Pray Blessings!

What does it mean to be blessed? Sometimes we may think of blessings in such general, vague terms that they lose part of their significance. Here is a selection of meanings for blessing:

• A good thing that God does for us; to ask God to help us and do good in us; a blessing can be a prayer that God will bless someone.
• The act of invoking divine protection or aid
• To add value
• A short prayer of thanksgiving before or after a meal; grace
  
• Approval; good wishes her father gave his blessing to the marriage
• The bestowal of a divine gift or favour
• In the Jewish culture and especially in Israel it is common for people to speak blessings daily over each other and to greet each other with a blessing

It is clear that God has given us instruction to bless, Luke 6:28 (Jesus speaking),  "Bless those who curse you and pray for those who despitefully use you". 

What most of us lack is the understanding of how to bless is probably lack of understanding the power and the importance of blessing.  We must realize You and I are Kingdom people privileged to release blessings over ourselves, loved ones, enemies,  situations,  institutions, territories. In a world where the negative is dominant everywhere, what kind of change could you effect if you became a serious dispenser of blessing? Positive overwhelms negative and light dispels darkness. Why would we hold back? 

If you and I commit today to more seriously releasing blessings as part of our prayer life, as part of our Christian walk, we will take our places among those world changers who know this secret. Get started blessing today and pray with us. Let God’s creative power be released through His Word. God spoke creation into existence. Our universe is increasing as you read this. What God spoke in the beginning is still moving, creating, blessing. Isaiah 55:11 says, "So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; it shall not return to Me void but it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it."  If you pray blessings today and don’t see results by evening, don’t believe that you prayed in vain. Sometimes we see immediate results, immediate watering of a life or situation but sometimes we don't. You just release scripture prayer. Pray the truth and blessings of God’s Word and you pray not only out of your own heart and intent, but out of the heart and intent of God. The power of Heaven is released in response to your prayer-blessings and the power of the blessing does not stop until its purpose is accomplished.

Intercessory Prayer

Heavenly Father, in Christ Jesus’ Holy Name; I thank You for Your Word in Numbers 6:23-26. Heavenly Father, I pray that You will bless me and that You will keep me . I pray that You will make Your Face shine upon me and be gracious to me. I pray that You will lift up Your countenance upon me and fill me with Your Peace. Lord Jesus, I  thank You for blessing me. Heavenly Father, I ask You to cleanse my mind with the Blood of the Lord Christ Jesus of all thoughts and preconceived ideas that do not conform to Your will and destiny for my life and the way You want me to believe and think. Lord Jesus, I ask You to prevent my mind from deceiving me in any way. 

Dear Lord, I pray that Your blessings rest upon me this day. I decree and declare that I am pleasing to the Lord and He enjoys my fellowship. I am well-favored and more than able to receive His abundant provision. God's angels accompany me on my right hand and on my left. They shall guide me! God's goodness and mercy shall follow close behind means be the guardians between me and my past. God has determined that I shall have good success because I move in faith and in strong courage. My eyes shall see the salvation of the Lord. He shall keep me safely under His wings. I declare this day that I am protected and delivered from the evil of the day. I shall not stumble or fall for the Holy Spirit has anointed my eyes with eye salve to see clearly and has given me ears of the spirit to hear precisely. I will be wise in my generation. My soul will rest in God's shalom. You have declared I will be strong and pleasing in Your sight. I will eat the fruit of his promises in the land of the living and I will enjoy long life and length of days because I've wholly trusted in the Lord my God. My habitation shall be a place where I will rest in Your love, find hope, for tomorrow, and joy shall strengthen me as I rest upon my bed. You shall restore my soul and give me rest in the stillness and quietness of my home. In my prayer chamber the Holy Spirit shall birth a creative and powerful mind and give me sound ideas that will bring me promotion and great favor. You shall give me a fresh anointing and bless me with good results. The Lord is pleased with me and has placed His name upon my forehead. I will call upon Him and He will show me great and mighty things I will know not of in Jesus' Name!"

Amen!
