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

Titus 3: 5, 6 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, 

whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior.

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

Hallelujah

The way to safeguard the garment of salvation – as a pattern

My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, in the portion of the Bible that we meditated upon in the past day, we meditated certain things regarding how the appearances of the garment should be. We meditated along with a pattern that garment means putting on Christ and regarding this in the portion of the Old Testament they are making holy garments for Aaron and his sons. In that garment, the woven band which should be on the ephod, to unite the ephod as one shall have two shoulder straps joined at its two edges, and so it shall be joined together.

It is written that in the two shoulder straps take two onyx stones and engrave on them the names of the sons of Israel, in our spiritual life that names of the sons of Israel should be engraved.

That is why, in Exodus 28: 12 And you shall put the two stones on the shoulders of the ephod as memorial stones for the sons of Israel. So, Aaron shall bear their names before the Lord on his two shoulders as a memorial.

In this day, many people leave the words that they read in the portion of the Old Testament carelessly. My dear people, by our faith we should not make the law contempt, but we should establish the law. If there is no law, there is no sin. The law only teaches us what is sin.

Romans 5: 13 For until the law sin was in the world, but sin is not imputed when there is no law.

Romans 7: 7, 8 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? Certainly not! On the contrary, I would not have known sin except through the law. For I would not have known covetousness unless the law had said, “You shall not covet.” 

But sin, taking opportunity by the commandment, produced in me all manner of evil desire. For apart from the law sin was dead.

Therefore, my dear people, in us, the law not by old writings but according to the new spirit so that it can minister we must make sure that the law is not contempt but is established.

Exodus 28: 15 “You shall make the breastplate of judgment. Artistically woven according to the workmanship of the ephod you shall make it: of gold, blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and fine woven linen, you shall make it.

What this signifies is that the names of the sons of Israel, which are the twelve names which are engraved on twelve stones should be our foundation stones and God is showing us this as a pattern.

The breastplate of judgement is a garment of the priest. The breastplate of judgement should be worn by the priests that is, our Lord Jesus Christ is analysing us to see whether all the spiritual blessings in us are according to the truth and is judging us and God is showing us this as a pattern through his priests.

In us, the tree of life, which is Christ gives twelve different kinds of fruits and is manifested as our cornerstone of the City of Zion.

Two types of onyx stones, the names of the sons of Israel are engraved on the intricately woven band of the ephod and it shall have two shoulder straps joined at its two edges, and so it shall be joined together signifies and shows as a sign that our Lord Jesus Christ carries the government on his shoulders.

Also, when God shows the Holy Spirit, the bride its glory as written and shown beautifully in Revelation chapter 21 shone like the shine of the precious twelve stones.

In this manner, the decoration of the Holy Spirit, the bride as the garment of salvation should be filled with a lot of glory of God. This is shown as a pattern by Father God upon us.

Also, when we read that portion the truth should not move away from us and we must be firm with the word of God, which are his commandments. 

Exodus 28: 30 And you shall put in the breastplate of judgment the Urim and the Thummim, and they shall be over Aaron’s heart when he goes in before the Lord. So, Aaron shall bear the judgment of the children of Israel over his heart before the Lord continually.

In the breastplate of judgement, engraving Urim and Thummim over the heart is a pattern, that is as prophecy, revelation and gifts Christ must dwell in our heart and he is showing that as a pattern for clarity, in order to tell the faults of the people. That is, the Holy Spirit, the bride. He is filing us with his grace and gifts of grace.

Regarding this only, Exodus 28: 31 – 35 “You shall make the robe of the ephod all of blue. 

There shall be an opening for his head in the middle of it; it shall have a woven binding all around its opening, like the opening in a coat of mail, so that it does not tear. 

And upon its hem you shall make pomegranates of blue, purple, and scarlet, all around its hem, and bells of gold between them all around: 

a golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, upon the hem of the robe all around. 

And it shall be upon Aaron when he ministers, and its sound will be heard when he goes into the holy place before the Lord and when he comes out, that he may not die.

My dear people, the explanation of the above-mentioned words of God is that we must walk without any mistake in truth and we must receive all the fruits of the Spirit and the sweet voice of the Holy Spirit, the bride should then ring in our ears.

That is what, it is written that in the hem of the garments a golden bell and a pomegranate should be hanging all around. Pomegranate signifies the bride and golden bell signifies the other tongues of anointing which are filled with glory and speaking in many tongues. If this manner of sound rises up from our soul, then God gives us the grace to safeguard our soul so that it does not perish. May the Lord bless you all abundantly in this manner.

Let us pray. Let us submit ourselves.
