THE HIGH PRIEST MINISTRY

As I read the scriptures in Hebrews 5:1 it says, "For every high priest taken from among men is appointed for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins. vs.2 He can have compassion on those who are ignorant and going astray, since he himself is also beset by weakness."

But Hebrew 8:1 says this, "Now this is the main point of the thing we are saying: We have such a High Priest, who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens, a Minister of the Sanctuary of the True Tabernacle which the Lord erected and not man."

There is a New Man on the Throne of Grace with a Ministry. And that man is Jesus Christ our Lord Himself. Let us look into this Ministry and discover what kind of ministry is it? How does it operate? How do I know I am chosen also for this kind of ministry?

As we know the ministry of Jesus always brings perfection. The law could bring nothing to conclusion. But only the New Covenant in His blood can complete God's plan and bring to completion for His Glorious Church. We also know the ministry of Jesus put away the curse of the law. He was our Redeemer, being made a curse for us, as He was hung on a tree. Sin, sickness, poverty and death were under the feet of the Lord Jesus.

Firstly, The High Priest Ministry is the kind of ministry that flows out of Zion, the Throne of God - Hebrew 8:1-6 God lives in a Three Dimension House: The Outer Court, the Holy Place and the Most Holy Place. Jesus says, "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life: no man come to the Father but by Me. - John 14:6

The outer court is the Way to God and the Holy Place is the Truth to God. But in the Most Holy Place is the Life of God. The third is the Living place. This is where life comes and transformation comes. This is not only the Living place but the place where His Love flows. That is where the church destiny is now. God says, you are the Temple of the Holy Spirit and God lives in you. That is the place where the fire of God is - the Shekinah Glory of God. This is the fire of glory and as fire burns it cleanses and purify us to perfection. So God is a consuming fire!

God says I will prepare a place for you in John 14:12 because in my Father's house there are many rooms. I go and prepare a "place" for you. What is that place? Is it a physical place or mansion? I believe that is the place of glory and a place of power and authority. A place of ministry. A place to behold the Glory of God as Psalmist David says.

Jesus says in John 14:12 "Greater works than these shall he (you and me) do; because I go to my Father - the Throne Room of God. By the way the Greek word for "throne" is "thronos" it means "the place and seat of authority" it refers to all authority and powers that resides in the Name of Jesus. God is inviting you and me to that ministry and that is the greater works or ministry shall we do in His Name. Are we at the Throne of judgment or at the Throne of grace? The throne room gives life and mercy, grace and forgiveness and love from God. This ministry flows out from God Himself without condemnation and guilt but forgiveness. This is the ministry of forgiveness and blessing like of the Melchesedec priest of the most High God. This priesthood pronounced His people "clean and perfect" because of Jesus blood.

O God give us a ministry like Yours! A ministry flows from GRACE and BLESSINGS to others from the Throne room of GLORY. From it flows grace and and mercy. It is a spirit to spirit ministry - not dead but alive. Today we are called into this type of priesthood ministry. There is a Church in the Throne Room of God with a ministry in His name, CHRIST who lives in us to do greater things in this world.

Revelation 1:4 says, "Grace to you and peace from Him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven Spirits who are before His throne, and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the Ruler over the kings of the earth. To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood, vs. 6 and has made us kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.
