  Exodus chapter 40, let us pray, our Father who's in heaven.
• 0:06
  We thank you, God, for another day to come and to worship you
• 0:10
  in spirit of truth. We thank you, God, for waking us
• 0:13
  up and putting us on our feet. We thank you for giving us
• 0:16
  another opportunity to come and to know you and to be known by
• 0:20
  you, God. We surrender all, Lord.
• 0:24
  We give it all up, Lord. We admit that we need you, Lord.
• 0:30
  We admit, God that you are the greatest and the loftiest.
• 0:34
  Lord, it's not about money. It's not about reputation.
• 0:39
  It's not about vanity and pride and arrogance.
• 0:42
  God, we lay it all down. God, our own self seeking will,
• 0:47
  our own self preservation, God, our hopes, our dreams, our
• 0:51
  desires. God, we lay it all down.
• 0:57
  Security, we lay it down. God, fear and anxiety, we lay it
• 1:03
  down. We step into the heavenly
• 1:08
  reality. God, that you're moving all
• 1:10
  around us. God, you are for us and not
• 1:14
  against us. We are more than conquerors in
• 1:17
  Christ Jesus. We have the indwelling of the
• 1:21
  Holy Spirit. We are marked by you, Lord, Let
• 1:27
  us walk in the bridal identity today.
• 1:32
  Holy Spirit, teach us and guide us and show us.
• 1:37
  Illuminate the text today. Let it jump off the page today.
• 1:43
  Let it become alive and active today.
• 1:47
  Jesus, you're the only one worth living for, and we love you.
• 1:50
  And it's in your name that we pray.
• 1:52
  Amen. Let's start in verse one.
• 1:58
  And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 On the first day of
• 2:04
  the first month shall you set up the Tabernacle of the tent of
• 2:08
  the congregation? 3 And you shall put therein the
• 2:12
  ark of the testimony, and a cover the ark with the veil. 4
• 2:19
  And you shall bring in the table, and set in order the
• 2:22
  things that are to be set in order upon it.
• 2:25
  And you shall bring in the Candlestick, and light the lamps
• 2:29
  of him. And you shall set the altar of
• 2:31
  gold for the incense before the ark of the testimony, and put
• 2:35
  the hanging of the door of the Tabernacle. 6 And you shall set
• 2:39
  the altar of the burnt offering before the door of the
• 2:42
  Tabernacle of the tent of the congregation. 7 And you shall
• 2:47
  set the lava between the tent and the congregation, and the
• 2:50
  altar, and shall put water in it. 8 And you shall set up the
• 2:55
  court round and about, and hang up the hanging at the court
• 2:59
  gate. 9 And you shall take the anointing oil, and anoint the
• 3:03
  Tabernacle, and all that is in it, and shall hallow it, and all
• 3:08
  the vessels of it, and it shall be holy.
• 3:11
  Can you see it, friends? Can you see all the materials
• 3:15
  have been built, and they're laying there?
• 3:19
  And God goes and tells Moses exactly when he was to do it,
• 3:25
  and how he was to do it, and set it up so that it would mirror
• 3:30
  what was happening in heaven. 11 And you shall anoint the lava in
• 3:39
  his foot, and sanctify it. 10 And you shall anoint the altar
• 3:44
  of the point of the burnt offerings in his vessels, and
• 3:47
  sanctify the altar, and it shall be an altar most holy. 11 And
• 3:52
  you shall anoint the lover of his foot and sanctify it. 12 And
• 3:56
  you shall bring Aaron and his sons to the door of the
• 3:58
  Tabernacle of the congregation, and wash them with water.
• 4:03
  So here Aaron and his sons are to go to the door of the
• 4:06
  Tabernacle, and Moses was going to wash them clean and purify
• 4:11
  them. And this was a ceremony that was
• 4:15
  meant to set them apart. 13 And you shall put upon Aaron the
• 4:20
  holy garments, and anoint him, sanctify him, that he may
• 4:25
  minister unto me in the priest's office.
• 4:27
  So here Aaron is, he doesn't put on his own garments.
• 4:30
  Moses puts them on for him. And we don't put on our own
• 4:34
  garments, but Jesus clothes us with his righteousness. 14 And
• 4:39
  you shall bring his sons, and clothe them with coats. 15 And
• 4:43
  you shall anoint them as you did anoint their father, that they
• 4:47
  may minister unto me in the priest's office.
• 4:50
  For their anointing shall surely be an everlasting priesthood
• 4:53
  throughout their generation. 16 Thus did Moses, according to all
• 4:57
  the Lord commanded him. So he did.
• 5:00
  One of the greatest verses is when we see somebody do exactly
• 5:05
  what God tells them to do, and they don't try to do it their
• 5:08
  own way. 17 And it came to pass in the first month, in the
• 5:12
  second year, on the first day of the month, that the Tabernacle
• 5:16
  was reared up. So this marked the one year
• 5:19
  anniversary of them being LED out of slavery and captivity in
• 5:25
  bondage. Friends, this was exactly 1 year
• 5:30
  later. 18 And Moses reared up the Tabernacle, and fastened his
• 5:35
  sockets and the boards of it, and put the bars of it, and
• 5:39
  reared up the pillars. 19 And he spread abroad the tent of the
• 5:43
  Tabernacle, and put the covering of the tent above upon it, as
• 5:47
  the Lord commanded Moses. 20 And he took and put the testimony
• 5:51
  into the ark, and set the Staffs on the ark, and put the mercy
• 5:55
  seat above upon the ark. 21 And he brought the ark into the
• 5:59
  Tabernacle, and set up the veil of the covering, and covered the
• 6:03
  ark of the testimony, as the Lord commanded Moses. 22 And he
• 6:07
  put the table in the tent of the congregation upon the side of
• 6:11
  the Tabernacle northward, outside the veil.
