Lampstand/Candlestick – Part 11 – What the Spirit of the Fear of the LORD is NOT.
Earlier we defined the Spirit of the Fear of the LORD. It imparts an overwhelming desire to please God and do His will—to obey Him. Some people would say, “We are already pleasing to God. He sees us as perfect in Christ. The desire to please Him is a works mentality or a religious spirit. … Continue reading Lampstand/Candlestick – Part 11 – What the Spirit of the Fear of the LORD is NOT.
The Lampstand/Candlestick – Part 5 – the Spirit of Wisdom
When we say the word wisdom, we usually think of information gained through our experience or someone else's, right? While that is usually the train of thought, Biblical wisdom is so much more. Spiritual wisdom is creative. It provides a solution to a problem that has never been done before. It is completely out of … Continue reading The Lampstand/Candlestick – Part 5 – the Spirit of Wisdom
The Lampstand/Candlestick – Part 4 – The Spirit of God
We started uncovering the treasures of the Lampstand several weeks ago. Exodus 25:31-40 are the instructions God gave Moses.

Dinner with God – The Peace or Fellowship Offering
The Peace or Fellowship Offering is the last of the five voluntary offerings. The worshiper chose when and if to take them to the priest. Unlike the sin offerings, the Peace offering and the Grain offering were for thanksgiving and rededication. The Peace or Fellowship offering was more like a celebration because the priests and … Continue reading Dinner with God – The Peace or Fellowship Offering
The Unintentional Sin and Trespass Offerings
The Sin Offering The instructions begin with these two verses, Leviticus 4:1-2.

The Gate – Part 2 — What Do the Colors Mean?
Moses rubbed his eyes. God’s words continued without a pause. Visions formed in his mind. “But how am I going to remember all of this?” He asked. “Yahweh, I don’t have a scribe with me. You told me I must follow Your pattern exactly, but I do not have a way to record it.” “Fear … Continue reading The Gate – Part 2 — What Do the Colors Mean?
The Tabernacle – The Use of Brass in the Fence
When God gave Moses instructions for the Tabernacle, He also gave him specific details about the curtained fence around its courtyard.

This is the scripture we … Continue reading The Tabernacle – The Use of Brass in the Fence
Who is This Child in a Manger? (repost)
I am taking the liberty to repost this blog from a few years ago. Even if you read it then, it is always good to take another look at Yeshua. We easily forget who He is and why He came. Yeshua wasn’t born on December 25th, but it is the day that the world traditionally … Continue reading Who is This Child in a Manger? (repost)
