As believers in Christ we love God, pursue Him, seek to know Him, desire to experience Him in a deeper way, and care more for His interests than for our need. The more time we spend with God, the more we enjoy and experience Christ as the reality of all the furnishings in the tabernacle, […]
At the Incense Altar we Pray for the Formation of an Army to Fight for God’s Interest
There is a spiritual relationship between the incense altar (Exo. 30:1-10) and the formation of an army (vv. 11-16). Actually, all throughout Exodus we see that God considers His people as “His armies”: He said He will bring them out according to their armies (Exo. 6:26), and “bring forth My armies, my people” (7:4), “On this […]
God’s Intention is to have a People Formed into an Army Fighting for His Interests
In Exodus 30:1-10 we see a revelation of the golden incense altar, and in 11-16 we see something called “the expiation silver”.

The Secret of our Functioning as Priests is being Washed by the Life-Giving Spirit
The tabernacle with all its furnishings and utensils in the book of Exodus is a type of the experiences of Christ that we need for the building up of the church as the building of God, God’s habitation on earth. Christ is everything to God and man, and He is the reality of each and […]
Being Reduced to Nothing to Pray at the Incense Altar for God’s Move and Dispensing
This week in our crystallization-study of Exodus we enjoyed in a deeper way a particular kind of prayer – not the general prayer, the petition, the questioning, the breathing, or the praising and thanking, but the interceding prayer, the interceding Christ as typified by the golden incense altar in the Holy Place in the tabernacle.
