Chilly and wet here, our wettest April in 51 years, but was able to enjoy the beauty of GOD’s mountains here yesterday on a hike.  Met nice people from Netherlands and France, awesome! 

Today’s Bible message comes to us from the prophets again, Ezekiel, chapters 43-45….

Write down…so that the faithful…follow….the law of the temple

From the ground to the alter….from lower to upper….the altar is…the step to Me

Sacrifice….offer…sin….who come near….

Blood….of the altar….designated….the sanctuary  (Jesus designated the Sanctuary)

On the day you offer sin….purified….without defect…..before the Lord….

For seven days…..daily a sin offering…..to make atonement….   (recall the 7 days spent between passing thru gateway and entering thru door Gate of Heaven.)

At the end of these days….I will accept you…to the Sanctuary

GOD Himself inside the gateway

The Temple

Listen closely….give attention to everything I tell you

The entrance to the Sanctuary….in addition to all other……you brought in heart….offer to Me….this is what the Sovereign Lord says….(As I have said, let go all things of this world to Him as offering)

Who went far from Me….after their idols….must bear consequences…

The gates of the Temple….those serving them….in the Presence….have sworn….their sin…….to serve Me

I appoint them to guard for the work that is to be done  (Gatekeepers)

They are to stand before Me….they alone are to enter My Sanctuary…to come near My table…to minister before Me…as guards

When they enter the Gates….in the sacred rooms…so that the people are consecrated

They are to teach My people the difference between the holy and the common…between the clean and unclean

They are to keep My laws…..keep My Sabbaths holy

Must not defile themselves….

After cleansed…must wait seven days….to offer sin offering for himself

I AM….the inheritance….they have…….I will be their possession…..

The sin and guilt offerings….will belong to….the Lord

When you are present to the Lord…..you will be holy

For the Sanctuary….is the most Holy Place

It will be a place for their….possession…..the sacred portion….

This is what the Sovereign Lord says….stop dispossessing My people

This special gift you offer….will be….atonement…for the people

*A message for all those of us who are Gatekeepers and send souls to the Light, sounds like…

All things belong to GOD.  All that is, all that ever was.   All your possessions, all that you are belong to Him.  Each day, each moment in time belongs to Him.  Take nothing for granted.  Give thanks for all things.  Slow down your pace of life and get in tune with the Lord.  Giving thanks always helps us to see things through His eyes. 

Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship GOD acceptably with reverence and awe, for our “GOD is an all consuming fire.”….Hebrews 12:28-29

If you find yourself short on something, be it money, time, strength, etc, this is the chance to give over control to Him.  When you feel unable to do what needs to be done, then you focus on the now.  This is exactly what He wants.  Focus on the present, for the past is over and gone and the future is His domain.  Self-sufficiency is a man-made myth.  It is man’s pride and arrogance.  Our health, possessions, success, wealth, etc, can and will disappear in a heartbeat.  None of it can be taken with us.  You can not buy, barter, bribe your way into Heaven. 

Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds…..James 1:2

“My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.”  Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me…..2 Corinthians 12:9

GOD BLESS!  PRAISE JESUS CHRIST!  GOD IS AWESOME!
