We are continuing in with the topics in Parashah Emor and will look at taking
care of the Tabernacle Lamp. The last two weeks we discussed the
transformation of the Bride into the Priesthood and how She become Yshuas
hands and feet, doing work on His behalf. We also looked at the Preparation
Process the Bride partakes in, in the form of the Feast Cycle, so that She can
be refined for the Great Day.
Emor means to speak, and YHVH speaks His creation words over us during
these Appointed Times so that He can recreate or restore within us, what He
purposed for us. Every week, during the Appointed time of the Sabbath, as well
as the yearly Festivals, YHVH speaks (amor), those who are present will
receive these creation words and be transformed into His Likeness, every time
a bit more, as they go through these cycles year after year.

Maintaining the Lampstand

Lev 24:1-4 And YHVH spake unto Moses,
saying, 2 Command the children of Israel, that
they bring unto thee pure olive oil, beaten for
the light, to cause the lamps to burn
continually. 3 Without the vail of the testimony,
in the tabernacle of the congregation, shall
Aaron order it from the evening unto the
morning before YHVH continually: it shall be a
statute for ever in your generations. 4 He shall
order the lamps upon the pure candlestick
before YHVH continually.
YHVH commanded the Children of Israel to bring pure oil, beaten from olives, to
be for fuel for the lamps or lights of the Menorah, so that it can burn continually.
The Lampstand in the Congregation is also found in the Book of Revelation,
where John reveals the Lampstands within the Seven Churches, each having a
Lampstand or Menorah in their midst.
Q What does the Menorah represent in the Congregation, specifically as
referenced to in Revelation?

The Menorah gives light in the Tabernacle and is

YHVH
Lampstand can be associated with the seven

attributes of the Spirit of YHVH or the seven steps

dge
His Spirit takes us through to drew near to the
Father.
Isa 11:1-2 There shall come forth a Rod
from the stem of Jesse, And a Branch shall
grow out of his roots. 2 The Spirit of
YHVH shall rest upon Him, The Spirit of
wisdom and understanding, The Spirit of
counsel and might, The Spirit of knowledge
and of the fear of YHVH.
The seven attributes of the Spirit of YHVH are the steps of how we enter into a
relationship with Him, approaching the Father from the outside-in through the
help of His Spirit.
Spiritual Application: The first step is to know about God, that He is real
and exist, and what He did for us, this knowledge allows you to make a
decision to follow Him. As you get to know YHVH, you learn to fear and
respect Him; these are the initial steps know as coming to faith or be
born again. The next step is to receive His Spirit and His Anointing that
will give you the strength to follow His Counsel, that is His Word. As you
walk with YHVH, knowing and following His Word, you gain wisdom and
understanding in the things of YHVH and grow closer and closer into a
personal relationship with the Father.
If you find a burning Menorah in the midst of a Congregation, it means that the
people in that congregation are continually providing freshly beaten oil for fuel
for the Lamp, so that there can be light in the midst of that Congregation.
Q How does this affect me as a member of the Congregation?
This implies that everyone who sees himself or herself as a child of Israel,
need to be actively busy beating olives, to provide oil or fuel for the lamp.
Relating the Lampstand to YHVHs Spirit shows us that His Spirit will only be
present and shining in our midst if we beat the olives and bring the oil to the
Tabernacle or Place of meeting. This teaches us that the members can allow
His Spirit or restrict YHVHs Spirit to shine or function within the
Congregation. YHVHs Spirit is enabled through the fuel we provide so that He
can work in and through the members of the Body of Messiah. This is one of the
most important actions the Bride has to do while living in the House of His
Master; she must provide oil for this Lampstand. If there is no oil, there will be
no light, and Her lamp will not burn in the window as She awaits Her Groom.
We will now look at what it means to beat the olive and what the oil represent
and what we must do to keep the Menorah burning in our midst since we are
the last Church as described in the Book of Revelation; Laodecia, the luke-
warm church which is poor, naked and weak.

