CONGREGATIONAL BLESSING OF GOD (TO BE READ BY ALL AT THE END)
Sing praises to God, sing praises! Sing praises to our King, sing praises! For God is the King of all the earth.
Sing to the LORD, all the earth; proclaim the good news of His salvation from day to day. Declare His glory among the nations, His wonders among all peoples. For the LORD is great and greatly to be praised; honor and majesty are before Him; strength and gladness are in His place. Give to the LORD, O families of the peoples, give to the LORD glory and strength. Give to the LORD the glory due His name; bring an offering, and come before Him. Oh, worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness! Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; and let them say among the nations, “The LORD reigns.” Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good! For His mercy is forever. And say, “O God of our salvation; to give thanks to Your holy name, to triumph in Your praise.” Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting!
My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast; I will sing and give praise. Awake, my glory! Awake, lute and harp! I will awaken the dawn. I will praise You, O Lord, among the peoples; I will sing to You among the nations. For Your mercy reaches unto the heavens, and Your truth unto the clouds. Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let Your glory be above all the earth.
Also with the lute I will praise You– and Your faithfulness, O my God! To You I will sing with the harp, O Holy One of Israel. My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing to You, and my soul, which You have redeemed.
Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised In the city of our God, in His holy mountain. Beautiful on high, the joy of the whole earth is Mount Zion on the sides of the north, the city of the Great King.
Alleluia! Salvation and glory and honor and power belong to the Lord our God! Alleluia! For the Lord God Omnipotent reigns! Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory
Blessed are You, LORD God of Israel, our Father, forever and ever. Yours, O LORD, is the greatness, the power and the glory, the victory and the majesty; for all that is in heaven and in earth is Yours. Yours is the kingdom, O LORD, and You are exalted as head over all. Both riches and honor come from You, and You reign over all. In Your hand is power and might; in Your hand it is to make great and to give strength to all. Now therefore, our God, we thank You and praise Your glorious name.
Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting! And let all the people say, “Amen!” Praise the LORD!

Steven,
Thank you for preparing this wonderful message and blessing to us. Our God deserves all our praise and blessings back to Him. (Psalm 103:1)
Bless the LORD, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless His holy name.

This message is BEYOND encouraging and inspiring!! I am glad I was alone when I listened to it because I was crying THE ENTIRE TIME!! SO very THANKFUL to have been given ears to HEAR and a heart to UNDERSTAND and eyes to SEE this **AWESOME** vision of the Kingdom of our AMAZING God and Father!! This has been the absolute BEST spiritual feast I have EVER had!! THANKS SO MUCH Steven for allowing God to use you to deliver this AWE INSPIRING message!! I STILL have tears in my eyes as I type this!! This message is one of incredible HOPE and ENCOURAGEMENT!! “How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings GOOD TIDINGS, who publishes PEACE; who brings GOOD news, who publishes SALVATION; who says to Zion, “YOUR GOD REIGNS!” (Isaiah 52:7) I can’t wait for the fulfillment of this GREAT and AWESOME day!! I have a better understanding now of Romans 8:18. “For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are NOT WORTHY TO BE COMPARED with the GLORY that shall be revealed in us.”
