The Tabernacle #6 The Pillars Mondays With Pastor Ryan

God has laid out specifications for every material used for every part of the Tabernacle, except for the pillars used to set up the hangings outside the Tabernacle—God did not specify those materials. You are not used as a pillar when you possess high-level, humanistic conditions. You are filled with the things of God when everything inside of you is completely emptied out. That is when it is possible. Whether you have learned a lot or a little; whether you are from a good family or not; whether you have a lot of money or not…God trains people the way He wants. He makes them into the pillars of the Tabernacle. The pillars are unable to say, “I was used because I’m made out of gold,” or, “I was used because I’m made out of silver.”
We are not used because we are soft people or strong people. You are only used when you are held by the hand of God. God makes us into the precious pillars of the Tabernacle according to the image that He wants and that pleases His will. Therefore, it is arrogant to think, “I became a pillar of the Tabernacle because I’m well-educated.”
On the other hand, it is arrogant to think, “I can’t be used by God because I’m uneducated.” If God chooses us and uses us, then everything we possess is useless. The people God uses are not used because they meet certain conditions. When their hearts become emptied and upheld by God, God trims them, trains them, and uses them as precious workers, gathering His glory through them.
