The following are some of the powerful, genuine testimonies from people who have been blessed through Richard's book,​
'The Awesome Power of Blessing' and Richard Brunton Ministries.

Printed in the Pashtu language for Pakistan - 10,000 books, "The Awesome Power of Blessing" 

Nov 2019: Dear Brother Richard Brunton, greetings in the precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ.  We are sending Pashtu Blessings Books for saints and [others]. I believe this book will be a great blessing and source of restoration for all people of [...]

On the Power of Blessing Your Son (via pastor in ....)
Today I received a testimony from brother A.... His relationship with his 16 years old school going son was worst. He always cursed his son on failure in studies. So both father and son did not talk with each other. They never have fellowship, dinner and any program to gather. 

One day he received your Blessing book [in the U ...language] from one of our pastor friend. As brother A.... read this book especially the Father's blessings, Holy Spirit touch his heart and mind. With the power of this blessing message God enlightened and totally transformed his life. He said he wept and repented as he read this wonderful book . God has changed his life completely. Now he loves, hugs his son and bless him every day. Through this beautiful book God restored the relationship of father and his son. He is very much thankful to you for providing this powerful book.
God bless you abundantly.

The Father's Blessing in the Congo and Indonesia
4 October, 2019
How satisfying it is when people you have invested in have “got it” and are doing the same works and greater works - and doing them in many countries. Here are two pastors running blessing seminars and giving the Father’s blessing in DR Congo and in Indonesia.

And no matter where in the world, the response is the same - male or female, black or white, rich or poor - tears, inner healing, deliverance, reconciliation and often healing of the body too.  We don’t realise how broken we are and how much we need to appropriate all that Jesus has done for us on the cross.

Where the Healer is honoured and the seeker is humble and hungry, He comes. Always.
And sometimes He just comes anyway, because He is God.
Richard Brunton

Sir, we have organised Blessings Seminars (using your books) in different parts of Zambia,Mozambique and Madagascar. It was very powerful and blessed time with many leaders and churches. We received many testimonies really I would like to share with you -  people read the Blessing Book they get a lot of healing and during the blessing seminar peoples receive the Holy Spirit  and when we speak the Father's blessing peoples start crying and after we pray the Father's blessings for peace then they start crying with tears and receive healing and God breaks their bonds in the meantime.
​
Sir, thank you so much for these blessing books - what a blessing many nations. I attach some of Blessing Seminar pictures.
Much greetings from Zambia

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   


Blessed and Healed - Ovarian Cysts
A few weeks ago my friend had a scan which confirmed that she had ovarian cysts. In excruciating pain one morning she remembered what she'd read from your book and then began to bless her ovaries. The pain went and a subsequent scan shortly after showed that the cysts had disappeared. She then understood the power of blessing and rang me to testify. ​

I Learnt to Bless and Healing Came
Straight after reading your book I met a man who was struggling with shoulder pain. He was due to have an operation on both shoulders in two or three weeks’ time.

Rather than asking, "Can I pray for you?" as I normally would, I asked permission to BLESS him. He accepted and was immediately able
(after several more requests for more Holy Spirit healing) to lift both arms simultaneously, pain-free, to heights he had not achieved for years and years! 

That opened the door to more prayer about his chronic fatigue syndrome that had forced him to enter an early retirement. I asked God to bless him again with full healing. I led him to Christ then commanded the blessing of healing won for him at the cross.

When I left him his arms were high, hands in the air and he was saying of his own accord, praise Jesus and hallelujah, astounded at his good fortune, and knowing for the first time in his 60+ years that God is a LOVING Father who Loves...HIM!
So, to ask to bless is a great opener. Thanks!

This Book Gets Around - Woman Healed
I have an epic story to share with you: I posted one of your books to my sister who lives in Upper Hutt.  She read it and gave it to her neighbour.  

Her neighbour asked where she could get more so she could distribute them.  So, I ordered a box of books through you in March. 
The neighbour's name is Karen and I have never met her.  

In the first week of September 2018, my sister phoned me to tell me this story.

After Karen received your books she started distributing them.  She first went to a local church morning-tea meeting where members of the community are invited along. She gave the leader of the morning-tea group 5 copies.  

This lady then gave one of her 5 copies to an elderly man who had just lost his wife.  He read it, was impacted by your little book and sent it to his son and daughter-in-law who live in Palmerston North.
​
They read it, were impacted by it and gave it to a Christian lady at their church who had a terminal illness.  
She read it and applied it to every area of her life.  She went back to the doctor and is totally healed!!!  Jesus!!!

Heading to Brazil - Blessing Books in Portuguese and Spanish, July 2019
​I’m heading to Brazil next week to share the message of the Awesome Power of Blessing and meet a publisher to print many books in Portuguese and Spanish. 

And as I write this, 40,000 books are being printed in French for Benin, Niger, Burkina Faso and Togo (northwest Africa). 
Also 10,000 in the Sindhi language for Pakistan and 30,000 for Malawi and Mozambique in their languages. 
What a journey the message of blessing has taken me on!

Over 600,000 books in distribution in many countries in 25 languages - particularly Africa and the Middle East.
Hundreds of thousands of transformed lives. Men now blessing their homes, wives and children. Many physical and emotional healings and many salvations. Muslims are attracted to the idea of blessing and when they experience physical healing many want to meet the Healer. Jesus has opened every door and it all happens because of His grace, love and power. Wonderful Jesus!

​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!

Father's Blessing and What that Meant
I am the Chinese girl who sat next to you in the conference and you blessed me as a spiritual father. 
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the blessing you said over to me.  Before the conference I prayed for 3 things - one of them was to let my father say sorry to me as he did very bad things to me which is not what a father should do to a daughter.
And God is so amazing he let you sit next to me and say sorry to me on behalf of my father. That's why I cried so much because I just felt God is so real and he answered my prayers in such an amazing way.

I am about to finish reading your booklet and already can't wait to share the concept of the blessings to my friends.
I would like to have more booklets to send to friends and bless them.

Father's Blessing and How Much it Meant
Hi.... I was given your little booklet. Interesting that something so small, can pack such a punch. Thank you for sharing your blessing with others. I read the Fathers Blessing. I cried and cried. I took it for myself, from God. My father has passed, and in later life may have said something like that to me, but certainly not earlier. I just want to thank you again, as I shared the same blessing with my mother, who wouldn't have had that said over her either. I bless you, as you have blessed me. Yours in Christ,
Sharon


Father's Blessing; How Powerful
I'm in tears, wow, its amazing. I have been so bitter with my old man and when I read the father's blessing part I felt a sharp piercing in my body and my eyes felt like they were on fire, and it all left me. I am grateful I have a father and he is alive.

