Prayers of Renunciation: OLD/NEW APOSTOLIC CHURCH
Ephesians 6:10-12 “10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11 Put on the whole armour of GOD, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we wrestle not against lesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” Amanda Buys’ Spiritual Covering

3 Preface
These prayers have been written according to personal opinions and convictions, which are gathered from many counseling sessions and our interpretation of the Word of GOD, the Bible.
In no way have these prayers been written to discriminate against any persons, churches, organizations, and/or political parties. We ask therefore that you handle this book in the same manner.
What does it mean to renounce something?
To renounce means to speak of one’s self. If something has been renounced it has been rejected, cut off, or the individual is refusing to follow or obey. Other words that fit with the subject of renunciations include refuse, repudiate, and resist. It is a joy to realize that by the act of our repentance, we can appropriate the finished work of Messiah Y’shua (Jesus). His shed Blood reverses all curses.
Scripture says:
Proverbs 28:13 “13 He who covers his transgressions will not prosper, but whoever confesses and forsakes his sins will obtain mercy.”
We have seen the effect in so many people’s lives of confessing, repenting, and turning away from the idolatry and demonic covenants that have permeated their very existence, unbeknown to them. The fact that this exists is truly an evil demonic plot against the Body of Messiah.
2 Corinthians 4:2 “2 We have renounced disgraceful ways (secret thoughts, feelings, desires and underhandedness, the methods and arts that men hide through shame); we refuse to deal cra ily (to prac ce trickery and cunning) or to adulterate or handle dishonestly the Word of GOD, but we state the truth openly (clearly and candidly). And so we commend ourselves in the sight and presence of GOD to every man’s conscience.”
Y’shua (Jesus) calls us to be actively engaged seeking freedom and wholeness, no matter what our life experiences.
GOD’s Word gives us a promise:
Isaiah 54:17 “17 But no weapon that is formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue that shall rise against you in judgment you shall show to be in the wrong. This [peace, righteousness, security, triumph over opposi on] is the heritage of the servants of the LORD [those in whom the ideal Servant of the LORD is reproduced]; this is the righteousness or the vindica on which they obtain from Me [this is that which I impart to them as their jus fica on], says the LORD.”
4 Guidelines for using the prayers of renunciation …
The Book of James highlights very clearly for us that there is a two-fold step in order to be released from all bondages.
James 4:7 “7 So be subject to GOD. Resist the devil [stand firm against him], and he will flee from you.”
The two-legged renunciation of occultic involvement is:
1. Confession of involvement.
To confess involvement, the prayer is read out loud, preferably with one or more witnesses present, as well as with a trained counselor. The reason for this is so that the individual will have a memorial of remembrance of the renunciation prayer. These prayers are similar to proclamations … as such we encourage you to declare them boldly and in faith, covered by the Blood of Messiah Y’shua (Jesus).
James 5:16 “16 Confess to one another therefore your faults (your slips, your false steps, your offenses, your sins) and pray [also] for one another, that you may be healed and restored [to a spiritual tone of mind and heart]. The earnest (hear elt, con nued) prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available [dynamic in its working].”
Only half of the renunciation process has been completed at this stage. The next part is very important. This is where the counselor is essential.
2. Warfare … resist the enemy.
The counselor now comes in agreement with the individual and conducts spiritual warfare against the kingdom of darkness as the Holy Spirit leads to deal with each one of the elements that is contained in the prayer.
In writing these prayers, we have tried to highlight or bold certain key words — such as the powers of darkness involved and the effects of involvement — that we feel are important, and which need to be specially addressed.
The powers are rebuked, bound, uprooted from the bloodline, and commanded to become a footstool to the Messiah Y’shua (Jesus). Remember to also cut the individual loose from the man-made laws and institutions of the organization/s involved.
These prayers are however only a guideline.
If there are concepts or sections that the Holy Spirit highlights for you as you pray, then we encourage you to address these, and ask the Holy Spirit to direct you on how to bring the breakthrough.
5 Remember, He is our Perfect Teacher and Counselor!
Psalm 110:1 “THE LORD (GOD) says to my Lord (the Messiah), Sit at My right hand, un l I make Your adversaries Your footstool. [Ma . 26:64; Acts 2:34; I Cor. 15:25; Col. 3:1; Heb. 12:2.]”
Hebrews 1:13, 10:13 “13 Besides, to which of the angels has He ever said, Sit at My right hand [associated with Me in My royal dignity] ll I make your enemies a stool for your feet? [Ps. 110:1.] 13 Then to wait un l His enemies should be made a stool beneath His feet. [Ps. 110:1.]” 3. Restoration with the Kingdom of GOD.
Finally, the individual must choose to submit under the Law of Messiah Y’shua (Jesus).
Gala ans 3:10 “10 And all who depend on the Law [who are seeking to be jus fied by obedience to the Law of rituals] are under a curse and doomed to disappointment and destruc on, for it is wri en in the Scriptures, Cursed (accursed, devoted to destruc on, doomed to eternal punishment) be everyone who does not con nue to abide (live and remain) by all the precepts and commands wri en in the Book of the Law and to prac ce them.”
In conclusion, we leave you with the blessing commanded by the FATHER … May He be your Shield, your Light, and Shalom (Peace). May He grant you the victory in all things, that you may learn of His Ways, and SH’MA1 (hear and do).
Blessings!

6 Declaration2 of CONFIDENCE in GOD’s Protection
No weapon that is formed against us shall prosper and every tongue, which rises against us in judgment, we do condemn. This is our heritage as servants of the LORD, and our righteousness is from You, O LORD of Hosts. If there are those who have been speaking or praying against us, or seeking harm or evil to us, or who have rejected us, we forgive them and, having forgiven them, we bless them in the Name of the LORD
Ma hew 5:43-45 “43 You have heard that it was said, You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy; 44 But I tell you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 To show that you are the children of your FATHER Who is in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the wicked and on the good, and makes the rain fall upon the upright and the wrongdoers [alike].”
Romans 12:14 “14 Bless those who persecute you [who are cruel in their a tude toward you]; bless and do not curse them.”
Now we declare, O LORD, that You and You alone are our GOD, and besides You there is no other — a just GOD and Saviour, the FATHER, the Son and the Spirit — and we worship You!
We submit ourselves afresh to You this day in unreserved obedience. Having submitted to You, LORD, we do as Your Word directs. We resist the devil — all his pressures, his attacks, and his deceptions, every instrument or agent he would seek to use against us. We do not submit! We resist him, drive him from us and exclude him from us in the Name of Y’shua (Jesus). Specifically, we reject and repel infirmity, pain, infection, inflammation, malignancies, allergies, viruses and every form of witchcraft.
