There is one Master/Teacher/Father of us:

And for this cause not many ought to be teachers.

James 3:1-10, 13, 17-18

1-10

“My brethren, be not many masters [G1320: instructors, masters, teachers, doctors/ates], knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation [2917: judgement decision].  For in many things we offend [G4417: we trip up and cause to stumble] all. If any man offends not in word [G3056: thought and speech, reasoning and motive, computation and Divine Expression of Christ, doctrine, preaching, and utterance word work], the same is a perfect [G5046: complete, mature, full of age in growth— mental and moral character] man, and able also to bridle the whole body [G4983: the sound whole slave].

Behold, we put bits in the horses' mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body.  Behold also the ships, which though they be so great, and are driven of fierce winds— yet they are turned about with a very small helm, whithersoever the governor listeth.  Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasts great things. 

Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!  And the tongue is a fire [G4442: lightening], a world of iniquity [G93: wrongfulness (of character, life, or actions), injustice, unrighteousness]: so is the tongue among our members [G3196: part of the body (of Christ)], that (or and) it defiles the whole body [G4983: the sound whole slave(s)], and sets on fire the course [G5164: the runner of a circuit (race)] of nature [G1078— genesis: nativity nature, generation]; and it is set on fire [G5394: blazingly ignited, inflamed, impassioned] of hell [G1067—geenna/ghehennah: place of everlasting punishment].

For every kind of beast, bird, serpent, and of things in the sea— is tamed, and has been tamed of mankind: but the tongue can no man [G444: countenance of the human being] tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. {Because it’s of the flesh of man, and the only one who conquered the flesh-nature (nativity or genesis, or generation of persons) was/is the Lord Jesus Christ.}

Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men— which are made after the similitude of God.  Out of the same mouth proceeds blessing and cursing. My brethren— these things ought [G5534: must or should] not be so.

13 

Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? Let him show out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom. 

{Truly— the only one is the Lord himself; and he ought to be arising within his vessels to bring forth in capacity of speech, reasoning, knowledge, and instruction— of himself: he is the only Teacher/Master of us, and the only one who ought to be reverenced and referenced from our mouths— as oracles of God.  For the highest accountability of judgment shall come forth of him himself— as he weighs all who will instruct another in the Word— as to whether he himself arose within a man-vessel to do so: may we hear and see what the Spirit of the Lord is saying and showing.}

17-18

The wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality— and without hypocrisy.  And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.”

_____

It is only the Lord who moves like this— and he is to be reverenced from within our thoughts, motivations, and speech; as we roll out the red carpet for his Spirit to come forth and witness the Word of God in truth, the way, and his life: as this is the role of the Holy Spirit unto us: to lead us into all truth— for which we are then accountable unto: Jesus Christ.

"And for this cause there ought not be many teachers/masters among you" is from the book of James, chapter 3; and it cautions believers against seeking out the role of teacher— due to the stricter judgment all teachers will face; which emphasizes the great responsibility in guiding others.  As well it emphasizes the danger of the use of the tongue, and the need for teachers to embody the truth they teach. It's a call to and for humility, self-examination, and deep commitment to God's Word— recognizing that teachers' words have powerful, lasting effects, that could potentially lead people to God —or astray— hence the heavier accountability. 

Greater Accountability: Teachers, who instruct others in faith, are held to a higher standard and will be judged more severely by God for their words and actions.  And why?  Because they are to know God personally, study him (and under him) to show themselves accountable to him and his kingdom; as well as have been anointed, trained under that anointing, and commissioned of the Lord God to instruct and teach others in his fold— the Lord God and his kingdom, his gospel, and his way.

• The interesting thing is— we are all assuming the role of teacher or master of the subject to teach— when we correct anyone of scripture, of the Lord God in counsels, or even throw our opinions around (biblically speaking) as if it is the way, the truth, and Jesus’ life in us leading us to do so.  Teacher— is not simply one who has been anointed, trained, and ordained, as well as commissioned of the Lord God to go forth in this realm and teach him and his kingdom to others (though it ought to be— as teachers were designed to come forward in this way— upon studying under the Holy Spirit to be brought forth unto his flock to lead and raise them up); but it is one who goes about to correct or lead others in any conversation of the tongue— in the name of the Way, Truth, and Life (Jesus Christ): hence why there ought not be many teachers or masters among us, the scripture tells us.

This means— there ought not be many of you talking and leading others by your tongues and actions— for many people do this, and yet are not trained, disciplined, tested, tried, anointed, sanctified, consecrated, and commissioned of the Holy Spirit, led of the Holy Spirit— to bring forth the life of Messiah, the Word of God— in leadership of other people’s lives; for in doing so— YahShua, Jesus the Christ, the Word of God himself— will hold all who do so accountable before his face— for they were to be led of his Spirit to teach anyone, anything— that was being done in his name: the Holy Spirit witnesses this in eternity.

I say all of that— because the tongue boasts much of the soul it belongs to; and yet— we do not truly realize if we are moving in correction or leading others in the Word of God— we will be judged of the Word of God himself as to whether he truly was doing the teaching, correcting, admonishing, leading, emphasizing, or bringing of spiritual insight in the Way, Truth and Life of Messiah.  Or if man was bringing forth precepts (teachings) of men, led of another spirit.

The Power of the Tongue: The tongue, though small, can cause great harm or godly good, like a rudder steering a large ship.  Teaching ‘the Word of God,’ the ‘truth,’ the ‘way,’ is scrutinized, thoroughly judged, and each person doing so— held highly accountable— to the Word of God himself; who is the King of kings and Lord of lords— who will see all are judged justly for what they do in body during their earthly lives; who is also— the Rabbi/Teacher and Master of us: and all those who he shall arise in to teach or lead his people— shall cease of the self— in order to allow his person to come forth, be exalted, esteemed, reverenced and referenced— as he himself comes (through the Holy Spirit) to witness his own life— through this humbled vessel/servant: who has chosen this day to serve the Lord God in the land of the living.

Example & Character: Teachers must exemplify the truth they teach (be living it), as their lives and words significantly influence believers' spiritual progress.  A teacher is interchangeable with a master, as exemplified in the scripture of Matthew 23, and is why there is to only to be one referenced as such (Jesus Christ); and why all who shall serve him in the fulfillment of allowing him to teach through them— the flock of his people; shall be humble, low, bowing out, and denying self— in order for him to arise within them and lead his people through the office of teacher— himself: for all who seek to teach another any thing— shall be judged of the King in the end for what he has done in body, whether led of his Spirit to witness the truth and way and life of himself in each vessel; or whether man arose within as his own god— and usurped the position that is rightfully his— in the Holy Spirit of God; to every soul that claims to serve him within and be led of his Spirit:  as the role of teacher is not for the promotion of the self— but unto the promotion of the Rabbi himself to come forward— hence— there ought not be many teachers among you (those who claim to speak for God and raise the flock up in the way to go, or reveal the kingdom of God and the Lord God himself as the Word of God— lest they have true knowledge of God and are led of his Spirit to bring forth— as an oracle of God).

Not for Self-Promotion: The role isn't for personal gain or authority, to be rulers over others, or for self-righteousness— but for accurately disseminating God's truth, with rewards for faithfulness; as well as severe consequences for misuse.