For an African Man to Cry in Public ...
​We are blessed and honoured to be part of a life-changing ministry. We are so thrilled seeing men shedding tears during ministry - for an African man to cry in public shows the power in the blessing ministry - men running to get back home so that they can bless their wives and children and then return with testimonies of healings.
Rev Edward (Uganda)


Finally I Started Crying
I was molested from age 6 to about 10; my sister and brother too. Then years and years of being abused by men. When you kissed the top of my head in church the power of the Holy Spirit shocked me! I finally got a real father and daughter hug! I could not understand this. Yesterday I finally started crying non-stop!

Even Children can Learn to Bless
Again thanks for writing this book. I've read it over my girls just about every night for one month. They love it and haven't tired from wanting it read over them. Thank you for the blessing your book has been.

​Father's Blessing
Thank you so much for writing this book. You call it a little book...it is in fact like the Tardis...much much much bigger on the inside  than it's physical appearance. 😊

The seeds of transformation in this book are so key to our Christian life and bringing His Kingdom to earth; they must never be under-estimated. And as seed they will come to maturity bearing much fruit and a never-ending supply of seed.
The Father's Blessing brought me to tears within the first few words...thank you...I needed that healing."

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."

She said, "All the scans and reports have come back, and they simply cannot find it!”
Last year I went for a ultra-sound scan for a pain in my groin/testicle. The specialist could find nothing wrong and had a thought to check my kidneys. On doing this she saw a large mass on my adrenal gland. I was then called in by my doctor and sent to a specialist at North Shore Hospital. The specialist said there was a chance it could be cancer - in all situations with any mass over 4cm the doctors want to operate and remove it regardless if it is cancer or not. In my case the mass measured 6cm. As an itinerant pastor and a man of faith I have had the privilege of seeing incredible signs and wonders of the Lord's power in amazing ways but it is somehow different when it is me in that place facing a personal giant.  

It was then that I came across a little book called, "The Awesome Power of Blessing" by Richard Brunton. As I remember, I opened it and read just a small section about the power of blessing. My first thought was, "This will do." I started blessing my adrenal gland and researched its function. I continued to bless my adrenal gland every morning as well as the hormones it released and what it was meant to be doing  in my body.

Month by month, test by test, the journey continued. Believe you me when I say I had some ups and downs on this road. We finally had the follow-up appointment to meet the specialist at North Shore hospital again. I remember the morning well because we had to wait for ages as the doctor was running very late. In fact, we allowed a man to go in front of us as he had another appointment he was about to miss. Then it was my turn, the doctor invited us into her room and said, " Well, I only have good news for you”! She sat down, read her notes and continued, “I am so sorry for wasting your time, all the scans and reports have come back, and they simply cannot find it!”

We shared with the doctor our faith and belief in a God who can do miracles like this.


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.

Confidence Growing: Learning to Bless and Pray for Healing
Hi Richard,
It was wonderful and unexpected to be able to talk to you along with my daughter about a month ago.  
After reading your book my daughter and myself were really galvanised into action. We have prayed for people, blessed them to health and encouraged them by giving them a copy of your book to bless their prayer life as well.  Each time my daughter managed to pick up the book and read a chapter, someone came into her life who she would have to give the book to.  We gave out the first 20 copies to bless others within a month.  I had to carry them in my handbag as she was approached by her friends with issues and she would pray for them and give out the book.  She encouraged them to bless every situation they were going into.  Her friends are reporting back great success. 

16th December 2018 The first healing I was involved in after reading your book was at church where a person had a herniated disk.  You could actually feel the jelly out of alignment in the spine.  The person was bent over and in great pain.  The anti-inflammatory that had been taken in the morning had worn off and the person was desperate for healing or more pills.  I noticed they were being prayed for and moved to assist .  I used what I had learnt in the book about praying for healing and I asked the Holy Spirit for guidance in how to pray.  This was the first time I had stepped out in church for a long time to pray for healing, hands on.  The Holy Spirit encouraged me to pray for the spine to come into alignment and for every sinew, atom of their being, blood vessel and ligament to be blessed in the name of the Father, Jesus Christ His Son and the Holy Spirit.  I blessed all the work of their hands, their going out and their coming in, their ministry for the Lord and every other blessing that came to mind during the prayer.  During the time I prayed, I felt the really strong heat in my right hand over the spine.  The person could not feel the heat when I told them what I was sensing.  But I felt reassured that the blessing was working.

Two weeks later the person came and told me they had been healed that Sunday and that they were really grateful for the healing. They had felt no immediate improvement or the heat I had felt during the prayer.  But in just 4 hours  they realised they had been completely healed and were pain free, and have not taken any medication since. I was praising God that I had stepped out in faith and blessed them back to health.  I constantly use the phrase “in the name of Father, Jesus Christ His Son the the Holy Spirit” to reinforce to the person I am praying for that it is not me.  I am only stepping out in faith for them.
​ 
The second healing I have had is for myself.  I blessed my own skin as I have had for at least 4 years three lesions on my back that were ugly but not cancerous and the doctor would not remove them.  I blessed my skin back to health for several nights and checked the following night to see if they were gone.  I was expecting them to disappear.  I could not reach them myself to scratch them off to see if they would come off and my husband refused to do anything to them either.  They appeared to be growing in size height-wise, and looked worse to me. My daughter was putting sunscreen on my back and she said to me, "I feel like I want to scratch at these growths on your back is that okay?"  I told her to go ahead and although she has very short fingernails the first one just popped off in her hand.  She went ahead and removed the other two as well. The wonderful thing for me is there is no scarring from them and I no longer have to see them in a place I cannot reach.
 
My daughter and son-in-law prayed the blessing of the Father over their children the other night and one of the boys just sobbed the whole way through, I believe the prayer will be a turning point for his life.
 
Richard I want to bless you in everything you put your hand to, thank you for your little book, I think the best thing about your book is it is condensed and easy to understand and apply; anyone can read it and be encouraged.
Thank you so much for your faithfulness to God and all the sharing you do, as well at Promise Keepers.
Ruth


Inspiring Little Book - thank you
Members of the congregation have found it incredibly inspiring and we’d like to make sure all the Vestry and home group leaders have a copy.

Learning to Bless Anyway
I have just finished reading this powerful little book, and am absolutely thrilled and blown away by its practicality and application. 
I have over the last couple of days prayed for men in very stressful situations, and seen them lifted and encouraged and hopeful about life.
It has also lifted me and equipped me for this place and for my own home. Amidst everything I am encouraged to look for the gold in people and, if I can’t see it, to bless them anyway. 
Thank you brother.

