THE VISION OF ZADOK MINISTRY SCHOOL
BY SCOTT MACLEOD

There have been three words the Lord has spoken to me regarding ZADOK Ministry School.

1. It's for those who are HUNGRY! Jesus said, Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. (Matthew 5:6). The name ZADOK means "righteous." God is raising up a people who are willing to forsake all worldly lures and distractions to passionately seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, a people who will be prepared and purified to enter into the holy places of God.

2. It is time for MEAT! It is time to feast upon the solid food that comes through the revelation and application of God's Word, move away from the self-consumed immaturity that is common to all infants, and time to grow up into the fullness of Christ.

3. It is time to go DEEP! He reveals deep and hidden things... (Daniel 2:22). There is a deep place that God's people is calling out to know the infinite and mysterious depths of the Living God. And now is the time to lay into our lives a deep foundation of God's Word, His ways, and His presence that is essential to prepare us for the days ahead.

It is time for ZADOK Ministry School! As we quickly head into the hustle and bustle, and the uncertainties of the 21st century, God will literally raise up a pure and holy people — a royal priesthood. All who are in Christ Jesus are called to be priests of our God who will faithfully minister to Him and to His people. But what does it really look like to live like a "priest" in a society where we are daily bombarded with a multitude of media messages, cell phones, and fast pace lifestyles?

ZADOK of the Bible was a brave young warrior, a "seer" (a prophet) and a high priest. He set the uncompromising standard as he remained faithful to King David when most of Israel had gone astray. The Lord is looking for a prophetic priesthood today who will courageously remain faithful to Him, the true King, at any cost. A people devoted to purity and prayer, and who walk by the prophetic revelation of the Holy Spirit — a people who walk in righteousness before the Lord, and who uphold His standard to truth and justice in our time.

The Lord tells us, My eyes will be on the faithful in the land, that they may dwell with me; he whose walk is blameless will minister to me. He will serve me. (Psalm 101:6). This scripture still applies to us today! God will have a Holy Priesthood who daily dwell in His presence, and who will minister to Him in this day!

Today, too many lines and values are blurred, and too often it is hard to distinguish the difference between a child of God and child of the world. There must be a clear distinction seen between the people of God and the people of the world. That distinction is to be the glory of His holiness and true righteousness illuminating through His people.

The Sons of ZADOK were commissioned to ...teach My people the difference between the holy and the common, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean. (Ezekiel 44:23)
