Holy Bible Study Notes:

- God told Moses to make a tabernacle of private meeting when Moses was on Mount Sinai (Exodus 25-28). But the tabernacle wasn't built yet. This wouldn't stop Moses from taking extraordinary measures to seek God. He determined to make his “own tent” a tabernacle of meeting. This was not something that Moses organized or planned or strategized. He sought God, radically and spontaneously.

Moses sought after God for the sake of his “own relationship“ with God. (When Moses left the tent, Joshua stayed in it. I can only imagine that when Moses & Joshua talked, it was “about“ God. Yet sadly Today when Christians get together they rarely talk only about Jesus. Can you imagine Moses & Joshua talking about parties or playing on the beach or their new fun toys? No, instead they were immersed in their love & talk about God. Nothing else matters but God. Their only words were about God. Not fun, church growth, activities or entertainment. Just on how awesome God is and that without His “presence” they didn’t want to take a step in life.)

My Presence will go with you is literally "My Face will go with you." It has the sense of "in the immediate presence of God." (This and this & this - should be the main desire of every Christian. Every second, every word, every deed, every breath. if alone or with church friends).

Only God the Holy Spirit could truly separate them from the (world ) nations (yet many Churches & Pastors do not worship, teach or follow God the Holy Spirit. So they are ships with no sails, cars with no wheels, dangerous rockets with no coordinates).

Moses asks to draw closer to God. Ex 33:18. And he said, "Please, show me Your glory." Moses won a "yes" answer from God when he asked for the special presence of God to remain. BLB

* Key Note: Yet he was still not satisfied. He wanted more in his personal relationship with God. - This hunger for more of God - for more of an experience with God - is a mark of true relationship. Whatever Moses had experienced with God, he now wanted more. (More & more & more of only Jesus & less & less & less of the churches & peoples fun).

“How much do we know of this desire for God himself? That is what Moses asked for: 'Show me they glory. Take me yet a step nearer.'" (Lloyd-Jones)

Have you ever asked God for more of just Himself? Not “more church” or “bigger church” or even a healing or miracle. Have you ever just asked God for “more of just Himself?

Evidence: When was your last 1 or 2 day Fast & private solitude with just your Bible & no person or sound but God?

I’m headed out to follow the vision that God gave to me, to move beyond the Church Pulpit as Pastor & go directly to people as His servant.

The Devotionals & past Church Sermons are being transferred now over to my new ministry. May they live on to bless others, especially my family.

Before I go, a few last things:

1. Devotionals on subjects such - Intimacy with Jesus, Loving God, the Mercy of God, Trials, Surrender to God & Dying to self, Gods Blessings, Gods Friendship, Service for Jesus, God the Holy Spirit, Gifts of the Spirit, Dying to self, Choose God 1st God over Church, the Throne of Jesus, Moses’s Bush, the Kiss of Jesus and much more are all available for the asking.

As I leave, I would ask you to always remember a few things from Gods Word in my heart, briefly said:

- God must come before Church. Must must must.
- God must come before any Christian thing or activity.
- Being alone with Jesus is more important than being in a Christian group.
- To live for Jesus, you must die to who you are. Every second of every day.
- Your Pastor is a failed sinner just like you.
- Your Church, Denomination, Programs, Concerts, Parties and all other stuff, must be way way way behind your relationship with Jesus.
- All scriptures are good. Even the scriptures on warnings, judgement & the End Times.
- Intimacy & Private alone time with Jesus is the missing gem in the Christian Ring.
- Fasting is beautiful.
- The touch of Jesus can’t be equaled by anything.
- Pray 24/7/365. Even in the bathroom.
- Adore, Revere, AWE & Obey every word of God.
- The Manifest Presence of Jesus upon you & His Spirit living in you, is the gift of the Kingdom of Heaven for you, for now, until He takes you home. Seek Him Alone.
- Love God with all of your heart, mind, soul & strength.

Blessings.

Good night.

I love Song of Solomon and I think in that little book is the heartbeat of Jesus. He shows his desire to make Himself known to those who love Him and obey him, the ones He calls his friends.
I love this secret unread untaught book of the Holy Bible.
Jesus is looking for anyone in whom He can share his heart, His purpose, and His plans. His heart burns with desire for you, so He can share with you His life, his power, and His throne. In other words, He is looking for a Bride — those who will become one in spirit with Him. He is not looking for someone who is interested with their own life and getting blessings, or even for someone who has wrapped their Christian life into their church or Christian things.

