Overflowing Blessing

Posted on November 15, 2012 by Sue Tinworth

Bless your Neighbours, Regions and Nations.

Blessing releases Gods power! Jesus kingdom rule is released when, in His name:

We bless the Lord through worship, adoration and thanksgiving.

We declare Gods blessing voicing our faith in His character, Biblical promises, and leading.
We speak blessing natural encouragement within authentic relationships with local people.
We are a blessing acting kindly and releasing Jesus power for healing, provision etc.
To Bless is to:

Honour as holy to glorify: Bless the Lord!

Make holy to sanctify.
Invoke divine favour upon others.
Confer well-being, healing, prosperity.
Endow as with talent, gift, calling.
Deuteronomy 10:8 identifies three critical elements: carrying the presence of the Lord, ministering
to the Lord and speaking blessings in His name to the people.
Leviticus 9:22-24 illustrates the power of blessing.
To Overflow Blessing:
We need to first open and align ourselves to receive Gods blessings,
because we can only give away what we have received from Him
Receiving Gods Blessing will.

Encourage, lift up, instruction, comfort.

Heal peoples spirit mind, will, emotions, body and heal land etc
Open people to the Holy Spirits leading.
Release fresh insight, wisdom, authority, power and freedom.
Clarify identity, purpose and destiny as sons of God.
Lead people to godly relationships, influences, opportunities, provision.
Enable people to enter Gods kingdom of righteousness, peace and joy. Ro 14:17
Fill places with Gods presence & fruitfulness.
To become an overflow channel of Gods blessing and rule:

Know you are a priest called to bless. Num 6:22-27, 1 Peter 2:5,9

Ask God to help you identify deeply, as one with the people, business, land, neighbourhood, you
will bless.
Confess all areas unforgiveness, judgment and offence in your own heart e.g. lack of love for
them. Ask God to show you what He wants you to repent of on their behalf so you (all) are
cleansed from past and present sin. Confess your sins and break the curses and consequences
of rejecting Jesus, shedding innocent blood, immorality, broken covenants.. Gen 26:24, Num
16:46-48, Jer 14:7-, Eph 6:10-20
Obey Gods commands and you will enjoy His life giving blessings as a direct consequence.
