THE POWER OF A BLESSING
kind of like dry ground that has some rain falling on it. The ground will soak it
up quickly. If you begin to saturate your life with blessings, it will become like
standing water. Also, this will work for difficult situations. Lift you hands while
in prayer and speak over situations the change you would like to see. I do
believe in being a positive person that speaks positively about the circum­
stances around our lives. This is a protection, but what I am speaking of
when I say blessings is a deliberate placing of words that are released by
faith. These words spoken by faith will bring change.
Our homes
One of the things that totally changed my life was speaking blessings over
my home, land, and vehicle. The husband should bless his wife and chil­
dren. After this he should bless his home, land, and vehicle. I have gone into
every room and anointed it with oil, then I would lift my hands as a priest and
speak the positive words that I wanted to see. Over bedrooms you can
speak sweet rest and pleasant dreams. Over kitchens one could speak
blessings of health and healthy food and drink. Over restrooms one could
speak a blessing of health. Over dining and living rooms, one could speak
blessings of pleasant fellowship. I have a blessing I speak over the home
and land in general. I will say “The Lord bless you to be a sanctuary of rest
and renewal, a haven of peace, and may sounds of joy and laughter grace
you in Jesus’ name.” Someone could bless a vehicle with protection and the
interior with pleasant fellowship. These are simply suggestions. You can use
whatever blessings you want. As you do this, don’t be surprised when your
life becomes much more warm and loving.
Blessings connected with revival
John Kilpatrick (the pastor over the Pensacola revival) was given a great
revelation about blessings that he says transformed his life and ministry. I
have heard him say that speaking blessings helped prepare for the move of
God. He started in his home with his family, and revival broke out in his
home before it did in his church. He then began to take communion weekly
with his church and speak a blessing over the congregation from the pulpit. I
have some blessings listed in my book, A Warfare Manual for Ministers.
What we must understand is that negative words are curses. When we
speak them it can release demons to be at work to help bring to pass what
was spoken. When we bless, it releases angels and the power of God to
bring the good to pass we would like to see. Some people will truly want to
see positive change, but they will constantly speak curses and prevent the
positive change from coming. I have seen a fast move of God with my
church I pastor. The reason is because I speak blessings in my prayer time
over the church, ministry, finances, and I weekly bless the congregation from
the pulpit. This has released swift victories and major positive change. There
