Preface
The mission of the church is to rule and reign with Jesus now. Jesus desire is to demonstrate His king-priest ministry through the church. The priest prays and repents for nations, cities, governments, and people. The priest approaches the Father by means of the blood of Jesus for the needs of sinful nations and individuals. The king on the other hand uses his Christ given authority. The church has a responsibility to destroy evil and to establish the kingdom of God in the earth. The church has the responsibility to turn the political system and schools back to God. This book does not deal with end time theory. The focus of this book is to find the pulse of the Spirit for today. King-Priest deals with Jesus reign on earth as a king and a priest through the believers.

King-Priest
Jesus can only reign as His children yield their spirits and minds to Him.
I Corinthians 15:25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.
It seems that the body of Christ is birthing the millennium which will be fully manifest with His return. Dramatic changes will be made government and business by your prayers. in
The body of Christ will begin to turn society to the Lord. In the midst of this there probably will be great conflict and great battle. Satan does not want to turn loose, but he will.
Introduction
The theme of the book is "occupy." Let Him work out the details. At times it may seem as if the teaching is leaning too far in one direction. Have enough wisdom to discern what the Holy Ghost is saying. This book is to get you started in your kingpriest ministry. The end time teachings in this book are flexible. God can work it out in His wisdom. God will not be put in a mold by mans dogmas. God is free to do what He wants to do. It is entirely possible that we delay the return of Jesus with erroneous doctrines. He will eventually accomplish His will. Take the spirit of the book and bring the kingdom of God to this earth in a more powerful way than it has been in the past. It is your responsibility to turn your nation to God. You must not fail this generation.

King-Priest
This is probably the most demanding and critical hour in the history of the church. During these days we will probably participate in the greatest spiritual harvest since Adam. It is possible that entire nations will be led to Jesus by their rulers. We may very well see nations that disdain the name and blood of Jesus become strong witnesses. Do not yield to inertia or sleep today. You are to reign as kings in this earth. It is your responsibility to turn the governments to godliness and to holiness. I have confidence that when I pray, God is ruling the world through me. This is not arrogance or rebellion. It is God given authority. I know that I am releasing Jesus to do what He wants to do. I know that when I pray, I am moving the courts, the judges, the political world, the schools, and all of society. Jesus does not call His king-priests to prayer just to kill time or lose sleep.

Introduction During the past years of consistent and persistent prayer, the body of Christ has seen God move kingdoms. He will achieve even greater things.
Chapter One
1
The Ministry of the Priest

All of Gods People Are Priests
The duties of the priest are varied, but an essential part of their responsibilities includes intercession and repentance. Our discussion of the king and priest will sometimes overlap, because the ministry overlaps. In the king chapter your authority will be emphasized rather than intercession. Kings cannot take authority over evil in any given situation without first forgiving the individuals involved. That is the ministry of the priest..
Revelation 1:6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him [be] glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. I Peter 2:5 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood.... Exodus 19:6 Ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests ... these are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel. 11
King-Priest
In both the New and Old Covenant all of Gods people are priests. Each covenant had the office of the priest as well as the priesthood of every individual in the entire body. In the New Covenant the ministers purpose is to bring all the believers (priests) to the fullness of the High Priest, Jesus.
Ephesians 4:13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ:
The entire priesthood is being moved toward the full priestly ministry of Jesus. Jesus is our high priest. Since we are to duplicate His ministry, it is only natural that we, too, are priests. Jesus now desires to live His priestly ministry through us. Receive priesthood. a fresh revelation of your
You are learning to obey His voice. This is the ministry of the priest.
12
The Ministry of the Priest Jesus is over the nations. So are you. He is responsible for righteousness in the land. So are you. You are His agent. When you pray, Jesus in you gives you instructions on how to run His kingdom. He will accomplish what He puts in your heart to pray and to say. Through years of prayer, I have personally seen this in operation. Most of your ruling will come after you have been faithful in your prayer life.
Duties of a Priest
Throughout the history of the church the priest has had various duties. Often he was like a general and led Israel in battle. The kings consulted the priests for battle strategy. Sometimes the priest was a prophet and guided the nation by delivering the anointed, prophetic word. The priests primary responsibility has always been prayer and intercession.
13
King-Priest
Revelation Ministry of the Priest

Because the priest can yield into the supernatural, there is no end to his ministry. It will cover every phase of life. Jesus walked in harmony with what the Father whispered in His ear. As you, the priest, learn to walk in the spirit, your priestly ministry will know no bounds. There is a strong possibility that some of you will bless the world with great inventions. This will also include the ability to market them. Some of you may very well become extremely successful business men far beyond your previous expectation. Some in the world will fear and hate Jesus more and more. Others will join you and become a part of the greatest move of God ever witnessed by man. What an exciting hour we are birthing.
Imparting the Anointing

Paul and other brethren imparted spiritual
14
The Ministry of the Priest gifts to Timothy by the laying on of hands.

I Timothy 4:14 Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.
Paul longed to go to Rome so that he could impart anointings to them. He was very much aware of the power of the resurrected Christ within him. He knew he could impart it.
Romans 1:11 For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established;
Power flows from the priesthood whether it is the ordained priesthood or individual believer. Believers are now operating in this to a measure, but as this new wave breaks more and more upon the shore, you will see dramatic demonstrations of the imparting of Gods mantel to people. Revivals will sweep through businesses, and corporations. cities,
You priests are the light of the world. You carry Jesus the only light. This light flows out of you.
15
King-Priest
Right now your life is a great blessing to your world. Your presence changes their lives. Each day you live until the coming of Jesus this anointing will increase. The earth may shake, rock, and roll with the effects of sin, but our God reigns in the midst of it all. He is bringing forth His church. In just a few short years, Jesus was able to transfer His anointing to His disciples. They took this anointing, and in a short period of time attained such respect from the government that the officials turned from persecuting the Christians to making Christianity the state church.
The Awesome Power of God Flows From a Priest to Others

Exodus 17:11 And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.
When Moses, the priest, raised his hands in prayer, God moved. When his hands dropped, God stopped.
16
The Ministry of the Priest When you lift up those priestly hands, God flows out to humanity. This verse shows clearly the release of power in priestly prayer. You are hooked up to an awesome God. He has His sword girded upon His thigh and you release this sword of Jesus as you pray in the authority of God Almighty. (Psalm 45:3) God has the compassion of a father, and He weeps for the nations. He is concerned about people. You must be very concerned about people. He is concerned about righteousness and good government. You must be concerned about the same. If you, as a priest, do not flow with His compassion, you limit His moving in the world today. The responsibility of billions of souls rests upon you as His priest in this day. As you travail over a nation, it is Jesus in you travailing. God has chosen you, His priest, to reach this generation.
17
King-Priest
He desires to release an anointing in you that even Paul did not enjoy. Do not fail this generation.
Praying for the Full Unveiling of the Jesus Ministry

Ephesians 1:17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:
Intercede for yourself as well as the entire church. Make this confession: The Father of Glory is giving to me the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Jesus. I am walking in the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the full knowledge and operation of Jesus. Pray the same prayer and make the same confession for the entire church.
Priests Have Power to Intercede and Change Governments

You are responsible for praying for your
18
The Ministry of the Priest government.

I Timothy 2:1-21 exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, [and] giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and [for] all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
As you intercede for mankind with prayer and repentance, you can turn governments, courts, politicians, and the morals of a nation back to God. Regardless of how dark things may appear; you must continue to intercede and break the powers of darkness that surround and control your nation. As you forgive your politicians for their greed and evil, you are releasing Gods blessing to them. Each time you do this you are placing good Spirits, and angelic hosts around them. These act as a deterrent to evil. The more you bless them, the more powerful the kingdom of God becomes in the land. You are opening the door for God to either
19
King-Priest
move in the politicians heart or replace him.
Priests Can Change Gods Word by Prayer

Prior to the Babylonian conquest of Israel, God called His people to prayer. The purpose of the prayer was to change a course previously prophesied.
Joel 2:12 Therefore also now, saith the LORD, turn ye [even] to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mounting: Joel 2:13... Turn unto the LORD your God: for he [is] gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil.
In this verse the Lord reminded them of His mercy. On the other hand the priest is to intercede and remind God of His mercy and compassion. Because of Gods mercy, the priest has power and authority to ask the Lord to reconsider and perhaps repent or change His mind concerning the prophesied judgment.
20

Joel 2:14 Who knoweth [if] he will return and repent..
God makes it clear that man, through prayer, can influence the Lord to change some of His plans. This happened when Jonah preached to Nineveh. They repented. God altered His plans and did not destroy the city at that time.
Moses Changed Gods Word Several Times by Prayer

