The Revelation of Christ Within and Understanding Your New Identity | May 15, 2025 | MSOP

Melchizedek School of Priesthood | May 15, 2025
The Book of Revelation is fundamentally about revealing Christ, not merely predicting tribulation or the antichrist. True understanding requires spiritual discernment and connecting related scriptures across the Bible. Just as times and seasons exist on Earth to provide second chances, spiritual revelation follows a cyclical pattern that allows growth through each season.
Spirits are influencers that speak to humanity, chart pathways, and reproduce their nature through people. Every belief system and lifestyle stems from a spirit's influence. The spirit of truth acknowledges Christ's coming in the flesh, while the spirit of error denies this reality. Christ came not only in His own flesh but continues to come through believers as His body.
To experience transformation, one must reject familiar spirits that perpetuate generational patterns. These spirits maintain family behaviors, belief systems, and even health conditions through DNA. True freedom comes through declaring a new identity: "I am born of God, not of the will of man." Like a Melchizedek priest who is without earthly descent, believers can walk away from generational patterns through intentional lifestyle changes.
Transformation demands consistency. When healing occurs, maintain the change through permanent lifestyle adjustments—different foods, environments, relationships, and thought patterns. Don't return to old ways that created previous conditions. The renewal of the mind happens not merely through information but through applying spiritual instructions that reshape thinking and behavior.
The communion table represents covenant, where Christ invites all to participate in His broken body and blood. This participation requires discerning the Lord's body—recognizing our connection to other believers rather than focusing selfishly on personal needs. In this covenant, believers find eternal life, the ultimate purpose of revelation.
For those seeking deeper understanding, approach scripture with humility. Don't call unfamiliar teachings heresy; instead, recognize God reveals different dimensions to different people. Test everything by the Spirit, interpret scriptures in community with other scriptures, and remember that revelation is entrusted to faithful servants who will teach others.
