The Melchizedek Priesthood; Your Manual for Kingdom Governance | Jun 14, 2025 | PHB

Preparing His Bride | Jun 14, 2025 You are not merely a church attendee—you are called to function as a priest after the order of Melchizedek, a priesthood rooted in intimate relationship with God that is designed to govern earthly affairs rather than be governed by them. This calling extends far beyond the four walls of religious buildings into every sphere of influence where God has positioned you. The struggle you experience with maintaining consistent prayer, fasting, and spiritual disciplines is not a sign of personal failure but evidence of a deeper issue: you have been unconsciously programmed by Babylonian systems that permeate education, medicine, culture, and even religious practice. These systems were designed to keep you dependent on worldly infrastructure rather than operating from divine authority. Every time you default to worldly wisdom over God's word—whether it's accepting medical limitations over biblical truth about fasting, or cultural norms over kingdom principles—you're allowing foreign programming to govern your priestly function. Your transformation begins with establishing a dedicated altar—not a physical structure, but a consistent, sacred time and space where you meet with God alone. This is non-negotiable. Like Elijah who repaired the broken altar before fire fell from heaven, you must repair the broken places in your spiritual life through disciplined prayer, meditation, and study of God's word. Your altar becomes a portal between heaven and earth, and when properly maintained, creates an atmosphere where angels ascend and descend, bringing divine instruction and power into your daily life. Stop thinking of spiritual power as something external to you. When you operate in divine authority—whether through healing, prophecy, or supernatural provision—it is not "just the Holy Spirit" doing something while you remain passive. You have been united with Christ, and as you mature, His nature becomes so intertwined with yours that His authority flows through your being. The difference between operating in spiritual gifts and operating in spiritual maturity is that gifts require specific atmospheres and conditions, while maturity allows you to exercise divine authority consistently because you have submitted to the truth that transforms your very nature. You have the ability to "buy airspace"—to establish God's government over geographical regions—through sustained consecration and intercession. This requires complete dedication, not the half-hearted approach of trying to serve both God and worldly interests. Historical examples like Charles Finney, who saw entire cities transformed through revival, or modern Almolonga, where sustained prayer emptied prisons and transformed agriculture, demonstrate what happens when believers fully consecrate themselves to God's purposes. This level of impact requires sacrifice: laying down entertainment, comfort, and anything that competes with your devotion to God. Stop allowing your priestly calling to be confined to religious activities. You are meant to govern in technology, business, arts, education, and every sphere where God has given you influence. The reason unbelievers often excel in areas where believers struggle is that they have tapped into spiritual principles (often through occult means) while believers have been taught to separate their spiritual life from their professional life. This separation is not biblical—you are called to bring heaven's government into every area of earthly existence. Your spiritual development is not just about personal blessing but about creation's restoration. The earth itself is waiting for mature believers to manifest divine authority. When you fail to develop spiritually, you're not just limiting yourself—you're limiting God's ability to restore His original intention for creation through human vessels.
