PUTTING ON THE LIVING WORD



"Exercise your superpowers on earth given to you by God."

We are powerful children of God and called to bless as royal PRIESTS. Bible says in Revelation 5:10:

“…And have made us to our God kings and PRIESTS: and we shall reign on the earth.”
Our Lord has made us kings and PRIESTS to serve God and reign on earth. 

We are empowered to bless which is the function of the PRIEST. We see in Numbers 6:22-27, The Lord instructed Moses to teach Aaron, the PRIEST, and his sons how to bless.

The Lord said to Moses,  “Tell Aaron and his sons, ‘This is how you are to bless the Israelites. Say to them:
 “‘“The Lord bless you
    and keep you;
 the Lord make his face shine on you
    and be gracious to you;
the Lord turn his face toward you
    and give you peace.”’
“So they will put my NAME on the Israelites, and I will bless them.”

God says that He will put His NAME on the chosen.

Furthermore, the scriptures encourage us to put on Christ

We are empowered to bless

.
“BUT PUT ON THE LORD JESUS CHRIST,…” (Romans 13:14)

Christ is the Word as mentioned in John 1:1

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.  He was in the beginning with God.”

The word is ALIVE and ACTIVE (Hebrews 4:12). Therefore Christ is the Living Word and if we put on the Living Word we shall experience life.

You can “pray” scriptures and you can also “bless” scriptures.  

 For example take the scripture Psalm 23:6:

Surely goodness and lovingkindness will follow me all the days of my life,”
 
One can say to their loved one, “May goodness and lovingkindness follow you today.” This is a blessing and the loved one can walk out knowing that they are highly favored and they are putting on "goodness" and "lovingkindness." They are putting on the Living Word (Christ) which is ALIVE and ACTIVE.

When you bless someone using scriptures you are ushering Christ, the Living Word to cloth them. You are clothing them with Christ therefore they will see life and victory in whatever situation they are facing. To be adorned with Christ, whose NAME is above every name ensures a powerful life, heaven on earth.

 I encourage you to have a culture of blessing and expect the word to become flesh in your domain. The heavens will be opened as you put on Christ, by blessing yourself and one another. You are empowered to bless as a royal priest of God.

Be filled with joy
