Yet it’s a revelation that should constantly be front and center in our hearts and minds. Instead of thinking so much about the size of the mountains in our lives, we should be thinking about the Almighty One who promised that what we say to them will be done. We ought to be doing what Hebrews 3:1 says: “Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus.” Look again at the primary words in that verse. The word apostle is a Greek word that refers to one who’s been sent to do something. In Scripture it’s capitalized because it speaks of someone who’s been sent of God. Jesus has been sent and anointed by God to be our High Priest. The word priest means “administrator.” It speaks of someone who officiates and performs certain duties; someone who causes certain things to come to pass in the area to which he’s been called. One area Jesus our High Priest has been called to administrate is our profession, or confession of faith. He backs what we say in His Name with the fullness of His power because we’re His holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling. He’s our big Brother and we are His joint heirs in God’s kingdom. That kingdom along with everything in heaven and earth has been turned over to Him by the Father, and Jesus, as The LORD Advocate General of that kingdom, has turned it over to us! This is what He was talking about in John 14:12 when He said, “He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.” He was saying, “You can operate just like I do, brothers and sisters! You can believe God’s WORD, speak to the mountain, and I’ll be right there with you in all My resurrected power and glory making sure that mountain moves!” Recently, as I was thinking about this, The LORD reminded me of an incident I’ve told about many times. It happened years ago, when I was a student at Oral Roberts University, working for Brother Roberts as a part of his flight crew. I’d flown with him to one of his big healing meetings, and when we arrived, the head of his ministry team gave me an unexpected assignment. “We have a new job for you,” he said. “We want you to listen to Brother Roberts’ message, then go to the invalid room where the people who are too sick to go into the main auditorium are waiting to be prayed for. You’ll have about five minutes to recap for them the primary points of the message. Then Brother Roberts will come in and lay hands on them.” It was my first time to ever do anything like that! I didn’t feel at all qualified, but I did my best to get the job done. I summarized for the people what Brother Roberts had preached and just as I finished, he walked into the room. I stepped back out of his way; he looked around a little bit and then pulled me over next to him. “You’re going to do the praying and the laying on of hands,” he said. As all the color drained out of my face I thought, You’ve got to be kidding me. Brother Roberts saw me change colors and laughed. “Don’t worry,” he said. “I’ll be right here. If you make a mistake, I’ll fix it.” The first woman we ministered to was dying of stomach cancer. She had a malignant tumor so big it had pushed her belly out until it looked like she was pregnant. Otherwise, she was just skin and bone. She was so weak her nurse had to prop her up just so that we could lay hands on her. Brother Roberts had already preached about the point of contact and he’d specifically said to me, “Don’t touch the people until you’re ready to release your faith.” I’d also been studying on the power and authority of the Name of Jesus, so it came up in my spirit that the Name of Jesus should be my point of contact. I thought, I’m going to release my faith and touch them the moment I speak that Name. * * * * * article concludes on p. 8 * * * * * 6 : BVOV
