Blessing Your Spirit
Here is something a little different in the counseling arena. Sometimes too
much goes into the soul or our mind, will, and emotions. Little is know
about the human spirit which is where the Holy Spirit dwells. Here are
four thoughts and then I want to challenge you to speak the words to your
spirit for 7 days, twice a day. 1. “Whoever has no rule over his own
spirit is like a city broken down, without walls” Proverbs 25:28. 2. A city
that is broken down and without walls lacks clear identity, clear
bouondaries, and the means to protect itself. 3. Someone who is controlled
by his soul will not have the proper identity, nor will he have solid
boundaries that will protect him. 4. God designed our spirit to be dominant
and the soul to be subordinate to the spirit,but when a culture feeds the
soul and ignores the spirit it develops a misrepresentation.
The following is taken from Plumbline ministries of Arthur Burk and his
book of blessing your spirit.
____________ (fill in your name) I call your spirit to attention in the
name of Jesus of Nazareth. Listen with your spirit to God’s word for you.
Psalm 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.
___________,your Father made you special. You are a very special person,
created and crafted and designed by God your Father. Before the foundation
of the world, your Father planned for you. You are no accident. You did
not have to exist but your Father willed you into existence. He chose the
day and the time you would start your life. He chose your parents and wove
you together in your mother’s womb. He planned your birth order and put you
in your family. He chose every one of your 23 pairs of chromosomes. He
chose every one of your more than 10,000 genes. He chose every part of your
spiritual heritage. He reached back into your father’s bloodline and your
mother’s bloodline, and from generations past,your heavenly
Father chose different parts of your heritage. Some parts are not so
beautiful, and some parts are absolutely gorgeous. Yet your Father wove it
all together and gave you everything you need in the package of your life to
be an overcomer, a victor, to take the negative parts of your heritage and
triumph over them, to walk in the beauty of all that God has placed within
you.
Your Father made you beautiful and beloved. I bless you_________,
because you are fearfully and wonderfully made. God invested an incredible
amount of effort and concentration in designing you. You are unique, one of
a kind. There is nobody else like you. God has thought extensively about
you. Every detail of your body, every organ, and every cell is the result
of God’s thoughts. Every facet of your personality is the result of His kind
intention. You are feautiful, and you are beloved. God has blessed you
with His love. God smiled on the day He created you. He had been waiting
for millennnia for the particular point in time when you were conceived. He
had great joy in His heart when His plans actually came together. He
nurtures your spirit; He watches over you.
Your world needs you. You bring something to your family that no other
person has. They need the gifts you bring. Your family would not be
complete without you. Others in your circle eed the depostit that God has
place in your life.
_____________, your Father wrote your days in His book. He has already
read the final chapters, although we have not that privilege. Your life is
not a random thing. He is looking forward to the chapters of the story He
has already written. He designed your spiritual heritage. Your
generational blessings go back a thousand genereations. There is a spiritual
treasure chest of generational blessings with your name on it. Those are
being released to you over the course of your life at the appointed time.
All this is God’s master plan. God has foreseen your pain. He promises
that because of His love, His power, and His blessing upon you, He causes
pain and negative things to be transformed into good things before the end
of the story of your life. We don’t know everything about who you are going
to be or what you are going to do, but you are loved, you are a blessing to
your family and you are a life-giver in the world. You are special, and we
celebrate God’s miraculous design of who you are. I bless you in the name
of Jesus of Nazareth.
