Once again, I welcome you to the Quality Christian
Living Podcast. I am your host, David Friend.
Today's topic is how the Holy Spirit blesses
us. List the number of ways that the Holy Spirit
will bless Christians, and how can we know when
the Holy Spirit is the one doing the blessings
in our life? We'll also address why we must always
give the Holy Spirit the credit for any good
thing that takes place in our life, and that
we must be in unity with the Holy Spirit in order
to receive his blessings. But before we get into
that, let's pray. Heavenly Father, I give you
praise for who you are. I thank you, Lord, for
bringing us together today, and for those who
are listening in, I pray the Holy Spirit would
bless them. and I now surrender everything to
you Lord. I ask the Holy Spirit to come in and
take control, guide the scriptures we read and
the interpretation of those verses, how it applies
to this particular podcast. I pray that you receive
the glory and praise for what's about to take
place. I thank you once again for who you are
God and I thank you for the blessed gift of the
Holy Spirit who gives us guidance and direction
in everything that we do as long as we seek him.
Bless this we pray now in Jesus name. Amen. Well
I'm going to have a number of scriptures in today's
podcast because I really was putting a podcast
together and every time I had a thought a scripture
would jump up in my mind and so I thought well
let's just use as many as the Holy Spirit gives
us and as time allows and let's just see where
we go from here. So following is a list of Holy
Spirit blessings. He comforts us. We see that
in the book of John chapter 15 and verse 26.
Just a powerful words of the Lord Jesus Christ.
We will send you the Advocate, Jesus said. The
Spirit of Truth. He will come to you from the
Father and will testify all about me. You see,
Jesus wanted them to understand where truth comes
from, and the Spirit of God is the truth that
we need in our life, and He is the one who comforts
us. He's there inside, living and dwelling inside
of every single born -again believer. Anyone
who's given their life to Christ, if you've given
your life to Jesus as for forgiveness of your
sins, Jesus Christ then has sent to us the Holy
Spirit into each and every one of us so that
we'll have that power ready and available to
us, but we must seek that. We must ask him for
help, ask for guidance and direction, and he
will give us comfort in the midst of some of
the most difficult things that I've seen in my
life. With cancer diagnosis that was going to
take my life, the Holy Spirit gave me comfort.
Financial issues when we had our business and
the economy really dropped terribly and our business
was in trouble, the Holy Spirit comforted my
wife and I. We were at peace in the middle of
some very difficult times. In the church when
we were building and we faced some financial
challenges, the Holy Spirit once again came and
gave comfort. He'll do the same for every one
of us if we just simply trust in Him, lean upon
Him, ask for His guidance, His direction. And
Jesus said that He will send, He says, you the
Advocate. That means someone that's on our side,
the Spirit of Truth. And He will come to you
from the Father and will testify about me. So
how can it get any better? than that. So that's
the first scripture, I think, that helps us to
understand how the Holy Spirit blesses believers.
He gives us help when we make decisions. When
we're trying to make a decision, He's the one
that gives us help. We seek Him when we buy something.
We seek Him when we're thinking about buying
a car or a house. We seek Him when we're thinking
if we're single and we're dating someone, or
if we're dating someone and we're getting serious
about them, we seek Him about marriage. We seek
Him in every area of our life. If we're having
trouble with our health, we seek Him. If we're
having a problem, With the food that we eat,
we seek him. If we have a problem with drinking
or anything that is in or is hurting our body,
we seek him and he will help us and he's always
there to help us in making the right decisions
about what we should do, what we should say,
who we should say it to, how we should say it,
and the source, maybe a scripture would come
to mind because the Holy Spirit reminds us of
scriptures. We'll talk about that, I believe,
later in the podcast today. So our decisions
that we make for every part of our life, the
Holy Spirit wants to help us. us and guide us.
Three, he tells us what is true and what is false.