I've Seen Changes 
I have been blessed with your little book, "The Awesome Power of Blessing," by one of the members of my home church group.
I devoured it and have seen changes in my work place and personal life as a result.

From Defensive to Offensive. Greatly Empowered
Thank you indeed for this book.  I have read Roy Godwin's books and learning to speak blessings has changed my perspective altogether from what I would call a defensive position to offensive - opening the way in Jesus' authority for all the power of Holy Spirit to change people's lives and circumstances.  It has greatly empowered me!!  Such a joyful thing to do, speaking God's blessing and desire into people's lives and circumstances. 
Then, my friend came home from Western Australia with your little book and I couldn't put it down, re-reading it and re-reading it, and keeping it close.  Everything so simply pulled together.  Easy to read and take hold of.  THANK YOU!! 
I am looking to pass this Truth on to family and friends and would like to purchase more. 
Leslie


Rapid Results
My husband and I have enjoyed reading your book “The Awesome Power of blessing.”
We only started reading it two days ago and started blessing ourselves and others with astonishingly rapid results. We have decided to buy 20 copies to share with friends and family.

Wound Healed Over Three Days
I am going to share a snapshot of what happened after I read Richard Brunton’s book "The Awesome Power of Blessing"
I have now been under specialist care for 20 years, so I was really drawn to the part about blessing our bodies. I immediately launched into praying a blessing on various parts of my body, and felt a marked improvement. I have a specialist visit every six months and he has been amazed at my progress. In his career as an endocrinologist he has seen only 2 people make it to the level of healing I have achieved.
 
At the height of my feel-good mode, I decided to do some much needed gardening, and it was there I became slightly "undone”. I snagged my thumb and a huge part of my nail came away. I quickly exited the garden and showered. By now my thumb was raw and angry. I placed it into my other hand and thanked it for functioning so well up until now. God reminded me of what this small unassuming part of my body had done – it had cared for people, baked for charities, planted trees, played instruments and sports. Then like a wellspring, I uttered “Thumb may you be blessed in your God-given capability to heal; may this pain dull and infection leave. May my good hand become that of Christ. I then felt an intense heat from my good hand flood the wounded one, and even a slight pulse, which frightened me and I let go and thought "Whoa, what was that???" Then I felt God say, “Would you just trust me?”

I did, I prayed on the next day, then the third day I took a look at it and it was healed, so thank you Richard for the true gift in your book. It has been such a privilege to meet you in person, I have carried your book through many hospital visits and it continues to be a source of great encouragement.
Saunoa 


This Non-Confrontational Book
I believe that your book is one of the most anointed and useful books for this generation as it provides a simple and very effective way to enable the average Christian to become activated under the anointing of the Holy Spirit in a completely non-confrontational (thus very effective) way.

Fathers' Day Week in Fiji
We are really blessed through the ministry that Richard taught us at the Civic Centre. On Thursday, during Fathers' Day Week, we had a special blessing night to bless fathers and then fathers to bless their family members. Every Thursday night now we do this blessing ministry. We have some good testimonies and expect many more shortly.
Pastor Jang (Fiji)


Learning to Bless
I've just read your book, downloaded for free, thank you. (FREE PDF"s - see HOME page on website) - I loved it. It was recommended to me by a couple of ladies at church who have adopted the principles in your book. They have seen amazing results and suggested I read it.
I'd love to purchase 20 copies so that I may share it with others at church.

Spreading the Books Around
I recently ordered 60 copies of the booklet. Could I please order another 40. They have been gladly received and already testimonies of miracles in families, workplace, health and other endeavors.
 
Thanks for sharing your insights and how God has been teaching you.

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.

Prayed for Freedom from Nicotene Addiction
I would like to give you a personal family testimony that took place last November 2016, on the power of blessing from your book.
Our son ( a pre-Christian) has been smoking for 10+years, a huge cost to the family and he keeps saying he wants to quit. After reading your book I started blessing him with freedom from nicotene addiction. After a few weeks he was going through a bit of financial stress and he phoned me to say he really wanted to stop smoking, especially as now his two children were 'at him' to quit. I prayed with him over the phone that God would give him the strength and willpower to stop, then blessed him with the freedom from nicotine addiction!! 

Anyway, a few days later he phoned again to say he had stopped smoking that night and hadn’t wanted a cigarette since. Amen, thank you Lord.

Thank You Note
I don’t think that we have met however wished to thank you for the encouragement and “blessing” that your little book is.

I Spoke a Karakia of Blessing
I have read your book and loved it! I have found your teaching "I bless you in the name of the Father, The Son and the Holy Spirit" powerful.
I was talking on the phone to a work contact on Monday and I asked if I could say a karakia (prayer) for her daughter who is in hospital. 
After I used your teaching she said that it was a beautiful karakia and she had a tear in her eye. 
Thank you for sharing your revelation.  I love it and will always be eternally grateful.

Blessing Your Family Changes Things
On Friday, we met a man, N....., who attended the Auckland Believe event. He had been incredibly impacted by your message and reading your blessing book has completely changed his thinking.

He said as a result of attending PK Auckland, he has realised that God has called him to be a leader in his home. Through your messages Richard, he’s recognising his God-given authority to be able to pray and to bless. His family are not Christians, so instead of talking about his views, he is now blessing his wife and his three sons.

He said at the dinner table there used to be loud negative talk but in just a week of blessing his family, he is seeing change, where the conversations are not as negative now.
Paul
​

Thank You for the Message
We would like to order 20 of your "The Awesome Power of Blessing" books.
We attended your service at .............. last week, and found the message so freeing and encouraging, we would like to share it with others.  
Thank-you so much for this exciting ministry and work you are doing. God Bless

What Happens when You Bless your Business
I often read testimonials and remain sceptical, but I have to tell you I was given your booklet mid October 2016 and after reading it I created my own blessing. I claim it most mornings over my business.

Last November was one of my best [months] ever and last financial year was my 3rd best ever after 6 years of struggle.

Needless to say I share this with anyone who will listen and last week my Accountant (non Christian) asked me “ So what do you account for the change?” so I shared about your booklet and today emailed the pdf to him.
Good work and thank you very much!
David


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).
Pastor Richard


Inspiration for Our Family
Our neighbour gave us a few copies of your blessing book in April and we have been enjoying it so very much and sharing it around our friends and family.

At a recent celebration for one of our daughters my husband read the blessing for children and the whole gathering ended up in joyful tears.Some of our children have asked where they can buy copies please.  As one son said: "Wow! This is so wonderful!”

Thank you for your book and the inspiration it is giving this family and all those we can share it with.

