Dancing in the Rain

The Golden Lampstand: "Let your light shine before shine."

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.

 

Grace and Forgiveness - An Introduction

Beginning of a new adventure @ Anson Correctional -  "Grace and Forgiveness" by 

We pray that the Lord will bless this giant  experience.  

Come to the Table: Showbread (Part 2)

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... 

Come to the Table: God's work, done in God's way, will never lack God's Supply.

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."

I hope you enjoy listening to the message, as much as we enjoyed meditating on it.

 

Got Love?

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.
• It is not stirred up emotionally.

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

 

Ark of the Covenant - represents His Presence, Holiness, & Mercy!

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.

Let us go to His dwelling place - Ark of the Covenant

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.

How did a baby girl, changed a life of Henry Walker? Powerful Testimony.

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. 

Are you "Running" to the Mercy Seat?

We all want to go into the presence of the Lord…

Moses spent time with the Lord - for 40 days in Mt. Sinai… where God gave instructions on how to build the Ark of the Covenant, Mercy Seat and the tabernacle.

______________

Exodus 25: 17 - 22

And there I will meet with you, and I will speak with you from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubim which are on the ark of the Testimony, about everything which I will give you in commandment to the children of Israel.

Hope you enjoy this message, as much as we enjoyed meditating on it...

You are the light of the World!

Jesus talked about Beatitudes – those are the characteristics…being poor in spirit,  meekness, mourning, hungering and thirsting after righteousness, mercy….

Whereas when He talk about salt and light – he is talking about the function.   How we need to function or influence in this world.

The beatitudes and similitudes go together…

Matthew 5: 14 - 16 says, 

“You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden.  No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father.
