It is time to restore the Tabernacle of David in the House of God!

Beloved of the Lord,

God is restoring the Tabernacle of David in our midst. I felt led of the Spirit of God this morning to write more about it because of our last nights gathering of his people together with Him.

What an incredible gathering we had with the Lord last night. All throughout our Eagles Nest School year we have been teaching about the restoration of David's Tabernacle as Amos prophesied would come in the last days.

There is something the Lord wants to do in our "gatherings" to prepare us for the kingdom age that is unfolding in our midst. These "gatherings" are going to be very strategic in what is to come and the Lord is going to bring other "gathering places" together with other groups for "strategic Kingdom alignment. 

That is why I am impressed by the Holy Spirit to write about them. They may seem today inconsequential, but they are going to take a deeper place in the Lord's establishing His Kingdom on the Earth. In these "Kingdom Gathering" times there is a special equipping of the saints, and preparation of the Bride, and the maturing of full grown sons that is absolutely needed by the Lord. 

Amos 9:11- 12

11, In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David, the fallen hut or booth, and close up its breaches; and I will raise up its ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old,

12 That they may possess the remnant of Edom and of all the nations that are called by My name, says the Lord Who does this.


Our Gatherings with the Lord have become just that a manifestation of David’s Tabernacle. We are no longer having 2nd day church system  services, or even 3rd day Spirit led meetings with time frames and still some limits, but we are being led into true Holy Spirit led GATHERINGS of the Lord with 1 Corinthians chapter 12 being manifested and Chapter 14:26 being our divine order to the gatherings.

1st Corinthians 12: 4

Now there are distinctive varieties and distributions of endowments (gifts, extraordinary powers distinguishing certain Christians, due to the power of divine grace operating in their souls by the Holy Spirit) and they vary, but the [Holy] Spirit remains the same.

5 And there are distinctive varieties of service and ministration, but it is the same Lord [Who is served].

6 And there are distinctive varieties of operation [of working to accomplish things], but it is the same God Who inspires and energizes them all in all.

7 But to each one is given the manifestation of the [Holy] Spirit [the evidence, the spiritual illumination of the Spirit] for good and profit.

8 To one is given in and through the [Holy] Spirit [the power to speak] a message of wisdom, and to another [the power to express] a word of knowledge and understanding according to the same [Holy] Spirit;

9 To another [wonder-working] faith by the same [Holy] Spirit, to another the extraordinary powers of healing by the one Spirit;

10 To another the working of miracles, to another prophetic insight ([c]the gift of interpreting the divine will and purpose); to another the ability to discern and distinguish between [the utterances of true] spirits [and false ones], to another various kinds of [unknown] tongues, to another the ability to interpret [such] tongues.

11 All these [gifts, achievements, abilities] are inspired and brought to pass by one and the same [Holy] Spirit, Who apportions to each person individually [exactly] as He chooses.

12 For just as the body is a unity and yet has many parts, and all the parts, though many, form [only] one body, so it is with Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).

13 For by [[d]means of the personal agency of] one [Holy] Spirit we were all, whether Jews or Greeks, slaves or free, baptized [and [e]by baptism united together] into one body, and all made to drink of one [Holy] Spirit.

14 For the body does not consist of one limb or organ but of many.


Beloved of the Lord, Pastors, and Ministers, There is a higher purpose for us to “gather together” them God meeting “our needs, and our fellowship with one another” then we have ever known. As Good as our meetings have been, there is more, MUCH MORE GOD DESIRES IN THEM!  We are the BODY OF CHRIST!


A New Dimension Of Glory!

Last night as we gathered together in the Lord, our Eagles Nest Graduates Conor Petersen and Jeremy DelaCruz began our time together by helping us focus just on the Lord with prayer and praise.

As the Lord led me to minister to him in song, He prophetically  began to move in our midst. A song of the Lord came from my wife to remove the heavy clothes of the spirit of heaviness and put on the garment of praise.

In our School time we learned each part of David’s Tabernacle but the testimony after our gathering that God put it all together by His spirit and established His tabernacle in us, through us and from us! He was our God and we were His people!

The Lord came in our midst and he began to release a spiritual song in our midst about “removing the heavy clothes” we were wearing. The Lord wanted to remove them. This prophetic spiritual song became a song of deliverance over all of us and God began to break the chains and things holding us back from the Lord.

