The Order of Melchizedek: Operate at Your Rank, Use Your Authority

If you don’t know what you have — you won’t use it!

Believers have The Order of Melchizedek but don’t know It, and don’t use It to overcome.

What is The Order of Melchizedek?

It is the highest royal military priestly Rank in The Kingdom of God.

The Melchizedek Priesthood is a Royal Military Priesthood (Genesis 18:14-20; Revelation 1:5-6, Hebrews 7:1-10; 2 Timothy 2:3) with Jesus as The Head — The King of kings, Commander-In-Chief,  ( Strong’s 747 — Archégos: Leader, Author, Pioneer, Prince; Hebrews 2:10), The High Priest.

The Melchizedek Priesthood has a special Power (dunamis) to use in reigning/rulership, military combat and priestly service: The Power of The Indestructible Life (Hebrews 7:16).

In fact and in Truth, The Power of The Indestructible Life is The Order of Melchizedek, and according to which, Jesus is Priest forever (Hebrews 7:16-17).

Make no mistake: we are in The Rank of God!

This is why God has made us sit together in The Heavenly Places, in The Fellowship of The Father and His Son and The Holy Spirit (Ephesians 2:4-6; 1 John 1:3; 1 Corinthians 1:9; 2 Corinthians 13:14; Philippians 2:1).

Our Rank (The Order of Melchizedek) is above all ranks of angels — both holy and evil.

This is why, “Michael the archangel, in contending with the devil, when he disputed about the body of Moses, dared not bring against him a reviling accusation, but said, “The Lord rebuke you!” ‘(Jude 1:9 NKJV).

But WE, because we have The Rank, The Order of Melchizedek like Jesus, we equally have His Power and Authority to attack the devil and his angels as led by The Holy Spirit (Luke 9:1; 10:19; Ephesians 3:10; 6:12-18).

The Order of Melchizedek has that Level of POWER — The Highest Level of Power and Authority in The Kingdom of God: The Power of The Indestructible Life! (Hebrews 7:16-17).

The angels of God do not have that Level of Power.  The devil and his minions certainly don’t.

Only Jesus and His saints do — as He has granted us in Luke 9:1; 10:19; Ephesians 3:10; 6:12-18; Jeremiah 1:10; 2 Corinthians 10:4-6.

This Power is emanating from The Cross — from The Sacrifice of Christ; and only those who have been crucified — Christ and His believers (Galatians 2:20) have It.

Only Christ and those who have been made alive together with Him by God have this Power.

It is The Power of The Cross, it is The Power of The Blood, it is The Power of Christ, It is The Power of His Resurrection. (See 1 Corinthians 1:18; Ephesians 1:19-20; Philippians 3:10).

To contend with the devil, Michael the archangel had to say to him, “The LORD rebuke you!” ‘(Jude 1:9 NKJV).

But we, in The Name of Jesus, directly rebuke the devil!  Hallelu-YAH!

( The difference?  Michael had to have The LORD rebuke the devil, but WE, being of a higher Rank (The Order of Melchizedek), directly rebuke him ourselves in The Name of Jesus! )

Do you see how much Power God has given us in Christ?

He has given “EXCEEDING Greatness of His Power”to us who believe, exactly as He displayed in raising His Son from the dead (Ephesians 1:19-20).

You see then that it is only we the saints who follow Jesus on white horses in that epic final military operation in Revelation 19:8,14.

Because the believer in Jesus is of the highest Rank (The Order of Melchizedek), the least believer is greater than the greatest ever prophet: John the Baptist!

“For I say to you, among those born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist; but he who is least in The Kingdom of God is greater than he.”   Luke 7:28 NKJV.

Use your Rank — The Order of Melchizedek in supplications, prayers, intercessions, giving of thanks, decrees and declarations, and other royal, military priestly service in God for God.

For example, to take delivery of your blessings, you can repeatedly decree and declare:

“In The Name of Jesus Christ, having The Order of Melchizedek, I demand and command my blessings released and delivered to me right now.”

Likewise, to heal and be healed, you can decree and declare repeatedly:

“In The Name of Jesus Christ, having The Order of Melchizedek, I demand and command healing in/ of … [say as applicable] right now.”

In our warfare, you have to invoke and use your Authority, Power and Rank in Christ.

You have to take it by Faith and Force — Kingdom Force.

As our LORD has said, “And from the days of John the Baptist until now The Kingdom of Heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by Force.“   Matthew 11:12 NKJV.

The greatest military might on earth, the best law enforcement by men, and all other human abilities cannot fight and stop evil spirits. Human authorities don’t have The Power, they don’t have The Authority. Only we do in Christ.

