I am working my way through Matthew 10. As part of my Sunday message this week I am inviting my church to extend the conversation to my blog.

To start off, I want to focus on the power of blessing. Jesus told his disciples when they entered a place that received them to give it their blessing (or greeting). Without trying to sound “name it, claim it” I believe in the power of words to BUILD UP or TEAR DOWN.

What have you experienced in the way of “blessing”? What words were given to you that LIFTED UP and you knew it brought LIFE into you?
