Because of a bad relationship many years ago, with a person that was an alcoholic, I also began myself to drink ... we broke up, and I kept drinking. I had opened many doors to his demons ... so it went worse and worse of course , and my house was a mess, and garden was a mess, everything was a mess. I had panic attacks all the time, my heart began to be weak and I was thinking to take a knife from my kitchen and kill myself. One day I was walking in the market and my town church pastor gave me The Awesome Power of Blessing book, then I reading and started crying and I couldn’t stop. Then again I contact that pastor who gave me the blessing book and then I accepted Jesus Christ and pastor gave me water baptism, that I could not live like this anymore. Next day I started to pray and bless many people. God put a cross in the sky for two seconds, I was free!! I have not had any problems not drinking since I read blessing book and my mum could not understand what had happened but I gave the Awesome Power of Blessing book to my mother and her life also completely changed . And my life and my mother’s life have been wonderful since the Power of blessing! God is good I don’t think that I would be alive today if I don't have the Awesome Power of blessing book - Jesus changed my life.

God said, "You don’t want my blessing... too bad...I’m going to give it to you anyway."
I want to let you know how your ministry impacted me when you last spoke at my church. It’s a while ago now but I have always regretted that I was not able to at least say thanks after the service, so here I am, thought I’d just let you know what happened to me that day as you spoke and the great blessing that I received.
I’ll start with the back story. I was in my mid-twenties when I started to wake at night and have these horrible episodes where my heart would begin to race for no reason and something beneath my chest would churn like a ball, my face and limbs would go numb and tingly, then I would start to shake through. Each time it happened I thought I was dying, or about to die. I was hospitalised twice after several tests. Even though they saw something was clearly wrong, they didn’t know what it was or how to fix it and so they sent me home to see how it would develop. Needless to say, the episodes kept happening.
That day at the church, I must admit I was skeptical of what you were saying about blessings. I was put well out of my comfort zone when you asked us to bless the person behind, and then when you asked us to raise our hands to receive the ’Father’s Blessing,’ I might have squirmed. But I did it anyway – everyone else was, so I raised my arms for the first time in church.
I think you were about one sentence into the Father’s Blessing when I felt something begin to happen. Firstly there was an emotional response that came out of nowhere, my eyes started welling up. I did not like the fact that I could not stop crying, I tried to of course, telling myself to stop being such a sook, but could not. At this point an anxiety attack came out of nowhere, strong as i’d ever felt it and too sudden, and this had never happened. I had never experienced one during the day, always only at night. And I was thinking to myself, ‘Oh no. This is not good.’ I was really scared and hoping you would stop talking so it would go away.’ But just then, I felt something very palpable, something very ‘wave-like’ hit me and moved right through me from front to back. That churning ball of whatever it was inside dissolved instantly – gone without a trace. In fact, the scary thing is that it flared up almost as if it knew what was about to happen and sought to resist, but was destroyed anyway, and with such ease by this force.
I was left standing there stunned and largely bewildered. I turned to the lady standing behind me at the close of the service (The one who blessed me) and said, ‘Did you feel that?’
She said, ‘Yeah, that was great, I really needed to hear that right now.’ And I said, ‘No, but did you feel it?’
She smiled and asked what happened. I told her what I experienced, that it felt like something passed through me and did something. I still wasn’t sure what at that point. I know now that it was the Spirit of God healing me because I have not had one of those attacks since that day. They stopped overnight. And that was over a year ago.
So, I just want to say a big thank you. Because of your ministry, courage and faith I was healed. I am clearly a believer in blessings now. 😊 I often wonder why God would have done what he did for me that day, given my poor attitude. I was the least deserving person in the entire congregation. But it was like God said, "You don’t want my blessing... too bad...I’m going to give it to you anyway. Here it is."

Weight Loss - 37 kg
I know you like to hear a testimony. At the beginning of the year, after reading your book, I decided to put it to trial. I started speaking blessing over myself. This may sound strange but I started blessing myself with weight loss and blessing myself as a thinner man – and so far I have lost 37 kilos because after a few weeks of speaking blessing over myself I knew I had a shift in the way I was thinking and knew I was in the right frame of mind to commit to a programme. Not finished yet but nearly at goal weight!

