“DISOVERING THE KINGDOM OF GOD WITHIN YOU 11.22.2017 SPIRITUAL ORDER I Corinthians 12:28 IS THIS GOD’S KINGDOM Bible Study: The definition of altar in Hebrew is mizbeach orחבּזמ the PLACE of slaughter or sacrifice. It’s a place where something dies in order that spiritual life can occur. Often times we think sacrifice is giving up something in our Western way of thought but it really means doing something to get closer to God. There were three types of altars in the Bible, the stone altar the brazen altar and the golden altar of incense. Each altar , each sacrifice is a progressive step closer to the will of God for your life. These Old Testament altars represent a sacrifice today that every Christian must make to get closer to God. However, at every altar there was satanic battle to stop the will of God from being accomplished. How far have you gone in your sacrifice ? How far will you go to get closer to God? To make a sacrifice is to reap a spiritual reward! The Stone Altar: This is altar is a place of personal conflict and decision. Often times this conflict or decision is about some truth of God’s character or nature. In other words, your plan dies that God’s will may be accomplished. No iron tools were permitted to be used in constructing this altar or it would be polluted. This meant that His truth could not be altered to fit the will of man. In most instances the Altar was named in remembrance of the decision or conflict.
“DISOVERING THE KINGDOM OF GOD WITHIN YOU” 11.22.2017 The Golden Altar of Incense: This is the altar that was closest to the Holy of Holies in the temple. It represent prayers and praise going up to God on continual basis. Prayer is the key to entering into God’s presence. No blood could be offered on this altar just incense. This is the altar that is most misunderstood and where the greatest battle takes place. Even Jesus our Lord and savior had to battle at these three altars. The Garden of Gethsemane at the rock of agony, his place of prayer in the garden, and the cross. Each time he was victorious despite the struggle. Each sacrifice resulted in a great reward. Will you lay your life at the altar to receive a greater reward? Yahweh-jireh - the LORD will see to it (provide) הארי הוהי Yahweh-nissi -the LORD is my banner (protector) יסּנ הוהי Yahweh-shalom - the LORD is peace (security) םולשׁ הוהי The Brazen Altar: This altar was the place of animal sacrifice at the Temple on Jerusalem. Anyone could make a sacrifice at the stone altar. However, only priests could sacrifice at the brazen altar. This is also the only place at the temple where the priests and the people met. You enter your priesthood or ministry when you die to your flesh because you cannot effectively serve God in your flesh. Scriptures: Exodus 20:24-25 Genesis 22:14 Exodus 20:24-25 Exodus 27:1-3 Exodus 30:1 –9 Exodus 17:15 Judges 6:23-24 Romans 12:1 Matthew 16:18 Zechariah 3:1-9 1 Thessalonians 5:17 Ecc 3:15 That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past. Because Of Our Lord Jesus Christ! Apostle Gary Carter, Jr.
