O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trust in him. Psalm 34:8 Christ came as High Priest of good things to come, with the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is, not of this building.Not with the blood of goats and calves, but with His own blood He entered the Most Holy Place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption (for us). Hebrews 9:11-12 DEDICATION It has been an blessing and joy to pray and write Tabernacle Prayer by the revelation and God’s inspiration. From all my heart I dedicate Tabernacle Prayer to the Lord God of Israel and His Beloved Son Jesus Christ. Also to the Body of Messiah (Church) to repent of lukewarmness towards God and His Kingdom purposes. Time to preparing the way for the King of Glory. “I have this against you, that you have left your first love. Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works, or else I will come to you quickly and remove your lampstand from its place unless you repent”. Revelation 2:4-5 I also want to dedicate it to my wonderful wife Amporn who have big heart of love for God and people.Truly she is God’s gift for me for which I am thankful.

Introduction 2 Chronicles 7:14, If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn ( repent) from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. The reason for importance study regarding Tabernacle Prayer is the truth described by God through a man of obedience. Lord God of Isreal spoke to Moses “And let them make Me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them"Exodus 25:8. Over 50 chapters in the Bible mention the Tabernacle ( Exodus 25-31, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, Hebrews 5-10). Also in many others Scripture speak in similar language concerning the Tabernacle but if we closely looking through historical church Bible studies this subject is overlooked and considered not important.The Tabernacle Prayer is a type of Christ, teaching us how to come fully into the presence of God.Your life will be transform as you daily practicing the Tabernacle Prayer. The Lord called His people everywhere to pray before anything else. It is such a honor and privilege to believing and receiving what God has already given to us through Christ Jesus.Our Great Hight Priest died, and furthermore is also risen,who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us (Romans 8:34). Jesus always received divine direction from His Father in communication with Him.His prayer life was so powerful that one of Jesus disciple ask Him” Lord teach us how to pray” and Tabernacle Prayer !

He did. Jesus Christ saturated His whole-being in prayer so must be every true disciple of His and Tabernacle Prayer is one the Holy Spirit leading. Everything at the Tabernacle Prayer point towards Jesus Christ as the Great Hight Priest and plan of redemption. As we pray through divine God given pattern we entering to much deeper presents.There is nothing in this world that can satisfied that inner hunger that only God's presents can for-filled. God desired in His heart to fellowship with us daily not just once a wile. My eye wastes away because of affliction. Lord, I have called daily upon You; I have stretched out my hands to You. Psalm 88:9 Yet they seek Me daily, and delight to know My ways, as a nation that did righteousness, and did not forsake the ordinance of their God. They ask of Me the ordinances of justice; they take delight in approaching God. Isaiah 58:2 Hight Priest has to make daily burn offering to the Lord. Also Jesus teach us to pray “give us day by day our daily bread” Luke 11:3, Personally praying Tabernacle Prayer each time I found new revelation and deeper understanding who God the Father , God the Son and God the Holy Spirit is and who I am in Him. David also has understanding on the Tabernacle and it was always in his heart to praise and worship the Lord. In Psalm 27:4 he said, “ one thing I have desired of the Lord, that will I seek:that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days Tabernacle Prayer !

of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to inquire in His temple. It must be daily alter of sacrifice and divine encounter with God Almighty build in our life’s in order to overcome this world and anything that the enemy throws at us. Hold fast what you learning and united your soul with Lord God Almighty who alone is able to keep what we committed to Him. Anything that we withhold from Him it will destroy us. Jesus said “ I give you My life so that you may life! don’t play with your life as it is precious in God’s eyes. Trust God with all your heart and do what He is said. We don’t have a testimony without a test. Jesus overcome all test’s as He was tempted in all ways just like you are yet without any sin.He overcome therefore you can also overcome daily every trail if you abide in His Word and His Word abide in you John 15:7. Jesus Christ paid for us in His blood so that we can overcome anything we facing through His blood. I pray for you that the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, that eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints , and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all principality and power and mighty and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come.And He put all things under Tabernacle Prayer !

His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all”. Ephesians 1:16-22 Please reflect on the following quotes from some of the respecting believers: “This is Pentecost as God gave it through the heart of Jesus. Strive for this.Contend for this. Teach the people to pray for this.For this and this alone will meet the necessity of the human heart, and this alone will have the power to overcome the forces of darkness. Pray, pray, pray.Teach the people to pray. Prayer and prayer alone, much prayer, persistent prayer, is the door of entrance into the heart of God”. John G. Lake Friend of my Robert Oh who is a man of prayer had a burning question to Dr.David Yonggi Cho of the Yoido Full Gospel Church of South Korea, “Dr.Cho, what is your secret of church growth?” He lifted up three fingers and counting one finger down said, “First, Prayer. Second, Prayer. And, third, Prayer.That’s it!”. Such a comforted facts from both man of prayer that the only solution is to pray without ceasing and I am glad that God give us practical pattern to approach Him through a Tabernacle Prayer.

