The Power of Blessings

A blessing is a divine act bestowed upon an individual or group of people, meant to invoke favor and protection. Blessings can be viewed as a bridge between the divine and the human. For example, Moses instructed Aaron and his sons to speak the Aaronic Blessing of Numbers 6:24-27 upon Israel declaring, “You shall invoke My name on Israel and I will bless them.”

All the blessings that Jacob spoke upon his sons in Genesis 49 played out over time. Esau cried an exceedingly bitter cry because his brother Jacob stole his blessing, and Isaac’s blessing could not be reversed. When Jesus began His Sermon on the Mount He pronounced blessings on the poor in spirit, those who mourn, the meek and merciful, etc. With these powerful examples in mind, I am impressed by our LORD to pronounce and invoke God’s blessings of His divine grace, peace and increase upon your lives at this time of new beginnings, and fresh starts (Exodus 12).

Therefore; may the LORD our God empower each of you to forgive every person who has ever injured, robbed or slandered you in your past, remembering that Jesus said, “Father forgive them for they know not what they do (Luk 23:34).” As you release each person may God remove every spirit or soul which has been allowed to torment you (Mat 18:21-35).

May you be blessed exceedingly as you refrain from walking in the counsel of the wicked, standing in the path of the sinners, or sitting in the seat of scoffers. May your delight be in the Word of God as you meditate on it in 2025, day and night. Be like a tree firmly planted by the water, experiencing and displaying abundant fruit of the Spirit (Gal 5:22-23). May your life flourish, not wither, and may you prosper in all you do.”
