how to bless your home
[Music]
hi so our homes are very significant
places of shelter of provision of growth
of sanctuary and so it's very important
that at every stage in our lives that we
commit our homes to God and ask for the
Holy Spirit to come and move and bless
the places in which we live
it's not about bricks or clay or mortar
or wood it's about relationships it's
about comfort it's about growth it's
about change today I'm going to give you
a few ways in which I have prayed for
the different homes that I have lived in
at different times and at different
seasons and hopefully these will be
helpful for you so the first one is what
you might naturally do when you've
finally moved into that house that
you've been hoping to move into and a
lovely thing to do is to gather together
your community whoever that is for you
family friends your church community
gather them into your home and pray for
that home and I've got a sheet here
which is all about that Health's
blessing gathering and so this is how I
recommend that you do it but you'll find
your own ways I'm sure and it will work
its own way through so the first thing I
would suggest is that you gather
together and that you ask someone to ask
the person that's moved into the house
you that be you or someone else about
their hopes and their dreams for that
place for that home remember to listen
remember to take in what they're saying
ask questions off the back of what they
say and secondly ask as well if there's
any worries they have about that new
home any concerns any transitions that
would be difficult for themselves or a
member of their family
and take those into account as well the
second thing to do is to split up into
twos or threes and make sure before
people arrive that you've placed some
paper in each of your rims and a lovely
thing to do is to send people off around
the house praying in different
directions and ask them to write down
significant scriptures that come to mind
significant pictures significant prayers
for specific individuals in the family
that come into mind were in those their
specific rooms that they're praying in
you want to give people a nice good
amount of time to do this and ask people
to be really aware of the Holy Spirit's
be aware of the prompting of the Spirit
it might be that as you go around that
God leads you to place something within
that room which represents something so
it could either be moving something from
one room to another like a voice of
flowers it could be that you actually
write a scripture out that's intended to
stay in that room but also blessing the
fabric of the room can be a lovely thing
to do
and lastly gather everyone back together
in the largest room and then share
together so that those there were going
to be living in the home really hear the
feedback of those people who have been
praying and then stand and pray with
that family pray with those people about
that new home I can't emphasize the
importance of this remember that where
we walk his holy grants and when we
invite the Holy Spirit in to any
situation he will move and he will bless
that building he will bless that space
that environment and it's very much that
the old goes out and that the new comes
in when you move into a new property God
comes with you so the second thing that
I might suggest to you is if you've been
living in a property for a while but
there's been maybe students
significance life and things which have
happens there might be that there's been
huge change or transition it might be
that there's been trauma there's been
grief it might be that there's been
conflicts in that home it might be that
there's been someone who's been having
bad dreams or nightmares whatever it is
that leads you to feel concerned it's
very very important to go to that house
that you physically go to the house of
the people that are dealing with these
things and pray a lovely thing to do is
to take some oil if you haven't got oil
you can use water and I think that the
entrances and the exits of the house the
windows the doors a very important
places because it's about what comes in
and it's also about what you're pushing
outs so as you walk around the house and
pray pray in through those doors and
those windows God's presence his peace
his love his security his hope and as
you do so pray out the things that have
been happening the trauma the fear the
instability the tears the sadness the
things that actually have remains a
difficulty within that home within that
family and you pray those things out and
once you've done that you make the sign
of the Cross on the mantle of the door
or on the window it's a seal and it's a
reminder that the Holy Spirit is with us
and he does watch our boundaries he
promises that our boundaries will be
ones where he will God and that there
will be peace so we come with that
authority the last thing that I want to
suggest is for those of you you have
maybe a more transient life I went
through seasons like this when I was a
student and sometimes our home is not
one place it's multiple places and
it's very important that we hold on to
God's blessing for us and we lay that
down in each place that we find
ourselves sleeping so what I would
suggest is that you you have a a
blessing either a blessing written out
square it can be scriptures it can be a
prayer written out about the home and
you know take this with you this is
something that someone wrote out for me
when I was a student there's little
letter on the back in their scriptures
and it was very important carrying
things they're like this around with me
so take it with you and remember when
you come to a new unrested or a new
lodgings or if you're traveling across
different countries and you country or a
new place you lay out this blessing
within the home when you first walk in
and you pray you pray these things into
the home prayers of significance and God
will honor those prayers so um I hope
that gives you some ideas of ways in
which you can pray for your home if