“Prayer is the most important thing in my life. If I should neglect prayer for a single day, I should lost a great deal of the fire of faith”. Martin Luther “ I have so much to do that I must spend hours in prayer before I am able to do it” John Wesley “Prayer governs conduct, and conduct makes character ...Prayer is related to all the gifts of grace...Prayer promotes righteous living, and is the one great aid to uprightness of heart and life”. E.M.Bounds “There are two kinds of means requisite to promote a revival: the one to influence man, the other to influence God. The truth is employed to influence men, and prayer to move God”. Charles Finney “Every man whose life has counted for the church or for the Kingdom of God has been a man of prayer.A prayerless Christians is a powerless Christian”. Billy Graham

THE GATE Here we enter into His gate with thanksgiving and His courts with praise which are located at the Eastern side of Tabernacle.
Palms 100:4 said to: “Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name. Thanksgiving prayers: 1 Chronicles 16:34, Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever. 1 Corinthians. 15:57, Thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Corinthians.2:14, Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place. Colossians 4:2 Continue earnestly in prayer, being vigilant in it with thanksgiving;

Jesus Christ is the Gate and the only Way, the Truth and the Life to the Father God. John 14:6 Jesus said “I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture”. John 10:9 Jesus is the Door and only entry to the Heavenly Father. Moses was instructed by God to make screen for the door to Tabernacle make out of four colors: white, blue , purple and red. “You shall make a screen for the door of the tabernacle, woven of blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and fine woven linen, made by a weaver.

PART I : The Outer Court A. The Brazen Alter - The Cross (Exodus 25-27, Hebrews 9,10)
Brazen Alter is the first place we arriving after entering through Eastern Gate with gratitudes of thanksgiving. At the Tabernacle “Outer Court” I can picturing in my mind all the requested by God sacrifices which need to be killed and burned on the alter. I remember the different offerings presented at the Brazen Altar by Leviticus priesthood like : sin offering, trespass offering, offerings with restitution, grain offering, peace offerings. As Aron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram, and Moses killed it.Then he sprinkled the blood all around on the alter.And he cut the ram into pieces and Moses burned the head, the pieces and the fat. Then he washed the entrails and the Tabernacle Prayer !

legs in water.And Moses burned the whole ram on the alter.It was a burnt sacrifice for a sweet aroma, an offering made by fire to the Lord, as the Lord had commanded Moses. Leviticus 8:18-21. Also sacrifice was required by “prepare one lamb in the morning and other at twilight, Numbers 28:4. In this passage was requested two lamb because Jesus was called Son of Man “Earthy “and Son of God “Heavenly”. These foretold of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ at Calvary and tremendous cost for sins. The blood needs to be shed and covenant made. Jesus Christ take the place of death for all humanity on the alter by become the Lamb of God. John proclaimed, “ Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world”. John 1:29 The Cross of Jesus Christ exchange the Brazen Alter today because once for all the Son of God finished satan and his evil work. Therefore with BOLDNESS IN FINISHED WORK AT THE CROSS I DECLARING VICTORY!

I can’t go to the Holy Place unto I go through an alter of sacrifice. The alter is the place where all my natural things in life that try slowing down my walk with the Lord has to die and be burned off. The High Priest responsibility was to keep the fire burning on the alter at all the time, “A fire shall always be burning on the altar; it shall never go out”. Leviticus 6:13 Most of the people including myself have allowed the fire of the Lord to go out and they grow cold towards God and His Kingdom purposes. Therefore “In Jesus Christ name I repent of my sins by allowed the Holy Fire to go out in my life.” Amen It is prothetic picture of a believer in Christ who is burning on fire for the Lord and His Kingdom. Therefore we are daily responsible as the “living sacrifice” to repent and burn up everything that is nor of God like selfishness, sin, pride, programs, our ministries, our goals, agendas, our time, denominational walls, compromise, prejudices....etc. Let us dedicate and consecrated our alter before the Lord.
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. Romans 12:1
Tabernacle Prayer !
14
If you want the fire of God burning in you offered daily your whole spirit, soul and body to the Lord God Almighty. All it begin at the alter of sacrifice and you will be accepted by God’s grace. And those who are Christ's have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. Galatians 5:24 At the alter I am prepared myself for greater things in God by allowing the fire of God burn within me.There must be within us hunger which aloud us to push forward from Outer Court to The Holy Place which is only passible being lead by the Holy Spirit. Knowing that God bring redemption to mankind through the blood of His Son it straightening our faith and reveals how deeply Father God loves us. There is no need for consisted animals sacrifice for Christ once for all replaces them all. There is hunger within me which aloud me to push forward from Outer Court to the Holy Place as I give myself wholeheartedly to the Holy Spirit. Brazen Alter is the place of death and DOOR way to eternal life. Many time we find ourself strangling with God because there is no daily alter with Holy God in out life. We may practicing weekly Sunday church alter but don’t have daily alter of worship. Apostle Paul understand this by saying, I affirm, by the boasting in you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily. 1 Corinthians 15:31 Tabernacle Prayer !
15
The Brazen Alter ( The Cross) is the place of death where the old man with his nature die and new man come alive unto God through Jesus Christ. It is the place of God’s love and grace is manifesting. It is the place where my sin is forgiven. Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him! Psalm 34:8 The Brazen Alter is the place where I am declared freedom and receiving righteousness in Christ Jesus through the Cross.Here I having heart to heart fellowship with God Almighty. I am free today from guilt ,shame, condemnation, sickness and all curses.Through the Cross I walk in the glory of the Lord daily. Lord Jesus there is life in Your blood, there is healing in Your blood, healing for my spirit, soul and body.Thank You Jesus that through Your precious blood You bruise the serpent “Satan” head and conquered the world. Dear Lord Jesus grand me sanctification and pour out the fullness of Your Holy Spirit within and upon me. Through Your blood I am loose and free from any hold that this world or the devil has on me. In the name of Jesus I canceled and break right now every chain! Through the blood of Jesus, I am free now! Lord Jesus thank you for taking my place at the Cross so that I can be forgiven, heal, righteousness, bless......etc. FORGIVENESS Lord Jesus You was punished that we through the blood at the Cross might be forgiven.

