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 expressionTeaching and ministry flow through thebody, not a single voiceEach believer carries a different aspect of what the Spirit is speakingDevastation humbles the heart and removes pride and self-ambitionGod is raising acompany, not elevating personalitiesWorship is offering ourselves fully to God as living sacrificesPriesthood is aspiritual state, not an individual roleThe motivation of walking with God changes from “what I get” to “what God gets”God is forming a people for His own possessionSons of God walk in the earth as Christ walkedTrue priesthood is formed through submission, not recognitionGod is the potter; we are the clay Key Quotes “The teaching priest is coming through the family, through the body—not one person.”“There is a greater purity in the company God is raising up rather than individuals.”“Devastation is a prelude to the priesthood.”“The motivation of walking with God changes when it’s no longer about us.”“God is creating a people for His own possession.”“Priesthood is not so much an individual thing as it is a spiritual state.”“We’re not living unto ourselves—we’re dying to ourselves to minister to the Lord.”“He’s the potter.

Through devastation, humility, and surrender, He is shaping a royal priesthood that lives not for itself, but to give God what He desires. When ambition dies and submission is embraced, a family emerges—standing before God day and night, ministering to Him as sons and priests.
