Priest to Priest
Again, I am so excited to share with you my personal encounters, private moments with Jesus Christ. I speak a release of the holy presence, the weighty holy presence of the Living God into you in Jesus’ name.
My heart’s longing has been this one thing, to stand before the throne of the Living God and minister unto Him, to minister His Presence, every moment, of every day, of every year, for eternity. There is nothing that means anything to me outside of being in His Presence. I have often said I am like the ark of the covenant, a carrier of the Presence of the Living God. He lives in me. I feel Him burning inside of me, I feel His flames of fire physically moving, burning, glowing deep inside the center of me. This is my truth, this is who I truly am inside of me. If I were alive in the Old Testament, I would be a Levite assigned as a priest to minister unto Him. Nothing moves me the way seeing me alone, in the silence of the Tabernacle, burning incense unto the Living God possibly ever could. The honor of entering the Holy of Holies on behalf of His people Israel renders me speechless. To move in the silent holy thick weighty atmosphere of the Presence of God, every cell in my being comes alive. I was born for this very purpose, Him.
One moment as I was lost in worship, soaking in the presence of the Lord, I entered into this solitary place, a place of complete privacy and isolation from anyone or anything. It is a place of total hiddenness. As I close my eyes, my spirit enters this place of holiness, even now as I return there at this moment.
The atmosphere in this place is holy. The silence itself is holy, even the holiness is holy. It is so beautiful. I knew inside of me then and now that this was and is the Holy of Holies, a place of all encompassing intimacy and holiness, just Him, just me, and no one else.
Holy Spirit please help me describe this. As I entered this place, the High Priest of our confession appeared before me dressed in his priestly attire. Wow, my spirit man is pulling on the anointing, I can feel myself inside drawing on Him, I’m so desperate for You Lord. Jesus, the precious High Priest of our confession stood there, looking at me, so holy, so powerful, so priestly, and He smiled so wide, opened the door or wall area, to let me enter. He stood to the right side of me and motioned with His right arm for me to enter like a gentleman would welcoming a guest into His home. This is, after all, His home, “Our home actually,” He just spoke into me. As I entered in and walked by Him, Jesus smiled wider, His face lit up with happiness that I was with Him.
The floor was made of what looked like pure white marble, alive, shiny, reflective, clean, spotless, the floor itself, the marble itself, was and is holy. The walls were of a similar material, they too are holy and pure and alive. The room is sparsely decorated. To the right is a large wall made of what seemed to be a window with long white veils hanging as curtains, the light that emanated in this place was and is holy and alive. Before the window to the right was a beautiful vanity, with a large mirror encrusted in a golden frame of swirls and designs. The vanity itself was made of the most beautiful dark blue material or wood, it was solid and it too was and is holy. It looked royal like what one would see in a castle with a matching velvet seat that was long enough to seat two people.
To the left of this place was a large platform made of the same pure white holy marble, it had two steps up. I do not know what was on the platform and I still do not because my eyes were and are consistently drawn to the golden altar that is just beyond the platform, I see four horns on the corners of the altar. Up behind the golden altar with the four horns is a large veil hanging from ceiling to floor which is torn in two. The ark of the covenant is behind the veil, it’s door, open, and it’s inside now empty.
Jesus handed me matching priest garments. I found myself dressing in the same attire Jesus Christ was wearing. Jesus was helping me put everything on correctly. He took His time, He was so careful and exact with each garment and item. I felt tiny next to His majesty, He is so awesome and so kind, gentle, perfectly perfect. I was so happy, He knew I was happy being with Him. He said to me once, “I am so happy, I make you happy.”
Jesus placed a fair mitre, with a golden inscription written in it that read, “Holiness to the Lord,” upon my head. It was a powerful moment for me. Zachariah 3:5 KJV says “And I said, Let them set a fair mitre upon his (meaning Joshua) head. So they set a fair mitre upon his head, and clothed him with garments. And the angel of the Lord stood by.” When He finished helping me dress, I looked like Him and I literally just lost it. I felt such joy that I physically began to jump up and down and I actually involuntarily did a happy dance, I could not help it and I could not stop myself. I was rejoicing with pure joy, filled with happiness, and Jesus was laughing. He looked so happy that I was happy to be with Him. It was and is holy.
We then walked over to the golden altar with the four horns, I grabbed one of the horns and stood there reflecting in my heart what the word said about intercession and grabbing the horns of the altar. I recalled the horns being grabbed by those who needed help, like Adonijah in 1 Kings 1:50 KJV. I felt this need to lay upon the altar at that moment, so I did. I laid my life upon the altar before the High Priest of my confession in the Holy of Holies. We prayed and interceded at that altar, I do not know for how long.
Thereafter, I was standing before Jesus Christ, both of us wearing matching priestly attire in front of the platform. He turned me around and pulled my back into His chest and He took my hands in His hands, my hands were under His and He extended both of our arms outward to the right and to the left. Without speaking to me, I heard Him say, “Move with my movements, when I move my right hand up, move your right hand in sync with mine, and when I move my left hand up as holding your hand, move your left arm with mine.” He repeatedly spoke to me without saying a word to move the way He moves, to imitate only what He does, He and I were so close in proximity that when He moved, I moved. When He stepped, I stepped, when He leaned far to the right, I leaned far to the right with Him. He began to move in dance like movements and motion and I leaned against Him, I yielded to His movements, to His motion, and relinquished control. I relinquished my movements into Him, I let go and leaned all that I am upon His being and He took over the movements of the both of us. He directed each direction, we moved across the floor in that place. If He turned, I turned, if He lifted His right arm, my right arm lifted with His, if He put His left hand on my left hip, my left hand went to my left hip as we continued to spin slowly, every single movement Jesus Christ made, I made in complete unison with Him. When He stopped, I stopped. He did not speak a word yet He spoke instructions into me. We were one in all that we did, I looked like Him. I moved just like He moved. This went on for quite some time. I never wanted it to end. We looked amazing! I was watching us from the vanity seat and our movements became so in tune, so smooth. So holy. So silent, each movement choreographed by the Most High. He did not make one move without my mirroring it exactly. It was powerful to witness.
I do not know how long we moved as one, it was for quite some time. Eventually, we sat side by side on the vanity seat staring at each other in the mirror. He is beautiful!! He is the beautiful one in all the earth, in all the heavens, anywhere!! We both sat up super straight and we looked alike, our reflection in the mirror, we looked alike! We were in matching identical priestly garments!! I had my face, I was me still but I resembled Him, I conformed to His image as I yielded my movements unto Him. I thought of Romans 8:30 KJV, “For whom He did foreknow, He also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He may be the firstborn among many brethren.” I watched that very verse come alive into me as I sat there, seeing my reflection, looking like, resembling, becoming as He is, as I yielded unto Him, conforming to His image.
We both were looking at each other in the mirror before us. We smiled at the same time and then burst out in laugher together. We began to be silly together, we made faces in the mirror, we sat back to back, arms crossed, very silly moments were had. Jesus took photographic portraits of us together. He did. I saw them. He took so many photographic portraits of us as we danced and moved and laughed together. He said to me that He has photo albums of things we have shared together. He showed me several portraits of Him and me, of moments we shared. I was so surprised He had them! He told me many of our portraits are hanging all over in the mansion prepared for me!
We then stood up, facing each other, holding each other’s hands in front of us, in holy silence, looking into each other’s eyes. I stood there facing Jesus, the One I adore, knowing inside at that precise moment, we were standing before each other,
Priest-to-Priest.
1 Peter 2:8 KJV, “But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should show forth His praises of Him who hath called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.”