Ephesians 1:7, In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace. Romans 8:1, There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. HEALING Lord Jesus You was wounded so that we might be healed. Isaiah 53:4-5, Surely He has borne our grief’s. And carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted.5, But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed. 1 Peter 2:24, Who his own self bare our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness:by whose stripes you were healed. RIGHTEOUSNESS Lord Jesus You was made sin with our sinfulness that we might be made righteous with Your righteousness. Isaiah 53:10, Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise Him; He has put Him to grief. When You make His soul an offering for sin, He shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days, And the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in His hand. 2 Corinthians 5:21, For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

DIVINE LIFE Lord Jesus You died our death that we might receive You divine life. Hebrews 2:9, we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, for the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that He, by the grace of God, might taste death for everyone. ABUNDANCE Lord Jesus You endured our poverty that we might share Your abundance. 2 Corinthians 8:9, For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich. 2 Corinthians 9:8, And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work. Lord Jesus You was made a curse that we might enter into Your blessing. Galatians 3:13-14, Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, "Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree"), 14,that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

GLORY Lord Jesus You bore our shame that we might share Your glory. Matthew 27:35-36, Then they crucified Him, and divided His garments, casting lots, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet: " They divided My garments among them, And for My clothing they cast lots."36, Sitting down, they kept watch over Him there. Hebrews 12:2, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. v.9, Furthermore, we have had human fathers who corrected us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much more readily be in subjection to the Father of spirits and live? ACCEPTANCE Lord Jesus You endured our rejection that we might have Your acceptance with the Father. Matthew 27: 46-51, And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, "Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani ?" that is, "My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?"47,Some of those who stood there, when they heard that, said, "This Man is calling for Elijah!"48,Immediately one of them ran and took a sponge, filled it with sour wine and put it on a reed, and offered it to Him to drink.49,The rest said, "Let Him alone; let us see if Elijah will come to save Him."50,And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice, and yielded up His spirit.

19
SONSHIP Ephesian 1:5-6, having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, 6,to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved. Galatians 4:7, Therefore you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ. ETERNAL LIFE Lord Jesus You was cut off by death , that we might be joined to God eternally. Isaiah 53:8, He was taken from prison and from judgment, And who will declare His generation? For He was cut off from the land of the living; For the transgressions of My people He was stricken 1 Corinthians 6:17, But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him. NEW MAN Our old man was put to death in Him that the new man might come to life in us. Romans 6:6, knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin. Colossians 3:9-10, Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old man with his deeds,10,and have put on the new man Tabernacle Prayer !

who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him, 2 Corinthians 5:17, Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. Ephesians 4:22-24, that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, 23, and be renewed in the spirit of your mind,24, and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness. Galatians 2:20,I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. Jesus destroy the works of the devil by defeated him in two primary ways by forgiving our past sins and give us God’s righteousness by faith. Jesus atoned for mans sin and His precious blood provided royal priesthood. Now through the blood of Jesus I am redeemed from all the curses listen in Deuteronomy 28:15-68. Lord Jesus You dead on the cross so the Abrahamic covenant of blessing would be at work in my life. Now I am under a blessing of the Lord in Christ and whatever I put my hands to is only blessed. There is no place in my life for poverty or any curse for Jesus already became poor in my place so that I can remain rich in Him. Tabernacle Prayer !

This major blessing flowing through the blood of Jesus as we accept by faith in our hearts we have been: Receiving the forgiveness of our sins Matthew 26:28, For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. We are completely washed of our sins Revelation 1:5, And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in His own blood. Through the Blood of Jesus, I am redeemed out of the hand of the devil. Ephesians 1:7, In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace. Colossians 1:14, in whom we have redemption through His blood, the remission of sins Through the Blood of Jesus, I am justified, made righteous, just as if I’d never sinned. Romans 5:8-9, God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us more then, being now justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him

We are cleansed in our consciences Hebrews 9:14, how much more shall the blood of Christ cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? Through the Blood of Jesus, I am sanctified, made holy, set apart to God. Hebrews 13:12, Therefore Jesus also, so that He might sanctify the people through His own blood, suffered outside the gate. Through the Blood of Christ we can come before God’s Throne with boldness Hebrews 10:19, Therefore, brothers, having boldness to enter into the Holy of Holies by the blood of Jesus. Through the blood of Jesus I am continually being cleansed from all sin. 1 John 1:7, But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. Through the Blood, we overcome the enemy Tabernacle Prayer !