Instead He is looking for those who desire to enter intimate union with him.

“I pray that the Lord will grant to you “a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him, that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you may know what is the hope of his calling, what are the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, and what is the surpassing greatness of his power toward us who believe” (Ephesians 1:17-19a).

The Bible is not an end in itself, instead the Bible is a way to bring people to an intimate relationship with God, that they may enter into Him, that He may live in us. That we might enter into His Presence, may taste and know the sweetness of God Himself. We know the Word of God. But do we know the Author of the Word of God?

Augustine said: `Thou hast formed us for Thyself, and our hearts are restless till they find rest in Thee.'

God formed us for Himself.
Will you wait until Heaven to seek and find Him?

Does He know you?
Do you know Him?

He created us for His pleasure and for us to have pleasure “In” Him,
`Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.' (Revelation 4:11)

We claim that going to church is our relationship with God. In so, maybe we have broken with God. We have ceased to pursue Him or love Him and hence in the secret part of our soul we have run as far as possible from His Presence. But we claim that church is enough for us.
Is it? Should it be?

I think the heart of the Christian message in our Bibles is God Himself desiring for His children to push and pursue Him in conscious awareness of His Presence.

AW Tozer wrote: “Some today are prophets, not scribes, for the scribe tells us what he has read, and the prophet tells us what he has seen.
We are today overrun with orthodox scribes, but the prophets, where are they" The hard voice of the scribe sounds over evangelicalism, but the Church waits for the tender voice of the saint who has pe*****ted the veil and has gazed with inward eye upon the Wonder that is God. And yet, thus to pe*****te, to push in sensitive living experience into the holy Presence, is a privilege open to every child of God. Prophets will point you to Jesus or back to Jesus. They fear no man made system that takes the place of God. For our God is a jealous God and wants you to want Him more then just todays church.

Why do we agree to just “go to church” and thereby live all of our days just outside the Holy of Holies and never enter to the Throne of Jesus and hear our sweet Lord the Bridegroom say, `Let me see thy countenance, let me hear thy voice; for sweet is thy voice and thy countenance is comely.' (Song of Song of Solomon 2:14)

In SOS we see Jesus’s desire to kiss you, hold you, walk with you and protect you.

We seek some of those things and solace, joy & comfort in church or Christian things. But they don’t satisfy our need. In fact they can be a hindrance from us pushing forward to meet & experience Jesus.

I encourage you to pursue God and seek His face and presence. For there is no greater joy on earth.

Oh Lord, may we worship you in your Majesty. May we with one eye just melt away as we see you dying on the Cross for our sins. May we with our other eye see you sitting on your Throne, so Holy that the sinless perfect Seraphim dare not even look at your beauty.

You are beautiful
You are too beautiful with a beauty that is beyond my description.
You are too marvelous for any words we can speak.
You are too wonderful for us to have any understanding.
You are good, your are holy, you are merciful, indescribable, victorious, irresistible.

Your love for me is everlasting, unchanging, your yoke on my life is easy. In my troubled life you are my perfect peace. You are my king, you are Gods son. You are my savior.

Oh my Godhead Three in One. Father- Spirit -Son.
You are my Lion and you are my Lamb. You are strong, powerful, honest & forgiving.

Into your kind and gentle breast do I want to be and lay my head. Even now Lord. Even now. I want to kiss your lips and breathe in your love and comfort. I desire to breathe in your peace, rest & love.

Holy, holy, holy are you Jesus,
There is none other beside you. Take my life right now Lord and let it praise Your name.

You are my hero. You heal those who are sick, you forgive my debts, you protect me from the people in my life that are the soldiers of Satan.

You parted the Red Sea. You raised Lazarus from the dead. You crushed evil armies with your strong hand. You see me now. You promise to lead me, guide me, protect me & bless me.

Within your presence, Lord
I bow my heart to you in quiet praise.
I give my song to you.
I give my heart to you.
I give my life to you.
I give my future to you.

Remove my pride, my idols, even my focus on Christian things. May you my Lord, be my focus, my life and my everything.

