A sure thing in an unsure world!

New Posting!!!!!!! A letter worth sharing!

Dear Milford, 

It's an uncertain world out there. Maybe you're struggling and scared and wondering what's next.

But here's a sure thing you can hold onto...

God never changes (Hebrews 13:8). The spiritual truths God gave His people thousands of years ago never change--they are as meaningful and as powerful as ever!

In Exodus 25 God provided a blueprint to build a Tabernacle--a "Tent of Meeting" --so His people could enter His presence to thank Him, praise Him and behold His glory.

The way to get what you need is by placing yourself in God's presence. His presence provides thesupernatural power in our lives! 

You can celebrate God's presence and thank Him with your sacrificial gift toward the ministry of Breakthrough and "prove God now herewith," and see if the Lord won't open the windows of Heaven on your behalf (see Malachi 3:10). The Feast of Tabernacles is the last celebration of the year when a sacrificial offering is given as a memorial unto the Lord.

Together, let's dedicate ourselves to walking in the presence of the Lord.

When the Israelites sought the presence of God, they found it in The Holy of Holies, the most sacred chamber of the Tabernacle. Let me unlock its mysteries so you understand the importance of its ancient truths in your life today...

The Holy of Holies is at the center of the Tabernacle. God desires to be at the center of our lives! This room holds The Ark of the Covenant, which represents Jesus Christ.

In accordance with God's instructions in Exodus 25:10-11, the Ark is built of wood, representing Jesus Christ's humanity, and overlaid with pure gold--His divinity. Inside the Ark are three items:

  • Aaron's rod signifies the resurrection power of Jesus Christ...for your marriage, your relationships and your bank account. Nothing is beyond the resurrection power of Jesus Christ!
  • The stone tablets of the Ten Commandments represent the Living Word--Jesus Christ.Does the Word of God have a place in the center of your life?
  • The jar of manna symbolizes God's provision and Jesus Christ, the Bread of Life, who says, "I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never go hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty" (John 6:35, NIV).
The Ark of the Covenant sits directly beneath two cherubim that look down on the Mercy Seat, where the blood of the sacrifice was sprinkled for the sins of the people. The blood that Jesus Christ shed cancels your sin and gives you eternal life!

Do you need God's power in your life? Then come into His presence...it never changes! I believe entering God's presence is so important. Will you thank Him with your sacrificial gift for the Feast of Tabernacles?

In Christ,
