Every one of us has felt the sting of a harsh word…or the lift of a well-timed encouragement. But what if your words carry more weight than you realize? What if your voice is part of how Heaven wants to bless the earth? In a world full of cynicism, curses, and criticism, God is looking for people who will speak like He speaks—who will bless.

This isn’t just about positive thinking or being nice. According to Scripture, you’ve been commanded to bless. That means your words aren’t just personal—they’re priestly.

Let me show you why this matters.

The Presence of God is the believer’s natural habitat—the place we were made for. I’m not just talking about God being everywhere (omnipresence), but about His manifest Presence—when He shows up in a real and tangible way. Sometimes He comes with power, other times with peace. But talking about His Presence isn’t enough. We need to experience Him—and David’s life gives us a framework.

All across America, the 4th of July is a celebration of freedom. But long before our nation declared independence, God declared liberty through the Year of Jubilee—a sacred time when servants were released, land was returned and what was lost in hard times was restored by God’s design.

Yet, there’s no biblical record of Israel ever celebrating it.
Why?

Because freedom costs. And ultimately, only One could fully pay the price: Jesus Christ, our true Jubilee.