Breathe into me oh Lord, your breath of life.

May the world around me fall far below.
May my heart just overflow for you & you alone.

There is nothing more that I want except you. Touch my heart, my soul my life and have me abandon all that I have and all that I am, so that your spirit will live in me and be magnified for your praise. Lord please manifest your presence unto me. All I ask for is you. Not church, not religion, nothing upon nothing - my Dear Lord, but you. You and you alone Lord
Open my eyes and heart so I can see. Dear Lord Jesus breath into my my soul. Make your home in my heart. Live in me through your Spirit.

Lord, oh Lord, I love you and want to praise you with every breath that I take. Lord Jesus Christ, I love you.

In prayer today I see how, 2 Tim 3:16 “marries” Php 4:8-9

Whatsoever things are True, Honest, Just, Pure, Lovely, of Good Report; if there be any Virtue, and if there be any Praise, Think on these things. Philippians 4:8-9

All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness. 2 Tim 3:16

In the modern world of Christianity, we have deemed warnings from Gods handwriting & His quoted words of repentance as mean distasteful words of personal spoken judgement.

But in truth, as you warn a child not to run into the middle of the road, so true also that Gods warnings are not mean. They are instead love. For He careth for you. He loves you. He doesn’t want you deceived by much of todays pastors/churches/teachings, that are half filled glasses.

Gods words on our need to die to self/surrender/repent are True, Honest, Just, Pure, Lovely, and of Good Report; they are His virtue. What is not any of that above are many of todays pastors teachings. If if if they/you, speak the full counsel of God, people who only want happy words, will get upset. They will leave & take their tithe money with them. That is solemn verbatim truth.
He is returning any day. Much of the bride is not ready. If so then Matthew 7:21-23 & Rev 3:16 were mistakes of speaking by Jesus. The Lord made a mistake of meanness.

Going to church, saying a prayer, doesn’t save you anymore then going to McDonalds makes you a Cheeseburger.

Salvation is not even knowing the word of God. Instead it is knowing the author of the word of God & then Him knowing and living inside of you, such as that you experience His presence.

Till next time.

Key notes before I depart:

Nothing will give a believer as much joy and happiness as Jesus. Just spending time alone with Him.

No fresh well of water taste better then that which is dug using the sword of the Word of God.

No eye sees Him better then the eye that has been wetted with tears of personal repentance.

No heart beats better for Him then the one emptied of self & filled with His Spirit.

No mouth worships as well for Him then the one cleansed by His hot coal of reverential awe.

No feet move better for Him then the ones that first move to join the harlot in kissing His own feet.

Know hands works better then the ones who’s fingers have touched the Word of God.

No Soul shines better then the one anointed & filled by His Spirit.

Good morning.

People say they want greater faith. Well, I first want Jesus, the Author of my faith.
* Hebrews 12:2 says, “Looking away unto Jesus, the “Author” and Perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down on the right hand of the throne of God.”

The faith by which we are saved is the precious faith that we have “received” from the Lord” (2 Pet. 1:1).

I think at times we think we can have more faith, by this christian or church thing or that thing. Yet it is really Jesus Christ Himself that we need & that happens most often & at its deepest level, in Christ alone. That is more then a song, (In Christ alone my hope is found. He is my light, my strength, my song…). It is solemn truth that our intimate relationship with Christ alone - is to be first, for “in Him”, is our faith, hope, peace, joy & salvation.

Yes we want faith. But faith is Christ. “not by faith on the Son of God, but by the faith of (OF) the Son of God” (Gal. 2 20)

Jesus says to us– “My child, just take Me & let Me be inside of you, for your constant supply of all that you need, even your faith, which is “of” Me”.

Be so close to Jesus that you can smell the sweet perfume of His breath and then breath Him in to your heart as your read His Love letter, until your own breath has the scent of His scriptures. Lay your head into His arms. His word says “His left arm is under my head, and his right arm embraces me”. Song 2:6

Sometimes as Christians we say “I got it. I got a healing, I got a blessing, I got wisdom….”

It should be though, that instead of having any Christian thing, you should want something, better, yes better. That is Jesus Christ. He bought you with the price of His blood 🩸 and life. This day, seek the giver rather more then the gifts. Seek Jesus Himself.
