WRITINGS OF THE
MELCHIZEDEK PRIESTHOOD
My sheep hear My voice
and another they will not follow- John
Preface
In consideration of preparing this collection of writings, Father impressed upon my spirit that His sheep know His voice and follow Him. They will not follow another. This truth has washed over my spirit in ever-increasing reality with each passing day, since life in the wilderness is at times a poignant reminder that the incidence of those who hear His voice and follow Him is rare. That the remnant of Israyah is small, a little flock, becomes an experience that is both joyous and painful: joyous to be part of the called and chosen, but painful because many of YHVH’s own people are not yet in the fold. True to the words of the prophet Amos, a famine is in the land: not for bread, but for the hearing of the word of YHVH. We see and experience this famine each day, knowing there are many of YHVH’s sons and daughters who are not awake. A spiritual deficit exists in the land that spells danger. Many are unaware that they are on the road to destruction. The immediate need for YHVH’s Israyah to awaken unto truth and righteousness has stirred us into a deeper commitment to our calling as intercessors and students of His word. The needs of the Body at large as well as our personal needs and those of the ministry have pressed us to lean more upon Him Who is faithful. We have experienced Father’s faithfulness in ways that cause us to weep. Our spirits are poured out in praise unto YHVH for the many blessings we experience daily in what we consider to be the day of our humiliation.
Those who are traveling the road into His kingdom, know the terrain is rocky at times and filled with many blind curves. Without a doubt, it is a walk of faith. As YHVH’s sovereign hand reorders His universe and establishes His kingdom, our lives experience the Master potter remolding our clay. Many times our vessels take a new form, because YHVH’s Spirit has done a deeper work in us. We are pressured to put off our childish ways and put on the maturity of a son, the Son of righteousness, Who rises with healing in His wings to restore us unto the fullness of Messiah. This is a great work, a great processing that any candidate for the kingdom must undergo. Without transformation, we cannot expect to see our King. Flesh and blood cannot stand in the presence of the Almighty. The old man in us must die. Many times the death process is ugly and painful, nevertheless the flesh must be crucified. YHVH is looking for a people who will put off the garments of the flesh to receive His robe of righteousness. We must be clothed in His garments of salvation, if we are to stand before Him this day, when He shall destroy all evil in the earth. Judging from the level of sin and degradation that pervades the world, it is clear that YHVH has a great work to do to clean up this universe. That His Israyah are called to partner with Him in this monumental undertaking is an awesome and sobering reality, one that should cause the sons and daughters of YHVH to examine their lives carefully in light of His will and purposes so that they will, indeed, accomplish what they have been sent here to do.
These writings are published as an encouragement and exhortation to YHVH’s little flock who, in these times of extremity, need spiritual support. As we know, it will be the spiritual food that will sustain us in our walk into the kingdom. All the temporal, earthly provisions, will not bring us into the kingdom. Only a blood-bought experience with the Lamb of Calvary will bring us into the higher depths of YHVH’s vast domain known as His kingdom. From a personal standpoint, I am thankful for the faithfulness of My heavenly Father to bring me to a place where I could be taught the way into His kingdom. There are few teachers of righteousness in Israyah. Be diligent to find a true teacher of the word and search out the will of YHVH for your life. Time is short. Find those who will help you know Messiah and grow in the knowledge of the holy Spirit. Be willing to make changes in your life that could be substantial.
YHVH’s storm is coming. For many years we have warned Israyah of His impending judgments upon the land. America has a destiny to fulfill as the appointed place of YHVH for His people, and it is a nation under Divine judgment. It is no secret that the depth of corruption that has befallen our nation is the direct result of the rebellion of YHVH’s peope who failed to uphold the standard of the kingdom. Over the generations, there have been countless casualties on the battlefield for YHVH’s kingdom. Because of our disobedience as a called and set apart people, we have suffered great losses for the sake of the kingdom and reaped for ourselves the rightful indignation of the Almighty who comes now to correct His people. Scripture says that whom YHVH loves, He chastens, and if ever there were a day when Israyah needed to be chastened, it is now. As the end of this age quickly approaches, we can expect great upheavals both personal and corporate. The body of Messiah, i.e. the family of Israyah, which is sadly splintered and scattered must be healed. We believe this healing will come through much pain, heartache, and sorrow. One way or another, YHVH will have His way. He will establish HIS kingdom.
We therefore hope this collection of Melchizedek writings will feed your spirit in new depths and give light in greater dimensions to your walk in Messiah. It is a blessing for us to share those treasures which the holy Spirit has given us. Above all, we must seize the day for Messiah and dig deeper into our spiritual roots as His chosen people, that royal priesthood that He said He would have in this day. Let us with all joy and diligence prepare to meet our YHVH!
In His Excellent Love and Service,
Mary
