2010 and the Remnant Church

Joel 2:32 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the

name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem

shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom

the LORD shall call.

When praying for revelation on 2010, I sensed the Lord saying that it was time (not a season) to prepare a place for Him to dwell in the end times.  I also sensed that only a remnant of the Church would press in to accomplish this.

God no longer dwells in temples made with hands. He dwells in the body of Christ, the church.  However, the building of the wilderness tabernacle is a type to teach us what is required spiritually by viewing the natural.

The tabernacle was built from the inside out starting with the Ark of the Covenant in which was the tablets of the law and on top of the ark was the mercy seat.  The body of Christ is now the Ark of the Covenant and we must hide the word of God in our hearts that we might not sin against God. (Psalm 119:11).

We also see the lampstands and the table with the Bread of His Presence.  The lampstands were fueled with oil which represents the anointing of God. The light is the presence of God and the Bread was the bread of His presence.  Jesus is the bread of life and the word of God is called bread.  So again, we must have the word of God, the anointing of God and the presence of God in our lives to be a proper place in which God can dwell.

The entire tabernacle was draped with fine linen and covered with skins.  The skins show sacrifice.  Jesus was the perfect sacrifical 'lamb' for our sins and we must be covered by that sacrifice.  The fine linen is part of a covenant too.  When Jesus was born He was swaddled which is part of a covenant ceremony of salt (Ezekiel 16:4).  When He was buried He was again wrapped in fine linen. 

We are in covenant with God through Christ.  In these end times it will be those who press into the deepness of God who do the best in a difficult world.  We will then be positioned properly to work WITH God and to receive the provision to accomplish His purpose.

You have heard of the army of the Lord.  At PHCC we believe our assembly is to be a special forces unit bring about spiritual realities here on earth.  That's why we worship God in spirit and in truth (John 4). 

God bless you in the new year and may you become even more aware of God and what God wants to accomplish through you.