Several times during the leadership of Moses, God contemplated the complete destruction of the children of Israel. On each occasion Moses interceded and it appeared that he almost demanded that God change His plans. In each case God submitted to Moses, the priest. In reality Moses was yielding to the mercy nature of God and interceding for the people. This compassion did not originate with Moses.
Calf Worship
While Moses was on the mountain receiving
21
King-Priest
the law from God, the people began to worship the golden calf. This brought great trouble upon the people. Gods anger was ready to consume them.
Exodus 32:10 Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may wax hot against them, and that I may consume them: and I will make of thee a great nation.
Moses then asked the Lord to cool His anger and to reconsider His plans to destroy His people.
Exodus 32:11 And Moses besought the LORD his God, and said, LORD, why doth thy wrath wax hot against thy people, which thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power, and with a mighty hand?
Moses reminded God that the nations would laugh and make jokes about the God who tried and failed. Moses practically commanded the Lord to repent and change His plans.
Exodus 32:12 Wherefore should Egyptians speak, and say, For mischief he bring them out, to slay them in mountains, and to consume them from 22 the did the the

face of the earth? Turn from thy fierce wrath, and repent of this evil against thy people.
The next verse shows what a powerful roll the priest plays in Gods plan of redemption.
Exodus 32:14 And the LORD repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people.
As Moses prayed, he yielded to the priest side of Gods nature. God used the priest side of His own nature to counteract His wrath nature. The priestly nature buffeted and cooled Gods wrath nature. This shows the awesomeness of the power you can utilize in intercession.
Rebellion at Kadesh
In Numbers 14 Gods people were again in rebellion against God and Moses. Because of Israels anarchy and sin, God informed Moses that He would eliminate all of Israel and produce a family from Moses posterity.
Numbers 14:12 I will smite them with the 23
King-Priest pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of thee a greater nation and mightier than they.
Again Moses arbitrated and reminded God of His mercy. Moses requested the Lord to pardon Israel. God submitted and changed His plans.
Numbers 14:17-20 And now, I beseech thee, let the power of my LORD be great, according as thou hast spoken, saying, The LORD [is] longsuffering... Pardon, I beseech thee, the iniquity of this people according unto the greatness of thy mercy... And the LORD said, I have pardoned according to thy word:
The priest has the responsibility of turning Gods wrath nature to His mercy nature.
Korahs Insurrection
Moses interceded for the people when Korah made insurrection against Gods leadership. After Moses defense, God again spared all of the people with the exception of Korah and the 250 ring leaders of this insurrection.
24
The Ministry of the Priest Moses never prayed for them. In fact he told God to ignore their prayers.
Numbers 16:15 And Moses was very angry, and said unto the LORD, Respect not thou their offering....
Then God appeared in His glory and said to Moses:

Numbers 16:21 Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment.
Here was another opportunity for Moses to dispose of this rebellious people, but he did not yield to this temptation. Instead he intervened for them. In response to Moses priestly prayer, God changed His plans and instructed Moses to separate the people from Korah. The people were saved from destruction, but Korah and his family were entombed and the 250 leaders were cremated.
Dim-Witted People
The day following Moses intercession which saved them from Gods wrath, the people, still under the influence of the
25
King-Priest
rebellious spirit of Korah, accused Moses of killing Gods people.

Numbers 16:41... Ye have killed the people of the LORD.
They were so furious because God had annihilated the 250 insurrectionists and Korahs family that they assaulted Moses, Gods priest. Again God came to Moses and commanded him to separate himself from the congregation that He might consume them.
Numbers 16:45 Get you up from among this congregation, that I may consume them as in a moment. And they fell upon their faces.
This time God did not wait for Moses to intercede, He began to consume the rebellious people instantly. Witness the response of the priest.
Numbers 16:46 And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a censer, and put fire therein from off the altar, and put on incense, and go quickly unto the congregation, and make an atonement for them: for there is wrath gone out from the LORD; the plague is begun. Numbers 16:47-48 And Aaron... ran into the 26

midst of the congregation; and, behold, the plague was begun among the people.. And he stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed.
As soon as the priest raised up the censor, God stopped killing the people. The ministry of the priest represented the blood of Jesus that would be shed on Calvary. As soon as the priest applied the blood to the rebellious people, God stopped the plague. The people did not repent. Moses repented for the people without their authorization. When you as a priest weep and repent for your nation or any situation, you open up a way for God to deal with that problem. God is using you to love and forgive people for Him. It is His working in you that does this. This breaks down demonic strongholds and allows God to work on the problem. God is using your priestly ministry to override His anger. There is an awesome power released when you love and forgive. As you continue this week after week and
27
King-Priest
month after month, Gods love and compassion begins to invade the land. The compassion of Christ surrounds the politicians. God begins to move among them. Things you never dreamed possible begin to happen. When you release blessings and not curses, you turn the tide of Gods wrath nature. Crooked and greedy politicians, corrupt judges, and greedy lawyers are the task masters of our generation. Task masters were the slave masters of Egypt. They kept putting more and more burdens on the people until Gods people began to cry out to God for help. The moment Gods people began to repent, God was able to send Moses and deliver them. The church is a major part of the problem today. We must repent for our sins and blindness. This may seem like a conflict in teaching since we have been emphasizing the priest repenting for the congregation. Now we are telling you the church needs to repent also. The priest merely begins the repenting process. God then moves. But for lasting results
28
The Ministry of the Priest the people have to straighten up or be dealt with. Remember when Israel rebelled in Numbers 14, Moses delivered them from instant death by intercession. God then told him how to handle their rebellion. They had to remain 40 years in the desert until the old ones died. Only the young ones were permitted to cross over to the promised land. In the history of Israel there were no task masters when they were walking close to God. When the priests intercede and cry out to God, they can turn the wrath that is coming against the land. This gives the people an opportunity to repent. One man can change things when he repents for himself and for the nation.
I Kings 8:38-39 What prayer and supplication soever be [made] by any man, [or] by all thy people Israel ... Then ... forgive, and do, and give to every man according to his ways..
This verse is dealing with Israel, Gods children. When in sin, one man, or the entire nation, could ask God to lift His wrath and stop the judgment against them.
29
King-Priest
Every time a king like Josiah repented, God invariably lifted His judgment for a period. This gave the people a temporary respite. During this respite many turned to the Lord and Israel experienced a period of prosperity and peace.
The Power of the Priest to Forgive

Jesus
The priestly compassion of Jesus on the cross:
Luke 23:34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do...
Jesus perceived the deceived heart of the people who were crucifying Him. People are blinded by Satan. They see the world through their perverted concepts. They really do not realize the stupidity and the evil that is working in them. When you see the world through the priestly eyes of Jesus, you, too, will say, "Father, forgive them. They know not what they are
30
The Ministry of the Priest doing." This High Priestly prayer is still working through the earthly side of His priesthood. Operating in this priestly compassion is the very heartbeat of the Father flowing through you. This love and compassion which you release will then surround your enemy. You are projecting the nature of God into their atmosphere. They will have to live and sleep with it. It will work on them day and night. When you criticize your politicians, government, or church, you are sending curses. You are surrounding them with demonic spirits. This works with them day and night. You are actually aiding and abetting them in their sins. King-Priests, in the name of Jesus, I command you to wake up and get on the right band wagon. Stop supporting Satan by permitting him to do his dirty work through you. Never allow yourself to speak critically of
31
King-Priest
anyone. Take the spirit of this. There are times when a situation must be handled. In the Epistles, Paul spoke of individuals in sin and dealt with certain problems in the church.
Stephens Death
Acts 7:60 And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep.
In the case of Jesus intercession at the crucifixion and Stephens prayer at his stoning, the priest was making intercession to the Father. God was able to redeem many because of these two prayers. The great revival at Pentecost was a direct result of Jesus prayer. If God had not heard this prayer, He may have destroyed the entire human race. Instead, He sent a revival. In Stephens case, Saul was redeemed. Saul
32
The Ministry of the Priest was the ring leader of those who killed Stephen. God made a preacher out of him, and a great gentile revival followed.
All Priests
Jesus demonstrated the priests power to forgive.
Luke 5:20 And when he saw their faith, he said unto him, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee.
Several men brought a paralytic to Jesus. He recognized their faith. He did not ask the man if he would like to be forgiven of his sins. He told him, "Thy sins are forgiven." This riled the pharisees and they accused Him of blasphemy. In the following verse, Jesus again taught the power of a priest to forgive sins.
John 20:23 Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted...
The word remit means to forgive. When the priest intercedes using the name of Jesus and the blood of Jesus, God is able to do great exploits through him. One man can
33
King-Priest
move a nation or the entire world. As you are led by the Spirit to witness to a sinner, Jesus can and will work directly through you. I have done this many times and been able to bypass the usual questions such as, "Would you like to be saved?" Let me give you an example. A Jewish lady was brought to me by two Christian ladies. "Tell her about Jesus power to heal. Her family is really in need of the healing power of Jesus." "Are you a born again Christian?" I asked her. "Leave her alone. She is an orthodox Jew. Tell her about Jesus power to heal," was the response of the girls who had brought her to me. I ignored these well meaning sisters. I took the Jewish girl by the hand and said, "Pray this prayer." I had her repeat the sinners prayer. Her response was. "Wow!"
34
The Ministry of the Priest Then I said, "Now you are going to receive the Holy Ghost and speak in tongues, your heavenly prayer language." Her response was, "Now." I said, "Yes, now." She began to speak in tongues immediately. When she came down from the shouting and dancing and praising God, her remarks were, "Hallelujah! Thank you, Jesus!" I repeat; a priest does not really forgive sins. Only God can do that. The priest, flowing in the Holy Ghost, is acting on Gods promptings. He is releasing the priestly ministry of Jesus, who lives within. No one can be saved without personally responding to Jesus. God never saves anyone who does not personally desire to be saved. If that had been possible, Jesus could have pronounced forgiveness for all humanity when He was here on earth. To function as a priest you must realize how Jesus operated. He knew what was in man. He was able to deal wisely because of this.
35
King-Priest
He did not ask His disciples if they would like to follow Him. He commanded them to follow Him. They were always ready to do so because He knew how that person would respond. He did not choose those who were not interested. He knew man. As your priestly ministry opens more and more, you will enter into this same level of spiritual understanding. As a priest you should be able to obey the Holy Spirit as Jesus obeyed Him. He was always on target. Peter was able to command the lame man in Acts three to get up and walk. He did not ask God or the man if he wanted to be healed. He commanded him to get up. How did he do this? As Gods priest, he was obeying Jesus. This is also the way he was able to command the lame man in Acts nine to get up and make up his bed and be on his way. Peter did not ask God or the man. Peter knew what the high priest was saying concerning this man.
36

