Blessings (Part 4)

Blessings (Part 4)


There is tremendous power in the words you speak. What you say today creates your tomorrow. If you want a healthy and prosperous future, then you need to use wisdom and speak words that bring blessings. Your future depends on it

To declare blessings means:

-To make known formally or officially

-To state emphatically or authoritatively; affirm.


-To reveal or make manifest; show.

God spoke all things into existence. Since you are created in His image He has given you the authority and the power to declare blessings over your own life. You might be declaring over your life without even knowing it. Have you ever said, “I hate my life,” or “My life sucks,” or “I’m so fat and ugly.” These are negative declarations that will bring negative results into your life. I know, I’ve been there. I’ve learned that what I say or what I think brings what I am focusing on into my life. So, now I desire to declare only positive words over my life. I am beginning to see the changes!

Romans 10:17 NKJV “So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” 

Scripture is a powerful tool we should use to declare over our lives.

Pray Psalm 91 your life. Substitute “you or your” with “I, me, and my,” as follows:

Psalm 91 NLT

"Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty. This I declare about the LORD:
He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; he is my God, and I trust him. For he will rescue me from every trap and protect me from deadly disease. He will cover me with his feathers. He will shelter me with his wings. His faithful promises are my armor and protection. I will not be afraid of the terrors of the night, nor the arrow that flies in the day. I will not dread the disease that stalks in darkness, nor the disaster that strikes at midday. Though a thousand fall at my side, though ten thousand are dying around me, these evils will not touch me. Just open my eyes, and I will see how the wicked are punished. If I make the LORD my refuge, if I make the Most High my shelter, no evil will conquer me; no plague will come near my home. For he will order his angels to protect me wherever I go. They will hold me up with their hands so I won’t even hurt my foot on a stone. I will trample upon lions and cobras; I will crush fierce lions and serpents under my feet! The LORD says, “I will rescue those who love me. I will protect those who trust in my name. When they call on me, I will answer; I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue and honor them. I will reward them with a long life and give them my salvation." 

Change your direction today. You blessing could just be words away!
