Tabernacle | Pt.2 Tabernacle Prayer

Introduction

This tutorial focuses on the concept of Tabernacle Prayer as discussed in the second part of the series by Revitalize Church. The aim is to provide a structured approach to enhance your prayer life using the Tabernacle model, which emphasizes intimacy with God and spiritual growth.

Step 1: Understand the Tabernacle Model

• Familiarize yourself with the layout and significance of the Tabernacle in biblical context.
• Recognize that the Tabernacle represents a way to approach God through various stages:
  • Outer Court: Represents entering into God’s presence with thanksgiving and praise.
  • Holy Place: Symbolizes deeper communion and worship.
  • Most Holy Place: Signifies the ultimate intimacy with God.

Step 2: Enter the Outer Court

• Start your prayer by expressing gratitude and praise.
• Use scripture to guide your thanksgiving. For example:
  • Psalm 100:4 encourages entering His gates with thanksgiving.
• Spend a few moments reflecting on what you are thankful for.

Step 3: Move to the Holy Place

• Transition into a time of worship and confession.
• Incorporate worship music or hymns to enhance your focus on God.
• Confess any sins and seek God’s forgiveness to cleanse your heart.
  • Consider using 1 John 1:9 as a reminder of His faithfulness to forgive.

Step 4: Approach the Most Holy Place

• Engage in deep intercessory prayer.
• Pray for others, your community, or specific needs in your life.
• Listen for God’s guidance and direction during this time.
  • Take notes of any thoughts or impressions that come to mind.

Step 5: Reflect and Conclude Your Prayer

• Spend a few moments in silence, allowing God’s presence to fill you.
• Thank God for the time spent in prayer and His responses.
• Consider journaling your thoughts and what you’ve learned from this prayer experience.

Practical Tips

• Set aside dedicated time for Tabernacle Prayer, free from distractions.
• Use a prayer journal to track your prayers and God’s responses over time.
• Be consistent in your approach, allowing the structure to deepen your prayer life.

Common Pitfalls to Avoid

• Rushing through the steps without genuine reflection or connection.
• Focusing solely on requests rather than on worship and gratitude.
• Neglecting to listen for God’s voice during prayer.

Conclusion

Tabernacle Prayer offers a structured way to approach God, enhancing your spiritual journey and intimacy with Him. Consider incorporating this model into your daily prayer routine for a more profound and meaningful experience. As you practice, you may find new depths in your relationship with God and greater clarity in your prayers.
