For those of you who were not aware of this incredible privilege that we have already received from the Lord, I will go ahead and give you some of the key verses from the Bible showing you that we have been definitely granted this type of authority and privilege from the Lord. I will then end this article giving you some examples of how you can use this powerful privilege in the name of Jesus. As you will see with some of the examples I will give you below, there is literally an infinite number of things and situations that you can try and bless in the name of Jesus. And when you do bless other people or other situations, real life spiritual transactions can actually take place with the person or situation you are blessing. In other words, the Holy Spirit can actually move to impart the specific blessing that you have just prayed over someone.

8. When you have eaten and are full, then you shall bless the Lord your God for the good land which He has given you. (Deuteronomy 8:10) 9. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all of His benefits. (Psalm 103:2) 10. With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the similitude of God. (James 3:9) 11. Otherwise if you bless with the spirit, how will he who occupies the place of the uniformed say Amen at your giving of thanks, since he does not understand what you say? (1 Corinthians 14:16) 12. The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ? (1 Corinthians 10:16) 13. And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth. (Genesis 1:22) 14. But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you. (Matthew 5:44) 15. Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. (Romans 12:14) 16. But whatever house you enter, first say, Peace to this house. And if the son of peace is there, your peace will rest on it; if not, it will return to you. (Luke 10:5-6) Notice in addition to God being able to directly bless us and we blessing other people in His name, that we can also directly bless God ourselves. As you can see from the above verses, not only did God the Father bless in the Old Testament and Jesus blessed in the New Testament, but both the apostles in the New Testament and some of the patriarchs in the Old Testament also blessed others in the name of God. When Jesus left and ascended to His Father, He told us to do what He did. He has thus given us His authority and His power to carry on His supernatural ministry. And part of that supernatural ministry is the right to be able to bestow blessings upon one another in His name.

5. Ask God to bless someone with knowledge and wisdom if they are having a hard time in trying to solve a personal problem. 6. Ask God to bless your finances or someone elses finances if they have run into trouble. 7. Ask God to bless your house or any other valuable personal items you may have. 8. Ask God to bless our country and our political leaders. Ask God to bless our leaders with His knowledge and wisdom so they can make the right decisions with the tough times we are now all facing. 9. Ask God to bless any new adventure or any new job you are now taking. 10. Ask God to personally bless you with His knowledge and wisdom so you can make all the right choices in this life. 11. Ask God to bless you with favor at your place of employment. 12. Bless the marriages of all of your children so they can stay under the hand and covering of God. 13. Bless others with joy, peace, and happiness in the Lord. As you can see from these types of examples, there are just a wide variety of things that you can bless in the name of Jesus. You can pronounce blessings on yourself, other people, different type of situations like marriages and pregnancies, and actual objects like your houses and some of your personal items and possessions.

Conclusion
Many of us have heard the words, God bless you, so many times, that we really have forgotten what this principle is all about and how powerful it really is, especially if it is being done under the unction of the Holy Spirit. Again, real life transactions can actually occur in the spiritual realm when we pronounce a blessing on someone or something. The Holy Spirit Himself can move on the person or situation that we are pronouncing the blessing over and actually impart exactly what we are blessing that someone with. That is why it would help if you can be very specific with what you are blessing someone with as versus just doing a general type of blessing. To those of you who have never really tried out this privilege we now have with the Lord, you might want to start experimenting with it, as you never know when God will move to actually back you up with what you are blessing. Ask, and you just may receive some incredible blessings, for either yourself or someone else you may be blessing.

Eileen says: January 23, 2013 at 2:04 pm Thank you for your information on bestowing blessing. I have a question. Years ago I was told that we are not to say God Bless you to the unbeliever. This person also had a scripture to back up this statement. Is this true and if so what is the scripture reference. I just want to know the truth in the matter. Thank you for helping me find it. Blessings to you. Eileen recently posted..The Return of Jesus
