Benedictions.

A benediction (Latin: bene, well + dicere, to speak) is a short

invocation for divine help, blessing and guidance, usually at the end of worship
service. The Hebrew word for blessing, benediction; b'ra�khah, pl. B'rakhah�khot,
comes from berekh ("knee"), thus making a connection between worship and kneeling.
To "make a B'rakhah" is to say a blessing, to bless. Benedictions are what God
does for people. The most famous of all benedictions is probably this one. "The
Lord bless thee, and keep thee: The Lord make his face shine upon thee, and be
gracious unto thee: The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee
peace." (Numbers 6:24-26.) Here are some other well known blessings in the bible,
scriptures, or word of God. The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall
preserve thy soul. The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from
this time forth, and even for evermore. Psalms 121:7-8 Now the God of hope fill
you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the
power of the Holy Ghost. Romans 15:13 Now the God of patience and consolation
grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus: That ye
may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus
Christ. Romans 15:5-6 The Lord will give strength unto his people; the Lord will
bless his people with peace. Psalms 29:11 Now God himself and our Father, and our
Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way unto you. And the Lord make you to increase and
abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we do toward you;
to the end he may stablish your heart unblameable in holiness before God, even our
Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints. I
Thessalonians 3:11-13 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall
keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:7 God shall supply
all you need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Now unto God and
our Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen. Philippians 4:19-20 The Grace of our
Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen. Philippians 4.23 Grace and peace be
multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, According
as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and
godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue. 2
Peter 1:2-3 Blessed be the Lord for evermore. Amen and Amen. Psalms 89:52 Now unto
him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the
presence of his glory with exceeding joy, to the only wise God our Savior, be
glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen. Jude 1:24-25 Now
the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great
shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, make you
perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is well-
pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever.
Amen. Hebrews 13:20-21 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray
God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of
our Lord Jesus Christ. I Thessalonians 5:23 Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and
God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting
consolation and good hope through grace, comfort your hearts, and stablish you in
every good word and work. 2 Thessalonians 2:16-17 Grace be with all them that love
our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen. Ephesians 6:24 The grace of the Lord
Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with
you all. Amen. II Corinthians 13:14 God is able to make all grace abound toward
you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every
good work. 2 Corinthians 9:8 The Lord bless thee, and keep thee: The Lord make his
face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: The Lord lift up his countenance
upon thee, and give thee peace. Numbers 6:24-26 Be not conformed to this world:
but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that
good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. Romans 12:2 Finally, brethren, Be
perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love
and peace shall be with you. 2 Corinthians 13:11