Then a14 year old young Omega Generation handmaiden prophesied we must not bring our situations and trials before the Lord, but to go to the Lord Himself and not see those things but only God.

As people took off those heavy clothes and let go of the things that were keeping them earthbound, we all got lifted up into a higher dimension of the Spirit of God and into a deeper lever of His hearts desires.

It was then, God began to move powerfully throughout His entire Body Parts present as He willed. Prophetic utterances came forth, tongues and interpretation of tongues, words of wisdom came forth, words of knowledge, teachings, scriptures, new songs, hymns.

We were lifted into a much higher level of the Spirit of God. We were lifted into the realm of the 7 spirits of God and The Spirit of Prophecy, The Testimony of Jesus was manifested in His Body. The Body of Christ built itself up in love as the Word of God says it should in Ephesians 4:12-16:

12 His intention was the perfecting and the full equipping of the saints (His consecrated people), [that they should do] the work of ministering toward building up Christ’s body (the church),

13 [That it might develop] until we all attain oneness in the faith and in the comprehension of the full and accurate] knowledge of the Son of God, that [we might arrive] at really mature manhood (the completeness of personality which is nothing less than the standard height of Christ’s own perfection), the measure of the stature of the fullness of the Christ and the completeness found in Him.

14 So then, we may no longer be children, tossed [like ships] to and fro between chance gusts of teaching and wavering with every changing wind of doctrine, [the prey of] the cunning and cleverness of [c]unscrupulous men, [gamblers engaged] in every shifting form of trickery in inventing errors to mislead.

15 Rather, let our lives lovingly [d]express truth [in all things, speaking truly, dealing truly, living truly]. Enfolded in love, let us grow up in every way and in all things into Him Who is the Head, [even] Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).

16 For because of Him the whole body (the church, in all its various parts), closely joined and firmly knit together by the joints and ligaments with which it is supplied, when each part [with power adapted to its need] is working properly [in all its functions], grows to full maturity, building itself up in love.


This is exactly what the Lord did in our midst as He manifested His Presence and Person in our gathering.

God brought forth Revelation of His Body flowing as one people: 


The Spirit of God began to bring forth much truth in reality from the Word of God. There came forth tremendous teaching of the function of the Body of Christ as the  Kingdom of God on Earth as it is heaven.

The revelations of Jesus victory and our being over-comers came forth in teaching, prophetic song and ministry to the Lord Himself that we could hardly even stand in His presence.

Then a prophetic teaching came forth from a 20+ Omega Woman of God who taught the following from 1st Corinthians 14: She prophetically taught what the Lord was doing in our midst: The Lord said to us:

15 If the foot should say, Because I am not the hand, I do not belong to the body, would it be therefore not [a part] of the body?

16 If the ear should say, Because I am not the eye, I do not belong to the body, would it be therefore not [a part] of the body?

17 If the whole body were an eye, where [would be the sense of] hearing? If the whole body were an ear, where [would be the sense of] smell?

18 But as it is, God has placed and arranged the limbs and organs in the body, each [particular one] of them, just as He wished and saw fit and with the best adaptation.

19 But if [the whole] were all a single organ, where would the body be?

20 And now there are [certainly] many limbs and organs, but a single body.

21 And the eye is not able to say to the hand, I have no need of you, nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.

22 But instead, there is [absolute] necessity for the parts of the body that are considered the more weak.

23 And those [parts] of the body which we consider rather ignoble are [the very parts] which we invest with additional honor, and our unseemly parts and those unsuitable for exposure are treated with seemliness (modesty and decorum),

24 Which our more presentable parts do not require. But God has so adjusted (mingled, harmonized, and subtly proportioned the parts of) the whole body, giving the greater honor and richer endowment to the inferior parts which lack [apparent importance],

25 So that there should be no division or discord or lack of adaptation [of the parts of the body to each other], but the members all alike should have a mutual interest in and care for one another.

26 And if one member suffers, all the parts [share] the suffering; if one member is honored, all the members [share in] the enjoyment of it.

27 Now you [collectively] are Christ’s body and [individually] you are members of it, each part severally and distinct [each with his own place and function].

28 So God has appointed some in the church [[f]for His own use]: first apostles (special messengers); second prophets (inspired preachers and expounders); third teachers; then wonder-workers; then those with ability to heal the sick; helpers; administrators; [speakers in] different (unknown) tongues.

