Pray First: Pt 2 - The Tabernacle Prayer
This powerful teaching invites us into a transformative journey through the ancient Tabernacle, revealing a prayer model that can revolutionize our relationship with God. Drawing from Exodus 25 and the detailed pattern God gave Moses, we discover that the seven stations of the Tabernacle aren't just historical artifacts—they're a living blueprint for encountering God face-to-face. Beginning at the Outer Court where we give thanks, moving past the Brazen Altar where we focus on the cross and remember Christ's sacrifice, then to the Laver where we offer every part of our lives to God, we learn that prayer isn't about religious ritual but about drawing near to the One who loves us. The journey continues through the Candlestick where we invite the Holy Spirit's work, the Table of Shewbread where God's Word becomes fresh bread to our souls, and the Altar of Incense where we worship His name as our strong tower. Finally, at the Ark of the Covenant, we experience what Moses knew—speaking with God face-to-face as a friend speaks to a friend. This isn't just ancient history; it's an invitation to move beyond asking God for things and into interceding for others with the confidence that comes from knowing who we are in Christ. The message challenges us to stop treating prayer as a 30-second ritual and instead embrace it as an ongoing conversation that changes everything.
Let us pray for you:
