Burn

 

Let us burn
continually

as lamps before
the Lord

pressed down
and overflowing

with His anointed
oil.

**********

Lord, I long for Your Holy Spirit fire to burn continually in me.

“Command the children of Israel to bring to you clear oil from beaten olives for the light [of the golden lampstand ], to make a lamp burn continually.”

“He shall keep the lamps burning in the pure gold lampstand before the LORD continually. [Rev. 1:12-18] “

Leviticus 24:2,4 AMP

Burning Continually

 

As the oil
fueled the lamp

that burned
continually

so Holy Spirit
ignites a flame

that shines
eternally.

**********

My Light is continually with me.

“And you shall command the children of Israel that they bring you pure oil of pressed olives for the light, to cause the lamp to burn continually.”

Exodus 27:20. NKJV

Anointing Oil

“It shall be a holy anointing oil.”  Exodus 30:25
“It shall not be poured on man’s flesh.”  Exodus 30:32

The holy anointing oil was made from quality spices – myrrh, sweet-smelling cinnamon, sweet-smelling cane, cassia, and olive oil.  It was compounded according to the art of the perfumer and used to anoint the tabernacle, the ark, the table,  the lampstand, utensils, laver and altars.  Even Aaron and his sons.

Thank You, Lord, for anointing us today with Your Holy Spirit.  While You can’t anoint our flesh that rebels against You, You can and do anoint Yourself in us.  Here’s a simple poem . . .

Pour Over Us

Oh Holy Spirit come
and anoint us now
for the work which we must do
show us when and where and how.
