The Blessing

Today we are going to bless one another and our family and homes using the pure Word of God. First we start by blessing the Lord; remember bless means to empower to prosper, to succeed.
Psalm 103:1-5
Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, I bless Your his holy name.
Bless the Lord, O my soul, and remember all his benefits:
He forgives all my iniquities;
He heals all my diseases;
He redeems, rescues my life from destruction, sets me at liberty in a safe place;
He crowns me with lovingkindness and tender mercies;
He satisfies my mouth with good things; so that my youth is renewed like the eagle's, strong and powerful and soaring like the eagles.

Psalm 92:11-15 Amplified Bible
I as the uncompromisingly righteous shall flourish like the palm tree, be long-lived, stately, upright, useful, and fruitful.
I shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon, majestic, stable, durable, and incorruptible.
Planted in the house of the Lord, I shall flourish in the courts of my God.
Growing in grace, I shall still bring forth fruit in old age.
I shall be full of sap, of spiritual vitality and rich in the verdure, the vigorous flourishing growing condition, of trust, love, and contentment.
I am a living memorial to show that the Lord is upright and faithful to His promises; He is my Rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.

Deut. 28:1-15 Amplified Bible
I will listen diligently to the voice of the Lord my God, being watchful to do all His commandments which He commands me this day, the Lord my God will set me high above all the nations of the earth.
And all these blessings shall come upon me and overtake me if I heed the voice of the Lord my God.
Blessed shall I be in the city and blessed shall I be in the field (my job).
Blessed shall be the fruit of my body and the fruit of my ground (my pocketbook) and the fruit of my beasts (my paycheck), the increase of my cattle (my savings account and investments) and the young of my flock (my savings account and investments).
Blessed shall be my basket and my kneading trough (what I eat and drink).
Blessed shall I be when I come in and blessed shall I be when I go out.
The Lord shall cause my enemies who rise up against me to be defeated before my face; they shall come out against me one way and flee before me seven ways.
The Lord shall command the blessing upon me in my storehouse (savings and investments and pocketbook) and in all that I undertake. And He will bless me in the land which the Lord my God gives me.
The Lord will establish me as …holy to Himself, as He has sworn to me, if I keep the commandments of the Lord my God and walk in His ways.
And all people of the earth shall see that I am called by the name and in the presence of the Lord….
And the Lord shall make me have a surplus of prosperity, through the fruit of my body, of my livestock (pocketbook, savings, investments), and of my ground (pocketbook, savings, investments) in the land which the Lord swore to my fathers to give me.
The Lord shall open to me His good treasury, the heavens, to give the rain of my land in its season and to bless all the work of my hands; and I shall lend to many nations, but I shall not borrow.
And the Lord shall make me the head, and not the tail; and I shall be above only, and I shall not be beneath, if I heed the commandments of the Lord my God which He commands me this day and am watchful to do them.
And I shall not turn aside from any of the words which He commands me this day, to the right hand or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.
