Power-packed with scriptural insight, The Melchizedek Answer, brings a profound revealing of the First Century New Testament church. The author helps readers understand why churches today lack the power of God that was prevalent in the New Testament church. He also decidedly states to readers that since man “disagrees” on so many things, he decided to ask the one that knows, God. With that, author, John Mark, invites readers to, “Walk with me as I take the road less traveled. Venture into the First Century church for the answers to why things don’t work the way they are supposed to.”
With such chapters as: The Seekers Way (aka: God’s design for the church), The Missing Body Revealed! Life without the Body (aka: Winging it), The Latter Rain, The New and Living Priesthood, The Set Apart Life, The Final Journey, The Faith that was once delivered to the Saints, The Set Apart Spirit, The Spirit Comes Bearing Gifts, The Son of God, He that was from the Beginning, The Messenger of God, In the Beginning was the Word, Revelation of Messiah Yahshua, The End of All Things, The People Outside the City & Life and Death Now and Forever.
Many issues in our modern-day churches are addressed. Some controversial – he calls it the “Pastor Model” and boldly states it is a money-making business! Mainly, he gives an understanding of what the true Body of Christ is supposed to look like and function. He encourages readers to understand also that they have a calling. Gifts are given by the Holy Spirit, and they are to be used accordingly. Being set apart, living a holy life are filled with rich dividends in serving the living God.
I found this book to be an incredibly easy-to-understand teaching that kept a scriptural foundation. I love how the author keeps the readers focused on the true Messiah, the true gospel. the functioning of the Spirit within the Saints of God – He sticks to the Bible, not man’s teaching or opinion, but what Scripture speaks. He also debunks some myths, controversies, and misconceptions taught over the years. Author, John Mark is a seeker of truth and his book, The Melchizedek Answer!, digs deep into the truth of scripture.
This is an informative teaching of hidden secrets and mysteries of God, namely through the ancient priest, Melchizedek. Revealing this new and living priesthood is an exciting way, intertwining the Old Testament and the New Testament, to give a deeper understanding of this new priesthood. Full of life-giving Scripture, the author also teaches and unfolds the mysteries of God. This is also book advocating the Spirit to be poured out in the Latter Rain church. However, for that to take place the traditions of men need to be dropped, and the way of God put into place.
Quite an amazing and profound read! This book comes highly recommended for those seekers of God that want more than the mundane Sunday service; this book if for those that truly follow Jesus and live as a holy, living sacrifice to God.
**Additional appendices and meanings of the Hebrew names of God give a rich understanding of Yahshua/G-d/Messiah offer a rich understanding to readers.
This book will give readers a new and renewed reverence with a perspective of who Messiah is in one’s life, and immense insight on how the Body of Christ should function!
