THE DOOR TO HIS PRESCENCE

THE DOOR TO HIS PRESCENCE
Scriptures: Exodus 26:36-37, Exodus 36:37-38
Topic: The Door to His Presence

"And thou shalt make an hanging for THE DOOR OF THE TENT, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, wrought with needlework. And thou shalt make for the hanging five pillars of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold, and their hooks shall be of gold: and thou shalt cast five sockets of brass for them."
Exodus 26:36-37

"And he made an hanging for THE TABERNACLE DOOR of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, of needlework; and the five pillars of it with their hooks: and he overlaid their chapiters and their fillets with gold: but their five sockets were of brass."
Exodus 36:37-38

There was a five-pillar door to the inner tent.  This door was actually another colourful curtain hanging on five pillars.  Going through this door would lead you straight to the Holy Place.  What does this mean?  Through Jesus, the gate, we come to the presence of God.  But yet, there is another door through which we can go deeper.  What does this second colourful curtain entrance represent?  

I believe that the five pillars represent the five-fold ministry.  Today, it is the five-fold ministry that brings you near to God.  Through apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers and evangelists, multitudes are brought close to God.  He gave these gifts to men until we all come close to God.  He gave these gifts to men until we all are so close to the Lord and are united with Him.  He gave these gifts to men until we all become like Jesus.  

"And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:  Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:"
Ephesians 4:11-13

Over the years, I notice that people do not become close to God until they accept apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers and evangelists. They are doors for you!   I have become closer to God by accepting great prophets like Kenneth Hagin into my life. I have become close to God by accepting great pastors like Yonggi Cho into my life.  He was a door for me to get closer to God.

Those who are too stiff to accept to go through these doors will never experience a certain level of the presence of God.  You cannot go far without true apostles and prophets. You will not get far without a pastor, a teacher or an evangelist.  I would not be where I am today without wonderful teachers like Kenneth Hagin and Derek Prince.  I would not be where I am today without wonderful evangelists like Reinhard Bonnke or Benny Hinn. Through such people, you can get closer to God. 

Some people will say, “Do not trust a man.”  They will say, “Be careful of these money-grabbing men of God.”  What is actually happening is that you are being driven away from the five-pillared door to the presence of God.  It is time to go through the five-pillared door into the Holy Place!  


It is time to receive your apostle, prophet and pastor so that you can be near to God. There is much more to the Lord than you are experiencing now. If you are not tired of learning, you will not be tired of rising into higher heights!

    This is a great revelation! Jesus is the door yes, but there is Another door through which we can go deeper, and this door is the five fold ministry.

REASONS WHY YOU MUST REDEEM THE TIME - PART 4

Scripture: Psalm 90:9-12 Topic: You must redeem the time because that is the only wise thing to do with your life. Unfortunately, many people do not treat time and opportunity as a special commodity. Time is something rare and precious, which God gives to all of us. It is the only thing you cannot regain or get back. When it is gone, it is gone forever. God’s admonition to us is to use the time we have on earth to do as much for Him as possible. We must work while it is day. The only wise thing to do with your life is to redeem the time for the work of the Lord. "For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told. The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.  Who knoweth the power of thine anger? Even according to thy fear, so is thy wrath. So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts un...

THE POWER OF BEING THANKFUL - PART 6

Scripture : Romans 1:21 Topic : Unthankfulness in a person is a door to many evils.  "Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, NEITHER WERE THANKFUL; BUT BECAME VAIN IN THEIR IMAGINATIONS, AND THEIR FOOLISH HEART WAS DARKENED..."  Romans 1:21 The scripture above shows us clearly that many of the evils and perversions in this world came through unthankfulness. When men discovered more about the creation and discovered the beautiful earth that God had made, they were not thankful.  When they discovered planets, when they discovered the moon and when they discovered the stars, they were not thankful to God. And because they were unthankful, they became vain in their imaginations. Your imaginations become more vain, the more unthankful you are.  When people are unthankful they become almost mad. Their unthankfulness is a form of insanity. Why would you not be grateful for the oxygen you breathe, the air you breathe, the water you drink, the life t...

WHY PRAYER IS MYSTERIOUS PART 3.

WHY PRAYER IS MYSTERIOUS PART 3.  Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 5:17.  Topic: Why Prayer is Mysterious Part 3.  Prayer is mysterious because God is mysterious! God is mysterious and there is nothing we can do about it! If you think you will ever know everything about God then you must think again! God is not a man and we cannot know everything about Him. It is precisely because of the mysteries surrounding God that a lot of people do not pray.  In this series of our quiet time we will see the mysteries surrounding prayer and we will learn that these mysteries should not keep us from prayer but rather draw us closer in search of answers. 3. Mysteriously, God seems to want us to keep asking about the same things even though we have asked Him before.  "Pray without ceasing." 1 Thessalonians 5:17  If God did not know about our problems on the first day, He must know our problems and our needs by the third day of our prayer. If He knows all things so well, why does...
