Sid: I have in the studio Pastor Bill Ligon who is revealing to you some truths that, if you only had known twenty, thirty years ago. But guess what, God does not exist in a zone with time, He’s in eternity. And God is going to make up for the lost time that you have had as you understand what the Jewish Patriarch’s understood, what so few in the church understand today. Pastor Bill Ligon has spent, “How many years have you spent studying this Bill?
Bill: Since 1973. That’s thirty-eight years.
Sid: And are you still getting revelation on this subject?
Bill: I still do Sid, everyday, it’s amazing, you know the scriptures are just so full of life and you can always when you go to the scriptures you can always find something new that you didn’t recognize before.
Sid: Now, we’ve talked a lot about husband’s blessing wives and wives blessings husbands. What about single people that are listening to us right now?
Bill: Sometimes Sid, single people do not have anyone to bless them. One time I had a lady call me, she was in her mid thirties; she was living alone and she had become very obese and her physician had said,” You must have stomach bypass surgery. She said, “Pastor, what do you think?” And I said, “Well, you know your physician knows best but I’ve heard that there could be complications, why don’t we try something else first.” She said, “What’s that? When I began to talk to her, I said, “I think that you’ve been speaking curses over yourself and so you’re at the point now even when you’re at home at night and your standing in your kitchen as your snacking on all those snacks you get out of the refrigerator you’re saying, “I shouldn’t do this, this is going to make me fat, I’m ugly and I’m fat. I said, “I want to change that in your life.” So we began to prepare for her a series of blessings she would speak over herself. You ar e blessed of the Lord; you’re slim your beautiful; you’re filled with the grace and the love of Lord Jesus Christ. And then I said, “What do you think your weight should be?” And she told me what her ideal weight should be so I said, “Okay, I want you every night to stand in front of the mirror; put your hand on your own forehead and begin to say, “May the Lord bless you, call yourself by name.”
Sid: So you can bless yourself.
Bill: Oh, yes, yes, we curse ourselves. Jesus said, “It isn’t what goes in that defiles you, it’s what comes out or your mouth, that’s what defiles you.” So if we can change what comes out of our mouths, it can change our lives. And so she began to speak blessings over herself. She was standing in front of the mirror at night, she would bless herself, she would begin by saying “You’re blessed of the Lord, God created you to be beautiful, to be lovely, to be slim; the Lord’s filled you with His grace and His love and the Lord’s blessed you to weigh whatever weight it was, a certain number of pounds.” And she did that every day, day after day, after day for months. One Sunday she came to our church, she was in another church, but she came to our church and I felt a tug on my coattail and I was standing in the lobby of the church, I turned around and there she stood. And she put her hand on the back of her head and did a little twirl like girls can do and I realized she wanted me to look at her. So I stepped back and I took a look at her and I said, “My goodness you look great.” I said, “Wow, look at all the weight you’ve lost, you are so slim.” And she said, “Pastor since I’ve been blessing myself I have lost seventy-two pounds,” and that girl never did have to have the stomach bypass.
Sid: How about and this happens too much today, sons that are estranged from their fathers, daughters estranged from their mothers; have you seen a restoration there?
