From the author of the bestselling Anam Cara comes a beautiful collection of blessings to help readers through both the everyday and the extraordinary events of their lives. John O’Donohue, Irish teacher and poet, has been widely praised for his gift of drawing on Celtic spiritual traditions to create words of inspiration and wisdom for today. In To Bless the Space Between Us, his compelling blend of elegant, poetic language and spiritual insight offers readers comfort and encouragement on their journeys through life. O’Donohue looks at life’s thresholds—getting married, having children, starting a new job—and offers invaluable guidelines for making the transition from a known, familiar world into a new, unmapped territory. Most profoundly, however, O’Donohue explains “blessing” as a way of life, as a lens through which the whole world is transformed. O’Donohue awakens readers to timeless truths and shows the power they have to answer contemporary dilemmas and ease us through periods of change.

Many still ask God to do what he has already done! The reason is simple: they don't understand how the kingdom works. God is not going to do what he has already done for you! You have to learn to receive it! The bible says: "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath BLESSED US WITH ALL SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS in heavenly places in Christ" - (Ephesians 1:3). God has already blessed you with every good thing that exists in Christ. Health, prosperity, victory, success, joy, peace, and every blessing you can imagine are already yours. You have already been blessed in all things, and with all things. What you need is to learn and know how to get the blessing working in your life. But we often pray as though God is unwilling to bless us or as though he has not blessed us. Many are used to shouting and yelling the following prayers at God: "I will not let you go unless you bless me" They yell at God as though he was unwilling to bless, while in the actual sense of it he has already given you all these things. So why do many folks pray as though they are not already blessed? So why do many Christians pray as one needing to be blessed? The reason is because many folks don't know what the scripture means when it says God has blessed us WITH ALL SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS in heavenly places in Christ. You should live and function as one who is already blessed! If you can just calm down and grasp this fact, Christianity will begin to have a greater meaning to you! I have discovered that receiving is quite simple! Receiving involves speaking the blessings over your life regularly with a certain mindset that you are not asking God to do what He is not willing to do or has not done already for you, but that all things are already yours and available to you! It is shift from praying beggarly prayers to taking what's yours in Christ by Spiritual Birth. Sadly many don't know how to do this. Speaking the Blessings is to engage the blessings, activate them and release them to be made manifest in your life. Speaking the blessings is also a powerful form of spiritual warfare and devils don't like it neither can they fight or withstand it. It is a combination of both spiritual warfare to clear the way for the blessing to be manifested and a "blessing highway" that delivers the blessing to you. Speaking the Blessings over one's life was how God intended for all His children to live and pray. It is quite simple but very powerful and a deliverer of the required blessings. HOW TO SPEAK THE BLESSINGS OVER YOUR LIFE AND GET RESULTS, was therefore written to provide you powerful insights with sample prayers on how to effectively speak the blessings over your life on a daily basis and INDEED GET RESULTS!

This book explores how verbal blessings can change and restore difficult relationships, highlighting the great power of the living God to work in our daily lives. The spoken blessing is a powerful spiritual weapon with enduring impact. By giving spoken blessings, we can see healing brought to aching souls and restoration brought to bruised relationships. Such wonders are accomplished by the power of God’s Spirit through the agency of spoken blessings, just as Scripture affirms: "Death and life are in the power of the tongue." Our words have the power to crush or to heal, to break bones or to plant a tree of life where none has grown before. And these dynamics of the spoken blessing may be truer today than ever. Mr. Gothard’s timely message brings this awareness to us in a helpful and encouraging way. “Death and life are in the power of the tongue.” Proverbs 18:21 What if spoken blessings could grant freedom from years of bitter hurts? What if they could break down the walls that divide husband from wife, parent from child, and friend from friend? Our words have lasting impact not only for harm, but also for great good. By speaking blessings, we can help bring healing to aching souls and restoration to bruised relationships. Let Bill Gothard share with you the secret of spoken blessings, and embark on a rich family tradition that brings harmony and closeness beyond anything you’ve previously experienced. Story Behind the Book While dealing with layer after layer of hurts, fears, and barriers that teenagers experience with their parents and God, I often heard cruel statements by a parent during a time of anger. Statements like “I wish you were never born” or “You’ll never amount to anything” were like deadly poison affecting everything in that teenager’s life. Such is the power of a verbal curse. However, more powerful have been the verbal blessings of a parent to a son or daughter. They have been like sources of refreshment and energy that have guided the goals and decisions of those who received them. With such lasting results from the life-and-death power of the tongue, it was essential to me that this book be written.
