“Glory to the Precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ”

Ephesians 3: 18, 19 may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height— 

to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen

Hallelujah 

We, the Bride, the church should be filled with all God’s fullness by Christ.

My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, in the portion of the Bible that we meditated upon in the past days, we meditated that when the bride, the church gathers together as a church as brothers with one thought of the heart and with one mind and praise God and when they thank him the Holy Spirit  descends upon each one of us and he anoints us and we meditated along with a pattern that in this manner only we, in the midst of brothers should praise God and should be anointed.

But today the word of God that we are going to meditate upon is Numbers 7: 84 – 89 This was the dedication offering for the altar from the leaders of Israel, when it was anointed: twelve silver platters, twelve silver bowls, and twelve gold pans. 

Each silver platter weighed one hundred and thirty shekels and each bowl seventy shekels. All the silver of the vessels weighed two thousand four hundred shekels, according to the shekel of the sanctuary. 

The twelve gold pans full of incense weighed ten shekels apiece, according to the shekel of the sanctuary; all the gold of the pans weighed one hundred and twenty shekels. 

All the oxen for the burnt offering were twelve young bulls, the rams twelve, the male lambs in their first year twelve, with their grain offering, and the kids of the goats as a sin offering twelve. 

And all the oxen for the sacrifice of peace offerings were twenty-four bulls, the rams sixty, the male goats sixty, and the lambs in their first year sixty. This was the dedication offering for the altar after it was anointed.

Now when Moses went into the tabernacle of meeting to speak with Him, he heard the voice of One speaking to him from above the mercy seat that was on the ark of the Testimony, from between the two cherubim; thus, He spoke to him.

What the meaning of this is that our Lord Jesus is anointed with the Holy Spirit and with power by God and it is shown to us regarding this in Acts 10: 38 how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.

Also, Psalms 20: 6 Now I know that the Lord saves His anointed; He will answer him from His holy heaven with the saving strength of His right hand. In this verse, God is hearing the prayer of him whom he has anointed. That is, in our soul God is anointing Christ. After that, not us but our Christ is making supplication for us. He, making supplication for us in John 17: 1 – 26 Jesus spoke these words, lifted up His eyes to heaven, and said: “Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son also may glorify You, 

as You have given Him authority over all flesh, that He should give eternal life to as many as You have given Him. 

And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent. 

I have glorified You on the earth. I have finished the work which You have given Me to do. 

And now, O Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was.

“I have manifested Your name to the men whom You have given Me out of the world. They were Yours, You gave them to Me, and they have kept Your word. 

Now they have known that all things which You have given Me are from You. 

For I have given to them the words which You have given Me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came forth from You; and they have believed that You sent Me.

“I pray for them. I do not pray for the world but for those whom You have given Me, for they are Yours. 

And all Mine are Yours, and Yours are Mine, and I am glorified in them. 

Now I am no longer in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father keep through Your name those whom You have given Me, that they may be one as We are. 

While I was with them in the world, I kept them in Your name. Those whom You gave Me I have kept; and none of them is lost except the son of perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled. 

But now I come to You, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have My joy fulfilled in themselves. 

I have given them Your word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 

I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one. 

They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 

Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth. 

As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world. 

And for their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they also may be sanctified by the truth.

“I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word; 

that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. 

And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one: 

I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me.

“Father, I desire that they also whom You gave Me may be with Me where I am, that they may behold My glory which You have given Me; for You loved Me before the foundation of the world. 

O righteous Father! The world has not known You, but I have known You; and these have known that You sent Me. 

And I have declared to them Your name, and will declare it, that the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them.”

In the above-mentioned verses, our Lord Christ is making supplication for us and also in Zechariah 12: 10 And I will pour on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the Spirit of grace and supplication; then they will look on Me whom they pierced. Yes, they will mourn for Him as one mourns for his only son and grieve for Him as one grieves for a firstborn.

In this verse, it is written that I will pour the Spirit of grace and the Spirit of supplication. Also, Psalms 23: 1 – 6 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters.

He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

In these verses, you anoint my head with oil, my cup runs over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow us all the days of my life. And he is saying that I will dwell forever.  In this manner, when God is anointing Christ, he is seen with the fullness of grace and he is showing this as a pattern twelve silver platters, twelve silver bowls, and twelve gold pans. In this manner, when the altar was anointed everything that was done by the leaders of Israel, we see that each thing was offered as twelve. 

Twelve means it shows fullness and that is after they attained completeness only then they can attain fullness. Regarding that the word of God in Hebrews 5: 12 – 14 For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the first principles of the oracles of God; and you have come to need milk and not solid food. 

For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe. 

But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

These verses are verses which are solid food and it is written that it belongs to those who are of full age, who by reason for use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil. But Colossians 2: 9, 10 For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; 

and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power.

When we meditate upon these verses, all of us by Christ we should be complete and to show this only God is using the Israelites and is showing this as a pattern. Also, God is showing this as a pattern to the twenty-four elders. Regarding that, Revelation 16: 19 Now the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. And great Babylon was remembered before God, to give her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of His wrath.

In this manner, the twenty-four elders worshipped God. That is, Song of Solomon 3: 7 – 11 Behold, it is Solomon’s couch, with sixty valiant men around it, of the valiant of Israel.

They all hold swords, being expert in war. Every man has his sword on his thigh because of fear in the night.

Of the wood of Lebanon Solomon, the King made himself a palanquin:

He made its pillars of silver, its support of gold, its seat of purple, its interior paved with love by the daughters of Jerusalem.

Go forth, O daughters of Zion, and see King Solomon with the crown with which his mother crowned him on the day of his wedding, The day of the gladness of his heart.

The above-mentioned verse shows the anointing of the bride. Therefore, my dear people let us submit ourselves to receive this kind of experience the fullness of grace.

Let us pray. May the Lord bless you all abundantly.
