    Praying the Priestly Prayer - Warren Marcus

    DAY 1

    AN ANCIENT BLESSING AVAILABLE TODAY

    The LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make His face to shine upon you, and be gracious unto you; the LORD lift His countenance upon you, and give you peace.

    —NUMBERS 6:24–26

    I CALL THE prayer of blessing in Numbers 6:24–26 the Priestly Prayer of the Blessing. I wrote an entire book to reveal this prayer’s significance. In it I shared the story of how I discovered that not only are the words of this blessing a beautiful expression of G-D’s love toward us, but this prayer is the only one in the entire Bible written by the one true G-D of Israel. I encourage you to read The Priestly Prayer of the Blessing if you want the full story of this revelation and how I came to be chosen to impart this truth.

    To increase your ability to receive the fullness of this impartation, this new book, Praying the Priestly Prayer, takes the insights I shared in my first book and delivers them in a month of shorter readings, helping you incorporate this prayer and its blessings into your daily life. My prayer is that it deepens your understanding of the prayer and helps you fully experience all its benefits. It’s important to realize that it is possible to receive various degrees of benefit from anything written in the Bible. I’ve identified seven levels of blessing and understanding that are available to us:

    One level of benefit comes from just reading the Word of G-D.

    A second level is achieved by meditating on the Word.

    An even greater blessing comes when we begin studying the connection of verses to other passages in the Bible.

    An even deeper level occurs when we study the Hebrew or Greek meaning of the words themselves.

    The fifth level is transformation, as the Word of G-D affects our very thinking.

    A sixth and even deeper impact comes from G-D Himself as His Holy Spirit writes the meaning on our hearts.

    But the seventh and greatest impartation comes when G-D manifests Himself—His very person—to us, dwells within us and upon us, and flows out from us to others. The result is a tangible change in our minds, hearts, souls, and circumstances, leading to supernatural breakthroughs!

    Most believers either are not aware that deeper levels exist or have never been challenged to pursue such. They are unaware of the great blessings that ensue. When we receive the fullness of impartation, which G-D Himself intended to be experienced, there is no limit to what is possible! I believe you purchased this book because you want to go deeper in your understanding of this prayer and receive the fullness of everything G-D intends to impart through it, so let’s get started.

    The good news is that there are keys to how this divine prayer can be proclaimed effectively over us today, and the first key is realizing this Priestly Prayer of the Blessing is the only prayer written by the G-D of Israel Himself. The depth of this truth cannot be overstated. To grasp this, let’s recall the circumstances into which G-D introduced this prayer.

    G-D’s PRAYER OF GRACE IN THE DESERT

    The children of Israel had little understanding concerning the G-D who led them out of Egypt. As they crossed the Red Sea, they had little cognizance that they—the Hebrews enslaved by Egypt who were now free—were Abraham’s physical descendants. The Old Testament had not yet been written—Moses was about to receive the first five books, the Torah, from the one true G-D of Israel on Mount Sinai.

    They beheld ten plagues unleashed on Pharaoh and Egypt for not letting them go. They witnessed G-D parting the Red Sea and holding back the Egyptian army with a pillar of fire from heaven. They walked on dry ground as G-D made a pathway between two walls of raging water. And when they got to the other side, they watched as G-D caused the water to come crashing down with a vengeance on the Egyptian army pursuing them.

    Yet while Moses was meeting with G-D on Mount Sinai, receiving His Word—His instructions, the Torah—they had Aaron build a golden calf and began worshipping this Egyptian idol. Moses was meeting with G-D on the top of Mount Sinai, receiving the Ten Commandments written by G-D’s own finger, carved in stone.

    G-D was angry with the children of Israel for worshipping the golden calf in the valley below. He told Moses that He would wipe them out, but Moses interceded, and G-D repented of His anger against them.

    It was to this rebellious, imperfect people, the children of Israel, that the one true G-D gave the supernatural Priestly Prayer of the Blessing for them to experience His reality in a personal and powerful way. G-D would soon tell Moses to have this prayer pronounced every day over the children of Israel by the high priest Aaron and Aaron’s descendants.

