faithful witness

“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, And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever”. Amen. - Revelation 1:5-6

You are the children of God and God is seeing you as kings and priests. If you know and realize who you are in Christ, then you will able to receive the blessings of inheritance in Christ. Do you know who you are? You are a royal priesthood. “But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light” (1 Peter 2:9) If God has chosen you as a royal priesthood then you are peculiar to Him and God has separated you from other people in this world. In the Old Testament we come across the duties of a priest. The priests are those who carry the covenant of the Lord. “At that time the LORD separated the tribe of Levi, to bear the ark of the covenant of the LORD, to stand before the LORD to minister unto him, and to bless in his name, unto this day”.(Deut 10:8) Wherever the ark of the covenant of the Lord went and The Lord was with them in that place and His presence was always there. Yes, In the same way as you are a Royal Priesthood you will always be filled with His presence. For this reason You are saved and God filled you with the anointing of Holy Spirit. “And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you”.(Jn 14:16-17)
When you are filled with the presence of God, whatever may be the size of the problem it will melt before his Presence. Yes, you will see this when you always filled with his Presence. “The hills melted like wax at the presence of the LORD, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth”.(Ps 97:5) Wherever the glorious Presence of God is felt His grace will always be manifest. “But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel”: (2Tim 1:10) Dear beloved if you like to get filled with the presence of God always, then you must lead a Holy life. The Lord appeared to Moses in the midst of a Bush. At that time the place were filled with the Presence of God. God called the place that filled with his Presence as Holy ground. “And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt. And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I. And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground”.(Exo 3:3-5) You are the royal priesthood and you must always be filled with the presence of God and so you should live and lead a Holy life. When you walk according to the word of God and Live a Holy life sure you always feel the Presence of God in you. Now this commitment to get yourself filled with the presence of God will make you live and Lead a Holy life .You will see all your problems disappear.

“Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;” - Hebrew 3:1
