Chapter Five
The Power
of a Blessing
This is one of the most life changing teachings the Lord has ever
brought down my path. I have seen such a dramatic change in every
aspect of my life and ministry by applying the truths I am about to
teach on in this chapter. After entering the gate which represents the pure
gospel with power, one would go into the outer court of the Tabernacle. The
main emphasis of the outer court was blood and water. So what was it that
flowed from Jesus’ side? I will teach more on the brazen altar and laver in
later studies, but I want to focus on a very common activity that happened
daily in the outer court. This activity is the spoken blessing from a Priest over
a family leader. The Bible records in Numbers 6:22­27 the Priests would
speak this blessing over God’s people: “The Lord bless you and keep you;
the Lord make his face shine upon you and be gracious unto you; the Lord
turn his face toward you and give you peace.”
What is a blessing?
A blessing is a word, or series of words that are positive, and are what you
want to see come to pass in someone’s life. The word “bless” in scripture
implies to cause someone to excel, prosper, abound, or do well. You can
look over the course of someone’s life and see if they were blessed or
cursed. Someone that is under a curse will have something working against
them their whole life. Someone that is blessed will appear to have a golden
touch. Everything they touch will turn to gold, and everything they do will be
successful.
God’s blessing
There is something in scripture called “The Blessing.” We see this in Psalm
133:3 when it says God “bestows his blessing” or commands his blessing as
in other translations. This commanded blessing is a blessing straight from
God. People that have God’s blessing are those that obey his word. When
we walk in obedience to the word of God, he will command his blessing over
us. This commanded blessing traveled from Abraham, to Isaac, to Jacob, to
Joseph. We can see it pass over the other brothers and land on Joseph. I
want God’s blessing. In scripture we see there are basically nine curses for
disobedience to God’s word and seven blessings for obedience to the word
