Opposite Spirit

Gang,

Romans 12 14I'm in a season of learning about blessing. I've taught about the power of blessing my book, Marching Around Jericho. But in this season the Lord is further instructing me to pray and bless this way:

Bless in the opposite spirit.

What this looks like is this. Whatever is coming at you. Ask this question, "Jesus, what is this?"

Listen to his response or sense what is going on or what kind of spirit is operating around you. If it's from the demonic realm, then release your voice and bless in the opposite.

For example: You are in conflict with your husband and in the middle of an argument. Begin to bless in the opposite. I bless my husband with peace. I bless my home with the Shalom of heaven. I bless our marriage, conversation and relationship with a spirit of unity and cooperation.

Okay, What do you think. How would you bless (pray) if you walked into the market and there was bickering going on with the employees and customers?

See you in the comments. Hugs, Lynn

    This is so ironic, or is it? My July blog is on Blessing also. I was faced recently with blessing someone in another area of my life where I was having some unsettled issues within me. I won’t give it away right now.
    I like what you say to bless in the opposite spirit. And I have often thought “what if I stopped and prayed right in the middle of a conflict with my husband” That would be a game switch for sure.

    Girl, that’s awesome about your next post. I’m finding that the Lord is leading a lot of His people in the Kingdom into this very prayer posture. Fantastic….
    I’m so happy to be traveling this new road with you. See you next week. BIG hugs. Lynn