In John chapter 16 and verse 13, Jesus is talking
to his disciples because he's leaving them to
go to heaven. He's comforting them with telling
about the Holy Spirit, but he gets into this
one particular area, it's kind of a call to a
time where sadness, he's telling that sadness
will return to joy, the sadness of him leaving
that when the Holy Spirit comes that they'll
receive joy. But in John chapter 16 and verses
13, Jesus is telling his disciples, he's telling
them how to find truth. So verse 13 says this,
when the spirit of truth comes, he will guide
you into all truth. He will not speak on his
own, but will tell you what he has heard. He
will tell you about the future. Verse 14, he
will bring me glory by telling you whatever he
receives from me. In verse 15, all that belongs
to the father is mine. This is why I said, the
spirit will tell you. whatever he receives from
me. So we're hearing direct revelation of truth
from the Holy Spirit. That's why we must seek
him, must ask him for help, seek his guidance,
pray and read the Holy Spirit inspired Word of
God. That's where we'll find truth. Matter of
fact, I've always been taught over the years
as being a Christian and listening to some great
teachers, if anyone is really looking for truth,
eventually they have to find Jesus because Jesus
is the only truth that's out there. And so we
have that. That truth is living inside of us.
So that's how we can be directed to understand
the difference. between what's true and what's
false in life. One of the greatest blessings
that the Holy Spirit can give us is that he draws
us to become Christians. That's got to be the
greatest gift that he gives us, is that he then
comes upon us and speaks to our inner spirit
and our own spirit and our body, soul and spirit
to draw us into a relationship with Jesus Christ.
That's why I believe so strongly in praying for
people who are unsaved that the Holy Spirit would
speak to them and would reveal to them the truth,
would reveal to them that they need Jesus. They
need to submit their lives and their cares and
their concerns of life and submit them to the
Lord Jesus Christ. So that's the greatest gift
that we can receive from him. Another gift or
blessing that he has is that he reminds us of
scriptures when we need them. There's a wonderful
scripture found in John chapter 14 and verse
26 that describes that. These are the words of
Jesus again found in the New Living Translation.
But when the Father sends the Advocate, that's
the Holy Spirit, as my representative, that is
the Holy Spirit, He will teach you everything
and will remind you of everything I have told
you. You know, it's so important that we understand
that the Holy Spirit is working inside of us
to help us, not to beat us up, not to make us
feel pressure and anxiety, but just the opposite,
to bring peace and joy and love and patience
and all the things that He offers to us through
the fruit of the Spirit, love, joy, peace, patience,
goodness, kindness, gentleness, and self -control.
Those are things that the Holy Spirit brings
us and we've got to understand that he is our
source of all the peace and all the joy and all
the blessings that are made available by God
the Father. And since I mentioned peace, why
don't we just look for it in the Word of God
and see where it talks about how the Holy Spirit
brings these things to us. It's found in Galatians
chapter 5 verses 22 through 23. They're called
the fruit of the Spirit. Paul's writing here
and he says, but the Holy Spirit produces This
kind of fruit in our lives, love, joy, peace,
patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness,
and self -control. There is no law against these
things. So see, that's just a bunch of blessings,
right? That's just a bulk of blessings that God
wants to place upon us and they all come from
the Holy Spirit. So therefore, if you're looking
for, well, how can he bless you? Then just pull
these scriptures out and start reading them and
start believing them and allow them to permeate
your life and just fill your heart and your body,
soul and spirit with the love of Christ and the
power of the Holy Spirit. Under the direction
of God the Father, the Holy Spirit brings us
blessings. Listen to Paul speaking in the book
of Ephesians in chapter 1 and verse 3. Listen
to this very carefully and see where the Holy
Spirit is speaking to you in an area that you
might need help with in your life. All praise
to God. First of all, if we want to be blessed
by the Holy Spirit, we're going to have to give
all praise to God. It says the Father of our
Lord Jesus Christ who has blessed us with every
spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms because
we are united with Christ. Look at that. Every
blessing. Listen to that. I'm kind of getting
excited. You can probably tell that. But listen
to this scripture once again. We're talking about
how the Holy Spirit blesses us and here God gives
this direction to Paul who is being anointed
by the Holy Spirit to write these words down.
He said, all praise to God. That's when we're
struggling with something, start off by praying.
