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………

Now Is The Time To Kill The “SIN”
Within!!
When We Enter In; It’s Best To Put off
The Unclean And Purify Ourselves
For Service
I. The Killing Place
A. The “Altar”
Like the Tabernacle; God is still being
particular about how & what is made…
Ex. 27:8 “…as it was shewed thee in the
mount, so shall they make it”

The Killing Place
A. The “Altar”
1. Continued Use
a) The High Priest entered the “Holy
of Holies” once a year; for the
People’s Atonement
b) The remaining priest morning &
evening
c) But the people (us, the Called
Out) it was a daily trek to the
altar to give “Sacrifices”
The best you can give on a daily bases is…
—YOURSELF—
It’s the only way you can approach!!!

2. What’s Important for Growth…
1 Corin. 2:2 “For I resolve to know nothing while I was
with you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified”
a) Know this: to be effective as a church body
the true gospel must be preached & taught…
and that gospel is the “Bloody Cross”
b) How to perform the act..
Ex. 29:10-12 “Bring the bull to the front of the
Tent of Meeting, and Aaron and his sons shall
lay their hands on its head. Slaughter it in the
Lord’s presence at the entrance to the Tent
of Meeting. Take some of the bull’s blood and
put it on the horns of the altar with your
finger, and pour out the rest of it at the base
of the altar”

b) How to perform the act..
Lev. 8:15 “Moses slaughtered the bull and
took some of the blood, and with his
finger he put it on all the horns of the
altar to purify the altar. He poured out
the rest of the blood at the base of the
altar. So he consecrated it to make
atonement for it”
The altar, each time, had to be cleansed
for use thus: the consecration or cleaning
(purifying). It also set Israel apart from
the other pagan rituals

c) Cleaning Up Afterward..
Num. 4:13-15 “They are to remove the ashes from
the bronze altar and spread a purple cloth
over it. Then thy are to place on it all the
utensils…After Aaron and his sons have
finished covering the holy furnishing…, the
Kohathites are to come to do the carrying…
The Kohathites are to carry those thing that
are in the Tent of Meeting”
The Poles were for the use of the “Clan
Kohath”. They were to use them to pickup and
carry all that was used at the altar without
touching any item, for penalty of death

B. The “Accessories” (Ex. 27:3)
“And thou shalt make his pans to receive his
ashes, and his shovels, and his basons, and
his fleshhooks, and his firepans: all the
vessels thereof shalt thou make of brass”
1. Not doing it the right way…Lev. 10:1-3
“Aaron’s sons Nadab and Abihu took their
censors, put fire in them and added incense;
and they offered unauthorized fire before
the Lord, contrary to His command…, and
they died before the Lord. This is what the
Lord spoke of when He said…‘I will be
honored’”
When God’s instructions are not followed to
the letter; the consequences are deadly!!!

2. What is represented in the shedding
of “Blood”
Lev. 17:11 “For the life of a creature is in
the blood, and I have given it to you to
make atonement for yourself on the
altar; it is the blood that make
atonement for one’s life”
The death of the animal (of which the
blood was proof) fulfilled the penalty
of death. God therefore granted forgiveness to the sinner. It is God who
for- gives based on the faith of the
person doing the sacrificing

2. What is represented in the shedding
of “Blood”
Heb. 9:22 “In fact, the law requires that
nearly everything be cleansed with
blood, and without the shedding of
blood there is no forgiveness”
There is no greater symbol of life than
blood; blood keeps us alive, Jesus shed
His blood—gave His life—for our sins so
that we wouldn’t have to experience
spiritual death, eternal separation
from God

B. The “Application”
1. The heartbreak of those that do not
understand, that it takes sacrifice
to know God
(Both Those In & Out Of The Church)
2. Worship would surely be truer and
spiritual if we were to be subject as
were the Israelites
3. God’s availability at all times…
Lev. 6:12,13 “The fire on the altar must be kept burning; it
must not go out. Every morning the priest is to add
firewood and arrange the burnt offering on the fire
and burn the fat of the fellowship offering on it. The
fire must be kept burning on the altar continuously; it
must not go out”

3. God’s availability at all times…
a) His Faithfulness to Forgive…
1 john 1:9 “if we confess our sins, he is
faithful and just and will forgive
us our sins and purify us from all
unrighteousness”
In spite of our continuing desire to
turn from His ways; he has assured
us that if our hearts are truly
repentant; He will forgive our sins

!!How To Make It Right!!
For me the altar is where I need to find
myself each and everyday; so that I can be
right in my approach to Him. I realize that
sacrifice is what I must do and understand, to be effective in my living to
please Him. I’ve also come to grips with
the fact that, the “Blood,” shed then
(O.T.), is what prepared the way for the
coming Christ. So now I have to be a “living
Sacrifice;” Holy and Acceptable!!
!!It’s My Reasonable Service!!

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.
