The word "blessing" in Greek (eulogia) literally means 1. A God given gift causing our work to succeed. 2. God's presence with us. 3. God giving us strength, power and help. 4. God working in and through us to do good. The first thing that God did in relation to humanity was to "bless" His creation. The Lord sustained His work by blessing it. The life and history of God's people are affected by blessings and curses. Jesus even blessed the little children. Can you just imagine with me for a moment Jesus Christ placing blessings on the children and what favor He had put upon them? Everything that these children touched would now prosper. God had clothed them with strength, power and help from heaven.
How many of us are guilty of speaking curses on our children? You never mind.... Your so disobedient....... You have a smart mouth.....
Does this sound familiar? Let's turn our speech to words of life and blessings over our children. We will begin to see them soar by releasing the presence of Jesus Christ to work in their lives. We as parents are our children's covering. Let's cover them with favor, power, strength, love and help from God! Speak this declaration over your children every morning and night. You will begin to see things change:
My children are blessed and highly favored by the Lord Jesus Christ. His cleansing flow of blood covers them from the top of their heads to the bottom of their feet. Nothing that is against God can come near my children. The angels of the Lord encamp around my children keeping them in safety everywhere they go. The spirit of the Lord lives and dwells in them bringing life and perfection to their entire bodies. They are well, 100% whole, they have peace of mind and body. The face of our Lord Jesus Christ shines upon them and they thrive in the presence of Jesus every second of every day! In Jesus name! Amen!
Hey Heather, my name is John. I read a lot of blogs on religion and prayer and I've i feel like I've ended up here once before. I'd love to hear your thoughts about this prayer exchange website PrayerMarket.com I thought it was an interesting idea and would be curious to hear what you (or other Christians) think about it
