Blessers or cursers.

The two daily streams of words towards us each. Practical advice from a monk i read this week: will we agree with blessings or curses towards ourselves and one another?

“…this idea of not pointing your finger in accusation at others or yourself. There are two streams of words coming at each of us daily—one a stream of blessings, the other of curses. Which we join is a matter of life or death. And a matter of good interpretation.

In traditional christian terms, Satan lives to accuse, and is called the accuser; Jesus ever lives to make intercession and speaking daily blessings over each of us, lifting ourselves and our needs up daily.

Which stream of words, we hear and agree with determines the quality and fruitfulness of our days. Both are being broadcast each hour, and others or we can channel them.

To not join or agree with the accuser; to instead, align with He who ever lives to make intercession and wants to stream blessings towards us, and truly knows your real name, and desires to nuance it to you; that you are not just a child of God, but more specifically created uniquely, as a God-poem, forever to be pronounced!

If there are two streams of voices always flowing towards each of us—one of accusation and tearing down, the other of encouragement and building us up. Which do we want to listen to?

Then when we look at others, do we want to stream a voice of criticism or a voice of building up towards true life—words of death or life? Can we be partners in His intercession rather than accusation towards others. That is the challenge of character put forth by Jesus.

It is not that He didn’t confront false views of one another, but His conclusion was to love one another as we love ourselves. Then ultimately, to love God from which all other loves flow from.” We will be a person of blessing or one of cursing. We choose which stream to enter and channel daily, towards ourselves and one another.

Do you want to be a blesser or curser, in regards to yourself and in relation to others? The beam in our own eye is often there by agreement.

Are we going to live as if cursed or blessed? Are we then going to move out towards others as cursers or blessers. This is a practical ethical and daily choice. We battle these voices in our own heads, and then out towards others.