2
Beat is the Hebrew word kathiyth that means beaten out, pure, pounded fine
(in a mortar). This word is always associated
with the beaten oil of the Menorah or used for
the drink offering, except in 1 Kings 5:11, it is
about a deal Solomon made with Hiram, the king
of Tyre, to provide materials and skilled
labourers, for the construction of the First
Temple. Solomon, in return, gave Hiram pure
olive oil as payment for the materials and
services.
Hiram means noble and comes from the root word chavar that means; to
grow white, become pale and is associated with white linen and a symbol of
holiness.
Solomon gave Hiram oil, and Hiram provided the materials and the labourers to
construct the House of YHVH. This sounds similar to the passage in Lev 24
where the children of Israel provided the oil and then there will be light.
Without pure oil, Hiram would not have provided the means to build the House.
Without the pure oil, there will be no light in the House.
Spiritual Application: Hiram is a picture of YHVHs Spirit that helps us to
become white, righteous and Holy, and He provides the materials and the
labourers to construct the House of YHVH. All we have to do is to provide the
oil to fund this building project. Hiram supplied skilled labourers as well as
cedar wood and wood from fir trees.
Cedar Wood: Cedar is the word erez that is first found in Scripture in Lev
chapter 14 explaining the cleansing of the leper and the cleansing of a house
that was contaminated with leprosy. We have looked at this in detail in
Parashah 28. The Cedarwood is used in the Cleansing Ritual that consisted of
two birds, water, scarlet, hyssop and cedar wood. The one bird is killed, and its
blood is mixed with the water, the live bird was tied to the Cedar, with the
hyssop and scarlet, dipped and then sprinkled on the leper or the House so that
it can be declared clean. The live bird stained in blood was set free.
Erez comes from the root word araz that means
to be firm that is another way of saying to have
faith or to stand in faith. It is first found in Scripture
in Eze 27, in the context the Tyrus or Tyre, the seat
of immense wealth and power, situated on the coast
of the Mediterranean. Tyres builders have perfected
her beauty with her borders reaching the sea where
all the merchants pass through. The builders
constructed ships from Fir trees and used Cedars for
the masts.
Spiritual Application: We see the purpose of the building of the House in
the meaning of the Cedar, as well as the wood used as building material
for the ships of Tyre and the Temple. These ships were used to move
merchandise across the ocean. The sea is a symbol of the nations, and
the ships is a symbol of reaching out to the people in the nations, the
same concept Yshua explained when He called His Disciples, fishers of
men.

3
 These ships are linked to the Temple or House, that needs to be
constructed so that people of the House can be equipped to reach the
nations. It is not constructed for comfort and beauty, but to be effective
wherever it exists, wherever your ship is sailing.
Another conclusion we can draw from Cedar wood in connection with the
Cleansing Ritual of the Leper, as well as a House that is contaminated
with Leprosy. The Spirit of YHVH assists in the cleansing process of the
Bride in the House so that they can go out into the world and win souls for
the Kingdom. Leprous Believers in Messiah needs to be cleansed so that
they can be received back into the House to go back into the boat and be
fishers of men.
Fir Wood: Fir is the Hebrew word berosh that
means noble tree, cypress or pine tree. This
word is first found in Scripture in 2 Sam 6:5
where it describes the music instruments used
by David, that is made from Fir tree wood. The
context of this story is where David and his
musicians praised YHVH at the returning of the
Ark of the Covenant to Jerusalem. The Ark
toppled, Uzzah grabbed it and died. David was
afraid to take the Ark any further and stored it in
the house of Obet-Edom, the Gittite for three
months. During that time, YHVH blessed Obed-Edom and his household.
Spiritual Application: We see another link to the building of the House
that is connected to musical instruments as well as the Ark of the
Covenant or Presence of YHVH. David and His musicians praised YHVH
with instruments made from Fir wood as they return the Presence of
YHVH back into His House. The House of YHVH is a House of praising
YHVH, and we are created for that very purpose; to praise Him continually.
YHVH inhabits the praises of His people [Ps 22:3], and our praises are like
furnishings that beautify His House.
Blessings and Curses: There are blessings and curses associated with
the House of YHVH as connected to the events where Obed-Edom was
blessed while Uzzah died. The curse came upon Uzzah for touching the
Ark when he was not permitted to do so, in other words, he was not
anointed to fulfil that function within the House. Only the Priesthood were
allowed to touch and handle the Ark. The Spirit of YHVH anoints certain
people to perform certain tasks in His House and if someone, especially if
not part of the Priesthood or Bride, come into the House and do things that
they are not anointed to do, they bring a curse upon themselves. We have
previously looked at the Standards for the Priesthood, which defines or
disqualifies you as a Priest, that allows you to perform tasks in YHVHs
House. Obed-Edom, on the other hand, was not part of the Priesthood, he
received a blessing by just being in the Presence of YHVH. This shows us
the third purpose of the Hosue of YHVH; to bless those who come in from
the nations into the House of YHVH, to learn His Ways as facilitated by the
Priesthood or the Bride in the Light of YHVHs Spirit.