    Please don’t miss the significance of what I’m saying. This wasn’t a man’s prayer to G-D; this was a prayer conceived by the G-D of Israel Himself to be prayed over His children. It is the greatest prayer of grace ever given to humanity. It is a supernatural prayer!

    This prayer of blessing isn’t based on how good or how perfect you are. The children of Israel weren’t deserving of this, and neither are we. But this supernatural prayer was so powerful that it caused Israel to experience supernatural favor and blessing from G-D for forty years as they wandered in the wilderness. When proclaimed over you, this prayer will help propel you to be successful in all your endeavors.

    PRAYER OF DECLARATION

    G-D of Israel, I want to know You more deeply than I’ve ever known You before. Give me the ability to understand this prayer that You wrote. I thank You for showing me that You accept me as I am right now. I want to understand the truth and receive an impartation of Your presence like never before. I pray this in the name of Yeshua (Jesus).

    DAY 2

    THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE HIGH PRIEST

    They will put My name upon the children of Israel, and I will bless them.

    —NUMBERS 6:27

    THE NEXT KEY to unlocking this prayer’s effectiveness is to ask ourselves who G-D intended to proclaim this prayer of blessing every day over the children of Israel. Numbers 6:27, the verse immediately following the Priestly Prayer of the Blessing, answers this question and shows us why Israel received the outpouring of the supernatural that G-D intended.

    Only the high priest could administer the Priestly Prayer of the Blessing because only he could dispense a supernatural impartation of the Shekinah glory onto the children of Israel—a portion that he received in the holy of holies. The high priest was an intermediary between the children of Israel and the one true G-D of Israel.

    Why was an intermediary needed? An intercessor was always needed in the old covenant. At first, Moses would meet with the one true G-D on behalf of the children of Israel. Then, once the tabernacle in the wilderness was constructed as commanded by G-D Himself, and then the holy temple, only the high priest could meet directly with G-D in the holy of holies once a year as a representative of the people.

    If the high priest was needed to impart this blessing under the old covenant, how can those of us under the new covenant receive the full impartation of the blessing today? I believe G-D has revealed to me how you and I can receive the same supernatural fullness that the children of Israel received through their high priest!

    FROM OLD COVENANT TO NEW COVENANT

    While pronouncing this blessing, the high priest Aaron extended his hands toward the people, spreading his fingers apart and placing his thumbs together to represent the Hebrew letter shin, an emblem for El Shaddai. This represented G-D Almighty. (The Hebrew word dai means to shed forth, pour out, or heap benefits.) By praying in this manner, through the high priest of Israel, a little portion of the actual Shekinah glory (the manifest presence of the one true G-D of Israel) was poured out on the children of Israel in a supernatural way.

    There are two things to understand about the old covenant. First, the children of Israel did not have the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) residing within them. The manifestation of the Holy Spirit within only occurred as a result of Yeshua’s promise that it would be far better when He was gone because they would receive the indwelt Holy Spirit. (See John 14:16–17.)

    The first promise resulting from the new covenant is that all believers who accept by faith Yeshua (Jesus) as their Messiah will have the Holy Spirit within them.

    Then I will sprinkle clean water upon you, and you shall be clean. From all your filthiness and from all your idols, I will cleanse you. Also, I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit [a new nature] I will put within you. And I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh. I will put My Spirit [Holy Spirit] within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them.

    —EZEKIEL 36:25–27

    Second, for the most part, the children of Israel didn’t have the Holy Spirit upon them. Under the old covenant, the Holy Spirit was only placed upon certain individuals of Israel, such as prophets, kings, and priests. On one occasion, the Holy Spirit came upon a donkey ridden by the prophet Balaam, causing the donkey to speak and forbid the madness of the prophet (Num. 22:28).

    The second promise from the new covenant was that all believers—not just appointed people such as prophets, kings, and priests—would one day have the Holy Spirit placed upon them, so they too could be witnesses and demonstrate G-D’s kingdom on earth.

    And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.

    —JOEL 2:28–29, KJV

    G-D gave Moses the Torah (G-D’s written precepts, commandments, and instruction) to guide Israel in the covenant He had forged with them. The rabbis have deduced to the best of their corporate ability 613 different commandments. These were to be followed in blind obedience—no questions asked! If a person sinned
