                       Part II

   In the Old Testament terrible things happened to people who had “The Ark of the Covenant” but were not “clean,” "sin free" by God.   The Levites and the children of Israel had to be forgiving, cleansed, bathed, clean clothed, and animal sacrifices made in order to have “The Ark of The Covenant”, “The Ten Commandments”.

   

   

“The Ark of the Covenant “was powerful!

( I have listed a reference at the bottom in which you can research the  Ark for yourself.)

     The Ark has so many uses I cannot begin to write them all down. It went before the people to help them win battles. It was carried around the city of Jericho, and the walls came down.  If people looked at it they were healed. The Philistines captured it a couple times and because they were not clean, plagues, boils, tumors and mice came upon them.

  The Ark was placed in the temple of Dagon and every morning the statue of Dagon would be knocked over until it’s head and hands were broken off.  If people got near the Ark they would die.  David moved it into a city and the “whole city” received great blessings. (1 Samuel 5). 

   

Dagon Fallen

 The Ark was a blessing for those who had the “Old Testament” Covenant with God.  It also was a curse to the enemies of God.

Jeremiah prophesied that one day people would not talk about “The Ark of the Covenant”.

A day when everyone will call God Father and have the presence of the Lord with them.

           Jesus is the “Ark of the Covenant” The New Testament, Testimony, “The Ten Commandments”.  When you have Jesus, you  become “The Ark of the Covenant”, The Testimony, “The Ten Commandments”. God’s says if you obey his commandments he will be your God and you will be his children. You will walk by people and they will be healed or die, forgiving or bound up, loosed or curseed etc. . When you are in the room people are blessed or cursed.

      This is great news!!  Jesus in you!  When you think about Jesus you have to think about “The Ten Commandments”, they are one.

             
              Shh............... God is Speaking

                                It is rude to speak while God is speaking.

     

 As a Christian we invite God; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, into our lives, hearts, minds and bodies.

They really literally "live" inside us.  They are always talking.  They want us to listen.  So we have to live quietly as good hosts in our minds, hearts, life, and body for we have a guest.  We have to let our guest speak freely while we just listen.  After we listen of course we will have questions which they want to answer.

 

  If we are a good host to our guest we are always listening and before we do anything we ask their permission.  God, (Father, Son and Holy Spirit each one of the God head); has work to do every minute. God has plans for themselves while they stay with us and would like to lead us, guide us, teach us, help us, empower us, work beside them etc...
