Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come.
Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.
Dear Heavenly Father, may Your holy name be glorified, praised, worshiped, exalted, honored, magnified, venerated, sanctified, and revered.
May blessings, praise, wealth, glory, wisdom, thanks, honor, power, and strength be to our Father God who sits on the throne and to the Lamb forever and ever.
Father God Your throne is a place of power, authority, majesty, honor, perfect justice, sovereignty, supremacy, holiness, praise, purity, eternal life, grace, and mercy.
Now Abba Father, I sincerely desire to pray, therefore according to Hebrews 4:16, I come boldly to Your throne of grace in the authority and the power of the name of Jesus, through his shedding blood, forgiven, cleansed, bought, saved, justified, and sanctified by his precious, unblemished blood and by the power of the Holy Spirit.
I am seeking primarily Your face, Your divine presence, Your grace, Your mercy, and Your indispensable anointing.
Hebrews 4:16 – Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
Father God, I cry out for Your anointing now! Anoint and empower me!
Because only by Your anointing which is poured out through Jesus Christ by the Holy Spirit, I can live a holy life.
Only through your anointing, I can carry out Your work according to Your perfect will.
Only through Your anointing can I ever fulfill Your plan for my life.
And only through Your anointing can I ever satisfy Your standard through our Lord Christ Jesus by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Heavenly Father, it’s quite obvious from your Word that whatever task You give someone to accomplish, you always make sure that this individual is endued with your Spirit, so that individual can carry out that task according to Your command.
Only by the power of Your Holy Spirit, I can do Your works. Only by His power, I can achieve things that go way beyond what I could have ever imagined.
It was You who commanded Moses in Exodus 25 to build the tabernacle in the wilderness.
Father God, You dwelt and met Your people there. This tabernacle is an exact physical replica of the eternal, spiritual One that is in Heaven.
The Israelites only worshipped You in that tabernacle. The Tabernacle illustrates Your pattern of worship. It holds the sequence of drawing close to You!
Heavenly Father, I desire that intimacy today.
I thank You for the tabernacle model through Moses, in Jesus, and in Heaven. I thank You for the Courtyard – where the Brazen Altar and the Laver are.
I thank You for the Holy Place – where the Candlesticks are, as well as the Table of Showbread and the Altar of Incense. Moreover, I thank You for the Holy of Holies – where the Arc of the Covenant and Your Mercy Seat reside.
Mercy Seat – On top of the ark was a lid called the mercy seat on which rested the cloud or visible symbol of the divine presence. Here God was supposed to be seated, and from this place He was supposed to dispense mercy to man when the blood of the atonement was sprinkled there.
1 Corinthians 6:19 – Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?
Revelation 5:10 – And have made us kings and priests to our God; And we shall reign on the earth.
Today in the New Covenant through Jesus Christ – according to 1 Corinthians 6:19 my body is the temple of the Holy Spirit.
According to Revelation 5:10, I’ve been made a priest to God by Jesus Christ through the shedding of His blood. Meaning that I am a priest in the temple of the Holy Spirit, my body.
My spirit is as the Holy of Holies. My mind is as the Holy Place. In addition, my physical body is as the Courtyard.
My physical body was crucified with Christ, my mind needs illumination from the Holy Spirit, and my spirit needs to be connected to God who is the source of life.
Come, Lord Jesus! I invite you to do Your works through my spirit, through my mind, and through my body.
I directly worship You, Lord, through the temple of my body, my mind, and my spirit. I am a priest unto God.
Station 1 – The Brazen Altar
“Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise.” (Psalm 100:4) The gate of the tabernacle is symbolic of Jesus Christ who is the way and the truth and the life, in other words; who is the way to Father.
This is how we are to approach God. He wants us to acknowledge and appreciate His goodness and praise Him for it. It is not just, because He wants praise but because, as we are impressed with His goodness, we will be encouraged to seek Him and depend on Him more. It is for our good, not His.
God says He will give us “… the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness …” (Isaiah 61:3) and surely, He has given us many reasons to praise Him. An attitude of gratefulness, thanksgiving, and appreciation for what we have has actually been shown to be good for our health.
Station 2 – The Brazen Altar
In my imagination, I come to the temple of the Holy Ghost my body that Jesus Christ has purchased with His own blood.
I enter through the tabernacle gate, which is symbolic of Jesus. I see the Tabernacle Courtyard in my mind. I see the Brazen Altar.
I remember the different offerings presented at the Brazen Altar: sin, trespass, burnt, thanks, and reconciliation. These foretold of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ at Calvary. I recognize the tremendous cost of sin.
