The Spoken Blessing

 Numbers 6: 22 to 27

Our text passage shows us an ancient blessing the priests used to speak over the congregation/assembly of God's people, verse twenty two and twenty three shows us they are blessings that God gave as words to Moses for the priests to bless the nation.

With God given words, the priests blessed the people, and the people became blessed!

Those words carried the blessing and the presence of God with them.

The words 'stuck' to the people as the priests declared them over the people, and the nation of Israel prospered.

In Christ Jesus we are priests, and as priests we can bless ourselves and others by speaking these words and praying them over our life and over the life of others.

1 Peter 2:9

There are great blessings in the spoken words of an individual God has anointed to bless His people.

There are great blessings in your words as well.

Blessings are meant to be declared and released through the mouth.

Genesis 1:28

The Bible has a lot to say about words.

There is power in our words.

Blessings can come by words spoken over you, that's powered by God.

What we say over ourselves, our family, and about our situation matters a lot.

Proverbs 18:21

It is the words we speak that angels respond to.

They respond to our words, our prayers.

Daniel 10:12

When God blesses, He speaks.

When God wants to bless, He instructs.

Words have been and words remain a way God blesses us and spreads blessings through generations.

Through His word, God rescues and brings deliverance.

Psalm 107:20

It is time to bless yourself.

Speak words of blessings over your destiny, life, family, children, career, finances, your future, and your nation.

A husband should speak words of blessings over his wife, and vice versa.

Words of blessings strengthen the marital and family bond.

Parents should speak words of blessings over their children daily.

Teaching our children to use their words to bless themselves, their parents, and others is part of admonishing them in the way of the Lord

Ephesians 6:4

Words of blessings strengthen communities, regions, and nations.

Genesis 26:4

The nation of Israel was not the biggest nation, they didn't have the largest or strongest army, or the most experienced fighting men when they left Egypt.

They were slaves who had lots of issues when they left Egypt.

Joshua 2:8-11

Yet they defeated nations who had more advantages than they did because the anointing, the blessing, God's presence was with them.

Navigating A New Year

 Isaiah  42:16 Our text passage above shows us God is the one who shows us the path to take and leads us in new directions. Your path matters to God. The way you you choose to take is important to God. Your steps are seen by God and ordered by God. Psalm 37:23 The year ahead of you matters to God too. Luke 13:8-9 Each year God has given you the grace to witness, experience, and journey through is another opportunity to be fruitful for God. God wants you to make the most of the year ahead of you to His glory. Human beings do not always know the way and path to go, we can be limited in wisdom. History shows we do not always make the best choices. The year ahead of us will require knowing the way to go, having the wisdom to make the best decisions and choices. Deuteronomy 30:19 To successfully navigate the year we need to stay in God.. To navigate is to find your way through, it is following the right path to a specific destination. Car drivers either buy a GPS/Navigation device system or

Your Father Hears

Matthew 6:5,6 Prayer should be directed to the Father. Jesus showed this when He taught His disciples the Lord's prayer. It should be a great comfort to you to know that the creator and God of all hears you when you pray. This should encourage you to pray and keep praying. In our day to day relationships with people our communication will reduce towards those who don't pay attention when we're talking to them. The good thing about God is that He is never distracted. Know you have His attention when you pray . He can be communicated with. He hears, He created the ears. Psalm 94:9 Jesus encouraged prayer. Matthew 26:40 Jesus taught prayer. Luke 11:1,2 If Jesus prayed, you will need to pray. Why Should You Pray? *Pray because prayer brings God's intervention. Isaiah 38:5,6 *Pray because that's how you are authorized to communicate with God. 1 Thessalonians 15:16-18 *Pray because it is a major way of birthing God's will on earth. 1 Kings 18

The Importance Of The Anointing

Acts 10:38 The anointing is the presence of the Holy Spirit with a person. The anointing speaks, the anointing directs, and the anointing teaches people what they need to know and do. 1 John 2:27 You need the anointing. You can grow in the anointing. It is also possible to depart from the anointing. The anointing won't depart from you but you can depart from the anointing. You should remain in Him. It is worth it investing time to understand the your anointing, growing in your anointing and obeying the anointing. As you get to know a person better by spending time with them, so it is with the anointing in your life. With the anointing, you can't go wrong. The anointing strategically positions you in God's kingdom and in life. Jesus was full of the Holy Spirit. Colossians 2:9 Jesus had the anointing when He was here on earth. Jesus is our example of what our life can be when we have the anointing. Hebrews 12:2 Jesus knew His purpose. Luke 2:49 Jesus