It’s always about rolling out the red carpet to the Holy Spirit to use our vessels, to do the one thing the Holy Spirit is here within us to do: bring us into remembrance of the Word of God, the exaltation of the Word of God, and to obey the Word of God (YahShua Ha Mashiach, Jesus the Christ, the Son who has been handed all things into his rightful rule— of the Father and Creator of us: who judges justly/rightly each man.)

To bring forth any other Teacher/Master or person to be acknowledged— is dangerous— when claiming to represent the Lord God in correcting others or leading others in the way, the truth, and life.  The Lord’s anointed, appointed, trained, disciplined, tested, tried, sanctified, consecrated, and commissioned teachers— know the level of accountability to him, and the consequences of teaching, correcting, counseling, or leading anyone outside of Christ’s leading and Spirit.

His desire is that we would understand what we are doing when we instruct, correct, or lead another biblically: for we ought to be truly led of the Lord’s Spirit— for if we are not— this will not save us in the just judgment he shall hold us accountable for: because within our members (people) the tongue defiles many people: and we shall be held accountable for what we defile: for we are to be the people led of the Holy Spirit of God— if we are God’s children.

John 7:15-18

“And the Jews marveled, saying— How does this man know the letters, having never learned (been taught them under the Pharisees— they meant)?  Jesus answered them, and said— My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.  If any man will do his will— he shall know of the doctrine, and whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.  He that speaks of himself seeks his own glory: but he that seeks his glory that sent him— the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.”

This verse is pointing out two things:

• Firstly— The Holy Spirit will teach all men what the truth is, what the true doctrine or teachings of God are— as that is the Holy Spirit’s role in our lives— to bring us into all truth and raise us up in the Son of man— unto a perfect, complete, or mature son/child of God: this man will know the true teachings of God and his kingdom— IF— he does his will.  

• And secondly— a servant of the Lord does not speak of himself (or from himself), but he speaks from the unction of the Lord God, and the Father of us— according to his will— by the Holy Spirit of God.  For he that speaks of himself (about himself), or from himself (his own soul and focus of) —this man seeks his own glory (dignity, esteem, exaltation), and not to esteem or exalt God.  But he who shall know, do, and be led to fulfill the will of the Lord, and Father of us as our Master and Teacher— this man shall bring forth the truth (for he is a person), and shall teach the true doctrine (for he is a person, who is to come forth of himself within us to witness to all, as he arises in our hearts [the day star]), and it shall be righteousness unto him— or in and upon this vessel/man: losing unrighteousness— which is born of the self being.

This man shall decrease— to increase the Lord God within him.  This man shall bow low— to esteem the Lord God.  This man shall speak of the Lord God— and not of man at all: save the Man Jesus Christ, the truth, way, and life of all men: this man shall esteem God in his speech, doctrine teachings, and knowledge base: for the true religion is to teach or witness forth in a living knowledge of the truth— Jesus Christ himself: for this is the purpose of the Holy Ghost unto us.

Hypocrites, the Pharisaical— come forth to speak much, but of whom do not live in alignment with the Holy Spirit, the truth, the way, nor are led of the Spirit of God; but instead— deny the power of the Spirit of God to convert them within, as they walk by the spirit of the world: they do not know God, nor the Son intimately— yet claim they serve God: beware, take heed— when you think you stand— lest you fall, too.

For not many masters (teachers who teach from their lives and mouths) should there be: but only those who have died the death, are getting down low, out of the way, to allow Him to come through and teach and witness of himself— his way, truth, and kingdom: we have many teaching many things (as he found in his day), and yet— are in danger of the strict judgment: not because they have an ‘official’ role of teacher in an office— but because they assumed this official role and position— illegitimately— in how they are living, what they are speaking, and led of their own self; but in correction of the others/the body— whilst being held highly accountable before our King— as to what they are truly doing whilst in body in the earth.

• I had ZERO IDEA he was desiring to go into all of this— as I got out my computer to type: but he is telling me we have too many illegitimate experts of Christ Jesus the Word of God— who are unlearned, undisciplined, unsanctified, not led of his Spirit, anointed to teach him or his doctrine, nor commissioned to come forth in this capacity— who are: and he’s warning us to take note.

We teach in EVERYTHING we say and do: let us teach Christ— by us bringing forth Christ— and allowing him to witness himself: this is the way— to bring forth the truth: get low, get reverent, get led of his Spirit— and allow him to do so of his own accord.

For the Pharisees shall go of their own accord, led to speak of themselves (or from their own selves), and exalt themselves: truly— look, listen, discern, and learn of the Spirit of the living God: and know whom is in spirit before you— whether the Lord’s Spirit— or another— in every vessel, including your own.

Matthew 23:5-12

“But all their works they do —to be seen (or admired) of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders [fringe and tassels] of their garments, and love the uppermost [preeminent or chiefest] rooms at feasts/meals, and the chief seats in the synagogues [the assembly meeting of the church], and greetings in the markets, and to be called of men— Rabbi, Rabbi. [G4461: my master with honor and title]

But be not called Rabbi [G4461: my master with honor and title]: for one is your Master [G2519: guide or teacher] —even Christ; and all you are brethren [G80: womb brothers].  And call no man ‘your father’ upon the earth: for one is your Father [G3962: parent] —he who is in heaven.

Neither be ye called masters [G2519: guide or teacher]: for one is your Master [G2519: guide or teacher] —even Christ.  

• But he that is greatest [G3187: larger or elder] among you— shall be your servant [G1249: attendant, waiter— of menial duties, a Christ teacher or pastor, minister servant].

And whosoever shall exalt himself [G5312: elevate or lift up himself] —shall be abased [G5013: depressed— pressed down, humiliated in condition and heart, brought low of self]; and he that shall humble himself [G5013: depressed— pressed down, humiliated in condition and heart, be brought low of self] —shall be exalted [G5312: elevate or lift up himself].”

Recap

_______________________

1. Teachers receive a higher judgment/condemnation and decree from the Lord God himself— because he is supposed to be teaching others in the flock through his own Spirit leading a man: and each man walking in teaching, correcting, or leading others in the Word of God— the way, truth, or life of Jesus Christ— had better actually be led of the Spirit of God; for the Spirit of God will witness this at our judgment where we have our life review before the King of all Creation.  For by our tongue and what we exemplify in our lives— we either lead people to Christ— or to ourselves, and do err, causing them to err or be moved away from the way, truth, and life of God: this is to be highly noted in our walk in the realm of the earth; as we are to be expressing the Divine Spirit of God— as we yield to the Holy Spirit— to do the will of the Father of us— in Christ Jesus.

2. He who bridles the tongue— shall be perfect, complete, whole, and bridle the whole body, or whole sound of the man— by the Holy Spirit of God, the truth, way, and person of Jesus Christ being truly exalted within a man: and thereby become mature in Christ Jesus— in his character— full mental and moral growth— returning to the image of the Son, His exaltation, and His workmanship— as God intended from before the foundations: slaves of Christ (servants, bond-slaves) who desire to exalt the Holy Living God— and not themselves.  These men/vessels— are circumspect in all they are thinking, doing, and saying— and consulting with the Holy Living God— to allow him to come forward and teach his own people— through a servant, surrendered, vessel/man.  

