“Glory to the Precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ”
Ezekiel 10: 4 Then the glory of the Lord went up from the cherub and paused over the threshold of the temple; and the house was filled with the cloud, and the court was full of the brightness of the Lord’s glory.
May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen
Hallelujah
In the Glorious bride, the church which is our soul there is no place for profane fire
My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, in the portion of the Bible that we meditated upon in the past days, we meditated regarding how God is changing us into the glorious house of our Lord Jesus Christ. Regarding this, the thing that God has shown as a pattern is that if God’s glory should be manifested in us, God through Moses gave Aaron the status of priesthood and as a pattern he did the atonement of sin, cleansing, sin offering, trespass offering, burnt offering, grain offering and showed us and for all the offerings that we have to offer; as one offering Christ was offered for us. His blood removes all our sins and cleanses us and there is no change in it. Only our Lord Jesus Christ according to the order of Melchizedek is the priest forever. In order to show this as a pattern using God’s servants Moses and Aaron he is showing and explaining to us clearly.
That is, Leviticus 9: 23, 24 And Moses and Aaron went into the tabernacle of meeting and came out and blessed the people. Then the glory of the Lord appeared to all the people,
and fire came out from before the Lord and consumed the burnt offering and the fat on the altar. When all the people saw it, they shouted and fell on their faces.
When they were blessing the people, the glory of the Lord appeared to all the people. That glory is Christ. That is why, in John 17: 10 And all Mine are Yours, and Yours are Mine, and I am glorified in them.
From this what we must know is that in our soul Christ is being glorified. Regarding this our Lord Jesus Christ is telling in John 17: 22 And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one:
In this manner, the glory of Christ is shining in us. Regarding this only fire came out from the presence of the Lord and consumed the burnt offering and the fat on the altar. The river of fire which comes from the presence of the Lord means our soul should be changed as a holy soul and from it, the word of Christ, which is the fire comes and is cleansing our heart, which is the altar. That word, which is the fire consumes the profane fire which is manifesting in our heart.
That is what, in Leviticus 10: 1 – 3 Then Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, each took his censer and put fire in it, put incense on it, and offered profane fire before the Lord, which He had not commanded them.
So, fire went out from the Lord and devoured them, and they died before the Lord.
And Moses said to Aaron, “This is what the Lord spoke, saying: ‘By those who come near Me I must be regarded as holy; And before all the people I must be glorified.’” So, Aaron held his peace.
When we meditate upon the above-mentioned verses there are two types of fire. God’s word is the holy fire, the words of the devil is the profane fire. Without the commandment of God, the sons of Aaron who are Nadab and Abihu brought that profane fire into the presence of the Lord. If they died in the presence of the Lord, it means if we participate in profane worship our soul will die and there is no doubt in that.
Therefore, the prayer that our Lord Jesus Christ is pleading in John 17: 1 – 10 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.
In this manner, if we accept the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, he will be glorified from within us. Let us all submit ourselves to change in this manner.
Let us pray. May the Lord bless you all abundantly.
