Humans were created to bless one another, those they love and those they do not. According to Scripture (Num 6:27), God promises to release more of his blessings, more of his goodness, grace, and love into the world. In Hebrew the word for "bless" means "God's intention." When people speak words of blessing, in God's name, they are praying for the fullness of God's intentions to be released into their lives. In a world where division and polarization are becoming normative, God gives a "new" ministry resource--blessing ministry. The power of blessing can bridge those gaps and bring healing to the individuals involved. There is no individual situation, no community need where blessing prayers are not beneficial. Wherever there is joy and celebration in people's lives, blessing prayers bring only more joy and thanksgiving. There is an awakening in the lives of God's people wherever the ministry of blessing is being taught and practiced. Communities are experiencing greater health. Churches are becoming more alive. Hearts are being healed and lives transformed, simply by blessing others in Jesus' name. God is calling his people to become a people of blessing!
