BLESSINGS
UNDERSTANDING BLESSINGS:
Blessings are spoken directly to the human spirit—the inner-most and spiritual part of our being—not to God, as would happen in a prayer. [Ps.51:6; Ps.103:1; Ps.139:13; Prov.20:27; Eph.3:16]
By speaking directly to the spirit, you are by-passing the soul-mind with its judgments, fears, emotional issues, etc. Sometimes you may need to speak to their soul [mind, will, emotions], and tell their soul to step aside and not interfere while you speak to the spirit.
Spirit-blessings contain scriptures, scriptural concepts [faith, hope, joy, etc.], and godly principles. And—a blessing to our spirit lands differently within us - a much different dynamic than hearing a prayer.
Speak blessings OUT LOUD. Speak the person’s name and call their human spirit to come to attention—inviting it to come forward and listen; speak kindly and confidently.
If you want to bless someone who is not with you, you can do it from another room or location.
Spirit blessings reach a depth of healing not often touched by a prayer to God about them.
When the word ‘Spirit’ is capitalized, it’s referring to the Holy Spirit. When ‘spirit’ is not capitalized, it’s referring to our personal human spirit [except when it’s the first word of a sentence].
Begin each blessing by inviting their spirit to come forward to receive…
Blessing for desire for salvation:
(Name), I call your human spirit to attention in the name of Jesus of Nazareth. Soul, I ask you to step aside while I speak with the spirit.
Spirit, God loves you so much and His love for you is unconditional. God longs to have an intimate relationship with you. He wants you reconciled to Him so much that He gave His precious Son, Jesus, to die for you and pay the penalty for your sins. Spirit, the most joyous moment of your life will be when you receive his reconciliation and accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior.
Spirit, I bless you with a hunger and desire for a salvation relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. I bless you with your spiritual eyes being opened to see and embrace the redemptive love of Jesus in your heart. I bless your heart to be good and fertile ground for the planting of the Word.

Blessing of Identity:
Spirit, I bless you to life; I welcome you to life because the Father has willed you into existence. You are not just the product of your earthly father and mother; spirit, you were specifically designed and created by your Heavenly Father who loves you completely from a heart that is passionate for you.
Spirit, I bless you with the Word of God in Ps.139:13-16 – "For You created my inmost being; You knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from You when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, Your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be."
I bless you, spirit, with knowing deep within your inner-most being who God is in you and who you are in Him. I bless you to be able to rest confidently and securely in your godly identity.

(Name), I call your spirit to attention to listen, and I invite you to receive this blessing. Spirit, I bless you with Heb.4:12-13 being a reality in your life—hear and receive the word of God, "For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account."
Spirit, I bless you with continual growth and maturity deep within your being—that part of you that God created in His likeness; your spiritual DNA proves you are His child. I bless you with seeing and experiencing the Father-heart of God so that you can relate to Him as a true son/daughter that allows you to fully know who God is in you and who you are in Him. Be blessed with knowing you cannot earn His love and you don't need to—He cannot love you any more than He already loves you; He freely gives you His complete love and acceptance because you are His child, His design, and His creation. I bless you with fully embracing the reality that you are His beloved child—greatly cherished and treasured.
Be blessed with a hunger and pursuit for spiritual freedom. I bless the spark of life within you to ignite into a godly flame that will burn away all that is not of Father God in your life. I bless you, spirit, with Holy Spirit encounters with the living God who loves you from a passionate, pure heart.
I bless you with greater distinction between your spirit and your soul, greater spiritual maturity, and with your whole being—spirit, soul, and body being in perfect alignment under the direction of the Spirit of God. I bless you with Eph.3:19 "...that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God."
"Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us" (Eph.3:20), I bless you, spirit, with life, growth, and spiritual maturity in Jesus' precious and mighty name. Amen and Amen.

Spirit, I bless you with faith made strong by Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith. Be blessed with being fully satisfied that He is keeping His word to you, no matter how long it takes or how contrary your circumstances may look. Be blessed with the confidence that your Father is fully able to keep His word and He promises that it never returns without having fulfilled its purpose (Isaiah 55:11).

Blessing for Your Spirit and Surgery:
Introduction: This is based on the principle that the Kingdom of God is portable – meaning, because Jesus lives in you, the Kingdom of God is also within you – and Kingdom authority goes wherever you go.
Blessing:
(Name), I call your spirit to attention. I invite your spirit to come forward to receive this blessing and instructions concerning your upcoming surgery.
Spirit, it’s a fact that you have spiritual authority everywhere you pay rent, and when you are in the hospital you are paying high rent. Therefore, you have complete spiritual authority over that space while you are there.
It’s important, spirit, beforehand to take authority over all those spaces – registration, pre-op, surgery room, post-op, and recovery – and to emphatically declare the Kingdom of God is portable, and Kingdom laws reign supreme while you are there.
Before you leave home, spirit, call attention to the demonic over those spaces and declare the you, a child of the Most High God, are coming, and when you come, they have no authority over that area because Kingdom Laws reign supreme. Declare it in the authority of the name of Jesus, the Lord of Lords and King of Kings. I bless you to do that in Jesus’ name.
Also, spirit, you are not subject to anesthesia. When the anesthetic goes into your blood stream, your soul and body are completely neutralized, but you are not. You, spirit, will be completely conscious and can have complete dominion and authority while the body is anesthetized; it’s your job to monitor everything that goes on. I release you, spirit, to use your spiritual authority, and I instruct you to notify any medical personnel to alert them if there is something they need to know. I authorize you, spirit, to take charge of the process, and I bless you in that endeavor in Jesus’ name.
Also, spirit, important issues after surgery are swelling and pain control. And, spirit, even though you may have never done what I’m going to instruct you to do, I assure you that God created and designed in you these abilities. Turn your face to the Father and receive those instructions from Him.
I instruct you, spirit, as soon as surgery is over, to vigorously accelerate the repair of the capillaries in the area of incisions and trauma. Rather than avoiding the places that have been traumatized, you need to micro-manage the process. Scavenge the body for the amino acids and other resources needed to accelerate the healing process and see to it that those capillaries are rebuilt extremely quickly. Doing that will enable the waste products to be taken out and processed by the organs that do that, so there’s minimal swelling.
At the same time, spirit, you need to work with the nerves to calm the pain from the nerves being severed. It is totally appropriate for you, the human spirit, to ask the Holy Spirit to help you in knowing how to help the body. I bless you to do that in the name of Jesus, the Christ, or Nazareth.
Joshua 1:5 and Blessing of growth and maturity:
I bless you with the ability to comprehend and embrace God’s truths concerning your God-planned design and purpose. Be blessed as you receive healing and empowerment from God as you experience His love in a deeper way, and as you learn to walk in the divine plan that your Heavenly Father has for your life.
I bless you with peace as you go through the process of growth and maturity. Be blessed with confidence that Father God planned for your life, and He has never left you—where you are, He is; where you go, He goes with you; where you stand, He stands with you. I bless you with the same word God spoke to Joshua in Joshua 1:5 – “No one will be able to stand up against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you.”
Be blessed with settled assurance of who you are in your Father—His beloved child—and I bless you with embracing the Father—heart of God, so you will have the ability to see, experience, and rest in knowing who your Father is in you. I bless you to discover and embrace more fully who God has already designed and planned for you to be. Be blessed to know, that in your Father’s eyes and heart, you are legitimate and worthy of dignity and respect.
I bless you in the name of the God of all unconditional love. Amen.

I bless that discovery within you, and I bless your God-destiny to unfold and come to fulfillment.
I bless you in the name of Jesus who said in John 10:10 that He came to give you abundant life—life to the full. Amen.
Jeremiah 29:11:
(Name), in the name of the true Lord Jesus Christ, I invite your personal human spirit—that part of you that reflects the image of God—to come to attention to listen and receive this blessing. Soul, I ask you to step aside and not interfere or stand in judgment while I speak to the spirit.
