High and lifted up

There has always been a kingly and a priestly anointing on God's people. In the Old Testament, men, like David and Hezekiah, were anointed to serve in an office as king or priest. In the Old Testament there needed to be a man that kept the Word close to him, which was the king, who would inevitably lead God's people accordingly. Likewise the priest lived an untainted live, as close as he could, that he might minister between God and man. So the two offices have always been and the two should be in harmony for the people to have the blessings joy , and peace on every border.By the spirit we are to do this today. John the Revelator wrote in Rev 1:5 "And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, vs 1:6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen" He has made us kings and priests unto himself. That is overwhelming when you think about it. Now jumping back to the Old Testament again to the story of one of Israel's greatest kings. He had a long reign and did right in the eye"s of the Lord and was very prosperous. But in his prosperity his heart was lifted in pride and this king, whose name is Uzziah, went into the temple and started offering incense on the incense alter which he was not anointed to do. Azariah the priest went in with eighty other priests and confronted the king. The king was angered by this and while the incense were still in his hand God struck the king with leprosy. He spent the remaining years of his life in a separate house because of his disease. This kings disease was on his forehead which speaks of the thoughts. Spiritually reflecting a corrupt mind.This was the highest authority in the land of Israel and he was diseased. A taunt and an insult to the religious ways of the Hebrew people. Now in Isa 6:1 "In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple." In the year that this shameful king died. In the year that this mind that was so corrupt died. In the year that this authority that had no authority died. Isaiah said he saw the Lord sitting, High and lifted up, and his righteousness, his glory, his presence, his train, or skirt, his character filled the temple. Hallelujah! When we get to the place where our old thoughts die and our old ways die, the diseased man of the past die, we too will see the Lord in his glory. Let's die to the will of the flesh. Die to our Adam nature and be resurrected to the new man that see's the Lord in his strength. We are waiting for a move of the spirit but let me say we need not wait but humble ourselves and pray. Let this carnal man die and it's desires and we will see the Lord high and lifted up and his train will fill our temples. Praise the Lord Jesus!
