The Power of the Partriarchal and Matriarchal Blessing

They carry the ability to declare God’s Plans, Purpose, and Destiny over our lives.

Posted on

While the word “Matriarch” is not in the Word of God directly, the word “Patriarch” is and it means “Progenitor.” So a matriarch is a “Progenitress” in the natural realm and the Spirit realm.

These two terms are rarely used anymore in most circles, but what they carry in the way of a Spiritual Inheritance is a very real thing and can have a massive impact on the lives of family members.

I remember when both of my parents (who were the oldest living family members that I had) graduated to Heaven. While I had a natural Inheritance that passed to me, something transpired in the Spirit realm that I had a hard time explaining.

The closest thing that I can describe it as would be that I could feel the Authority of that Patriarchal role dropping from my earthly dad upon me. While there was a tangible feel to it, the weight of that role in the Spirit realm took a long time to adjust to.

At first, I felt alone because I realized that the counsel that I used to receive from my mom and my dad was gone, but also that the authority of that role had now become mine. It was heavy upon me for months.

However, as the Holy Spirit began to tailor that mantle to fit my life, I realized that there was real Supernatural Authority that came with it. As Matriarchs and Patriarchs, this authority will have real effects upon those who proceed after us in the natural realm as well as the Spirit realm.

When Jacob was old, he gathered his sons to himself and began to Prophesy their futures over them. As he spoke about their pasts and their futures, it sent Shockwaves clear down his family line into the futures of those next generations to come (Genesis 49).

A Matriarch and Patriarch have the power and authority (in both realms) to influence the outcomes of everyone who comes after them with Blessings or Curses. While we have natural relatives who can do that for us in the physical world, there are those who can pass on great Supernatural Blessings to us as mothers and fathers in the Spirit!

While these people ARE RARE in the Spirit realm, they carry the ability to declare God’s Plans, Purpose, and Destiny over our lives, calling forth those things which be not yet as though they already were in existence.

“(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and CALLETH THOSE THINGS WHICH BE NOT AS THOUGH THEY WERE.” Romans 4:17

For those of you who are Matriarchs and Patriarchs today, I pray that the Holy Spirit gives you great clarity to speak God’s Purposes, Plans, and Destiny into the next generations coming up underneath you!

What you say and declare over these people aren’t idle words, but they are declarations of personal destinies and futures. You’re carrying a lot more authority and power than you may realize because God has placed you at the helm of the ship of many generations to come.

Watch what you say and what you declare because your words carry weight. As you allow the Holy Spirit to steer your course forward, know that there are many in the ship behind you watching where you’re going.
