Numbers 6 - Praying God's Word

 

Please read Numbers 6.  Notice the repeated words: dedicate and separate.

Meditate on verse 8.

 

All the days of his separation, he is holy to the LORD.

 

Men and women in Israel could choose to dedicate themselves to the LORD (v. 2).  This separation to God came with promises to behave in ways indicative of being holy and belonging to Him.

 

Ask the LORD to convict you of areas where you need to separate yourself from the ways of the world and dedicate yourself to God, for this Old Testament passage addressing holiness is applied to New Testament believers.

 

Do not be bound together with unbelievers; for

 what partnership have righteousness and lawlessness,

or what fellowship has light with darkness?

 Or what harmony has Christ with Belial (Satan),

or what has a believer in common with an unbeliever?

 Or what agreement has the temple of God

with idols? For we are the temple of the living

 God; just as God said, "I WILL DWELL IN THEM AND

WALK AMONG THEM; AND I WILL BE THEIR GOD, AND

THEY SHALL BE MY PEOPLE.  Therefore, COME OUT FROM THEIR

MIDST AND BE SEPARATE," says the LORD.

 "AND DO NOT TOUCH WHAT IS UNCLEAN; And

 I will welcome you.  And I will be a Father to you, and you shall

 be sons and daughters to Me," says the LORD Almighty.

2 Corinthians 6:14-18

 

Pray Numbers 6:8 and 24-27 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

 

“LORD, keep ___________ and me separate and holy

 to You all our days.  LORD, bless us and keep us.

 LORD, make Your face shine on us and be gracious

to us.  LORD, lift up Your countenance on us and give

 us peace.  LORD, put Your name on us and bless us.

Because of Your name, Jesus~”
