Synopsis - The Melchizedekal Order
by Doug Vermeulen
Jesus has complete understanding of our lives and situation.
Hebrews 2:17 And for this purpose it was necessary that in all respects He should be made to resemble His brothers, so that He might become a compassionate and faithful High Priest in things relating to God, in order to atone for the sins of the people.
Hebrews 2:18 For inasmuch as He has Himself felt the pain of temptation and trial, He is also able instantly to help those who are tempted and tried.
We find in the scriptures the following statements -
Hebrews 4:14 Inasmuch, then, as we have in Jesus, the Son of God, a great High Priest who has passed into Heaven itself, let us hold firmly to our profession of faith.
Hebrews 4:15 For we have not a High Priest who is unable to feel for us in our weaknesses, but one who was tempted in every respect just as we are tempted, and yet did not sin.
Hebrews 4:16 Therefore let us come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our times of need.
As we read through the scriptures throughout the Bible, we need to notice that in the Godhead there is: -
Corporate Responsibility With Individual Freedom Of Function
Individual Freedom Of Function With Corporate Responsibility
Therefore that is the only possible way for us to live.
In the book through detailed questionnaires, which are done in such a way as to not precondition us, we can know exactly what God had in mind for us from before the foundation of the earth.
We should not try to do things other than the way God does things, if we want success.
The book looks at Jesus as Melchizedek, and what that means for us as believers.
We look at in, detail, what it means to be a priest in the Order of Melchizedek.
If we do all the things listed in the book, it will bring in the 'Church without spot or wrinkle.' [Ephesians 5:27]. A glorious Church.
We have a multiple role as saints/believers/priests/kings
Who is the Order based on?
Jesus the High Priest of the Order of Melchizedek.
Is He the only one?
We are part of the Body of Jesus Christ and there we are priests and kings in the Order of Melchizedek
There is a complete explanation of who we are in the Order.
There is a complete explanation of what we do in the Order.
There is a complete explanation of what we become in the Order.
When we live in and move in the Order of Melchizedek we enter our full destiny in Jesus Christ, We live and move as part of His Body. There is no higher destiny, than being directly connected to the Godhead, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