Acts 9:34 And Peter said unto him, AENEAS, Jesus Christ maketh thee whole: arise, and make thy bed. And he arose immediately.
As you obey Him, you will turn your world around, in a dramatic fashion. You will be the most amazed when you see Him using you. We are channels through which Jesus will work. He may have us all working on the same project, without the other being aware of it.
Intercession and Revival

It was always the history of Israel that when she served God, the enemy could not rise up and harm her. When she began to depart from God, God stirred up the adversary to prick her. When the church repents, the entire world is affected. The church can change nations because it is the light of the world.
I Kings 11:14 And the LORD stirred up an adversary unto Solomon, Hadad the
37
King-Priest Edomite...
The priests were commanded to intercede.

Joel 2:17 Let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, O LORD, and give not thine heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: wherefore should they say among the people, Where [is] their God?
God did not deliver the people from the judgment which resulted from their sins until the priest made intercession. These scriptures in Joel were given during the pre-Babylonian captivity period. A few of the priests and people did repent during these days, and God kept sparing the people. The work of the Lord was strengthened. Judgment finally came but only after years of warnings by the prophets. When the church repents, God will always turn her world around. What an honor to take your country to God in prayer and turn it back to holiness. Love and forgiveness are Gods miracle nature.
38
The Ministry of the Priest Use it in your home. Use it on the job. You will turn your world around.
Joel 2:19 Yea, the LORD will answer and say unto his people, Behold, I will send you corn, and wine, and oil, and ye shall be satisfied therewith: and I will no more make you a reproach among the heathen:
In response to the repentance of the priest, God sent love and blessings. His wrath was stopped. Does this sound like Moses when he stopped the wrath nature of God? These scriptures in Joel are two fold. They refer to Gods judgment on Israel at the time of Joel. They also refer to the end time prophesy. The following verse shows this.
Joel 2:10 The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall tremble: the sun and the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining:
This appears to be a prophecy indicating great judgment in the end time directed toward Gods people.
39
King-Priest
The key to understanding that this is end time prophecy is the turmoil in the heavenlies which was not fulfilled during the Babylonian captivity. In response to this, God called for a great prayer meeting. God answered these prayers with restoration. You may study this in following verses.
Joel 2:15 Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly: Joel 2:16 Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders.... Joel 2:17 Let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, O LORD, and give not thine heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: wherefore should they say among the people, Where [is] their God?
Following this great prayer of repentance God began to restore the land.
Joel 2:18 Then will the LORD be jealous for his land, and pity his people. Joel 2:19... Behold, I will send you corn, and
40

wine, and oil, and ye shall be satisfied.... Joel 2:23-24... And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the vats shall overflow with wine and oil. Joel 2:25 And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpillar, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you.
The locust, cankerworm, and caterpillar were great destructive forces sent against them by God. He calls them His army. God sent the destroying army. At the same time He called in the priests to stop His wrath. When the priests responded, great restoration came.
Joel 2:26 And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the LORD your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed.
The great Pentecostal revival which began in Acts was a direct result of priestly intercession. This revival has not ceased. It continues to increase in intensity. It will become stronger as the Great Day of the Lord approaches.
41
King-Priest
As Gods priests continue to intercede and pray, God will do many mighty things among the nations. This verse along with the others in Joel 2 are still in the process of being fulfilled.
Joel 2:28... I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:
Daily I call for a world revival. I deal with each nation as God lays it on my heart. I command these nations to become godly nations. I intercede for these nations that they may come to God. Jesus is doing this through me. I have been doing this daily for many years. I know God will do all He can to answer this prayer that He placed in my heart and in the heart of others.
Make a Prayer List

Write down the names of nations, rulers, leaders, politicians, judges, etc. Go over these names daily.
42
The Ministry of the Priest Intercede and cry out to God for them. Remember Moses interceded for the people when they were unrepentant and God moved. God honors His king-priest. Do this daily. Be consistent. Be persistent. Know your authority. Recognize that God is running the nations through you. You are His king- priest. After you repent for a judge, politician, nation, or situation, apply the blood of Jesus to the problem. Then, as Gods king, command that the kingdom of God destroy the evil. Augment your prayer by releasing the anointing. Pray with great authority in tongues. You are destroying the evil, not the person. God can make a preacher out of the offender.
Priests Use the Blood to Overcome Satan

Revelation 12:11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. 43
King-Priest
Demonic powers in the nation are controlled and broken by the blood of Jesus and a strong positive testimony based on His word.
Salvation Is by the Blood of Jesus

Ephesians 1:7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
You have been redeemed by His blood that He shed for you on the cross.
Come Into His Presence by the Blood

Hebrews 10:19 Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,
By His blood you come into His presence and fellowship with Him and discuss with Him plans for ruling in this life.
Daily Cleansing by the Blood

I John 1:7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with 44

another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
You will make mistakes, but the blood of Jesus will cleanse you daily as you continue to seek His face.
Blood Delivers From Destruction

Exodus 12:7 And they shall take of the blood, and strike [it] on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat it. Exodus 12:13 And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye [are]: and when 1 see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy [you], when I smite the land of Egypt.
The blood on the door posts of the houses of Israel protected them from the judgment of God which came on the land. A study of every scripture in the Bible on the blood reveals that provision has been made in the sacrifice of Jesus blood for every phase of your life. You must appropriate it.

Salvation is by the blood. Protection is by the blood. Healing is by the blood. Recently I felt apprehensive as I parked my car. It was some distance down the street from the church. I walked around my car pleading the blood of Jesus over it. After church I learned that the tires on three cars parked nearby had had their tires slashed. These cars were in the same area as mine. You may like to plead the blood over your home and or over your children. This is a good idea. When you do this you are reminding yourself and the Lord that you are Gods property, purchased by the blood of the Lamb. Therefore you have His protection. The blood of Jesus is the foundation for everything you do. It is your birthright. When Aaron lifted the priests censer and made atonement for the people, it stopped Gods wrath.
Numbers 16:46 And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a censer, and put fire therein from off the altar, and put on incense, and go quickly unto the congregation, and make an atonement for them: for there is wrath gone out from the LORD; the plague is begun. 46
The Ministry of the Priest When you put the blood over your nation, you are demanding the mercy of God spare your country until He can release a great revival.

Our King Ministry
Revelation 1:6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him [be] glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
Jesus is a king. He is in you. He lives His kingly ministry through you. We are all kings in Jesus. He is prodding you into the full birthing of your king ministry. Kings take authority by commands. Commanding will be discussed later.
Gods Kings
Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder....
Notice that the government is on Jesus shoulders. He is in you. He has made you a king. So you are responsible for the governments of the world. Treat the problems in the nation as though
49
King-Priest
you were the king in charge. Walk in love. Never criticize. Spend time in prayer until you know the Fathers will. The government is on Jesus shoulder. He is very interested in what goes on in the governments of the world. When there is a problem use principles to deal with it. these
Confusion to the Enemy

When Gods king-priests begin to function in their office, the adversary becomes very distraught. He cannot operate. Every thing goes out of control for him. Gideon shouted and praised the Lord, and the enemy killed themselves. Jehoshaphat and the people of God shouted and praised God before going to battle. Confusion entered the camps of the enemy. The armies allied against Israel began to fight one another until they completely destroyed each other. Not one enemy was left for Jehoshaphat to
50
Our King Ministry fight. The more Gods king-priests forgive and bless their government officials, the more God will send confusion to the enemy. The evil in your government must leave. This does not always happen over night. This same principle will work for individuals. If there is a conspiracy against you, love and bless those involved. Go out of your way to do nice things for them. The demonic spirit that is behind the problem will go into a state of confusion. Satan can manipulate you when you fear your enemy. He can exploit you when you use anger against your enemy. He can milk you dry in all areas when you worry. When you operate in love, forgiveness, and authority, Satan is stymied. This is not saying a Christian should never go to war. Neither is it saying that Christians should never use the courts.
51
King-Priest
These are examples where prayer and praise alone were sufficient. There are many other times when God commanded them to use their weapons to destroy the enemy. The supernatural power of God helped their sword.
Covenant of Peace to Rule

Ezekiel 34:25 And I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause the evil beasts to cease out of the land: and they shall dwell safely in the wilderness, and sleep in the woods.
God has given us a covenant of peace and promised that the evil beasts will be destroyed. We will have a land of safety and unguarded doors. Jesus gave us this covenant of peace. He expects us to clean up our nation and world with the king-priest ministry. Priests pray and forgive. Kings operate in authority. As kings we command things to happen. Gods kings must come alive in our day. You must realize the extent of the authority you have as a king.

