Timely Insights into God's Word from Khandielese Reyes | |
This Weeks Message- (scripture taken from King James Version) ENTER IN THE MOST HOLY PLACE Now when these things were thus ordained, the
priests went always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service of God. But into the second went the High Priest
alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the
errors of the people: The Holy Ghost this
signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while
as the first tabernacle was yet standing: Which
was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices,
that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the
conscience. Which stood only in meats and
drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of
reformation. But Christ being come an high
priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with
hands, that is to say, not of this building; Neither by the blood of goats and
calves, but by HIS OWN BLOOD he entered in once into the Holy Place having obtained
eternal redemption for us. For if the
blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean,
sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: How
much more shall the BLOOD OF CHRIST, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself
without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? And for this cause he is the mediator of the new
testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were
under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal
inheritance. (Heb 9:6-15) Before
I begin to share what the Lord has given me in this weeks message, let us first
establish once and for all the very purpose of the creation of man. It is important that we, being His creation
understand His purpose, that we may be pleasing to Him in all things, serving Him with a
pure and joyful heart. For our spirits have
known the purpose of God from the beginning, however the flesh rebels against the truth. For there are some whove been severely misled
into believing they were created by God only to be served by Him. They ask, and he supplies. They command and he adheres to the command, and yet
NOTHING made has ever nor shall ever take precedent over HE who has made it! He who creates is ABOVE what has been created as
what has been created was done so for the purpose of SERVING its CREATOR and
NOT to be served BY its Creator. For no
one has purposely created something for the sole desire of becoming the servant of the
thing he has made, but the thing made MUST become the servant to HE who made it! Therefore, man was not created by God that he would
then become the servant to man, but rather that man would from his heart choose to serve
Him. For man was NOT the creator but the
subject of the creation, thus in order to function as he was designed to do, the creation
must be fully yielded to the CREATOR. Through
the yielding there is intense intimacy and divine oneness with our Father such as he
desires and as the first Physical man Adam experienced before the
fall. For he did walk in this beautiful
intimacy and awesome fellowship with The Lord God until SIN entered in and he could no
longer remain. Therefore, the door was shut
and only the High Priest could enter in, until JESUS made the way for ALL that
so desired to Enter in The Most Holy
Place. The
Tabernacle (place of dwelling) as described in the Old Testament consisted of
THREE parts. The first was the Outer
Courts where burnt offerings were made. The
people would give their offering to the Lord through Aaron and his sons, who would then
offer this to The Lord for atonement. The
second part of the Tabernacle was called The Holy Place. This was the first portion of the actual
Tent or The
third part of the Tabernacle was called The Most Holy Place. Here was the place of total surrender, of complete
worship to the Lord. A place of reconciliation
and blessed intimacy, where creation worshiped and honored his creator with all that was
within. In The Within
the church today, we have many that have yet to enter in the There
are also many that have come into the There
are many that may desire to enter into The Most Holy Place, but what keeps man who
was originally created for this purpose from entering in this most blessed place of
intimacy with The Father is his refusal to let go of self.
For if he desires to cling to the things of the flesh, he cannot enter in
and with the spirit worship The Father, as sin cannot dwell in The Most Holy Place. Thus man remains in the outer courts offering up
sacrifices to the Lord in hopes of blotting out the present sins,
believing that good works and the giving of gifts would cover his inward
wickedness, having no spiritual understanding that atonement has already been made through
the shed blood of Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God. Mans
only need is to repent and surrender himself back to The Lord. For there is no longer a veil of separation, and
all who desire to return back to the SPIRITUALLY NATURAL FORM OF WORSHIP are free to do
so. However, we CANNOT take the sins of the
flesh with us but must be purged and cleansed having all that is not of God uprooted from
us that we may serve him with a pure heart. Thus,
the flesh has no part, for those who worship
the Lord MUST worship Him in SPIRIT and in TRUTH! Inwardly,
our spirits LONG for this for it is natural to our spirits since it is the
spirit of man that was created in the IMAGE of God. Thus, the spirit desires the things of the Lord,
but the flesh which was NOT created in His Image and which has the very nature of sin,
rebels against this desiring more to please itself. Therefore,
there is constant war going on between the flesh and spirit, but the spirit has the power
to put the flesh under subjection that it would follow and no longer lead. The
door to the blessed and sacred place is always open. This
is the place the Lord desires his children to dwell. And,
if we desire to Enter in The Most Holy
Place, if we desire to return back to our natural form of worship, then we must
allow ourselves to be thoroughly washed and cleansed, having all that is not of God purged
from us and MUST ourselves be willing to say NO to the flesh and YES to the spirit in
TOTAL surrender to the one who so lovingly formed us and breathed the breath of life into
us. He IS above all! Nothing and no one should come before Him. He is the first and the Last, the beginning and
the end, the alpha and omega, GREAT and WONDERFUL is his name WORTHY to be PRAISE with
everlasting praises! LET
THE CREATION, SAY TO THE CREATOR
.FATHER, I SURRENDER! I
WORSHIP YOU, I WORSHIP YOU! THE REASON THAT I
LIVE, IS TO WORSHIP YOU!! The Lord be with you this day and always! Shalom Uvracha (Peace and Blessings) .. Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh,
May the peace of the Lord be with you today and always KhandieleseDaughter & Servant of the Lord God |