I Gave Them a "Father's" Blessing (There's a LOT More to this Gospel than just Going to Church)
Thank you for such great teaching and impartation at the Eagle Ascend meeting. I read your book a couple months before yesterday's meeting and thought I knew how to bless and to be blessed.

Last night, however, I learned to put everything that I had read into practice following your great practical teachings (directly from the man who God used to write the book, coolest experience ever). Thank you for the father's blessing, I had no idea how much I needed it until last night. I arrived home and could not wait to bless my two kids with the father's blessing (I just gave them a mother's blessing) believing it is equally effective coming from a single mother.  

Thank you so much and I bless you from the bottom of my heart & pray that you continue to be supernaturally blessed to be a blessing. You are a blessing Sir!!  It is writings like yours that confirm for some of us that there is more to this Gospel than just going to church. Thank you.

Thank you for Following the Instructions of the Holy Spirit
Recently we were given 3 of your books ‘The Awesome Power of Blessing’.
Thank you very much for following the instructions of ‘the Ruach Ha Kodesh’ in putting together such an inspirational instruction.
We sent one book off to friends in the USA, and another to a Christian friend, keeping one here as a reminder to ourselves of this Breakthrough.
Please will you send us a dozen of these, as we intend to distribute them wherever we may be instructed so to do.

Changing
I have just finished reading your amazing book The Awesome Power of Blessing and am feeling really inspired and challenged to change my way of praying.

The Circumstances Changed in Two Days
I have been given this little book you wrote, and would like to get some more.  It has been a real treasure to understand more fully the whole purpose and place for us to bless others.

We have always used it so freely but without fully appreciating its power - used in the right way. I have found changes in different circumstances which are quite difficult and some have been truly wonderful.  The latest being my daughter was waiting for 4-12 months for a hospital appointment. The thought of waiting a year was most depressing.   As symptoms started getting worse I set about to bless all the circumstances around her situation, doctors, specialists, timing etc.  She got worse again, then saw her doctor who immediately spoke with the department concerned for an urgent appointment. This all happened in 2 days….
Judy


Situations Changed Simply by Blessing
Could I possibly order a further 40 of your books?  They have been so popular and there are still many people I would like to give them to. 

I have had so many great testimonies from the people I have given the books to!  Some of the people I know well have shared with me how they have been released from bitterness towards others, as they have started to bless them and the situations. 

Also I thought you may like to know, that several home groups in …..  are now studying your book and working through it each week, which they are really enjoying.  I have already had two meetings where I was invited to speak, and where I was able to share about the Power of Blessing and after gave each person a copy of your book. 

It has been so amazing and I so appreciate your wonderful teaching in the book, it is very powerful.  When I received the first copy of your book and read it, I began speaking blessing over my daughter who had a terrible skin condition, and since that time, her skin has been amazing!
I hope all of this really encourages and blesses you.
Joy
 

There's Another Way
I read your book and it is a great blessing for my husband and me. We try to speak blessing instead of thinking and speaking negatively. Thanks for sharing your experience with us through the book. I would like to give the book to others too.

I Wept for My Two Sons Who Never had the Father's Blessing
Your little book reduced me to tears - especially the father’s blessing over his children. I wept for my two sons who never had this blessing over their lives. As their mother, I am blessing them daily as the Spirit leads me, and it has given me new hope and understanding that we can all become overcomers.
I would like to bless others by sharing and giving this little book away.  It is so so good to have a LITTLE book for people to read - with such a powerful message. I would like to buy 10 copies

This Book is a Blessing Given to East Africa
You are a blessing to East Africa. All 10,000 books have been distributed to people in parts of Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania and Eastern Congo and there is still a huge demand for more books.

Some people have given me their testimonies of how they have applied the principles from the book to their situations and how God has moved to bring the blessing and that really encourages me. One pastor tells me that he often grumbled because of the small offering the congregation gave on Sundays but when he started blessing the congregation with regards to their income, the offering has increased and the small congregation is now growing bigger.

One woman whose husband has been a drunk kept cursing him when he came home late and dead drunk. She says that when she read the book and started having a different perspective of her husband, she begun to bless him to be what God intended for him. Now the husband doesn't drink as much as he used to and he quite often comes home early. The quarreling has stopped and she praises the Lord for honouring the blessing she has been speaking to her husband.

A few people told me they will write to you to say how the book has blessed them. I wonder if they have done so.
I look forward to seeing you in Kenya in November/ December for the Generals.
Blessings to you.
Bishop Michael (Kenya)


How Two People Have Used Blessing in Their Daily Lives
Wanted to give you some feed back on a couple of discussions I have had with people.

A good friend of mine explained that she was given your book and was so impressed she has got her group of 26 working women to use it as a study tool and encouraged them to step out and operate in the gift of blessing. The group are due to report back to her next week on how that has gone. 

The second discussion was with a school teacher who was struggling with kids from low income families often without fathers and who created havoc in his classroom. He had been absolutely amazed at the turn around as he has applied the principles. He uses it at home and his children won't leave home without their blessing for the day.

​I asked how the blessing was done - en masse, face to face or before the class arrived, and was it once only or ongoing?
The answer: He does it ongoingly before the class arrives. He is very conscious of employer's attitude to anything Christian so does it via the throne room of God as opposed to one-on-one or en masse to the class.

Used for Street Evangelism Too
I have had wonderful feedback from the books I have given away. Women at my church who do street evangelism have found blessing people amazing.
So many others have come to me and said how it has blessed them.

'All the Clobber' Strangles Truth
Just want to say a sincere thank you for coming to our church and blessing us mightily with both your gentle spirit and the awesome lesson shared with us. 

Lesson learnt - Blessing is SO easy without all the ‘clobber’ that so many of us seem to get caught up in, ‘strangling’ the truth and thereby the full potential of blessing. 

At our Home Group meeting last night we were still all ‘buzzing’ from Sunday as we discussed and shared what we each learnt and grew from. I bless you heaps in the name of Jesus.

Opened up a New Way to Bless
I went to a seminar last weekend and I was given your book, The Awesome Power of Blessing. Since reading your book I feel a fire inside to want to bless people .  In fact, it has been running through my head all the time and its opened up a new way to bless people and the Lord.  I wonder if I could have another book to share with a friend who I know would appreciate it too.  I met with my prayer partner on Tuesday and we did what you said. We blessed each other and prophesied over one another.  We are going to continue to share our blessings with others.
I bless you Richard in the name of Jesus , may your book bring awesome blessings to others who read it.
Valerie


Thank You
Hi Richard, Monday night was a real blessing for all of us, thank you so much for making the time to come and speak to our men.​
Pastor Tim


It Won't Stop There
​One of the copies my wife and I gave away was to a pastor up north. He preached on the subject the first week after reading it and intends to give another message along the same lines next Sunday.