3. The tongue brings forth lightning— either of God and his Spirit, or of satan— as he fell like lightning— and doth defile all (as like the tongue untamed in a man): the only One who ever tamed the tongue— was Christ Jesus— who crucified the flesh nature or generational way— leading to becoming the second Adam— or the correct Adam/man form— as like God— incarnate: the second— is the blessing and favor of God upon: a living spirit within a man— leading the soul now; not a living soul leading a man— from an estranged or dead spirit.

The tongue brings forth iniquity— if it is not the Holy Spirit of God leading a man in his ways.  The only One who brought forth (from the tongue of a man vessel) the truth, way, and life of God— was/is Jesus Christ of Nazareth: YahShua Ha Mashiach, the Messiah.  He is the only one who crucified the tongue of soul— to bring forth the tongue of the Spirit of God, in the Father: and thus— if we are his children— we shall seek to do his will, and speak as the oracles of God.

1 Peter 4:11

“If any man speak— let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister— let him do it as of the ability which God gives: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise, and dominion— forever and ever. Amen.”

It is always about God— not man: man is privileged to be housed with the Holy Living God within— and privileged to bring Him forth in all things and situations: especially in teaching Him, His kingdom, and His way, truth, and life (the Word of God, doctrine, and witness).  

A man who speaks of himself— is a man who seeks his own glory.  I shall say— a man who speaks not the Lord God upon his lips— seeks his own focus, example, exaltation, esteem, renown, and influence: know your Teacher— and know those who he arises within to witness his person through— in a vessel of God’s.

4. The tongue is among our members (brethren): either the tongue of God himself, the Divine Expression in a man— or satan’s expression in a man (thus like Judas who he called a devil— not having a devil— whom he called a devil— in John 6:70-71: “Jesus answered them— Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you— is a devil?  He spoke of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: for him it was that should betray him— being one of the twelve.”  

This is signifying— that we can be led of another spirit, even if we are with Jesus, and even called a student or disciple of his: for this comes to be if we are in it for ourselves— and not truly to exalt God nor serve HIM in the vessel, heart, and life of us.

If we serve God— others shall not be led astray from the true Way, Truth and Life of Jesus Christ, nor the true doctrine and teachings of Christ Jesus —exemplified in the walk or life of the vessel— as Christ arises to live in and out of them, as the Holy Spirit leads this child of God, who is in exaltation of the Spirit of the Living God within this man— to esteem Christ Jesus, the Word of God, in truth: a slave to Christ Jesus, a bond-servant of the Lord, a priest and a sacrificial life/lifetime, vessel of the Lord (as the Son was unto the Father in the earth).  These— shall bring forth the Word of God himself, in the true generation who shall serve and esteem/glorify the one true God and Father of us all— in this race or circuit we were sent here to accomplish in our loyalties to the kingdom and high King of us all.  To be impassioned and inflamed of his Spirit, person, and kingdom— not of hell.

5. We are to bless— not curse.  We are to exalt the living God in our every word— or we utter another word— not of heaven, the elevation, or of God and his kingdom.

6. There is only one ‘wise man’ and he is Christ Jesus— in whom we are to find our being— who is endowed with knowledge among us— and he brings forth good conversation in the works of his Spirit— with all meekness and wisdom: man of himself, speaking of himself (about and from himself), brings forth corruption, illegitimate worship (that of worship to other— or the self), and self promotion (to exalt self in a position above).  All those that shall bring forth any knowledge of God and his kingdom, his truth, way, and life— is one who has died of referencing self— and has God and his truth upon their lips: for these do honor God with lips and hearts— with proper motives, sanctified, consecrated, aligned, obedient, and in service to the King above— whilst in body.  And it is He— who comes forth in this man— as he arises in that vessel: He shall Teach and Father his own— as he is made way for, within man— by the leading of his Holy Spirit.

7. His wisdom, doctrine, truth, way, and person— is from above, first pure, peaceable, gentle, and easy to be entreated— full of mercy and good fruit— without partiality— or hypocrisy.  And the fruit of righteousness sown in peace— shall come forth of those who make peace.  Which means— those who walk in his righteousness, obey and do honor his person, esteeming Him— shall come forth in peace made unto God once again: or— otherwise known as— chaos and disobedience dealt with— as peace and harmony, and obedience comes forth of the Spirit of the Lord in his true believers and servants.  

We are called a peculiar people and a royal priesthood, yes?  Those are interesting, different, remarkable— SERVANTS of his person— in the earth.

8. When we correct, lead, or point out— we are teaching, and shall be held accountable in all we do, or do not, exemplify— that we instruct others in; and remember— no hypocrisy.  Only Christ Jesus— should be leading us in guiding us— for he pleased the Father so— that he is our leader, Teacher, and one in whom we are to find our being— well— being obedient to the Spirit of the Living God: and speaking when he and his Spirit— prompt us to: if we are his children, that is, who are led of his Spirit.  For we shall have, potentially (and detrimentally, if not rectified), eternal consequences (rewards— for good or bad— depending upon which spirit/Spirit we are serving) of what, and how, we influence others— and in what doctrine and way.

Because we are to know God personally, study him (and under him) to show ourselves accountable to him and his kingdom; as well be anointed, trained under that anointing, and commissioned of the Lord God to instruct and teach others in his fold— the Lord God and his kingdom, his gospel, and his way.

9. We are all teaching, all day, everyday, something— with our lived example, words, and reasoning: let us allow the Spirit of the living God to lead us from within.  Let us honor him by turning to him in all things to be corrected of him and led of him FIRST— before we even approach another to lead them in any way, send forth reasoning, or begin to teach a doctrine— especially in Jesus’ name.  For if it is He who desires to rise up and teach— we are covered in our judgment— by his Spirit who shall give witness to the Lord having arisen within to come forth: let us take heed of what we do, now, before the final life review: for men’s lives are in the balance— with what we teach them— either of the Lord God and his Spirit, way, truth, and life— or ours.

10. Teachers must exemplify the truth they teach (be living it), as their lives and words significantly influence believers' spiritual progress.  The role isn't for personal gain or authority, to be ruler over others, or for self-righteousness— but for accurately disseminating God's truth and person, with rewards for faithfulness; as well as severe consequences for misuse.  To bring forth any other Teacher/Master or person to be acknowledged— is dangerous— when claiming to represent the Lord God in correcting others or leading others in the way, the truth, and life.

• His desire is that we would understand what we are doing when we instruct, correct, or lead another biblically: for we ought to be truly led of the Lord’s Spirit— for if we are not— this will not save us in the just judgment he shall hold us accountable for: because within our members (people) the tongue defiles many people: and we shall be held accountable for what we defile: for we are to be the people led of the Holy Spirit of God— if we are God’s children.

11. The Holy Spirit will teach all men the truth and true doctrine of the Word of God— IF a man be given to the will of God.

