The Tabernacle was the moving Temple of Israel on the pilgrimage to the Promised Land. Among the many utensils was the lampstand of pure gold.

God commanded that its seven branches were continually lit. For this reason, the priests would have to put pure olive oil into it continuously. (Exodus 27.20)

Under the New Covenant, everyone born of God is a traveling Temple of the Holy Spirit toward the heavens. This new temple, like the Tabernacle, also needs the oil to remain lit. His light can never go out, because it represents the Presence of God.

The priests took turns so the Temple would never be in the dark. The oil could not end. It was a constant sacrifice.

The flames of the lampstand today are our living and active faith. A rational, intelligent and supernatural faith that demands the sacrifice of a person’s will.

To maintain this faith, it is necessary for a permanent sacrifice of “self” in benefit of the will of God.

If we do a survey of why so many believers’ fire has burnt out, we will see the lack of light. This is the absence of the Spirit.

And there is a lack of light because there is a lack of pure oil.

Without fuel, there is no fire. Without fire, there is no light, and then there is darkness…