See, it's the praises that we give to God that
take away the fear and the anxiety and all the
stuff, the worry, the things that come into our
life. So all praise to God, the Father of our
Lord Jesus Christ who has blessed us. Listen
to that. Has blessed us, not will or someday
might, but has blessed us with every spiritual
blessing in the heavenly realms because we are
united with Christ. So all of that blessing is
available to us if we look at the Bible. learn
to live and walk in the Spirit because there's
two ways that we walk here on earth. One is in
the Spirit and one's in the flesh. And I know
most of us go in and out of it. We're for a while
maybe just doing our own things. It may not be
bad things, but we've got our own mind set on
what we're going to do, the direction we're going
to go, the decision we're going to make. So we
do all those things. And then we wake up, fortunately,
spiritually and realize that we need to stop
thinking that way and we need to walk in the
Spirit. When we walk in the Spirit, then that
opens up the promises that I just read in Ephesians
chapter 1 and verse 3. Every spiritual blessing
in the heavenly realms because we are united
with Christ and we're united with Christ and
then he in turn Christ sends the Holy Spirit
to earth to fill us, to dwell in us, to give
us the opportunity to receive all the blessings
of the heavenlies. You know, that's such a powerful
scripture. That ought to be a podcast someday.
Well, I'll have to think about that one. Alright,
he is always ready to help us. That's something
that a lot of people struggle with understanding.
Let's talk about that for a second. There's a
couple of Psalms, I think, that really deal with
this. It's Psalm 46 .1 that I like so much. God
is our refuge and strength. Always, listen to
that, always ready, which means He's there, ready
to help us. Always ready to help in times of
trouble. You see, we have access to that always
ready and help of God the Father because of the
indwelling of the Holy Spirit inside of us. So
the Holy Spirit then helps us connect with that
strength, with that hope. Here's another Psalm
I think that's really wonderful dealing with.
always ready to help us. It's found in Psalm
chapter 1 and verse 1. Listen to this, Oh the
joys of those who do not follow the advice of
the wicked or stand around the sinners or join
in with mockers for they delight in the law of
the Lord meditating on it day and night. You
see, we've got to meditate on God's Word because
God's Word was inspired by the Holy Spirit. The
Holy Spirit lives and dwells in us. The Holy
Spirit inside of us is so deeply wanting us to
devour the Word of God, to read the Word of God,
to study the Word of God, to take it into our
heart and mind, to every time we read a scripture,
allow it to speak to us because it's personal.
The scriptures are very personal. You say, well,
how can it be personal when it was written thousands
of years ago? No, the point of it is that God
is the same yesterday, today, and forever. So
when he said in Psalms, oh, the joys of those
who do not follow the advice of the wicked, that
advice goes for followers of the Lord Jesus Christ
all the way through their life and into eternity.
So therefore, we can receive peace through the
Holy Spirit and have a relationship with God
the Father and through His Word receive the help
and strength that we need. The Holy Spirit loves
us so much and He blesses us so much. that listen
to this, He convicts us of sin. Now that bothers
some of you, but in reality, I am so thankful
when I get convicted of something that I did
wrong or made a mistake or made an error, I know
it's the Holy Spirit that's helping me. I welcome
conviction from the Holy Spirit. Matter of fact,
I welcome God to correct me because not you,
I don't want to hear from you and be corrected.
I don't want to be corrected by my spouse. I
want God though to correct me because when He
corrects me, it's for my good. And so it all
benefit. One translation says, it's for my good
and then I'll profit from it. And so the bottom
line of it is is that I love the conviction of
the Holy Spirit in my life and it's just such
a wonderful thing. Jesus talked about it in John
chapter 16 and verse 8. Listen to this, he's
talking to the disciples, he's saying basically,
if I don't go then the Holy Spirit won't come
so therefore it's better for you if I go. And
in verse 8 of chapter 16 in John, Jesus says
these words, and when he comes, he's talking
about the Holy Spirit, he will convict the world
of its sin and of God's righteousness and of
the coming judgment. Now you see, that's a blessing.
It's a blessing to be convicted that we have
sin in our life. Now don't take this wrong. Matter
of fact, I receive that because I believe that.
I know that I need the convicting power of the
Holy Spirit to guide me and I know that it's
a blessing. I believe that. I know the Holy Spirit
has told me sometimes when I've come home from
church or from just a day's work and activities
and all of a sudden He'll put in my mind that
I had a conversation with someone today and I
need to call them and apologize that it just
didn't go the way it should have gone and I'll
call the person and say, hey, I just want to
let you know I really enjoyed meeting you today
and talking to you or whatever it was, in -person
conversation or on the phone, whatever it was
and just tell them I'm just sorry because I think
I may have sounded a little gruff or I may have
sounded a little stern but really that was my
intention and the person will always say something
like, oh no, you were not at all. Matter of fact,
I received that but the Holy Spirit told me to
go back to that person and convicted me that
I need to be sure that that person understood
what I was saying and understood that I still
love them and I care for them. So the Holy Spirit's
conviction is something we can't live without
and I pray that you'll receive that in Jesus'
name. Okay, let's continue on. I'm really enjoying
these scriptures. I hope that you are because
that's really the basis of everything that we
teach. It better be based upon the Word of God.
