The Power of Your Thoughts

Shifting Perspectives and Beliefs Are you operating in alignment with your identity as a priest of God, or do you perceive yourself as a pauper? In Proverbs 23:7, King Solomon reminds us, “For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he” (King James Version). Your self-perception and beliefs shape your reality. How you view yourself and your life directly impacts your experiences.

Everything begins with the state of your heart and your thoughts. …

The Mindset of a Priest of God

Abundant Life Through the Word Jesus made it clear that His purpose was to give us abundant life (Jn. 10:10). In the Old Testament, we also discover the pathway to prosperity, which is through meditating on the Book of the Law (Josh. 1:8).

Our praises, flowing from our lips, confess His name and glorify Him. Acts of Goodness and …

The Purification through Christ’s Blood Both Christian priests and Old Testament priests share a common purification. The precious blood of Jesus has purified Christians (Eph. 1:7), just as Old Testament priests were sprinkled with the blood of animals (Lev. 8:23). This purification sets Christians apart and emphasizes their role in offering sacrifices. While Old Testament priests sacrificed livestock as their currency, Christians now sacrifice their time and money, recognizing their value in today’s world. By giving these offerings, Christians consecrate all they possess to the Lord. The Intercessory Role Another similarity lies in the intercessory role of priests. Just as …

The Privilege of Offering Sacrifices

Honored to Make Sacrifices Making a sacrifice is a position of honor. It is a privilege bestowed upon those who have been chosen. In the Old Testament, the high priest made sacrifices on the people’s behalf. However, even the high priest, being human, had to offer sacrifices for his own sins. This privilege was given by God Himself, as exemplified in the case of Aaron (Hebrews 5:3-4). Entering God’s Most Holy Place Only the high priest had the extraordinary privilege of entering God’s Most Holy Place. This was a sacred honor, as entering this holy place without being appointed by …