12.  A servant of the Lord God does not speak of himself— but he speaks of the Lord God who sent him, and by the Lord God who sent him into this realm— by the Spirit of the Living God.  For to speak of himself (bride, son, priest, king, teacher, pastor, evangelist, friend of God, prophet, apostle, or any other role of even servant) is to exalt himself, or esteem himself, or seek his own glory (in titles and roles).  We are to esteem He who sent us here— and his name upon our lips only: this is pure heart worship, and in heart— not word only: be aware of what people are bringing forth— and who is highlighted: we are his servants, sons, friends, bride partners— mature in adoration, priests, apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and more.  But we are NOT HIM: and worship, focus, esteem/glory/exaltation— is due him, not us: we are only vessels who do honor him— if/when we do: he is the one who accomplished what man could not.  He is worthy to be praised and honored— we are not.  We are, at best— his, and to be coupled with— as we exalt him: he esteems or dignifies, or exalts, or raises us up, in him: we are to do the same to him— in our person, and upon our lips: this is true relationship of exaltation to the only One worthy of honor, glory, and esteem.

13.  We shall decrease— as he increases— and he comes forth of his own Spirit to witness the Way, Truth, and Life of the Word of God.  This vessel/man shall bow low to esteem He who is rightfully to be esteemed or glorified in all realms: Christ Jesus, Messiah, and God of us.

14. Pharisees (hypocrites) come forth to speak much of themselves (about and from themselves) —who do not live in alignment with the Holy Spirit of God— in the way, truth and life of God— nor exalt or esteem God in their words or lives lived in the realm of the earth— but seek their own (esteem, recognition, exaltation, and influence of glory): beware, take heed— when you think you stand— lest you fall, too.

15. We have too many illegitimate experts of Christ Jesus the Word of God— who are unlearned, undisciplined, unsanctified, not led of his Spirit, anointed to teach him or his doctrine, not commissioned to come forth in this capacity— who are: and he’s warning us to take note.  We teach in EVERYTHING we say and do: let us teach Christ— by us bringing forth Christ— and allowing him to witness himself: this is the way— to bring forth the truth: get low, get reverent, get led of his Spirit— and allow him to do so of his own accord.

16.  Be not called Rabbi/Teacher/Master— for there is only one guide or teacher of us— Christ Jesus; for we are all brothers— He is God, and the Father of us— raises us up in the way to go— that we should depart not from it.  

17. We have one Father (parent) of us— who is in heaven, the elevation, above— far above— all that is the way, and life down here.  

18. He who is elder or greater— shall attend, wait on, do menial duties toward bringing forth Christ Jesus the teacher, pastor, and minister of us— in servanthood: the leadership under the Lord— shall serve in the greatest capacities— of sacrificial lives.

19. Whoever elevates himself— shall be humiliated in condition and heart— brought low of self: and whoever brings the self low, humbles themselves before God in condition and heart— and God shall elevate (in due season).

• These are the things the Lord desired to speak pertaining to Teachers: and that was all to bring forth these things he said to me below this.

Revelations of the word of God

________________________________________

We are called a peculiar people, a royal priesthood, and kings— but many focus on being kings in authority— before the proper protocol of becoming priests.  Let me explain.

When YahShua came into this world he was taught of the Lord God.  His entire life was that he was raised up by the Spirit of the Lord, unto the Father and Creator of us— leading him in all ways.  He studied the Word of God as he was schooled by the Father and Spirit.  He went through all the Father desired of him— as he served the will and way of the Father in obedience to him and the kingdom of God— in the earth.

He was baptized, he was tried and tested in wilderness, he was obedient and loyal to the word of God and the truth; and he obeyed the will of the Father— not his own, as he became a servant in this world: this is the cause/purposes in which we are called to as well: this is the role of servanthood— as a disciple under the same protocol— to serve the Father by the Spirit— in the earth: this is the priestly, this is the sacrificial as well.

You see Jesus/YahShua came to serve, which was to ‘attend to.’  And he did not just serve the Father and Spirit of God— but then was turned to serve or attend to the body of members in the earth: the brotherhood— or brethren and fellow family of God in the earth: this too is the role of the priestly— to serve and to attend to, to sacrifice one’s own will and desires— for the good of all— in service to the Lord God in the earth.

Jesus was fulfilling the priestly training and call to be High Priest of us— as he lived his life out in the earth— unto the Father and the Spirit of God: he gave his life.  Now— that is the Lord God, yes, as the Son of man, though.  He did what we could not— but now calls us to do the same in spiritual workings: he desires lambs— before kings: for this is what he himself exemplified: the sacrificial life— before the exalted or esteemed life of being a king.

First— we shall sacrifice for all: this means we shall give up some things that we have a right to— like how the Lord God saw it not robbery to be equal with God, but humbled himself to become a servant.  Like him in that way— we have a right to be healed, delivered, prosperous, blessed, esteemed in and of God— in the earth and heavens; but he calls us to lay our lives down to the Father and Spirit of God (for heavenly workings) just as Jesus did; so as to benefit all.

He laid his life down to teach, exemplify, work works of the Holy Spirit of God, and even sacrifice his rightful position as King of kings and Lord of lords— temporarily— to esteem others above himself, to serve others above himself— as he humbled himself to die the death of the cross— so that they could be redeemed and saved unto God once again.  He calls us to walk out the priestly and sacrificial as well— before being exalted as authority figures in heaven and earth (kings): this was his example to us all.

Priests before kings.  Lambs before authority figures.  Servants before leadership.  Students before teaching or exemplifying anything to others.

And the priest is always making sacrifices for the people; hence— we shall too— if we indeed are the royal priesthood servants of the Lord.  For priests are servants.  And sons become friends of God— when they have learned to obey him first, as servants.  Priesthood servanthood will always come first.  In fact— we cannot become mature in the full stature of Christ Jesus— until we become priests who are studying under him, being trained up by him, watching him intently, and becoming as he is— at the altar first.

Let’s look at some spiritual concepts of sacrifice from the old testament.  Not to recall all the rules and regulations of the old testament in word and deed— but in spiritual concepts brought forth that explain the ‘spiritual’ duties of the priest and priesthood; that the old testament was coming forth to foreshadow in the better covenant and testament to come.

• The Burnt [or ascending] Offering (this is devotional— total consecration).

• The Grain Offering (this is thanksgiving— of produce and labor and sustenance)

• The Peace Offering (fellowship and thanksgiving)

• The Sin Offering (atonement for unintentional sin)

• The Guilt or Trespass Offering (reparations for specific wrongs or defilement)

• The Wave Offering (unto exaltation of God, dedication, gratitude, set apart)

Now, in the old testament these were done as the way of atonement, honor, and dedication to the Lord God— as a priest and a people of the Lord.  But in the New Testament in Christ Jesus— he fulfilled the law, and now we serve him directly, and his life and leadership, and find our life/being in him.  This means that we are those of Romans chapter 8 who now live by the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus— led of the Spirit of God, who comes to witness the Word of God (Jesus) to us all— in the way, truth and life of him.

So— we are going to speak symbolically or spiritually of the importance of these offerings/sacrifices unto the altar of the Lord God— in service to him.  There is always a sacrifice unto a god/God; and something always dies— in a sacrifice/offering: but eventually, eternally, it is resurrected— in consequence or reward unto the one true God and brethren.  

