Two dimensions of Worship Adoration Prayer

Image
Our Worship, Adoration & Prayer happens / works for two reasons; A. We humans worship Gd because He is the Mighty Gd and we are the creatures of his hand. He created the galaxies and - according to His Image - He created us to live in noble status before His presence. After the ruined status (the sin), He restored the sonship in us by giving us a reconciled, adopted status through His Son. B. We, believers, restored humans worship and pray with adoration because we want to focus on the Heavenly ID: seeing Gd by the Heaven first, learning the Heaven through Gd's eyes. We practice the new life, proclaiming & representing the Heaven as the royal priesthood: (1Pt 2:9), and from this position, "acting" the Heaven: "Your will be done on the Earth     as it is in the Heaven" · Paul's foundation · ID - Cause and Effect · Jesus' two prayer models

The misled leader 2

Image
and the teetering vessel of the Lord Study 2. The conflict described in 2 Samuel 6 is really a conflict between David and the Lord. Although it is an incident with dire consequences, despite its dramatic beginning, it is an extremely powerful departure for David, a cleansing and righting of his personal identity and his worship. The spiritual foundation of his kingdom was here solidified for the next period of history. The reasons for the Uzza conflict, in brief The kings of Israel were informed about the order of the Holy things, including the use and transport of the tabernacle and ark. The community of the ark is not only the community of the priesthood but also the community of the king. .... When David entered the new, triumphant era of his life as king of his nation, he was subject to the ordinances as were all Levitical priests and leaders. So he had to be informed about the transport of the ark. Well. He was not informed. Two things, two ...

The misled leader

and the teetering vessel of the Lord Study David again brought together all the able young men of Israel—thirty thousand. He and all his men went to Baalah 1 in Judah to bring up from there the ark of God, which is called by the Name, the name of the Lord Almighty, who is enthroned between the cherubim on the ark. They set the ark of God on a new cart and brought it from the house of Abinadab, which was on the hill. Uzzah and Ahio, sons of Abinadab, were guiding the new cart with the ark of God on it, and Ahio was walking in front of it. David and all Israel were celebrating with all their might before the Lord, with castanets, 2 harps, lyres, timbrels, sistrums and cymbals. When they came to the threshing floor of Nakon, Uzzah reached out and took hold of the ark of God, because the oxen stumbled. The Lord’s anger burned against Uzzah because of his irreverent act; therefore God struck him down, and he died there beside the ark of God. Then David w...

..a right to speak

Image
since we have a right to speak (we have confidence to enter) the holy places by the blood of Jesus, by the new and living way... since we have a Great Priest over the house of God, let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean,.. our bodies washed with pure water. Heb 10:19-22

Faithful High Priest

Image
Holy brothers, you who share in a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession, who was faithful to him who appointed him, just as Moses also was faithful in all God’s house... Moses was faithful in all God’s house as a servant.. Christ is faithful over God’s house as a son. And we are his house if indeed we hold fast our confidence and our boasting in our hope.. .. For we have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original confidence firm to the end. Heb 3

Praise, Pray, Proclaim

© jhopfan.org This article is a part of the "Vitalize" pack Isaiah 62:6 Jerusalem, I have appointed watchmen on your walls; they will never be silent, day or night. There is no rest for you, who remind the Lord. Do not give Him rest until He establishes and makes Jerusalem the praise of the earth. · Does this statement only apply to Jerusalem? · Has the revelation been fulfilled? · Definition of guard? We are to continually praise, glorify and worship God – because Jesus prays that God's Kingdom will come and His will be done here on earth, as it is in the Heaven . And in heaven, there is constant praise, worship and adoration. (I wrote a study about the reflection of the Heaven here. ) We're the royal priesthood in the New Testament. So the basic priestly ministries of prayer, fasting, thanksgiving, worship and representation are our responsibility. Although you see a different order on the jhopfan.or...

Una manera sacerdotal - digna del evangelio de Cristo

Image
Maneras y Carácter dignos del Evangelio de Cristo Por lo cual debía ser en todo semejante a sus hermanos, para venir a ser misericordioso y fiel sumo sacerdote en lo que a Dios se refiere, para expiar los pecados del pueblo. Pues en cuanto él mismo padeció siendo tentado, es poderoso para socorrer a los que son tentados. Heb 2:17-18 - Reina Valera '80 Así tampoco Cristo se glorificó a sí mismo haciéndose sumo sacerdote, sino el que le dijo:  “Tú eres mi Hijo,  Yo te he engendrado hoy.” Como también dice en otro lugar:   “Tú eres sacerdote para siempre,  Según el orden de Melquisedec. ” Heb 5:5-6 Y Cristo, en los días de su carne, ofreciendo ruegos y súplicas con gran clamor y lágrimas al que le podía librar de la muerte, fue oído a causa de su temor reverente. Y aunque era Hijo, por lo que padeció aprendió la obediencia; Heb 5:7-8 Mas vosotros sois linaje escogido, real sacerdocio, nación santa, pueblo adquirido por Dios, para qu...

