THE BLESSING
We pronounce the blessing… that you are blessed at home, at your work place, in your church, in what you produce. You sow only good seeds and you are fruitful and multiply. We declare that your finances are blessed. Your obedient tithing opens the windows of heaven and your abundant offerings pour out a blessing you cannot contain! You prosper even as your soul prospers. You honor and respect your parents and are blessed with a long and prosperous life. You are blessed when you go out and blessed when you come in according to the word of God.
Your greatest aspiration is to come into the presence of God and to know and be known by Him, to be a lover of God and people of all walks of life. You worship in Spirit and in truth. You are free from inhibitions and pride and are not under the law, but walk in liberty. You do not lean on your own understanding, but on God. You are not entrapped by the world’s ways of thinking, and you pray unceasingly until the answer comes, doing warfare in the heavenlies, fasting, interceding and not giving up, and standing firm in your convictions and beliefs. Your heart is that of a true servant, always desiring and actively looking for ways to meet others needs above and before your own. People gravitate to you because you treat them as Jesus would, preferring them over yourself, and loving unconditionally.
May God’s word be in your heart and mouth; alive and full of power, and rightly dividing the word of truth. The word of God is active in you, and operates through you… it invigorates you, and is effective for you and through you, it does not return void, but accomplishes the desired results.
Because you are a child of God… through Him, you are able, sufficient, and worthy to be a minister of the Good News. You shall walk continually in the arena of success and will share the portion of inheritance as an heir of salvation. The only fear you have is an awesome and reverent fear of the Lord. You are free from the fear of man, the fear of failure and doubt, and you are blessed with the spirit of power and love, and a calm and balanced mind, sound in all its ways. You believe “You can do all things through Christ who strengthens me”, according to the word of God. You are free from sinful passions and moral conflict and are not given to the temptations of the flesh. You are not vain, nor do you covet. Decisions in your life are not dictated by hurts or actions of the past, but are carefully prayed about with agreement of two or three witnesses. You are not compelled to do things that seem good in your own eyes. You walk in a heart of true repentance, recognizing and quickly admitting when you are wrong and you know freedom from sin is not in anything you can do of yourself, but of the power of the cross in your life. You realize there is a season for everything. You are willing to wait on God’s timing and do not take things into your own hands, quietly stepping back, trusting God and watching Him bring forth good fruit.
You attend to the word of God, consent and submit to it. The word does not depart from your lips, it is hidden in your heart as a treasure… a delight to you, your shield, buckler, and strong defense. It is life, healing and health to your flesh. Mercy, compassion, kindness and truth are your constant companions, and you walk in favor, good understanding, knowledge and wisdom in the Lord. You have unmerited favor and stand in great esteem in the sight of the Lord and man. Your heart is always open to forgive and to be a minister of reconciliation. You make the first step when the bond of unity has been broken instead of holding on to your own headstrong carnal ways. You have a teachable spirit and take advice from Godly counsel. You heed those of understanding and not stubborn or demand your own way. You look for the golden nugget of truth when you are corrected, being quick to contemplate first where you can change. You desire to grow up in Christ and put away childish thing.
Your children are taught of the Lord, obeying their parents, respecting authority and living virtuous lives. They are not given to outbursts, lascivious speech, sudden anger, addictions or unclean living. They are honest in all matters and are not stiff necked. You do not provoke your children to wrath. They rise up and called you blessed and bring delight and not shame upon parents.
Everything you set your hand to do shall prosper, and you are blessed with life in abundance. Your reward in Christ is rich, intense and abundant. Your first passion is the Lord in your life. You are like a tree firmly planted by the living water, tended continually by the Master … bringing forth much fruit.
You count the cost and are willing to pay the price to walk the path set before you. Now thanks be to God who always causes you to triumph in Christ!