Another recipient has read it, his wife then read it. Their two daughters are currently reading it, and then the little book gets passed on to the man's parents for them to read. And I shouldn't imagine it will stop there!

Books Going Out
Just to let you know I have been giving out your wee book to every student this year, over 80 at Christmas and 12 last week and another 12 end of each month….

Blessing My Immune System
After blessing my immune system and [receiving] prayer, (including yours), my blood factors are considerably improved. 
In fact, during a trip to hospital this week, I had a full blood count, and both the neutrophils [type of white blood cell that helps heal damaged tissue] and WBC [white blood cell count] were 3 times the previous levels.

According to my sister, this not only puts them well into the normal range, but most importantly it shows that my blood is doing exactly what it was designed to do – fight infection - P T L

How and Why in Business
Just read "Anointed for Work". I wanted to thank you for writing it. I really related to your words in the "insights" section. I am a new Christian, two years into my walk with Jesus. I have been in management for decades and your book helped me to better understand the why and how. Thanks.

Large Mass on Adrenal Gland Gone
Richard attached is my personal testimony for you to read and share as you feel led. May it  release even more encouragement, favour and understanding to this amazing gift the Lord has put in our hands 'the  power of blessing'. May it be a launching place for a stream of miracles even more incredible than mine. Thank you Richard for being a forward runner and being obedient to write this simple book which has changed my life forever. 

Last year I went for a ultra-sound scan for a pain in my groan/testicle. The specialist could not find anything wrong but had a thought to check my kidneys. On doing this she saw a large mass on my adrenal gland. I was then called in by my doctor and sent to a specialist at North Shore Hospital. The specialist said there was a chance it could be cancer. In situations with any mass over 4cm it is compulsory to operate and remove it, regardless if it is cancer or not.  In my case the mass measured 6cm. My wife said thank you but we do not accept that and I agreed.

As a man devoted to prayer, an itinerant pastor and a man of faith. I have had the wonderful privilege of seeing incredible signs and wonders of the Lord's power in amazing ways. But it is somehow different when it is me in that place or valley of despair, facing a personal giant.  

It was then that I found a little book called, "The Awesome Power of Blessing" by Richard Brunton.  As I remember, I opened and read just a small section about the power of blessing, my first thought was,"This will do." I started blessing my adrenal gland and researched its function. I continued to bless my adrenal gland every morning as well as the hormones it released and  what it was meant to be doing in my body.

Month by month, test by test the journey continued. Believe you me when I say I had some ups and downs on this road. We finally got a follow-up appointment to meet the specialist at North Shore Hospital again. I remember the morning well as we had to wait for ages, the doctor was running very late. In fact, we allowed a man to go in front of us as he had another appointment that he was about to miss.

Then it was my turn, the doctor invited us into her little room and said, "Well, I only have good news for you”! She sat down read her notes and  continued,   “ I am so sorry for wasting your time. All the scans and reports have come back and they simply can not find it! " We shared with the the doctor our belief in a God who can do miracle like this. Praise the Lord for all he has done! For this incredible miracle!

Since then we have had many opportunities to share this testimony and see the Lord move even more! For example, a lady getting full movement as well as pain completely leaving her body after a few simple prayers. The fascinating thing about this healing /miracle was that her ankle, prior to this point, was in continuous pain because she had very little movement due to the metal rod and 4 pins in her joint. The Lord restored the movement and took the pain completely away. Wow, the God we serve is amazing! 

In conclusion, the power of blessing works! Thank you Lord for my miracle and my healing. Big thank you to Richard for writing a prophetic word that has the power to heal and set people free.  Thank you for your obedience to write it and release it in the way you have done! I pray for more revelation and wisdom to come from the Father through you to see even more of our brothers and sister set free in Jesus Name,  Amen! 
Pastor Craig


True Blessing, Spoken over Someone Describes the Way God Sees Them
I was given a copy of your small book, “The Awesome Power of Blessing” by my sister, just a few days ago, while visiting her in Auckland. Having some spare minutes up my sleeve I decided to have a bit of a “man” read through. I liked what I was reading and after about 10 minutes or so put the book down and carried on with my day. Later in the evening my wife, sister, and I talked about the book and thoroughly agreed on what you had written.

The following evening, my wife and I were driving back to Tauranga and pulled into the Autobahn just past Papakura to pick up a coffee. I had just gotten out of the car when a scruffy-looking guy in his mid-twenties called out to me and asked if I could give him some money so that he could put some petrol in his car in order to drive home. Without thinking I said to him “Okay, go over to the pump and put some petrol in your car and I will go inside and pay the guy on the till.” He said, “How much shall I put in?” To which I replied (the words just came out of my mouth), “Fill it up.” The young man sort of protested, but I repeated my instruction to “just fill it up.” 

He thanked me and was about to drive his car over to the pump when another guy came out from the service station shop, came over to the young man, handed him $10.00 and said, “That’s all I can spare.”  The young guy thanked him, looked at me and said, “Put that towards paying for the petrol I’m going to put into the car.” 

I then said to him, “No, he has given that $10.00 to you, so you keep it and go and fill up your car.” He was a bit taken aback at what I had said, but then got into his car and amid more thanks drove over to the pump. I then went inside the station to wait for the amount to be registered so that I could pay for the petrol.

However, the guy having driven over to the pump, then got out of his car, went over to where my wife was standing, gave her a big hug and thanked her for the petrol. Then he came into where I was waiting and as he stood there the guy behind the counter started shouting at him to get out. He then went on to accuse him of begging for money around the petrol station and said that if he did not clear off he would phone the police. Everyone in the petrol station shop could easily hear this guy berating the young man and I reckoned what he was saying was probably true. The young man protested his innocence, but after a further tirade from the guy behind the counter he decided to head back to his car.

Understandably, because I was standing between the guy behind the counter and the young man, I was a bit stunned by what had just happened, so I then said to the guy behind the counter that I wanted $40.00 in cash via my credit card, which he then gave me, and I then went back outside. I walked over to the young guy, who was standing by his car, and said to him, “I don’t need to know what that was all about, I just want to bless you,” and gave him the $40.00. He thanked me and I went back to my car and drove off. As we continued our journey back to Tauranga, my wife and I praised the Lord for having us bless that young man.

The little bit of your book that I did read included the words: “Don’t judge. Don’t judge whether someone deserves a blessing or not. True blessing, spoken over someone or something, describes the way God sees them. God’s focus is not on how they may appear to be at the moment, but rather the way they are supposed to be.” That was the bit that was going through my mind/heart the whole time I was involved with this scruffy, young man. It was as though I was not - in and of myself - determining what I was doing, although I felt empowered to do it. As a result of that experience my wife and I have shared with our family of believers back here in Tauranga the awesome power of blessing we had experienced and they each now want a copy of the booklet to read for themselves. Can’t say I blame them, can you?

