The Book of BlessingsGod is the Author of all blessings. As we study His Word, many examples become evident. Once upon a time, blessings were spoken in the home on a daily basis. But somehow, this practice has waned throughout the 2,000 year history of the Church. The responsibility now belongs almost exclusively to the clergy. The Book of Blessings reintroduces this observance to impact others with the language of God. As we study and restore the priestly duty of blessing by all believers, we will discover the profound influence it can have on our families, our congregations, and our society. What People are Saying"We have been so "blessed" as have the many others who purchased the book at camp. We hear these blessings spoken over us and see them sent to others via an email when a prayer need arises! WOW.... it is an awesome book!" - Linda (Charlotte, NC) Blessings about ConfrontationFor we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. (Ephesians 6:12, KJV) Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. (Romans 8:37, KJV) If we are alive and breathing, then we are probably facing a struggle. Life in a sin-plagued world is not always a walk in the park. At times, it can seem as though we move from one problem to another. Often we cause our own troubles. Some of life's challenges are circumstantial; others are direct attacks from the enemies of God who hate us because we are His children. We encounter criticism, obstacles, and challenges throughout our earthly journey. But Jesus told us in John 16:33, "In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world" (NASB). The Scriptures assure us that we serve the King of Kings. He is in control of the entire universe and He is prepared to defend us against the challenges we confront. |