Surely He took up our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered Him punished by God, stricken by Him, and afflicted. But He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on Him, and by His wounds, we are healed. (Isaiah 53:4-5)
Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you. (John 6:53)
I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. (Galatians 2:20)
Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is–His good, pleasing and perfect will. (Romans 12:2)

- Repentance from any known sin.
- Offering our body through the prayer of Roman 6:13.
- Offering our mind.
Station 4 – The Candlestick – The Holy Spirit
I open the curtain and walk into the Holy Place. There I see the candlesticks, symbolic of the Holy Spirit, the sevenfold Spirit of God: Wisdom, Understanding, Counsel, Might, and Knowledge, Fear of the Lord, and God’s Holy Spirit or Christ’s Spirit.
Dear Holy Spirit, Jesus has purchased me by His shedding blood at Calvary. I have indeed been bought with a price. It was not gold, silver, or other perishable things by which I was redeemed; it was with the precious, unblemished blood of Jesus Christ. Therefore, Christ sent You to dwell into my body which is your temple, so that you can carry out the work that He has assigned You.
Your indwelling clearly highlights my inability and insufficiency to fulfill anything that He desires me to fulfill. My body is your temple because that is where you operate. Since I am His, You have a legal right to carry out any type of works that You have been assigned by Him. All I have to do is submitting myself to You moment by moment.
However, by choosing the word “temple” to describe the Spirit’s dwelling, He conveys the idea that our bodies are the shrine, or the sacred place, in which the Spirit not only lives, but is worshiped, revered, and honored. Anything that I am doing in order for it to be accepted by God it has to be done under the power and anointing of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the One who conveys my worships and prayers to God.
My body is the sacred, in which the Spirit of God does His works.
Dear Holy Spirit, I sincerely acknowledge your importance and significance into my life. I recognize You as a Holy person, as a Divine being, as my Helper, as my constant companion, and as God. I invite You, I welcome You, I love You, and I worship You. Dear Holy Spirit, You are the Spirit of Truth, the Helper, God’s Spirit, Christ’s Spirit, the Spirit of the Living God, His Holy Spirit of Promise, His Spirit, God’s Holy Spirit, the Spirit that lives forever, and the Spirit.
You are the One that unites us to Jesus Christ and to His body. You reveal Christ to us, gives us His life, and makes Both God the Father and Christ alive in us. You are the giver of life, where you are God’s presence is, You empower people supernaturally, so that they can carry out any task that is entrusted to them by God.
Dear Holy Spirit, I put aside anything that pertains to the flesh as well as my corrupted soul. I now choose to embrace Your ways. I pray that I become more sensitive to Your leading instead of the desire of my flesh. I pray that you empower me to overcome my innermost struggles.
Holy Spirit, I welcome a deeper more intimate relationship with You today. Dear Holy Spirit, through Your own anointing give me Your Wisdom. Help me to solve all the problems I face through Your own wisdom not mine. Help me to deal with temptation wisely.
Give me Understanding, so that I may understand the deep truths of God, the deep truths that come from the Word of God, and I may live those truths and pass them on to my children. Dear Holy Spirit, I pray that you reveal to me the deep things of God. Give me deep and true understanding of the Word, so that I can share it boldly, with authority, with confidence, and with certitude to others.
Dear Holy Spirit, I want to go deep in the Word through, which you operate. It is true that a carnal mind cannot comprehend the Word of God; I need you to impart the mind of Christ through me so that I can properly understand, discern the deep truths of scriptures. I am very limited when it comes down to interpret, present the Word of God as far as communication is concerned. Dear Holy Spirit, I pray that you help me to develop excellent communication and writing skills, so that I can communicate deep truths from the Word of God with others powerfully. I yearn for that special God-given ability. I cannot wait my Helper to see that ability manifested into me.
Give me Counsel, so that I will follow the narrow path that God has established through Christ. Lead me to the truth of Scriptures. If it pleases you, allow me to counsel others concerning how to solve their problems. Holy Spirit teach me the path of judgment, give me knowledge and show me the way to understanding.
Dear Holy Spirit, I am incapable and inadequate to live a holy life as well as to carry out the work of the Lord in my own human power, ability, and effort. Give me tremendous Might, so that I might be used by you to heal the sick and cast out the demonic spirits. Give me tremendous might, so that I can powerfully proclaim the Word of God to men.
