Congregation with hands open to receive blessing

Blessing

“A biblical blessing is

  • a declaration of God’s sovereignty—that God, and God alone, is Lord;
  • an assurance of God’s endless promises, abundant provision, and endless protection; all blessings ultimately emanate from the faithfulness of God;
  • a refresher course in God’s amazing grace; God’s blessings are never deserved or earned;
  • an unmerited gift that elevates the recipient to a place of significance;
  • an impartation of the supernatural power of God into our lives;
  • a feast of encouragement powerful enough to shape our destiny;
  • a declaration of unconditional acceptance and affirmation;
  • an affirmation that we are loved by God; we belong to our faithful Savior; we are children of the King.”
