    1. The Power of the Blessing

    2. "The Lord bless you and keep you;  The Lord make His face shine upon you, And be gracious to you; The Lord lift up His countenance upon you, And give you peace." ' Num 6:24-26 (NKJV)

    3.  Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, "Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree" ),  that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. Gal 3:13-14 (NKJV)

    4. History of the Blessing in the Bible. God told Adam to: A. Be fruitful and multiply B. Subdue the earth C. Take dominion

    5. When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan. Prov 29:2 (NKJV)

    6. The second blessing spoken of in scripture is found in Genesis 12. I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you; And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed." Gen 12:3 (NKJV)

    7. This is why the United States MUST support Israel at all costs! They are still Gods’ CHOSEN PEOPLE.

    8. Jesus modeled the need to speak blessing. In the Sermon on the Mount he spoke nine.

    9. Blessed are the poor in spirit … those who mourn …hunger, thirst after righteousness … merciful, pure in heart, peacemakers … and those who are persecuted

    10.  One day some parents brought their children to Jesus so he could touch and bless them. But the disciples scolded the parents for bothering him. When Jesus saw what was happening, he was angry with his disciples. He said to them, “Let the children come to me. Don’t stop them! For the Kingdom of God belongs to those who are like these children. I tell you the truth, anyone who doesn’t receive the Kingdom of God like a child will never enter it.” Then he took the children in his arms and placed his hands on their heads and blessed them. Mark 10:13-16 (NLT)

    11. And He led them out as far as Bethany, and He lifted up His hands and blessed them.  Now it came to pass, while He blessed them, that He was parted from them and carried up into heaven. Luke 24:50-51 (NKJV)

    12. So if one of the first things and last things Jesus did was to bless, shouldn’t we follow His example?

    13. The Blessing in spiritual warfare Like a fluttering sparrow or a darting swallow, an undeserved curse will not land on its intended victim. Prov 26:2 (NLT)

    14. The power and permanence of the blessing. Once the blessing is spoken into existence it cannot be broken by men

    15. In Genesis 27 we read of Isaac blessing Jacob, who had deceived him. He told Esau that he could not rescind the blessing that had been spoken.

    16. Over and over the Bible is clear on the need to bless. For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and creature of the sea, is tamed and has been tamed by mankind.  But no man can tame the tongue. It is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.  With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the similitude of God.  Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be so.  Does a spring send forth fresh water and bitter from the same opening? 1 James 3:7-12 (NKJV)