I figure I am going to need about ten of these booklets to meet immediate demands so having this morning discovered your email address in the back of the booklet here I am with my testimony on how the Lord has blessed me through what you have written, asking how I can order 10 copies and how to make payment for same.
Bless you Richard.
Colin


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.

When You Pass this Book On
I gave your book to a friend to read as she went on holiday and suggested she talked to God about it and see what she thought.
She went into town where she was, found a Christian bookshop and brought another for her friend. Then she finished it, and was so excited that she went back and brought 4 more - one for each member of her family.

She is very excited by your book and has obviously been diligently practicing.
So, awesome book Richard and it's changing people. I am so looking forward to reading your next book.
Susan


I've Been Blessing Others at Work 
Our group leader gave us your booklet during one of our meetings.  She read and shared some parts of the book in the meeting. I was very touched when she read how we could change the atmosphere and situation around us when we speak blessings over others and the situation.

 I have been praying for my non-Christian [work] colleagues for some time.  Your book has told me that I could just touch the fabric of the chair which the person sits on, and pray, and believe that God will bless him/her. 

I thank God that I work in a company that is owned by very good and Holy Spirit filled Christians, and I would like to bless them with all the blessings from this book. So I gave your book to the company owner.  This morning my boss told me that he has read your book and found that it is very good.  He would like more books to share with others.

Father's Blessing for Every Man at the Camp
I thought I would let you know how the weekend went with showing the videos on imparting a blessing and the father's blessing at our men's camp.

The guys really enjoyed it all and got heaps out of it. At the end, every single one of them stood to receive the father's blessing and then started blessing others and continued to do that for the rest of our time together. Some of them wanted to borrow the DVD so they could watch it again and most of them said they were going to get a copy of the book at church. One guy, who isn't a follower of Jesus, was so taken with it that he wants a book as well and we are sure we will also see him along at church soon.

Thank you so much for the teaching, the testimonies, the book and the encouragement. It was a mighty time. May many blessings from the Lord be your portion as you continue the good work He has begun in you.
Pastor Steve


Blessing Others has Changed My Life
I have never met you or heard you speak, but over the past few months I have been practicing the scriptural principle of speaking a blessing over people's lives. Our home group leader gave each of us a copy of your book and we read it and practiced on each other first, and then we have been looking for opportunities to speak a blessing over others in our day to day life.

At the end of your book you ask for feedback on how blessing has transformed your life. Attached is a copy of 3 pages of my journal in which I have documented an amazing day with the Lord, a day on which I look back on as "5 blessings in one day."

The day starts with blessing a sick dog, and it was like the Lord led me step-by-step through the morning in increasing steps of obedience until the final step which required boldness.  The Lord led me to go up to a couple in their car, knock on their window and offer to bless them.  Complete 'cold calling,' so to speak, without even building up relationship with a brief chat first.

It is hard to explain how blessing has transformed my life. In my brief experience so far, no person has turned down a blessing - even the Muslim man. Offering to pray a blessing over a person's life opens a door.....it is such a simple non-threatening way to bring the Kingdom of God into a situation ...into a person's life. For me, being able to pray a blessing has added a very special tool to the tool kit... it's like a part of my life was missing and has now been slotted into place.
May God bless you richly as you continue to serve Him.
Sandi

Thank You for this Book
I have just read through your book and it helps me a lot. I learned how to pray and what to pray for. I go to Church Unlimited and I think that's where I got this book from.
Thank you very much for your ministry and may Gods' blessings be upon you and your family.

This Small Book Encouraged Me
It is with excitement that I read your book this morning - oh such a blessing. I feel your book is an answer to prayer. It sums up so many things in such a precious package - and many blessings do come in small things!

I have been praying blessings over people as part of my prayer time having heard about Fald-y-Brenin and read Roy Godwin's first book. But I was waning, wondering … should I continue, is this the right path? I had decided yes - and was praying for God to give me more discipline and confirmation. Then yesterday, Margaret, my friend, who came with us onto the street to pray, gave me your book to read.  

Richard, how marvelous your book has been for me as a confirmation about being on the right path. And its given me the inspiration to keep going. I will be returning the book to Margaret today so that she can read it. I will start praying blessings with more fervour and faith than I have done before, by God's grace.

Your book is perfect Richard.  I bless you and your family and your ministry in Jesus Name, and that He will pour out His goodness and mercy and many blessings over you all to fulfill the purpose that He predestined for you and your family.  I call into being all that has been written in heaven for you and your family that was predestined for your purpose on earth to His glory.  Peace and joy to you and yours in Jesus Name. Amen.
I am now racing off to buy my own book today.
Thank you Richard for your obedience in writing and your sharing.
Susan


Salty and Muscular Christianity
Reading your book has helped solve one of the main spiritual issues I faced.  The thorny problem of how to stay close to God.

When I realised that I was empowered to bless, I felt able to grasp hold of a force that kept the Lord in my mind, and the issues I faced and the distractions of the world were not intruding to the extent that God was forgotten. I have by no means won the battle for total spiritual awareness, but I am sure that it is one I can fight with more vigour because I am blessed by God’s love and He in turn permits me to bless others. 
I know too by the enthusiastic response I have had when speaking about your book to others that this is not my experience alone.

My blessings to you, as the author of an empowering little book.
Thank you in particular for your message. We saw it as salty and muscular Christianity – in that its practical, day to day application is all around each one of us.
Mike


Will You Come and Speak?
Recently I had the opportunity to purchase your little book and would just like to say that it was a real blessing to both me and my wife. So much so that we believe people should hear this story firsthand, therefore I'm writing to ask if you are available to share this testimony.
Graham


Thank you
Thanks for the books - such an encouragement to all I give them to. The response has been very positive and with requests for more!!
Mark


Hope
Someone gave me your little blessing book near the end of the year saying I really needed to read it.
It was great and I loved it and it gave me hope.  I have carried it around in my handbag for ages. It's started to look tatty and dog eared! 
Glenda
​

I have had good feedback re your little booklets I gave away.
Andrea 

My Bible study want one each, and a friend wants 10 and so on! 
I have just returned from a boat cruise, and of course took your blessing book, and so did the girls I had already given it to.  We prayed the father's blessing over each other.  There are a lot of people up here using the 'The Awesome Power of Blessing.' 
Please tell me how you want me to go about purchasing the books…

Interesting Notes from a Pastor in the US
Please know that your Blessing Book has forever changed me and how I do ministry & is changing the face of the congregation that I lead.