4
We have now seen what function YHVHs Spirit fulfils and learned why the
House needs to be constructed through the Work of YHVHs Spirit. Now we
will look at the process of producing the oil in our lives to get a deeper
understanding of the work and the part we have to play in the Construction of
the House as well as the Purpose of the House.
To summarise, the Purpose of the House is:
Your house is like a ship that sails throughout the nations (sea) wherever
the wind (Ruach Spirit) takes you. Wherever you are, lower your nets
and shine His Holiness.
Your house then extend into the Nations and bring people into the
Larger House through pulling in the nets as soon as someone swims
into it, then help them into the Boat (Kingdom).
The new fish enters the House and go through a cleansing process,
removing their leprosy.
New believers enter the house and experience YHVHs Blessings in His
Presence, learning His Ways.
YHVHs House is a place of praise so that we can experience His
Presence and Blessings.
The Hosue has to have a Priesthood that facilitates YHVHs ways to the
people, complying with the standards of the Priesthood.
The Purpose of YHVHs Spirit is:
His Spirit builds the House by providing the workers. YHVH will send
people to a particular place to assemble with fellow Believers to function
as the Body of Messiah. Ever wondered why you ended up in a certain
Congregation?
His Spirit maintains the House by identifying when there is Leprosy on
His people or in His House. His Spirit will then take these people through
an isolation process where they will be going through introspection and
repentance before allowed back into the House. This process is
facilitated through a conviction of the heart or through situations that you
go through. The result is your purification and reestablishment as part of
the Priesthood.
YHVHs Spirit makes His people white or makes you Holy unto Him
and helps you to keep your garment (actions) clean for preparation as
the Bride and to be effectively be used as His Priesthood.

The Construction of Bethel House of Elohim

Each one of us is a dwelling place or Temple of
YHVH. YHVHs Spirit (Hiram) is doing construction
work within me so that I can be converted into a
dwelling place or house for Yshua and the Father.
John 14:23 Yshua answered and said to
him, If anyone loves Me, he will keep My Word;
and My Father will love him, and We will come
to him and make Our home with him. 24 He who
does not love Me does not keep My words; and
the word which you hear is not Mine but the Fathers who sent Me.

5
What we learned earlier is that the House is constructed when Hiram (YHVHs
Spirit) receives fresh oil. This verse tells us that the House is constructed when
you Keep YHVHs Commandments. This links the two thoughts that keeping the
Commandments is a way of supplying oil so that the House can be
constructed. These Commandments are not new Commandments or
Commandments that Yshua added on top of what is already in the Torah.
Yshua is the Word of YHVH that became flesh, and He is the embodiment of
the Torah or the Commandments, and when He refers to His Commandments,
He refers to the Torah. Looking at the concept of pure olive oil that is created by
a beating process, gives you the idea that you will go through a beating
process as part of the construction process taking place in you. To find out
what is involved in this beating process, we will look at the words; olive and oil
to get a deeper understanding.
Olive: Olive is the Hebrew word that comes from the root word zif
that means brightness that is found in 1 Kings 6:1 that speaks of
the month of Zif (2nd month, the month after Nissan Biblical
New Year) in the fourth year of Solomons reign, in the time
when the construction of the 1st Temple began.
Oil is the Hebrew word shemen that is first found in Scripture in
Gen 28:28 where Jacob had the dream of the ladder. The next morning he
constructed a pillar of stone, taking the stones he used as a pillow. He poured
oil over this pillar as a personal memorial, and named the place Beth-El or
House of Elohim. Oil is a sign of prosperity as seen in the root word of
shemen, that is shaman that means, to become fat or prosperous.
Pillar or personal memorial comes from the root word nastav that means to
stand or to appoint. This is where the concept of anointing with oil originates
from, where oil is used to anoint or appoint someone for a specific purpose, for
example, the Priesthood.
Putting it all together: YHVHs Spirit is constructing or
converting us into a dwelling place for the Father and the Son.
Oil is required as payment for the exchange of the labourers
and the materials. Oil is produced by a beating process, and
His Word or Commandments are the Blueprint or Plan that
governs the building process. John made the link between the
oil producing process and keeping YHVHs Commandments.
The oil that is poured on the pillar reveals to us the anointing
process where YHVHs Spirit anoint or appoint us to fulfil a
function in His House. The pillar is related to Jacobs experience
where He connected with YHVH, thus meaning that the
anointing of the Spirit, reconnects you to the Father that officially
makes you a Bethel or the House of Elohim.