The Royal Priest

Image
By Bible Project 10 Episodes In this podcast series , Tim Mackie and Jon Collins trace the theme of royal priests through the Bible, beginning in the garden of Eden and culminating in Jesus. Episode 1 Priests of Eden In the story of the Bible, all the main players are prophets, priests, or kings. While it might seem foreign to us today, those three roles are intimately connected to what it means to be people created in the image of God. Join Tim and Jon for the first episode of a new series on the royal priesthood! Episode 2 Who Was Melchizedek? What do Abraham, Melchizedek, and David all have in common? They’re part of the unfolding theme of the royal priesthood in the Bible. In this week’s episode, join Tim and Jon as they explore how this theme is part of humanity’s quest to get back to the blessings of Eden. Episode 3 Doomed to Fail? The origins of Israel’s royal priesthood are anything but glamorous. From Moses rejecting God five times to Aa...

Depression or Glory

Image
Who I am? Depression exists when we under­estimate ourselves. When we look at ourselves on the natural way & observe the visible things: we turn away from the Heaven. The writer of the Ecclesiastes {King Salomon} says: “Absolute futility,” says the Teacher. “Absolute futility. Everything is futile.” What does a man gain for all his efforts that he labors at under the sun? Ecc 1:2-3 Perspective The above-mentioned section shows a problem. The problem of the perspective: " under the sun ". King Salomon started his life with splendour and glory and finished with multiple wives and concubines - alongside their multiple gods/goddesses... Well... We're not meant to focus on things "under the sun". If we did, we missed the point. Let us only be illuminated from the side of heaven! When adoration & praise happen, alongside with the worship – Heaven happens. This was the original, Davidic heritage for Salomon! 2Chron 5 7 The ...

A mennyei életünk az örömüzenethez méltó legyen

Image
Papság, életstílus és karakter "hogy mennyei polgárságban való forgolódásotok az Üzenethez méltó legyen" Krisztus ... tartozott mindenben hasonlóvá válni a testvérekhez, hogy könyörülő és Isten felé végzett szolgálatban hűséges főpap lehessen, hogy így engesztelést szerezzen a nép vétkeiért. Amennyiben ugyanis Őt magát is megkísértették szenvedésekkel, képes azokon segíteni, akik kísértést szenvednek. Heb 2:17 a Felkent sem maga adta magának a dicsőséget, hogy főpap legyen, hanem az adta, aki ezt mondta neki: „Fiam vagy te. Én ma nemzettelek téged.”; Ahogy máshol mondja, “ Melkisédek rendje szerint pap vagy te örökre”. Heb 5:5 aki hústestben töltött napjaiban erős kiáltásokkal és könnyek között könyörgéseket és esedezéseket küldött ahhoz, akinek hatalma volt arra, hogy Őt a halálból kimentse, továbbá lelkiismeretességéért meghallgatást talált, és noha Fiú volt, abból, amit szenvedett, tanulta meg az engedelmességet. Heb 5:7 ...választott ne...

A priestly manner, Christian character– worthy of the gospel of Christ

Image
Manner & Character worthy of the gospel of Christ ... he had to become like his brothers and sisters in every respect, so that he might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in the service of God, to make a sacrifice of atonement for the sins of the people. Because he himself was tested by what he suffered, he is able to help those who are being tested. Heb 2:17 Christ did not glorify himself in becoming a High Priest, but was appointed by the one who said to him, “You are my Son, today I have begotten you”; as he says also in another place, “You are a Priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek ”. Heb 5:5 In the days of his flesh, Jesus offered up prayers and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to the one who was able to save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverent submission. Although he was a Son, he learned obedience through what he suffered. Heb 5:7 ...you are a chosen race, a Royal Priesthood, a holy nati...

The Melchizedek Order & Priesthood

Image
.. oh, it sounds very mysteriously In fact – this is an important part /background of the New Covenant: an often neglected apostolic identity This article is part of the "Vitalize" pack This theme is at the heart of the New Testament: Since we Christians are the royal, priestly family, {1 Peter 2:9} to serve as priests in faith we need to understand the true position of the royal high priest Jesus Christ. He has been praying for the Kingdom and glory of Gd on Earth as it is in heaven . The following two short teachings give us a closer link to Jesus' highest rank. I. The messianic high-priestly line In the first teaching Lon Solomon explains why Jesus Christ is new , what his role is and what positive consequences this has for us. Overview Click here to enlarge & for the further details : from the flood to Melchizedek's age In the detailed picture above, you can see that Melchizedek's blessing on Abraham's life (G...
