The Pattern: As it is in Heaven
“And see to it that you make them according to the pattern which was shown you on the mountain” Exodus 25:40 NKJV.
““All this,” said David, “the Lord made me understand in writing, by His hand upon me, all the works of these plans”” 1 Chronicles 28:19 NKJV.
My child, the pattern of a Christian life is as it is in Heaven. I gave Moses the design of the Tabernacle from the pattern of Heaven. I gave King David the design of the first Temple from the pattern in heaven. The Son, Messiah, brought the revelation of My Kingdom to the sons of Israel and taught them to pray: My Kingdom come, My will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.
I call you this day to search the Scriptures and I will reveal the pattern of Heaven to you for your lives. For example, study King David to find out why I said he was a man who sought after My heart. David found the key of praise which opened a portal of Heaven. As he gave himself whole-heartedly in praise to Me, he entered through the door of worship and finally glimpsed the glory — My Glory: the pattern of Heaven — but could not enter in fullness.
Oh! How much more is available to My people today than what King David had in his time. Through the Atoning Blood of Christ the veil was torn and the way opened to enter into the glory. No longer are you kept back, but you are invited into My Presence to partake of the wonders of praising and worshipping with the heavenly host and the saints of God.
I urge you not to linger in the outer court, but press in until you come to the Mercy Seat in the Holy of Holies. You enter in by the Blood and are called up higher to sit with the Son at the right hand of the Throne. This is the pattern of a fulfilled Christian life: Abide in the Son as the Son abides in Me.
The closest thing King David could experience in his day was to establish the Tabernacle of David. Here continual praise, worship, and adoration of I AM revealed the pattern of Heaven, wherein every praise was and is directed to Me — Your Father. In this tabernacle there was no blood of bulls or goats only the sacrifice of praise and worship from the lips of the sons of Israel. I tell you this was a foreshadowing of what is available to My people today: sincere worship from loyal and devoted hearts who love Me as they enter into intimate fellowship (unity) with Me.
The enemy wants to block this portal because he knows that true worship gives you access to the glory and in the glory nothing is impossible. In the glory realm his defeat is openly manifested and My children are no longer vulnerable to his schemes and lies.
The pattern is set as it is in Heaven. It was established before the foundations of the world were laid. The pattern is Christ and Him alone. Come enter into My courts with praise and worship until the door to the glory realm opens. You have the keys to the Kingdom; put them into the lock and turn them with your faith.
I release My grace to you and yours this day as I invite you to come up higher. This is a day to rejoice and sing praises for I AM your delighted Father who sees the sincerity of your heart. Shalom.
“Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name. For the Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting, And His truth endures to all generations” Psalms 100:4-5 NKJV.
