Meditate on these phrases from verses 19 and 41.

I will break down your pride of power…

If their uncircumcised heart becomes humbled…

God wanted there to be no doubt about His view of sin and disobedience. He called these things disobedience: rejecting His statutes, abhorring His ordinances, and acting with hostility against Him (vs. 15, 21, 23, 27). He also declared the consequences of disobeying Him: “I will act with wrathful hostility against you, and I, even I, will punish you seven times for your sins. My soul shall abhor you” (vs. 28, 30).

Amazingly, in the midst of His abhorrence for sin, God provided a way of escape for the sinner.

If they confess their iniquity and the iniquity of their forefathers,

 in their unfaithfulness which they committed against Me,

 and also in their acting with hostility against Me—

If their uncircumcised heart becomes humbled

so that they then make amends for their iniquity,

 then I will remember My covenant…

I will not reject them, nor will I so abhor them as to destroy them,

breaking My covenant with them; for I am the LORD their God.

—Leviticus 26:40, 41b-42a, 44b

Do not be tempted to trivialize sin; instead confess it.  Then pray Leviticus 26:3, 19, and 41 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“LORD, help _______ and me to walk in Your statutes

 and keep Your commandments so as to carry them out. 

Break down our pride of power and humble our uncircumcised hearts.

For You are the LORD our God, Jesus~”

Leviticus 25 - Praying God's Word

Please read Leviticus 25.

www.blueletterbible.org/nasb/lev/25/1/s_115001

Meditate on this phrase from verse 21.

I will so order My blessing for you…

The LORD knows the importance of rest. He created the heavens, earth, seas, and everything they contain in six days. On the seventh day He rested, making it a sabbath day (Exodus 20:11). God also made sabbath years. He commanded that after producing crops for six years, the land have a year of rest (vs. 1-7). The LORD instituted the jubilee year. After seven sabbaths of years passed, that is 49 years, the fiftieth year was declared as a year of jubilee (v. 8). During the year of jubilee, land was returned to its original owner and slaves redeemed and set free.

As a Christian, you are always living in the year of jubilee. You were a slave to sin, and Christ redeemed you and set you free to live in Him.

In Him (Jesus), we have redemption through His blood,

the forgiveness of our trespasses,

according to the riches of His grace which He lavished on us.

—Ephesians 1:7-8a

Does your life reflect the LORD’s jubilee?  Live for others to want Christ’s redemption of their lives, so they can enter their year of jubilee.

Pray Leviticus 25:21, 48, and 55 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“LORD, so order Your blessing for _______ and me.

You redeemed us; thank You!  Please redeem _________.

We are Your servants, whom You brought out from the land of sin.

 You are the LORD our God, Jesus~”

Leviticus 24 - Praying God's Word

Please read Leviticus 24.

www.blueletterbible.org/nasb/lev/24/1/s_114001

Meditate on verse 11a.

The son of the Israelite woman blasphemed the Name and cursed.

Leviticus reveals God’s heart and expectations.  His expectations from Leviticus 24 are:

·      Provide oil, so the lamp burns continually (v. 2).

·      Present the bread before the LORD continually (vs. 5-8).

·      Protect the Name of the LORD and protect life (vs. 10-23).

Are you living up to God’s expectations? 

Jesus, the Light of the world, calls you “the light of the world” (John 9:5; Matthew 5:14).  Jesus is the bread of life (John 6:35, 48, 51).  His name is “above every name” (Philippians 2:9).  Jesus gave up His life, so you can have His eternal life (Matthew 20:28; John 10:28).

Ponder these truths, and let your light shine before others, presenting the Bread of Life so they will want to consume rather than reject Him.  Give life so others will become open to know the Giver of eternal life.

Pray Leviticus 24:2, 4, 9, 11, and 17-18 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“LORD, keep the lamps of ________ and me in order

and let them burn continually before You.

Thank You for letting us eat Your Bread. 

You are our portion forever!

May we never curse and blaspheme Your Name.

May we protect life rather than take it.

Because of You, Jesus~”

Meditate on verses 2b.

The LORD’s appointed times which you

shall proclaim as holy convocations—

My appointed times are these:

The LORD gave details for eight holy convocations (sacred assemblies).   Just like Christ fulfilled every aspect of the tabernacle and the sacrificial system, He has and will fulfill these holy convocations. 

·       The Sabbath rest – Jesus is your Sabbath rest (Hebrews 4:7-11).

·       The LORD’s Passover – Jesus died on Passover, and He is your Passover (1 Corinthians 5:7).  

·       Feast of Unleavened Bread – This feast began the day after Christ’s crucifixion.  His sacrifice removes the leaven (sin) in your life (1 Corinthians 5:8). 

·       Feast of First Fruits – Christ rose from the dead on this feast day.  He is the First Fruit raised from the dead (1 Corinthians 15:20). 

·       Feast of Weeks (Pentecost) – Fifty days after His resurrection, Jesus gave His Spirit to believers on this day, and 3,000 people were added to His church. The church is the new grain offering (Acts 2:1-47). 