The blood of Jesus Christ cries out continually to God in heaven on my behalf. Hebrews 12:24, and to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel. You are God’s temple of the Holy Spirit Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? 1 Corinthians. 3:16 Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a harlot? Certainly not!16, Or do you not know that he who is joined to a harlot is one body with her? For "the two," He says, "shall become one flesh."17,But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him.18, Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body.19, Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, Tabernacle Prayer !

God has place His Shekinah glory within us to praise and worship Him in spirit and truth. Everything in us was created to magnified God and his glory and be at rest in us as the only true way to worship Him. Station 2. THE LAVER - Washing “ Jesus The Brazen Laver”

when the priests bent over it to wash he will see himself. The Laver was build totally with bronze and there was not wood elements in it like Brazen Alter. Wood representing humanity. At the Laver priests wash carefully their hands, feet and face less they die before entering to the Holy Place. The Laver was providing a place for all the priests to purify themselves before serving in ministry at the Holy Place. “You shall also make a laver of bronze, with its base also of bronze, for washing. You shall put it between the tabernacle of meeting and the altar. And you shall put water in it, for Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet in water from it.When they go into the tabernacle of meeting, or when they come near the altar to minister, to burn an offering made by fire to the Lord, they shall wash with water, lest they die. So they shall wash their hands and their feet, lest they die. And it shall be a statute forever to them— to him and his descendants throughout their generations. Exodus 30:18-21, Isaiah 1:16, “Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean; Put away the evil of your doings from before My eyes. Cease to do evil.

James 4:8, Come close to God, and God will come close to you. Wash your hands, you sinners; purify your hearts, for your loyalty is divided between God and the world. NLT Jesus is the Brazen Laver Purification of the priests in water of the Laver is prophetic picture of Jesus Christ being baptist by John at the river Jordan. Mark 1:7-11, And he preached, saying, “There comes One after me who is mightier than I, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to stoop down and loose. I indeed baptized you with water, but He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit .It came to pass in those days that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by John in the Jordan. And immediately, coming up from the water, He saw the heavens parting and the Spirit descending upon Him like a dove. Then a voice came from heaven, “You are My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Laver pointing towards Jesus as the Living Water that washing us through repentance of sins. Here I wash my consciences through the water of the Word and asking God to show me what is wrong in my heart.I am not in the hurry because I learn to understand that to enter to the Holy Place and eat from Showbread and stand before the Alter of Incense I need to be clean and blameless before the Lord God. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.If we confess our sins, He is faithful and Tabernacle Prayer !

just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:8-9 Therefore by the deeds of the law no flesh will be justified in His sight, for by the law is the knowledge of sin. Romans 3:20 At the Laver Hight Priest first wash their hands which representing the service and action to the Lord. After their feet which representing walk with the Lord. You are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light. 1 Peter 2:9 Such a great calling and blessing to be chose by God as a royal priest. The greater blessing we can ever experience is to be used by God. We should keep on focussing to minister unto the Lord and people that don’t know Him as the Lord and Savior. Our daily prayer life should consume us by praying for other people. Therefore, laying aside all malice, all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and all evil speaking,as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby, if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious. Coming to Him as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God and precious, you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ 1 Peter 2:1-5 Tabernacle Prayer !

BE WASH THROUGH THE HOLY WORD OF GOD James 1:22-25
Be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was. But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does. Jesus teaches us that we have no part in Him if the water of the word does not wash us.Through Him we have access to the tabernacle like the priest.Without Jesus washing us personally we will drop dead before entering to the Holy Place. (John 13:3-11) When they go into the tabernacle of meeting, or when they come near the altar to minister, to burn an offering made by fire to the Lord, they shall wash with water, lest they die. So they shall wash their hands and their feet, lest they die. And it shall be a statute forever to them—to him and his descendants throughout their generations. Exodus 30:20-21 Washing of the feet also representing preparation for a spiritual walk with the Lord God. Washing of the word is daily process. Before walking by faith into the Holy Place we must know in our heart that we are right with God and He is pleasing with you.

Hebrews 10:22 At the Laver we clean and reflecting our heart by inviting the Lord to show us wrong things in us. Let’s begin meditating on God’s Ten Commandments (Exodus 20) through the teaching of Jesus and carefully apply the Word in our life’s as the Scripture said” He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water." John 7:38 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness. 2 Timothy 3:16 THE HEART OF THE LAW Commandment I “You shall have no other gods before Me” Exodus 20:3 Anything that you spend most of your time it can become your god like wife, kids, family, business, tv, DVD’s, ministry, home, car, phone, computers....etc.Ask the Lord God to search your Tabernacle Prayer !

There is only one God in three persons: The Father, The Son, The Holy Spirit and the Lord Jesus commending us to obey “ The first of all the commandments is:‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. 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. Mark 12:29-30 Commandment II “You shall not make for yourself a carved image—any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. Exodus 20:4 People are forbidden to produce any kinds of idols, images and other substitutes for Living God as they can’t make anything that will truly expressed Him. Do I bow knee to any idols or compromising the truth and do my supreme role as a priest unto the Lord is above anything else? Commandment III “You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain. Tabernacle Prayer !