Only The Church of Jesus Christ can fight the power of darkness — as authorised, mandated, powered and empowered by Him. (See Luke 9:1; 10:19; Ephesians 3:10; 6:12-18; 2 Corinthians 10:4-6).

This is all by The Order of Melchizedek.

A quick note: 

In The Word, there are two Divine Orders (Service Ranks): The Order of Aaron and The Order of Melchizedek (Hebrews 7:11).

The latter is FAR superior to the former.

The Order of Aaron (The Levitical Priesthood) was:

• not royal
• not according to The Endless Life
• not unchanging
• not forever

Who is Melchizedek?

The man Melchizedek is the new man — a royal military priest of God. (See Hebrews 7:1-10; Revelation 1:5-6; 5:10; 2 Timothy 2:3).

Being a royal military priest who would fight at the end of the age, the very first act by Melchizedek was to celebrate the war victory God gave Abraham when he (Melchizedek) “brought out bread and wine; he was the priest of GOD MOST HIGH. And he blessed him and said: “Blessed be Abram of GOD MOST HIGH, Possessor of Heaven and earth; and blessed be GOD MOST HIGH, Who has delivered your enemies into your hand.”  (Genesis 14:18-20).

Melchizedek, the new man in Christ Jesus, is a king, a soldier and a priest — just like Jesus Christ Himself, Who is “The Great King”, Who “in Righteousness judges and makes war” and is “a Priest forever according to The Order of Melchizedek.” (Matthew 5:35; Revelation 19:11; Hebrews 7:17, 21).

As I wrote in 2020, Melchizedek is “the new man” — one “made like The Son of God” (Hebrews 7:3; Romans 8:29).

Many believe wrongly that Jesus Christ was Melchizedek (as I also used to believe).

But Hebrews 7:3 refers to Melchizedek as being “without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like The Son of God, remains a priest continually.”

This could not have been Jesus; because:

• Jesus as The Son of Man had a father and a mother;

• The Man Christ Jesus has a genealogy;

• As a Man, Jesus had beginning of days when He was born in Bethlehem, and had the end of life when He was put to death in The Flesh (but made alive by The Spirit);

•  Jesus IS The Son of God; The Son of God cannot be “made like The Son of God” (Hebrews 7:3);

• Jesus is “High Priest forever” (Hebrews 6:20), not just “a priest continually.” (Hebrews 7:3).

Priests served under the high priest. WE are priests continually serving under Jesus Christ The High Priest forever.

Finally, Hebrews 7:8 says “of [Melchizedek] it is witnessed that he lives.”

This mysterious man who ministered to Abraham, LIVES today. That’s the new man, yes, the new creation in Christ Jesus. Hallelu-YAH! GLORY TO GOD!!

Being pre-existing in Christ and God and only now brought forth (Romans 8:29; James 1:18), the new man existed in Jesus before Abraham, and ministered to Abraham in Genesis 14. (With God all things are possible, remember?)

Jesus said, “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.” (John 8:58 NKJV).  And He has the new man, the new creation in Him before Abraham was (2 Corinthians 5:17).

John was shown many things in Revelation (including The New Heaven and The New Earth, as well as The Holy City, New Jerusalem) thousands of years before they are to happen.

So was Abraham given the privilege to be served by the new man thousands of years before his manifestation now at the end of the age.

“Now beyond all contradiction the lesser is blessed by the better.”   Hebrews 7:7 NKJV.

The new man, the believer in Jesus Christ is Melchizedek, and has The Order of Melchizedek (The highest Service Rank in The Kingdom of God).

Brother, sister, you have The Order of Melchizedek. Operate at your Rank, use your Authority to fight, reign and rule in the earth.

No one, NOTHING, can stop you if you do.

No opposition can stop you if you use your Jesus-given Power and Authority, and operate at your Rank: The Order of Melchizedek.

Hallelu-YAH! GLORY TO GOD for our so GREAT A Salvation!

Jacob, an apostle of JESUS CHRIST by The Will of GOD, according to The Promise of Life Which is in CHRIST JESUS, (2 Timothy 1:1).
Like John, I like to put my head to The Heart of JESUS so as to know and do His Will always. What’s in His Heart is what matters now and FOREVER. His Heart’s Desire is my only desire. My will is to do His Will.
As John was, I am the disciple whom JESUS loves. And like Paul, I am “the prisoner of CHRIST JESUS” (Ephesians 3:1) for His Purpose forever: to obey Him always.
NB. Surely, the disciple whom JESUS loves and “the prisoner of CHRIST JESUS”, like ALL The Promises of GOD, are available to every believer to obtain, just as John and Paul did.
“And having been perfected, He [JESUS] became The Author of Eternal Salvation to all who obey Him,” Hebrews 5:9.