Summary: The Oil that you bring is in the following ways:

1. Know YHVHs Word and obey His Commandments.
2. Ask YHVH to anoint you and appoint you with a Purpose in His Kingdom
then walk in it. (See detail in the Section called Gifts of the Spirit)
3. Receive the Spirit of YHVH and have a re-connection with the Father
so that you can have a personal relationship with Him.

6
 4. Allow YHVHs Spirit to make you white so that you can be Holy and
shine forth His Brightness through your life.

The Collective House of Elohim

We have looked at the House of YHVH from a personal perspective, but the
Larger House or Collective House is constructed of living stones, that is also
known as the Priesthood. These stones are the smaller houses that are
placed together to make up and created the Collective House of YHVH also
known as the Body of Messiah or Assembly (Church).
1 Pet 2:5 you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual
house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to
YHVH through Yshua the Messiah.
There is a Plan or Blueprint that connect these Stones together, each one in its
place so that it will form a House according to YHVHs Larger Plan.
This Blueprint Plan is revealed to us through the Gifts of YHVHs Spirit, and
every Gift is given by His Sprit as He pleases, according to His Plan, not
according to what we desire.
The first place the idea of Gifts is seen is where YHVH made Moses leader or
Prophet over Israel whereafter He anointed Aaron as Hight Priest. Then YHVH
anointed the seventy elders to help Moses to govern the people, giving them
the giftings of Prophecy and Words of Wisdom to judge situations and resolve
practical issues within the House.
Num 11:16-17 YHVH answered Moses, Bring Me 70 men from Israel
known to you as elders and officers of the people. Take them to the tent of
meeting and have them stand there with you. 17 Then I will come down
and speak with you there. I will take some of the Spirit who is on you and
put the Spirit on them. They will help you bear the burden of the people so
that you do not have to bear it by yourself.
This is the model is similar to the one found in the First Century Church where
Yshua is the Head or Leader, Prophet and High Priest as seen in the roles of
Moses and Aaron. Then there were the Elders, also known as the Priesthood,
people within the Body of Messiah, who were anointed by YHVHs Spirit to fulfil
certain tasks within the House so that everything will run smoothly and function
successfully.

Filled with the Spirit

If you are filled with the Spirit, you are equipped to do the work of YHVH within
the House of YHVH.
Exo 31:3-5 And I have filled him with the Spirit of Elohim, in wisdom,
and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all workmanship, (4) to
devise designs; to work in gold, and in silver, and in bronze, (5) and in
cutting of stones, to set them , and in carving of timber, to work in all
workmanship.
The same concept is found in the Berit Chadashah (NT) where followers of
Yshua were filled with the Spirit of YHVH.

7
 Act 9:17 And Ananias went and entered into the house. And putting his
hands on him, he said, Brother Saul, the Master, Yshua, who appeared to
you in the way in which you came, has sent me to you that you might see
and be filled with the Holy Spirit.
The Hebrew word for "filled" is alm "mala" and is found in Ex 31:3. This word
has the following meanings: to fill, fullness, fully, installation (of priests), setting
of stones (building), to be armed, to be satisfied, to be accomplished (fulfil),
setting (jewel).
Spiritual Application: To be filled with YHVHs Spirit is the process where
every stone or person is set in a particular place within the walls of the
House. Everyone that forms part of that House is equipped to fulfil a
particular function and to be armed and ready to withstand any attack
from the enemy. To be filled means to beautify as seen in one of the
meanings of the word mala (filled) that is the setting of jewels.
Another place where these precious stones are found is in the
Breastplate of the High Priest (Yshua). To be filled means to be stones in
the House and be precious stones in the breastplate and be part of the
twelve Jewels or twelve tribes of Israel.

When you construct a Temple, you will need bricks and cement or mortar. Brick
is the word malbane ]blm and mortar are the words mehlet ulm. Both
these words as well as the word mala (filled), starts with the word mal lm,

that comes from the word mila hlm, that means; word, utterance, and

command. This is linked to the word melek, ;lm that means, King and
counsel.
Spiritual Application: The bricks and the mortar represent the words
of the King that is required to hold the stones or bricks together so that
YHVHs House will stand firm, not cracking, not falling apart. We hear His
Voice through the Anointing of His Spirit and through the understanding
and interpretation of His Word that leads to obeying of His Word.