As I write this I just finished my "Blessing Ministry" for the day.  I have a 3x5 card made individually for most of the people that come to church either regularly or semi-regularly.  I have a standard blessing for each one of them, "The Lord bless you (or continue to...), keep you, protect you, lead you, provide for you, heal you, and give you peace."  I pray that blessing individually (or almost individually) over the folks 6 days out of 7.  It takes 25-30 minutes to go through the prayer cards.

I then I usually say a second individualized blessing for each person.  I have found Ephesians 2:10 to be a good one, "The Lord reveal (continue to...) the good work which God has prepared in advance for you to do."  Another regular blessing comes from 2 Peter 3:18, "The Lord work in you (or continue to...) to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ."  Another basic blessing comes from Romans 5:2 of the Living Bible, "The Lord work in you (continue to...) to become all that God had in mind for you to be."  One other blessing I pray comes from Philippians 1:6, "The Lord who began a good work in you carry it on to completion..."  

And for the senior folks who have faithfully followed the Lord for many years, I've adapted Ruth 2:12 & pray, "May the Lord reward you fully for all of the good work which you have done."  For children (and for my own 4 year old daughter) I pray Luke 2:52, "Lord, may ________ grow in wisdom, and stature, and in favor with God and man."  

There are some other blessings, but for me, these seem to be the blessings that I feel most comfortable praying.  I also have a blessing for a young married gal who has not been able to have children so far, "The Lord bless (continue to bless...) your womb so that you will be fruitful and multiply."

I have sensed that any negative type of phrasing should be avoided - even if it's just a very little bit of negative.  Any negative at all seems to void the blessing. Also, I have been surprised by the fast "response time" that I have seen in praying blessings upon others.  It's as if the Lord is ready to lunge out in love towards people if we will but release the prayers of blessings on them.

Richard, all I can say is that I sense/feel God's smile upon me as I'm blessing people.  Also, since doing it regularly I have seen the hearts of people change in the church - and in a fairly short amount of time.  Yesterday, in fact, we had the biggest crowd in church that we've had in quite some time, and we had people at the altar for prayer time - and even some young people - and that for us/me is so encouraging.

One quick testimony:  Maybe 2 months ago I sensed the Lord saying to me, "Pray the Ephesians 2:10 for an unmarried gal who has very bad cerebral palsy and who also has a 1 year old child.)  I thought to myself, "Lord, what ministry can she do?"  Well, lo & behold, she got married last week to the father of the child - and they both (all 3) came to church on Sunday.  I couldn't help but think that now her great ministry is taking care of her family - and that IS a great ministry!  Forgive me, Lord for doubting!

I have also sensed God's pleasure & favour upon me when I pray, "Let there be peace & prosperity in Jerusalem."  Since that is the city where God's heart is - it makes sense that He would bless those who say prayer of blessing on the city.
Again, Richard, thank you from bottom of my heart.  
Pastor Darrin (USA)
 

Thank You
Thank you Richard and bless you for producing and making this vital information available.  For me personally it was an answer to prayer when a friend introduced it to me, having prayed about this issue for more than a year.

Changed Me
Hi ...This book has really transformed my life. I was very arrogant and never liked anyone and very"grudgeful."
This book is really a blessing for me and I believe for many, many more ...Thank you.

Thank You from Kenya
​Greetings in Christ Jesus. I divinely met you in a plane to Eldoret in Kenya. You autographed and gave me your book. Thank you for allowing God to use you to change my life. ....

I had a Revelation of My Authority as a Son of the Father
I listened enthusiastically on Saturday at the men’s breakfast at Church Unlimited where I go.  Even before that, a friend had handed me your small book, “The Awesome Power of Blessing” a month or two back it had an immediate impact.  I especially got a revelation of my authority as a son of the Father. No more sitting back and waiting for God to do all the work! .......What a tremendous truth you have brought to the body here in NZ.
John


This is Joy
I gave away most of the books and have received many thanks as people discover the joy of blessing others.  My husband and I gave them to our staff team at church for Christmas. They arrived just in time and I felt much happier giving them rather than just a token bottle of wine or something insubstantial like that.
Helen


Thank You
Your book was amazing, thank you for inspiring me and many others. God bless you and thank you again for the incredible inspiration and learning.

Will You Come and Speak? - YES
One of our group gave me a copy of your book “The Awesome Power of Blessing” at a lunch meeting we had prior to Christmas. Your book has impacted our thinking, and opened up a whole new realm for us. Thank you so much for publishing it! Our group meets once a month, around the 3rd Thursday, and I was wondering if you would be able to come and speak about 'the awesome power of blessing' at one of our meetings this year?

I was given a copy of your book The Awesome Power of Blessing.  I have been challenged and blessed by it.  I would like to buy some copies to give away.

I’ve just read your booklet on blessing. It's fantastic!

Awesome little book. My husband got a copy from Riccarton Baptist and he was at Promise Keepers.
I'm looking at buying around a hundred for my people here at the ……. and wondered how much they are and who do I get them from?

My name is Tom and I am the Pastor of the ………….. I was given your email by a mutual friend ……………
He spoke of your book on the power of blessing and he did a real good job of getting me interested hence this email…
Tom


Can you please send me another 10 books?
... the ones out there are creating a desire for more.
I am down to one now.  I spoke to an older man at church today. I'd given him a copy of the book last week.  He told me how it had blown him away, and, as a result, he is speaking a father’s blessing over each of his adult children using the prayer in the book.  He runs a men’s group on a Monday midday (all older retired/semi-retired guys) and he said if you were ever coming down this way he would love to have you come and speak to the guys.

Thanks for the wonderful message on "blessing" at Promise Keepers.

I attended the Wellington Promise Keepers conference and I was so blessed by your sharing on the Saturday morning that I purchased 10 books. I have now given them all away because they contain such great nuggets of truth.
Can I purchase some more through you directly? I would like about 100 so I can keep giving them away. Yes - click here.
Also where should I go to look for video or a DVD of you speaking on blessing? I was wanting to show something to our church. Yes, look here.
Bruce


Thanks a million. I love the book. Easy for me to read. I got to read it over and over again. Tears of joy were flowing from my eyes. God is great, and loving to us.

I was at Promise Keepers and I have been very excited about blessings, our divine right to do …
Ted


I am wondering if we could buy some of the above [books] as I would like to give some out as gifts.  I have found the message to be a real blessing!

From Australia
This email is firstly to say thank you for writing such an encouraging book in a lovely size - they may be taken anywhere!!!  … Especially remote Australia where people often do not have access to computers or understand data on their phones!
We are hearing some absolutely amazing testimonies of what God is doing because His people are speaking blessings!!!

