Nay and I will be married 40 years on the 20th of July, and we learned long ago to speak blessings over each other every day. In the podcast this week, these are the items I shared:
Blessings
- I am blessed with God’s supernatural wisdom.
- I am blessed with an obedient heart and with a positive outlook on life.
- I declare that any curse that has ever been spoken over me, any negative evil word that has ever come against me, is broken right now, in the name of Jesus.
- I am blessed with a strong will and with self-control and self-discipline.
- I am blessed with success, with supernatural strength, with promotion, and divine protection.
- I am blessed with creativity, with courage, with ability and with abundance.
- I am blessed with a great marriage, a great family, with good friends, with good health, and with faith, favor, and fulfillment.
- I am blessed in the city. I am blessed in the country. I am blessed when I go in. I am blessed when I come out.
- I declare that everything I put my hands to do work out for my good and for God’s glory.
- I declare that I am blessed!
Proverbs 22:29
Do you see a man who is skilled in his work? He will not stand before unknown men, but before Kings and Princes
Psalm 100
A psalm. For giving grateful praise.
1 Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth.
2 Worship the Lord with gladness;
come before him with joyful songs.
3 Know that the Lord is God.
It is he who made us, and we are his[a];
we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.
4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving
and his courts with praise;
give thanks to him and praise his name.
5 For the Lord is good and his love endures forever;
his faithfulness continues through all generations. (From Bible Gateway)
When Did You Learn to Fear?
I think we don’t have to learn to fear, but we learn who and what to fear all the time. Is is a conspiracy or just the way we are because of the fall of Adam and Eve?
Our scripture reference is Isaiah 8:12, “Do not say, ‘A conspiracy,’ concerning all this people call a conspiracy, Nor be afraid of their threats, nor be troubled.”
