Message from Curt Landry
As we step into the Jewish year of 5785, a profound shift is
unfolding—a king-priest anointing that will empower God's people to take
dominion in the cultures and nations around the world. The Bible paints a
picture of this transformative calling in 2 Kings 13:19, where Elisha instructs
a king to strike the ground with arrows, representing a powerful call to
action. This is the season for God’s people, equipped as king-priests, to arise
and fulfil their divine assignments across the seven mountains of influence.
This year is marked by the number 5785, which prophetically
signals a season of grace and divine empowerment. The number "80"
signifies "pey," representing the mouth, and "5" speaks of
grace. As we step into this new year, God is releasing a double portion of
grace—five times over the next twelve months. It is a time for speaking the
promises of God with boldness and stepping into new realms of authority as both
kings and priests.
The King-Priest Identity
The concept of a king-priest traces back to the biblical
figure of Melchizedek, who was both a king and a priest, a model of spiritual
and earthly leadership. This dual identity is crucial in this season. Many
ministers have focused solely on their priestly duties, often becoming reliant
on others to fulfil the kingly aspect of their calling. However, God is now
anointing individuals to operate in both realms—spiritually and in practical
leadership—across sectors such as business, governance, and ministry.
To truly step into this anointing, it is vital to put on the
full armour of God and shed old mindsets, including pride, religiosity, and the
opinions of others. Like David, who overcame the criticisms of his brothers and
Saul when he faced Goliath, those stepping into this king-priest role must be
free from seeking validation from men. Success and promotion often invite
opposition, but those equipped with this anointing will rise above and continue
to move forward with God’s favour.
Aligning with God’s Purpose
5785 is not just about personal transformation but also
about influencing the nations. When Jew and Gentile unite in the Messiah, the
glory of God is released in greater measure. This is a call for God’s people to
walk in unity, reflecting His glory in their spheres of influence. Yom Kippur,
the Day of Atonement, serves as a significant time to cleanse oneself, both
spiritually and emotionally, and step into this new season of grace and
purpose.
The trials of the past year, described as a "Goliath
year," have stretched and tested many, but they have also revealed the
Davids—those who are anointed for leadership and victory in challenging times.
As David grieved the loss of Saul and Jonathan but chose to honour Saul’s
descendants, so too must we move past personal grievances, forgive, and press
forward into God’s higher calling.
The Marketplace Anointing
This king-priest anointing extends into the marketplace,
where God is calling His people to influence and lead with supernatural wisdom.
With this anointing comes the ability to receive divine strategies—what is
described as "fourth-dimensional information"—that will transform
industries, businesses, and even cure diseases. This is not merely about
survival in a challenging world but about thriving and excelling through divine
favour and strategic insight.
To receive this grace and favour, one must be willing to sow
it. The Hebrew word for grace, "hesed," speaks of a seed sown and a
seed received. As you bless others, especially in the marketplace, you will
find that the grace of God flows abundantly back into your life.
A Season of Perfection and New Beginnings
The number "7" represents perfection and
completion, while "8" signifies new beginnings. This year, God is
completing what He started in His people, equipping them with the grace to
finish well. Those who embrace this call will find themselves stepping into new
roles of leadership and influence, marked by excellence and divine favour. It
is a time for renewing the mind, transforming one’s identity, and allowing God
to lead in every area of life.
A Call to Action
As we move into 5785, the Lord is asking: Are you ready to
step into this king-priest anointing? Are you prepared to be activated and
appointed for a higher calling? The next 10 years will be a season of
transformation, and those who say "yes" to this calling will be
vessels of change in their communities, nations, and industries.
God’s grace is abundant, and His calling is clear. This is
the year to rise as king-priests, to reset culture for His Kingdom, and to
carry forth the banner of His love and power. In Yeshua’s name, declare your
readiness and receive the commissioning for this new season. The world is in
need of what God has placed within you—embrace it, and let His grace guide you
to the heights He has prepared.
In the biblical context, believers are referred to as both
kings and priests according to the order of Melchizedek, a dual role of
authority and service. This anointing is most evident when working within
spheres of influence, such as business, governance, or communities, where
tangible outcomes like wealth transfer, healing, and transformation are the
evidence of divine deliverables. The presence of God is carried into every
situation, bringing light into the “mountain” or sphere in which one is sent.
A powerful example of this partnership between divine
authority and governance is found in Zechariah 4, where Zerubbabel, the
governor, and Zechariah, the prophet, demonstrate the harmonious working of a
king-priest anointing. This unity between roles is not about personal ambition
but about fulfilling God-given assignments with divine authority and grace. In
today’s world, this same anointing calls leaders to stay in their God-assigned
lanes and serve with humility, focusing on advancing God's Kingdom rather than
personal gain.
As we enter the biblical year of 5785, there is a sense that
the anointing of leaders will intensify. Many have already experienced
unexpected opportunities, a divine setup not by their own strength but through
God’s hand. This year is about stepping into new roles with grace and faith,
recognizing that the Lord has called us to be seated in places of influence for
His purpose. There’s a call to remove limitations, to take the lid off our
lives, and embrace the fullness of our calling.
The vision of entering the fourth dimension—a space of
spiritual insight and divine encounters—is critical for operating in this
king-priest anointing. It's here, in daily communion with God, that believers
receive guidance, hidden wisdom, and instruction for their assignments. This
realm requires a deeper understanding of God's language, spoken in parables and
metaphors, requiring us to tune into His Spirit to navigate this season
effectively.
For those walking in this anointing, the year 5785 also
brings a necessary transition out of the challenges of the past year, 5784.
Known as a “Goliath year,” it has stretched and tested many, but it has also
revealed the Davids—those who will rise in the face of adversity with the
strength and wisdom of God. It is now time to dust off the disappointments of
the past, forgive, and step into a new identity with renewed strength. This
prophetic act of “dusting off” symbolizes leaving behind what has weighed us
down and embracing the new opportunities and victories ahead.
As we enter this season of Reformation, a reshaping and
repositioning are taking place. It is a time of great change, where the
king-priest anointing equips believers to lead in both spiritual and practical
arenas—be it in ministry, business, or governance. This transformation is
rooted in a deeper intimacy with God, who guides His people through challenging
times to emerge victorious.
In summary, the king-priest anointing is about unity,
service, and staying aligned with God’s purpose. It is a call to walk in both
spiritual authority and practical leadership, bringing deliverables that
reflect God’s kingdom on earth. As we move forward into 5785, let us declare,
"I receive my God-given roles by faith and grace, and I am ready to
fulfill my calling in Yeshua's name."
