THE KINGLY ANOINTING

Exodus 19:6‘And you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’

1 Peter 2:9 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;

Some Other King/Priest Scriptures:
Is. 6:1  And you will be called priests of the Lord; you will be named ministers of our God. You will feed on the wealth of nations, and in their riches you will boast. 1Peter 2:5 And you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house, to be a Holy Priesthood. Rev. 1:6 And has  made us kings and priests unto God and His Father. Rev. 5:10And has made us unto our God kings and priests and we shall reign on the earth.

Romans 5:17 For if by the one man’s offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.

 This Scripture says we will reign in life through Jesus, the Greek word for "REIGN" is derived from the word for "KING". And means to be a king. And you notice that the reigning is now as well as forever. (in life, eternal life)

The Word says that two of the anointings that believers have received are those of Kings, and Priests. Hebrews 6:30 says Jesus "has become a high priest forever in the order of Melchizedek" . The next verse says that Melchizedek was the KING of Salem (Jerusalem) and PRIEST of God Almighty. By the way Melchizedek means "king of righteousness", and king of Salem means "king of peace". The word says that this priesthood is an eternal one, "A priest forever, just like Melchizedek" (PS 110:4; HEB 6:30; HEB 7:1-3; HEB 7:15-17; HEB 7:21-25).We are Priests after the order of Melchizedek, just like Jesus, our High Priest. And we are Kings in the line of David, just like Jesus, the Son of David.

I am convinced that if we are to do the things that Jesus did, and the greater things, and to live as Jesus lived, we will have to participate in the ministry and anointing God has placed upon each of us to be Kings and Priests. We know that He is King of kings (we are the little kings) and Lord of lords (we are the little lords).

So lets find out just what the characteristics of a King are according to the Word.

First of all a Godly King is one who's heart is so soft to God's touch that He can direct it just as He pleases (Prov. 21:1). When you walk in the fullness of the Anointing of a King after the order of David, and after the order of Jesus, the Son of David, you are a person, who's way is fully in the Hand of the Potter.

What made David different, and what made Jesus different? They were quick to believe the Word of God ( Jesus was the Word); they honored God and had a heart dedicated to pleasing Him. They had a servant's heart, one that was predisposed to obedience.

When you are a King you are without reproach from those who are not. Bear in mind that we are to treat others as we would have them treat us, we are not to lord it over the lost, they have the same potential, all they need to do is accept the King of Kings, then they too will become anointed to be Kings and Priests.

Another aspect of the Kingly characteristics is justice, a King of God will always judge justly, never having two sets of measures.

Another characteristic of Kings is that they establish  the Kingdom for God. They do this by subduing those who set themselves at enmity toward the Kingdom. They will cause peace to reign over that kingdom so that the people of God will prosper. When we reach the fullness of our Kingships we will manifest the Kingdom of God, and Peace will be established for His people.

Another characteristic of a Davidic King is that God will cause you to prosper; in Solomon's time God made his kingdom so prosperous that silver was considered of little value (1KG 10:21). If we are going to spread the word, the Gospel of the Kingdom of God, around the whole planet, we will need a LOT of wealth. Now the wealth shouldn't have us, we should have it. And it should primarily be the intent of our heart to use it for the Gospel, no matter what He blesses us with, we should be willing to give it at His direction with the responsiveness of a King whose heart is like a watercourse. God should be able to direct us to give according to His pleasure, and we should instantly give
anything and everything that He desires. Everything belongs to Him anyway.

Another characteristic of a Davidic King is that he will pay no heed to the traditions of men, and will even rightly divide the Word's commands.

Another Kingly Characteristic is DILIGENCE, Proverbs 12:24 says, "Diligent hands will rule". 2 Peter 1:5 calls for us to "giving all diligence" or with all diligence to "add to our faith" several steps, which all add to each other to bring us to a place where we will walk in Agape-Love, and promises us, in verse 8 that we will never be unfruitful in our knowledge of Christ. And verse 10 says, "Give all diligence to make your calling and election sure, for if you do these things ye shall never fall".
David was a shepherd as a boy, and he was a shepherd as a King, God himself said he would be one in 2 Samuel 5:2. Jesus was and is The Good Shepherd. A Davidic King will be one who has a Shepherd's Heart. One who is quick to rescue one of the flock.  This is the priest’s/ shepherd’s heart.
 
Kings are comfortable speaking the  Word of Authority. Part of our Anointing as Kings is to speak the Word Boldly. We have been granted the Authority to bind and loose things here on the Earth, and it is established in Heaven. We have been given the right to speak God's Word, and the responsibility to do so, so that it may be in effect over the enemy (EPH 6) as part of the Armor of God. We are also granted the right to speak to nature and it will obey, if we have the ever-increasing type of faith that is like a mustard seed. The continuing existence of the entire creation of God is upheld by the Word (HEB 1:3). Because of this, when God's Word is released in faith from our mouths the creation is already trained and predisposed to respond to it.