Finally, LORD, we thank You that through the sacrifice of Y’shua (Jesus) on the cross, we have passed out from under the curse and entered into the blessing of Abraham, whom You blessed in all things — exaltation, health, reproduction, prosperity, victory and GOD’s Favour.
Gala ans 3:13-14 “13 Christ purchased our freedom [redeeming us] from the curse (doom) of the Law [and its condemna on] by [Himself] becoming a curse for us, for it is wri en [in the Scriptures], Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree (is crucified); 14 To the end that through [their receiving] Christ Jesus, the blessing [promised] to Abraham might come upon the Gen les, so that we through faith might [all] receive [the realiza on of] the promise of the [Holy] Spirit.”
AMEN!

7 Sealing-Off Prayer BEFORE Deliverance
Dear Heavenly FATHER, we come to You in the Name of Messiah Y’shua3 (Jesus Christ) of Nazareth. We thank You that You are GOD Almighty and that You are The Great I AM.
We thank You that You have given us the Holy Spirit to be the Counsellor, Standby, Advocate, Teacher, the Deliverer.
We thank You for Your Presence and for Your Deliverance Anointing — it is the Anointing that will break the yoke.
Come and fill us with Your Spirit, Compassion, Love, Discernment, Word of Knowledge, Wisdom, Interpretation, and Insight.
We as Your children choose to crucify the flesh so that nothing from ourselves will be transferred here. We clothe ourselves with Your Priestly Garments to fulfill the calling You have upon our lives. Open our spiritual eyes and ears FATHER.
Thank You FATHER, that You have given us all the power over the enemy and that nothing shall in any way harm us.
Luke 10: 19 “19 Behold! I have given you authority and power to trample upon serpents and scorpions, and [physical and mental strength and ability] over all the power that the enemy [possesses]; and nothing shall in any way harm you.”
We forbid any interference with the work of the Holy Spirit.
FATHER, we come against any communication lines (according to Ephesians 6:12) between, the powers, world-rulers, principalities, spiritual hosts, and demonic hosts in the air, earth, heavenlies, and under the earth. We close off all entrances and exits, in the Name of Messiah Y’shua (Jesus Christ).
3 Y’shua (Hebrew) is Jesus’ real name, which means “Salva on”. We have no problem with the name “Jesus” — it is merely the Greek translitera on of “Y’shua”. Jesus is the name most of us grew up with. Remember though, Y’shua was a Jew, of the Tribe of Judah, not a Greek. It’s sort of like this … when you come to know someone’s real name, you want to use it, hence the use of Y’shua instead of Jesus. Another powerful reason to use Y’shua is that every me you say His Name, you are proclaiming “Salva on”. You will also note in some places, we have used the real Name of the FATHER, YHVH. The Name is made up of the Hebrew le ers, Yod-Hey-Vav-Hey, and is most commonly pronounced “Yahweh” or “Jehovah”. Again, we have chosen to use this, as YHVH is the FATHER’s Name.
8 We ask that all spiritual cameras and recorders be smashed in Name of Messiah Y’shua (Jesus Christ). We come against any witches, witch doctors, magicians, and wizards in the Name of Messiah Y’shua (Jesus Christ). We cut off all communication with satan himself and close the doors in the Name of Messiah Y’shua (Jesus Christ).
We forbid any spirit from the outside to enter this place for whatever reason, and we forbid any evil spirit to be sent to any other place or person as a result of what happens here.
We now forbid any reinforcement of power from the side of satan in the Name of Messiah Y’shua (Jesus Christ). FATHER, we ask for confusion into the enemy’s camp.
FATHER we ask You to set up Your warring angels in this room and arrest any human spirit, dead human spirit, spirit guide, familiar spirit … and remove them to become the footstool of our King Messiah Y’shua (Jesus Christ).
We bind every evil spirit in this place and forbid any violence, manifestations, and tormenting in the Name of Messiah Y’shua (Jesus Christ).
We refuse any meditation circles — isolate any power of demonic forces from each other in the Name of Messiah Y’shua (Jesus Christ).
We forbid and bind any hypnosis and self-hypnosis, meditation, physic powers in the Name of Messiah Y’shua (Jesus Christ) of Nazareth. We isolate the powers one from another in Name of Messiah Y’shua (Jesus Christ).
We cleanse the four elements — water, air, fire, and earth — with the Blood of Name of Messiah Y’shua (Jesus Christ).
We ask You, FATHER, to cover all mirrors with Your Blood and seal off the gateways in Name of Messiah Y’shua (Jesus Christ).
We come against any spells, rituals, incantations, hexes, sacrifices, curses, or altars raised up against us and the person.
Thank You that You blow out all candles which may have been lit in rituals against us in Name of Messiah Y’shua (Jesus Christ). Thank You that all curses are reversed into blessings.
FATHER, we ask that You seal off this room with Your Precious Blood, that You will hide us in the Spirit and declare this room as holy ground.
FATHER, we ask You to send Your ministering angels to come and minister to us in Name of Messiah Y’shua (Jesus Christ) according to:
9 Hebrews 1:14 “14 Are not the angels all ministering spirits (servants) sent out in the service [of GOD for the assistance] of those who are to inherit salva on?”
We surrender to You, Holy Spirit of GOD, because we know that it is not by might, nor by power, but by Your Spirit (Zechariah 4:6) says the FATHER!
We ask that You cover our loved ones and we place all circumstances under Your Control and Protection (our finances, marriages, relationships, ministries). We now bind satan’s kingdom here on earth just as it is bound in heaven.
We ask You FATHER to prepare the heavenly courtroom and that all the demons and familiar spirits come and take their places.
We ask You FATHER to be the Judge, Y’shua (Jesus) the Advocate, and the Holy Spirit the Witness.
Thank You for Your Word:
Revela on 12:11 “11 And they have overcome (conquered) him by means of the blood of the Lamb and by the u erance of their tes mony, for they did not love and cling to life even when faced with death [holding their lives cheap ll they had to die for their witnessing].”
… we have overcome the enemy by the Blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony!
In the Name of Messiah Y’shua (Jesus),
AMEN!
