Wash your hands and feet
Exodus 30:17~21 "Whenever they enter the Tent of Meeting, they shall wash with water so that they will not die. Also, when they approach the altar to minister by presenting an offering made to the Lord by fire, they shall wash their hands and feet so that they will not die. This is to be a lasting ordinance for Aaron and his descendants for the generations to come.” (20~21)

When starting something, the thoughts and goal you have in mind as you begin are critical. That is because when faced with a problem, if you have the incorrect thoughts, you cannot avoid walking down the wrong path. Before starting your day, examine what thoughts are lingering in your head, and if the mystery of God being with you exists when you start and finish. This is the greatest blessing and mystery that a Christian must enjoy. Washing your hands and feet in the basin prepared in the temple holds an important spiritual meaning.
1. Before receiving answers – reflect on yourself
There is a method for a saved child of God to receive prayer answers accurately. First, reflect on yourself and come clean. Before going to the holy God, look for aspects of yourself that are inadequate to take before God and enter into the Gospel. All my weaknesses and unbelief and laziness must be laid down before God. This is confirming with faith that Christ’s power of the cross is for me. Exchange fears, worries, guilty consciences and other channels of Satan with faith and go solely before God. God says to wash your hands and feet in the basin before coming before Him. Only the power of the blood of Jesus Christ can cleanse us. Grabbing hold of the Gospel is God giving us the blessing of victory.
2. True answer – Word fulfillment
When pressed by many conflicts and difficult interpersonal relationships and various problems, those who received the blessing to build the Most Holy Place with only faith were the Christians. The Most Holy Place is a place of experiencing God’s presence. The greatest answer is realizing God’s plan in the Word and enjoying Christ. The solution to the countless problems that stem from not knowing the Gospel is only Christ. God’s plan for us is complete and perfect. God’s plan for His people is complete and perfect. The Jordan will split and Jericho will crumble wherever the Ark of the Covenant goes. The message to wash your hands and feet before giving worship is God’s Word to taste God’s grace centered on the tabernacle. Therein lies your life of experiencing Word fulfillment. Knowing this spiritual truth is the greatest blessing. Wash your hands and feet in the spiritual basin and restore the blessing of worship. A person of God must remain within answers enough to wash the hands and feet of others, as well.