Our King Ministry
Kings Are Girded With Strength

Psalms 18:39 For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.
The spirit of God surrounds you. You are girded with Gods strength. You have a special anointing from God to destroy evil.
John 10:18 No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again...
Jesus was indestructible. He testified that no man could take His life from Him. He laid it down of Himself at the proper time. Lift your hands to Jesus and make a good confession based on this truth. I confess in Jesus name, that the Father is opening my eyes. I walk in the strength and the anointing of Jesus. I am indestructible. I will not depart this life until the Father is through with me. The believer is to do greater works than Jesus did because of the resurrection power. Sampson could not be taken until he sinned
53
King-Priest
with Delilah. The Bible is full of exciting stories relating the mighty exploits of Gods kings.
Release the King

This is the "how to" section. Build your anointing by speaking in tongues. Maintain prayer. that anointing by consistent
Pray until you are comfortable praying for several hours at a time. It is vital to continue this daily. If you do not learn to pray, you will never be a good king-priest. Try praying as I do. See if you like it. In this section I have some verses and comments. After each paragraph or scripture pray vigorously in tongues. When you pray like this keep your mind on the scripture or the comment about the scripture. Do not let your mind wander. Release the majestic greatness of God.
54
Our King Ministry The following verses are given to help you get started. After each verse or comment pray in tongues and praise the Lord for a few minutes. Keep your mind centered on Jesus. If you do not pray in tongues spend a few moments praising and worshiping the Lord in your own language after each verse or sentence. Each prayer or confession is done in Jesus name.
Psalms 29:4 The voice of the LORD [is] powerful; the voice of the LORD [is] full of majesty.
Gods voice is in me. I release His voice. I am building my anointing and when I speak, people hear Him.
Psalms 45:3 Gird thy sword (automatic weapon) upon [thy] thigh, O [most] mighty, with thy glory and thy majesty.
I am learning to develop my king ministry and king attitude. In the name of Jesus, I destroy the evil in our congress. I release the power of God to move through our congress and nation with His sword drawn and
55
King-Priest
wipe out demonic activity. The word of the Lord is flowing from me right now and destroying evil in our courts. I release the Fathers power to destroy evil throughout the world. I am His king. His nature and character are working in me. I am changing my world. I release the majestic voice of the Lord today. His voice is destroying evil in the various groups which demand that the public accept their immorality. I practice the lamb nature of God. I practice the loving, merciful, and forgiving nature of Jesus.
Psalms 45:4 And in thy majesty ride prosperously because of truth and meekness [and] righteousness; and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.
I yield to you this day, Father, that you may ride prosperously through my life. Father, I will walk in truth and meekness. I will harmonize with your nature. Thy right hand, O Lord, will teach mankind
56
Our King Ministry great and terrible things this day. The right hand of God is Jesus. He is working His king ministry through me. I have been praying in tongues after each paragraph or verse. I hope you have, too, and will continue. I build my anointing as I pray in the Spirit, and in turn I release this anointing upon different situations. Hallelujah! The anointing always breaks the yoke.
Isaiah 28:2 Behold, the Lord hath a mighty and strong one, [which] as a tempest of hail [and] a destroying storm, as a flood of mighty waters overflowing, shall cast down to the earth with the hand
He is like a "tempest of hail." Father, I release you right now as I pray in tongues to be like a tempest of hail destroying the evil in our nation. I release you, Father, to be like a tempest of hail over the evil in my family. Just a reminder, you are not releasing judgment on people, you are dealing with the
57
King-Priest
evil spirits which are behind the problems. He is a "destroying storm." Father, I release you to be like a destroying storm, destroying the evil in our city government. I release you Father to be like a destroying storm to the evil that works in our schools. He is like "floods of mighty waters overflowing." Father, I command a great revival to overflow the land, to cover the world, and to destroy the evil. The God of all creation lives in me. He can still do exploits. I release the creator God now. I untie His hands. I release the Father to be like floods of mighty waters overflowing in this earth. I release you to throw down evil in our land. Father, great and wonderful creator God, I love you. I release you to destroy demonic influences in all the world. I am turning this world around in Jesus name. I lift my hands to you. I release a great move of God worldwide. I destroy demonic forces that would come
58
Our King Ministry against this revival.
***
This is my favorite way to pray. Now, the next time you go through this section, instead of praying in tongues, slip your hands up and worship and praise the Lord without saying a word. Each time as you are silently worshiping and loving Jesus, visualize Him destroying evil in the land. Speak in tongues silently in your spirit. Following is another way of praying for you to try. Go through each scripture and paragraph as before, but this time yield to groaning in the Spirit. Continue to forgive and weep for the problems which the Lord lays on your heart. Keep your mind on the verse or the teaching in the paragraph as you do this. The Holy Spirit will guide you in your thinking and praying in each section. The Spirit will groan through you as you do this.
Your Responsibility
59
King-Priest
As king-priests, it is your responsibility and obligation to monitor the governments of the world or anyone else who would try to enslave you. This also applies to large corporations and special interest groups. First send them the love and forgiveness of the Lord Jesus. Then command the evil to be broken. Watch your news media and build yourself a prayer list. This same method also works in dealing with money kings who use their money power to control and enslave mankind. For years God has been getting me up in the morning to pray. During this period He has taught me some principles of prayer. There have already been great changes in our world, and there will be more. The beautiful thing about this is God has an army of prayer warriors. Although most of them work independently, they are all under the direction of the Holy Spirit.
The War Is Not Over

60
Our King Ministry It does not mean the war is over when a change comes. The root of evil is still present and ready to rise again. You must not allow this to happen. Continue to press forward. Our kingdom ends up in complete control.
Communism
Communism has been a target for my prayers for years. I began by saying in prayer, "Russia and China will become evangelistic centers." As a priest I forgave them and released the love of Jesus to them. Then the kings ministry took over and commanded the kingdom of God to crush the evil in these countries. I would always follow this by praying in the Holy Spirit. I repented over the other communist countries, including those that were being harassed by communist spies, plants, and gorillas. It is essential that we destroy communism
61
King-Priest
at the roots. Join with me. We cannot afford to let it arise again. At the time of the writing of this book, God is doing a mighty work in Europe and Russia. Do not cease to pray and command revival to consume the evil in the land. This is an opportunity for the church do some evangelistic and apostolic work and establish many churches. I have prayed for years, that communism would be destroyed in Cuba and South and Central America. I go through all the nations where communism is seeding and minister to them in prayer. Continue praying for areas where communism is working. Keep suppressing it. The demonic spirit that is behind this will keep trying to regain lost territories. Do not fear to step out and make strong prayers and strong confessions of faith to the Father in Jesus Name. The kingdoms of this world will soon
62
Our King Ministry become the kingdoms of our Lord. Evil and good may seesaw back and forth for a period, but the kingdom of God will come out on top.
Crime, Witchcraft, Satanism, and Cults

Pray the same way concerning crime, witchcraft, satanism, cults and idol worship. Cover it all.
Romans 12:19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but [rather] give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance [is] mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
Remember, you do not curse or destroy people. You are dealing with demons and demonic activity. Your real enemy is not people. They are the pawn of demons. When you judge people, family, politicians, news media, courts, or even your job, you are playing God. Vengeance belongs to God. Let Him handle people, He can do this when you forgive them.

Kings Must Be Forceful

Matthew 11:12 ... The violent take it by force.
A king must exercise authority. You must take your kingdom by force. The kingdom of heaven suffereth violence and that the violent are to take it by force. Jesus did not teach physical violence, but He did teach us to be authoritative and forceful in our prayer and faith life. We have the authority as kings and priests to release the power of the Father God. As you yield to the Lord, He gives you wisdom to accomplish His plans. It is His kingdom. He is directing and calling all the plays. In this period of time God is giving the nations opportunity to be blessed. The Babylonian captivity could have been avoided if the people had repented.
The Power of the Creator
64
Our King Ministry Listen to the Shunamite woman.

