The Washing of the Hands


< Go Back

Water represents God’s spiritual wisdom and divine power.  It also is symbolic of baptism which washes off the limitations and curses of this world so that we can live in the supernatural power of God.  The washing of the hands is important before we break the bread of prosperity because we don’t want to earn a living on our own wisdom or the wisdom of this world.  God can give us wisdom that every thing we put our hands to is going to prosper.   You wash the right hand first and do it twice.  The first washing is to break off the curses of this world and wash away the limitations. The second washing is to release God’s wisdom, anointing and power.  You do the right hand first because in the Talmud and in Jewish tradition it reminds us that we are walking on a path that God puts us on that leads to blessing, prosperity and joy.
