THE CONSCIOUSNESS OF GOD

PRESS INTO THE CONSCIOUSNESS OF HIS GLORY

When we look into the Old Testament Tabernacle every article has meaning and many spiritual lessons and revelation of Jesus type. All the 3 compartments of the Tabernacle of Moses teaches us to move from our self consciousness to God consciousness. The first two are the Outer court and the Holy Place.

The articles in the Outer Court of the Tabernacle we have the brazen altar and the brazen laver where the animal sacrifices were made and the washing of sins. God wants us to move on to the Holy Place and into the Holy of Holies. The Outer Court speaks of judgment upon sin and there is a constant reminder of sins. The believer who dwells in this realm will not able to go forward far in their spiritual lives because they will be constantly burden with guilt and caught by being sin consciousness or self consciousness.

The articles in the Holy Place has three things there. The Lampstand, Table of Showbread and Altar of Incense. These speaks to me about Grace and the Light of Jesus. We press into the realm of Grace. When we are in this place we will be more Grace Conscious, Righteous and Word Conscious. Both the Holy Place and Holy of Holies were made mainly of gold. Gold speaks of purity and the glory of God.

As we move deeper into the Tabernacle, our consciousness of God increases. We will be more conscious of God’s purity, power and presence. The glory of God will be increased. The Holy of Holies speaks of our spirit – that part of our being which is God conscious. This is the place or realm that we speak of "Glory Consciousness". So from Sin consciousness we move into Grace and Righteous consciousness and into the last realm of Glory consciousness.

The consciousness of God and His presence will permeate us in our lives as we spent time fellowshipping with God in the Holy of Holies. This is knowing the Father from the beginning. In First John 2:12 says, "I write to you little children because your sins are forgiven you for His name's sake. (Outer Court) And verse 13. I write to you fathers, because you have known Him from the beginning. (Holy of Holies realm) I write to you young men, (Holy Place realm) because you are strong and the Word of God abides in you and you have overcome the wicked one." Yes, from little children to young men to fathers.

If we want to live a godly life, we must be more conscious of God and chose to live and walk in the realm of the Holy of Holies. When we are more conscious of God’s Presence, power and glory, our faith level will increase and it will be easier for us to believe for miracles. This is the dimension that God wants us to move in our spirit in these last days.

When we enter into the Holy of Holies, we receive 30 fold, 60 fold and a 100 fold blessings. (Outer court, Holy place and Holy of Holies) Without exception our lives will be fruitful – producing the hundredfold. These are the ones who has passed from the Outer Court and gone beyond the Holy Place and enter into the riches of His glory and blessings. There is an increased spiritual fruitfulness and productivity. This is where we called the realm of multiplication- “Peace and Grace be multiply to you” We are able to touch multitudes like Jesus in our ministry.
Then we go from the good, the better and the Best.

In I Corinthians 12:31 says “But earnestly desire the best….” We want the best. God’s best blessings, richest anointing and powerful presence in our lives. So the Best of the best is in the Holy of Holies where God Almighty dwells. Now Jesus the High Priest of the New Covenant has opened the way for us to personally enter into the Holy of Holies.

In Numbers 18:12 says “All the best of the oil, all the best of the new wine and the grain of their firstfruits which they offer to the Lord, I have given them to you.” All the best blessings are found in the Holy of Holies where the Glory of God dwells – the Ark of the Covenant. The life that we live with grace, beauty, purpose and power in the Spirit.

Each of the three areas of the Tabernacle was illuminated by different kinds of light. The Outer Court shines by the natural light from the sun, moon and stars. The light of the Holy Place was the Golden Lampstand. But the Holy of Holies was lit up by glory and from the Shekinah Glory – from God Himself. Out of the three the Shekinah Glory was the brightest that blinded Apostle Paul’s eyes when he saw the glory of Christ. When Stephen died he saw the glory of God as the people were stoning him. He felt no pain. God says “Let there be light” Psalms 36:9 says, “In Your light we see light.”

When we see His light, we see things in the light of eternity. You will see everything for a purpose and His Perfect will for your life. In the Outer Court you see “His Permissive Will”, in the Holy Place we see “His Acceptable Will” but in the Holy of Holies we see “His Perfect Will”. And to stop at the Holy place is to stop short of His Perfect will into His ultimate glory realm. From grace to glory and from glory to glory!

For Roman 12:2 says, “Don’t become like the people of this world. Instead, change the way you think. Then you will always be able to determine what God really wants – what is good, pleasing and acceptable, and perfect will of God.”

May the Grace and Glory of God be in you!
