Blessing Your Spirit

by Sylvia Gunter, Arthur Burk

Our human spirit is responsive. When it is ignored, it will atrophy. When it is nurtured it will grow. Truth is the nutrient that most powerfully transforms your spirit. Your spirit needs to know the truth about you and about God. Some of that truth is spoken by the Spirit of God to your spirit and some is input that you deliberately seek. This book is a series of blessings designed to leverage the growth of your spirit. It begins with a fathering theme. For 40 days, legitimacy and identity are explored from the Father's perspective. Then after we have seen ourselves from God's perspective, He invites us to see Him. There are 21 more days of blessings flowing from the names of God. Finally at the end of the book there is a list of verses that describe the range of activities and emotions of the human spirit. These are designed to help you develop a working theology of your own spirit. This tool can significantly improve your marriage and your relationship with your children. The most exciting transformation through is when you become much more at peace with yourself and when you discover facets of your own nature that you did not know were there.

[Ron]

Not only a good book for individual study and devotions, but also lends itself to use for praying for others. The topical arrange ment--not listed in the table of contents, unfortunately--gives a reference bible verses and prayers or blessings which logically follow.

[Shannon Rammler]

It changed me definitely and how I view and relate to my son. My heart is restored to loving him for who he is and who God is in my life and his. Could not have read this at a better time. Will keep it close to refer back to it often.

[Debra]

Excellent Excellent Excellent! Everyone should read and use this one. One definitive thing has been that every time I begin to bless my children then one of them calls me. I have used this book and the blessings in it to bless others many times and I can say the impact is profound. I love how it makes me feel when I have been blessed and I love how it makes others feel when I bless them. I wish every Christian would buy this book and use it!

[Katherine]

This is actually my third time through this book-- powerful prayers that you pray out loud for whomever your prayers are focused on, based in identity in Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit. Arthur Burke is quite an authority on spiritual giftings.

[Lindsay Kline]

This book of blessings is SO good. I did not have a clear understanding of how to bless people prior to getting this book. But now I have so many blessings in my vocabulary from reading this over myself and others every day.

[Joanne.Sojinu]

An excellent devotional, particularly during challenging times - a very encouraging, soothing and reenergising devotional that also feels very personal. It certainly directs my focus towards God in a powerful way.

[Cathie Orozco]

very healing to use the blessings in this book

[Pamela]

Useful daily guide of God's love for you personally, understanding the beauty of your identity, greater awareness of our blessings and how to pray Scripture over yourself.

[Maria]

Simply amazing!

[Jann Dhaliwal]

It is a powerful book. To strengthen my spirit man. As I learn to bless my spirit, it comes naturally to engage with the Holy Spirit.

[Patricia Butler]

Life-giving, refreshing myself and those I shared blessings with. Marvelous resource for encouraging others and strengthening myself. Wish there had been a table of contents. And wish for more.

[Jobe]

Effective and good guide

It helps in bringing such understanding of how God loves me. I am using it for blessing others and for myself.

[Donna Neeper]

This book will open new thoughts to you. And it will definitely impact the way you think about yourself and your Creator-God, your Heavenly Father.
Be open-minded and enjoy the deep-end of the pool that is the Christian journey by engaging the prayers of blessings in this book.
Highly recommended!

I received this book from a new friend last week and have already been amazingly blessed by it. God is my Healer. He is doing great things in me! (May 2009)

I cannot say enough about how special this book has been to me. David said in the Psalms, "bless the LORD, O my soul" which means he took the Word of God that came to him and reminded himself how good God was. This book follows that precept and guides you through prayers of blessing your own spirit (that part of us that was made to communicate with God) and blessing others through the scriptures. Trust me, it WILL bless your heart!

[Lara Lleverino]

This book has some strange theology...strange enough that it made me start doing some background checking on the authors and they were even stranger! I would strongly caution anyone using this book that I don't think the authors' theology is very biblical! To be honest I read the introduction, researched to authors and skimmed through the various "blessings". Not worth spending the time to read each word...THROW IT OUT!

[Lauren]

very helpful prayer guide for all ages.

[Susan]

This book is great for blessing others as you pray for them and is a blessing to you when using it in your daily quiet time with the Lord.

[Becky]

Probably could read this over and over until the end of my life or when Jesus comes back.

[Deborah Chapman]

brilliant book that really makes a difference to your day to day life of following Jesus.

[Robin Lewis]

Amazing book of prayers that bless and strengthen the human spirit. Full of scripture and beautiful for praying for individuals or families.

[Lisa Blair]

This is great for reading aloud in family devotionals!

[Richard Dunne]

Excellent book

This book teaches you how to connect and speak to your spirit. It teaches you how to communicate and repair damage to your spirit.

[Stephanie Patterson]

Prayers to pray over yourself, your spouse, your child. Great, great stuff!

[Daunavan Buyer]

Not the type of book you read from back to front in one sitting but a great book nonetheless. I really enjoy the idea of the book, that we are Spiritual beings and often neglect that part of us.

[Jennifer Stickel]

This is an excellent book of prayers you can pray for yourself and others, grounded in biblical references.

[Karen]

Was not previously familiar with these authors but was thrilled with the richness and depth of these blessings which I adapted into prayers for myself, my husband, and our children. Expecting powerful, dynamic outcomes!