• 6:15
  And he set the bread, and ordered upon it before the Lord,
• 6:18
  as the Lord had commanded Moses. 24 And he put the Candlestick in
• 6:22
  the tent of the congregation over and against the table on
• 6:26
  the side of the Tabernacle southward. 25 And he lit the
• 6:30
  lamps before the Lord, as the Lord commanded Moses, and he put
• 6:34
  the golden altar and the tent of the congregation before the
• 6:38
  veil. 27 And he burnt sweet incense on it, as the Lord had
• 6:44
  commanded Moses. 28 And he set up the hanging of the door of
• 6:48
  the Tabernacle. 29 And he put the altar of burnt offering by
• 6:51
  the door of the Tabernacle of the tent of the congregation,
• 6:55
  and offered up upon it the burnt offering and the meat offering,
• 6:59
  as the Lord commanded Moses. 30 And he set the lava between the
• 7:03
  tent of the congregation of the altar, and put water there to
• 7:06
  wash with all. 31 And Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their
• 7:11
  hands and their feet there at 32 when they went into the tent of
• 7:16
  the congregation, and when they came near to the altar, they
• 7:19
  washed as the Lord commanded Moses.
• 7:22
  They got to get all of the world off of them, friends.
• 7:25
  They got to get purified and cleansed before they stand
• 7:28
  before a holy God. And you and I must do the same.
• 7:31
  We cannot come to God dirty and stained.
• 7:34
  We come to God washed in the blood of the Lamb of Jesus
• 7:38
  Christ, in the water that poured out of His side.
• 7:41
  Friends, far be it from us to offer strange fire unto God,
• 7:46
  intermingle the world in with the holy things. 33 And he
• 7:52
  reared up the court round and about the Tabernacle of the
• 7:55
  altar, and set up the hanging of the court gate.
• 7:58
  So Moses finished the work. It is finished.
• 8:01
  They finally got it. Friends 34 Then a cloud covered
• 8:06
  the tent of the congregation, and the glory of the Lord filled
• 8:13
  the Tabernacle. This is the Shekinah glory of
• 8:19
  God. We see it again later whenever
• 8:23
  Solomon dedicates the temple. We see this, and I pray that
• 8:29
  you've experienced it. Friends, this is not a feeling
• 8:33
  or an emotion. This is the reality of what God
• 8:35
  desires to do for you and for me and for us as a church.
• 8:42
  He wants to so overwhelm you with His presence that you're
• 8:45
  not even able to minister or speak.
• 8:50
  This is where we know that we know that we know that we know
• 8:53
  that we know that we know that God is real.
• 8:57
  When He is pleased to pour out His Spirit upon mankind.
• 9:01
  You'll never be the same again. There's no going back.
• 9:09
  And far be it from us to try to manufacture this moment.
• 9:15
  It does not work that way. All we can do is set the stage,
• 9:21
  but God is the one who has to choose to come. 35 And Moses was
• 9:29
  not able to enter to the tent of the congregation because the
• 9:33
  cloud abode there, and the glory of the Lord filled the
• 9:37
  Tabernacle. It's all-encompassing.
• 9:43
  It overrides all your senses. You can't even speak. 36 And
• 9:49
  when the cloud was taken up from over the Tabernacle, the
• 9:52
  children of Israel went onward in all their journeys. 37 But if
• 9:57
  the cloud were not taken up, then they journeyed not till the
• 10:01
  day that it was taken up. 38 will end here.
• 10:05
  For the cloud of the Lord was upon the Tabernacle by day, and
• 10:10
  fire was on it by night, and the sight of all the House of Israel
• 10:14
  throughout all their journey. Can you see it, friends?
• 10:17
  Do you see this whole scene getting played out?
• 10:20
  Can you see the Shekinah glory of God resting upon that place?
• 10:26
  And He wants to do the same for you, Friends, it takes the
• 10:32
  consecrating of the temple for Him to come.
• 10:37
  You cannot have it both ways. You cannot have the world and
• 10:43
  mix God in. You must choose.
• 10:45
  You must choose today whom you will serve.
• 10:50
  Far be it from us to be lukewarm and vomited out of His mouth.
• 10:55
  Choose to be either ice cold or hot.
• 11:06
  Too many people have watered down the gospel.
• 11:09
  Too many people are trying to have this world and mix God in
• 11:14
  and He will not come until you finally learn what consecration
• 11:20
  really means. Get rid of all of the evil in
• 11:24
  your life, all the thoughts, all the material, every single thing
• 11:31
  that drags you away. I pray that conviction rises in
• 11:35
  your life. I pray that you actually have a
• 11:39
  correct interpretation of Scripture.
• 11:43
  I pray that we're not playing games with God and we desire for
• 11:49
  the manifest presence of God to come and to wreck us, to ravage
• 11:53
  us, to overwhelm us with His presence and fuel us for what is
• 12:00
  to come. Hope you've been blessed by this
• 12:03
  amazing chapter in God's Word. I've had a lot of fun going
• 12:08
  through the book of Exodus. I pray that you have start
• 12:13
  Leviticus tomorrow. I'm praying for you.
• 12:16
  I love you. We'll see you back here
• 12:17
  tomorrow. God bless you.
