The Outer Court The Brazen Altar - The Cross It provides: 1.

The Holy Place The Candlestick The Holy Spirit 1. Pray for the Holy Spirit to teach you, guide you, remind you, empower you and help you. John 16:13 When the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own but will tell you what He has heard. He will tell you about the future.

7 Luke 12:12 For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say. John 14:26 However, the helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything. He will remind you of everything that I have ever told you. Acts 1:8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about Me everywhere 2. The Seven Spirits of the Lord Isaiah 11:2-3 2 And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD; 3 And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the Lord Wisdom Understanding Counsel - meaning careful consideration

That power is the same as the great strength 20 God used to raise Christ from the dead and put Him at His right side in the

Isaiah 48:6 Now I will tell you new things, secrets you have not yet heard. Jeremiah 29:13 When you seek Me in prayer and worship, you will find Me available to you. If you seek Me with all your heart and soul Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Luke 11:9 Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.

10 Altar of Incense - Worship Worship the names of God EL, ELOAH: God Mighty, Strong, Prominent (Genesis 7:1; Isaiah 9:6) - etymologically, El appears to mean power, as in I have the power to harm you (Genesis 31:29). El is associated with other qualities, such as integrity (Numbers 23:19), jealousy (Deuteronomy 5:9), and compassion (Nehemiah 9:31), but the root idea of might remains. Pray for God to be mighty, strong, and prominent in all areas of your life. ELOHIM: God Creator, Mighty and Strong (Genesis 17:7; Jeremiah 31:33) the plural form of Eloah, which accommodates the doctrine of the Trinity. From the Bible s first sentence, the excellent nature of God s power is evident as God (Elohim) speaks the world into existence (Genesis 1:1). The same creative force of God s Word that brought this world into existence is a creating force in your life today.

11 EL SHADDAI: God Almighty, The Mighty One of Jacob The God Who is more than enough (Genesis 49:24; Psalm 132:2,5) - speaks to God s ultimate power over all. ADONAI: Lord (Genesis15:2; Judges 6:15) used in place of YHWH, which was thought by the Jews to be too sacred to be uttered by sinful men. In the Old Testament, YHWH is more often used in God s dealings with His people, while Adonai is used more when He deals with the Gentiles. YHWH / YAHWEH / JEHOVAH: LORD (Deuteronomy 6:4; Daniel 9:14) strictly speaking, the only proper name for God. Translated in English Bibles LORD (all capitals) to distinguish it from Adonai, Lord. The revelation of the name is first given to Moses I Am who I Am (Exodus 3:14). This name specifies an immediacy (meaning: without pause or delay), a presence. Yahweh is present, accessible, near to those who call on Him for deliverance (Psalm 107:13), forgiveness (Psalm 25:11) and guidance (Psalm 31:3).

12 JEHOVAH-JIREH: The Lord Will Provide (Genesis 22:14) the name memorialized by Abraham when God provided the ram to be sacrificed in place of Isaac. Philippians 4:19 But my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. JEHOVAH-RAPHA: The Lord Who Heals (Exodus 15:26) I am Jehovah who heals you both in body and soul. In body, by preserving from and curing diseases, and in soul, by pardoning iniquities. Isaiah 53:5 But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and with His stripes we are healed. 1 Peter 2:24 Who His own self bare our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. Psalm 107:20 He sent His word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.

13 JEHOVAH-NISSI: The Lord Our Banner (Exodus 17:15), where banner is understood to be a rallying place. This name commemorates the desert victory over the Amalekites in Exodus 17. JEHOVAH-M KADDESH: The Lord Who Sanctifies, Makes Holy (Leviticus 20:8; Ezekiel 37:28) God makes it clear that He alone, not the law, can cleanse His people and make them holy. 1 Peter 1:16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy. JEHOVAH-SHALOM: The Lord Our Peace (Judges 6:24) the name given by Gideon to the altar he built after the Angel of the Lord assured him that he would not die as he thought he would after seeing Him. Colossians 3:15 let Christ s peace control you. God has called you into this peace Philippians 4:7 The God s peace, which goes beyond anything we can imagine, will guard your thoughts and emotions through Christ Jesus.

14 John 14:27 I am leaving you with a gift peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don t be troubled or afraid. JEHOVAH-ELOHIM: LORD God (Genesis 2:4; Psalm 59:5) - a combination of God s unique name YHWH Lord, signifying that He is the Lord of Lords. Revelation 17:14 for He is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with Him are called, and chosen, and faithful. Pray: Thank Him that He is King of kings and Lord of lords in your life. JEHOVAH-TSIDKENU: The Lord Our Righteousness (Jeremiah 33:16) As with YHWH-M Kaddesh, it is God alone who provides righteousness to man, ultimately in the person of His Son, Jesus Christ, who became sin for us that we might become the Righteousness of God in Him

15 2 Corinthians 5:21 For He hath made Him to be sin for us, Who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him. JEHOVAH-ROHI: The Lord Our Shepherd (Psalm 23:1) After David pondered his relationship as a shepherd to his sheep, he realized that was exactly the relationship God had with him, and so he declares, Yahweh-Rohi is my Shepherd. Pray: Psalm The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leadeth me beside the still waters. 3. He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name s sake. 4. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for Thou art with me; Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me. 5. Thou prepareth a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. 6. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

16 Thank Him for being your Shepherd and that He watches over you. JEHOVAH-SHAMMAH: The Lord Is There (Ezekiel 48:35) the name ascribed to Jerusalem and the Temple there, indicating that the once-departed glory of the Lord had returned (Ezekiel 44:1-4). Hebrews 13:5 for He hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. JEHOVAH-SABAOTH: The Lord of Hosts (Isaiah 1:24; Psalm 46:7) Hosts means army, both of angels and of men. He is the Lord of the host of heaven and of the inhabitants of the earth, of Jews and Gentiles, of rich and poor, master and slave. The name is expressive of the majesty, power and authority of God, and shows that He is able to accomplish what He determines to do. Pray: For God to accomplish in you His desires and will. EL ELYON: Most High (Deuteronomy 26:19) derived from the Hebrew root for go up or ascend, so the implication is of that which is

17 the very highest. El Elyon denotes exaltation and speaks of absolute right to lordship. PRAY: Thank Him that He is the Most High in your life. EL ROI: God of Seeing (Genesis 16:13) the name ascribed to God by Hagar, alone and desperate in the wilderness after being driven out by Sarah (Genesis 16:1-14). When Hagar met the Angel of the Lord, she realized she had seen God Himself in a theophany meaning: a manifestation or appearance of God. She also realized that El Roi saw her in her distress and testified that He is a God who lives and sees all. Pray: Thank Him that He sees you where you are and sees what you stand in need of. EL-OLAM: Everlasting God (Psalm 90:1-3) God s nature is without beginning or end, free from all constraints of time, and He contains within Himself the very cause of time itself. From everlasting to everlasting, You are God. Pray: Thank Him that He is the Everlasting God of your life.

18 EL-GIBHOR: Mighty God (Isaiah 9:6) the name describing the Messiah, Christ Jesus, in this prophetic portion of Isaiah. As a powerful and mighty warrior, the Messiah, the Mighty God, will accomplish the destruction of God s enemies and rule with a rod of iron. (Revelation 19:15).