Listen to this, 1 Corinthians chapter 6 verse
19 in the New International Version. Now we're
talking about the Blessings of the Holy Spirit
come to us, and how do we receive them? Where
do they come from? Do you not know that your
bodies are the temples of the Holy Spirit? Paul's
saying these words, led course by the Holy Spirit.
Who is in you whom you have received? from God,
you are not your own." Wow! Our bodies are the
temple of the Holy Spirit and so therefore Paul's
giving them direction. I think he was firm on
this and told them, do you not know? He says,
you've got to understand this and we all need
to understand that in order to receive the blessings
that the Holy Spirit has intended for each and
every follower of the Lord Jesus Christ. Listen
to this one. Paul's speaking again in the book
of Acts chapter 1 and verse 8 in the New Living
Translation, but you will receive power. All
right, here we go. There's another blessing from
the Lord. When the Holy Spirit comes upon you
and you will be my witnesses, telling people
about me everywhere. And of course, he says,
which everything was in those days, Jerusalem,
throughout Judea and Samaria, and the ends of
the earth. Now that includes the rest of us.
The ends of the earth. Yeah, we are the ends
of the earth. We are the rest of the earth here
in America. And those of you listening around
the world, because this podcast goes around the
world. And someone told me the other day that
we've... I've had over 140 countries now who
have downloaded these podcasts. So truly, the
Word of God gets around the world. And this scripture
tells me, and it really helps me to understand
that the blessings of the Holy Spirit come, first
of all, because the Holy Spirit lives and dwells
inside of us, and that we'll receive power when
the Holy Spirit comes upon you, which means we
have power operating in us. You ever stop and
think that... The Holy Spirit is actually identified
as God the Holy Spirit. Remember, it's God the
Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
And it's a triune God, and a God who is there
to help us in heaven. And when Jesus walked on
this earth, and now the Holy Spirit who is here
on this earth abiding in followers of the Lord
Jesus Christ, and he wants to bless us with power.
Power to overcome challenges. Power to overcome
doubt and fear. Power to overcome making bad
decisions. power to overcome setbacks, maybe
physical or emotional or financial, whatever
it might be. We have the power in us to overcome
anything because of our relationship with the
Lord Jesus Christ and the indwelling of the Holy
Spirit. Now Acts chapter 2 verse 38, the New
International Version again, listen to this,
repent and be baptized every one of you in the
name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your
sins and you will receive the gift of the Holy
Spirit. Here we go, we got saved, we got baptized
in water, and now we've received the gift of
the Holy Spirit. I can't think of a better blessing
than that after our salvation is the gift of
the Holy Spirit. Listen to Isaiah chapter 11
and verse 2 here in the New International Version,
and we're reading now the Old Testament now.
The Spirit of the Lord, that's the Holy Spirit,
will rest on Him, the Spirit of wisdom and understanding,
the Spirit of counsel and of a might, the Spirit
of the knowledge and the fear of the Lord. Look
at all the blessings in that scripture. These
are all Holy Spirit blessings that are inside
of us, available to us. The Spirit of the Lord
will rest on him, okay? Listen to this. Wisdom
and understanding. Does anybody out there like
to have at times a little more wisdom, a little
more understanding? I know I do. There's times
I go into meetings and conversations with people
or counseling couples and I say, Heavenly Father,
Holy Spirit, help me. I ask for wisdom and understanding.
I pray that you'll give me the right words to
speak. anoint my time with these people before
I ever get to see the people. I've got to get
myself ready and prepared in the Spirit, not
in the flesh, but in the Spirit to be able to
be of help to them, to have the wisdom and understanding.
And the Spirit of counsel, I ask for that. That
the Holy Spirit will help me with that. And the
power of the Holy Spirit, the knowledge of the
Holy Spirit, and having the fear of God to put
the trust that we have, we place it in God. And
when we do that, I'm telling you, we can take
on any challenge that ever faces us. You can
counsel someone who's gone through the same problems
that you've had, because the Holy Spirit will
give you wisdom, understanding, and give you
the counsel that you need. All right, let's move
on now. Romans chapter 8 and verse 26, another
powerful scripture. And the Holy Spirit helps
us in our weaknesses. There's another blessing.
