True blessing under the New Covenant is not measured by material wealth and health, but by spiritual transformation and union with Christ. The mark of God's blessing is internal holiness and a clear vision of Christ, not external prosperity.

True faith is not something one can manufacture or wish for; rather, it comes directly from hearing the word of Christ. The key to developing this faith is asking the Holy Spirit to make the voice and nature of Jesus real to the individual. When this happens, the believer will no longer be shaken by trials.

The speaker corrects the expectation that being filled with the Holy Spirit results in a life of effortless peace and joy. Instead, the Spirit prepares believers to actively fight and win by crucifying the flesh with its passions and desires. Therefore, a life filled with the Spirit requires active spiritual battle.