Remember this— it is our agreement to serve a god/God that allows for the access of that god/God to influence our lives as a head(ship) —for that is what a god/God is and does: so when unto the flesh— we serve a devil; but when unto the one true God— we serve the Lord God in headship: it is when we come into agreement with a specific headship— and make a sacrifice unto them in their headship/leadership— that a god/God becomes our head(ship): for all vessels assume a head(ship): an authority figure/leadership of their lives in mentoring/counsels— from a spirit/Spirit.  A sacrifice is our obedience to their leading and counsels in our actions with follow through to what they advised us in; hence— they fulfill their headship unto us— and we fulfill our vessel/student/child relationship who follows after them— with our actions that align with their headship.

Let us offer sacrifice, obedience, follow through, and actions unto the Lord God: the one true God and Father of us— in Jesus Christ: for any other head upon us— is a devil, an usurper of the one true God’s position and relationship to us as our headship.  Let us pay homage to the proper and only Head over all of creation— in our offerings to Him, and our sacrifices/obediences/gifts/talents we lay down of our lives to Him.

• The Burnt [or ascending] Offering/sacrifice (this is devotional— total consecration).

In Jesus Christ— we are to exemplify his life, call forth the Divine Expression of God in us— as vessels of the Lord God and his Spirit, way, and truth.  We are to devote our entire beings to his way— which is that of righteousness; and we are to devote our entire beings in every way, word, action, and belief— to be set apart or holy, and out from the world and spirit(s) of.  We are to consecrate our inner and outer selves to the Lord God— entirely— whilst alive in this realm; if we are servants of the Most High God, who do the will of the Father and Creator of us: and this is to be fully set apart— which is what a priest is— unto God.  And we are called priests, a royal priesthood, actually.  And it is priests and lambs, before kings and authority figures.  And this comes by sanctification and consecration in ‘becoming’ a Burnt Offering or Sacrifice unto the Lord God.

A refined, in the Refiner’s fire— sacrificial life— unto the Lord God’s purposes in the earth realm— which is to bring the gospel of the good news of the Messiah, what was accomplished on Calvary, to give every person an opportunity to choose to exalt God, righteousness, holiness, the way, truth, and life of God— through Jesus Christ the King of kings and Lord of lords, and Creator and God of us.

This is an action and training of becoming a royal priest; as we watch, study, learn under, are disciplined and tested and tried— under our High Priest, at the place of the altar of God in heaven; walked out— in our earthly soul lives— here in the realm of the earth: unto God— AND— the brethren: as all priests make sacrifices unto God on behalf of the people of God.

We shall be called to do the same in our priestly training and equipping: and at the culmination of our maturation— shall we come forth imbued and endowed with power and authority on high, in his name being exalted within us; as we lay ourselves down to bear the burden of the brethren— unto the Lord God, in the earth: as priests do.

• The Grain Offering/sacrifice (this is thanksgiving— of produce and labor and sustenance).  It was of fine flour, oil, and frankincense, often for thanksgiving or sustenance for priests.  A portion was burned on the altar, the rest went to priests.  Now, unto us, in the New Testament and Covenant of life in Messiah (the Word of God, way and truth), we are called to lay food upon the altar of the Lord as well: that sustenance is to be given to God in exchange for the Bread of Life: and that food unto him— is in fasting of literal foods that feed the flesh; as well as the giving up of feeding self (or self sufficiency) in this world— to be fed of the Life of God in all ways.

There is always an offering of food or sustenance (sustaining influence) to be given to a god/God at an altar.  For us, spiritually, this is at the heart and soul— that the body will carry out: either we are laying down food to our bellies— or we are laying down a grain offering to the Lord God in thanksgiving, and to gain his sustenance— over self sustaining of the flesh.

We are trading one for the other.  It is not if we fast or sacrifice for God and brethren— but when: and we cannot fill ourselves with the Bread of Life (Jesus, the way and truth) if we are full of flesh food, or another food and sustenance; nor can we serve the brethren by example of the Word of God— if we shall not surrender to him and his way: a food sacrifice is required of a priestly laid down life.

• The Peace Offering/sacrifice (fellowship and thanksgiving), vow fulfillment, and a spontaneous expression of love, goodwill, and dedication to the Spirit of the living God.  The peace offering was a sacrifice in order to make peace, and be united, and be moving in the Spirit of love and truth toward one another— bringing forth the fruit attributes and nature of God himself.  And remember— with every sacrifice— something of self must die or be remitted.  So as where there was not peace— an offering could be made unto God— to restore the peace amongst the people of God.  A sacrificial offering, now, spiritually speaking— would be to move with the Lord God in ways of fulfilling our priestly duties toward God and our brethren: offering ourselves, cloak and shirt— if a man asks or has need of something; preferring one another over ourselves— thus to be those who ‘make peace’ in the way of God.  

• The Sin Offering/sacrifice (atonement for unintentional sin).  Imagine a man, woman, or child— sinning against God but not realizing it.  The Lord Jesus (who does intercede for us always as high priest) understands this, and is merciful; but do note— consequences still play out in the realm of the earth: for we must learn from what we couple with, and which kingdom we are truly working from in exaltation.  

So— if this be the case— and we have, say, loved ones doing this that we truly care about, even in the body of Christ; what is a man to do?  Well, work the priesthood duties exemplified of Christ Jesus— that we have learned, as we have studied under him, and watched him: we lay our lives down as a proxy— like he did in earth, and even still does for us— through his own life.

We can carry our brother’s burden— we can intercede— which, essentially means— interject something righteous of the Lord’s lead and doing— unto their very lives: for they know not what they do, nor how their actions and affiliations shall affect them; but we do; and we can do something with YahShua at the altar on behalf of their lives— that shall benefit them.

Now— every man must choose for himself to work with the Word of God in exaltation— or to usurp him, disrespect him, and disobey his Spirit.  But— the passionate prayer of a righteous man avails much— it succeeds much in the way of a priestly proxy.

A proxy is one who will stand in for another.  We can do that, spiritually speaking, for a man who knows not what they do in transgression against the Lord God— as they uphold the ways and kingdom of darkness in evil actions.  The Lord cannot override a man’s freewill— but he also must answer his servants' prayers and petitions before him— as they serve him and his kingdom in the earth.  And should a man lay down his life for another— well— there is no greater love than this.  And a sacrifice can come forward.

In this— a proxy, a priest doing priestly duties— can ask to stand before the Advocate and Judge— and plead guilty, agreeing with his accuser swiftly— in a court case in heaven; so as to plead guilty and ask for the mercies of the Lord to be applied to the transgressor’s life.  In this case— the person we are re-presenting to the Lord God— through our admission and petition— on behalf of them.

In this— the Lord God can begin to move on behalf of another’s life who is in transgressions toward him— because another has taken spiritual responsibility for this individual— through a sin offering/sacrifice atonement (or way of making at-one-ment again— between this person and God; because a priest of his steps up to make this offering on behalf of their life in heaven’s courts).

This— is great love— that a man lay down his life— for a friend: that is the call of the priesthood; and how, spiritually speaking, the sin offering/sacrifice is walked out— unto another’s sinful conditions; so breakthrough, the witness of the Lord, the breaking off of the demonic through the Blood of the Lamb, the decree of the Lord from the bench of heaven’s courts, and of the voice of the Advocate who fights on behalf of the will of God toward mankind— in justice— comes forth in another man’s life— who is being interceded for.

