Transitioning from Darkness into the Light
God is Preparing His Kingly Priests for Service
But you are a CHOSEN RACE, A ROYAL PRIESTHOOD, A HOLY NATION, A PEOPLE FOR GOD’S OWN POSSESSION, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;
1 Peter 2:9
PURIFICATION – PRESENTATION – DEDICATION
God is raising up and preparing a people who will carry out both kingly and priestly duties over the nations.
Let us plead the BLOOD over and acknowledge His great mercy for the nations as they come before HIM in worship and praise, aligning themselves to His righteous purposes. As the following scriptural account demonstrates, it is GOD alone who restores us, removes sin and clothes us with His Glory, to have both authority and power in heaven and on earth. Please consider this passage of scripture and it’s application as you come forth for HOLY Duty to our GOD and this nation.
Here are today’s scriptures:
Zechariah 3 (all) (Some have taught this passage is speaking of JESUS, however looking at it more closely you will recognize this is speaking about the Body of Christ – still a divine mystery at the time of the writing of Zechariah).
vs. 1- Identify the characters…
Angel of the LORD, Joshua the High Priest, angels, Satan
vs. 2- Who rebukes Satan?
This may destroy a “sacred cow”, but nevertheless it is sound scriptural understanding that ONLY GOD has the authority to rebuke Satan. (See Jude1:9)
We have authority to bind and loose, these are legal terms as we operate in the Courts of Heaven. (See Matthew 16:19; 18:18-20; 28:18; and Isaiah 22:22 )
vs. 2 – Joshua is identified as one plucked from the fire.
Nowhere is Jesus ever defined like this in scripture; there are more CLUES to this being someone other than Jesus.
vs. 3-4 – Joshua’s condition is unclean
Because of uncleanness, Satan has access to him, but once God removes it, Satan is no longer seen. (See James 4:7-8)
vs. 4-5 – The LORD removes iniquity and the angels dress Joshua.
It is God alone who cleanses us from all iniquity and clothes us with righteousness. § Once we are clean, Satan has no place in us and therefore must leave.
Turban of Justice and Robes of Righteousness: § Our minds are renewed and set on a heavenly perspective, a KINGDOM MINDSET.
vs. 7 – The LORD’s instructions and our directives, These are very specific instructions:
IF WE WILL DO THESE THINGS, GOD WILL DO THESE THINGS. This is a Bilateral Covenant!
WE WILL:
GOVERN HIS HOUSE
HAVE CHARGE OF HIS COURTS
HAVE FREE ACCESS TO ANGELS AND THE HEAVENS WHERE THEY STAND
ONLY IF WE:
Walk in His ways
Perform His service
Basic instructions: Please read each scripture one at a time, expounding on it, drawing on the revelation being made! After praying over it, as the Holy Spirit leads, move on to the next scripture doing the same.
***Please do this each hour as the Holy Spirit will release deeper revelations and greater understanding of God’s plan and purpose for His Royal Priesthood to America and the nations of the earth. Allow Him to reveal his plan for you in an even more intimate way knowing that you are walking in spirit and truth!
Please use the console when able and ask individuals to identify themselves when they pray. Please do not ask for a roll call at the beginning of your session as it uses time we could spend on praying.

Let God’s LIGHT penetrate the darkness and do not focus on the darkness,
but rather on how all is being brought out into the LIGHT.
