Texts: Psalms 25:14; Psa. 35:1-8;Rev. 3:7,8

 

Introduction: This covenant(Heb. 9:24;Josh. 3:1-3) when unleased is the most powerful weapon that a believer has in his or her possession(11 Cor. 10:4,5). It is symbolic of the Seven Priest that bore it each representing the Seven Spirits of God(Isa. 11;1;Josh. 6:6,7; 1 Pet. 2:9). Yes, we are royal priesthood and a holy nation. The Seven pries represent the Garment of Praise(Isa.; and Eph. 6:10-17), talking about the 6 elements of the whole armour of God.

                         This Ark in the old testament which was physical, but in this new covenant, the ark is spiritual(John 3:1-8;11 Cor. 5:7;Heb. 9:24). Even in the New Testament, that ark had no effect if Israel was steaped in tradition and/or idolatry with riotous living, the Ark of the Covenant had no power(no favor of God) (1 Sam.13:13,14; 1 Sam. 17:1-8).

 

                        When you walk, believe and live out the principles of true Holiness(1 John 3:9;Rom. 6:1;Gal. 5:1,16) God will honor his word concerning you. His word will not return void when your bread is cast upon the water(Gal.6:7;Isa. 55:11;Rom 4:17;Matt. 17:19,29;Matt. 21:21,22). This is how you release the covenant which is like Jeremiah said written in you(Jer.20:9;Jer.31:33).

               

                       This tabernacle and the Ark of the Covenant is in you(11 Co. 5:1;Jer. 31:33). This the Seven elements(furnishings) of the tabernacle (dwell in us):The Laver, Table of Shew bread, The Lampstand, Altar of Incense, Ark of the Covenant, The Mercy Seat(Ex. 25:21-40).

CONCLUSION:

        Yes, God has set before you an open door(Rev. 3:7,8). Feast Days, Holy Places, and seasons do not determine special access to God(Heb. 9:24;John 5:1-5). The Lord's Supper(1 Cor. 11:28-31;Table of Shew Bread), Faith and The Word(John 6:63;Rom. 4:17;Lampstand)  ,Avoiding Bad Company(1 Cor. 15:33;Laver Obedience--1 Sam. 15:22(Ark of the Covenant), Favor and Hedge(Job 2:3;Luke 1:30;Mercy Seat), Cause and Effect(1 Sam. 17:40; John 18:37;Mark 7;21-23;Heb. 4:2;Altar of Incense). Now,you understand, why our bodies are the Temple of God and the seven furnishings of the taberacle(1 Cor. 6:19;11 Cor. 6:18).