Exodus 20:7 Do I call “YHWH” God’s name in vain any of YHWH ( The Name of God) names? People using God’s name in vain by trying to use it to advance evil purposes by coaxing God to violate His character and purposes. Also through false religions activity often used the names of false gods. Commandment IV “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy”. Exodus 20:8 The Sabbath means “rest”. Other peoples had their own patterns of work and rest, but chosen people of God was to set aside one day in seven for rest before the Lord God of Isreal. The day was kept holy by stoping all labor on that day. Today Jesus Christ become our Sabbath and in Him we dwell and rest by faith. There should no be any striving in out walk with God. There remains therefore a rest for the people of God. For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His. Let us therefore be diligent to

enter that rest, lest anyone fall according to the same example of disobedience. Hebrews 4:9-11 Commandment V “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you” Exodus 20:12 Honor means “to treat with significance”. Caring and respecting elderly parents was a basic elements and tradition in Israel. People who were faithless to God in dishonoring their parents would not last in the land. In the Gospel of Mark 19:19 Jesus teach us again same by saying “Honor your father and your mother,’ and, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”Also we must honoring people in authority over us like government leaders, pastors, teachers...etc. Are we walk in integrity and honor towards our parents, wife, family, authority, leaders or do we gossip about them? Commandment VI “You shall not murder”. Exodus 20:13

Each of these commandments was reaffirmed in the New Testament by Jesus Christ “rhema”. "You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.'44,But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you,45,that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. Matthew 5:43-45 Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him. 1 John 3:15 He who says he is in the light, and hates his brother, is in darkness until now.10,He who loves his brother abides in the light, and there is no cause for stumbling in him.11,But he who hates his brother is in darkness and walks in darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes. 1 John 2:9-11 For this is the message that you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another,12, not as Cain who was of the wicked one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his works were evil and his brother's righteous. v.14, We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren.

Commandment VII “You shall not commit adultery” Exodus 20:14 Marriage was created by God and relationship holy and faithful. Jesus teaching about adultery in the heart (look on woman and man the same because in Christ is “no male or woman” and in heaven we all will be same pure brother and sister. Renewed your mind to this truth! "You have heard that it was said to those of old, 'You shall not commit adultery.'28,But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart. 29,If your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell.30,And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell.

Passing through five pillars we walk into the Holy Place where we face Golden Lamstand on our left hand side and on northern wall of the tabernacle is located Showbread describes in Exodus 25:31-34. “You shall also make a lampstand of pure gold; the lampstand shall be of hammered work. Its shaft, its branches, its bowls, its ornamental knobs, and flowers shall be of one piece. And six branches shall come out of its sides:three branches of the lampstand out of one side, and three branches of the lampstand out of the other side. Three bowls shall be made like almond blossoms on one branch, with an ornamental knob and a flower, and three bowls made like almond blossoms on the other branch, with an ornamental knob and a flower—and so for the six branches that come out of the lampstand. On the lampstand itself Tabernacle Prayer !

four bowls shall be made like almond blossoms, each with its ornamental knob and flower. The lampstand has seven branches, which points to the seven spirits of the Lord described in the Bible. The Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon Him, the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD. Isaiah 11:2 Also the purpose on the lamb was to burning incense by priests on the Alter of Incense “every morning when he trims the lamps” and then again “ when Aaron trims the lamps at twilight.Thus there was perpetual incense, light and bread before God Almighty. Here I worship and fellowship with the Sprit of God allowing Him to teach me new things because only through Him I understand the Word. David said “Your word is a lamb to my feet and a light to my path” Psalm 119:105. It is at the Lampstand I learn to understood God’s heart desire and receiving the consuming fire to rune with the vision God set before me. Only through the Spirit of God we are able to see Wonderful Jesus as the Son of God because it is the purpose of the Holy Spirit to gloried Jesus Christ. In the NT. Jesus Christ visited the holy city “Jerusalem” during the Feast of Lights (Hannukah) and walk through Salomon’s Porch as “being the light of the world” John 8:12 Tabernacle Prayer !

Golden Lampstand represents the Person of the Holy Spirit along with His gifts and attributes ( 1 Corinthians 12:1-12). The Holy Spirit is God ( John 4:24), giving willingly all the gifts of the Spirit and He is the revealer of things to come. There gifts are special weapons against the devil, his demons, the world and all flesh that try separate you from God Almighty. At the Holy Place we learn the gifts availability and potential to apply in life for the benefits of God’s kingdom. All this gifts are special and supernatural from the third person of the Trinity which enable the Church to defeat any enemy that comes against it. Holy Spirit always teaches us that Jesus Christ is the answer right now ( Ephesians 6:10-18, 2 Corinthians 10:4-5). One of the greatest needs in the Body of Christ is to understand and know the Third Person of the Trinity in order to be effective in this world because is “not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,‘says the Lord of hosts. Zechariah 4:6. It is the Holy Spirit whom determines to where you will be assigned like it was with Philip in Acts 8:29. Holy Spirit is light Fellowship with Him and One Another This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. 1 John 1:5 Holy Spirit manifesting Himself as fire For the Lord your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.

