Biblical Truth
You were created for blessings
You were created to steward blessings
You were created to be a blessing
You are blessed!
You were created for blessings
You were created to steward blessings
You were created to be a blessing
You are blessed!
Abram - "exalted father"
Sarai - "princess"
What must it have been like for 75 years to have been called "exalted father" yet remain fatherless?
If God has promised Isaac, don’t settle for Ishmael
At 100, after 25 years walking with the Lord, the Lord says, let me bless you with a new name. Abraham - Father of a Nations.
The new name reclaims the divine purpose on Abraham. God says, "This is what I created you to do."
A blessing reminds us of the divine purpose!
Then he says to Abraham, don’t call you wife Sarai any longer, but Sarah. Sarah also means princess, but with a different emphasis.
God tells Abraham to bless her… you have to speak this over her
God tells Abraham to change the emphasis of his words
God tells Abraham to add “ah” Princess of Yahweh
Barren things need to be blessed!

HOW TO IMPARTING A BLESSING
1) BLESSINGS ARE IMPARTED WITH TOUCH
13 And they were bringing children to him that he might touch them, and the disciples rebuked them. 14 But when Jesus saw it, he was indignant and said to them, “Let the children come to me; do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God. 15 Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it.” 16 And he took them in his arms and blessed them, laying his hands on them.
(Mk 10:13–16)
2) BLESSINGS ARE IMPARTED WITH A SPOKEN WORD
“Vs 17 Shall Sarah, who is ninety years old, bear a child?”
A Blessing is not Prayer
Prayer is petition. It’s asking God to intervene
A Blessing is not Prophecy
Prophesy is speaking forth what heaven is saying.
A Blessing is a spoken word of divine favor over a person, place or thing
The key indicator that something needs to be blessed is that it is failing to prosper.
3) BLESSINGS ARE IMPARTED WITH KEY INGREDIENTS
Deuteronomy 28:1–14 (ESV)
“And if you faithfully obey the voice of the Lord your God, being careful to do all his commandments that I command you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth. 2 And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, if you obey the voice of the Lord your God. 3 Blessed shall you be in the city, and blessed shall you be in the field. 4 Blessed shall be the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your ground and the fruit of your cattle, the increase of your herds and the young of your flock. 5 Blessed shall be your basket and your kneading bowl. 6 Blessed shall you be when you come in, and blessed shall you be when you go out.
7 “The Lord will cause your enemies who rise against you to be defeated before you. They shall come out against you one way and flee before you seven ways. 8 The Lord will command the blessing on you in your barns and in all that you undertake. And he will bless you in the land that the Lord your God is giving you. 9 The Lord will establish you as a people holy to himself, as he has sworn to you, if you keep the commandments of the Lord your God and walk in his ways. 10 And all the peoples of the earth shall see that you are called by the name of the Lord, and they shall be afraid of you. 11 And the Lord will make you abound in prosperity, in the fruit of your womb and in the fruit of your livestock and in the fruit of your ground, within the land that the Lord swore to your fathers to give you. 12 The Lord will open to you his good treasury, the heavens, to give the rain to your land in its season and to bless all the work of your hands. And you shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow. 13 And the Lord will make you the head and not the tail, and you shall only go up and not down, if you obey the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you today, being careful to do them, 14 and if you do not turn aside from any of the words that I command you today, to the right hand or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.
6 Key Ingredients of a blessing (not all encompassing but a list of staples)

