The Lampstand Made of Pure Gold
Exodus 37:17~24 Their calyxes and their branches were of one piece with it. The whole of it was a single piece of hammered work of pure gold. And he made its seven lamps and its tongs and its trays of pure gold. He made it and all its utensils out of a talent of pure gold.

God instructed the Israelites who were walking on the wilderness path to build the Tabernacle and to make a lampstand that would shine light inside of it. God had the Levites keep the lamp of prayer lit and those who lived inside the tents were directed to pray as they looked toward the lamp. In addition, while the Israelites were walking on the wilderness path, God made them pray and be led by the lamp. Likewise, the Triune God is with His children as the light. Wherever His children go, the background of Heaven will be established and darkness will break down. What is the blessing of the light that children of God must enjoy?
1. Let the Light of God Be Established in You
The lampstand represents the light of creation, the light of glory, and the light of life that shine the mystery of Christ. When this light is established in you, you’ll enjoy the mysteries of Christ who is the prophet, priest, and king in order to overcome darkness. This is the blessing of the light that children of God must enjoy.
2. Do Not Let This Light Extinguish
There was a reason why God kept the lampstand inside the temple. The light of Christ had to be relayed eternally. While walking on the wilderness path, God let the Israelites see the light of Jehovah in order to cross the Jordan River, break down the Wall of Jericho, and gain victory in the battle against the united forces of Amorites. Moreover, possessing the eternal light of Jehovah, they had to enter the land of Canaan. God gave them the blessing of shining the light of Christ to the entire world.
The temple that shines the light of Christ to the entire world is important. The temple that shines the light to the 237 nations; relays the light of healing; and provides a place where Remnants can gather and receive the answer of the Summit is needed. Starting today, pray to light the lamps of the church and to shine the light of Christ.
[Covenantal Prayer] Dear God, help me to prepare in order to light the lamp of the church. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

[Deep Questions]
Q. What Are the Blessings of the Seven Prayers That You Must Enjoy?
Covenantal Prayer
Whenever incidents arise, you must make a choice. Choosing the covenant in every circumstance is the beginning of prayer. If you find the God-given answer, you’ll wholeheartedly give thanksgiving.
Worship Prayer
Through worship, hold onto prayer and enjoy it every day.
Scheduled Prayer
If you hold onto the covenant and go deep within prayer, you’ll confess, “This is the answer prepared by God.”
24- Hour Prayer
Are you facing any conflicts? God is with you even now.
25- Hour Prayer
If you enjoy the blessing of God being with you, God’s power will be established. If you enjoy the background of God’s Kingdom, you will transcend your power and God’s power will be revealed.
Future Prayer
If you clearly possess God-given things, they’ll undoubtedly come as answers. Enjoying them as yours right now is the C.V.D.I.P.
Witness Prayer
It is absolutely impossible with your own strength. However, God says that it is absolutely possible. You’ll enjoy the blessing of a witness who relays the Gospel that was given to you.
Saving the 237 nations and enjoying the blessings of healing and Summit are works that God will accomplish. Therefore, all you have to do is communicate with Him through prayer.