It is the Spirit who helping us in our weaknesses. “For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groaning which cannot be uttered”.Romans 8:26 Christ came as High Priest of the good things to come, with the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands, that is, not of this creation. Not with the blood of goats and calves, but with His own blood He entered the Most Holy Place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption. Hebrews 9:11-12 I am so blessed to experience what Jesus Christ did for us. Here is place of supernatural encounter with the Spirit of God where you are being filled and possessed by Him. Let the Holy Spirit take you unto the holy presence of the Lord God and preparing you as triumphant Church of the Lord Jesus Christ for His second coming.

We are created by God to be daily at His omnipotent presence and our prayers are extremely important to God. As priest were keep the incense burning at least twice daily so much we must keep the prayers in our life burning to the Lord. Clear examples which Bible giving us is find in Luke 1:5-13, when Zacharias was burning incense to the Lord. There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the division of Abijah. His wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth. And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless. But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both well advanced in years. So it was, that while he was serving as priest before God in the order of his division, according to the custom of the priesthood, his lot fell to burn incense when he went into the temple of the Lord. And the whole multitude of the people was praying outside at the hour of incense. Then an angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing on the right side of the altar of incense.

Exodus 26:31 Thank be to God who through Jesus Christ open new way into the holy presence of God. Through Christ death at the cross, the curtain was removed so that we enter into the Most Holy Place. Now it was about the sixth hour, and there was darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour. Then the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn in two. And when Jesus had cried out with a loud voice, He said, “ Father, ‘into Your hands I commit My spirit. ’” Having said this, He breathed His last. Luke 23:44-45 After this, Jesus, knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, “ I thirst!” Now a vessel full of sour wine was sitting there; and they filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on hyssop, and put it to His mouth. So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “ It is finished!” And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit.

Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching. Hebrews 10:19-25 Station 6. THE HOLY OF HOLIES – ARK OF THE COVENANT Exodus 25:10-22
Tabernacle Prayer !
56
Inside of the Ark of Covenant were the tables which God had given to Moses with commandments. In the New Testament Paul wrote about Tabernacle (Most Holy Place, Great Hight Priest, Ark of the Covenant, sacrifices, offerings....) Hebrews 6:13-20,7,8,9,10 NLT For example, there was God’s promise to Abraham. Since there was no one greater to swear by, God took an oath in his own name, saying: “I will certainly bless you, and I will multiply your descendants beyond number.” Then Abraham waited patiently, and he received what God had promised.Now when people take an oath, they call on someone greater than themselves to hold them to it. And without any question that oath is binding. God also bound himself with an oath, so that those who received the promise could be perfectly sure that he would never change his mind. So God has given both his promise and his oath. These two things are unchangeable because it is impossible for God to lie. Therefore, we who have fled to him for refuge can have great confidence as we hold to the hope that lies before us. This hope is a strong and trustworthy anchor for our souls. It leads us through the curtain into God’s inner sanctuary. Jesus has already gone in there for us. He has become our eternal High Priest in the order of Melchizedek. Hebrews 6:13-20 This Melchizedek was king of the city of Salem and also a priest of God Most High. When Abraham was returning home after Tabernacle Prayer !
57
winning a great battle against the kings, Melchizedek met him and blessed him. Then Abraham took a tenth of all he had captured in battle and gave it to Melchizedek. The name Melchizedek means “king of justice,” and king of Salem means “king of peace.” There is no record of his father or mother or any of his ancestors—no beginning or end to his life. He remains a priest forever, resembling the Son of God.Consider then how great this Melchizedek was. Even Abraham, the great patriarch of Israel, recognized this by giving him a tenth of what he had taken in battle. Now the law of Moses required that the priests, who are descendants of Levi, must collect a tithe from the rest of the people of Israel, who are also descendants of Abraham. But Melchizedek, who was not a descendant of Levi, collected a tenth from Abraham. And Melchizedek placed a blessing upon Abraham, the one who had already received the promises of God. And without question, the person who has the power to give a blessing is greater than the one who is blessed.The priests who collect tithes are men who die, so Melchizedek is greater than they are, because we are told that he lives on. In addition, we might even say that these Levites—the ones who collect the tithe—paid a tithe to Melchizedek when their ancestor Abraham paid a tithe to him. For although Levi wasn’t born yet, the seed from which he came was in Abraham’s body when Melchizedek collected the tithe from him.So if the priesthood of Levi, on which the law was based, could have achieved the perfection God intended, why did God need to establish a different priesthood, with a priest in the order of Melchizedek instead of the order of Levi and Aaron? And if the priesthood is changed, the law must also be changed to permit it. For the priest we are talking about belongs to a different tribe, Tabernacle Prayer !

