One of the cool things about the New Covenant is its Melchizedek order compliance .
The two seals in 2 Timothy 2 are
We are leaving iniquity
The Lord is knowing us .
These are not new things. The first Israelites having left Egypt gathered live around a pillar of fire and pillar of Cloud , the Presence of the Living God .
What Jesus has done is take out our fallen spirit man in His Body on the Cross . He puts a new and right spirit , our brand new main identity within us , and this is called being born again .
Like ducklings when they first hatch , we pretty much want to follow the first humans we meet who are also born again and baptised in the Spirit .
It's kind of ok to begin with , and these folk function as pastors for us . But the goal is psalm 123. The goal as Jesus says is to have a single eye for Jesus the King alone . See what He's doing next and obey Him .
So we are to look for a people leaving iniquity and instead being saved ....not just in their new spirit man , but in their whole soul . Jesus moving into the whole of their being .
Iniquity is much deeper than just doing wrong things . It's literally a 6000 year culture of living as though we are independent beings.
We took that into churches .
And now God is building churches afresh like Acts first church , stripping out all forced false behaviours like one person pretending to be in charge of Jesus own church .
Its going to take a while to transition because all human organisations are run by one person , and secondly its going to take a while to accustom ourselves to a single eye and seeing God only like in Psalm 123.
But this is how the 12 apostles moved and it's described for us in 1 John 1.
How do we train ?
We learn to go into our own inner room , our spirit ,
shut our own door to all the previous Genesis 3 lie embedded in our soul : mind will and emotions, and go into our secret place to meet with our heavenly Father .
Then in this new connection, gathering together in the name of Jesus as born again baptised in the Spirit people ,we exalt Jesus Name and follow the Holy Spirit through 3 types of Diverses in 1 Corinthians 12.
This is all training in the Melchizedek Order and the place of revival where we lift Jesus up from the earth and He draws all men unto Him .
He is our Saviour and He goes on being our Saviour , pulling us out of our former manner of life . The Bible is packed with revelation by the Holy Spirit about God's ways and we have fellowship together in this new way of faith .
His Presence among us is powerful. This is the work of the Holy Spirit .
