Hi All! I have a burning in my soul to bless others with words of life. It is not always easy to bless others especially when there is hurt and pain in relationships but God's word is clear on the importance of blessing, blessing those who hurt us and even are our enemies. I just can not keep it in any longer! Blessing has a way of wanting to burst forth so burst forth it is going to do...
Today I want to write a prayer of blessing over you for wisdom, wisdom according to James 3:14-18. Here is the passage from the Amplified Bible: "But if you have bitter jealousy (envy) and contention (rivalry, selfish ambition) in your hearts, do not pride yourselves on it and thus be in defiance of and false to the Truth. This [superficial] wisdom is not such as comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual (animal), even devilish (demoniacal). For wherever there is jealousy (envy) and contention (rivalry and selfish ambition), there will also be confusion (unrest, disharmony, rebellion) and all sorts of evil and vile practices.
But the wisdom from above is first of all pure (undefiled); then it is peace-loving, courteous (considerate, gentle). [It is willing to] yield to reason, full of compassion and good fruits; it is wholehearted and straightforward, impartial and unfeigned (free from doubts, wavering, and insincerity).
And the harvest of righteousness (of conformity to God's will in thought and deed) is [the fruit of the seed] sown in peace by those who work for and make peace [in themselves and in others, that peace which means concord, agreement, and harmony between individuals, with undisturbedness, in a peaceful mind free from fears and agitating passions and moral conflicts]."
I pray blessings for you to crave the wisdom which is from above. Wisdom that is pure, peaceloving, courteous, willing to yield to reason,compassionate, straightforward and free from doubt and insecurity. I pray for you to desire godly wisdom to have a burning in your heart to desire this wisdom. If there is jealousy, contention, selfish ambition, pride and rivalry in your life I pray for the Holy Spirit to reveal this to you. I pray for you to rid yourself of all jealousy, pride, selfish amgition, contention and rivalry in your life. May you be aware of any confusion, unrest, disharmony and rebellion as being "fruits" from the wrong kind of wisdom and may you desire the" fruit" of God's wisdom which brings agreement, harmony, peace, a mind free from fears, agitated passions and moral conflicts.
Lord thank you for the power of blessing. Amen...
Love to you brothers and sisters who will follow this journey of blessing. I don't know each day what I will be blessing but whatever the Lord leads me to pray about I will! Be blessed in His wisdom today! Love ME
