I know you have a contribution to make, with that wonderful mind of yours. You can grow.

You can learn you see all of that is blessing statement. I believe that you can excel in your academics. That's faster.

Alan life in a whole, I'm excited to be with Pastor Alan and departing from our normal teaching pulpit ministry to just talk about the power of blessing Pastor Alan were so excited about a brand-new book that you have felt this is an important time in the life of our country.

It's an important time in the life of this ministry, but even just as believers combating the darkness combating where the world is showing up with purses. We counter that with all the world is just full of curses and all around us we hear and listen to. You don't have to go far. You just pull in front of someone in traffic you'll find out what spirit of the Angels wasn't really a sign a negative forecast to your life right so really curses a sense of saying you your identity is flawed. Your future is flawed bad things going to happen and probably get worse. What is blessing. Blessing is God's way of empowering us by a positive identity rooted in his promises that release us into our destiny.

Daniel II just I want you know I'm excited about it and so I don't overstate things, but I think this is not just the most important book I've ever written. The power to bless how to speak life and empower the people you love. From Baker books. I don't things just the most important book I've written. I think is just one of the most important books that God is going to use because there's not that much written about blessing right we know about prayer a lot written about prayer. We talk to God.

There's a lot of Bible teaching which of course we do every weekday. But blessing is where you speak to another person and you proclaim a positive vision over there alive and when you do something of mystical power takes place. The whole book power. Bless is rooted in an ancient blessing from Israel.

But it takes a blessing and shows how all blessing contains these gifts within it that it is a proclamation of acceptance. Therefore security that it's a proclamation of the past is over so you're moving for the future. It's a proclamation it's an affirmation of fruitfulness in an ultimately favorable in one's life so so excited about the book and talk about the power blessing and and and maybe give me a chance to speak some blessing to our listeners. If you're not able to stay with us throughout the entire program I want to make sure you know how to get our special resource. Right now it's an audio album of Pastor Alan's teaching series, the body you've always wanted.

It's available to you in physical CD album or a digital download. Your choice and it can be yours for your donation this month to Alan Wright Ministries as you listen to today's message go deeper as we send you today's special offer. Contact us at pastoralan.org that's Pastor Alan.O RG or call 877-544-4860 that's 877-544-4860 sitting today with Pastor Alan in the studio and noticed we are unpacking principles from this new book pastor out in the power to bless working with this ministry for as long as I have one thing that I know Pastor Alan you're careful to do during your normal teaching and proclamation of the gospel is one putting God in the box and creating a formula of the Laporte but when you talk about creating a blessing. I like how you put the cookies on the bottom shelf and you say you know the blessing itself.

There is a strategic way to speak a blessing and so it's it's quite different and you make no bones about saying that there is a template there is a step-by-step array of learning to speak or write or communicate a blessing. There is so if you think Daniel of someone that you love and I like to invite listeners just think of someone you love right now and you would like to see their their life flourish and grow and change maybe is someone's going through difficult time. Maybe there's something that you really like to see you be able to change it needs change in their character. There is a terrible sinful tendency to want to simply point out the negative, so a parent gets frustrated with the child who is not studying and the temptation for the parent is to either just flat out speak curse. Well, you're just never going to amount to anything because you're not you too lazy or to just come across more holistically like that unless you start studying more.

You're just not going to, you know what blessing does is altogether different is God's way. Blessing says to a student does not studying God's given you an excellent brain you have an important destiny. God wants to use you to make a difference in the world. I believe that you can excel in your academics. I know you have a contribution to make, with that wonderful mind of yours.

You can grow.

You can learn you see all of that is blessing statement and I know listeners even as you hear those words coming out my mouth. You go oh yeah what is that do it can next to something spiritually and I think some of this is mystical but some I was just flat. This is the way God designed us we rise up, to live out of an identity and that identity is getting spoken to us so when we bless someone for a new year and new you.

What were saying is that you can have new spiritualize. You can live in the grace of God blessing in many ways, Daniel is to say when you really want good for someone. I think any parent anybody any Nice value by this app had a great friend.

You just love somebody and you want the very best for them almost have this feeling like I wish I could just take it and just deposit this good intention in the blessing is the thing that God's given us to do that is an actual expression of your good will toward someone else and God uses it so the power to bless walks people right through it step-by-step. The power blessing can help us focus on the new rather than the old to get a blessing about newness right that one rooted in the prophecy of Isaiah yesterday with its joys and sorrows is over tomorrow with its hopes and challenges is yet to exist. But today, right here, right now God's grace blooms before your very eyes. This is what the Lord says through Isaiah, forget the former things do not dwell on the past. See, I'm doing a new thing now it springs up led by the Spirit you can become mindful of every blessing and savor the textures and flavors of God's grace.

Each moment in the moment today and always, to what drew you to this Isaiah text when you were crafting this particular blessing well similar to the blessing. We started the day with. I'm drawn to this beautiful prophetic image because of the invitation to forget the former things and to focus on what's happening right now in modern psychology. This is called mindfulness, but mindfulness is not the product of modern psychology and certainly not the product of Zen Buddhism.

This is God's deal right from the beginning God was the one who invited us to learn to live in the moment, live in the day. And Jesus is the one who said don't be anxious for tomorrow. Tomorrow you will have plenty of anxiety for itself, but consider today the lilies of the field look at the birds are there in other words, the idea of living one day at a time is God's big idea.

So what it means to to be to be mindful is to savor what's happening now it means to be fully engaged in that moment and I think that's one of the blessings I just want to give to the listeners is that you learn to savor, moment by moment.

One of the things that happen to us in pandemic. We had so much of the postponing of life right and were still in it where it's like we just keep thinking well I'll just I just put my life on hold to this over and you do that with is nothing to savor in the middle of of of such hardship.

