The enemy has sent unrelenting pressure lately to weary many, causing some to doubt God's goodness.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If this is you, what once felt easy may suddenly seem tedious or overwhelming. You may have little motivation; your soul may feel dry and brittle. The battles with self and sin may have drained you of energy, and the joy of prayer seems to have been snuffed out.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">To illustrate this, the Lord took me into a vision of the tabernacle as I prayed.&nbsp;<strong>The Old Testament tabernacle is a vivid picture of the believer's heart, each element representing not just a function or progression of worship, but also aspects of who believers are.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">To enter the Holy Place\u2014the place of prayer\u2014priests had to first present burnt offerings for sin in the outer court. Sacrificial blood was then sprinkled on the elements within the tabernacle, including the altar of incense (prayer) and the ark of the covenant (the mercy seat).&nbsp;<em>(Photo via Wikimedia Commons)<\/em><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"subtitle\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">He's Going to Reignite Your Lamp<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>In this vision, the Lord focused my eyes not on the altars, but on the golden lampstand.&nbsp; &nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/elijahlist.com\/words\/display_word.html?ID=32397\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">READ MORE<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>","fulltext":"","state":1,"catid":"8","created":"2025-04-07 13:30:24","created_by":"873","created_by_alias":"","modified":"2025-04-07 13:30:54","modified_by":"873","checked_out":"873","checked_out_time":"2025-04-07 13:30:47","publish_up":"2025-04-07 13:30:24","publish_down":"0000-00-00 00:00:00","images":"{\"image_intro\":\"\",\"float_intro\":\"\",\"image_intro_alt\":\"\",\"image_intro_caption\":\"\",\"image_fulltext\":\"\",\"float_fulltext\":\"\",\"image_fulltext_alt\":\"\",\"image_fulltext_caption\":\"\"}","urls":"{\"urla\":false,\"urlatext\":\"\",\"targeta\":\"\",\"urlb\":false,\"urlbtext\":\"\",\"targetb\":\"\",\"urlc\":false,\"urlctext\":\"\",\"targetc\":\"\"}","attribs":"{\"article_layout\":\"\",\"show_title\":\"\",\"link_titles\":\"\",\"show_tags\":\"\",\"show_intro\":\"\",\"info_block_position\":\"\",\"info_block_show_title\":\"\",\"show_category\":\"\",\"link_category\":\"\",\"show_parent_category\":\"\",\"link_parent_category\":\"\",\"show_associations\":\"\",\"show_author\":\"\",\"link_author\":\"\",\"show_create_date\":\"\",\"show_modify_date\":\"\",\"show_publish_date\":\"\",\"show_item_navigation\":\"\",\"show_icons\":\"\",\"show_print_icon\":\"\",\"show_email_icon\":\"\",\"show_vote\":\"\",\"show_hits\":\"\",\"show_noauth\":\"\",\"urls_position\":\"\",\"alternative_readmore\":\"\",\"article_page_title\":\"\",\"show_publishing_options\":\"\",\"show_article_options\":\"\",\"show_urls_images_backend\":\"\",\"show_urls_images_frontend\":\"\"}","version":2,"ordering":"0","metakey":"","metadesc":"","access":"1","hits":"0","metadata":"{\"robots\":\"\",\"author\":\"\",\"rights\":\"\",\"xreference\":\"\"}","featured":"1","language":"*","xreference":"","note":""}
