Happy New Year Michelle Sebastian, aka; Baby Kitty, Meow xo
May The Lord Bless You
May the Lord bless you and keep you.
May the Lord make his face to shine upon you,
and be gracious to you.
May the Lord lift up his countenance upon you,
and give you peace.
I Pray For The Return of My Friend, Michelle...
I pray that God will restore the friendship with my friend Gayle Michelle Sebastian who changed suddenly without reason in Sept 2013.
I am hurting and wondering what happened for she doesn't want to talk to me anymore...
I know that God can speak to you Michelle to restore what friendship we had before. True friends are hard to find and I miss you. Rumors, gossip, mis-understanding, an attempt at circumvention of what business we had may be the reason for its not what it appears. I ask Jesus Christ, to intercede for me to our God to bring our friendship back like before to help her understand that I care for her very much and want her back as my true friend.
In Jesus Name I
pray, Amen.
The biblical scholar Matthew Henry (amongst others) notes that the verse of scripture this prayer is based on (Numbers 6:24-26) foreshadows the Trinity revealed in the New Testament. The Lord is mentioned three times, and on each occassion, with a different type of blessing. The first concerns the Lords protection, associated with God the Father. The next blessing concerns God's face (in Christ) being gracious (forgiving sin on the cross at Calvary). The final line is a peace blessing. Here this may be compared with the Holy Spirit in the New Testament, which descended on Jesus like a dove. (Matthew 3:15-17). God's peace ("Shalom") is not essentially about "quiet" or the absence of noise, but about the gift of wholeness, health and well-being.
An Ancient Celtic Blessing
“May the Road Rise Up To Meet You” is a beautiful old Celtic blessing. Blessings are a gift and ancient ones like these help us to become open channels for the fragrance of Christ to surround those we give out to. I love the references to creation – the sun, the wind, the rain – that these elements are in God’s hands:-
“May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
The rains fall soft upon your fields
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.”
A blessing is not a whimsical “I wish, I hope for” etc. It is more powerful than this because the faith of the one who blesses connects with God the Father, Jesus the Saviour and the Holy Spirit the comforter. Just as negative words can damage and corrupt us, there is power in a blessing to change lives. Words spoken in faith have an ability to change the emotional climate, to prepare the ground ahead, and to watch over our rest and our dreams. We hope that this song and film can become a gift that you can give to someone who needs a blessing from God. And we trust that if you are in a hard place yourself that you can receive this as a gift from us. As you watch this film we pray that you might deeply know that you are in the most secure place on earth – in the palm of your Father God, and that your heart may be able to rest in this life changing knowledge.
When we truly grasp the power of blessings we can indulge in blessing others wherever we go. We can speak out love, hope and faith over those who are enchained and see the transformational equation of Christ’s legacy in action. There is indeed power in the name of Jesus. Thanks be to God.
