I Bless Your Name!

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!
