God Speaks from His Holy Place
“And when Moses was gone into the tabernacle of the congregation to speak with him, then he heard the voice of one speaking unto him from off the mercy seat.”
— Numbers 7:89
When God instructed the Israelites to build Him a sanctuary, He gave Moses very specific guidelines. As we read in Exodus 25:40, the Lord told Moses, “See that you make them after the pattern which was shown to you on the mountain.” From chapters 25 to 40 in Exodus, we are given a detailed blueprint of how the tabernacle should be built. Once every instruction was followed and the work was completed just as the Lord commanded Moses, the glory of God descended and filled the tabernacle (Exodus 40:34).
From that moment forward, God’s voice would be heard from between the cherubim on the mercy seat (Numbers 7:89). Anyone who wanted to know God’s will had to go through Moses or Aaron. They would seek God’s direction, and the Lord would speak clearly from the Holy Place. A cloud or pillar of fire rested upon the tabernacle, symbolizing God’s presence. When the cloud lifted—whether after days, weeks, or even months—it signaled that it was time for the people to move forward. These two symbols—God speaking and God leading—defined the sanctuary.
According to Hebrews 8:5, the tabernacle was “a shadow and example of heavenly things.” It was not just a structure; it was a symbol of something much greater. In the same way, the true House of God today is not a building made of stone or concrete. Instead, it is found among those of us who are redeemed by the blood of Jesus Christ, who are born again and walking in His truth.
At New Christian Prayer Church, we believe that the true Church is alive wherever God’s voice is heard and His presence leads. Whether we gather in a large hall or a small room, what makes us the House of God is this:
That God speaks and reveals His will
That His presence is with us in power and glory
Unfortunately, many places of worship today are filled not with God’s voice but with human pride, greed, and division. That is not the true House of God. The New Christian prayer church aims to restore the original pattern of worship where God’s Word is central, and His presence is our guide.
We invite you to be a part of this New Christian journey, to grow in Christian prayer, and to seek the voice and presence of God together as one body in Christ.