Give me tremendous might, so that my prayers can be very powerful and effective. Prayer that can shake the kingdom of darkness. I am asking you to help me to pray more powerfully and effectively. I pray that you strengthen my prayer life. I am asking you to empower me as well so that I can be fully equipped to endure all temptations that come my way. You are the same yesterday, today, and forever.
Holy Spirit, increase my Knowledge of the Word of God that You have authored. I really need that dear Holy Spirit; you are capable of doing that since the Word was revealed to men by You. On top of that, You are the one helping us to understand and apply every bit of it into our lives.
Give me a keen Fear of the Lord, so that I walk very softly before God and not follow my sinful nature. A keen fear that would enable me to think twice and thrice before sinning against the living God. A fear that would enable me to think clearly about the consequences before making stupid and foolish decision about sinning against the Living God. It is noticeable when I choose to live in sin; it literally destroys my relationship with God. I am sincerely asking you to help me to foster and nurture a keen fear of the Lord.
God’s Spirit, God’s Holy Spirit, the Spirit of the Living God, or Christ’s Spirit, I pray that you empower me so that I can live my life according to your ways instead of following my sinful nature.
Concerning my ministries, I do not want to catch quail with my bare hands. I want your wind to blow the quail into my camp. I want to depend on You, Holy Spirit, not my own human strength. You are not an acrobat. The Bible also tells us that You are a divine person, a being with a mind, emotions, and a will.
Forgive me for treating you impersonally. You should be welcomed, invited, loved, and worshipped. You are my senior partner, constant companion, my advocate, and my helper. I depend upon You completely. Let’s go, Holy Spirit. Thank you for your anointing. Let’s work together today. I will follow You. You please go ahead of me, since I do not know how to do anything about doing the Lord’s work and I will follow You.
You see and know everything that God has done and they are done through the means of Your power. I am relying upon you completely dear Holy Spirit to teach me how to do God’s works in such a way that deliver powerful results. I do not want to do dead works, which have no life, no power in them. I just hate to do dead works, which are powerless dear Holy Spirit. That’s why I want you to enable me; to empower me supernaturally to carry out those works in such a way that brings great satisfaction to the Lord in return the people of God will be blessed greatly.
Before doing something, Lets go Holy Spirit. After completing the Lord’s work, you say Thank you Holy Spirit for your anointing.
The Lord Sends Quail
Numbers 11:31 – 31 Now the Lord sent a (Wind = Holy Spirit) that brought quail from the sea and let them fall all around the camp. For miles in every direction there were quail flying about three feet above the ground.
The wind symbolizes the Holy Spirit or the wind is symbolic of the Holy Spirit.
This is a clear indication of how I should depend on the Holy Spirit. When you are trying to do the Lord works by your own strength and ingenuity, you are exhausting yourself to death. Why don’t you depend up on the Holy Spirit? You must be surrendered to Him daily. He should be your senior partner or senior pastor. You should not be trying to use the Holy Spirit.
Every morning when I wake up, I say Good morning Holy Spirit. I love You, I recognize You, I adore You, and I worship You.
Let’s go together, anoint me dear Holy Spirit. Let’s work in partnership today.
Station 5 – The Table of Shewbread – The Word of God
The Showbread is the symbol of the Word of God which symbolizes Jesus Christ. Thank God you for Your logos Word and your Rhema Word.
Thank you for the written Word and the inspired Word of God. All the 7,000+ promises of God are written in the scriptures.
The logos written Word is potentially mine, but not necessarily practically mine today. Rhema is inspired Word made alive in my heart today for a specific application.
Give my Lord, Your specific Word – Your Rhema Word – for my life today. Give me this day my daily bread.
Peter never walked on water by reading about the Israelites crossing the Red Sea. He requested Jesus to command him to walk on the water.
“And Peter answered Him, Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.” And Jesus, you did that one time.
A specific Rhema Word came directly from the Lord to Peter for a specific situation. He heard, faith came to Peter and just to Peter, by hearing – hearing the Rhema Word from the Lord Jesus to his specific request.
People choose to do certain things by knowledge, not by faith. According to Romans 10:17 – Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God.
That word is Rhema, not logos. When you do things by knowledge you, cannot be sustained. But, when you do something according to Rhema God will sustain you. Faith comes by Rhema.
The other disciples did not respond; the Rhema Word was not for them. Jesus did not call them to walk on the water. They didn’t have the faith or necessarily the desire to do that which Peter did at that moment. Even Peter’s faith wavered as he saw himself miraculously walking on the water. (Mat 14:28)
As his faith in that Rhema Word wavered, he became as a wave driven and tossed by the sea – double minded, lacking in faith – and he sank. As he cried out, Jesus, You saved him and brought him into the boat. And so that miracle was over for that specific time.