Spirit, I bless you by acknowledging that you are legitimate; you are on earth by God’s design and plan, and you are extremely valuable—in fact, your worth is beyond measure to your heavenly Father, to me, to your family, and to the Kingdom of God.
Spirit, I bless you with freedom to be able to release those things that are hindrances or are holding you back from receiving all that Father—God has for you, and from reaching His full intention for your life.
Listen to God’s word for you in Jer.29:11 - “’For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.’” Spirit, be blessed with knowing that God does have specifically designed plans for you. I bless that discovery within you, and I bless your God-destiny to unfold and come to fulfillment.
I bless you in the name of Jesus who said in John 10:10 that He came to give you abundant life-life to the full. Amen.
Jeremiah 29:11 & Ezekiel 11:19-21:
Spirit, I bless you with God’s promises to the Israelites in Ezekiel 11:19-21, which are also promises to you – “I will give them an undivided heart and put a new spirit in them; I will remove from them their heart of stone and give them a heart of flesh. Then they will follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws. They will be my people, and I will be their God.” Be blessed with those words resonating deep within you.
I bless you, spirit, with experiencing God’s Father-heart for you. Be blessed as His unconditional love permeates every part of your being because you are precious to Him, you are acceptable to Him, and He is yours and you are His.
I bless your identity and legitimacy to be all He planned for you, in Jesus’ name, amen.
Zephaniah 3:17 & Psalm 139:14-16:

Spirit, I bless you with God’s word in Zeph.3:17 – “The Lord your God is with you, He is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, He will quiet you with His love. He will rejoice over you with singing.”
Be blessed, spirit, to receive and experience your Father’s great love for you right now. Along with your Heavenly Father, I celebrate who He designed and created you to be.
Listen to what your Father says about you, how He made you, and how He sees you in Ps.139:14-16 – You are fearfully and wonderfully made; He knit you together in your mother’s womb, and His eyes saw your unformed body; and all the days ordained for you were written in His book before one of them came to be. I bless you to receive that word for yourself.
Spirit, know that God celebrates His marvelous design of you. He smiles at your beauty. He loves who He created you to be. He loves that you are designed and created in His image.
I bless you in the name of God, your Creator, who made you and formed you. (Deut.32:6b)

I bless you in the name of the Spirit of adoption and sonship (Romans 8:15). Amen.
Blessing for Healing (and to Soul):
(Name), I call to your human spirit—spirit, I invite you to come forward to receive this blessing. Spirit, usually I engage with you first, but today I invite you to listen as I speak to the Soul first.
Soul, I want you to know that it was not God’s desire or plan that you be wounded in life, and I, too, am sorry for all that has happened to hurt you. Soul, there is a better way than to protect yourself. Early in life you didn’t have a choice but to defend and protect, and I want to thank you for doing that job to the best of your ability. But, Soul, as hard as it may be for you to accept, Jesus is the best Protector and Defender anyone can have, and He is on the job 24/7. One of the good things about Jesus as your Protector and Defender is that He does it out of love and not fear. Soul, I would encourage you to trust Jesus and release your hold so that the spirit and the Holy Spirit can do their work.
Soul, I bless you with the ability to know what changes Jesus can make in your life and allow Jesus and your spirit to minister to you. I encourage you to allow the light of God to shine on your darkness to reveal the sin, fear, judgments, anger, self-hatred, and hurts that you hold in your heart so that you may receive the healing and freedom of the Lord Jesus Christ. As you do that, Soul, you will experience the truth of the Word of God in John 8:32 that says, “He who the Son sets free is free indeed.” Soul, I bless you with the willingness, ability, and desire to allow the Lord Jesus Christ to cleanse you from every root that holds sickness, disease, sin, and iniquity in your body and life. I bless you in the Name of Jesus of Nazareth.
Spirit, thank you for your patience. Spirit, you know that God has placed within you everything that you need to live out all of the days that God has ordained for you. You can see and understand spiritual things that the Soul can’t. Spirit, I would encourage you to go before the Father and allow His light to shine on you. And, spirit, you have the ability to reflect that light to the Soul, so I say, reflect away! I would encourage you to get instructions from the Father and then minister to the needs in the Soul.
