We have been called a nation of Prophets, Priests and Kings. What we don’t realize, is that these are not all separate offices, but are found as one office in the personage of Jesus Christ. Scripture tells us that we have been predestined to be conformed to the image of His(God’s) Son. Image is not simply external looks, but it must take in the internal enablement and the mandated calling and office(s) in which he (Jesus) walked. My children don’t just look like me, but they have my characteristics and attitudes (positive or negative) and abilities. It is genetically encoded and environmentally adjusted within them. In the case of being the express image of Jesus, we have the genetic coding that comes from him, and he is now placing us within environments where those callings, abilities, and offices inherent within us by the grace of God and empowerment of the Holy Ghost are able to gestate and manifest themselves. Place a lump of coal under pressure, and a diamond will come forth from it, the same holds true for Christians, put them in a pressured environment, and the prophet, priest and King will shine through. The trick is allowing it! We must stay sensitive to the Holy Spirit and His leading in our lives, and not fear when Jesus begins to call forth what he has already placed within us to fulfill his mandate upon the earth. Do you sense the pressure? Now its time to hear the voice! Baruch Hashem!
