All Prayers can be summarized as:

1. Prayers with sandals ON

There are twice in the bible – where it is talking about removing sandals…

Moses (in Exodus 3) and Joshua (in Joshua 5:13 – 15)

• When we take the sandals off, then we are not moving.
  

This is where prayer of supplication comes… prayer of adoration and Thanksgiving happens,  prayer of worship… prayer of confession happens…

Today,  we are going to look at the third and last piece of furniture in the holy place was the altar of incense with its four horns.

What does the incense represent?

• It represents, prayer of the Saints…

The tabernacle that God gave instructions to Moses is only a replica, the original is in heaven and let’s look at what God showed John in the book of Revelation, about what happens now as we meditate…

Revelation 5:8

Now when He had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.

Hope you enjoy this message... 

There was no light at all in the holy place except that which came from the golden lampstand. The varied colors and beauty of the inner sanctuary could only be seen in this one light.

What is in the temple, is what we see in Exodus 25, and 37… and later in Zechariah when he had a vision about the oil poured from the basin.

It is the brilliant, majestic, golden lampstand that illuminated the Holy Place of the Tabernacle.

We pray that the Lord will bless this giant  experience.  

The purpose of the golden table was to hold 12 cakes of bread made of fine flour. They were placed there in two rows of six, each loaf representing one of the tribes of Israel (Lev. 24:8).

It represents His Provision, His Presence and His Providence!

We are all invited to the banquet of the marriage supper!

Hope you enjoy listening, as much as we enjoyed recording... 

When we read Exodus 25: 23 - 29

What we find is,  that the Lord is speaking about 2 things:  1. Showbread (Bread), 2.  The Dinner table.

We enjoyed meditating on this word  - breaking down, how it applies to us, today.

______________

Bread is one of the most powerful symbols.

#1:  The Bread represents – “Word of God” 

It is found in the Lord’s Prayer: “Give us this day our daily bread.” This Christian prayer is a request for both actual and spiritual food.

#2: Bread represents - Intimacy and Communion with the Heavenly father

Revelation 3:20 says, "Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come into him and dine with him, and he with Me."

_______

29 Jesus answered him, “The first of all the commandments is: ‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. 

30 And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ This is the first commandment. 

31 And the second, like it, is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”

The word, “LOVE” that Jesus used -

Love of intelligence, Love of sacrifice, Love of will, Love of the purpose, love of choice, love of sacrifice, love of obedience… not the love of attraction.

• Love connected to fearing God… He is worthy of our affection.

He is talking about giving the most complete love and allegiance only to the Father in Heaven.

The Ark of the Covenant also known as the Ark of the Testimony, and in a few verses across various translations of the Bible as the Ark of God, is a gold-covered wooden chest with lid cover described in the Book of Exodus.

• The Ark of the Covenant symbolizes the Holy of Holies of the ancient Temple of Jerusalem, it is the holiest place in the synagogue and the focal point of prayer!

If we want to have God’s blessing on our house or in our church, we must invite in the holy presence of God! And quit spending time building oxcarts and polishing the hubcaps.

Exodus 25: 8 and 9 says, "And let them make Me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them. According to all that I show you, that is, the pattern of the tabernacle and the pattern of all its furnishings, just so you shall make it."

Ark of the Covenant is in the most important piece of the furniture – it is in the holy of Holies.

In Old Testament, there are well over 185 references, and so it is not a small matter.   We need to pay attention to it.

In this episode, we are talking about how [a baby girl]  changed the trajectory of her father - Henry Walker (from the gang life) to Min. Walker.

Throughout the whole interview,  Min. Walker poured his emotions as he shared his life's journey.   

Hope this is a blessing to you and your spiritual walk.
