Good morning blessed one!

The BLESSING OF GOD is released through words.  When God BLESSED man, He spoke words over him.  So, likewise we must speak the BLESSING over ourselves and our children.  Ephesians 1:3 (ESV) declares,

  • Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has BLESSED us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places…

When we thank and praise God that He has BLESSED us in Christ with every spiritual blessing, we are RELEASING THE BLESSING.  Everything we do in the kingdom, we do by faith, and thanking God for His promise to us is what RELEASES THE BLESSING.  

The BLESSING is not RELEASED without words being spoken.  We have to acquire by our faith what God has promised us in His Word.  

When God BLESSED mankind, He spoke words.  Genesis 1:22 says,

  • And God BLESSED them, SAYING, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth…”

To BLESS means to empower to prosper.  On the contrary, to curse is to speak negatively of something or someone.  Jesus cursed the fig tree in Mark 11:12-14, 20 by speaking negatively to it, and it caused a physical reaction.  

The BLESSING is an empowerment to produce peace (wholeness, nothing missing, nothing broken) in every area of your life.  We can see an example of this in Genesis 12:2-3 when God BLESSED Abraham.  He said,

  • I will BLESS you and make your name great; and you shall be a BLESSING.  I will BLESS those who BLESS you, and I will curse him who curses you; and in you all the families of the earth shall be BLESSED.

Wow family, God’s BLESSING was pronounced upon us thousands of years ago!  Take it now by faith, in Jesus’ Name.  Remember, we are BLESSED to be a BLESSING!  Deuteronomy 8:18 declares,

  • And you shall remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day.

Every morning when I am praying and confessing the Word of God over you, our family, and our ministry, I do what 1 Chronicles 4:10 says ~ I ask God to enlarge our territories and expand our borders.  I go before God with boldness, like Hebrews 4:16 tells us to do and declare His BLESSING on us every day!  

I encourage you to ask God to enlarge your territory.  The only thing that’s stopping you from receiving more is a limited mindset.  

I want to encourage you because every day there’s some evil planned for you because you are a threat to satan’s kingdom.  Ask God to deliver you from the evil of the day (see Matthew 6:13).  

God has BLESSINGS and protection that you need every day, so be bold to declare God’s Word over your life and the life of your family members.  Put God in remembrance of His promises (see Isaiah 43:26).  Pray this over your children ~ it’s from Isaiah 44:3

  • “…I will pour My Spirit on your descendants, and My BLESSING on your offspring…”

God’s Word is a more sure Word of prophecy (see 2 Peter 1:19).  I always pray God’s Word because I know that in doing so, I am praying His will.  Remember that God has magnified His Word above all His Name (see Psalm 138:2) and that God’s Word is forever settled in heaven (see Psalm 119:89).  Job 22:28 declares,

  • You will also declare a thing, and it will be established for you; so light will shine on your ways.

RELEASING THE BLESSING today,
