. This book has changed my life, it has helped me to see that 'believing in me, is the key.' I recommend this book for anyone who is ready to stand up and learn just how easy it is to be blessed. There will be NO REGRETS!!

Inspiring and dynamic, a true peek into the life of T.D. Jakes. CAN YOU STAND TO BE BLESSED, takes a in depth look at stuggle and how we as followers of the gospel of Jesus Christ, are to over come the snares of Satan. I found this book to be very uplifting and giving in the sense of direction and the purpose that we have to grow. I would recommend this book to anyone who is at a crossroads in their life and once you finish you will find that you can't stand to be blessed.

Bishop Jakes in his own sometimes humorous,sometimes heartwrenching style teaches us through the scriptures as well as examples from his own life.It is so refreshing to see a man unafraid to bare all for the world to know.He shares his own humble beginnings as a young black man struggling with secular employment and hardly being compensated for gas money when he preached,to losing his secular job and being virtually forced out of his comfort zone into faith.He was without a job, without a car,without utilities,and sometimes without food while working odd jobs to scrape together enough money to feed a wife and two children.For those of us that have been there or are there he gives us comfort in knowing we haven't been forsaken, for those who haven't been in that place, this book takes you there and you will never be the same again.

In this book, Bishop T.D. Jakes allows himself to be used by God to speak to the heart of both men and women who desire to be blessed. In an eloquent, yet simple vocabulary the message convicts and inspires the heart of the reader to confront him or herself and examine the relationship between he or she and the Lord.

I LOVE this book. It really speaks to your spirit on the places where God takes His people. T. D. Jakes is a very prolific author. I usually don't read books more than once, but I am keeping this one close by so I can read portions of it again. I really enjoyed it! I bought it from Amazon and it got to me a couple of days before they said it would be here! Great service!

This was the first book that I read by TD Jakes and it helped me look at things in a different light. Since reading this book I have read all of TD Jakes books. Excellent!!!!

Recently I asked the Lord to share with me what I was doing to hold myself back. He did! We had a long conversation, but to sum it all up He basically said that I was scared of my own success. I tearfully shared this information with my mentor and she said, "Read Bishop Jakes' book 'Can You Stand to Be Blessed?!" I ordered it minutes later. It was the best thing that I could have done for myself, my future, and my family. I needed this book for this time! This is Bishop Jakes' BEST! From beginning to end, I laughed, I rejoiced, I cried, I jotted down notes, I thanked God... I thanked God!

I've recommended it to everyone who's heard my voice this week. "Read that book!" If you're asking God for His favor and blessings, you need to know: 1) Can you stand the pressure that will come from family and friends? (this was my issue) and 2) Can you stand the responsibility that comes with blessings and success?

This book made me pause...

I'm putting it aside for a week and then I'm going to read it again.

Bishop Jakes, thank you!