Bill: Oh, definitely. We were teaching at a conference center in Kentucky and a father from Hopkinsville, Kentucky came to the meeting and he approached me after one of the sessions. And he said, “Pastor Bill, he said, “How can I bless my son, he lives in Chicago with his wife and he won’t have anything to do with us; he won’t answer my phone calls, he won’t return mail to me, he won’t write to me when I write to him, and he has nothing to do with us at all.” He said, “How can I bless him?” And I said, “Well, do you know what his dreams and ambitions are, some of the things that he wants to achieve in his work?” And he said, “Yes, I do know those things.” And I said, “Why don’t you start writing him little blessings every week and just drop them in the mail to him.” Just write a blessings every week, be diligent with it, every week give him a blessing so he began to write blessings every week and several years later, I was back teaching in Kentucky and the man showed up again. And he had two little girls with him, little bitty girls they were hanging on to his legs and he said, “Pastor let me tell you what happened.” “I went back home and I began to write those blessings every week to our son in Chicago and after several months the phone rang one day, Dad, this is your son,” and he said, “Thank you very much for sending me the blessings, ever since I’ve been reading those blessings, my life has changed; my home is in much better shape.” He said, “I’ve received promotion in my work, I’m prospering now in my life,” he said, “I can’t believe what’s happening to me because of these blessings that I’m reading.” He said, “Thank you so much.” He said, “Dad can we do one thing?” He said, “What’s that?” “Could my wife and I come to see you?” “Oh, he said, we would love to have you.” So they drove from Chicago to Hopkinsville and stayed in their home for the weekend. And while they were there they told their parents that they were barren and had been unable to have children. Well, the parents said, “Well we learned on these teachings on the blessing that if we bless your womb, God will open your womb and give you children.” They said, “Well, would you do that?” So they blessed them, and they went back to Chicago and conceived a little girl and then about a year and a half later they conceived another little girl. And those were the two little children that were hanging on the Grand Daddy’s legs at that time. He said, “Look here is the product of the spoken blessing restoring my son who was estranged from me in life.”
Sid: After training thousands of people on the power of the blessing, you seem so enthusiastic at age eighty; probably even more so than when you were first getting this revelation on what has been stolen from the church.
Bill: That’s because I am so convinced Sid that God’s intention in the verbal spoken blessing is to release His favor upon His people. And that’s what I want, I want to see God’s people enjoy the Lord; enjoy His presence and all the abundance of life that He has for them. And that is the way God has given the opportunity for us to release His blessing and His favor upon His people. Now the church has been deficient in that and it has been restored to us now and so we need to begin to practice it on a daily basis. Parents and children, employers and employees, neighbors…
Sid: Speaking of employers and employees, give me another example of how it transformed a business person.
Bill: Well, this man in South Carolina called me one day and he said, “Pastor, he said I had no relationship with my Father and I was struggling in my business.” He said, “One day it dawned on me after I received your material on the blessing that I should go to my father.” And so he said, “I caught an airplane and flew to where he lived. And he said “When I walked into the home he said, I asked my father if he would study these principal of the blessing with me. He said, “He would, so he said we spent some sometime studying together and then I asked my Dad, if he would speak blessing over me?” He said, that he had never done that, he had never spoke positive over my life. So he said he laid hands on me and he spoke success over me, over my life, over my business, and he was writing this letter to me as he was on the plane returning. He said, “Pastor, I’m on the plane going back home, he said “I have great anticipation, I don’t know what’s going to happen yet, but I have a feeling that there is something different inside of me.” He came back home and months later, he wrote me again and he said, “I want you to know that my business has turned around, things are prospering life is healthy and wholesome because of the power of the blessing that my Dad spoke over my life.”
Sid: Such a supernatural tool that God has given us and we’ve missed it. But no more… Pastor Bill would you pray the Aaronic Blessing and deposit the fullness of the Name of Jesus on our people.
Bill: Yes, and as you hear this open your hands up the Lord and remember that it is the Lord that imparts the blessing, I only speak it. So Blessed are You Lord God King of the Universe, you have commanded this blessings to be spoken over your people, that Your Name might be placed on them and that You might bless them, “So may the Lord Himself bless you and keep you. May the Lord cause His Face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you and may the Lord let the light of His countenance on you and give you His peace in Jesus Name. Amen.
Sid: Well, I don’t know about you, but Pastor Bill there is a thick presence of God in this studio and I pray more and more and more of His presence will be deposited on you. You are blessed, you Mishpochah are blessed by Almighty God; His Name is upon you.
Sid: I have in the studio Pastor Bill Ligon who is revealing to you some truths that, if you only had known twenty, thirty years ago.
