Proverbs 20:27, the spirit of man is like the lamp of God....

     Roh manusia yang telah ditahirkan oleh Firman, jika ia masuk di dalam hadirat Roh Tuhan (Face of God), rohnya akan diurapi atau 'sumbunya' akan bernyala oleh api suci Roh Kudus.  Kristus bersabda "Berbahagialah orang yang suci hatinya (sumbu roh), karena mereka akan melihat Allah" (Matius 5:8). Arti perkataan "Berbahagia" adalah 'anugerah' dari Sorga.  Umat manusia tidak ada sumber manusia untuk mengecapi ucapan 'berbahagia."  'Blessedness' hanya dapat dikecapi oleh manusia keturunan 'luka,' hanya apabila ada 'anugerah' dari operasi karunia roh tujuh lapis: the Word of God.'

     Dalam hadirat Roh Kudus atau "melihat Allah," sumbu-roh manusia akan bernyala, dan cahayanya akan menyinari seluruh tubuh roh manusia. Sumbu roh itu (jantung roh) juga masih dapat berfungsi-bernyala sebagai lampu, biarpun ia berhubungan-sentuh (spiritual encounter) dengan lain-lain roh, iaitu roh-roh bukan geng roh Tuhan.

     Namun, pertembungan roh seumpama itu akan hanya memberikan realiti-realiti roh yang bertembung dengan jantung roh kita (spiritual hearts). Dalam lain perkataan, roh manusia dari semula sememangnya dicipta seperti lampu; dalam hadirat Roh Kudus, sumbunya bernyala oleh api suci Roh Kudus, begitu juga halnya dalam hadirat lain-lain mahluk roh, sumbunya boleh bernyala namun apinya tidaklah suci. Tanpa hadirat apa-apa mahluk halus, roh kita yang dibaluti daging hanya akan dapat menanggapi realiti sekeliling melalui kelima deria rasa yang berpusat pada otak, dan juga sedar kepada aktiviti-aktiviti sistem sarafnya.  Maka, jika kita melihat makhluk roh seperti ---, itu bermakna sumbu roh kita sedang berinteraksi (spritual encounter) dengan roh yang hadir iaitu sebagaimana yang dilihat oleh mata roh.

     The spirit of man must be pure in order to become the lampstand of the descending Holy Spirit.  Thus, Jesus said "be perfect, therefore, as My Father in heaven is perfect."  Jesus was not exhorting the believers to equate themselves with the Holiness of God. He was simply unfolding the nature of the business in entering the pure (perfect) door of His Presence.  You must be likened the pure gold lampstand in order to enter the presence of the pure tongue of fire. And ones must be continually meditating the "Way," if ones desire to enter His Presence; it is the Word that enables every believer to be approved into the business of "entering:" prayer. "Enter your own chamber ('deep'~spirit), for the Lord is descending..."

     Jesus revealed "apart from Me, you can do nothing." Apart from the Sacred Cross you can't be the pure gold lampstand. You must be clothed with the perfect garment cleansed by the blood of Jesus. The perfect garment made from the Word presaged right from the beginning when Adam saw the perfection of the animal-skin garment made from the spoken Word of the Divine.  

     Jesus was the spoken words of the Divine (John 1: 1) in the Old Testament.  If we see the perfection of the garment made from the spoken words of the Divine just like Adam who saw the divine-made garment which was far better off compared to his weaved-fig-leaves covering , then we would joyfully believe in the One whom the Father hath sent. The free 'gift' for the wounded men to be healed.  Thus, His blood is the perfect cleansing power that enables every follower to be the pure gold lampstand; they put on the holy linen tunic for their spirits by asking Christ to cleanse their spiritual hearts.

The spirit of man is like the lamp
of God (the 'wick' of the spirit is
aflamed when it is cleansed by
the sacred blood of Jesus.)

Christ was foreshadowed by the tangible Menorah
in Torah ~see Exodus 25: 32-35.  When
you see the menorah upward into heaven, then
you will see the reality of the Spirit as revealed in Revelation 1: 12-16 and Revelation 21: 23.

     Every believer's spirit functions to be 'holy of holiest' chamber or the lamp stand for the descending Holy Spirit. Therefore, each believer would be exhorted, and disciplined like the seven lampstands (churches-'spirits of the believers') in Asia Minor (Rev.2-3). The Law was the Word of God that became Christ. All Divine Law are the spoken Words of God. "8 Open my eyes that I may see wonderful things in your law" (Psalm 119: 8).  The wonderful things of the Law are Christ's handiworks.  "My spoken words are Spirit" said Jesus Christ.  And that Spirit embodied as Christ. Therefore, all Mosaic Laws are revealing Christ and divine holiness.  They (the Old Testament House of Jacob) observed the Law, thus, they were acquainted with Divine Holiness.  

     The New Covenant believers do not live according to the Laws because they are given the Way, the Door, and the Key to be the pure golden lampstands for the pure tongue of fire;  "14 For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” (Galatians 5: 14). That tongue of fire is the presence of God. Therefore, they enter the spiritual relationship with Christ. The previous spoken words in the form of Law (Mosaic Law), later became the embodied Son of the Most of High, fulfilling the Divine spoken words: the prophecies, the Laws and the Psalms.

     When the Light of the Holy Spirit on our wicks of our spirits unfolds the Laws, we sigh "...ah, the shadows of Christ's mission; the divine spoken Word in the form of Laws." When they read Jesus' Word in Luke 24:44,  they say "Amen" because they see that Christ in the flesh was the Divine handiwork in saving/redeeming the wounded men.  Thus, they chose not to be enslaved by the Letters, but they chose to meet the Divine Spirit, and they saw the splendor, consuming-fire realities of His holiness. They entered the spiritual relationship "Deep calls deep" as husband and wife.

     Supposed that we called upon the presence (face) of the Holy Ghost, then we must follow the Way, the Door, and the Key in entering His Presence. Therefore, without wisdom, understanding and knowledge, it would be impossible to present ourselves as the righteous lamp-stands for the ever presence of the Holy Ghost.  And, if we do not embrace the Way like "a branch and the true Vine," then surely we would not understand how to enter into our own chambers, then -- into His presence: the royal priesthood.

----------------
Threefold hearts within a man: the design that continuously marred by our sins
----------------

     Every man has three hearts; the physical heart, the heart of the soul, and the spiritual heart.  Though the health of our physical hearts are interweaved with the other two hearts, every professing Christian does have general knowledge concerning healthy foods for the heart, and healthy life styles as well, in optimizing its functions.  Our hearts of the souls are healthy by practicing love and forgiveness.  Whereas, our spiritual hearts are purified by the faithful power of love and forgiveness by the Lamb of God. Thus, we would only deal with our heart of the soul, and the heart of the spirit in doing the business of "entering" into the presence of the Holy Spirit.  Most of us do not only concern about the spiritual heart, but also we are lacking  Wisdom, understanding and knowledge.

     Without His presence (the 'Face' of God), our spiritual hearts wouldn't be caught up into the flow of the "Spirit of prayer."  If there is no Light, then there would be no lamp unto your feet, and no Light for your path. If the Holy Ghost has seemingly lifted up His presence from our wicks of the spirits, then ones shall learn to be content in trusting His "name." What does "trusting in his name" mean as in Isaiah 50: 10 ? In prophecy, divine-revealed "name" simply means "divine mission." Thus, the absence of His presence (empowerment), demands the followers, who have "fears of the Lord," to put their trust in His 'name.'
