What it means
Spiritual endowment; being empowered spiritually; the ability to prosper; grace to carry out what is spiritually required.
Grace to function; being empowered to excel.
The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it. Blessing in Scripture is capacity given, not merely goods received.
✦ When it is positive
- Being divinely empowered to carry out a spiritual responsibility
- Being empowered supernaturally
⚠ When it is a warning
- A blessing withheld
- Seeking the blessing while despising the One who gives it
How to tell the difference
Note WHO pronounces the blessing and over what. A blessing spoken by a father, elder or prominent figure often represents God's own endowment; a blessing the dreamer speaks over another concerns what they are being entrusted to release.