whose members have never served at the altar as priests. What I mean is, our Lord came from the tribe of Judah, and Moses never mentioned priests coming from that tribe. Jesus Is like Melchizedek This change has been made very clear since a different priest, who is like Melchizedek, has appeared. Jesus became a priest, not by meeting the physical requirement of belonging to the tribe of Levi, but by the power of a life that cannot be destroyed. And the psalmist pointed this out when he prophesied,“You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.” Yes, the old requirement about the priesthood was set aside because it was weak and useless. For the law never made anything perfect. But now we have confidence in a better hope, through which we draw near to God. This new system was established with a solemn oath. Aaron’s descendants became priests without such an oath, but there was an oath regarding Jesus. For God said to him,“The Lord has taken an oath and will not break his vow:‘You are a priest forever. ’” Because of this oath, Jesus is the one who guarantees this better covenant with God.There were many priests under the old system, for death prevented them from remaining in office. But because Jesus lives forever, his priesthood lasts forever. Therefore he is able, once and forever, to save those who come to God through him. He lives forever to intercede with God on their behalf.He is the kind of high priest we need because he is holy and blameless, unstained by sin. He has been set apart from sinners and has been given the highest place of honor in heaven. Unlike those other high priests, he does not need to offer sacrifices Tabernacle Prayer !

every day. They did this for their own sins first and then for the sins of the people. But Jesus did this once for all when he offered himself as the sacrifice for the people’s sins. The law appointed high priests who were limited by human weakness. But after the law was given, God appointed his Son with an oath, and his Son has been made the perfect High Priest forever. Hebrews 7 Christ Is Our High Priest Here is the main point:We have a High Priest who sat down in the place of honor beside the throne of the majestic God in heaven. There he ministers in the heavenly Tabernacle, the true place of worship that was built by the Lord and not by human hands.And since every high priest is required to offer gifts and sacrifices, our High Priest must make an offering, too. If he were here on earth, he would not even be a priest, since there already are priests who offer the gifts required by the law. They serve in a system of worship that is only a copy, a shadow of the real one in heaven. For when Moses was getting ready to build the Tabernacle, God gave him this warning:“Be sure that you make everything according to the pattern I have shown you here on the mountain.”But now Jesus, our High Priest, has been given a ministry that is far superior to the old priesthood, for he is the one who mediates for us a far better covenant with God, based on better promises. If the first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no need for a second covenant to replace it. But when God found fault with the people, he said:“The day is coming, says the Tabernacle Prayer !

Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the people of Israel and Judah.This covenant will not be like the one I made with their ancestors when I took them by the hand and led them out of the land of Egypt. They did not remain faithful to my covenant, so I turned my back on them, says the Lord.But this is the new covenant I will make with the people of Israel on that day, says the Lord: I will put my laws in their minds, and I will write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people.And they will not need to teach their neighbors, nor will they need to teach their relatives, saying, ‘You should know the Lord. ’ For everyone, from the least to the greatest, will know me already. And I will forgive their wickedness, and I will never again remember their sins.”When God speaks of a “new” covenant, it means he has made the first one obsolete. It is now out of date and will soon disappear. Hebrews 8 The Earthly Sanctuary That first covenant between God and Israel had regulations for worship and a place of worship here on earth. There were two rooms in that Tabernacle. In the first room were a lampstand, a table, and sacred loaves of bread on the table. This room was called the Holy Place. Then there was a curtain, and behind the curtain was the second room called the Most Holy Place.In that room were a gold Tabernacle Prayer !
61
incense altar and a wooden chest called the Ark of the Covenant, which was covered with gold on all sides. Inside the Ark were a gold jar containing manna, Aaron’s staff that sprouted leaves, and the stone tablets of the covenant. Above the Ark were the cherubim of divine glory, whose wings stretched out over the Ark’s cover, the place of atonement. But we cannot explain these things in detail now.When these things were all in place, the priests regularly entered the first room as they performed their religious duties. But only the high priest ever entered the Most Holy Place, and only once a year. And he always offered blood for his own sins and for the sins the people had committed in ignorance. By these regulations the Holy Spirit revealed that the entrance to the Most Holy Place was not freely open as long as the Tabernacle and the system it represented were still in use. This is an illustration pointing to the present time. For the gifts and sacrifices that the priests offer are not able to cleanse the consciences of the people who bring them.For that old system deals only with food and drink and various cleansing ceremonies —physical regulations that were in effect only until a better system could be established. Christ Is the Perfect Sacrifice. So Christ has now become the High Priest over all the good things that have come. He has entered that greater, more perfect Tabernacle in heaven, which was not made by human hands and is not part of this created world. With his own blood —not the blood of goats and calves—he entered the Most Holy Tabernacle Prayer !

