God ansered your prayer. See what He did to Celeste

WELL GLORY. GOD ANSWERED YOUR PRAYERS AND MINE. CELESTE AND I SAW OUR HEART DR. HE CHECKED AND ALL THE FLUID ON HER LUNGS  IS GONE. He canceled and changed some medicines he felt was causing other problems. We are so grateful. We have wept with joy. THANK YOU. So many wrote they were praying. Great will be your reward in heaven.

Constant Burning of the Oil

The oil was to "cause the lamp to burn always." This was to be a constant burning It was not enough for the lamp to burn brightly one day and be quenched the next. God was so concerned in Samuel's day that "ere the lamp of God went out in the temple of the Lord...the Lord called Samuel" (1 Sam 3:3-4). Another admonition of God for us is to "quench not the Spirit" (1 Thess. 5:19). Any urge, yearning, or desire we may ever have  for spiritual things, God put it there and wants us to respond and not to quench the Holy Spirit.

Remember, we studied and found there were over 60 ministries of the Holy Spirit to and through believers. No wonder there is so much emphasis on the Lampstand and oil in the tabernacle.

Remember, "It is God which worketh in you both to will (desire) and to do of His good pleasure (Phil. 2:13). What a sacred thing that God should give us even one desire to please Him! The reason people don't read the Word or pray or witness is that they don't want to.  If there is one desire in your heart to please God, be assured that He put it there; and God help us if we "quench Spirit" who gives that desire.

"I would rather bring one sinner to Jesus Christ than unravel all the mysteries of the divine Word, for salvation is the one thing we are to live for." - Charles Haddon Spurgeon

The clean oil, no impurities

Notice in Exodus 27:20 that it was to be pure oil or, as the Hebrew word means, clean.  There were to be no impurities lest they hindered the light from burning. There was to be no mixture, only the pure oil. So today, if we are to shine for the Lord' there must not be any impurities in our lives that would grieve the Holy Spirit We are told, "Grieve not the holy Spirit of God" (Eph. 4:30). Above all else, the Holy Spirit is holy. Any impurity in our lives grieve Him who is so designated. The reason so many lose the consciousness of His peace, and presence is that they allow so-called little things in their lives. With all the jealousy, envy, strife, and hate among the saints, no wonder there is little power in the average church.  The Holy Spirit has to work on the believer to convict him of sin, instead of through him to convert sinners.

When David sinned and acknowledged it, he asked God to restore the joy of His salvation (Ps. 51:12). If you lack the joy you once knew as a child of God, perhaps you, too, have grieved the Holy Spirit. Praise God, you can have peace and joy restored when you confess the sin that the Holy Spirit is putting His finger on right now, for "if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (1 Jn. 1:9). If we don't judge ourselves, confess our sins, He will chasten us", spank us, withhold good things from us. "Whom He loves He chastens" Heb 12:6.

"Search me, O God and know my heart, try me and know my thoughts; and see if there be any wicked way in me and lead me in the way of everlasting." Ps 139:23,24.

The command to bring the oil for the lamp to burn

"Thou shalt command the children of Israel that they bring thee pure oil olive beaten for the light, to cause the lam to burn always" (Ex. 27:20). Though obviously the oil was essential to cause the light to burn, God said, "Command the children of Israel" to bring the oil. This is a picture of the Christian being filled with the Holy Spirit, so filling of the Holy Spirit is a command of God.  Ephesians 5:18 says, "Be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess, but be filled with the Spirit." This is not optional; it is a divine imperative. How? "If we ask anything according to His will ...we know, we have the petitions that we desired of him" 1 John 5:16.  "Present your  body" for the Holy Spirit to control or as I like to say, "get in the driver's seat and control us". Rom 12:1, 6:13.

Too many today are totally oblivious to the Holy Spirit in their lives. They know nothing of His work in and through them. Some time ago, I made a study and found there are 60 ministries of the Holy Spirit to and through believers. Then, many of you will remember I did a series teaching these. Many do not want to pay the price of a Spirit filled life. It means giving up too much of self and the desires of the flesh and they treat this command as though they have an option to refuse to yield to the Holy Spirit. As God admonished Moses to command the children of Israel, so we as God's ministers are to command the children of God to be filled with the Holy Spirit. For us not to do so is rebellion.

God's gift of salvation did not come cheap. Christ suffered and died for our sins, paid the debt in full, rose again and was seen by hundreds. Trust He paid yours and receive Him

Obey me..."so shalt thou find favor...in the sight of God and man"  Prov 3:1-4. WOW
