The Miracle of The Blessing (2 of 7)
Summer of Miracles
Stan Coffey
How many of you today would like to be blessed of God? How many of you would like to have joy unspeakable and full of glory? How many of you would like to have victory over the world, the flesh and the devil?
Well, the secret is locked up in the supernatural power of the blessing. This is a truth that has been largely lost to the church for nearly two thousand years and yet, you and I need that blessing that we're going to read about in this passage of scripture.
There was a little boy in a Catholic school who went up to the nun one day and said, "I want a new bicycle." She said, "Well, if you want a new bicycle, when you say your prayers tonight, tell God that you will be a good boy for six weeks and He will give you a new bicycle.
So, that night, he began to pray and he said, "Oh God, I will be good for six weeks if you'll give me a new bicycle." Then he thought, "No, I can't be good for six weeks. Oh, God if you will give me a new bicycle, I will be good for four weeks." And he thought, "No, I can't be good for four weeks either."
He looked over on the dresser and saw a picture of the Virgin Mary. He wrapped it up in a pillow case and put it under the bed and he said, "Oh God, if you ever want to see your mother again..."
Well, some people pray differently than other people pray.
Numbers 6:22 -- "The Lord said to Moses, (23) Tell Aaron and his sons, This is how you are to bless the Israelites. Say to them: (24) The Lord bless you and keep you; (25) The Lord make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you; (26) the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace. (27) So they will put my name on the Israelites, and I will bless them."
I want us to notice first of all in this message today:
