     We have come to an understanding of the experience of the new birth which was seen in the type and shadow of the breast plate that covers the heart. We will now continue to look at the sealing in the light of our second sealing of experience which is shown on the seal that is put on the two onyx stone that is put on the shoulders of the high priest. Looking at Exodus 28:6-14

Exodus 28:6-14 (Amplified Bible)

6. And they shall make the ephod of gold, of blue, purple, and scarlet [stuff], and fine twined linen, skillfully woven and worked.

7. It shall have two shoulder straps to join the two [back and front] edges, that it may be held together.

8. The skillfully woven girding band which is on the ephod shall be made of the same, of gold, blue, purple, and scarlet [stuff], and fine twined linen.

9. And you shall take two onyx or beryl stones and engrave on them the names of the twelve sons of Israel;

10. Six of their names on one stone and the six names of the rest on the other stone, arranged in order of their birth.

11. With the work of a stone engraver, like the engravings of a signet, you shall engrave the two stones according to the names of the sons of Israel. You shall have them set in sockets or rosettes of gold.

12. And you shall put the two stones upon the [two] shoulder straps of the ephod [of the high priest] as memorial stones for Israel; and Aaron shall bear their names upon his two shoulders as a memorial before the Lord.

13. And you shall make sockets or rosettes of gold for settings,

14. And two chains of pure gold, like cords shall you twist them, and fasten the corded chains to the settings.

Notice that the number two is mentioned seven times in these verses, this is very significant with the feast of Pentecost. The number seven speaks of perfection and the number two speaks of witness.

Leviticus 23:17

Leviticus 23:17 (Amplified Bible)

17. You shall bring from your dwellings two loaves of bread to be waved, made from two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour; they shall be baked with leaven, for first fruits to the Lord.

The glorious experience we are referring to is the Baptism of the Holy Ghost. This is typified in the feast of Pentecost. This is also the first fruits of our promised inheritance.

Acts 5:32

Acts 5:32 (Amplified Bible)

32. And we are witnesses of these things, and the Holy Spirit is also, Whom God has bestowed on those who obey Him.

Acts 1:8

Acts 1:8 (Amplified Bible)

8. But you shall receive power (ability, efficiency, and might) when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you shall be my witnesses in Jerusalem and all Judea and Samaria and to the ends (the very bounds) of the earth.

We have indeed covered the first sealing which covers the cutting away of the works of the flesh, the two onyx stones on the shoulders to show strength and authority, the shoulders speaks of authority and government.

Isa. 9:6

Isaiah 9:6 (Amplified Bible)

6. For to us a Child is born, to us a Son is given; and the government shall be upon His shoulder, and His name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father [of Eternity], and Prince of Peace. (A)

What a wonderful experience, while we were in the outer court going through the experience of being born again, the High Priest went before us with a breast Plate covering the heart which clearly defines a cutting away of the flesh, the old carnal Adamic nature.

     Now, we are moving on the Holy Place where we have been baptized with the Holy Spirit and have been introduced to a new power and authority and government. A deposit of the Holy Spirit is placed within us as a guarantee of the purchase the was made. We will talk about the Guarantee in the next message, we have been made witnesses after we received Power, his power, his witness, his deposit, all him. The time has come for us to clean house, for the King of Glory has come and we will have need to get rid of some of the things that occupy his temple, we need to make room for him. He is not a visitor, he is not visiting but he has come to stay. This house which we are, belongs to Him, we are not our own because we were bought with a price. This is no joking matter, we were bought with blood, it cost him his life.

     This house which was once occupied by another tenant was bought and paid for, the new owner has arrived and therefore the old furniture of the carnal mind, such as cussing, sleeping around, backbiting, hate, lying, false witness, un-forgiveness, lawlessness, greed, ungodliness, unbelief, disobedience, witchcraft etc will have to go. You see, he wants us to bring in his new furniture where these old things once was. Faith, mercy, love, kindness, hope, joy, goodness, truth, holiness, the fear of God etc.

    It is a beautiful place of power and glory, we do not have to wait for this, it is here now and available for every believer. This power belongs to you now, why accept defeat or anything less when you were designed for greatness and glory.