9 The Lord will establish you as a people holy to himself, as he has sworn to you, if you keep the commandments of the Lord your God and walk in his ways. 10 And all the peoples of the earth shall see that you are called by the name of the Lord, and they shall be afraid of you.
B) A BLESSING CONTAINS A WORD OF PROTECTION
7 “The Lord will cause your enemies who rise against you to be defeated before you. They shall come out against you one way and flee before you seven ways.
C) A BLESSING CONTAINS A WORD OF PROVISION
12 The Lord will open to you his good treasury, the heavens, to give the rain to your land in its season and to bless all the work of your hands. And you shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow. 13 And the Lord will make you the head and not the tail, and you shall only go up and not down,
D) A BLESSING CONTAINS A WORD OF MULTIPLICATION
3 Blessed shall you be in the city, and blessed shall you be in the field. 4 Blessed shall be the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your ground and the fruit of your cattle, the increase of your herds and the young of your flock. 5 Blessed shall be your basket and your kneading bowl.
E) A BLESSING CONTAINS A WORD OF PRESERVATION
6 Blessed shall you be when you come in, and blessed shall you be when you go out.
F) A BLESSING CONTAINS A WORD ABOUT GENERATIONS
11 And the Lord will make you abound in prosperity, in the fruit of your womb and in the fruit of your livestock and in the fruit of your ground, within the land that the Lord swore to your fathers to give you.

I am blessed! I am called to walk in blessing and release blessing. I am blessed today, tomorrow and everyday thereafter. I have been blessed with a long, healthy, prosperous life. Therefore I will live a blessed life with a crown of righteousness on my head, a garment of praise above me, and a mantle across my shoulders to do what I am called to do. The Lord has set his Angels all around me to keep my steps straight. I am blessed with strength and wisdom and will walk in the ways of the Lord.
I bless myself this day for an encounter with God. I bless my countenance to draw in from that encounter and my face to glow with God’s glory. His glory shall be seen upon me and it shall influence all who come in contact with me this day.
I bless myself to be in the right place at the right time and to walk with a right spirit before my fellow man and family. I will walk right into destiny and divine appointments today. If there is catastrophe today, I shall not be there when it happens. I shall be hidden in the rock of my God. If there is violence today, I will not be there; the angels of God shall direct me away from the path of the violent. I will hear of it, but it will not come near to me. I am not under the circumstances, under the weather, or under fire. I am mounting up, and I have a broad wing span. I will rise above it all.
The sword of the Lord is drawn against those that seek after my soul. The spear of the Lord is aimed against those Satan has sent to persecute me. No evil communication shall be successful against me because I am God’s favored servant. No curses that are spoken against me, released towards me, or sent my way by the wicked or the religious will be successful against me this day. They will not light upon me but slide down to the ground, sterile and non-effective.
A wall of fire is about me, and a canopy of fire is over me. The banner of the Lord is over my head like a personal rainbow.
I am under authority. I am under the blood, and I am under the whole armor of God. Every weapon formed against me will misfire today. I declare that I am God’s darling (Psalm 35:17). I am the favored of the Lord. A Joseph mantle is upon me. I am set apart for such a time as this. In the spirit world, I walk with a coat of many colors. I have the wisdom to prevail and solve mysteries, the strength to persevere, and the mind to excel and succeed.
My enemies will spread their nets for my feet, but I will see their pit and step around their trap. I shall escape; yet they shall fall into the very hole they prepared for me. This day, God is in the process of frustrating the tokens of the liars. He is bringing great controversy to my enemies’ camp. Confusion totally drowns those that would dare to tamper with God’s purposes for my life.
I bless my:
Blood to flow right!
Heart to beat right!
Bones to be strong!
Muscles to carry me where I need to go!
Skin to insulate and seal me!
Organs to function the way God intended when He put me in my mother’s
womb!
Youth to be renewed like the eagles’!
I do not just believe I am blessed; I walk it out. I will demonstrate it. I decree it to be so. I speak that the mountains be brought down, my valleys be brought up, and the path of the Lord be made straight in my life. My way is not hard nor the path difficult.
I am alive by Jehovah’s decree. I will stay alive and be active and productive. My life will be full of good works so that when Jehovah decrees my time is up I will not linger nor languish, but have treasures to lay at the Master’s feet. It will be a life well lived! I bless myself in Jesus’ Name!”
