God Wants to Collaborate With Us to Bless His Children

The Lord said to Moses: Tell Aaron and his sons, This is how you are to bless the Israelites (Numbers 6:22).

God wants to bless his people, but he asks Aaron and his sons to exercise the spiritual authority he has delegated to them as high priests.

Aaron was not to ask God to bless the people; he was to bless them himself. God respects the authorities he has established. This principle still applies to us today, except that every child of God serves as an ambassador for God. We have the power to pray in the name of Jesus. (2Cor 5:20; Mk 11:24).

The fact that you consider your role decisive is essential. Your prayer does not change God's will or create the divine resources necessary for its fulfillment.

God expresses His will in his promises. Jesus' death on the cross accomplished God's will. Our role, as ambassadors, is to release what He has given us.

All God's promises are 'yes' in Jesus Christ (2Cor 1:20). This means they are already spiritually fulfilled. True faith is not just spiritual fulfillment but triggers the manifestation of that fulfillment.

Imagine that God's promises for Ted's life are held in liquid form in a balloon suspended in the air over his head. The fact that this balloon is over his head represents God's will to bless him. The fact that it is filled represents the abundance of the blessings made available through Jesus' work(Eph 1:3). Piercing this balloon will release the contents, allowing Ted to receive the blessing.

From a spiritual point of view, God reveals his will for Ted through his Word and what the Holy Spirit communicates to him. But it is our prayer that unleashes the blessing. The "amen" that we pronounce to God in the name of Jesus is like an arrow that pierces the balloon and releases its contents.

Amen means "so be it." It is not a request, but a word of authority. When Jesus taught the disciples how to pray, He gave them this example: "Our Father in heaven! Hallowed be Your name; Thy kingdom comes; Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. "

When we say, "Thy will be done," we are collaborating with the Father to bring heaven down to earth. The blessing in Numbers 6 is based on the same idea. Aaron was to proclaim God's blessing on the people by declaring the prayer we are now singing. Next time you sing it, do it with the authority Jesus has given you!
