The Power of the Blessing
Texts: “Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, “Speak to Aaron and to his sons, saying, ‘Thus you shall bless the sons of Israel. You shall say to them: The LORD bless you, and keep you; The LORD make His face shine on you, And be gracious to you; The LORD lift up His countenance on you, And give you peace.’” So they shall invoke [put, set or fix] My name on the sons of Israel, and I then will bless them” (Num. 6:22–27, NASB).
“And He [Jesus] led them out as far as Bethany, and He lifted up His hands and blessed them. While He was blessing them, He parted from them and was carried up into heaven. And they, after worshiping Him, returned to Jerusalem with great joy, and were continually in the temple praising God.” (Lk 24:50–53, NASB).
“The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds” (2 Co 10:4, NIV).
