“Carrying The Ark Of God, Carrying The Spirit Of God”
Reference: 1 Chronicles Chapter 13
The Spirit of God will only be carried by the Word of God.
The Ark of God, a type of the Spirit of God, was to be carried only by the priests who were a type of Christ Who is the Word of God.
Numbers 4:15 “And when Aaron and his sons have made an end of covering the sanctuary, and all the vessels of the sanctuary, as the camp is to set forward; after that, the sons of Kohath shall come to bear it: but they shall not touch any holy thing, lest they die. These things are the burden of the sons of Kohath in the tabernacle of the congregation.”
The Lord commanded Moses, and Moses passed it on to Joshua.
Joshua 3:7-8,17 “And the LORD said unto Joshua, This day will I begin to magnify thee in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that, as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee. [8] And thou shalt command the priests that bear the ark of the covenant, saying, When ye are come to the brink of the water of Jordan, ye shall stand still in Jordan. [17] And the priests that bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD stood firm on dry ground in the midst of Jordan, and all the Israelites passed over on dry ground, until all the people were passed clean over Jordan.”
This knowledge did not reach David.
Let’s read:
1 Chronicles 13:1-7 “And David consulted with the captains of thousands and hundreds, and with every leader. [2] And David said unto all the congregation of Israel, If it seem good unto you, and that it be of the LORD our God, let us send abroad unto our brethren every where, that are left in all the land of Israel, and with them also to the priests and Levites which are in their cities and suburbs, that they may gather themselves unto us: [3] And let us bring again the ark of our God to us: for we enquired not at it in the days of Saul. [4] And all the congregation said that they would do so: for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people. [5] So David gathered all Israel together, from Shihor of Egypt even unto the entering of Hemath, to bring the ark of God from Kirjath–jearim. [6] And David went up, and all Israel, to Baalah, that is, to Kirjath–jearim, which belonged to Judah, to bring up thence the ark of God the LORD, that dwelleth between the cherubims, whose name is called on it. [7] And they carried the ark of God in a new cart out of the house of Abinadab: and Uzza and Ahio drave the cart.”
The Spirit of God cannot be carried on a new cart. The Spirit of God is carried only by the Word of God.
Revelation 2:29 “He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.”
The Spirit comes by the Word. Jesus Christ is the Word. The Ark of God was commanded to be carried exclusively by the priests who were a type of Christ the Word of God.
The Dove (Holy Spirit) will only land on the Word.
Matthew 3:16 “And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:”
The Holy Spirit landed on the Word, to be carried only by the Word. The Holy Spirit will not land on a creed, intellectualism, or a new cart.
We continue our reading:
1 Chronicles 13:8-10 “And David and all Israel played before God with all their might, and with singing, and with harps, and with psalteries, and with timbrels, and with cymbals, and with trumpets. [9] And when they came unto the threshingfloor of Chidon, Uzza put forth his hand to hold the ark; for the oxen stumbled. [10] And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzza, and he smote him, because he put his hand to the ark: and there he died before God.”
David brought out the Ark in sincerity but he was out of line with the Word of God.
The Spirit of God speaks to the Church by the Word of God. If the Church falls out of line with the Word of God, they are trying to carry the Spirit of God on a new cart, and the results is always death. That’s why many churches are in apostasy —dead.
We fall out of line with the Word of God when we make the Word something different. Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever.
The same Divine healings just as Jesus did, the same baptism with the Holy Spirit just as the disciples received. The Word of God the same yesterday, today, and forever.
We conclude our reading:
1 Chronicles 13:11-14 “And David was displeased, because the LORD had made a breach upon Uzza: wherefore that place is called Perez–uzza to this day. [12] And David was afraid of God that day, saying, How shall I bring the ark of God home to me? [13] So David brought not the ark home to himself to the city of David, but carried it aside into the house of Obed–edom the Gittite. [14] And the ark of God remained with the family of Obed–edom in his house three months. And the LORD blessed the house of Obed–edom, and all that he had.”
Without the knowledge of the Word, we perish.
Hosea 4:6 “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.”
Let the Word of God line you up with God. BELIEVE and confess Christ the Word as we’ve revealed Him from the First Adam. The Spirit is carried only by the Word, in Christ!
