During this time of the year many redecorate their homes and even prepare their dwellings with a new look for the season along with planning new ideas to make necessary changes within their lives. One of the most important pieces we must do in order to walk freely in our own lives, is to forgive and release others who have hurt us in anyway.

But that is only Part 1 of the process. The other part of that is to speak the blessings of the Lord upon people in your life in such a way that it impacts your own life. The old song, “That you always hurt the one you love,” could carry a ring of truth. People can be negatively affected, by others who have been hurt and can’t seem to untangle themselves from anger, resentment and feelings of frustration. That kind of soulish force can affect the person who carries those feelings in more ways than they will ever know.

Take time in this season to not just forgive others, but speak the blessings of God over their lives with a sincere heart. Pray yourself through and there will come a cleansing and purifying that will touch you and those who are around you. To bless someone is to do that which the Father does in our daily lives. It takes us out of self-focus and places us back into an God-focus. It helps us look at the big picture and not just a close-in box mentality. We all have much work to do and the clutter of issues need to be swept out before we redecorate.

I have been wanting to talk about this for a couple weeks. Many times it is issues like this that we need to talk about in the body of Christ. It’s not just dealing with binding up the devil nor trying to find a devil under every rock. I think we give the devil too much credit, for stuff we need to get worked out ourselves.

I speak the blessings of the Lord over you this day…. May you be overtaken by suddenlies, glorious visitations, wealth, health, Joy and the peace of God. May you see things in your life that you have never seen before…. may great revelation and deliverance from misunderstandings be yours today. In Jesus Holy Name.

May the Lord bless you and keep you, May the Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious to you, May the Lord lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace. Shalom!