11 Kings 4:26 Run now, I pray thee, to meet her, and say unto her, [Is it] well with thee? [is it] well with thy husband? [is it] well with the child? And she answered, [It is] well.
The prophet saw this lady coming in the distance. He recognized her and sent his servant to ask her if everything was well. Listen to her response. "It is well. " Her child was dead and she said, "It is well." What a powerful revelation this lady had in her spirit. She knew her Creator God. She was a king.
Romans 4:17... God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.
The Creator God lives within you. Did He lose His majesty when He came into your life? No! He enhanced it.
65
King-Priest
Did He loose His faith when He entered your life? How absurd. The same works He did you are supposed to do. You have the same faith. The Creator lives in you. Did He lose His ability to create when He entered your life? No! He still quickens the dead and calls that which is not as though it were. He does this through you, people like the Shunamite lady. The Word that created the heavens and the earth lives in you. What is He doing in you? He did not forfeit His powers after He entered your life? Awake! Release the Creator God. You were conceived in His image. Your words will create life or death. (Proverbs 18:21) Press into the king-priest ministry.
The Church Is Birthing the Millennium

66
Our King Ministry I really believe that the church is in the process of giving birth to the millennium. If we are raptured out first, that will not change anything. The kingdoms of this world will become the kingdoms of our God and of His Christ. He will reign until every enemy is under His feet. The church is ushering in the millennium. It is just around the next curve. Permit the majestic Father to ride gloriously through you today. Bulldoze your way into your king-priest ministry. Conquer in Jesus name. Jesus never meant for the church to develop an escapist spirit. You must not become entrapped in this type of thinking. The church is not going to be raptured out merely to keep it from being cremated. No! The church is in charge. The rapture is given for a vision to
67
King-Priest
encourage and to show you who comes out on top. You are the winner! Walk with a militant spirit! No, I am not teaching rioting in the streets. I am teaching you to reign from the prayer closet in righteousness and holiness. Love your enemies. Bless them. No demon can stand against such authority. Now you will begin to ride gloriously with the King of kings as He conquers in this world.
Kings Are As God

Psalms 8:5 For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honor.
The word translated angels is the Hebrew word Elohim. In every other instance this word is translated God. You are just a little lower than God by creation. You are made in His image. You have a crown of glory and honor, and
68
Our King Ministry as the Hebrew word for crown also includes the idea of encircle, you are encircled with His glory and honor. His nature surrounds you. You are surrounded with His Majesty. You are surrounded with His success.
Psalms 45:4 And in thy majesty ride prosperously because of truth and meekness [and] righteousness; and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.
He chooses to ride prosperously in the earth through you. Do not fail the Lord today. Do not fail the human race today.
Zechariah 12:8... He that is feeble among them... shall be as David; and the house of David [shall be] as God
The feeble will be as David who did mighty exploits. The least in the kingdom of God is greater than John, David, or any of the Old Testament saints. Jesus is now seated on Davids throne.
69
King-Priest
You are seated with Jesus on His throne. You are of the House of David. The house of David is as God.
I John 4:17... As he is, so are we in this world
You are at Jesus side on His throne. He is a king, so are you. As you receive His instructions, you are to carry them out on earth. When you pray, it is Jesus praying through you. The more you learn to discern His faintest whisper, the more powerful His reign will be on earth. Jesus wants to live His full ministry through your life. Whatever He became at the resurrection, you became that with Him.
Luke 6:40 The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect shall be as his master.
As the church becomes more aware of their king-priest ministry, God will begin to do mighty exploits in the land. You are not above Jesus, but His ministry is
70
Our King Ministry in you.
Higher Than the Worlds

Numbers 24:7.. His king shall be higher than Agag, and his kingdom shall be exalted
Your kingship is higher than Agag or any earthly ruler. The more you become aware of this, the more you will understand that you have been conceived in the womb of God, and you are His representative on earth. You are His voice. When you speak God speaks. Not everything you say is God, but the potential is there. With God all things are possible. You have faith, nothing is impossible with you.
Revelation 17:14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings....
No power can stop Jesus as He flows through His kings. Abraham subdued nine kings with 318 chosen servants. (Genesis 14:14-15) Jonathan chased an entire army. (1 Samuel
71
King-Priest
14:14) Gideon destroyed an army with 300 men. (Judges 7:22) David killed a lion, a giant and a bear. David ran through a troop, jumped over a wall and broke steel with his hands.
II Samuel 22:30 For by thee I have run through a troop: by my God have I leaped over a wall. II Samuel 22:35 He teacheth my hands to war; so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.
A troop is any enemy that comes against you. By the majestic greatness of your God, you are running through troops today.
I Chronicles 14:11... Then David said, God hath broken in upon mine enemies by mine hand like the breaking forth of waters....
Catch this vision with David. The Creator God who lives in you is destroying your enemy like the destructive force of a flash flood. You have a greater anointing than David,
72
Our King Ministry Jonathan, Gideon or any other person who lived prior to the resurrection. You have the anointing of the resurrected Christ.
The Power of Words

The words of a prophet released backslidden king to do great exploits.
I Kings 20:13 And, behold, there came a prophet unto Ahab king of Israel, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Hast thou seen all this great multitude? behold, I will deliver it into thine hand this day; and thou shalt know that I [am] the LORD.
With these words from a man of God, Ahab accomplished supernatural exploits, not only once but twice.
I Kings 20:21 ... Slew the Syrians with a great slaughter.
The following year the Syrians rebuilt their army only to be defeated once more.
I Kings 20:27... The children of Israel pitched before them like two little flocks of kids; but the Syrians filled the country.
Israel had a very limited army. The Syrians

73
King-Priest
filled the country.

I Kings 20:29... Israel slew of the Syrians an hundred thousand footmen in one day.
Israel destroyed the enemy outnumbered them many times.
who
The ministry of the prophet and priest often overlap. All of these accounts were taken from 1 King 20. The prophet yielded into the supernatural realm of the Spirit of God. He received the battle strategy for the day. When the man of God spoke, the power of God emanated from him and enabled Ahab to perform great exploits. When you speak from the spirit realm, it is the voice of God giving battle instructions and rally cries to His great army.
You Are Over Nations

Jeremiah 1:10 See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.
Jeremiah was placed over the nations to

74
Our King Ministry destroy evil and build and create good. He prophesied unrepentant nations. the destruction of
He prophesied the destruction of Israel and she was taken captive by Babylon. He prophesied the destruction of Moab. It came to pass. He prophesied that Ammon, Edom, Syria, Hazor and Elam would be conquered. They were. He also prophesied the fall of Babylonian empire. Babylon was created by God to destroy unrepentant nations, especially Israel. He did not destroy Babylon immediately. Her work was not finished until the punishment of all nations was completed. As the king-priest speaks the words of the Lord, he releases the majestic greatness of the Creator God. God awaits the awakening of His kingpriests from their slumber. He has made you "More than conquerors." You are over nations and kingdoms just as Jeremiah.
75
King-Priest
God will do more through His king-priests in this day than He did through the men of the Old Testament. They were merely types and shadows. As His king-priests come alive, they will tear down demonic kingdoms and raise up righteous kingdoms. This is already happening in a measure, but you have not seen anything yet. King-priests must realize the power of words spoken from heavens altar. Death and life are in the power of the tongue. Make strong positive statements concerning your government, news media, and politicians. They will respond when one or more of Gods kings speaks words of victory concerning their leadership. You will see greater changes as you spend more time with the Father in prayer.
You Are to Rule

Isaiah 9:6... The government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called 76
Our King Ministry

Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
Since the government is on Jesus shoulders, it is automatically upon your shoulders. Jesus is alive in you. He will rule this earth through His people. You must take the governments of the world and bring them into the kingdom of God by prayer and by kingly commands.
Warfare in Kingship
Joshua 11:18 Joshua made war a long time with all those kings.
Do not grow weary. Keep fighting the good fight of faith. Jesus taught us persistence in prayer. One of Jesus disciple said,... "Lord, teach us to pray...."(Luke 11:1). In answer to this request, Jesus taught them the Lords prayer. Then He gave the following example. A man went to his neighbor, to get bread at midnight. This neighbor did not want to get up and get it. But because of the mans persistence,
77
King-Priest
he gave him the bread.

Luke 11:8 I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him as many as he needeth.
You must hammer on the door until it opens.

Luke 18:l ... Men ought always to pray, and not to faint;
Following this admonition on prayer, Jesus gave the story of the unjust judge and the widow lady who pestered him constantly until he yielded to her petitions.
Luke 18:5 Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me. Luke 18:7-8 And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them? I tell you that he will avenge them speedily....
Keep pressing in.

Matthew 11:12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of
78
Our King Ministry

heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.
God requires His king-priest to be persistent and take the kingdom by the force of prayer and kingly authority. The more you pray and fellowship with the Lord, the stronger you become. The answer may tarry but it will come. You will see big changes in the nations as you pray. What if they return to evil after you have seen a victory? You have nothing to lose. Look what a harvest you gain in the meantime. It is only a matter of time. The kingdom of God will take over in this earth.
Gods Hand in Your Warfare

Joshua 24:12 And I sent the hornet before you, which drave them out from before you... but not with thy sword, nor with thy bow.
God can do so much more than the might of man. When you pray and go to battle, God does
79
King-Priest
great supernatural exploits through you. As you enter into your king-priest anointing, you will pray, repent, and command the kingdoms of this world to fall before the soldiers of God, His prayer warriors. God will, in response to your prayer, send the angels (hornets) before His people and destroy the enemy. The hornets go before you as you pray and do warfare. The enemy is defeated. As a priest you must never move in personal anger. You cannot move in hate and anger and expect your king-priest ministry to operate.
The Lord Alone Is King

Judges 8:23 And Gideon said unto them, I will not rule over you... the LORD shall rule...
Recognize that He is Lord, and He is God, and you are merely His vessel. He desires to live His king-priest ministry through you.

