Beaten for the light

BEATEN FOR THE LIGHT

Lev 24: 1-4

The Lord speaks to Mose about establishing the tabernacle and he goes to great length about building it according to pattern. He does things by plans and strategies. I am learning as I walk with God, that if you don’t have a plan or strategy you will never be successful. You can’t just hope to win at life; you have to have a plan for living or you’ll spend the rest of your life wondering aimlessly going nowhere. God does everything by plan; he has methods, a definite agenda. If you don’t have an agenda for life, people will put anywhere they want you to be. Manipulation will take over you life and you spend all of your years trying to figure out who you really our, and by the time you do you will resent all of the people that misappropriated you according to their own devices and agendas. God has a plan in everything that he does and he told Mose to build according to plan.
God had three areas of the tabernacle that he establish: the outer court, which was the yard or playground; the inner court, that was the place where the priest and servants dwelled and the place where consecrations went fourth; then you have the hollies of hollies which was reserved for the royal presence of GOD. The closer you got to God the smaller the crowd; in the yard you had a lot of people and there was a lot going on. In the inner court or holy place it became smaller, just the priesthood, those people that were committed to consecration; just those ministries who have yielded themselves unto service. Then in the hollies of hollies, you had to slip through the veil and go into the room where God was sovereign and God ruled there absolutely. It was in that most holy place that the priest dwelled, that God speaks to Mose to establish the candlesticks. He say something that really interesting, he says that the candle lights are not to go out, that they are to burn continuously, they to burn without stopping or without ceasing. Now you must understand, that in the outer courts you didn’t need any candlelight, because you had daylight. Everybody could see in daylight, whether you are just or unjust, in the kingdom or out. It’s just natural light. But if you come through the outer court, into the most holy place there was the candle light, which was the place for revelation and illumination, no natural light, it was a little bit more select you had to be consecrated to come in there. You moved beyond natural light into the candlelight it represented revelation, for it was the word. David says things like, “thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my pathway.” It’s the word of God that lights up your way and shows you what to do next when you don’t know what to do. Then in the holies of holies you didn’t need candlelight, because you had divine light where you walked in the presence of God. And God, his face, his su kinda glory illuminated the room, you don’t need dress it, you don’t need to work it up, you don’t need to prompt it up, you don’t need to plug it up. God’s presence just illuminating in the holies of holies, but when God establish a most holy place, it was the place that the priests were to dwell. He says I want you to put in that place a lamp, a light, a candlestick, a place for revelation symbolic of the word and of those who carry the word. God says I want you to make sure that the
