Developing the Priest in You - Part 2
Manage episode 457043886 series 3280086
The ministry of a priest is a divine mandate. A priest lives in the spirit, not gratifying the desires of the flesh. They have gained mastery over that which enslaves a generation, walking in the authority and power that comes from a life dedicated to God. The function of a priest is to first birth the dimensions of God's calling within themselves.
Join Prophet Hari Rao as he continues to teach us how we can become true priests who are living altars unto God.
1. A priest has to master his flesh:
A priest has studied his covenant benefits and learned to crucify his flesh. When he steps before the people, he walks in the full strength of the Spirit.
In the Old Testament, priests relied on the system Moses introduced to cleanse sin; there was a way to approach God and an exhaustive list they had to study. The priest studied the law and administered it in the prescribed way and by doing so, the priest remained in God’s favor and managed the sin of an entire nation.
Samuel functioned as a legal authority, enforcing principles and approaching God based on the covenant law. His life commanded great results because he was a great student of that covenant. If Samuel could tap into power under an inferior covenant, how much more power and glory should we walk in, being saved and covered by the precious blood of Jesus?
Today, there is a famine of foundation among many believers. How can we enforce a reality we are unaware of if we haven’t studied and understood the provisions available to us? Do you know your covenant benefits as a child of God?
The priest must master life in the Spirit to subjugate the flesh and its desires. To have dominion over your flesh, you must learn to live by the Spirit.
2. A priest is an intercessor:
His life is poured out as an offering. The ministry of the priest is the ministry of intercession.
A true intercessor is not speaking on behalf of the people but co-labouring with God. People are the beneficiaries of your life.
Intercessors are God’s midwives responsible for birthing realities.
If you want to grow in your priestly office, you must grow in the spirit of intercession.
The ministry of the intercessor is the bridge that connects God and His people; a bridge between the divine and the natural; it captures the invisible and pushes it into the visible.
The goal of an intercessor is to get the spiritual blueprint from God and birth it into reality.The ministry of intercession connects you to the end-time movement of God.
You cannot function in any of the fivefold ministries without taking on the mantle of an intercessor.
An Intercessor is the Salt of the Earth! They become watchmen over regions
People are beneficiaries of your life because you are not just meant to take people to God but to bring God to the people.
Develop the priest with you and become a living altar for Christ!
