Exodus 25: 31 “Make a lampstand of pure gold. Hammer out its base and shaft, and make its flowerlike cups, buds and blossoms of one piece with them”.
The second object in the Holy Place is the lampstand. It was made of solid gold and was the only source of light in the Holy Place. It was artistically designed with cups shaped like almond flowers with the specifications that Moses received on the mountain of the Lord. The oil that kept the lampstand burning was pure olive oil. “Command the people of Israel to bring you pure oil of pressed olives for the light, to keep the lamps burning continually” (Exodus 27:20).
The pure solid gold lampstand and the burning light is the typology of Christ Jesus who is the light of the world. The pure olive oil that fuels the lampstand is the work of the Holy Spirit who keeps the flames of our faith burning bright. This is our 5th prayer station where the scripture that we read will become revelation in our hearts and fuels our faith. As we read the Word, the Holy Spirit will expound the scriptures and reveal the nature of God and the hidden secrets of the scriptures to us. “Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?” (Luke 24:32). Read and wait for the Holy Spirit to elucidate and edify you with deep revelations. Here at the 5th stop we must wait in silence for the Holy Spirit to speak to us and enlighten us with wisdom and revelation.
Prayer Station-5:
1. Explain: The Holy Spirit is the pure pressed olive oil. The Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to (John 14:26).
2. Enlighten: The Word will enlighten us to shine for Him. Jesus said, we are the light of the world and we must shine in the dark world (Matthew 5:14-16).
3. Empower: The Holy Spirit will empower us with deep revelation of the scriptures that no commentaries or library can teach us.
At the fifth prayer station the Holy Spirit enlightens our soul with wisdom and revelation.
Prayer: Sweet Jesus, you are my only source of light; enlighten me with revelation and empower me with wisdom. Amen.