That means the Holy Spirit can help us with anything,
no matter what it is. And a lot of people will
come to me for counsel, and they'll say, Pastor,
I'm just not really sure how to deal with this.
I don't know how to address this. And I'll ask
them, well, what does the Word of God say? Or,
how are you dealing with it in your prayer time?
Have you asked the Holy Spirit to give you guidance
and direction? And usually, most of the time,
they're saying, well, not like I should. Well,
we've got to seek God as we should, because He
will help us in our weaknesses. At the beginning
of this podcast, I made a list of things that
we were going to cover and about the number of
ways the Holy Spirit blesses us. Well, we've
already given you a ton of those and how can
we know that it's the Holy Spirit helping us
and maybe it's not something of our own flesh.
We've just discussed that and how we must always
give the Holy Spirit credit for any good thing
that happens into our life. We've discussed that
even the last podcast before this. We discussed
that in quite detail and that we must be... willing
to invite the Holy Spirit into our conversations
and every decision that we need to make in life.
And then here we are as getting towards the end
of this podcast, and we read one simple scripture
that says the Holy Spirit helps us in our weaknesses.
Doesn't that kind of... cover everything? Isn't
it true that the Holy Spirit will help us in
every single case that we have? Those are the
blessings of the Holy Spirit. And then in Luke
chapter 24 and verse 19 in the New Living Translation
it says this, And now I will send the Holy Spirit,
just as my Father promised, but stay here in
the city until the Holy Spirit comes and fills
you with power from heaven. That's what Jesus
told his disciples. The Holy Spirit in us has
filled us. with power from heaven. Another great
blessing. Let me just pray for you right now.
I believe this is a moment to kind of bring this
podcast to an end, but I want to pray for you.
I'm going to tell you about what's coming up
in a moment on next week's podcast. The Lord's
giving me something I think that'll be helpful.
We're going to talk about the Holy Spirit and
power or the Holy Spirit and strength. I'm not
sure which one we're going to get into right
now, but one of those two we'll be doing in our
next podcast because this particular scripture
inspired me to think about the Holy Spirit. power.
What does that mean when we just read that and
fills you with power from heaven? That means
all power over everything. But let's pray for
you right now first and ask the Holy Spirit to
help us all and to bless you and to receive the
blessings of the Holy Spirit. Heavenly Father,
for those who are listening in, whatever they're
going through, I pray now the Holy Spirit would
give them power to deal with it. The Holy Spirit
would strengthen them in their weakness. The
Holy Spirit would bring them into truth when
they're wondering what's true and what's false
in their life. I pray that you would anoint them
and an overflowing power anointing of the Holy
Spirit so they'll have wisdom and understanding
and being able to not only to deal with their
own challenges but be able to offer counsel and
words of comfort to those around them. Heavenly
Father I ask that the Holy Spirit would move
in a very special way in each and every one of
our lives that we would never be casual about
inviting the Holy Spirit to be with us in our
prayer time even when we get in our car that
we would invite him to be with us. Lord I Thank
you. I thank you so much for this series. This
series has opened up my eyes to a realm of podcasting
that I haven't done before and that is to just
totally, completely yield every single podcast
inside and out to the guidance and the direction
of the leading of the Holy Spirit. And I pray
now that each and every one of us would take
from this podcast today an understanding that
the Holy Spirit wants to bless us. He's there
to bless us and even convicting us of Sin is
a blessing, so Father, that we receive that now.
And I pray that strength and power would come
upon those who are listening in. I pray that
they would receive the fruit of the Spirit, which
is love, joy, peace, patience, goodness, kindness,
gentleness, faithfulness, and self -control.
Father, those gifts, Father, would flow through
each and every person who's listening in today.
And Lord, may we invite someone in our community,
Lord, a family member, a friend, or someone we
work with, to receive these teachings on the
Holy Spirit that their lives would be dramatically
changed. I thank you, Lord, for your goodness,
your faithfulness. I thank you for those who
are listening in each and every week and each
and every month and all throughout the years,
Father. I pray they be blessed, that they prosper,
Father, and be blessed spiritually, financially,
physically, emotionally, Lord. And we'll give
you praise for it and all the glory. In Jesus'
name I pray. Amen. Well, I hope this has been
a blessing to you. I can't think of a single
podcast that I've ever done that I've enjoyed
more than this one. And it started out so differently
because as I was preparing it, I asked the Holy
Spirit, what should I do? How should I go about
this particular topic that you put on my heart?