Spirit, I bless you with being all you are designed to be and all that you are designed by God to do.
I bless you in the name of Jesus of Nazareth.
Blessing for a life of greater faith:
(Name), in the name of Jesus of Nazareth I invite your human spirit—the part of you created in God’s image—to come forward to receive this blessing. Soul, I ask you to stand aside and not stand in judgment.
Spirit, hear God’s word for you from Jer. 29:11: “I know the plans I have for you; plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Be blessed, spirit, with living out those desires and promises of God.
Spirit, I remind you that you are created out of God’s light. You are not a substitute or a castoff; you are an exact duplication of God. That means you are not inferior in any way. And, because the soul and body get tired and overwhelmed and have fears, that in no way diminishes who you are, what you know, and what you can do. God made you able to understand things that the soul can’t understand—and that’s okay because it’s by God’s plan and design. God made you able to do things that the soul can’t do—and that’s okay. And, spirit, God made you able to stand in faith on things that the soul can only dream of doing—and that’s a good thing. God has placed within you everything you need to be able to live your life triumphantly, joyfully, and with all the strength that you need to not only get through this hour, but to get through today, tomorrow, and all the tomorrows in front of you.
Spirit, I declare to you the truths in Ps.103. The Lord says that He “heals all your diseases; He redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion; He satisfies your desires with good things and He will renew your youth.” Spirit, you have the ability to not take on the burdens of the soul and body and they are not yours to carry. Praise God that He created you differently. God created you with the ability to receive power and strength from Him directly. He allows His wondrous light to shine on your potential and you are strengthened.
I bless you, spirit, with continued growth as you discover the treasures buried deep within you that God is eagerly waiting for you to unpack. Your potential to ‘walk on water’ is just ahead of you. Your potential to raise the dead is within your grasp. Spirit, I say, “Walk…walk on the water!” Keep your eyes focused on Jesus and His ability to keep you on top. I encourage you, spirit, to stand before the Father with open arms and an open heart and tell Him you are willing. Let His light shine on you and intensify your brilliance. Allow His light to unlock your hidden treasures. Speak to the generational rust in the locks to be removed. Allow the smaller locks to be dissolved by the greatness of your God. And then, ask the Father if there is anything else that would keep you from opening the lock of total faith. Spirit, I bless you with the ‘gift of faith’.
I bless you with the ability to wholly embrace and live out these promises of God. Be blessed with the ability to know how to minister to your body and soul all these promises and possibilities from God.
I bless you in the name of the most awesome God. Amen and Amen.
Blessing of Legitimacy:
(Name), I call your human spirit to come to attention. Spirit, I invite you to come forward and hear the Word of the Lord for you.
Spirit, you get your legitimacy from God because He loves you more than you could ever know. God loves you, unconditionally, because He created you and He gave you the gift of love. Spirit, God created you out of Himself so He can’t help but love you. He made you extraordinary, so special, so unique that there’s never been another person like you.
Spirit, you are different from the Soul and that is okay, and it is good—that is how God created you. And, spirit, I believe you have taken the blame for some things that the Soul has done and I’m sorry for that. Spirit, whatever the Soul has done, it does not diminish who you are. You are created out of God’s light—you were not created out of something inferior; you are not a mistake or wrong. God planned for you from before the foundation of the world and He was eagerly waiting the time for you to be born.
Spirit, you have access to Almighty God because He loves you and wants to communicate with you and have a relationship with you. God has extended His love to you, and He invites you to reciprocate. God so desperately wants you back with Him that He sent Jesus to die on the cross for you, to reconcile you to the Father, once again. That’s how legitimate you are. That’s how passionate God is about you, spirit.
So, spirit, know you are loved and have been loved from the moment of conception. God knows your name and is not ashamed of you. The infinite Creator God of the universe throws open His arms and welcomes you.
I bless you with walking in that legitimacy, savoring it, and communicating it to the Soul. I bless you, spirit, with being released from the shame of the soul and its actions.
