the Simplicity of Christ

In the New Covenant, prayer, preaching, and prophecy are all powerful tools that are available to us as priests under the order of Melchizedek.

Prayer is an essential aspect of our relationship with God, and it is through prayer that we express our faith and connect with God on a deeper level. In the New Covenant, we are encouraged to pray in tongues, which is a spiritual language that allows us to communicate directly with God in a way that is beyond our understanding. This type of prayer can bring illumination and enlightenment to our souls, helping us to understand the mysteries of God in a deeper way.

Preaching, or the hearing of the apostles’ doctrine, is also an important aspect of the New Covenant. The apostles were given special revelation and understanding of the gospel of Jesus Christ, and it is through their teaching that we can gain deeper insight into the truth of the gospel. By hearing the doctrine of the apostles, we can receive illumination and enlightenment in our understanding of God’s word.

Prophecy is another powerful tool that we have available to us in the New Covenant. It is not about foretelling the future or predicting events in our lives, but rather about the reciprocation of the knowledge of Truth. Prophecy is a way for us to receive revelation and understanding from God, and it can bring illumination and enlightenment to our souls.

Together, these tools of prayer, preaching, and prophecy help us to connect with God in a deeper way and to receive the illumination and enlightenment that is needed to understand the mysteries of the gospel of Jesus Christ. They play a vital role in our journey of spiritual growth and understanding as we strive to become more like Christ in our thoughts, words, and actions.