10 Statutes and sequence of offices in the Old and New Apostolic Church ...
11 Please note how the Scriptures are used every time to justify their statements of faith. This is so clearly described in:
2 Peter 2:16-18 “16 Speaking of this as he does in all of his le ers. There are some things in those [epistles of Paul] that are difficult to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist and misconstrue to their own u er destruc on, just as [they distort and misinterpret] the rest of the Scriptures. 17 Let me warn you therefore, beloved, that knowing these things beforehand, you should be on your guard, lest you be carried away by the error of lawless and wicked [persons and] fall from your own [present] firm condi on [your own steadfastness of mind]. 18 But grow in grace (undeserved favor, spiritual strength) and recogni on and knowledge and understanding of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (the Messiah). To Him [be] glory (honor, majesty, and splendor) both now and to the day of eternity. Amen (so be it)!
The Apostle
Gala ans 1:1 “1 PAUL, AN apostle—[special messenger appointed and commissioned and sent out] not from [any body of] men nor by or through any man, but by and through Jesus Christ (the Messiah) and God the Father, Who raised Him from among the dead—“
Ma hew 9:9 “9 As Jesus passed on from there, He saw a man named Ma hew si ng at the tax collector’s office; and He said to him, Be My disciple [side with My party and follow Me]. And he rose and followed Him.”
2 Timothy 1:11 “11 For [the proclaiming of] this [Gospel] I was appointed a herald (preacher) and an apostle (special messenger) and a teacher of the Gen les.”
2 Peter 1:1 “1 SIMON PETER, a servant and apostle (special messenger) of Jesus Christ, to those who have received (obtained an equal privilege of) like precious faith with ourselves in and through the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ:”
The church determines through dreams and prophecies who will be the Apostle and then he will be prepared from a young age for the office.
Acts 8:18 “18 However, when Simon saw that the [Holy] Spirit was imparted through the laying on of the apostles’ hands, he brought money and offered it to them,”
They believe that only the Apostle may bless people with the Holy Spirit. He also tells the person, “receive the Holy Spirit”, but nothing happens to the person.
The Apostle determines the teaching of the month and decides whether it must continue for a longer period. (It can happen that the teaching will be about the same Scripture and text for a year). He determines the Scripture according to the “dreams” he receives from the community and believes that it comes from God”.
12 The Apostle has the power to curse a person who breaks the law of the Old Apostolic church and damn him to hell when he dies.
Ma hew 16:19 “19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind (declare to be improper and unlawful) on earth must be what is already bound in heaven; and whatever you loose (declare lawful) on earth must be what is already loosed in heaven.”
Revela on 1:18 “18 And the Ever-living One [I am living in the eternity of the eterni es]. I died, but see, I am alive forevermore; and I possess the keys of death and Hades (the realm of the dead).”
The Apostle has the “Keys of the Kingdom” to the realm of death. He has the power to actually unlock the realm of death every year and to send the souls who had concluded their service on earth to the place of everlasting rest and lock the realm of death after two hours.
If a person is terminally ill, the Apostle may send him/her out of their body, because he has the power to do so.
The Apostle is fully empowered to relieve a person from his office. Even if this person has been (according to him) appointed by God, he may no longer serve in the office.
No member of the congregation may contact or see the Apostle without his consent because he is “holy” and people might contaminate or hinder him. The Apostle has the power to forgive sins.
Ma hew 6:14-15 “14 For if you forgive people their trespasses [their reckless and willful sins, leaving them, le ng them go, and giving up resentment], your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15 But if you do not forgive others their trespasses [their reckless and willful sins, leaving them, le ng them go, and giving up resentment], neither will your Father forgive you your trespasses.”
The Apostle has the power to give all officials consent at Holy Communion to forgive the people the sins that they committed during the month. The Prophet
Numbers 12:6 “6 And He said, Hear now My words: If there is a prophet among you, I the Lord make Myself known to him in a vision and speak to him in a dream.”
2 Kings 17:13 “13 Yet the Lord warned Israel and Judah through all the prophets and all the seers, saying, Turn from your evil ways and keep My commandments and My statutes, according to all the Law which I commanded your fathers and which I sent to you by My servants the prophets.”
13 Ma hew 10:41 “41 He who receives and welcomes and accepts a prophet because he is a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward, and he who receives and welcomes and accepts a righteous man because he is a righteous man shall receive a righteous man’s reward.”
Luke 1:76 “76 And you, li le one, shall be called a prophet of the Most High; for you shall go on before the face of the Lord to make ready His ways,”
The Prophet has, according to prophecies which were given, been placed in his office to help the Apostle with the serving and building of the community.
Micah 3:11 “11 Its heads judge for reward and a bribe and its priests teach for hire and its prophets divine for money; yet they lean on the Lord and say, Is not the Lord among us? No evil can come upon us.”
The Prophet receives the teaching from the Apostle and then he has to give the other officials under him the monthly teaching and train them in the teaching which they must give.
Amos 3:7 “7 Surely the Lord God will do nothing without revealing His secret to His servants the prophets.”
The Prophet prophesies by using the prophecies and visions given to him by members of the congregation. Then he pronounces “it comes from God” because the community is the Body of Christ.
When officials have marriage problems the Prophet has to sort them out. The woman is then told to listen to her husband and do what he tells her to do, because “he is the head of the house and what he says is law”. The Prophet then reports to the Apostle. The Overseer
1 Timothy 3:2 “2 Now a bishop (superintendent, overseer) must give no grounds for accusa on but must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, circumspect and temperate and self-controlled; [he must be] sensible and well behaved and dignified and lead an orderly (disciplined) life; [he must be] hospitable [showing love for and being a friend to the believers, especially strangers or foreigners, and be] a capable and qualified teacher,”
1 Peter 2:25 “25 For you were going astray like [so many] sheep, but now you have come back to the Shepherd and Guardian (the Bishop) of your souls.”
The Overseer is responsible for the souls of the congregation. He is supposed to oversee those who have problems.
Acts 20:28 “28 Take care and be on guard for yourselves and the whole flock over which the Holy Spirit has appointed you bishops and guardians, to shepherd (tend and feed and guide) the church of the Lord or of God which He obtained for Himself [buying it and saving it for Himself] with His own blood.”
14 The Overseer is not appointed by the Holy Spirit, but through dreams of people. His office is that of Shepherd and Overseer, who must look after the souls, berate them and build them up.