Gifts of the Spirit

The Gifts of the Spirit are there to equip the people chosen by YHVH, to
become a House He can indwell. When you are born again, you become a
stone that is laid in position by His Spirit. Some have the gifting to help with the
construction. In other words, some stones are builders, and there are the stones
that need to be directed. As you grow into spiritual maturity, YHVH will
transform you from just being a stone, into a builder as His sees fit.
The Gifts of the Spirit are presented together with the five-fold ministry that
represents twelve functions or roles within the House of Elohim.

8
 1. Apostles & Evangelists
2. Prophets Prophecy
3. Shepherds - Leadership
4. Teachers
5. Tongues and Interpretation Spiritual
warfare & Prayer
6. Word of Wisdom & Knowledge
7. Faith, Workers of Miracles and healings
8. Hospitality & Helpers
9. Giving - providing
10. Distinguishing between spirits
11. Mercy, look after sick orphans, widows and poor
12. Exhortation, Encouragement (Prayer & Intersession)
These Gifts can be associated with the twelve precious stones in the
Breastplate of the High Priest that are the twelve anointings YHVH releases on
His people so that they can serve as His Priesthood in His Temple.
Eph 1:23 (We are) Which is His body, the fullness of Him Who fills all in
all [for in that body lives the full measure of Him Who makes everything
complete, and Who fills everything everywhere with Himself].
The purpose of the Gifts is to anoint YHVHs people within a Congregation so
that they can represent the fullness of Him, wherever they are unified together.

1. Apostles & Evangelists: Apostle means sent one, one who is sent
with a particular message. This was the last instruction to Yshuas
Disciples before He returned to the Father.
Matt 28:19-20 Go therefore and make disciples of all the
nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son
and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all things that I
have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the
end of the age. Amen.
(The part of the verse in grey is not in the original text and means that we are to
baptise new Disciples into the Name of Yshua as stipulated in Acts 19:5)

2. Prophets Prophecy is the word that comes

from the root word naba that means under
the influence of divine Spirit, to write, speak
or sing under inspiration. Prophecy also
relates to seeing visions and dream dreams
that contain symbols and messages which
can be interpreted. Every prophetic utterance
needs to be tested against the Word. If a
prophetic word contradicts the Torah, then
the prophecy is not inspired by the Spirit of
YHVH. Prophetic visions and dreams need to be interpreted and
confirmed by more than one witness.
2 Pet 1:19-20 We also have the message of the prophets, which
has been confirmed beyond doubt. And you will do well to pay
attention to this message, as to a lamp shining in a dark place,
until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your

9
 hearts. 20Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of
Scripture comes from the prophets own interpretation.
Warning: There are many false prophets and Prophecy one of the most
desired Gifts in the Body of Messiah today. There are even Schools that
teaches people to become prophets, and that is not
Scriptural. Paul tells us that not all can become Prophets. When
someone made a prediction and said, YHVH told them, test and see if
the prophecy comes to pass, if not, then that person is a false prophet. In
the old days, false prophets were to be sentenced to death and cut off
from YHVHs people. The problem was that the real Prophets of YHVH
were killed by rebellious Kings. These Prophetic words generally told the
King his sin and that he needs to repent. If he refused to listen, then the
Prophet would tell him his future that typically did not end very well.
Prophecies are usually not to predict the future but to speak the Words of
YHVH to the His people that are relevant to them at that time.
3. Shepherds Shepherds are Leaders who lead and see to the needs of
the flock or Congregation. A true Shepherd will love
his people and lay down his life for them. True
Shepherds are called, and you will notice a
difference between some of them who chose to
become a Shepherd but was never chosen.
You can choose and study to become a Pastor if
you like but the problem with this is that a System
will teach you to become a Leader and Teacher.
Some Institutions uses curriculums that are based
on worldly business principles that change to focus on numbers and
money, converting YHVHs House into a Business.
4. Teachers Teachers are gifted through YHVHs
Spirit to know, understand and teach YHVHs
Word. As discussed earlier, Teachers cannot learn
or study to become Teachers, presentation and
communication techniques do help, but the content
of the teaching will be missing if not inspired by
YHVH.
True Teachers do not confuse people and always try to speak within the
context of Scripture, make sure there are no contradictions and stick to
the Truth without sugar coatings or tickling of the ear messages.
5. Tongues and Interpretation Spiritual warfare & Prayer This is one
of the Gifts that is placed on the do not touch shelf, because of the
counterfeit gift of tongues that exists today. Just like the word Anti-
Messiah, that means in the place of Messiah, there is an in the place
of Tongues gift, that takes the place of the real Gift. The Gift of Tongues
is very closely related to Prophecy and need to be interpreted to give the
actual meaning of the Words that comes from YHVH.
1 Cor 14:5 I wish you all spoke with tongues, but even more that
you prophesied; for he who prophesies is greater than he
who speaks with tongues, unless indeed he interprets, that the
church may receive edification.