And because he is just— he must give a man what he sows— or unless another man lays down his life for a friend— as a proxy priest.  THEN— can the Lord fulfill mercy toward this individual— until he seeks it for himself in his heart, mind, and life.

• The Guilt or Trespass Offering (reparations for specific wrongs or defilement).  This sacrifice was done when someone realized that they had done wrong against God or another; and the priest was seeking to make a sacrifice for this wrongdoing— on behalf of the people.  

Now, what can we spiritually do in these situations— we can come forward with the fruit of the Spirit, by the lead of the Spirit of God— and bring forth the person and Word of God.  You see— we, as conduits, as vessels of the living God— well— we first unite with the living God— then we unite others to the living God— through our lives.  We bring him forth to minister himself, the way, truth, and life— to those who are lost, blind, or in need of a physician, or the mercies of God.

It is truly Christ that saves— but he chooses, the Lord God chooses, to use his servants— the priests and prophets, and sons of God.  He chooses to couple with us, in willingness of heart— to bring forth the 7 spirits of God— to help to tutor others in the way to go; as well as extend mercy, grace, love, knowledge, understanding, wisdom and counsels of— via his Spirit, and his Spirit being feared or exalted: that is where we come in— if we are available to God and brethren— when they need to repent.

It is the offering or sacrifice of our time, heart, knowledge base with God, and the use of our vessel by God— in the very moments— so as others shall come clean in the way, truth, and life of Jesus Christ— the Word of God.

This is the offering of our person, directly, to individuals who are in need of a physician, or comforter, counselor, or savior— right then and there; who will allow the Spirit of the living God to come forward and meet these persons straight on: it only requires death to self: self plans, time, devotion, comforts, desires, will, and ways.

This is the guilt or trespass offering that priests (servants) of the Lord still present to God and brethren— in the Order of Melchizedek (the ordering of, and priesthood members of, the heavenly servants of the High Priest of us).

• The Wave Offering or sacrifice (unto exaltation of God, dedication, gratitude, set apart).  This was done to wave toward God (of a laid down priest’s life) a set apart dedication and consecration to the Lord God.  This shall be shown in all of us— when we shall make active deeds/actions toward the Lord, with proclamations and utterances of a desire (and follow-through) to be set apart unto the Lord God in all ways, will, desires, pursuits, character and integrity of, dedication, spiritual laws upheld, truth upheld, righteousness upheld (and kept clean and ironed out), wholly given to the Lord God for his use and exaltation in the realm of the spirit, soul, and body: holy unto God, and as God (in the life of the Son of man, Jesus Christ).

This is waving a savory sent right into the nostrils of God above— as he takes in this kind of laid down, converted, sanctified, consecrated, and commission life vessel— who is given to exaltation of the Word of God himself, the Holy Spirit’s leading and teaching, and the Father and Creator of us all.

This is the priestly wave offering or sacrificial life— dedicated to the Lord God in all ways of exaltation, gratitude, and holiness: a life presented to God in the form and likeness of the Son of man— in the brethren born after him: waving this aroma, intercession, work/deeds, words/speech, fruits, and character— in servitude of the way, the truth, and life of Jesus Christ— before the face of our Father: it is a life who has not forgotten the face of their Father, Creator, and God of us.

These all relate to the servant sons of God (who learned to obey his Spirit, and thus are called friends of God) in sacrificial offering unto the body of Christ in the earth— as servants of the order of Melchizedek. And there are a few short things that I will speak about the garments and the anointing ordination of the priests, as like Aaron and his sons by Moses, at this time— that is related to this post and teaching of the offerings and sacrifices of the priests— unto their God and brethren, and those are these: Leviticus chapter 8.

• The anointing and ordination:  there is always a sacrifice needed of innocence, in a flesh lamb or bull— for man to become an ordained and anointed priest of the Lord: in our case— one and final sacrifice of the Lamb of God, Jesus Christ: and his blood and life must be sprinkled and consumed to sanctify and consecrate the priests (little priests) in position and duty.

• The anointing, ordination, and confession goes before the congregation: all shall know that a priest has been anointed and ordained of God— publicly, for ministry unto him (as set apart), and unto the brethren: there is a public confession and emphasis of duty as a bond-servant of the Lord— as the Lord has him anointed and ordained for such a purpose.  As with our baptisms of water to consecrate our lives unto the Lord— we make a public confession before the Lord God to serve him and his house/kingdom forevermore.  In the same way, in one form or another— as we choose to serve the Lord God as a priest— we also declare this before our brethren of the assembly (church) of called out ones: and declare our intentions to be set apart unto God, sanctified and cleansed by his truth and righteousness, and anointed with the anointing oil of his crushing and pleasing life before the Father (as the Head is anointed— and that is our Lord God, Jesus Christ— in his Headship over us— as Elohim Supreme); as we carry our cross the same as He.  We, as well serve God and family as the Lord God himself does— and gives his life for his friends: this is a set apart private and public confession unto God and kingdom/family —unto the service of God, under God’s leadership: these are the bond-servants/priests of the Lord God.

• Immediately there is a washing of sanctification that takes place after confession and proclamation of laying one’s life down to serve the Lord God in his priesthood: this is the washing of the Word of God (person of) in and unto our lives— to prepare us to be set apart servants of the Lord: we must come into the truth by him, and be made clean by the washing of the Word of God (his cleansing us and bringing us into all truth): this is coming into agreement to serve his Head(ship), obey him, and unify with his Spirit (under his Spirit): this is to choose to serve a god/God— the one true God— by unifying with his person in the way, truth, and his life.  

• There is always a garment change— when one comes to serve the Lord God as his priest.  I will not go into the whole of the garment (as I have done this before in videos and teachings), but I will mention the stones upon the shoulders of the priest’s garment; because they carry the names of the tribes of the people of God: that is the emphasis.  As priests we shall offer unto God, and sacrifice unto God and brethren in the realm of our souls in the earth— when we shall move as servants of the Lord, as his priests.

We shall carry our brothers and sisters, serve them, lay down our lives to God in order to do this— just as our Lord and Savior— the Lamb— exemplified to us in becoming sacrificial lives of love— unto our brethren and God of us: we shall carry them always in exaltation (upon our shoulders), just under the Head(ship) which is God.  We shall be moved in service by the Lord God as our Head (and I mean that literally— like we have no head without an Elohim to be our Head— and no other god— but the true God).  And we shall carry the burden (hardships and lives) of our brethren upon our shoulders— in a double yoke of duty— in the Lord God (who shall do the heavy lifting as we carry them): we shall not forsake the assembly— but we shall bear with them in sacrifice— as YahShua demonstrated of his own life.

• There is a reconciliation made between God and his servant.  In all of the pomp and circumstance of the old testament order of procedure; it was truly to see, spiritually, what the Lord was desiring to teach us: that the purpose of the priesthood itself— is to make reconciliation unto God again with man; and that there is a people who are dedicated to doing this work/duty unto the people of God’s creation: a people who desire to serve the Lord God themselves— and then make sacrifice for others at the altar of God (like our High Priest), lay their lives down— for others to come into the fold, through the Door, and receive reconciliation (salvation) unto the Lord God as well: these are they who serve the Lord God in heaven and earth— to assist in the reconciliation (the re-paired relationship between man and his God in righteousness and truth).

