The Devastation That Forms A Royal Priesthood
*Listen to the Show notes and podcast transcript with this multi-language player.
Summary
This conversation explores God’s work in forming not isolated individuals, but a corporate people—a family and a royal priesthood. Through devastation, humility, and submission, God is bringing forth a purified company that exists not for personal gain, recognition, or ministry ambition, but to minister to the Lord Himself.
The family emphasize that devastation is not meaningless suffering but a divine process that strips away self-interest and prepares God’s people to walk as sons, worshipers, and priests. This priesthood is not defined by position or title, but by a spiritual state of being—one that fulfills God’s eternal purpose revealed from the foundation of the world.
Show Notes
- God is shifting from individual ministry emphasis to acorporate, family expression
- Teaching and ministry flow through thebody, not a single voice
- Each believer carries a different aspect of what the Spirit is speaking
- Devastation humbles the heart and removes pride and self-ambition
- God is raising acompany, not elevating personalities
- Worship is offering ourselves fully to God as living sacrifices
- Priesthood is aspiritual state, not an individual role
- The motivation of walking with God changes from “what I get” to “what God gets”
- God is forming a people for His own possession
- Sons of God walk in the earth as Christ walked
- True priesthood is formed through submission, not recognition
- God is the potter; we are the clay
Key Quotes