The King-Priest Rules by Commands
The Greek word translated ask when referring to prayer includes the idea of demand.
John 15:7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you
You are not demanding in rebellion or anger. You are standing in the Fathers kingdom demanding your inheritance. The Father smiles with pleasure as He watches His children step out in faith.
Mark 11:24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive [them], and ye shall have [them].
The Greek word here translated desire is the same word translated ask in John 15:7. In fact all the words dealing with prayer come from this same word which also means to demand. Some demands are to be soft and others are to be very firm. You must learn to take your authority in
81
King-Priest
this world and make demands upon your heavenly bank account as this is the foundation of real faith.
A Few Examples
Numbers 12:13 And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, Heal her now, O God, I beseech thee. Acts 3:6 Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk. Acts 9:34 And Peter said unto him, AENEAS, Jesus Christ maketh thee whole: arise, and make thy bed. And he arose immediately. Acts 9:40... Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes: and when she saw Peter, she sat up. Acts 14:10 Said with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped and walked.
All of these miracles were the result of commands from the king-priest.
82
The King-Priest Rules by Commands Does God really expect me to command Him, the Creator?
Command Ye Me
Isaiah 45:11 Thus saith the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me.
In the verses immediately prior to this verse, God discusses the foolishness of a thing created arguing with and rebelling against the creator. Then He changes the subject. "Concerning my sons and the work of my hands, you must command me." When you are doing the work of the kingdom and not arguing with God, you must command to get the job done. Following this God speaks of the work of His Son Jesus..
Isaiah 45:13 I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will direct all his ways: he shall build my city, and he shall let go my captives, not for price nor reward, saith the LORD of hosts.
83
King-Priest
Gods Son and/or sons will build His city. You will never do much building anywhere if you do not know how to run the business at hand by commands. Any builder knows that a large project is done through the authority of the head man. Each supervisor under the head carries out the boss commands by commanding those under him. To understand commanding on the part of sons, consider a family business. The father entrusts certain areas of the business to the son. The father then teaches the son to take command of the business. To properly run this business the son uses the fathers authority and commands things to happen. This is the same in your heavenly kingdom. In praying go to the Father in Jesus name. "Father, I command this nation to become a godly nation." In the following paragraphs, the Father actually commands Himself through the Kingpriest ministry. Listen to Moses command the Father.
84

"LORD ... Heal her now, O God, I beseech thee."
How could Moses command God like this? This sounds very demanding and almost like rebellion on the part of Moses. As priests you yield to the mercy nature of God. God is commanding Himself through you. This is the two natures of God buffeting each other. Remember you saw some of this in the first chapter when Moses blocked God from destroying His people. You cannot do this from the flesh. It must be the Spirit of God commanding through you. Your job is to learn to flow with His Spirit. You are taking your authority in the kingdom. The priest must find the will of God, usually through intercession. Then the king side of him commands the will of the Father be done in the earth.
Commanding Is Gods Nature

85
King-Priest
God commands in creation.

Psalms 33:9 For he spake, and it was [done]; he commanded, and it stood fast.
God created the kingdom and runs the kingdom through Jesus, His son, with commands. You are now a joint-heir with Jesus and thereby have a joint partnership in running the kingdom. Like Jesus, you can only do what the Father does or orders. God is running the kingdom through His king-priests. God cannot change His nature just because He operates through you. You, too, must yield to His commands.
He Who Commands Must First Know the Fathers Will

John 5:30 I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.
The best way to know the Fathers will is to start praying. It does not take long to know what the Father wants you to command when
86
The King-Priest Rules by Commands you have a life dedicated to prayer and communication with your Heavenly Father. When you obey God, by hours of prayer year after year, you learn what the Father wishes to command through you. It becomes natural.
Our Spirit Is Joined to Jesus

I Corinthians 6:17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.
You are one with Jesus in the Father. You share His king-priest ministry. You have His nature.
Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. Matthew 17:20... 1f ye have faith... nothing shall be impossible unto you. Luke 1:37 For with God nothing shall be impossible.
The only limit to the power of God as He lives in you is your unbelief. Gods king-priests are beginning to realize that the Creator lives in them. There is nothing
87
King-Priest
impossible with them as they follow the instructions of the Spirit of God.
Learn to Command
Matthew 11:12 ... The kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force. Luke 16:16 The law and the prophets [were] until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.
One way to press into the kingdom is by commanding in the Spirit.
Command Gods Kingdom to Come

Genesis 22:17... Thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;
Here are some of the gates you should possess from your prayer closet.
Command the children of God to possess the nations of the world. Command the kingdoms of this world to become the kingdoms of our Christ.
88
Command the kingdom of God to take over the news media. Command the kingdom of God to take over the schools. Command the kingdom of God to take over commerce. Command the kingdom of God to take over banking. Command the kingdom of God to destroy evil in the land. Command the kingdom of God to destroy the evil in the street gangs and make evangelists out of them. Command the kingdom of God to take over all organized crime and make great and godly leaders out of them.
The Rapture
If you should be raptured out of the earth today, His kingdom will continue. The Jews can take up where you leave off. An honest study of Revelation seems to indicate that there are believers here during the tribulation period.
89
King-Priest
Some think these are people who have received Jesus after the rapture. I do not know. If the tribulation period started today, it would probably be three and one half or seven years before the full reign of God on earth. Forget about the tribulation and start thinking about taking over the kingdom. Our minds should be set on occupying until He comes. Get ready for the kingdom to take over. The full take over could be soon. We may as well make some strong dents in Satans kingdom before that day fully arrives.
Unlimited Power
Deuteronomy 2:36 ... There was not one city too strong for us: the LORD our God delivered all unto us:
There was not one nation that could stop Israel. These were types and shadows for the church.
90
The King-Priest Rules by Commands Recall the discussion in chapter two concerning the kings of God. David ran through a troop, leaped over a wall and broke steel with his hands. Zechariah teaches concerning our day that the weak will be as David, but the House of David, will be as God. (Zec 12:8) Jonathan, Abraham, Gideon, and others did great exploits.
The Greater Ministry

Matthew 11:11 Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
The kings in the Old Covenant were the weak ones compared to Gods king-priests today. The least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than any in the Old Testament. (Matthew 11:11)
Commanding Curses?
Curses spoken without the prompting of the Holy Spirit are witchcraft.
91
King-Priest
There are a few cases where the Spirit did command curses.
Jesus
Mark 11:14 And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter forever...
Jesus cursed the fig tree, a prophetic picture of death to religion which claims to possess but in reality possesses nothing. Apparently the fig tree professed it had fruit by its leaves, but upon a closer examination, it was discovered it had nothing. Jesus cursed this hypocritical tree.
Paul
Acts 13:11 And now, behold, the hand of the Lord [is] upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season...
Paul spoke a curse on a sorcerer and he became blind for a season.
Elisha
II Kings 2:24... He cursed them in the name of the LORD. And there came forth two she
92

bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them.
Elisha cursed the children who were mocking him. They were in reality mocking God because Elisha was His prophet. Following this curse, bears attacked the children. To understand this, you must realize that these children were apparently voicing the sentiments of their back-slidden parents who had been mocking God in their presence. This took place in Bethel, the place where Jeroboam had erected one of the idols to worship.
1 Kings 12:28-29 ... The king... made two calves [of] gold and he set the one in Bethel, and the other put he in Dan.
The curse was Gods judgment on a nation. Whenever judgment comes to a nation, whether is comes as a plague, famine, or something else, it includes the children also. Not only the children suffered, but the grieving parents also suffered. It was all a result of their sin.
93
King-Priest
They were reaping what they sowed.
Elijah
1 Kings 1:10 And Elijah answered and said to the captain of fifty, If I [be] a man of God, then let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And there came down fire from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty.
Why did God command fire to destroy these men through the prophet? These men were sent by their king to Baal-zebub the god of Ekron. In other words they were going to demon spirits for information rather than Jehovah. God sent the prophet to intercept the messengers with the following message:
II Kings 1:3... Is it not because [there is] not a God in Israel, [that] ye go to inquire of Baal-zebub the god of Ekron?
The king did not accept the prophets message. He immediately sent soldiers to capture him. The prophet released fire from heaven and destroyed them.
94
The King-Priest Rules by Commands God was dealing with the anti-Christ spirit that reigned in the northern kingdom. He used these curses to demonstrate His power as well as His judgment. Why were the disciples rebuked by Jesus when they tried to command fire to come down on Jesus enemies?
Luke 9:54 And when his disciples James and John saw [this], they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did? Luke 9:55 But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of.
The disciples were operating in fleshly anger. Jesus rebuked them.
Binding
Matthew 18:18 Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
Bind demonic strong holds over cities

95
King-Priest
and nations.
Bind the homosexual spirit command it to be broken. Bind the New Age spirit command it to be broken.
and and
Bind the spirit of witchcraft and Satanism. Bind the evil rock music spirit. Bind the spirit of pornography and command it to be broken.
You are binding the evil spirit and not the individual. This is all done in Jesus name. After each of these commands, pray in tongues to help release greater faith. This will build your anointing.
Command Healings
Peter used commands to heal the lame man in Acts three. Paul used the same technique in Acts fourteen. When you command the powers of God
96
The King-Priest Rules by Commands to move, you will see many positive results. Jesus used this technique. He commanded the demons and the infirmities to leave. He did this by the Spirit of God.
Matthew 12:28 But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you.
Jesus used the power of the Holy Spirit to cast out devils. He taught us to do the same.
John 14:12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater [works] than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
Be very commanding. Father.

