Priesthood in Prayer
Sin stays in the conscience and in the soul.
Ignorance is not merely the absence of knowledge; it is knowledge that opposes truth. It is a wrong understanding that resists the reality of God.
Zeal without true knowledge cannot establish a man in God. The knowledge men lack is the knowledge of God Himself. — Hosea 4:6
The priest must be full of the knowledge of God because priesthood functions by understanding.
The Kingdom functions by understanding. Understanding produces culture, and culture produces a way of life.
Substance is reality of God. Reality is spirit. Spirit is life. Life is glory. Glory is God.
The priesthood of Aaron was established upon the Law. Priesthood and law must always work together because every priesthood requires a law that establishes a system people must flow with.
Under the Aaronic priesthood:
- Sacrifices and gifts had to be offered continually.
- Systems of worship were established through regulations and ordinances.
- Circumcision and ceremonial laws became criteria for worship.
- The priesthood functioned with shadows and symbols rather than substance.
The priesthood of Aaron had the inability to truly establish men because the blood of bulls and goats could not cleanse the conscience permanently. - Hebrews 10:1
The sacrifices only made men ceremonially clean for a season, but could not perfect the inner man.
The Law of Moses contained commandments, ordinances, and systems of worship, yet these things could not produce the life of God in man.
It is the knowledge of the Law of Moses that often keeps believers from expressing the life of the Spirit.
Most times what we call “being careful” is actually fear amplifying death.
The change of priesthood demanded a change of law because a new priesthood cannot function under an old system. - Hebrews 7:12
The first had to be taken away, so the second could be enforced. — Hebrews 10:9
God established the priesthood of Melchizedek by a new law, the law of life and faith.
Melchizedek gave Abraham bread and wine, revealing a way of life and an understanding by which Abraham would live. Abraham responded with a tithe because revelation always produces response.
Jesus sanctified us by His eternal blood and introduced us into a new law, the New Creation Reality.
The New Covenant is not merely a written code; it is the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in the believer. - Jeremiah 31:33, Ezekiel 36:27
The covenant Jesus made with us is that He gave us His Spirit. The Holy Spirit within the believer is the testimony of the New Testament.
There is no way God’s laws can truly be written in a man without His Spirit being inside that man.
The Spirit becomes:
The instructor
The instruction.
The witness of life within the believer.
When the Spirit instructs a believer and the believer refuses to obey, suffering can become the consequence of disobedience because judgment follows rejected instruction.
The spirit of man has three compartments:
1. Intuition
2. Conscience
3. Communion
The conscience is the voice and witness of the Spirit.
Guilt itself stays and settles in the soul. Guilt is death. Every time the conscience continually communicates guilt, it testifies to death. The conscience becomes burdened because the old sacrifices could not fully purge it.
Under the old covenant, the conscience remained conscious of sin because the sacrifices were insufficient to perfect man inwardly. But under Christ, the believer receives a new life.
Faith is not an event. Faith is not a risk. Faith is a way of life. Faith is not merely an emotional feeling; faith comes by understanding.
Anything a man claims to believe but does not understand cannot produce its full reward in his life.
The faith law is not the law of Moses. It is the law of the New Covenant, the law of Melchizedek, the law of life.
This priesthood operates by faith because sacrifices have already been completed once and forever by Jesus Christ.
New Creation Reality refers to the realities that occur within the spirit of the believer. -
2 Corinthians 5:15-16
It is:
The possibilities of God.
The believer’s natural habitation.
The life of the Spirit expressed in man.
The supernatural is not supposed to be a strange language to the believer. The moment a man receives Jesus, he changes location spiritually. The believer is translated into another realm and another law.
Therefore, the supernatural becomes daily life. Endless possibilities become normal. Living beneath this reality becomes abnormal for the believer.
We became priests according to the power of endless life. - Hebrews 7:16
This endless life is the:
- Resurrection life.
- Creative power.
- The power of the age to come.
When a man possesses endless life, he is heavily preserved and protected.
The life of God sustains and provides. Jehovah Jireh means the Lord provides Himself. The life itself becomes both the provision and the provider.
New Creation Reality is therefore the life of endless supernatural possibilities.
Your sight determines whether life becomes difficult or easy. How you see governs how you live.
The priesthood of Aaron functioned largely through shadows and symbols.
Whenever believers become overly consumed with symbolism, it often reveals the absence of substance.
We must not reduce God to events, meetings, ceremonies, or mere external activities.
Substance is the reality of God Himself. What many call “the supernatural” is actually substance.
The Aaronic priesthood emphasized sacrifices and gifts, but the priesthood of Melchizedek is deeply intercessory.
Christ continually intercedes for us, and the Holy Spirit intercedes through us.
True priesthood is therefore not merely ritual activity; it is participation in the will of God.
Whenever Jesus speaks about the Kingdom, He talks about the will of God.
The will of God is:
- That men become holy.
- That God’s culture be established upon the earth.
- That heaven find expression through men.
The true reward of priesthood is not material things. The parameter for true reward is the will of God being accomplished.
The reward of intercession is God Himself.
Prayer therefore becomes the avenue through which the life and culture of God find expression in the earth through His priests.
A man has not truly prayed until he has submitted to the will of the Father in prayer.
When God introduces priesthood, He introduces heavenly culture into the earth.
We pray because we desire:
- The culture of heaven,
- The will of God,
- The civilization of the Spirit, to be established upon the earth.
The Kingdom functions by understanding. Understanding produces culture, and culture produces civilization.
The greatest need of every spirit in heaven and on earth is expression.
