The Blessing

"I lay My loving Hands on you in blessing. Wait in love and longing to feel their tender pressure and, as you wait, courage and hope will flow into your being, irradiating (to make something brighter by shining light onto it) all your lives with the warm sun of My Presence." God Calling - by A.J. Russell - April 6

Blessing = the infusion (the act of installing a quality into a person) of something with holiness, with divine will (Wikipedia).

Bow your head and hear the voice of God; "I lay My loving Hands on you in blessing. Wait in love and longing to feel their tender pressure upon you. And as you wait, feel the warmth of My Son's presence saturate you with His hope and courage. Be still My child and experience the tender pressure of My loving hands and the invigorating warmth of my presence as I bless you, as I infuse My holiness and My divine will into your spirit."

Have you ever wanted to "feel" the tender pressure of God's presence? I was touched deeply when I read the introductory sentence, "I lay My loving Hands on you in blessing." I imagined a throne room and God as King, dressed in regal attire reaching out to lay His loving Hands upon my head and bless me as I knelt before Him, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. This is an incredible image, but what created a desire to rise up within me was the next sentence; "Wait in love and longing to feel their (The fingers of God) tender pressure". Is it possible to physically feel the tender pressure of God's touch? Sit with that a minute. Is it possible to physically feel the tender pressure of God's fingers on you as He blesses you? A definition for blessing is; the infusion of God's holiness, and His divine will. Infusion is defined as the act of installing a quality into a person - the quality of holiness and divine will. Is the process of the blessing one that requires a longing for the feeling of the tender pressure of His hands? The processes of infusing or installing does require some time. This experience could be compared to the restoration of a building or the installing of a new computer program. Both examples require time. The laying on of God's hands begins the act of installing holiness into us and the waiting for God's blessing creates a longing to feel the tender pressure of His Fatherly touch. What is God calling us to? Is He revealing the secret to unleashing His blessing upon His children? As His children must we understand the significance of God's blessing and then must we seek after it - longing to feel the tender pressure upon our lives as we live to serve the One and only true God? Can we ask God to lay His loving Hands on others in blessing - wishing for them the same experience of a profound touch by God? I plan to continue this conversation with God - believing that He wants to reveal the secret of unleashing His blessing upon the lives of ALL of His children.

Abba help us to understand what you want to reveal. Amen.
