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

Psalms 84: 1 How lovely is Your tabernacle, O Lord of hosts!

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

Hallelujah

The things we must do to raise up a dwelling place

My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, in the portion of the Bible that we meditated upon in the past day, we meditated that our dwelling place is the Holy Spirit, who is the bride and that we are God’s dwelling place and how the dwelling place has to be holy and full of glory and that there are nine gifts of grace in it and that we must receive the nine gifts of grace and live with God.

That is, in 1 Corinthians 1: 4 – 8 I thank my God always concerning you for the grace of God, which was given to you by Christ Jesus,  

that you were enriched in everything by Him in all utterance and all knowledge, 

even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you, 

so that you come short in no gift, eagerly waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ, 

who will also confirm you to the end, that you may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

My dear people, we should not come short in any gift. This is because the Holy Spirit has all the gifts, we must all be mature in all the gifts and that is the will of God.

1 Corinthians 12: 12 For as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ.

Therefore, when all the members of the body unite just like it becomes one body, if we are the bride the church, we must have all the gifts of grace.

Also, in Exodus 25: 37 – 39 You shall make seven lamps for it, and they shall arrange its lamps so that they give light in front of it. 

And its wick-trimmers and their trays shall be of pure gold. 

It shall be made of a talent of pure gold, with all these utensils.

In this manner, God is showing Moses a pattern on the mountain.

Seven lamps signify seven candles. He is arranging them to give light in front of it. And its wick-trimmers and their trays shall be of pure gold and this thing shows our experience of a bride. Wick trimmers are the glorious word of God, their trays signify the word of God.

That is, in our soul there are seven appearances which should always be burning. That light should not dim, should not burn dim and burn off so we must safeguard it. Proverbs 6: 23 For the commandment is a lamp, and the law a light; Reproofs of instruction are the way of life.

The reason for this is our Lord Jesus Christ died for us, then resurrected and showed us an example and then again as a comforter came in our midst. His seven laws are repentance, baptism, anointing of the spirit, anointing of fire, apostolic ministry, the Lord’s holy supper, gathering of the church of holy people, being watchful and praying. These seven appearances are the laws which were born from our God. By these laws, when we meditate upon the Bible daily, from the word of God light is shining. When the light from the seven lamps fills our soul gloriously, glorious ministry takes place in our soul. Then Christ is glorified. But this light burns dimly within some time, the reason for that is if any sin, infatuation, desires of the world, lusts, pleasures, covetousness which is idolatry appears in any heart it will become the reason for it to burn dimly. To show it as a pattern for this it is said lamps and wick trimmers, when burnt wicks are burning in the lamps it shows sin (shows our mistakes), so the wick trimmers remove the burnt wicks and to keep it the trays are kept and are shown as a pattern. That is, if we remove the burnt part then and there, then only the lamp will burn brightly.

Therefore, we must safeguard ourselves so that the burnt wick (world) does not come in us. If we know that it has come, by the word of God we must remove it.

Regarding this, God is saying in Isaiah 42: 3 A bruised reed He will not break, and smoking flax He will not quench; He will bring forth justice for truth.

My dear people, if our Holy Spirit manifests in us he will remove the burnt wick and he will be bringing forth the justice of God in us. But we must always be at his feet and we must come forward always to walk according to God’s laws, commandments, statues and according to everything. He will judge us so that wick which is burning dimly does not burn out and to fulfil justice within us. That is only reproofs of instruction are the way of life. If his reproof is there in us, we will be able to reach in the way of life.

In this manner, in our soul only if we do truthful things, we will be able to raise up the dwelling place that God is showing us. Let us submit ourselves.

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