A True Account OF THE Sensible Thankful and Holy State OF God's People AND Of his speaking to them both in the Old and New COVENANT By the Servant of Christ G. F. Printed in the Year 1686. A true Account of the sensible thankful and holy State of God's People c. HEre you may see that all Gods People were a living and a sensible People and did always for all things give thanks to God the Father in the Name of Jesus Christ And such as were unholy past feeling and unsensible having a form of Godliness but denying the power thereof were unthankful and to be turned away from and that such went in Cain's Corah's and Baalam's way who did feed themselves without the fear of God and were like the Idolatrous Jews who forgot God and did Eat and Drink and rose up to Play and how that God destroyed such who were unthankful and unsensible of his Temporal and Spiritual Mercies The Lord said unto his People that were acquainted with him and knew him That when they gathered together their Corn and their Wine c. They should Eat it and Drink it in the Court of my Holiness and praise the Lord Isaiah 62.8 9. So here you may see they that gathered together that which the Lord gave the encrease of they were to Eat it and Drink it is the Court of the Lords Holiness and praise him and they that gather the encrease of the Lords Fruits and do eat them they should be sensible of the holiness of his Courts who filleth Heaven and Earth who is worthy of all Praise and Glory for all his Mercies and they that Eat and Drink that which the Lord who hath made them hath provided are to be sensible in his Spirit that he is worthy of all Thanks and Praises and so are not to be like the Idolatrous Jews who forgot the Lord and his great Power and Mercies who had done such great things for them both in Egypt and in delivering them out of Egypt who after Sat down to Eat and Drink and rose up to Play 1 Cor. 10.7 Num. 25.9 And there you may see what became of all those who did not Eat and Drink in the Courts of Gods holiness and praise the Lord and the that did and do forsake the right way of the Lord and do go in the way of Cain Corah and Baalam are they that do feed themselves without the fear of God such are the wandering Stars from the Firment of Gods power and are Trees that do not bear Fruit to God and are Clouds for people to stare at without Water and raging waves of the Sea soaming out their own shame as in Jude 12 13. And such were not nor are not like to praise God in the Court of his holiness for his daily Mercies they receive from him such look not after their way whether it be the way of the Lord or the way of Cain and they which be in the way of Cain Corah and Baalam eat the bread of Idleness and are in the destroying Spirit but they that be in the way of the Lord praise him for his Blessings Riches and Mercies that he daily giveth to them And you may see how the Christians when they were converted unto Christ did eat their Meat with gladness and singleness of heart praising God Acts 2.46 47. And the Apostle saith to the Church of Christ Whatsoever ye do do it heartily as to the Lord. And again the Apostle saith Whatsoever ye do in Word or Deed do all in the Name of the Lord Jesus Mark in the Name of the Lord Jesus then ye must live in his Grace which giveth a sence of the Lord Jesus giving thanks to God the Father by him Col. 3.17 23. So here you may see there is nothing is to be done in Word or Deed but all is to be done in the Name of the Lord Jesus and to give thanks to God the Father by him And again the Apostle saith to the Church of Christ Whether ye do Eat or Drink or whatsoever ye do do all to the glory of God 1 Cor. 10.31 Now all that profess themselves Christians and Members of the Church of Christ consider this whether ye Eat or Drink or whatsoever else ye do that ye do all to the Glory of God so ye are neither to Eat nor Drink nor do any other thing but to the Glory of God so that he may have the thanks glory and praise through Jesus Christ who Created all things for his Glory by Jesus Christ For the Apostle saith The unthankful unholy without natural affections truce breakers false accusers incontinent fierce dispisers of them that are good having a form of Godliness but denying the power thereof from such the Apostle commands the Church of Christ to turn away 2 Tim. 3. So the Members of Christ have no unity with such unthankful unholy and truce breakers And the Apostle saith Give thanks always for all things unto God the Father in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ Eph. 5.20 So always in all things to give thanks to God the Father in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ showing forth that you are a feeling and a sensible People of the mercies of the Lord through Christ Jesus who is worthy of all Thanks Glory Honour and Praise for ever Amen G. F. How the Lord spake unto Moses in the outward Tabernacle in the Old Testament and God speaks now by his Son in the New Testament in the Tabernacle and Hearts of his People THE Lord said unto Moses when he and the Jews were to make the Tabernacle Thou shalt put the Mercy-seat above the Ark and in the Ark thou shall put the Testimony that I shall give thee and there I will meet with thee and I will Commune with thee from the Mercy-seat from between the two Cherubins which are upon the Ark of the Testimony of all things which I shall give thee in Commandment unto the Children of Israel Exod. 25.21 22. And when Moses was gone into the Tabernacle c. to speak with the Lord then he heard the voice of God speaking unto him from the Mercy-seat which was upon the Arke of the Testimony and here the Lord spake to Moses in the Tabernacle as in Numb 7.89 And when the Cloud did abide upon the Tabernacle the Children of Israel abode in their Tents and when the Cloud was taken off the Tabernacle then the Children of Israel Journeyed so at the Commandment of the Lord they Journeyed and kept their Tents Numb 9.20 And the Glory of the Lord filled the Tabernacle Exod. 40.34 35. Here you may see the Lord spoke to Moses in the Tabernacle and communed with him there and what the Lord did spake to him in the Tabernacle he was to spake it to the Children of Israel and the Testimony which the Lord gave to Moses was in the Tabernacle and was not the Candle-stick put in the Tabernacle which Moses was to make
