Daily Devotional Day 89

The Tabernacle is a picture of the true design of the human being as we were ultimately designed to operate. God will complete and accomplish all He designed us to be. He's coming back for a church without a spot or wrinkle or any such thing. (Ephesians 5)

"Describe the temple to the house of Israel so that they will be ashamed of their sin and let them measure its plan in detail. If they are ashamed of all that they have done make known to them the design of the temple house its layout, its exits, its entrances, all its designs, all its statutes and all its laws. Write it down in their sight so that they may keep its whole design and all its statutes and do them.

This is the law of the temple: its entire area all around on the top of the mountain shall be most holy. Behold this is the law of the Temple. " (Ezekiel 43)

God tells Ezekiel He will dwell in the Temple forever if we repent and keep the Temple laws. The use of the Temple paradigm gives the answers to vital questions. The field of medicine and the Bible are coming closer and closer to an agreement of what is needed to heal the mental and physical elements of the human being. The medical field embraces these concepts but often rejects the basic cure to the problem of the human being because it would have to conform to the biblical standards and laws of operation. The natural man resists these laws.

Many people today resist what these laws represent. They enjoy the natural man and the appetites for sin that the natural man enjoys. The problem is always the flesh or the strength of the flesh. This strength will bring forth sin and the consequences of it.

If we are going to enjoy the life God has for us, if we are going to enjoy the life worth living then we will have to repent, which means to turn around and go in another direction. This is the hard part. However, it is essential to the abundant life we are created to live.

Ask the Holy Spirit to search your heart and mind and reveal to you areas of your life that you need to repent for. Repent for those areas. Ask the Holy Spirit to clean your spirit.