10
 Tongues without interpretation should not be allowed in the Congregation
and will only cause confusion and disorder. Disorder should not be
allowed while exercising the Gifts and must adhere to the fruit of the Sprit
namely, self-control. If someone has the Gift of Tongues, they can use
it in privacy for the edification of your spirit, for spiritual edification. [Jude
1:20]. Tongues used in private is a form of spiritual warfare where the
Words of YHVH is spoken into the situation or people you are currently
involved in. Speaking in Tongues are similar to the Creation Words
YHVH spoke after the revelation of Light. These words are to express
creative power into every situation to re-create or restore every fallen
state in your life. Real Tongues will sound like a language where the
counterfeit language will only be sounds and noises.
6. Word of Wisdom & Knowledge This Gift is closely related to
Prophecy and falls in the same category since it is based on divine
revelation from YHVH.This Gift reveals information to resolve
situations or to give guidance when people need direction.
Just like with Prophecy, you need a second witness before you
can know it is from YHVH. The witness can come either from
Scripture or another person who reveals the same wisdom.
Do not react to only one word you received from
someone, if it was not already in your heart and
confirmed by this word, this will only lead to
confusion and misdirection.
Warning: It is very easy for people to say; The Lord told me or I feel
the Lord is telling me and you act on these words because someone
heard from God. Always test a person by their fruits their words so that
you will not be misled by someone whos house is not in order. People
can me led through His Gifts or misled by individuals who are wolves in
sheeps clothing, stating to have His Anointing.
7. Faith, Workers of Miracles and healings This is an essential Gift,
especially when working with unbelievers. Miracles are not there to
entertain those who already follow Messiah; miracles are to show the
sceptics that YHVH is real and that He exist. There are counterfeit signs
and wonders, that will be performed by false Messiahs and false
prophets. Know them by their fruit; if they obey and live according to
YHVHs Commandments or if they practice lawlessness.
Matt 7:21 Not everyone who says to Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter
the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in
heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we
not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and
done many wonders in Your name?23 And then I will declare to
them, I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice
lawlessness!
8. Hospitality & Helpers This is the Gift that is usually not recognised or
appreciated because it is not as flashy as the other where you are
visible to the people. This gifting normally has a tremendous love for
YHVHs people and has a servant's, heart. This function is essential to
the facilitation of the events like the celebration of the Festivals.

11
 They set up the facilities and the atmosphere to make the House of
YHVH a warm and welcoming place.
9. Giving providing This Gift speaks for itself and is the anointing of
YHVH on certain people that empower them to be blessed in the
Business world and provide for the Kingdom. You are never blessed for
yourself but always blessed to be a blessing to others.
10. Distinguishing between spirits People with this gifting can discern
and expose false spirits that come into the Congregation. This gift is to
watch out for and protect the flock against the tactics of the enemy tat
operated through fake members in their midst.

11. Mercy, look after sick orphans, widows and poor This is the Gift
that shows compassion and reaches out a helping hand to those who are
needy and sick. They have a compassionate heart and love to work with
needy people, teaching them to stand up on their feet again.
12. Exhortation, Encouragement (Prayer &
Intersession) Some believers have the urge
to pray and intercede for situations and people.
They can spend hours in prayer without breaking
a sweat and have a desire to spend time in
YHVH's presence. This is a unique Gift that
required a lot of personal time and is a Gift that
is necessary to safeguard and protect the
Community against attacks from the enemy. This
Gift typically goes hand in hand with the Gift of Tongues where people
pray in the Spirit, speaking YHVHs words into a situation, apart from the
interference of man.

In conclusion, we have looked at the building of the smaller houses, that is you
and me so that YHVH can live within us. We learn what the function and
purpose of the Spirit if YHVH is as well as our function to provide the oil. After
that we looked at the larger House the Assembly or Congregation where
YHVH build us up in His Body through the Gifts of the Spirit. You need to ask
YHVH what Gifts He has for you so that He can anoint you to start working in
His House as a member of His Priesthood.
