The world is in a downward spiral. As Christians most of us feel the need to "do something". Whether that be evangelizing to others about accepting Yeshua as their Savior to witnessing to them how the Lord has healed or converted their heart.
We all know the power of prayer is mighty. However, it has only been in the last couple of years (since I hung up the detectors) that I've learned to truly "Bless others". Whether it is our church leaders, the President, my children and even my enemies. James knew all too well that there is power in the tongue and we cannot speak Blessings and cursings at the same time. This is one area in my life where I've truly tried to make an effort and not only change for myself, but teach our children as well to be mindful of everything that comes from their mouths.
Having said all of this, there is a great book a picked up a couple of years ago about Blessing your Spirit. (I use these prayers as well for my enemies). It is a fantastic book that drives home the power of Blessing others. Just wanted to share with all of you.
Now, I'm sure that there may be a couple of folks out here who may disagree with this book. I completely understand. Whether you're a dispensationalist or covenental, a trichotomist or a dichotomist, a Lutheran, Catholic, Southern Baptist, Pentecostal, Presbyterian, Episcopalian, and the list goes on, I'm sure I will have inadvertently offended someone. So, I apologize in advance. However, I do kindly ask that if I have offended you to please accept my apology and forgive me. Please do not PM me and try to explain how wrong I am with suggesting this book. There seems to be a lot of back and forth out here on which Christian denomination or viewpoint is the correct one. I am at peace in my relationship with Jesus and our loving Father Adonai, and will always take my viewpoints to the Lord in prayer to make sure I am not following any false doctrines.
Thanks and have a Blessed week everyone
In Yeshua,
