MINISTERING BEFORE THE PEOPLE

Ezekiel 44:5-14

Eli and Abiathar - the unfaithful priests

- They were confined to minister only in

the Outer Court as a consequence of

their unfaithfulness.

MINISTERING BEFORE THE LORD

Ezekiel 44:15-16

Zadok - the faithful priest

- Ministries in the Outer Court, Holy

place and the Holy of Holies.

Holy of Holies

Ezekiel 44:15-16 NLT

[15] "However, the Levitical priests of the

family of Zadok continued to minister faithfully

in the Temple when Israel abandoned me for

idols. These men will serve as my ministers.

They will stand in my presence and offer the

fat and blood of the sacrifices, says the

Sovereign LORD. [16] They alone will enter

my sanctuary and approach my table to serve

me. They will fulfill all my requirements.

Outer Court

Ezekiel 44:19 NLT

[19] When they return to the outer courtyard

where the people are, they must take off the

clothes they wear while ministering to me.

They must leave them in the sacred rooms

and put on other clothes so they do not

endanger anyone by transmitting holiness to

them through this clothing.

From Outer Court to the Holiest place. From glory

to glory. From strength to strength.

2 Corinthians 3:18 KJV

[18] But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass

the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image

from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

Psalm 84:5-7 KJV

[5] Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in

whose heart are the ways of them . [6] Who passing

through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also

filleth the pools. [7] They go from strength to strength,

every one of them in Zion appeareth before God.

The faithful priests will see Him face to

face .

Revelation 22:3-4

“And there shall be no more curse: but the

throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in

it; and his servants shall serve him: And

they shall see his face; and his name shall

be in their foreheads.”

The Lord is their portion.

Deuteronomy 10:9 NLT

[9] That is why the Levites have no share of property or

possession of land among the other Israelite tribes.

The LORD himself is their special possession, as the

LORD your God told them.)

Psalm 73:25-26 KJV

[25] Whom have I in heaven but thee ? and there is

none upon earth that I desire beside thee. [26] My flesh

and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my

heart, and my portion for ever.

CARRYING THE PRESENCE OF GOD

REQUIRES PROPER ORDER.

(1 Chron.15:12-15; Deut.10:8; )

Perspiration speaks of human endeavor.

Ezekiel 44:17-18

TRUE WORSHIP MEANS LIVING A HOLY LIFE.

Romans 12:1-2

VESSELS OF GOD

2 Timothy 2:20-22

TRUE WORSHIP MEANS LIVING A HOLY LIFE.

Romans 12:1-2

Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy,

to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and

pleasing to God--this is your spiritual act of worship. Do

not conform any longer 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.

TRUE WORSHIP MEANS LIVING A HOLY LIFE.

VESSELS OF GOD

2 Timothy 2:20-22

In a large house there are articles not only of gold and

silver, but also of wood and clay; some are for noble

purposes and some for ignoble. If a man cleanses

himself from the latter, he will be an instrument for

noble purposes, made holy, useful to the Master and

prepared to do any good work. Flee the evil desires of

youth, and pursue righteousness, faith, love and

peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a

pure heart.(NIV)

Lord , who shall abide in thy

tabernacle? Who shall dwell in thy holy

hill?

– Ps.15
