As I was driving to work the other morning I was praying in the
Holy Ghost. In the
midst of my prayer I begin to say, “Lord, I bless your name” repeating it a
couple of times, “Lord, I bless your name”, “Lord, I bless your name,” I heard
the Lord say in return, “And I bless your name”. At which time I became overwhelm with
emotions, as I thought, ok God, would you really say that to me, “And I bless your
name”? Now, if I have learned anything:
I have learned by the Holy Ghost to find confirmation in the word of God. So later on in the day as I sat at my desk
those words came back to my spirit, “And
I bless your name”.
Being reminded of Proverbs 22:1, which reads, “A good name is rather
to be chosen than great riches, and loving favor rather than silver
and gold”. The thought occurred, when God blesses your name its His favor and He causes your name to be chosen (remembered); because of the good things that's attached to it. God then places you
on the hearts of people that you know and those you don’t know. He brings your name to remembrance (as He did Joseph); because of
the good works that precedes your name. He blesses your name. The word also says
in Psalms 84:11 “...no good thing will He withhold from those that walk up rightly”. As we walk up right before God, we allow our
light to shine before men that they may see our good works and glorify our
Father in heaven.
By the Spirit I
hear the Lord saying, “And I bless your name” for two reasons (1) because of
the cries that have come up to me and (2) And for such a time as this. Many will begin to experience uncommon
favor. You’ll get phone calls, letters,
texts, emails, etc. from people you haven’t heard from for a long time, some
you’ve forgotten, many that have forgotten you. They’ll inquire of you. But it’s important to remember that it’s all
for the Glory of God.
Always walk in holy reverence of His Name and He’ll bless your name!
Always walk in holy reverence of His Name and He’ll bless your name!