Released
I spoke and read out of the book the "Fathers Blessing". I could hardly get it out - I just cried and cried and felt the Lord was healing me. My own father had only ever cursed me and spoken negatively over me until he died. I somehow felt released.

Never Felt Such Liberty
Hi Richard just wanted to take a moment to send to you a testimony of a friend of mine who you prayed for. My friend had deep seated father issues due to the way he had treated her as a child to the extent that she was completely fearful of men and would always withdraw when men were around her. If there was a conflict situation where voices were raised she would become very fearful and basically sought to avoid those situations and would leave as soon as it was physically possible to do so.
You prayed the Father's Blessing at the end of the meeting and afterwards she went up for prayer. You then prayed individually for her and God turned up in such a powerful way that all her fear went and she has become a totally different person. She has never felt such liberty in her life. Her countenance has completely changed and there is a lightness in her appearance which was not there before.

Short Testimony, Big Results
I blessed him … for the first time he really communicated with me; talking freely and smiling and laughing!
I blessed her legs against "Restless Leg Syndrome." We both had tears in our eyes!

A Spirit-Opener
I am so sorry I was unable to personally thank you last night, But I wish to take the opportunity to do so now.
Your talk was an eye-opener, and your prayer was a spirit-opener to many men last night (including myself).

My Words Became Encouraging and Uplifting
I was at church when you preached about the awesome power of blessing and I wanted to tell you what a profound impact your message has already had on my life. I have always had a mouth that rapidly outruns my brain, and what comes out is often not helpful, kind or pleasant – particularly when driving.
I began to pray Jeremiah 15:19 on the day of the service and it has made the most amazing difference.
Within about three days I noticed that it no longer even occurred to me to use those words, and that what was coming out of my mouth was much more encouraging and uplifting to those around me.
I had lived in France for some time when I was younger, so the idea of benediction/malediction was really interesting to me, I realised that I ‘bad speak’ in many other ways, over myself and also over others.
I began praying over my workplace. – I did not feel the business prayer was quite us, but since the children we care for ‘live’ in this place with us each day I began praying the house blessing. Our school now feels increasingly peaceful and joyful and the children are settled and engaged.

Overcoming Depression and a Chance Find
9 September, 2019
Richard, thank you for your booklet, it came to me via unusual circumstances.
I live in Auckland and for the last 26 years I’ve lived at the same address until five months ago when I received an eviction notice which totally uprooted my life. I am 68 years old and this sudden upheaval has been very stressful. I have accumulated a vast amount of assets which required storage until I could find a suitable place [to live].
Due to circumstances beyond my control I was forced to move to a lesser and undesirable place temporarily and not where I thought I would end up. But in this house was your book, which in glancing at, I started to read, and saw how powerful this booklet was.
The man I’m boarding with had received it from a man in Christchurch, your book helped this man overcome depression, and he sent it to Auckland to maybe help his friend.
Richard, The Lord opened my eyes, I was blaming God and reading him the riot act about how He had deserted me for 43 years. But today I blessed Him, blessed my [fellow boarder] and myself and my circumstances.
I feel so different. The atmosphere has changed. My spirit and soul have been lifted, and so has my tenant’s, the unbelievable has happened, I feel different. Thank you for the insight into this little talked about aspect of faith. We know that faith without works is dead faith, but faith with works (such as just to bless), which is extremely easy to do, is very powerful.
In 1999 The Lord healed me of a deadly illness instantly. It was truly a humbling experience, not without future suffering, but no death. The Lord used you in some way to reach me, so I am thanking you in person for your life’s work and I want to bless you as you continually bless others.
I don’t normally do this kind of thing, but here I am putting my faith into action. The Lord impressed upon me to write to you to encourage you to continue what you’re doing as this is well pleasing in His sight.
Richard, I don’t know you at all, but I feel I know you in Christ, and my discernment says you’re the real deal. So be blessed, be mightily blessed in Jesus name in whom you live, move and have your being.
Well, I hope this finds you well and in good spirit, i.e. the Holy Spirit. We all have our own crosses to bear and this is life.
Bless you, bless your family and all the work you do. It seems to be working divinely well. Regards in Christ, Steve