Place once for all time and secured our redemption forever.Under the old system, the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a young cow could cleanse people’s bodies from ceremonial impurity. Just think how much more the blood of Christ will purify our consciences from sinful deeds so that we can worship the living God. For by the power of the eternal Spirit, Christ offered himself to God as a perfect sacrifice for our sins. That is why he is the one who mediates a new covenant between God and people, so that all who are called can receive the eternal inheritance God has promised them. For Christ died to set them free from the penalty of the sins they had committed under that first covenant.Now when someone leaves a will, it is necessary to prove that the person who made it is dead. The will goes into effect only after the person’s death. While the person who made it is still alive, the will cannot be put into effect.That is why even the first covenant was put into effect with the blood of an animal. For after Moses had read each of God’s commandments to all the people, he took the blood of calves and goats, along with water, and sprinkled both the book of God’s law and all the people, using hyssop branches and scarlet wool.Then he said, “This blood confirms the covenant God has made with you.” And in Tabernacle Prayer !

the same way, he sprinkled blood on the Tabernacle and on everything used for worship. In fact, according to the law of Moses, nearly everything was purified with blood. For without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness.That is why the Tabernacle and everything in it, which were copies of things in heaven, had to be purified by the blood of animals. But the real things in heaven had to be purified with far better sacrifices than the blood of animals. For Christ did not enter into a holy place made with human hands, which was only a copy of the true one in heaven. He entered into heaven itself to appear now before God on our behalf.And he did not enter heaven to offer himself again and again, like the high priest here on earth who enters the Most Holy Place year after year with the blood of an animal. If that had been necessary, Christ would have had to die again and again, ever since the world began. But now, once for all time, he has appeared at the end of the age to remove sin by his own death as a sacrifice. And just as each person is destined to die once and after that comes judgment, so also Christ died once for all time as a sacrifice to take away the sins of many people. He will come again, not to deal with our sins, but to bring salvation to all who are eagerly waiting for him. Hebrews 9 Christ’s Sacrifice Once for All The old system under the law of Moses was only a shadow, a dim preview of the good things to come, not the good things Tabernacle Prayer !

themselves. The sacrifices under that system were repeated again and again, year after year, but they were never able to provide perfect cleansing for those who came to worship. If they could have provided perfect cleansing, the sacrifices would have stopped, for the worshipers would have been purified once for all time, and their feelings of guilt would have disappeared. But instead, those sacrifices actually reminded them of their sins year after year.For it is not possible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins. That is why, when Christ came into the world, he said to God,“You did not want animal sacrifices or sin offerings. But you have given me a body to offer. You were not pleased with burnt offerings or other offerings for sin.Then I said, ‘Look, I have come to do your will, O God—as is written about me in the Scriptures. ’” First, Christ said, “You did not want animal sacrifices or sin offerings or burnt offerings or other offerings for sin, nor were you pleased with them” (though they are required by the law of Moses). Then he said, “Look, I have come to do your will.” He cancels the first covenant in order to put the second into effect.For God’s will was for us to be made holy by the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ, once for all time. Under the old covenant, the priest stands and ministers before the altar day after day, offering the same sacrifices again and again, which can never take away sins. But our High Priest offered himself to God as a single sacrifice for sins, good for all time. Then he sat down in the place of honor at God’s right hand. There he waits until his enemies are humbled and made a Tabernacle Prayer !

footstool under his feet.Under the old covenant, the priest stands and ministers before the altar day after day, offering the same sacrifices again and again, which can never take away sins. But our High Priest offered himself to God as a single sacrifice for sins, good for all time. Then he sat down in the place of honor at God’s right hand. There he waits until his enemies are humbled and made a footstool under his feet. For by that one offering he forever made perfect those who are being made holy. And the Holy Spirit also testifies that this is so. For he says, “This is the new covenant I will make with my people on that day, says the Lord: I will put my laws in their hearts, and I will write them on their minds.”Then he says, “I will never again remember their sins and lawless deeds.” And when sins have been forgiven, there is no need to offer any more sacrifices. A Call to Persevere And so, dear brothers and sisters, we can boldly enter heaven’s Most Holy Place because of the blood of Jesus. By his death, Jesus opened a new and life-giving way through the curtain into the Most Holy Place. And since we have a great High Priest who rules over God’s house, let us go right into the presence of God with sincere hearts fully trusting him. For our guilty consciences have been sprinkled with Christ’s blood to make us clean, and our bodies have been washed with pure water.Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. Let us think Tabernacle Prayer !

of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works. And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near. Dear friends, if we deliberately continue sinning after we have received knowledge of the truth, there is no longer any sacrifice that will cover these sins.There is only the terrible expectation of God’s judgment and the raging fire that will consume his enemies. For anyone who refused to obey the law of Moses was put to death without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. Just think how much worse the punishment will be for those who have trampled on the Son of God, and have treated the blood of the covenant, which made us holy, as if it were common and unholy, and have insulted and disdained the Holy Spirit who brings God’s mercy to us. For we know the one who said“I will take revenge. I will pay them back.” He also said, “The Lord will judge his own people.” It is a terrible thing to fall into the hands of the living God.Think back on those early days when you first learned about Christ. Remember how you remained faithful even though it meant terrible suffering. Sometimes you were exposed to public ridicule and were beaten, and sometimes you helped others who were suffering the same things. You suffered along with those who were thrown into jail, and when all you owned was taken from you, you accepted it with joy. You knew there were better things waiting for you that will last forever.So do not throw away this confident trust in the Lord. Remember the great reward it brings you! Patient endurance is what you need now, so that you will continue to do God’s will. Then you will receive Tabernacle Prayer !

all that he has promised.“For in just a little while, the Coming One will come and not delay. And my righteous ones will live by faith. But I will take no pleasure in anyone who turns away.” But we are not like those who turn away from God to their own destruction. We are the faithful ones, whose souls will be saved. Hebrews 10
