Bless Me

My Beloved, today I call you to kneel before Me in adoration and awe. Fix your eyes on Me and bless My holy name. For I am the Holy One of Israel, and I desire this blessing from you. By bowing down and kneeling before Me, you express your reverence for who I am as well as My royalty, majesty, and holiness.  And by fixing your eyes on Me, you position your heart and intentionally turn your focus to Me as your King and Lord, and away from all other things and people. Blessing My name is the expression of your innermost being and demonstrates your desire to lift Me up in worship, adoration, and awe.

Activation: Quiet your soul before the Lord. Breathe deeply. Then, slowly pray the following verses from Psalm 103:1-2 and verses 20-22 (NIV). Pray it first exactly as it is written below.

Verses 1-2: “Praise the LORD, my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name. Praise the LORD, my soul, and forget not all his benefits.” Verses 20-22: “Praise the LORD, you his angels, you mighty ones who do his bidding, who obey his word. Praise the LORD, all his heavenly hosts, you his servants who do his will. Praise the LORD, all his works everywhere in his dominion.”

The second time, replace the word “Praise” with “Bless”. Read it a third time, now replacing “Praise” with the phrase “Kneel before”. Read it a fourth time, replacing “Praise” with “Fix your eyes on”. Each time that you read it, choose a different posture or position to take. Let the Spirit of the Lord lead you in the postures to take as you pray. Take note of what happens in you and around you and how you feel each time you pray these verses with a different expression and position.

Psalm 95:6-7 (ESV)

Oh come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before the LORD, our Maker! For he is our God, and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand.

Psalm 113:2-4 (AMP)

Blessed be the name of the LORD From this time forth and forever. From the rising of the sun to its setting The name of the LORD is to be praised [with awe-inspired reverence]. The LORD is high above all nations, And His glory above the heavens.

Psalm 134:1-2 (ESV)

Come, bless the LORD, all you servants of the LORD, who stand by night in the house of the LORD! Lift up your hands to the holy place and bless the LORD!
