Series: Tabernacle Prayer

Exodus 25, Psalm 66:16-19
CONTEXT: Moses had led God's people out of Egypt, through the Red Sea, ul-timately to meet with God at Mount Sinai. It was there that God gave Moses the law. And it was there that God instructed Moses to construct a portable temple called, ''The Tabernacle''. God's instructions were very specific.
TEXT: Exodus 25:8-9 (ESV)
8 And let them make me a sanctuary, that I may dwell in their midst. 9 Exactly as I show you concerning the pattern of the tabernacle, and of all its furniture, so you shall make it.
The Tabernacle had to be built to God's exact pattern, because it was to serve as a pattern of approach. It was to teach the people how they were to approach God. The Priest had very specific instructions he was to follow in order to go before God on behalf of the people. So Moses wasn't to innovate, he was to obey. He was to build exactly as God had said.
The Tabernacle consisted of 3 parts:
The Outer Court - Pointed to God the Son
The Brazen Altar - where sacrifices were made
The Laver - where washing took place symbolizing the appropriation of grace.
The Holy Space - Pointed to God the Holy Spirit
The Candlestick
Table of Shewbread - Pointed to the Word of God
The Alter of Incense - Symbolic of our Worship
The Holy of Holies - Pointed to God the Father
Ark of the Covenant -
it was the Ark that went before the army in battle
The Ark contained the Law of God within and the Mercy Seat without so it was there that peace with the Father was represented and it was because of what that Ark pointed to that man could approach God with the needs of his life.
Now what is the Tabernacle or Temple in the New Testament? YOU ARE. Who are the Priest of God in the New Testament - YOU ARE.
Over the Next 6 weeks I want to show you how following the pattern laid out by the tabernacle can revolutionize your prayer life.