in the old Testament and the Jews were not to go on their Journey into the Land of Canaan but at the Commandment of God and the Lord said to Moses I will meet with you in the Tabernacle Numb 17.4 And the Stranger that cometh nigh the Tabernacle shall be put to Death And the Lord bid Nathan go tell David That Since the time that I brought the Children out of Egypt even unto this day that he had walked in a Tent and in a Tabernacle 2 Sam. 7.6 And Solomon built an outward Temple â— Chron. 3. In which Temple the Lord appeared unto the Jews in all those outward things which the Lord did command Moses and his Servants to make the Lord did appear in them in the old Covenant and old Testament which where Figures and Shadows of Christ the Substance and of his Spiritual House and Church in the new Testament and were commanded in the Law and served till Christ the great Prophet came in the new Covenant and new Testament who is to be heard in all things and he the Substance putteth an end to all those Figures and Shadows in the Law and old Testament as namely the outward Tabernacle Ark Sanctuary and Temple which were outward and made with hands where the Lord had formerly spoke to the Jews in the old Testament and old Covenant and in the new Testament God speaketh to his Believers by his Son as in Heb. 1. And Christ Jesus enlighteneth every Man and Woman that cometh into the World that is he enlighteneth the Spirit of Man and Woman which is the Candle of the Lord in every Mans and Womans Tabernacle that there they might here God speaking to them by his Son by his Light Grace and Spirit from Heaven at his Mercy-seat and whatever any Man or Woman receiveth from God through Christ they receive it in their Tabernacle and there is a witness and a sence of it in their Tabernacle or Temple where the Glory of the Lord appeareth and Christ Jesus doth rule in their hearts in their Tabernacle and the Lord pouring out of his Spirit upon all Flesh Men and Women all that have received the Spirit of God they are sensible of it and its motions in their Tabernacle and they that are led by the Spirit of God they are sensible of Gods Spirit leading to the Land of the Living and in this every one knows the voice and command of God from the Stranger and his voice that must not come into the Tabernacle but that must be mortified and killed and by the Spirit of God and every one that receiveth the Grace of God which bringeth Salvation and hath appeared unto all men they are sensible of this Grace and Favour of God in their Tabernacle and of their growing in Grace and receiving more Grace from the throne of Grace and Christ being the Author and Finisher of the holy divine precious Faith in Man and Woman every one that receiveth it are sensible of it in their Tabernacle and of Christ the Author and Finisher of that Faith and every one that believeth in the Light which Christ enlightens their Spirits withal which is the Candle of the Lord in their Tabernacle and so become Children of the Light and in Christs Light they see more Light and it shineth more and more untill the perfect day and of this every Child of Light is sensible and hath a Testimony or Witness of this in their Temple or Tabernacle in the new Testament and do know that their Bodies are the Temples of the holy Ghost and of God and Christ and the Gospel being preached to or in every Creature under Heaven every Man and Woman that receiveth this Gospel of Life and Salvation are sensible and have a Testimony or Witness of it in their Temple or Tabernacle and all that receive Gods Mercies and Blessings from above and Tenderness and Kindness and Gifts from God and Christ that ascended on high and of the Love of God shed in their hearts they have a sensible Witness or Testimony of these things in their Tabernacle and Temple and there is ascending praises to God on high from the Spirit of God in their Tabernacle and Temple from whom they do receive infinite Mercies and Blessings so if they do Pray in Spirit and Sing in the Spirit to God who is a Spirit it is in the Tabernacle and Temple where the Spirit of God and Christ is within and the Word of Faith Life and Patience is in the Heart and Mouth to obey it and to do it and the anointing is within to teach God's People and they need no man to teach but as it teacheth and this Teacher of God's People is within the Temple and Tabernacle in the new Testament and Covenant so that they need not run to the old Covenant and Testament and to outward Sanctuaries and Temples made with hands and to those outward Teachers that may be removed into a corner and the holy Ghost that proceeds from the Father and Son that leadeth the true Believers into all Truth this Leader is in the Tabernacle and Temple and in the new Covenant and Testament God writeth his Law in the hearts of People and puts it in their minds whereby all may know the Lord that they need not teach every man his Neighbour saying know the Lord for all from the greatest to the least shall know the Lord and this knowledg of the Lord is known in every mans Temple and Tabernacle in the new Covenant for there is no Man nor Woman from the highest to the lowest that hath any sence or understanding or knowledg of the Mercies and Goodness of the Lord but it is by his Light and Spirit in their Tabernacle or Temple all who are sensible of the heavenly Dew and the small Rain and the showers of the Mercies of the Lord they are sensible of them by the tender plant in their Tabernacle or Temple to his praise and all those who are Ministers of Christ and none can be Ministers of Christ or Preachers of Christ and of his Word Faith and Gospel or Word of Life or of the Grace of God or be made Ministers of the Spirit except they have received these things from God and Christ by his Spirit in their Tabernacle and Temple I say from God and Christ in their Tabernacle and Temple then they can declare what Spiritual things they have received from the Lord in their Tabernacle and Temple then such are Ministers of the Spirit and Sowers to the Spirit in others in their Tabernacle which can apprehend the things of God and discern them so as every one hath received freely the gift from the Lord in their Tabernacle and Temple by his Spirit let them Minister it freely to others and if they have not received it from the Lord into their Tabernacle and Temple by his Spirit and have no Testimony and Witness of it in their Tabernacles they are not Ministers of Christ nor God but