• The Lamb is killed to make reconciliation and the ear, hands, and feet of the priest become anointed with his life and cleansed in the earth: the tip of the right ear, the right thumb, and the right big toe.  What does this spiritually signify to us?  The right ear— a bond-servant by the life of the Messiah/Headship/Lamb of God— in service to him at his altar.  The right thumb— all that he puts his hand to— shall be the works/deeds/duties/actions of the Lord God, in service to Him and his kingdom/family.  His right big toe— that his walk in the earth shall be upon and in the right foundation of righteousness and truth, His life, and in/by the Spirit of the living God— as he walks in holiness (set apart completely unto him).  As well— the garments of this man/servant are sprinkled in the blood of the Lamb— as we wear his robe— we know this to be true; and are called to keep ourselves clean in his righteousness, and ironed out: for in this— we stay true to our God and adulterate the relationship not (or otherwise known as— commit adultery against this union— and serve/sacrifice unto another elohim/spirit/god/head over us).

• There is a wave offering, a pleasant burnt offering that ascends unto the Lord God, of their very lives— as they come through the Refiner’s fire in sanctification (washing of their lives in the Word of God himself, that transforms their lives from the old man— into the new: His/Him.)  As a wave offering is the life of the priests themselves that ascends on the Son of man— straight to the throne and altar of God— where the Lamb presides over God’s people.  This wave offering of their very sacrificial lives pleases the Father of us— in Jesus Christ— as more sons come through the conversion, and return to the likeness of the Son/Lamb— with their laid down sacrificial, servitude unto God, righteousness, and the truth— lives: this wave offering signifies before all— that this man is set apart unto God by fire: the fire of the Lord God himself in his workmanship erect and alive within man (which is Christ Jesus).

Truly, the workmanship (perfect man) of God— is Christ Jesus himself: hence— when Christ be formed in us— the workmanship is complete/whole/perfected: the one new man— Christ Jesus— and life in and of him.

• And lastly, there is always flesh and bread that is to be eaten by the priest being anointed, sanctified, consecrated, and ordained into the priesthood— in our case— the Order of Melchizedek, by YahShua Ha Mashiach: the Bread of life (all he consists of in righteousness and truth to be eaten) which is the flesh of the Lamb that we consume (take into us).  There is always flesh or bread that is eaten in covenant agreement with an elohim/Elohim— either a devil or the Lord God as a headship: the flesh nature— and thereby a devil as a head, or the Lord God in righteousness, holiness (set apart, sanctified, and consecrated in righteousness and truth) —as in eating the flesh of the Lamb, or Bread of Life, and drinking his blood— or taking in his holy, righteous life— into us.

Every priest shall be ruled by his headship as we bow to him of the desire of our hearts to do so in gladness, be sanctified and cleansed in his Word, truth, and life— by his sacrifice and example as we follow him…. 

As we consecrate ourselves unto him— before men (in public confession of being set apart unto service to him as a bond-servant).... 

As we have a change of garments— sprinkled by his life, truth, righteousness, carrying (as he does) the people of God in exaltation of their lives (lifting them).... 

As we make reconciliations with God individually— and then work on behalf of the rest of the brethren’s lives (the kingdom family) in the earth…. 

As we have our right hand (what we put ourselves to of the Lord’s business in the earth— for ‘he is’ the Right Hand of God and the priests), our right foot(ing) —as he is the Elohim Supreme, our Head that we follow in the earth upon the gospel of peace (or reconciliation with God again through Messiah) on the right foundation, and our ear— in bond-servant-hood to serve Him as High Priest forevermore (the Lamb and Leader of the priests of God).... 

As we wave our sacrificial, laid down, cross carrying— flesh death— lives to him as a sweet savor before the face of our Father, Lord, King, Savior— and High Priest of our confession; as we eat of the Bread of Life— as we take in his substance— eat of his flesh: the way, truth, and life of Him.

Because, truly, the workmanship (perfect man) of God— is Christ Jesus himself: hence— when Christ be formed in us— the workmanship is complete/whole/perfected: the one new man— Christ Jesus— and life in and of him.  It’s always about Him— service unto him, exaltation of him, and the glory (or esteeming of him in his dignity/royalty/holiness) of Him: as the vessels yield to him and do glorify him in the souls of men: these— are the reverent servants of the Lord— who truly see him in his holiness— and that there is none even close to him (as set apart unto God as he abides in heaven and earth— high above all): these are those who continually bow before him to esteem him into his proper place— in his proper glory: for only men who seek their own glory— speak of themselves: but those who seek the esteem of the one who sent them— do glorify (display God in his proper position and state of being before men and angels) and speak of God in their lives; and do serve him in heart and life.

It is truly YahShua/Jesus Christ, Yehoshua— who walked all these things out to demonstrate the way, the truth, and the kind of life we are to live unto God— and to serve him— as the ultimate sacrificial LIfe/Lamb, who is now the High Priest of us— who does lead us at the altar; who walked out a sacrificial life as a Lamb— before he walked out a King role of authority and leadership/exemplification of life unto others, and over others— who leads us in this very same order.

It is truly he who is the Burnt sacrifice (Olah) flawless on the altar, complete surrender, devotion, and atonement for unintentional sin.  As well as— the Grain Sacrifice (Minchah): An offering of fine flour, oil, and frankincense (the best bread there is— the Bread of Life— the sustenance of Life itself).  The Peace Sacrifice (Shelamim): A voluntary fellowship offering (a spotless Lamb), a portion for priests, and a communal meal shared by the worshipper, family, and priests, symbolizing peace and communion.  The Sin Sacrifice (Chattat): An offering for unintentional sins, to cleanse the sanctuary and atone for sin (that’s us).  The Guilt/Trespass Offering/Sacrifice (Asham): For specific sins involving wrongdoing against others or things requiring restitution; a Lamb was offered for atonement. 

And it is truly he who is the exemplification of the priests and the garments they wear, the blood that is sprinkled, the bread that is consumed, the holiness and righteousness that is exemplified, the headship that is heeded, the Elohim Supreme to follow after, the Word of truth and sanctification that burns with holy fire of God to refine us into his image once again (as he is the true workmanship of God in form and likeness returned— as the 2nd Adam in whom we are changed and come into by him), the consecrated Life unto the Father— who professed before all men in whom he was sent and served as a bonded-servant of the Father and his will, who carries the people of God— to make reconciliation (bridging) back to a re-paired life in him unto God again for man, who is the Right Hand of God— who was anointed, walked in righteousness with the right footing foundation in the truth and ways of God, whose hands were anointed and carried out the works of God, whose ear was anointed and marked for service unto the Father and Creator of us, whose life was/is a continual wave offering of the set apart life unto the Father and Creator of us— for all of eternity— as the completed man, perfected man, whole and holy man of God:  and all priests study under him, serve him and then the brethren— as he does, and become a sweet savor (in him) unto the Father and Creator of us in like same as He.  

