Few people I have observed bless YHWH’S NAME [the LORD’S NAME] even those in leadership positions in Churches. According to King David in Psalm 134:1 and 145:10, the holy [faithful, saints, godly, loyal, servants, righteous, merciful, kind ones] bless HIS NAME. See below for the Strong’s root words/meanings of “holy” as in “the saints” and for other verses that say to bless YHWH’S NAME. Going by what King David said, blessing YHWH is a sign of spiritual closeness. Many thank and praise HIM but how many bless HIS NAME? I have even brought this up to some, encouraging them to bless HIM in addition to the thanks and praise, and the next time I heard them – again there were no blessings.

In reference to YHWH’S NAME, I think many do not realize that since the New Covenant our FATHER in Heaven gave HIS NAME to HIS SON, YAHSHUA HA’MASHIACH YHWH aka JESUS CHRIST the LORD. HIS ABBA gave HIS NAME to HIS SON for what HE went through in the flesh here on earth. YAHSHUA is our Covenant partner. When people pray and refer to the LORD, are you referring to CHRIST or HIS FATHER?

I encourage all who read this to bless everything about FATHER/SON/SPIRIT, separately and together! Go for it! They deserve it! Bless not only YHWH’S NAME but also all THEIR NAMES, where THEY have been and are going, what THEY are doing, and THEIR whole Being. Ask for it all to be retroactive and for THEM to have all the blessings THEY should have had from the beginning! I believe the enemy is screaming at the mention of this, HalleluYAH!!!

Read the verses below. Try blessing HIM and see if anything changes in your life. Maybe you will just feel good doing it but isn’t that a blessing! At the very least, when you bless others then it comes back to you. Scripture says what we do to others returns to us. Matthew [Mattityahu] 7:12 and Luke 6:31 – “So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you…”.  So if you want to be blessed then bless others instead of cursing them and that goes for what is said to ELOHIM, too. “ELOHIM” is the Hebrew word for GOD.

I have heard people curse ELOHIM and I wince at that because HE does not deserve it. It says in Isaiah [Yesha’Yahu] 55:8-9, that HIS Ways and thoughts are not our ways and thoughts and for us not to go by our own understanding. Wouldn’t it be a good idea to have a conversation with ELOHIM instead of cursing or getting angry at HIM? Do you really think HE is ever wrong? Have you ever seen in Scripture where HE apologized for being wrong? Remember, HIS enemy is wrongness not HIM!

Job [Iyov] 40:8 – Would you also set aside My judgment? Would you pronounce Me wrong, and you be declared righteous?

[See link below for another study involving blessing YHWH. King David had the people bow and prostrate themselves to YHWH when they blessed HIM. I try my best to do this and I encourage all to do their best to do this for HIM, too.]