·       Feast of Trumpets – Jesus will fulfill this feast when He returns with the sounding of God’s trumpet (1 Thessalonians 4:16).

·       Day of Atonement – Your Day of Atonement is when you make Jesus the sacrifice for your sins. It will come for Israel when they accept Jesus as their atoning sacrifice (Romans 11:25-29). 


·       Feast of Booths (Tabernacles) – The kingdom of the world will become the Kingdom of Christ, and He will tabernacle with you forever (Revelation 7:15; 11:15; 21:1-4). Glory!

Pray Leviticus 23:4 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“LORD, You have appointed times for holy convocations.

LORD, let _______ and me not miss any of Your appointed times. 

May we proclaim to others Your times appointed for them.

In Your name, Jesus~”

Leviticus 22 - Praying God's Word

Please read Leviticus 22.

www.blueletterbible.org/nasb/lev/22/1/s_112001

Meditate on verses 2 and 4.

Tell Aaron and his sons to be careful with the holy gifts of the sons of Israel,

which they dedicate to Me, so as not to profane My holy name; I am the LORD.

No man of the descendants of Aaron…may eat of the holy gifts until he is clean…

Only priests were allowed to eat from the sacrifices, “the holy gifts” (v. 4), and they had to be clean before being allowed to eat. An unclean priest first bathed then ate of the holy (vs. 6-7).

Let these Old Testament insights be illuminated by the Light of New Testament understanding:

·      Jesus is the Holy Gift, the Holy One of God (John 4:10; 6:69).

·      Jesus washes you clean (John 13:8).

·      In Christ, you are a priest offering spiritual sacrifices to God (1 Peter 2:5).

·      As God’s priest, you eat the Holy (John 6:53-56).

While they were eating, Jesus took some bread, and after a blessing,

 He broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, “Take, eat; this is My body.”

—Matthew 26:26

Pray Leviticus 22:31-33 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“LORD, help _______ and me keep Your commandments and do them.

You are the LORD.  Do not let us profane Your holy name. 

Let us sanctify (reverence and honor) You among the people. 

You are the LORD who sanctifies (purifies and cleanses) us. 

Thank You for bringing us out of the land of slavery to be our God. 

Because You are LORD, Jesus~”

Leviticus 21 - Praying God's Word

Please read Leviticus 21.

www.blueletterbible.org/nasb/lev/21/1/s_111001

Meditate on verse 12.

Nor shall he go out of the sanctuary nor

profane the sanctuary of his God,

 for the consecration of the anointing oil of his

God is on him; I am the LORD.

The priests were anointed and consecrated (set apart) by God to work in His sanctuary, presenting offerings on behalf of the people. Such a high calling required stringent rules for maintaining purity and holiness among those who served in God’s presence.

As a Christian, the LORD consecrated you to be a priest and a sanctuary.

He (Jesus) has made us to be a kingdom, priests to His God and Father.

—Revelation 1:6a

Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you,

whom you have from God, and that you are not your own? 

For you have been bought with a price; therefore, glorify God in your body.

—1 Corinthians 6:19-20

The life of Jesus paid for you to be both God’s priest and His sanctuary, housing His glory. How precious you are to be bought with the blood of the One of eternal value! Let Christ’s holiness and purity be evident by the way you glorify God in your body.

Pray Leviticus 21:12 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“LORD, do not let _________ and me go out

 from Your sanctuary (Your presence)

 nor profane Your sanctuary (our bodies),

 for the consecration of Your anointing oil is on us. 

You are the LORD, and

 You bought us with Your life, LORD Jesus~”

Leviticus 20 - Praying God's Word

Please read Leviticus 20.

www.blueletterbible.org/nasb/lev/20/1/s_110001

Meditate on verse 26.

Thus you are to be holy to Me, for I the LORD am holy;

and I have set you apart from the peoples to be Mine.

Leviticus gives a vivid picture of God’s heart and mind. He abhors child sacrifice, sexual immorality, disrespect of parents ... God hates sin ... but He loves people. He loves people so much He created a sacrificial system to remove sin, making it possible for people to belong to Him.

Christ’s death on the cross was the culmination of sacrifices for sin. His death forever satisfied the need for sacrifice. Jesus, as payment for your sins, was so costly and so complete that your faith in Him sets you apart to belong to God forever. As you grow in that eternal relationship, you will want to do things that please the LORD. Pleasing Him is so wonderful you will find you no longer desire things which He abhors.

Now those who belong to Christ Jesus

have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

—Galatians 5:24

Heed God’s words and warnings from Leviticus 20 and pray verses 7-8, 23, and 25-26 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“LORD, consecrate _______ and me. 

Make us holy, for You are the LORD our God.

Help us keep Your statutes and practice them.

Sanctify us, LORD!

May we not follow the customs of our nation, which You abhor. 

Let us make a distinction between the clean and the unclean. 

LORD, make us holy because You are holy,

and You have set us apart to be Yours.

Because of You, Jesus~”