And it was just, read my word, read my word,
read my word. And as I went through, I discovered
all of these scriptures. I don't know, we used
probably 16 or 18 scriptures or more in this
particular podcast. And I truly believe that
it was led by you and that these scriptures will
come to life in each and every one of us, and
I just thank you for it. Now if all of you who
are listening would like to know more about Quality
Christian Living, that's the overall name of
our podcast. We're on a series now on the Holy
Spirit. But if you'd like to know more about
Quality Christian Living, you can go to my webpage
at davidcfriendauthor .com. And when you get
there, the front page will pop up and it will
have a link to the podcast. Now this is podcast
number 341, so obviously there's been a bunch
of them done, and there's topics about faith
and miracles and gifts of the Spirit, and finance,
just a plethora of topics that I hope will be
a blessing to you, and free of charge, go through
and listen to all of them once or as often as
you'd like, and refer people to them, because
I believe there's a lot of teachings there that
have been beneficial to people. I get comments
all the time from people telling me how they've
been touched and blessed, and that's just the
Holy Spirit doing the work that He does in each
and every one of us. After you've looked through
all the podcasts we've done, I would like you
to scroll down maybe another page on my web page.
Just go down to the next page. and you'll see
a list of books that I've written, a number of
them dealing with finances, topics on generosity,
topics on having greater faith and how to walk
in faith, live in faith, and how to receive everything
from what other people call as nothing. And there's
even a couple of books I've written for veterans
to give them some help, which has been well received
by a lot of people. So I served in the military,
the United States Army, and I thought I should
write and give them something to look at. So
some of you may find those helpful, to those
that you love, especially if they're struggling
with physical problems through their service
or post -traumatic stress disorder. It's called
PTSD, and it's something that can create terribly
emotional challenges in people's lives who served
in the military or elsewhere. So I hope that'll
be a blessing to you. If you'd like to subscribe

Well, once again, I thank you so much for listening
in. If you enjoyed this episode, I would like
to ask you to just take a moment to rate it and
review the podcast. It really helps us to reach
out to more people. You can leave a review on
Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, Charisma Podcast
Network, or give us a star on rating on Spotify.
However, you choose to do that to support. We
certainly appreciate you and are very thankful
for that. I thought I should just take a moment
and talk about the upcoming podcast we're going
to be doing. Honestly, I don't know at this point
whether it's going to be the Holy Spirit and
power or the Holy Spirit giving us emotional
strength. So I just know it's going to be something
on the Holy Spirit. So I just am praying about
that and need to know guidance and direction
there. But I really don't, I do want to take
a moment and talk about that one scripture, Luke
chapter 24 in verse 19. When the word of God
tells us, and now I will send the Holy Spirit
just as my father promised, but stay here in
the city until the Holy Spirit comes and fills
you with power. from heaven. If you've not received
the baptism of the Holy Spirit with the evidence
of praying in a heavenly language, then I would
encourage you to heed that scripture where it
says, stay here in the city and wait upon the
Holy Spirit to fill you. If you're a follower
of Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit is inside of
you. But then there's another option, opportunity
to draw closer to the Lord and have greater power
in your prayer time, and that's through the gifts
of the gift of your prayer language, having a
time of prayer when you pray in ways that you're
not aware of and you pray about things that there's
needs and you pray the divine will of God. So
I would encourage you, if you've not received
the baptism of the Holy Spirit with the evidence
of praying in the heavenly language and that
you would receive your prayer language, I pray
that you would do that and just take a moment.
So Father, bless those who desire that anointing
and desire to have that gift in their life. I
pray you would bless them now and keep them,
Father. And I just thank you for it, Lord. you
praise for it. In Jesus name I pray. Well I want
to close with a blessing for you. I pray that
the Lord will bless you and keep you and may
his face shine upon you. May he be gracious to
you and give you peace. May you prosper and be
in good health even as your soul prospers. So
until next time may God richly bless you. May
you walk in the power and the anointing of the
Holy Spirit. May you receive the blessings of
the Holy Spirit in your life. Thank you once
again for listening to Quality Christian Living.
I'm your host David Friend, I pray God's richest
blessing on all that you do.