Titus 1:7 “7 For the bishop (an overseer) as God’s steward must be blameless, not self-willed or arrogant or presumptuous; he must not be quick-tempered or given to drink or pugnacious (brawling, violent); he must not be grasping and greedy for filthy lucre (financial gain);”
He must report to the Apostle with regards to the souls. He is not always heedful and fair; when souls leave the church he listens to the Elder and the Priest and reports according to their word instead of asking the member himself the reason for leaving. The Evangelist
Ephesians 4:11 “11 And His gi s were [varied; He Himself appointed and gave men to us] some to be apostles (special messengers), some prophets (inspired preachers and expounders), some evangelists (preachers of the Gospel, traveling missionaries), some pastors (shepherds of His flock) and teachers.”
2 Timothy 4:5 “5 As for you, be calm and cool and steady, accept and suffer unflinchingly every hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fully perform all the du es of your ministry.”
Acts 6:5 “5 And the sugges on pleased the whole assembly, and they selected Stephen, a man full of faith (a strong and welcome belief that Jesus is the Messiah) and full of and controlled by the Holy Spirit, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolaus, a proselyte (convert) from An och.”
Acts 8:26-40 “26 But an angel of the Lord said to Philip, Rise and proceed southward or at midday on the road that runs from Jerusalem down to Gaza. This is the desert [route]. 27 So he got up and went. And behold, an Ethiopian, a eunuch of great authority under Candace the queen of the Ethiopians, who was in charge of all her treasure, had come to Jerusalem to worship. 28 And he was [now] returning, and si ng in his chariot he was reading the book of the prophet Isaiah. 29 Then the [Holy] Spirit said to Philip, Go forward and join yourself to this chariot. 30 Accordingly Philip, running up to him, heard [the man] reading the prophet Isaiah and asked, Do you really understand what you are reading? 31 And he said, How is it possible for me to do so unless someone explains it to me and guides me [in the right way]? And he earnestly requested Philip to come up and sit beside him. 32 Now this was the passage of Scripture which he was reading: Like a sheep He was led to the slaughter, and as a lamb before its shearer is dumb, so He opens not His mouth. 33 In His humilia on He was taken away by distressing and oppressive judgment and jus ce was denied Him [caused to cease]. Who can describe or relate in full the wickedness of His contemporaries (genera on)? For His life is taken from the earth and a bloody death inflicted upon Him. 34 And the eunuch said to Philip, I beg of you, tell me about whom does the prophet say this, about himself or about someone else? 35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and beginning with this por on of Scripture he announced to him the glad dings (Gospel) of Jesus and about Him. 36 And as they con nued along on the way, they came to some water, and the eunuch exclaimed, See, [here is] water! What is to hinder my being bap zed?”
15 “37 And Philip said, If you believe with all your heart [if you have a convic on, full of joyful trust, that Jesus is the Messiah and accept Him as the Author of your salva on in the kingdom of God, giving Him your obedience, then] you may. And he replied, I do believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. 38 And he ordered that the chariot be stopped; and both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water, and [Philip] bap zed him. 39 And when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord [suddenly] caught away Philip; and the eunuch saw him no more, and he went on his way rejoicing. 40 But Philip was found at Azotus, and passing on he preached the good news (Gospel) to all the towns un l he reached Caesarea.”
Acts 21:8 “8 On the morrow we le there and came to Caesarea; and we went into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the Seven [first deacons], and stayed with him.”
The Evangelist is also placed in his post by the dreams of people and he is instructed through the Apostle to explain “the gospel” to the church members.
The Evangelist is responsible to explain and clarify the gospel to those who do not understand it.
The Evangelist receives all the dreams and visions which are related to Scripture. Although these dreams and visions come from the people, they are purported to come directly from God. The Elder
According to the Old / New Apostolic Faith there is no such office or position in the Bible. It is a man-ordained office.
The Elder is appointed through dreams and vision. Nowhere is there a Scripture referring to this post or making mention of such an office in the Word.
The Elder is, according to the church, responsible for preparing “anointed acts” and no medical treatment (hospitalization) is allowed without first doing “anointed acts”.
The Elder is responsible for the welfare of the congregation and has to look after members who have problems. (Unfortunately it does not happen like this – he only helps those whom he favours).
The Elder must visit newcomers to the congregation and discuss the teaching of the church. (Unfortunately all is not discussed in full and people are often left in the dark about certain matters).
If some scriptures are in conflict with the teachings of the church, then the Elder must analyze and explain them in more detail to the people, assisting them in understanding these scriptures.
16 The Priest
Luke 10:31 “31 Now by coincidence a certain priest was going down along that road, and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.”
Numbers 25:13 “13 And he shall have it, and his descendants a er him, the covenant of an everlas ng priesthood, because he was jealous for his God and made atonement for the Israelites.”
Joshua 18:7 “7 But the Levites have no por on among you, for the priesthood of the Lord is their inheritance. Gad and Reuben and half the tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance east of the Jordan, which Moses the servant of the Lord gave them.”
1 Peter 2:5-9 “5 [Come] and, like living stones, be yourselves built [into] a spiritual house, for a holy (dedicated, consecrated) priesthood, to offer up [those] spiritual sacrifices [that are] acceptable and pleasing to God through Jesus Christ. 6 For thus it stands in Scripture: Behold, I am laying in Zion a chosen (honored), precious chief Cornerstone, and he who believes in Him [who adheres to, trusts in, and relies on Him] shall never be disappointed or put to shame. 7 To you then who believe (who adhere to, trust in, and rely on Him) is the preciousness; but for those who disbelieve [it is true], The [very] Stone which the builders rejected has become the main Cornerstone, 8 And, A Stone that will cause stumbling and a Rock that will give [men] offense; they stumble because they disobey and disbelieve [God’s] Word, as those [who reject Him] were des ned (appointed) to do. 9 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a dedicated na on, [God’s] own purchased, special people, that you may set forth the wonderful deeds and display the virtues and perfec ons of Him Who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.”
Hebrews 10:11 “11 Furthermore, every [human] priest stands [at his altar of service] ministering daily, offering the same sacrifices over and over again, which never are able to strip [from every side of us] the sins [that envelop us] and take them away—“
Dreams and visions are used to place the Priest in his office as shepherd of the community.
The Priest must attend each activity during the week because only he can open the service and give the blessing afterwards.
The Priest is responsible to see that the members in his area are active and work for salvation and blessedness (soul peace).
If you do not work for salvation you cannot receive it and then the soul will have to work on earth for his salvation after his death.
The Priest has to give written permission to members to go away for a weekend or on leave, or the person will not have the blessing with him. If something happens to him on the road it means that he was there illegally.
The Priest has to give written permission to members to go to a doctor. When the member receives medication, it must be taken to the Priest for blessing.
