Prayer & Blessings

The Bible says that one of the roles of priests was to speak (not pray) blessings to the people. We can also take on that privilege because we have become a kingdom of priests to our God.

Simple Framework of Blessing from the Ffald-Y-Brenin House of Prayer

When we bless people, a community or a place we speak out blessing, health, prosperity and fruitfulness into their marriages, families and friendships, and the work of their hands. We also bless the local school and places of Christian worship that the Spirit and the Word may flow together to bring kingdom life. Finally, we bless the hearts of the people that they may be softened towards God and quickened to hear his voice. Below is an example blessing we might proclaim.

"In the name of Jesus I bless your life, your home and your family with all the blessings of the mighty God who planned you and created you. I bless you to know everything about Him and He wants you to know.

I bless you with the fullness of blessings that God longs to pour into your lives. I bless you that you may prosper in every part of life as God makes himself clear to you.

I bless your family and I bless the circumstances of your life that they may be wholesome, healthy and strong."
