TABERNACLE KEYS OF REVIVAL<br />

We see the Spirit <strong>of</strong> Elijah resting on John the Baptist to prepare the way <strong>of</strong><br />

Jesus’ first coming. The first coming <strong>of</strong> the Lord was referred to as the<br />

“great” day <strong>of</strong> his coming. We are also seeing the Spirit <strong>of</strong> Elijah coming<br />

upon the end time church <strong>of</strong> today to prepare for Jesus’ second coming. The<br />

second coming <strong>of</strong> the Lord is referred to as the “dreadful” day <strong>of</strong> the Lord.<br />

When John the Baptist came, he operated in the Spirit <strong>of</strong> Elijah. When the<br />

Holy Spirit is called the Spirit <strong>of</strong> Elijah, it is referring to his nature. We see<br />

him called the “seven Spirits <strong>of</strong> God” in Revelation. He is not seven different<br />

Spirits, but rather the word seven speaks <strong>of</strong> perfection. He is the perfect<br />

Spirit <strong>of</strong> God. He is just as much God as the Father or the Son. We can see<br />

his nature revealed in Isaiah 11:2. The seven attributes <strong>of</strong> the Spirit <strong>of</strong> God<br />

are: wisdom, underst<strong>and</strong>ing, counsel, might, knowledge, reverent obedi­<br />

ence, <strong>and</strong> fear <strong>of</strong> the Lord. When the Holy Spirit comes in all these attributes<br />

at once, thus coming in his fullness, he is referred to as the “Spirit <strong>of</strong> Elijah.”<br />

This type <strong>of</strong> intense anointing came on John the Baptist to usher in the first<br />

coming <strong>of</strong> the Lord, <strong>and</strong> this same intensity <strong>of</strong> anointing will come upon the<br />

Bride <strong>of</strong> Christ to usher in Jesus second coming! Churches that reject God’s<br />

power are rejecting part <strong>of</strong> God. He is supernatural. So it should be common<br />

sense that what he does will be supernatural as well. An unprecedented<br />

anointing will be needed to see the revival we must see in these end times to<br />

bring in the harvest. We can see that Malachi mentioned the Spirit <strong>of</strong> Elijah<br />

in connection with the coming <strong>of</strong> the Lord.<br />

Compromise<br />

Another great hindrance <strong>of</strong> the anointing in churches is compromise toward<br />

sin <strong>and</strong> people not getting along. There are so many Christians that will sit<br />

through church week after week to go home <strong>and</strong> watch things on television<br />

<strong>and</strong> in movies Jesus would never watch! This activity is like a leech that<br />

sucks the anointing right out <strong>of</strong> someone. Churches that have strife or oppo­<br />

sition toward the pastor will never have an anointing! They will not have an­<br />

swers to their prayers either. We can see an emphasis on unity when it<br />

comes to the anointing in Psalm 133 when it reads “How good <strong>and</strong> pleasant<br />

it is when brothers live together in unity! It is like precious oil poured on the<br />

head, running down the beard, running down on Aaron’s beard.” Unity will<br />

release the anointing! This also leads to what covering a church has. We all<br />

need to be submitted to some form <strong>of</strong> authority.<br />

The Holy Spirit is a person<br />

In reality, Jesus is at the Father’s right h<strong>and</strong> right now. So who are we fel­<br />

lowshipping with? The presence <strong>of</strong> God with us right now is the Holy Spirit.<br />

He is a person. The Lampst<strong>and</strong> was made <strong>of</strong> pure gold. Most all other furni­<br />

ture was wood <strong>and</strong> either gold or bronze. The wood speaks <strong>of</strong> humanity. So<br />

in other pieces <strong>of</strong> furniture we can see a mixture <strong>of</strong> humanity with divinity as<br />

we saw in the Table. But the Lampst<strong>and</strong> was pure gold showing that it is all<br />
