The Holy Place

Whereas the Outer Court dealt with the stripping away of all that was obviously of the world and it's ways from your life, according to that which can be plainly seen and made known through the Scriptures, the Holy Place begins to deal with only those things that can be seen through the light and power of the Holy Spirit within you.

The Holy Place contains within it the full representation of the Ten Commandments of God: Commandments 4 to 10 as represented through the Menorah, commandments 2 and 3 in the Table of Presence, and the foremost one of all, through the altar of prayer.

It is here that the Holy Spirit begins the work of sanctification in your life, applying the scriptures to cleanse and purify and restore your soul from all the ravages that the consequences of your sins, and the sins of others, and the previous generations have made upon it, as well as those which you yourself have committed upon others. Here is is where He begins to wipe away your tears, by restoring life to those areas of your soul that have been destroyed and made desolate by these rebellions and transgressions, and it is here that you learn the truths concerning repentance, forgiveness and the power of agreement, good and bad.

This is where you learn to discern the spirit of truth from the spirit of error, that which is from your heart and that which is from your belly and where you are taught and brought to know who it is that you are really listening to and what it is that you are really obeying. It is where the prophets that are true are separated from those that are false and where your witness and testimony of Christ becomes a manifest reality, not an outward show.

The work that takes place in the Holy Place will enable you to escape the many pits and snares of false teachings that have overwhelmed the Body at this present hour. They are those that appear to be sound, and pleasant and fair to the ears and the desire of men, but hidden within are the cords and snares that will deliver your soul unto death.

The Table of Presence represents for the most part, an untapped power that has been given us through the Communion or Eucharist, if we would but understand it as we ought. It is our unworthy partaking, a partaking without knowledge nor understanding that has left us sickly and weak, in body and in faith.

Finally, the Holy Place is where you learn how to pray, and what it is that you ought to pray for, according to your willingness to understand the truths being shown to you by the Holy Spirit, to do them, and your worthy partaking of the Table of Presence. God gives His grace to the humble, and to him who has, more will be given.

The Holy Place is where the reality of the cross is ministered to your life by the Holy Spirit, that you might be conformed to the likeness of Christ, and come forth of a purified faith, perfected in the love of God. The root issue is truth. Just as the Garden of God had two trees, so too do you. One must die, one must be mortified. The Holy Place and how you deal with God in it will determine which one it will be.

In short, the Holy Place is the separating and dividing asunder of two ways: those which are yours from those which are God's. Which one you cleave to will determine your standing as servant or son, priest or sorcerer, and will be the determining factor of which side of the gates of the Holy City of God you will stand on for all eternity.

If any man will come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for My sake, the same shall save it. For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away? For whosoever shall be ashamed of Me and of My words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when He shall come in His own glory, and in the Father's, and of the holy angels. [Luke 9:23-26]