I bless you with the ability to receive and comprehend how special you are and how much Father God loves you and desires you to walk in His light daily.
I bless you in the name of Jesus of Nazareth. Amen.
Blessing of Legitimacy:
(Name), I call your God-given human spirit to come to attention. Spirit, I invite you to come forward to listen and hear the Word of the Lord for you today.
Spirit, I want you to know that you are designed and created by Father God. God waited for all millennia until the time when you would be born. You are not an accident; God planned your existence from the beginning of time, and He was so pleased and delighted when the time came for Him to place your spirit into your newly conceived body.
Spirit, what the Psalmist David wrote about himself in Ps.139 is also God’s declaration about you. The Father says, “For I created your inmost being; I knit you together in your mother’s womb. You are fearfully and wonderfully made.” When God designed and created you, He did it with part of His own light. You were not an after-thought to Father God. He purposely created you out of His own light, out of His own being and when you shine, you are shining God’s light. I bless you with knowing you are fearfully and wonderfully made.
I bless you with knowing and understanding how legitimate you are to God. Father God, I ask you to remove the lies that ___ believes about himself/herself. I ask You to cover them with the precious blood of your Son, Jesus. Father, I ask You to bathe ___ in Your light; and as You do, I ask for all rejection and shame to be washed away.
Holy Spirit, I ask you to clothe ___ in the Father’s garment of legitimacy—that garment that tells her and the world that she is planned and purposed by Father God.
I bless you with knowing how great and immense is the Father’s love for you.
I bless you in the Name of Jesus of Nazareth. Amen.
Wake Up Blessing – Eph.5:14: – If your spirit has not been validated or is slumbering:
(Name), I speak to your human spirit—the part of you that’s created in God’s image—the truest essence of who you are—and spirit, I invite you to come forward to listen and receive this blessing from God’s Word. If you aren’t free to move forward, I give you permission to stay where you are and listen from there—you will be able to hear and reach out and take the words that go by. Soul, I ask you to step aside and not interfere while I speak to the spirit.
Spirit, first of all, I want to validate you—that you are valuable and greatly loved. You are God’s precious child, and He cherishes you.
I bless you, spirit, from the Word of God in 1John 1:5 – “God is light’ in Him there is no darkness at all.” And with Ephesians 5:14 – “Wake up, O sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”

His heart for your identity, legitimacy, and birthright is being revealed in you. Receive from Him everything you need for living in covenant with him and others as a life-giver. The Holy Spirit is permeating into you His truth and instruction.
I bless you, spirit, to the fullness of everything God has for you. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Baby in the Womb Blessing:
Baby (name if you know it), I call your spirit to attention in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Listen as I read the Word of God to you. Philippians 2:13 – “For it is God who works in you to will and to act according to His good purpose.”
I bless you with knowing you are fearfully and wonderfully made. Our Creator God has formed you and created you in His image. Nothing can be created without Him—so Baby/(name), you are His perfect creation. God has knit you together in your mother’s womb and you bear His fingerprints. He rejoices in designing, molding, and shaping you. You are His creation, and He is proud to call you His precious child.
Baby spirit, you are treasured by your loving heavenly Father. God chose the moment your life would start. He brought your parents together and wove you together in your mother’s womb. He chose every one of your 23 pairs of chromosomes. He picked out every one of your genes. And He personally selected generational treasures for your spirit, soul and body. He knew every facet of your life and carefully chose all the treasures that you would need to succeed, because He knew what your calling was when He designed you. I bless you with experiencing the joy God felt when He created you. I say, in agreement with God, that you are beautiful, and you are beloved.
Baby spirit, I bless you with knowing that you are in a safe place. You can rest in the security that you are in the hands of God and are only required to fit into His plans and time schedule. Hear the Word of God in Psalm 91 – “He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.” You can say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” The Word also says in Psalm 91 – “He will cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you will find refuge; His faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.”
Spirit, I bless you with the security and strength of knowing that you dwell in the shelter of the Most High God. Thank you, Baby spirit. Amen.
