SCRIPTURAL BLESSING
COVERING
By Daniel Black
Adapted From: Eph 1:3-15; 1 Cor. 3:17-18; 4:7-16; Is. 11:2-3; Ez. 1:1;
Deu. 28:1-15; 1 Chr. 10:9-10; Ph. 4:7
Blessed be You the God and Father of my Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed
me with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, just as You
chose me in Yourself before the foundation of the world, that I should be holy
and without blame before You in love, having predestined me to adoption as sons
and daughters by Yourself, according to the good pleasure of Your will, to the
praise of the glory of Your grace, by which You made me accepted in the Beloved.
In You I have redemption through Your blood, the forgiveness of sins, according
to the riches of Your grace which You made to abound toward me in all wisdom and
prudence, having made known to us the mystery of Your will, according to Your
good pleasure which You purposed in Yourself, that in the dispensation of the
fullness of the times You might gather together in one all things in Christ,
both which are in heaven and which are on earth-in You. In You also I have
obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of You who
works all things according to the counsel of Your will, that I who first trusted
in Christ should be to the praise of Your glory.
In You I also trusted, after I heard the word of truth, the gospel of my
salvation; in whom also, having believed, I was sealed with the Holy Spirit of
promise, who is the guarantee of my inheritance until the redemption of the
purchased possession, to the praise of Your glory.
Father, I thank you for Your freedom. Now You are the Spirit; and where the
Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. But I, with unveiled face, beholding as
in a mirror the glory of the You, Lord, am being transformed into the same image
from glory to glory, just as by Your Spirit O Lord.
But I have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power
may be of God and not of me. I am hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; I
am perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but
not destroyed- always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus,
that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in my body. For I who live am
always delivered to death for Jesus' sake, that the life of Jesus also may be
manifested in my mortal flesh. So then death is working in me, but life in me.
And since I have the same spirit of faith, according to what is written in the
WORD, "I believed and therefore I spoke," I also believe and therefore
speak, knowing that You who raised up the Lord Jesus will also raise me up with
Jesus, and will present me with You. For all things are for Your sakes, that
grace, having spread through the many, may cause thanksgiving to abound to the
glory of God.
I speak the seven Spirits who are before His throne, to impart into my life
blessings. I speak forth: The Spirit of the Lord, The Spirit of wisdom and
understanding, The Spirit of counsel and might, The Spirit of knowledge and of
the fear of the Lord. Father I ask that the heavens be opened and that I may see
visions of God.
"Now You O Lord said it shall come to pass, if I diligently obey Your
voice, to observe carefully all Your commandments which, You will set me high
above all nations of the earth. And all these blessings shall come upon me and
overtake me, because I obey Your voice O God: "Blessed shall I be in the city, and blessed shall I be in the country.
Blessed shall be the fruit of my body, the produce of my ground and the increase
of my herds, the increase of my cattle and the offspring of my flocks. Blessed
shall be my basket and my kneading bowl. Blessed shall I be when I come in, and
blessed shall I be when I go out. You will cause my enemies who rise against me
to be defeated before my face; they shall come out against me one way and flee
before me seven ways.
"You will command the blessing on me in my storehouses and in all to which
I set my hand, and You will bless me in the land which You are giving me.
"You will establish me as a holy priest consecrated to Yourself, just as
You have sworn to me, if I keep Your commandments and walk in Your ways. Then
all people of the earth shall see that I am called by the name of the Lord, and
they shall be afraid of me. And You will grant me plenty of goods, in the fruit
of my body, in the increase of my livestock, and in the produce of my ground, in
the land of which You swore to my fathers to give me. You O Lord will open to me
Your good treasure, the heavens, to give the rain to my land in its season, and
to bless all the work of my hand. I shall lend to many nations, but I shall not
borrow. And You, Lord, will make me the head and not the tail; I shall be above
only, and not be beneath, if I heed Your commandments and am careful to observe
them. So I shall not turn aside from any of the words which You command me in
Your WORD, to the right or the left, to go after other gods to serve them.
O Lord that You would bless me indeed. That You O Lord would enlarge my
territories. That Your hand would be upon me. And that You would keep me from
evil that I may not cause pain.
Finally, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things
are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things
are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything
praiseworthy-I will meditate and dwell within these things. The things which I
learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace
will be with me.
Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am,
to be content: I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and
in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound
and to suffer need. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. For
greater is He who is in me, than he that is in this world.
Therefore, I speak forth, declare, and prophesy these things forth into my life in the name of
our Lord Jesus Chris.
In
Jesus name I pray, amen!!!!!!