Blessing Instead of Complaining
I was given your book by someone who went to Promise Keepers and I have started blessing people and situations instead of complaining.  It feels so much better, if anything, to know that I am speaking good into the situation.
I have a group of ladies who meet once a week and would like to get some books for them. Please tell me where I can get some more? Click here

Learning About Blessing Myself
My husband brought home your book from Promise Keepers in Wellington. Wow! Your book is fantastic! Your book is Awesome!! We love it and we're doing it. Your book has taught me about blessing myself, not asking God to do it. I love the teaching about blessing yourself and your body and getting healing that way. Talking to my body and thanking it for doing its job.

We have been putting it into practice and using it in our Life group that meets in our house. Your book has been loaned out, but we would love more copies.
​Valerie


Thank you
Hope all is well, I wanted to thank you for this book and have given so many to friends etc.

Some Short Testimonies from Julia
Thank you so much for the wonderful little book you sent about blessings. It has been most helpful. It has opened up the opportunity for me to speak with my daughter and her partner and suggest they have their house blessed and prayed through. She has been very anti and resistant up until now, but I was able to quietly suggest inviting a Christian couple to go through and pray blessing throughout.

Also, I gave your book to a very needy lady at church and she told me last Sunday that since she’s been praying the prayers of blessing, the demonic voices in her head have gone. Her son has now requested a copy of your book.

Here is some more feedback concerning your powerful little book. This time from a new Christian, a beautiful Maori lady, in Gisborne. 
Thank you for the lovely book you sent me. It was so lovely that my Aunty wanted it. I said she could have it as she found it very encouraging.
My husband attended Promise Keepers in Lower Hutt last weekend where he purchased your book, The Awesome Power of Blessing.
Julia


Brilliant Little Book
I just wanted to let you know that your book on 'Blessings' has arrived in our newly formed Home Group, carried by a very excited lady who has been tremendously impacted by it. She had 3 copies of it - I think her husband got them from PK - and they immediately got snapped up by some members. It is a brilliant little book and I'm sure will be a blessing to many.
Anita



I was recently introduced to your message on Blessing on YouTube and was very impressed with it.  I think it’s a message our church needs to hear.
Pastor Andrew



Love your book "The Awesome Power of Blessing."
Have given several away to people who I hope will benefit from reading and applying the principles in it.
John


A Great Little Book
I received my copy from Bruce at Foxton who was at a Promise Keepers meeting a few weeks ago.  
It is a great little book and I want to share it with some friends and family.
Thank you again.  May you enjoy blessing many people as I hope to learn to do.

Praying this Way has Changed Me
I go to the ……… Community Church and various ones have already begun blessing in this way and they haven't even read your book yet!  The thing that I have noticed is that it has changed me.  I can't bless people who have irritated me, for example, and then speak or even think wrong thoughts about them. That would be wrong.  Instead I am looking for good results to come from the blessing.  Also, it makes praying so much easier somehow.  When you bless the plans God has for a person's life, you couldn't pray a more wonderful prayer.  It is very exciting.  Thank you for writing this book.
I bless you and the plans God has for this book.
Jillian



Leila gave us a copy of your fantastic little book, "The Awesome Power of Blessing" and I would like to order 25 copies for our two home groups.

More Books
Having handed out the 20 booklets to our elders and ministry leaders and also to some others (evangelists and intercessors) in our church, I have been hearing of the many blessings being given and people being blessed.  This has really struck a chord with our people.  People have been found the booklet easy to read and are talking about the testimonies and the ‘how to’ nature you have written about.
In response to a number of requests we would like to place an order for 100 further copies!!

Senior official Fiji
Thank you so much for all the blessings. I was brought up an orphan with a single parent (mother). I did not have the love of a father. You have been a blessing when you shared the father's blessings to me.
I bless you Richard with good life and life of a loving father. Thank you once again. Love and blessings.



I was given a copy of your book during a conference on Thursday, ended up reading it during one of the presentations.  
After reading it I just know it will change the way I pray and bless, and on my life.
David



I don’t think that we have met, however wished to thank you for the encouragement and “blessing” that your little book is. I am seeking to put this into practice with a few of the young people I meet with.
The booklet was given to me by a friend – where can I buy, say, 10 copies? 
Thanks again and may you and yours continue to be blessed, guided & directed most abundantly!
Jim



Awesome last evening. I had the amazing privilege of pronouncing a father's blessing over the two young solo mums who live with my wife and I. Greatly touched the heart of one of them. What a joy to bless these girls. Thank you again.
Richard



Thank u very much for your message at PK. I have had the privilege now to bless my son and his wife and also the principal of the school I teach at (not yet a believer). It is truly wonderful how we can be the fragrance of Christ.
No name included



I gave some of your books to the staff at a local Christian school and they are begging for more!!!

I've Started Blessing ... Like I Used To
Many thanks for the little blue booklet. Can I tell you a wee story? 
Yesterday, I was expecting to host a couple at church. I had met him in Invercargill Prison and had been corresponding since that time. He was released just a month ago to join his partner in Tokoroa. They wanted to see me, but couldn't make it due to unforeseen family obligations. I was disappointed, I was so looking forward to seeing him (I was instrumental in his baptism). Then you gave me the booklet. I went home and read it over lunch. It moved me to the extent that I couldn't wait to bless them and jumped in my car and drove to Tokoroa. After a great reunion over a cuppa tea I was able to bless them both and left, with great joy. Thanks again. I've re-started blessing people and things, like I used to do.
Bill


We are so pleased to have met you at Promise Keepers, and to have you pray the father's blessing over us.

This Book Going into Many Places
Was up at Paremoremo tonight and gave copies to other team members. 
Your book has been such an inspiration to so many. Praise God may He continue to inspire and use you for His Kingdom. AMEN! 
Gordon

​

Thanks for your gift of your book, 'The Awesome Power of Blessing'. It has helped me to clarify and develop this skill of blessing others.
I have sent copies of your book to my family members and want to continue to get this wonderful message out.
I would like to get a further 75 copies to be able to give away.

Blessing Before Surgery
Last Saturday we anointed and blessed a non-Christian friend who was due to go into hospital for an operation on Tuesday. The doctor and nurses said the operation went better than they had ever seen for that surgery, it finished half an hour sooner than normal and the wounds are healing extremely fast.
Praise the Lord. The power of blessing works!
Don


Opened a New Path for Me
Wow! Your book is written in very simple language but sooo powerful it will have impact in people’s lives. We read many books but your book about blessing covers everything. I listen to many preachers but “the Awesome Power of Blessing” makes me think and speak and bless people in a different way. It opened a new path in my life really. I speak blessing every day and it works.
