Hi Pastor John!
Jesus showed me something wonderful this morning. I woke up full from last night’s meeting. As I was getting ready I found your testimony, “The Sacrifice of Christ.” It struck my heart when you talked about knowing that the directions for the tabernacle were valuable and about stopping every hour to get on your face and seek God. I left for work feeling very touched and stirred.
When I got in the car, I put the July music CD in. When I hit tract 4 Gary started singing “the zeal of Thy house has eaten me up, eaten me up” and the Spirit fell so strong as soon as I heard those words. I couldn’t help but cry out to Jesus and say “Yes Lord yes! That is exactly how I feel, Jesus, and the more hunger for more of you Lord, the more I seek, the hungrier I get!”
Then the spirit said “Yes, like a consuming fire that burns but does not destroy.” Then Jesus showed me that is another heavenly shadow. That is why the burning bush was shown to Moses. God showed Moses a consuming fire because that is what His spirit does inside of us if we seek Him. That burning bush was a heavenly echo of what was to come.
Isn’t that beautiful, Pastor John? I love the Old Testament heavenly shadows of Christ more than I can say in words. Something about them touches the deepest part of my heart.