Peter did not step out of the boat by the written Word but by the specific spoken Word of the Lord he heard. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Rhema Word of God.
So I must wait on You, Lord, today – if I want to get Your inspired Word. Knowledge can become a kind of false faith. I want true faith from You today, Lord! Operating on knowledge only can be disobeying You. I want to obey You in all things today.
Naming and claiming promises my finger lands on in scripture is a dangerous business. Waiting on You, Lord, for Rhema is the way of the mature disciple. You should wait on the Lord until He inspires Your heart about something.
All the promises in the Bible are potentially yours, not practically yours.
Logos is the Written Word of God potentially yours, but not practically yours. Rhema is the inspired Word of God, the Holy Spirit takes His written Word and make it alive and inspire it to your heart as a present Word of God to you.
Dear Holy Spirit give me a special Rhema today.
Isaiah 40:31 – But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
Station 6 – Altar of Incense – Worship
Father, You are omnipotent. You can do anything and I will believe You. Give me perfect faith in Jesus Christ.
I choose by exercising my free will today. I choose to believe You! I reject fear and doubt. I will never choose either of them.
I trust you. I trust your Word. I trust you, Holy Spirit. You are always with me, you will never leave me or forsake me.
John 14:20 says you are in me! That’s where you live. Make yourself very real to me today! (Here at the Altar of Incense we often stand for several minutes and simply praise God by singing in the Spirit or praying as the Lord would lead you)
The altar of incense is where the priests burn incense, which is sweet smelling to God. This is the praise of God’s children to the heavenly Father.
This is where you praise God, because He is Your creator, you Hallow the names of GOD corresponding to the benefits He provides for us in the new covenant and make your faith declaration.
Picture Calvary and thank God, you can call Him Father by virtue of the blood of Jesus.

Station 7 – The Ark of Covenant
When you come to the Holy of Holies and see the blood on the Ark of the Covenant, you are in the presence of God, right in front of the throne of God.
I see before the Ark of Covenant. The Ark is covered with a Gold plate which is the mercy seat. That’s where the precious blood of Jesus is sprinkled on our behalf.
On that mercy seat, I see the Blood of Jesus. I enter with faith and confidence into the Holy of Holies. I see the blood of Jesus Christ sprinkled on the Mercy seat. It is finished. Tatalistai! All my debts have been paid off – paid in full. I am a free man, free from bondage to sin of any kind.
Through the Blood I have the impartation of the righteousness of Jesus Christ! I am God’s righteousness in Christ. I come into the presence of God without feeling any condemnation because of what Christ has already accomplished for me.
The blood is the answer – it is the final solution for me. I praise you, Father, for the wonderful, incredible blessing of righteousness imparted to me, your servant, through your Son, Jesus Christ.
Thank you, Lord, that the devil is my defeated enemy through the Blood of Christ. I will not bow to the fear of the roaring lion. He is bluffing and he is defeated.
The Commandments in the Ark
Christ’s blood annuls the power of the law that would make me work for righteousness. The law is my mirror now, not my master. It helps me to clean my face, my conscience. The law does not condemn me.
Christ is my Lord. His blood is the final, finished work that redeems me. The law shows me how to please God and helps me understand when I have grieved and disobeyed God – but it is not my condemner. The blood has changed that forever for me as a New Testament Christian.
No human works or achievements are required for my salvation. Only to believe – only faith in the finished work of the Cross.
Thank you, Father, that the blood is my deliverance from sin. The blood is my impartation of Christ’s righteousness. The blood brings my freedom from fear of Satan. The blood is my freedom from the law of the Old Testament.
The blood is my freedom from human works to achieve right standing with you, O Lord!
Ripple Prayer
In the Holy of Holies, I pray my own personal requests through what Dr. Cho calls the ripple prayer. I pray for those closest to me and work out from there like a stone making a ripple on the water.
Now I am truly ready to have my prayers answered and my petitions heard. I bring them humbly before the Lord with faith and confidence that He hears me and will answer my prayers.
The Things That Are Found Inside of The Ark of Covenant.
The two tablets with the Ten Commandments stands for the instructions or the commandments of God.
The rod of Aaron which was in the Ark of the Covenant represents the spiritual leadership of God which governs, teaches, instructs and mentors God’s people.
The bowl of manna stands for a reminder which says; that even in times of drought, those who love God will never starve or die of poverty, because God will sustain and feed them at all times.
The two cherubim on the top of the ark stands for God’s protection and covering, which protects and covers His people.
