The Priestly Blessing

I AM Jesus. We gave instructions to Aaron and his sons on the way they should bless the children of Israel. They were instructed to give the priestly blessing saying, "The Lord bless you and keep you; The Lord make His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you; The Lord lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace." (Numbers 6:23-26.) This is a powerful prayer because the priests were putting Our name on the children of Israel, and We blessed them for it. (Numbers 6:27.)

This blessing does not only apply to the children of Israel, but every person who has received Me as their personal Lord and Savior. The Gentiles, or every person who is not Hebrew, has been grafted into the blessings of Israel when they put their faith in Me. (Romans 11:17.) The priestly blessing does not only apply to the Israelites, but also to those Gentiles who have a personal relationship with Me. When you bless each other with the priestly blessing, you are stamping Our name on each other.
Every person who has a relationship with Me can bless others with this priestly blessing. When you received Me into your heart, you entered into a royal priesthood. (I Peter 2:9.) You have permission to bless others.


Numbers 6:23-26
23 “Speak to Aaron and his sons, saying, ‘This is the way you shall bless the children of Israel. Say to them:

24 “The Lord bless you and keep you;
25 The Lord make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
26 The Lord lift up His countenance upon you,
And give you peace.”’

Numbers 6:27
27 “So they shall put My name on the children of Israel, and I will bless them.”

Romans 11:17
17 And if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them, and with them became a partaker of the root and fatness of the olive tree,

I Peter 2:9
9 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;
