The Temple of Moses gives
us wonderful insight to the reality of Christ and what He fulfilled in the
natural. However we must also look at
the realities brought to view in our own lives, too.
One thing, which has stood
out to me, was the Brazen Altar. This is where the sacrificial offering was
place, and given to God as a symbol of something in us dying to further
complete His will in us and in the earth and not our own. The sacrifice was living, and tied to the Altar,
so even if it want to move, it could not.
How does this relate to us
in our lives now? We don’t have an altar to be tied to? Or do we? The Bible
tells us to. “Present yourselves a Living Sacrifice, Holy and acceptable unto
God which is our reasonable service” Romans 12. You know those things in your
life, which bring you to a total stand still, and grieves you to your very
soul? You know that child you just cant seem to get through too, or that
marriage you are sick of, or that job you don’t want to go too? You prayed and
prayed for a release on these things. You have plead the blood, tried casting
out demons, poured oil, and it still wont get better. Its not a demon holding
you to this, its God, tying you to His Altar and asking you to be a living
sacrifice, holy and acceptable unto Him, our reasonable service.
Today, instead of kicking
and fighting to get away from your “altar”, why not fully submit to the will of
God, and watch the sweet savor of His glory ascend from the depths of your
soul?