Commanding Nature
Matthew 8:25-26... Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm. Joshua 10:12-13 Then spake Joshua.. Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Aijalon. And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies... II Kings 20:11 And Isaiah the prophet cried unto the LORD: and he brought the shadow ten degrees backward, by which it had gone down in the dial of Ahaz.
Gods servants, both Old and New Covenant, knew how to command the elements of nature and have them obey. Should you back away from your commanding of nature? No way. Take your authority.
Commanding-an Essential Part of Prayer

98

Psalms 6:2... Heal me; for my bones are vexed. Psalms 60:2.. Heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh. Luke 11:2-4... Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth. Give us day by day our daily bread. And forgive us our sins... lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.
Each of these verses deals with prayer. Each one is in the command form.
99
Chapter Four

Thy Kingdom Come

Repentance Must Come
Matthew 4:17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Jesus went about preaching and commanding repentance to come to the people. John the Baptist used the same approach. A substantial amount of my prayer time goes to repenting for the sins of our government, society, schools, and churches. Then I command repentance to come to all of these areas. This opens the door for God to work in the lives of people. This in turn causes some of the people to repent.
Jesus Gave Us the Guidelines for Bringing in the Kingdom

Matthew 6:10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as [it is] in heaven. 101
King-Priest
I have no problem with the idea of the Kingdom of God taking over in this earth. When Jesus gave us the model prayer, He told us to command His kingdom to come and His will to be done in earth just as it is in heaven. The church has been asleep waiting for this to happen during the millennial reign of Christ. If there is to be a millennium, it probably will be brought into being by you. Jesus works through His body. This does not preclude the establishment of the kingdom at the return of Jesus. The church should be so full of the power and the fire of God that the Lord would have to rapture it to keep it from destroying all unrepentant sinners.
Gods Kingdom Is to Take Over in the Earth.

Mustard Seed
Matthew 13:31-32... The kingdom of heaven 102
Thy Kingdom Come

is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field: Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof.
The mustard seed produces a plant which becomes the greatest of all herbs. The kingdom of Heaven is to be more powerful than all other powers on this earth. We are to set policy, and we are to rule and reign.
Leaven
Matthew 13:33... The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.
Gods kingdom is like yeast in the bread. It begins to work and changes every part of the dough. Little by little it works on the entire loaf. King-priests are to pray, repent, and command until the kingdom takes over every phase of society.
103
King-Priest
Travail Ushers in the Kingdom

Revelation 11:15... The kingdoms of this world are become [the kingdoms] of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.
All of Gods children know this scripture will be fulfilled in the end time. The problem has been that we have expected everything all to work out without any effort on our part. This is contrary to Jesus doctrine. He taught us to pray that His kingdom would take over the earth. He taught us to occupy. Travail and birth it.
The Miracle Ministry of the Kingdom Must Come

Matthew 4:23 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.
The gospel should include miracles and

104
Thy Kingdom Come healings on a scale larger than that which Jesus demonstrated. The resurrection power gives us a boost. Even Paul had not reached what God wanted done in the earth. As priests we are to forgive and repent for the sins of society. As kings we must command the miracle ministry of Jesus to explode throughout all of the earth.
I command the miracle ministry of Jesus to break out in our schools. I command the miracle ministry of Jesus to break out in the market place. I command the miracle ministry of Jesus to break out in the streets. I command the miracle ministry of Jesus to break out among our politicians.
The Gospel of the Kingdom Must Be Preached in All the World for a Witness
Matthew 24:14 And this gospel of the 105
King-Priest kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
The gospel that has been preached in most parts of the world is basically a very weak witness. Some have had miracles, but the church as a whole has not operated in the resurrection power available. Although most nations have miracles when the gospel is first introduced, lethargy and indifference soon stop the miracles. We DO have miracles today. BUT We do NOT have the abundance of miracles prophesied by Jesus. King-priests must demand that the miracle signs and wonders of our God be manifested worldwide, not by a handful of evangelists but by the entire body of Christ.
John 17:23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved
106
Thy Kingdom Come

me.
As the church walks in unity with the Holy Ghost and with one another, miracles of an unprecedented level will begin to flow from the throne of God. People will see this and comment one to another, "Surely Jesus came from the Father. His followers are operating in the same power that He displayed when He came to earth. God loves them as much as He did Jesus." This will be a witness to all nations. What we have had heretofore has not been a very strong witness. It has not been a full demonstration of the kingdom of God. I thank God for every great wave of the Spirit that we have had in the history of the church.
Command the Greater Spirit to Manifest

Matthew 18:4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
107
King-Priest
I repent and seek the Lords forgiveness for the sins and pride of the church. I weep before God for the sins of rebellion and stubbornness found in the church. I command the evil to be crushed by the kingdom of God. I command the gentle, tender, kind and child-like spirit to manifest itself through the believer. The miracles in this last day will be done by people like this. They are the greater ones in the kingdom.
The New Things in the Kingdom

Matthew 13:52... The kingdom of heaven is like unto a man [that is] an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure [things] new and old.
It is my responsibility to command the new things to be revealed and the good of the old preserved. I find that when I spend time in the presence of the Lord, He keeps me informed on what is happening in the body.
108
Thy Kingdom Come Stir yourselves up to be a pace setter in this area. You should be in the forefront of the new things that God has for His people.
Command the Revelation Knowledge to Come Alive

Matthew 13:11 He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
It was given unto the believers to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven. The things of the kingdom were hid to the world. Jesus taught the general public in parables, but in private He explained the parables to the disciples. The truth remains; it is given to the disciple to know the mysteries of the kingdom. God is still in the teaching and explaining business. Jesus in us knows all mysteries.
I John 2:20 But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things.
109
King-Priest I John 2:27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things...
In both of these scriptures God declares that we have more knowledge than we actually demonstrate. This is similar to Pauls teaching:
Romans 6:11 Reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
The believer is dead to sin, but his flesh is not dead to sin. Likewise we know all things, yet the flesh blocks the Spirit from revealing these things. We must birth these truths and make them a reality. In Matthew 26:41 we read that the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. Jesus displayed His righteous anger when His disciples did not operate in the same level of ministry in which He operated.
John 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: 110
Thy Kingdom Come If you knew Jesus voice like He means for you to know His voice, you would know the Father just as He did. You would never be in doubt about which direction to take. You would always know His perfect will. Spend time before the Father birthing this for yourself and for the body of Christ. Jesus said in John 5:30b.. "I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me." Your life must be on the line for Jesus. Your flesh must be submitted to the Spirit.

Birthing
It is not possible to make earthly analogies agree in the spirit world completely. Types and shadows tend to break down when carried to extremes.
Comprehending Spiritual Conception