17 The Priest must arrange “anointed acts” at a member’s request. If the Priest considers it necessary he will arrange it with the Elder for the first Sunday of the month.
The acts will then be discussed with the member. If the Elder decides that these acts are unnecessary, they are cancelled.
The Priest is responsible for Holy Communion and the christening of members. No other member may touch the utensils of Communion because it is holy. Only anointed officials may do so. The stage behind the Bible chest is a “holy place” where only officials may go.
The Priest has received the gift to understand the Word and to explain it to the members. This becomes a quiz competition, because they are the only people who are supposed to know the Word of God.
The Priest must visit members who have marriage problems. He forces them to resolve their problems because, according to him, if there is no solution, he may let one of them die, because they may not divorce. The woman must do everything the husband orders her to do.
The Priest may enter the home of a member and if there is somebody who does not belong there, that person must leave immediately. If this is not done the Priest personally chases the intruder away.
The Priest can, if a person is very ill get permission from the Apostle to serve him the last Communion and to send him out of his body to “set him free”.
The Priest is the only one who may handle dreams and visions and pass them on to the appropriate officials.
He is the only person who may give feedback to members about the meaning of dreams if it concerns them. Many of these dreams and visions are not passed on because he thinks it unnecessary.
The Priest is responsible for the preparation for accepting new members as well as the christening of new members and babies.
The Priest is the “container for blessings”, e.g. when a member is looking for work he must firstly pray with the Priest and receive blessings or he will not find work; or he will have problems at his workplace and may loose his job.
Permission must first be obtained from the Priest before any items like vechiles, houses, and so forth, may be bought.
An income and expenditure statement must be handed to the Priest so that he can assess your financial state before he will give his blessing.
18 If the Priest decides against the transaction and the member goes through with it, he will not be blessed and will be unhappy.
The Priest has the power to pray for the dead. He and his members who prophesy will go together to the family where the death occurred.
The dead person then prophesies through a person, so that he can tell his family what is needed. The Priest can then tell him whether he can enter heaven or not.
The Priest has the power to send a person the heaven or hell. This power he receives from the Apostle. The Assistant Deacon
There is no such office or position in the Bible.
The Assistant Deacon is appointed through dreams and visions.
He is “the key to the Word” and can interpret the Word for the members.
He must give permission to see the Priest.
The Assistant Deacon is the “door” through which new members must pass before they may give testimony in the church and receive full membership.
If he decides that people are not part of the 144, 000 chosen, they may not be accepted in the church. General
The officials in the church are not appointed as purported. Often nepotism plays a role. 90% of the officials are related to one another.
There have been cases where one of the higher officials slept with the wife of a member where after he is appointed.
It has also happened that an official whose wife died is forced to remarry as soon as possible and vice versa with a woman.
There have been cases where a person is given an office so that he will treat his family better even if he knows nothing about the Bible.
Once, three brothers were appointed as officials because their father occupied a high office.

The Seal
Job 14:17 “17 My transgression is sealed up in a bag, and You glue up my iniquity [to preserve it in full for the day of reckoning].”
John 6:27 “27 Stop toiling and doing and producing for the food that perishes and decomposes [in the using], but strive and work and produce rather for the [las ng] food which endures [con nually] unto life eternal; the Son of Man will give (furnish) you that, for God the Father has authorized and cer fied Him and put His seal of endorsement upon Him.”
Ephesians 1:13 “13 In Him you also who have heard the Word of Truth, the glad dings (Gospel) of your salva on, and have believed in and adhered to and relied on Him, were stamped with the seal of the long-promised Holy Spirit.”
21 Revela on 14:9 “9 Then another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a mighty voice, Whoever pays homage to the beast and his statue and permits the [beast’s] stamp (mark, inscrip on) to be put on his forehead or on his hand,”
Revela on 20:4 “4 Then I saw thrones, and si ng on them were those to whom authority to act as judges and to pass sentence was entrusted. Also I saw the souls of those who had been slain with axes [beheaded] for their witnessing to Jesus and [for preaching and tes fying] for the Word of God, and who had refused to pay homage to the beast or his statue and had not accepted his mark or permi ed it to be stamped on their foreheads or on their hands. And they lived again and ruled with Christ (the Messiah) a thousand years.”
If you do not receive the cross on your forehead, you will not receive eternal life and will be sent to damnation. (The cross on the forehead is a Catholic belief which they have accepted and apply.)
• Those who are sealed must wear a white sticker. • You are sealed as part of the “soul-bride” in the body. • You allow the Apostle to make known to you the grace and will of God. • You receive the cross on your forehead and the Apostle bestows on you the Holy Spirit. • You undertake to keep the teaching of the Apostle and to fulfill it. • You receive a “spirit of insight and clarification” by the laying of hands. • You receive the seal on your forehead as well as the curse that those who do not receive it shall go to hell. • At the reception of the cross with the sealing, God shall lock away all my unrighteousness. • The Apostle serves Communion and informs everybody that he has forgiven all their sins. • You shall keep the whole confession of faith. • You shall at all times keep the teaching of the Apostle. • The Apostle has the key to the realm of death and unlocks it as he starts the sealing service; and afterwards he locks it till the next year.
Marriage
• The marriage ceremony will only be performed it there has been dreams and prophesies about it. • If any partner is not a member of the church he/she will first have to be accepted and sealed. • Permission must be obtained from the Apostle before a marriage can take place. • On the day of the wedding the man and the woman will both receive Communion.
22 • They are informed that they may never divorce. • At the wedding it is already decided whether they will one day be placed in office. • If one of them should refuse to become a member of the church and they still get married, the marriage will be cursed and they will never be happy.
Letter Of Blessing
• Before a member leaves for a weekend or goes on leave the Priest will give him a letter of blessing. • If a person is moving house, such a letter must be procured from the Priest. • The purpose of the letter of blessing is to protect the people from any disaster or problem. • Should anything happen, they then have permission to get help from other communities of the church.
Damnation And Death Speech
• When a person leaves the church he is damned to hell; he will never be happy because he has turned his back on God. • If a member is offended by somebody, the member may curse and damn such a person. • Other churches are damned because they are committing heresy and telling lies. • You may curse somebody by sending evil spirits to afflict and harass him. • There are some members who believe they have received the power from God to wish people dead and then it will happen. • It is professed that when a Priest takes his Communion case to a family who have marriage problems, he has the power to let one of them die.
