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 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.

Key {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 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 David's throne.
You are seated with Jesus on His throne.

You are of the House of David.
The house of David is as God.

{1 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 in you.

Key {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 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.

{2 Samuel 22:30} For by thee I have run through a troop: by my God have I leaped over a wall.
{2 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.

{1 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, Jonathan, Gideon or
any other person who lived prior to the resurrection.
You have the anointing of the resurrected Christ.

Key {THE POWER OF WORDS}

The words of a prophet released a backslidden king to do great exploits.

{1 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.

{1 Kings 20:21}... Slew the Syrians with a great slaughter.

The following year the Syrians rebuilt their army only to be defeated once more.

{1 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 filled the country.

{1 Kings 20:29}... Israel slew of the Syrians an hundred thousand footmen in one day.

Israel destroyed the enemy who outnumbered them many times.

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.

Key {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 destroy evil and build and create good.

He prophesied the destruction of unrepentant nations.

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 king-priests from their slumber.

He has made you "More than conquerors."

You are over nations and kingdoms just as Jeremiah.

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
God's kings speaks words of victory concerning their leadership.

You will see greater changes as you spend more time with the Father in prayer.

Key {YOU ARE TO RULE}

{Isaiah 9:6}... The government shall be upon his shoulder:
and his name shall be called 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.

Key {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 Lord's 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 man's persistence, 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 18:1}... 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 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.

Key {GOD'S 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 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.

CHAPTER THREE -
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 Father's 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 demand as it is the foundation of real faith.
