Scroll 29: Kings and Priests Unto God - Your True Governance Revealed

Revelation 5:9–10
"You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to our God, and they shall reign on the earth."

From Slaves to Sons, From Servants to Sovereigns

The throne does not call forth mere believers, but rulers. Not performers of religion, but carriers of flame. The Lamb who was slain does not redeem us into spectatorship, but into royal priesthood. This is the scandal of the scroll, that those who were once bound in chains are now crowned in light. That those who were outcasts of the temple are now the temple themselves. That those who bore shame are now clothed in sovereign garments of fire.

To be made a king and a priest is not a future reward, but a present rebirth. It is not for the age to come alone, but for the remnant rising now. The scroll has already been opened, and heaven is releasing divine governance through surrendered ones who have passed through death into life. These are not men who hold power through empire or gold, but sons who govern by stillness, union, and unwavering devotion to the Lamb.

Your kingship is not of this world. Your priesthood is not religious. You do not need a pulpit to reign, nor a microphone to mediate. You are flame. You are bridge. You are blueprint. Heaven sees you not as weak and waiting, but as royal and ready. Not when the world affirms you, but when you behold the Lamb and burn with His fire. Kings and priests are not crowned by men. They are marked by heaven.

The Governance of Priests Is Not Political, But Mystical

Earthly rulers dominate. Heavenly priests ascend. The governance of the elect does not mimic Babylon’s models, it mirrors the mercy and fire of the Lamb. Kings in the Kingdom do not crush. They carry. They do not lord over, they lay low and lift. Their strength is not in assertion, but in alignment. Their power is not in policy, but in purity.

To be a king is to walk in divine authority over atmospheres, nations, and generations, not through charisma, but through consecration. To be a priest is to minister not just to people, but to God, to burn incense of intimacy on the inner altar, to offer up intercession not as a ritual, but as a fragrance of flame. The Kingdom Age is not ruled from pulpits but from prayer closets. Not from ballots, but from bridal chambers.

This new governance cannot be hijacked by political agendas or social influence. It flows from another dimension. The ones who will reign in this hour are not those with the most followers, but those with the deepest flames. They know the language of the throne room. They have eaten the scroll. They bleed mercy, but roar with fire. The system cannot understand them. But heaven recognizes them as heirs.

Reigning on Earth Now - Not Later

The Lamb has already made you a king and priest. It is not a future condition. It is a present commission. The scroll has already been unsealed, and the elect are already being positioned. While others wait for crowns to fall from the sky, the Lamb is crowning sons in the secret place. Not with gold, but with flame. Not with thrones of applause, but with the authority of the altar.

To reign does not mean to dominate people. It means to govern systems, dimensions, timelines, and destinies with the nature of the Lamb. To walk into rooms and atmospheres and shift them not by effort, but by essence. To live so anchored in heaven that the earth cannot shake you. To embody the scroll in such a way that others are delivered by your very presence. This is dominion in union.

The remnant is not waiting for a king to rise. The remnant is the kings rising. They are not building new churches, but becoming the altar. Not performing, but bearing witness. Not playing priest, but interceding as the living incense. They are rulers in the Lamb. Priests in fire. Scrolls in skin. And the government of heaven rests not just upon Christ, but within His body now revealed in light.

Final Charge to the Elect

You are not waiting to be crowned. You were crowned when you were crucified with Him. Walk now as king and priest. Govern not by power, but by flame. And let the world see the throne through your surrendered life.
