The Ark of the Covenant
The
Ark of the Covenant in the Old Testament was a type of the New Testament
believer. In the ark there were three things. 1. The Hidden Manna. 2. Aaron’s
rod that budded. 3 The Tables of Stone.
Rev 2:17 17 He that hath an ear, let him
hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give
to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a
new name written, which no man knoweth
saving he that receiveth it.
Most of us do not really realize that within us is
the reality of these three aspects of life. The Hidden Manna represents the
deep hidden experiences we have in a close relationship with our inner being,
Christ within us. The Lord will reveal things to you that you do not talk
about, mainly because most would not understand what you experience. You will
experience things that will be unbelievable to those who have not experienced
them. Some of these things are now being written about because we are now
beginning to enter a Golden Age of the Kingdom being established on the earth.
The Christian who does not have a relationship with the Lord within will think
what is being revealed today is a false new age teaching.
Eph 2:6 6 And
hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in
Christ Jesus:
Aaron’s Rod that budded represents the resurrection
life of Christ within us. Once you begin to touch this resurrection life of
Christ within you, you begin to live above the circumstances of life that come
to you. You then begin to live a joyous life above the law of sin and death. No
longer do the bondages of religion hold you captive to carnal doctrines of men
who divide the Body of Christ.
In the Ark of the Covenant were the tables of stone representing
the regulating law of God’s life within us. The 10
commandments are not to be taken as outward rules and regulations but as the
inner life law of our being that flows from within us. Most of us have been
failures for years in manifesting Christ to the world because we have not
learned to live by His Life. The regulating, resurrection, transcendent life
law resides on the insides of our being. This life reproduces Christ within us
to bring reconciliation to the world.
We
have settled for forms, laws, regulations and ceremony for many years while the
temple of God has been covered over with these things, however today the
building, the Temple made without hands is being raised up within us.