Well, not not true. Every moment, every, every, every little act of grace every sunrise every every snowflake, every, every day there's something of God's grace there on their conversations, their moments of insight and revelation.

There are so many things to savor and I just and blessing are listeners of the can be led by the Holy Spirit and really become mindful of each of those blessing.

I think that's what it means to be alive with newness is his mercies are new every morning so I'm going to be expectant that I'm to see something new today. It's time to quit talking so much about the past is time to quit focusing all the wounds from yesterday and to focus in on savoring the actual blessings of God and so you can become a connoisseur of God's grace. You can you can become an expert in sensing his goodness. You can you can become like someone who is an a master interpreter of art to looks at a masterpiece in a different way. I think that's what were invited to be as children of grace just become aware of his grace everywhere savor it become mindful of it in the moment. Every moment all the time.

Feel the textures and flavors of God's grace. That's what it means to savor Alan Wright will have more teaching in a moment from today's important series is a misty place when you float around on crowds and angelic types you are in for the surprise of your life.

It's free when you sign up Pastor at.org and impasse relative why is it so important to speak blessing every single day. The world around us. Daniel is full of all kind occur statements.

It tells what we can't be full all, moralistic things tells what we ought to be. But what we really need is a statement spoken over allies about who we can be and who we really are.

You think about the difference between someone saying hey Christian, you ought to be more full of faith are. You ought to be more brave versus a blessing that comes from God's word says he is the author and finisher of your faith, and as you look to him. Your life is going to be filled with faith and you have been made into more than a conqueror through him you see the difference day one is an exhortation what you ought to be and it just leaves you empty, but the other is a blessing statement of positive vision spoken in faith, in accord with God's word of your life and I'm I just have a deep passion for this thing I want everyone to be able to receive blessing is not something you like it once in your life it's something you need every day and so it's such an honor and a privilege to send this to tens of thousands of people and I wrote all of our listeners to be sure it is absolutely free it comes to you can start your day with it or fill your head at night, and let the power of blessing be the fuel for your joy in productivity and peace.

You can get it Pastor and.org connect all those places Pastor at.org to receive your daily blessing in the studio today with Pastor out as we head into the weekend with blessing with blessing for you the power to bless one of the, if not the most important book and I gotta say is I've talked to a lot of creative people in my life, musicians, artists, authors, you know, most most of them will always say that their latest project. Their latest creation is the best in and most important, to be honest, this one really is because it is so vastly different than anything else you your your work has put out well I'll tell you the power to bless the book itself is it's it's a big idea book for big idea of the Bible is about blessing me if you think about in the beginning God blessed Adam and Eve and then said be fruitful and multiply.

He came to a man named Abram and he said I'm blessing you so that you will be a blessing. Hebrew patriarchs learn to bless their children they bless their grandsons they bless their granddaughters blessing was what caused the the prosperity of the people about the favor of God to move forward until we come to Jesus and when he is starting his ministry. He's baptized the father blessed him said this is my son, whom I'm well pleased.

Jesus called the little children and bless them. People want it just wanted Jesus to bless their children and were told by Jesus and by Paul, which was to bless even our enemies, and the last thing that Jesus did waters on earth. He lifted his hands before he ascended to heaven he bless his disciples, so Daniel this is the story of the Bible and it is not talked about that much talked about what blessing really is and how powerful it is. And here's the important thing is why this book so important.

It not only tells a beautiful story of blessing in the Bible how I came to understand it and essentials of blessing that would just nourish and I think Daniel I just things going bless the socks off the readers to hear stories of how God's blessing has been at work, but then it becomes very practical and teaches anyone. You don't have to be a poet you want to be a Bible scholar, any parent, any teacher any friend in a coworker. Anyone can learn to bless and the book teaches you how to best realm.

We have time today for a will more blessing. This will from Psalm 46 powerful words of encouragement right here. Let's speak this blessing to the listeners though the nations rage and kingdoms totter. God is your refuge and strength, he's your help amidst the troubles, even if the earth should give way and the mountains fall into the sea, you need not fear. There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, and you are welcomed to its banks to drink to be immersed to splash about. For joy, the Lord of hosts is with you in the morning at noon time in the evening watches over you as you sleep. So I bless you today to be still and know that he's God, no matter the turmoil and politics.

The Lord is your God, no matter the troubles of pandemic.

The Lord is your God amidst the brazen voices of fear.

I envision your heart being filled today with call amidst the clamor. May you have moments of profound inward quiet today in Christ you been given peace that world doesn't have misty place when you float around on clouds and pluck angelic types you are in for the surprise of your life.

Why is it so important to start our day with blessing and a lot of people.

Daniel think that the way that it works is that I go out and approve myself. So then people will accept me and then the bless me and I swear love the world doesn't even parents to withhold her blessing.

Dangle it like a carrot you like this as well get my child to try harder employers to teachers to coaches to mess up. But God doesn't what God does is eat you come to someone like Gideon who is afraid shaking in his sandals literally in the winepress, for fear of the Midianites and God comes over and says hail mighty man of valor. What he had proven to be a man of valor yet, but that's how God saw Jesus might go to Simon who was shifty and unreliable and say I'm calling you Peter your rock. See, that's a blessing. And when you bless you receive blessing.

What happens is you adopt a new identity and that identity then becomes the means by which you determine how you live, how you think and how you going to feel so if you feel in the sense that you are on the winning team. You're much more likely to win. If you feel like you're on the losing team. You're much more likely to give up. So God's word, accompanied by statements of faith that people speak of your life will empower you for the day. That's why every day we we issue forth a blessing and you can get it and is devotional form written or video. We also have a blessing podcast.