HE IS THE PERFECTED WORKMANSHIP OF THE FATHER AND SPIRIT OF THE LIVING GOD— IN THE REALM OF THE EARTH, EXEMPLIFIED UNTO ALL BROTHERS WHO SHALL BE BORN AGAIN AFTER HIM IN HIS LIKENESS AND IMAGE.

It’s always about Him— and his priests do esteem him in the earth (souls and lives of men).  For we are they who seek the esteem of the one who sent us— and do glorify (display God in his proper position, state of being, and name— before men and angels) and speak of Him on our lips, and from our hearts and lives: we do serve him in heaven and earth.

It is truly the Lord God himself that IS ALL THESE OFFERINGS AND SACRIFICES, THE LIFE, THE WAY, THE TRUTH, THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD, AND THE EXAMPLE TO ALL SONS OF GOD AND SERVANTS OF THE LORD.  But he does desire to move through his vessels and servants, sons who obey him and his Spirit, and the will of the Father— to fulfill his life toward others— via the priesthood: vessels of honor— who do honor and obey the Word of God, the High Priest, and the Father of us— through the exaltation of the Holy Spirit within— who shall show us the way to lay ourselves down to God and the brethren.  

“And the priest shall make atonement for him and his sin.”  Leviticus 4:12, 5:13

The Lord Jesus does this— but we can give ourselves over to God and kingdom/brethren— and we can sacrifice, we can love, we can counsel, we can bring him forth to witness himself to all; and we can exemplify the return to his image as predestined sons to come through the conversion— following him in all his ways: we can serve as he did and does. 

We can bring him forward to atone— as a priest does: we can sacrifice our time, focus, comforts, desires, will, ways, works/deeds, and words— to those whom the Lord has need to minister unto: this is the Order of Melchizedek— and the way of the High Priest— and his example, life, and truth lived: no greater love is there than this— but lay down one's life for his friends: this is the High Priest, these are his royal priests, and this is his way.

Lambs— before kings.  Sacrifice— before authority or promotion to serve more people in servanthood and position of —in the kingdom of God.

Leviticus 7:37-38

“This is the law of the burnt offering, of the meat offering, and of the sin offering, and of the trespass offering, and of the consecrations, and of the sacrifice of the peace offerings; which the Lord commanded Moses in mount Sinai, in the day that he commanded the children of Israel —to offer their oblations [H7133: altar sacrifice presents] unto the Lord, in the wilderness of Sinai.”

John 20:22, 23

“And he breathed on them and said: Receive ye the holy ghost.

Whosoever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whosoever sins ye retain, they are retained.”

This was when the Lord God was commissioning his disciples, or disciplined ones: Jesus sent His disciples forward to preach— just as the Father sent Him.  And proclaiming forgiveness: when they would preach the message of Jesus Christ (the gospel) and people would accept it through faith— the minister could declare those sins forgiven (or remitted).

There is authority through the gospel— or the testimony of Christ Jesus: The power to ‘remit’ or ‘retain’ sins comes from the message of the gospel itself: accepting it brings forgiveness— while rejecting it leaves sins unforgiven.  There is much we can do to help these situations and people who are blind and deaf, dead and lost; as we have seen above— in the sacrifices of the Lamb, as he brings forth the sacrifices of the Royal Priesthood— in his servants the priests, in the realm of the earthen souls of men— sent forth of his rule and kingdom.

God is the one ultimately acting to forgive or retain sins, confirming the declarations made by His messengers. 

__________________________________

He is esteemed above all

__________________________________

The second is blessed/esteemed over the first.  We saw this time and time again in scripture: the second Adam— is Christ Jesus: a living spirit now, and we in him— the same.  In John the Baptist— he said— he who comes after me— I am not worthy to even unlatch or latch his shoe: the second— esteemed above the first pioneering one.  Jacob— over Esau, Isaac over Ishmael, Joseph over his brothers, Ephraim over Manasseh, David over his older brothers, Able and Seth over Cain…

We see a pattern established: it is not that we should remain as like the first Adam— but now live in Christ Jesus— the second, who is preferred over us: not the vessel— but the living Spirit within each man who exalts him, and is his child: the exaltation of the second Adam— the man vessel led of the Living Spirit himself.

This illustrates a theme— God’s sovereign choice and order— over birth in the earth.  God’s ultimate Omega plan— over the genesis beginning.  God’s resurrected image over the marred one from the onset: rebirth— in the earth (man’s soul and sound whole).

This recurring pattern shows the Father’s focus on the character of his people, and His divine purpose, rather than birth order: and Blood is thicker than water.

“Blood is thicker than water:”  this has commonly meant that family bonds are stronger than other relationships, justifying loyalty to relatives.  However, the original, and fuller proverb reveals the opposite— and means: "The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb," meaning chosen bonds (covenant, and covenant upholding people) are stronger bonds (3 strand cord, actually) than earth-birth family ties, highlighting chosen and adopted family and community— over water born earth-birth: the birthing of new life in Christ Jesus— is the strongest brother and sister bonds of all: blood of the covenant family.

These are the things the Lord has been speaking to me about, and I have delivered them to you.

There ought not be many teachers— and for good reason: most do not bring the Teacher himself forward to teach in all manner of speech— in all situations, and unto all people; though claim to move and operate in his name: and this cursing and blessing, or evil and life giving— out of the same mouth and person (from the heart) ought not be so.

The priesthood is more than a title— it’s a role, duty, position, intimacy with the high Priest, and a maturation process— that is already in play.  I hope this enlightens you a bit more to the ways in which the priesthood in Christ Jesus operates— in the souls of men in heaven and earth— unto the Father’s will in Christ Jesus (and his priests).

Blood covenant— is thicker than water birth; and the second is blessed and exalted above the first: let us bring forth Christ Jesus— the Alpha (before we were— he was), and the Omega (after we have died— he shall still be— and we in him— if we yield and give way to the Second Adam): there is truly only him: and all who serve him— shall give way to the Blood, the High Priest, the Lamb— who is now High King; and who shall raise up little kings under him as well— upon completion of understanding, studying in, and obeying him as High Priest of our confession, Order, and Ministry in heaven and earth.

Thank God for the Lamb!!! 

Who is now High King!!! 

Who is also— our High Priest— and Savior of us!!!

ALL GLORY, HONOR, AND PRAISE TO OUR KING AND LORD— and FATHER OF US!!!

May we allow Christ to come forward in us, stand up in maturity as he raises us in the way, truth, and his life— via the Holy Spirit of God; so that we usher him forward to meet his people in all his person— to redeem them, save them, heal them, and reconcile them to the uttermost— unto God once again.  May we reveal the Word of God to all men— for we usher him up and forward in us all: may we become his vessels of honor, priestly, clean/sanctified, consecrated, and devoted unto him in holiness.

Then, Father, may we see what Christ leads us into— in authority, as little kings of his kingdom— led of the High King himself: YahShua Ha Mashiach, Jesus the Christ, Lord of Lords and King of all kings: he is the highest authority and dominion, throne and principal one there is!!!

ALL GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST!!!!

May we serve you this day and every day— Maker, Creator, and Savior of us.  Amen.