Heaven And Hell
• Members are told that heaven and hell are only conditions on earth. • Heaven is a condition in which one finds oneself when you are working for the church. • Hell is when you have difficulties and problems in your daily activities and get into trouble.
23 • There will be no second coming and you will not see Jesus descending on a cloud, because there is no heaven and the second coming has already come to pass. • Members should not worry because nobody who is part of the 144 000 will be lost, but they will receive the everlasting rest. • A person, who has been a member but would not listen, will go to hell. • When a person dies, who is not part of the church, his soul can work on earth to attain the everlasting rest.
Jesus Christ
• It is said that Jesus was an ordinary human, that he preached the Gospel, but that he was the child of a man and not really the Son of God. • The crucifixion never took place, because Golgotha means “Mountain of the scull”; Jesus is crucified in us on a daily basis. We must also crucify ourselves daily. • Jesus also did not ascend to Heaven on a cloud. When they watched him, at head height he looked part of the atmosphere; the cloud is the cloud of witnesses. • The second coming has already taken place long ago, so it cannot happen again. • The Jesus who came is the second Jesus namely “Soul” because the first Jesus was the Son of a carpenter.
The Second Coming Of Jesus
• They believe that this has already happened, that God is with them already and that there will not really be a cloud. • The only cloud is the cloud of witnesses which is around them for their protection. • The reason why people who die can receive the everlasting rest is that the second coming has already taken place for them.
Seeing Evil Spirits
They believe that they have received an eye of discernment which enables them to tell the difference between evil and good spirits.
• A white spirit is a good spirit and he has already received the eternal peace. • A grey spirit is happy like the brother who is in the right place.
24 • A brown spirit is someone who is not ready to enter the peace yet and who must still work on earth. • A black spirit is evil and is someone who has not accepted the teaching of the Apostle. Because he has turned his back on the Apostle he will never receive the eternal peace but will forever roam the earth. • Evil spirits can also float around in the form of wild animals and harass people.
Death And Funerals
Funeral proceedings:
• The Priest and members who prophesy visit the house on the day before the funeral. They will prophesy and the deceased will prophesy through a person to give a message to the family. • The Priest will then serve Holy Communion to the dead through the living. • One person will be appointed on the day of the funeral to see what the soul of the deceased is doing and whether he is happy. • At the grave a blessing will be said and the Priest will read the following: “With the power received from the Apostle, I command the soul to go forth and enter the realm of everlasting peace.” • He then returns to the earth what comes from the earth and says another blessing. • Now the deceased has been given eternal life by the Priest through the powers of the Apostle.
Crucifixion
• The crucifixion took place on Golgotha; Golgotha means “scull”.
Conclusion …
• Jesus is crucified in a person’s head. • You must crucify Him daily in your life. • You must also be crucified daily in the world to be with Jesus.
Holy Communion, Deeds And Healing
• Communion is served by the officials every first Sunday of the month.
25 • No member may touch the cup and plate of Communion because they are holy.
On receiving Communion, you must put your left hand on your right hand; the bread is then dipped in the fluid and put in your hand while you are told: “Take, eat, this is my Body which has been broken for you. Drink, this is my Blood that has been shed for you”. Then you say: “Amen”, before you eat it.
• If deeds are required, they must be done by an Elder. • Sick people are told that if they and the whole congregation agree, healing will take place and the hands of the doctor who treats the patient are blessed. • If the treatment or operation is unsuccessful it is your own fault because you did not listen; you did not believe, so it is your punishment.
Instruction/Teaching
Genesis 1:1-5 “1 IN THE beginning God (prepared, formed, fashioned, and) created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was without form and an empty waste, and darkness was upon the face of the very great deep. The Spirit of God was moving (hovering, brooding) over the face of the waters. 3 And God said, Let there be light; and there was light. 4 And God saw that the light was good (suitable, pleasant) and He approved it; and God separated the light from the darkness. 5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day.”
You are told that the world is without form and void, man’s intellect is the earth. Until he understands the Gospel man is also without form and void. If he can say “I see”, then it is the light created by God which gave him understanding. Revelation 12
The pregnant woman, who stands on the moon, is the congregation with new members who are growing spiritually.
The dragon is the person who comes to the members and tries to pull them out of the kingdom and do them harm.
The dragon is the New Apostolic Church who took two thirds of the church’s members and money in a court case and their members are now called evil and from the devil.
If an official offends you they also tell you that this person may be the dragon that destroys members and that you must ignore him.
26 Leaving the church is foolish, because then you are angry with God and is turning your back on Him.
Mark 15:21-41 “21 And they forced a passerby, Simon of Cyrene, the father of Alexander and Rufus, who was coming in from the field (country), to carry His cross. 22 And they led Him to Golgotha [in La n: Calvary], meaning The Place of a Skull. 23 And they [a empted to] give Him wine mingled with myrrh, but He would not take it. 24 And they crucified Him; and they divided His garments and distributed them among themselves, throwing lots for them to decide who should take what. 25 And it was the third hour (about nine o’clock in the morning) when they crucified Him. 26 And the inscrip on of the accusa on against Him was wri en above, The King of the Jews. 27 And with Him they crucified two robbers, one on [His] right hand and one on His le . 28 And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, He was counted among the transgressors. 29 And those who passed by kept reviling Him and reproaching Him abusively in harsh and insolent language, wagging their heads and saying, Aha! You Who would destroy the temple and build it in three days, 30 Now rescue Yourself [from death], coming down from the cross! 31 So also the chief priests, with the scribes, made sport of Him to one another, saying, He rescued others [from death]; Himself He is unable to rescue. 32 Let the Christ (the Messiah), the King of Israel, come down now from the cross, that we may see [it] and trust in and rely on Him and adhere to Him! Those who were crucified with Him also reviled and reproached Him [speaking abusively, harshly, and insolently]. 33 And when the sixth hour (about midday) had come, there was darkness over the whole land un l the ninth hour (about three o’clock). 34 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?—which means, My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me [deser ng Me and leaving Me helpless and abandoned]? 35 And some of those standing by, [and] hearing it, said, See! He is calling Elijah! 36 And one man ran, and, filling a sponge with vinegar (a mixture of sour wine and water), put it on a staff made of a [bamboo-like] reed and gave it to Him to drink, saying, Hold off! Let us see whether Elijah [does] come to take Him down. 37 And Jesus u ered a loud cry, and breathed out His life. 38 And the curtain [of the Holy of Holies] of the temple was torn in two from top to bo om. 39 And when the centurion who stood facing Him saw Him expire this way, he said, Really, this Man was God’s Son! 40 Now some women were there also, looking on from a distance, among whom were Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joses, and Salome, 41 Who, when [Jesus] was in Galilee, were in the habit of accompanying and ministering to Him; and [there were] also many other [women] who had come up with Him to Jerusalem.”