James 1:15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
Evil infiltrates through the mind when the individual pursues a demonic thought or temptation. After he does this for a while, there is a conception.
1 Peter 1:13 Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind...
The loins are the reproductive area of your mind. When you yield this area of the mind to
113
King-Priest
the demonic, that spirit conceives in you. This is why Peter admonishes you to guard this area of your mind. The conception of good things works the same way.
James 1:18 Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth...
As you pursue the word of Jesus concerning salvation, a conception takes place and you are born again. The same thing happens in other areas such as strength, health and finances.
Understanding Birthing
First comes conception; then comes the birthing of the fruit. When evil conceives in you, it starts to give birth to sin. In like manner when good thoughts conceive in you, you begin to give birth to righteousness.
1 John 3:9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of 114
Birthing
God
Sperma is the Greek word here translated seed. This is the origin of the English word sperm. As you receive Gods thoughts you become pregnant on God. At this point you become new creatures.
2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man [be] in Christ, [he is] a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
When Jesus enters your life, you become a new creature, and the old things are passed away. Is the old really gone? Yes and no. You are born again; you are a new creature. In that sense the old things are passed away. Problems of the flesh are not gone in the outer man. You still have the flesh and the emotions with which to contend. At the new birth some sinful habits disappear immediately while others do not. You must keep giving birth to new areas of victory.
115
King-Priest
For this reason the before this says:
scripture
right
II Corinthians 5:16 Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh...
Identify with the resurrected Christ who lives in you. Let His thoughts conceive and birth more and more in your life. Identify with His personality and with His nature. Permit these thoughts to birth in you. The voice of the flesh will tell you that you are a failure. If you continue to think on this, it will eventually conceive in you. This will begin to grow and do warfare with the new creation man. These are called oppressing spirits. They oppress the new man. If you reject these failure thoughts, the good seed will mature and bring forth Christian character. The Word, Jesus, was implanted or conceived in you when you accepted Him. You may find it helpful to refer to this.
James 1:18 of his own will begat he us with 116
Birthing
the word of truth....
You were begotten or birthed by the word. It is imperative to obey the voice of Jesus that speaks from the inner man.
James 1:21 wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted (implanted) word, which is able to save your souls.
Prepare your heart with right attitudes. Then yield to the word which lives within you. (Receive with meekness the implanted word,) This gives you direction and guidance in daily living. The ministry of Christ is in you. It continues to mature from glory to glory as we follow on to know the Lord. Continual care must be taken to produce growth. This is a daily process. You will harvest (birth) different areas of your Christ nature at different times. Any area of your life which you yield to Him, becomes stronger and stronger until you bring forth the nature of Jesus in that
117
King-Priest
area. This never stops unless you stop yielding to Him. You are constantly birthing new areas of the new man or the old man. Birthing can bring forth the full nature of Jesus.
II Cor 3:18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory....
There are no limitations. You can come to the full stature of Jesus. Keep working. God waits for your obedience. The full birthing will probably manifest itself at the return of Jesus.
I John 3:2 beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when He shall appear, we shall be like Him; for we shall see Him as He is.
You can apply these principles not only for yourself but for your nation and the
118
Birthing world. As you pray for world conditions you become pregnant on the truth that God is bringing a mighty revival. You become pregnant on the truth that the Creator God in you is turning nations to Him. After you have conceived these truths, then comes the warfare during the gestation period. Following the gestation travailing and full birthing. comes the
Do not speak negatively concerning your government, your nation, politicians, or world conditions. Do not believe the news reports, and the doom and gloom preachers. They will cause you to abort your holy child and conceive the evil one.
Spiritual Travail Has a Part to Play During Gestation Period and Birth
119
King-Priest
Paul and Travail

Galatians 4:19 My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you,
Paul was in travail for the saints in the Galatian church. From what I observe from studying the epistles, he was more or less in travail for all saints in all churches. Paul compares the natural child birth to that of the spiritual. Struggle and travail are involved in the birth of a child. The same is true in the birthing of spiritual truths. Some things birth easier than others. Some have been able to walk through childbirth with almost no pain. This is the exception rather than the rule. Some areas of the Spirit require less travail in birthing than others.
All Nature Travails

Romans 8:22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain 120
Birthing
together until now.
All of nature travails and groans to birth the full ministry of the sons on the earth and the full manifestation at His coming. This is the spiritual reason for the earthquakes, severe storms, drought, floods etc.
We Are in Travail
Romans 8:23 And not only [they], but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, [to wit], the redemption of our body.
Every Christian is in constant travail while in this body. We must give birth to the greater ministry that is coming forth in the body of Christ in these days just prior to His return. The Spirit of God in us travails for us and with us.
Yielding to Travail
121
King-Priest Romans 8:26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
As you travail in the Spirit, you are cooperating with the Spirit of travail and are birthing things in your life or the lives of others. As you yield to travail, the spirit cooperates and begins to travail in and through you. This also tongues. applies to speaking in
Paul said in I Corinthians 14:14: . .. If I pray in an [unknown] tongue, my

spirit prayeth...
As you yield to the Holy Spirit and begin to speak in tongues, the Holy Spirit works with you and prays in tongues through you. Sometimes this is heavy travail for a need in the body or the end-time revival. At other times it is light travail.
122
Birthing
Yielding to Weeping in Travail

James 4:9 Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and [your] joy to heaviness.
These people were carnal Christians. James called them to repentance. He commanded them to weep before God for their sins. These people were mean. They did not feel like weeping. Do not wait for a weeping spirit to hit you. Weep for your sins and for the sins of others. The Holy Spirit will help you. As you repent for your sins or the sins of others, yield to weeping and groaning in the Spirit. This will bring a release in the spirit realm. Do not confuse this with the sad weeping spirit, called "I feel so sorry for myself." If you have a self pity spirit, you need some one to encourage you and help you get deliverance.
123
King-Priest
I am talking about travail for the needs of others. This does not rule out travailing for your own needs. If you think you are without sin, compare your life to that of Jesus. If you are not producing His full ministry, you have sin. Most Christians have the sin of laziness. They are too lazy to press into the full resurrection ministry of which Paul spoke in Philippians 3:10.
Our Daily Pressures Are Part of Travail and Birthing

Jesus travailed as He suffered.
Hebrews 5:7 Who in the days of His flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared; Hebrews 5:8 Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered; 124
Birthing Pressures enabled Jesus, the perfect son of God, to bring forth or birth new realms of obedience in His maturing life.
I Peter 5:10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle [you].
Sufferings are part of the birthing process. After suffering, stability is birthed in you. Even those things which are the result of our own sins can serve as a birthing process. God can take everything and make it work out for His glory and your blessing.
Legalism
Please do not take this to mean that this is the only way to pray. If I presented that attitude, it would be bondage and legalism. Though I have mentioned many ways of praying in this book, take them as helps only. Use what flows with you. Learn to flow with the Spirit.
125
King-Priest
The things I mentioned in this book are basic and I use them regularly. I have some variation from time to time, but usually I stick with the repentance and weeping for others in my prayer life. Do what is comfortable for you. Now get on with your ministry. king-priest
Continue interceding and birthing the king-priest ministry in the body of Christ.

Rivers in This Life

God Controls the Rivers
There is hope for our day. Evil is not in charge. Jesus in you is the real authority. He controls the world. God desires to move in our day.
Psalms 74:15 Thou didst cleave the fountain and the flood: thou driedst up mighty rivers.
God controls everything. He makes the fountains, and He dries up mans mighty rivers of wealth and power.
Jeremiah 51:13 O thou that dwellest upon many waters, abundant in treasures, thine end is come...
Mans vast treasures, which are often used to enslave mankind, are still under Gods control. That which is used in an evil way will soon come to an end. By Him, mans resources which are being used to enslave mankind will be
127
King-Priest
destroyed.
Proverbs 21:1 The kings heart [is] in the hand of the LORD, [as] the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will.
God controls the kings rivers of success and prosperity. God makes him succeed or fail. God raised up Babylon to destroy Israel; but because of Babylons violence in doing so, He raised up Persia to destroy her. Cyrus, King of Persia, was then used to restore Israel.
II Chronicles 36:23 Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia ... God hath charged me to build him an house in Jerusalem....
The world revolves around Gods people. When they serve God, they are blessed and the nations that honor them are blessed. When they rebel, God causes things to go against them. As long as Solomon served God, nothing was withheld from him or the children of Israel. When he departed from
128
Rivers in This Life serving the Lord, the Lord stirred up adversaries to oppose him.
Man Thinks He Controls the Rivers

Ezekiel 29:3... Behold, I [am] against thee, Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great dragon that lieth in the midst of his rivers, which hath said, My river [is] mine own, and I have made it for myself.
Man thinks he controls commerce, finances, transportation and most every thing else. The bigger he gets, the more he believes he is god in these areas.
Gods Hand Still Capable of Polluting Mans Evil Rivers

Exodus 7:19 ... Take thy rod, and stretch out thine hand upon the waters of Egypt, upon their streams, upon their rivers, and upon their ponds, and upon all their pools of water, that they may become blood.
At any given command, God is capable of fouling any and all of mans rivers.

Jaw Hooks
Ezekiel 29:4 But I will put hooks in thy jaws, and I will cause the fish of thy rivers to stick unto thy scales, and I will bring thee up out of the midst of thy rivers, and all the fish of thy rivers shall stick unto thy scales. Ezekiel 29:5 And I will leave thee [thrown] into the wilderness, thee and all the fish of thy rivers: thou shalt fall upon the open fields...
God pleads with evil man only so long before He does something about it. He puts a hook in his jaw and lifts him and all who swim with him up out of their riches and drops them in the wilderness.
God Will Dry Up All Evil Rivers

Zechariah 10:11 And he shall pass through the sea with affliction, and shall smite the waves in the sea, and all the deeps of the river shall dry up: and the pride of Assyria shall be brought down, and the sceptre of Egypt shall depart away.

Rivers in This Life destroyed by God using the words of a prophet. The prophet heard from God and spoke. In Gods time it was fulfilled.
Nahum 2:6 The gates of the rivers shall be opened, and the palace shall be dissolved.
It has been theorized that greater Nineveh was a large metropolis of approximately one million people surrounded and protected by canals. Babylon and the Medes came against them. A sudden rise in the rivers washed away the gates of the city. Nineveh was destroyed at this time approximately 607 B.C. What really happened? Twenty years prior to this Nahum, the man of God, prophesied its fall. (Nahum chapter two.) God controls mans rivers. The amazing thing is that He uses man to do it as he yields to the Lord.
