TO GET THE MOST OUT OF
THIS “JOURNEY”
“U” MUST BE SPIRITUALLY
PREPARED
Tabernacle With us “LORD”
Desire, it is a dainty word! It were
much that He should satisfy the need,
the want; but He goeth far beyond
that. Pity is moved to meet our need;
duty may sometimes look after our
wants; but to satisfy the desire implies a tender watchfulness, a sweet
and gracious knowledge of us, an
eagerness of blessing.
God is never satisfied until He
has satisfied our desires.
REMEMBER THIS AND LIVE
I WOULD RATHER LIVE
MY LIFE AS IF THERE IS A
GOD, AND DIE TO FIND
OUT THERE ISN’T; THAN
LIVE MY LIFE AS IF
THERE ISN’T, AND DIE TO
FIND OUT THERE IS………

A. The Position of The Altar
Ex. 30:6 “And thou shalt put it before the
vail that is by the ark of the testimony”
1. Having a “Central Focus” relationship with Him!!!
a) The “Embryonic Link” of both altars!
The sacrificial altar out front where
“Christ” died for us, and the closest
altar link for us, when the vail came
down. Be sure and get your “Fire for
Life” from the out front altar sacrifice,
“CHRIST”, and burn your own essence
before God with it so He knows you and
His Son are linked together

You. May my prayer be set before You
like incense; may the lifting up of my
hands be like the evening sacrifice”

our God
Rev. 5:8 “And when He had taken it, the
four living creatures and the twenty
-four elders fell down before the
Lamb. Each one had a harp and they
were holding golden bowls full of

Present your request to God on a
daily & regular bases so He will have

2. Gathering our prayers before
our God
Rev. 8:3,4 “Another angel, who had a
golden censer, came and stood at the
altar. He was given much incense to
offer, with the prayer of all the saints,
on the golden altar before the throne.
The smoke of the incense, together with
the prayer of the saints, went up before
God from the angel’s hand”
Be sure there is enough in the bowls; so
when burned there is enough smoke to
reach God’s nostrils

WHAT IT SAYS
This is my Bible, I am who my Bible say I am,
I can do what my Bible say I can do. I have
what my Bible say I have, my Bible
teaches my spirit, my spirit teaches my
mind, and my mind teaches my body. My
Bible is full of promises and commandments, my Bible has good and bad examples. How do I know my Bible is true? By
comparing scripture with scripture and
spiritual things with spiritual things. I
study my Bible to show myself approved,
rightly dividing the Word of God.