Because Golgotha means “skull”, Jesus has not really been crucified, but Jesus is crucified and buried in one’s head, so that He can arise in one’s head. Jesus must arise and ascend there.
The second coming has already happened; there is no heaven or hell; they are just “stages” on earth and there will be no second coming. General
• The church is the tribe of Israel and they are the 144 000 chosen of God. • They must convert the world and God will show them to whom to testify so that these people can become part of the tribe of Israel. • The second coming has happened and the church is the New Jerusalem.
27 • That they are with God, and other people will wait in vain for the second coming. • If you leave their church, you will be accursed and not allowed in heaven for turning your back on God. You will be doomed forever. • A person who is not interested in their teaching shall not inherit eternal life. • If a person is not in his right place when he dies, his soul will have to work on earth until he is ready to enter the eternal rest. • (It has happened that when a family got the Priest to send an evil spirit to perdition, this evil spirit was shown to be the previous Priest who had died!)
28 Prayer of renunciation for the Old and New Apostolic Church ...
29 FATHER, I come to You in the Name of Y'shua HaMaschiah4 (Jesus Christ) of Nazareth and confess that Y’shua (Jesus) is my Lord and Master. His Blood has set me free. His life is within me and I am a child of God.
I renounce my belief in the Old/New Apostle church and the apostle, prophets, evangelists, shepherds, elders, priests and assistant deacons.
I renounce the Baptism by the sprinkling of water unto repentance, the Holy communion through which I receive forgiveness of sin and the holy seal confirmed through the laying on of hands by the apostle.
I renounce the ministering of the three holy sacraments to the souls of the dead on behalf of the dead by the living.
I renounce membership as a "soulbride".
I renounce the forgiveness of sin spoken over me by the apostle.
I renounce every “holy communion” partaken in that could only be served by the apostle (holy communion served to small children - parents eat a small piece of bread from the baby's lips).
I renounce any recognition/authority given to the apostle to administer God's will and grace.
I renounce the teachings of the apostle.
I renounce that I have submitted myself in word and deed to the powers/ authority in the congregation.
I renounce the acceptance of the sign of the “Holy Cross” on my forehead and chest, any guardian angel, the opening of the third eye or any ungodly access to the spirit dimension.
I renounce any acknowledgement given to the apostle to administer the grace of God.
4 Y’shua (Hebrew) is Jesus’ real name, which means “Salva on”. We have no problem with the name “Jesus” – it is merely the Greek translitera on of “Y’shua”. Jesus is the name most of us grew up with. Remember though, Y’shua was a Jew, of the Tribe of Judah, not a Greek. It’s sort of like this … when you come to know someone’s real name, you want to use it, hence the use of Y’shua instead of Jesus. Another powerful reason to use Y’shua is that every me you say His Name, you are proclaiming “Salva on”. You will also note in some places, we have used the real Name of the FATHER, YHVH. The Name is made up of the Hebrew le ers, Yod-Hey- Vav-Hey, and is most commonly pronounced “Yahweh” or “Jehovah”. Again, we have chosen to use this, as YHVH is the FATHER’s Name.
30 I renounce any false baptism in holy fire.
I renounce the power the apostle has to make someone die. I cancel any words or deeds he performed over any of my loved ones or myself, in Y’shua (Jesus’) Name.
I renounce the power I received to curse others.
I renounce the “gift” I have to send evil spirits to those who are not interested in the church.
I renounce the apostle’s authority to state that if I leave the church I forsake God.
I renounce the power of the people in the church who state that they can curse my house and declare accidents and poverty over my family.
I renounce my parents as my “saviours" and any promise I made as "saviour" of my own children.
I renounce the oath that my parents must bring me blameless and spotless before God and any similar promise I made as parent. (The Blood of Y’shua/ Jesus is ignored.)
I renounce any promise made to raise my children according to the will of God as announced by the apostle and if I myself were raised that way.
I renounce any laying on of hands by any apostle.
I renounce the false teaching of baptismal sprinkling for conversion, the cleansing of the heart as well as the baptism in the Holy Spirit and with fire in order to become a child and heir of God. (Babies do not understand).
I renounce every “shepherd” of my soul in the congregation in authority over me.
I renounce the holy covenant I made when I accepted responsibility as member of the congregation. I cancel out the witnesses against me as well as the act of sealing my confirmation with the Holy Communion.
I renounce that I am one of the 144 000 chosen ones of God and that the teachings of the Old/New Apostolic church is the only way to obtain eternal life. Marriage
I renounce having been married under the authority of the apostle and his blessings.
31 I renounce the oath made to receive and abide in a true love for the Apostolic church. (Until the end.)

Thanksgiving And Blessing Of The Harvest Of Souls (First Sunday of November)

I renounce being dedicated to Jerusalem, mother of us all in the spirit. (She is recognized to bring forth rebirth to blessed souls. Through fulfilling her covenant with God, many souls receive the mark of the Lamb and are thus redeemed.)

I renounce any prayer for the dead. (Egyptian rituals)
I renounce the authority of the apostle being the only one with the power to send my soul to the everlasting rest or to Hell (he pretends to be Y’shua (Jesus).
I renounce that it is possible to communicate with the deceased before the funeral and that the deceased can prophesy through another person and give messages. (This is clearly forbidden in the Word.) The Creed
I renounce the apostle as teacher, mediator and ambassador. (To judge you!)
I renounce my belief in the apostle as the one who has the keys of the Kingdom and his authority to either open or lock the kingdom to whomever he chooses.
I renounce my faith in the apostle as the light to the nations and that only he can preach the Gospel.
I renounce my faith in the apostle that he is the only way to see the Father or Christ.
I renounce the apostle as mediator (in Jesus’ place).
32 I renounce the doctrine that states heaven is a place of tranquility, blessedness and peace and that I will only enjoy it if I humble myself and become as a child in the house of the Lord. (Such a child is an angel in heaven and every day sees the face of the Father who is in Heaven!)
I renounce any form of worship of man or the apostle.
I renounce the denial of the second coming of Christ and that it is taught that He has already come.
I renounce the denial that Messiah (Christ) will not come on natural clouds and that I believed it is the same heaven where the children of God live - it is the cloud of witnesses that surrounds us.
I renounce my belief in the apostle that power was given to him to judge. I break every curse spoken by him, in the Name of Y’shua (Jesus).

I renounce the right of the apostle to have given me the Holy Spirit.
I renounce the ability of the apostle to seal a baby (a baby is too small to understand). I renounce the lie that the parents are responsible for the child’s sins and that the father will be punished if the child is not raised in the teachings of the church.
I renounce any evil spirit of demonic insight and clarification I received by the laying on of hands by the apostle.
I renounce the foundation laid firm with this seal on my forehead as well as the curse that I will go to hell without this seal. (Where is the Blood of Messiah?)
33 In the Name of Y’shua (Jesus) I break every demonic seal that has been placed upon my family and me. I bind every demon assigned to this seal and command you to go to the Feet of Y’shua (Jesus). I cut myself free from every power and principality that has been assigned over my family and me and I destroy every demonic altar speaking against us with the Fire of God!
Thank You Abba Father that You now set me free. Thank You that there is only One Mediator, namely Y'shua HaMaschiah (Jesus the Messiah). Thank You for the Blood of Y’shua (Jesus) that cleanses me.
Thank You for the Sword of the Spirit that now severs me from the Old/New Apostolic Church of Africa.
I praise Your Name for the Truth that sets met free!
AMEN!
34 WRAPPING-UP Prayer AFTER Deliverance (for the counsellor)
Dear Heavenly FATHER,
Thank You for the work being done here today. We pray against any whiplash, backlash, and judgment from the enemy in the Name of Messiah Y’shua (Jesus Christ).
We ask FATHER, that You will cut any un-Godly spirit/soul-ties formed in the spirit because of the deliverance that took place, also any transference that took place between their spirit, soul, and body to my spirit, soul and body. We plant the Cross of Messiah Y’shua (Jesus Christ) between myself and the counselee. Thank You that no transference will take place. We take Your Comprehensive Insurance for our families, relationships, and possessions.
We ask that You will cleanse and purify this property and this room with the Blood of Messiah Y’shua (Jesus Christ) of Nazareth and Your Holy Fire, that no demon will attach itself to any object and all human and dead human spirits be removed by Your escort angels to the footstool of King Messiah Y’shua (Jesus Christ). That all defilement be removed and swept away with Your Broom of destruction in Name of Messiah Y’shua (Jesus Christ).
FATHER, we ask that You remove any watchdog and marker demons, that have been assigned by the kingdom of darkness to mark the property in the spirit for a counter attack through astral projection, to the Feet of Messiah Y’shua (Jesus Christ).
We also want to declare the Kingship of Messiah Y’shua (Jesus Christ) of Nazareth over this place and that all openings5 are sealed off with Your Blood.
AMEN!
Remember to go before the FATHER and shower yourself with the Water of the Word. You may also want to perform a mikvah6 (baptism), to symbolize a cleansing after deliverance. Remember too to enter into praise and worship and fill yourself with the FATHER’s Presence again.
5 Openings include telephone and fax lines, computers, water pipes and sewerage, electricity circuits, Wi-Fi networks. 6 For addi onal study, see our book “J2F Understanding Water Bap sm And The Bap sm Of The Holy Spirit”
35 In closing, after these curses have been dealt with and broken, it is very important to restore BLESSINGS ... we want to encourage fathers to take this calling seriously, and to begin BLESSING their families according to the Commandment of the LORD that the priests bless with the following blessing ... The Priestly Blessing ...
Numbers 6:24-26 “24 The LORD bless thee, and keep thee: 25 The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: 26 The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.”
36 The Priestly Blessing ...
Hebraic Translation7
"YHVH will kneel before you presenting gifts, and He will guard you with a hedge of protection, YHVH will illuminate the wholeness of His Being toward you, bringing order, and He will provide you with love, sustenance, and friendship, YHVH will lift up the wholeness of His Being and look upon you, and He will set in place all you need to be whole and complete."

37 The Priestly Blessing1 `^r<ñm÷.v.yIw> hwhy ^k.÷rñ
and may he guard you the LORD may he bless you May the LORD2 bless you3 and keep you4 `&'Nñ
May the LORD lift up8 his face to you and give you peace9
1 This blessing is (ritually) recited (by the kohanim) during synagogue services during Nesiat Kapayim ("the Raising of the Hands"), though it is also recited over children on Friday night before the start of the Shabbat meal or as a bedtime blessing. 2 The name YHVH (hwhy) represents God's attributes of love and mercy (~ymix]r:h; tD"mi), in contradistiction to the name Elohim (~yhil{a/), which represents God's attribute of justice and power as our Creator. 3 hk'r"B. (b'rachah). Jewish tradition considers this both material and spiritual prosperity. Pirkei Avot 3:15 says, "If there is no flour, there is no Torah," by which is meant that material benefits are intended to help you pursue study of Torah. The first occurrence of the word "blessing" in the Scriptures pertains to pru urvu (Wbr>W WrP.), "be fruitful and multiply" (Gen. 1:22). 4 rm;v' (shamar): To guard, protect, heed, as in the exercise of diligent care. Only God has the power to secure the conferred blessing and keep it from turning sour or from fading away. 5 The word for "face" (~ynIP') is plural with the 3rd person singular ending. It is considered metaphorical since God is incorporeal. The plural form is thought by some to indicate God's revealed and hidden attributes in creation. 6 The hiphil verb (raey") comes from the word "light" (rAa), and is thought to refer to God's wisdom. "May God enlighten you" with His wisdom, i.e., the Divine Light that preceded the work of creation (Gen. 1:3). 7 May God grant you grace or favor (!xe), i.e., to understand the "breadth and length and height and depth" of God's love (Eph. 3:18). Grace refers to the bestowal of an undeserved gift. The blessing is bestowed even though unearned or unmerited. 8 Since one's face is an indication of the heart's attitude, Rashi says that this means God will suppress His anger by "looking at you" (if God is angry at you, He "turns His face away" and refuses to admit your presence). The "lifting of face" also pictures God lifting you up as a father might lift up his child in joy. The "showing of face" indicates spiritual intimacy. 9 All of the other blessings are useless without the establishment of inner peace, and therefore it is the seal of the blessing. Shalom (~Alv') is not simply the absence of strife, but a balance and harmony between the finite and infinite, the temporal and the eternal, the material and the spiritual realms. Shalom is a gift from Sar Shalom (~Alv' rf;), the Prince of Peace.