29 Are all apostles (special messengers)? Are all prophets (inspired interpreters of the will and purposes of God)? Are all teachers? Do all have the power of performing miracles?

30 Do all possess extraordinary powers of healing? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret?

31 But earnestly desire and zealously cultivate the greatest and best gifts and graces (the higher gifts and the choicest graces). And yet I will show you a still more excellent way [one that is better by far and the highest of them all—love].

Beloved, the Lord revealed in our midst this word, “19 But if [the whole] were all a single organ, where would the body be? 


Isn’t that what our “church services” have become? The Pastor brings the word and basically does everything? This is not a criticism because that is where we have been led until now, but a change has come will we not perceive it?

Verses 20 and 21 says:

And now there are [certainly] many limbs and organs, but a single body.

21 And the eye is not able to say to the hand, I have no need of you, nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.


In 3rd day home meetings we are getting more revelation that the whole body must have a part, but yet there is still something lacking because they meetings still have “not come into the fullness of what God intends them to be as He did in the book of Acts.”

No Part Greater than another: 


Beloved, God manifested this in our midst and he used all those who were willing. As each one had the opportunity to share what God was telling them, the Omega boys and girls ages  8,12, 13, helped bring forth the truth that we are all His body and we need each other. As they spoke a deeper worship came forth to the Lord.

God then began to have us worship Him in the beauty of His Holiness. We all came deeper as the Spirit of God lifted us up even higher in the Spirit. It was here the little ones 5 and under came and grabbed the flags without direction and began to minister to the Lord.

Then the handmaidens of God (they young Omega Generation the 20- 30 year olds) ministered to the Lord in song and sang spiritual songs in the Holy Spirit and then sang songs back to us from the Lord It was incredible.

No one could move! Then our Joshua Generation warrior of my generation sang songs and ministered to the Lord along side the other generations a beautiful harmony of song from heaven came in our midst.

The Lord sang over us “we are his chosen, A generation that will know him and love Him.” Then we responded, “that we are a generation who will know him and love him.” That song develop into more and more revelation of what God was doing in our midst and we went higher and higher with each lyric that was added.

Next,  the men servants of God came and ministered to the Lord in song and reverential bowing before the Lord. A word came that the men had to come and take their place as men servants of the Lord and minister to His his heart.

So the men began to pour even more their heart of worship to the Lord and you could hear the men and women sing as one and a heavenly choir of angels joined with us and I could hear them in the room singing with us.

The Glory Generation of 13 and under took their places: 


The young children 4-5 began to dance spontaneously and then used their flags as weapons of worship and war as God taught them. (all this under the direction of the Holy Spirit, not planned but spontaneous)

The elder women from the Omega and Joshua Generations without anyone asking them went along side the young ones to help guide them even higher in worship, praise and dance teaching them the ministry of the Holy Spirit!

Family of God, when this happened even a greater release of the manifested presence of the Lord came in our midst. We were even taken to a higher level of worship and in the Spirit of God!

The Spirit of Prophecy, not the gifts of prophecy, or the office of a prophet, but the higher realm from the 7 spirits of God was released in our midst, and the Lord began to speak to us through each of His body parts. We all knew that Jesus was in our midst.

Just about every one had something to speak by the Spirit of God that build each of us in the Lord. It was like the Lord gave each person a part of the puzzle and as each person did their part the puzzle or "word of the Lord' came forth.

God wants to bring us deeper and give us the “more of Him!” 


The incredible things was God wasn't finished with us yet. We felt the Lord close about 9 pm, we celebrated two birthdays with cake and snacks, but then we found out some of the new people who came were musicians grown up in the church.

We just started playing music together to worship the Lord and as we did the Spirit of God came powerfully back in our midst! No one had left yet so  we began to minister to the Lord and His glory.

His glory came in our midst and once again the whole body came to life again and more new songs, prophetic words, teachings and revelation from God came forth, and we experienced the true "unity of the Body” as came together as the Lord taught us 1st Corinthians 12 in reality.

Teaching about His Body as being one came forth like I have never seen. It wasn’t teaching or theory, it was direct impartation from God Himself in each and every one of us.

The gifts of the Spirit manifested not as gifts to be used, but as the life that is within His Body flowing through each of us as the breath of God. When that happened each one brought  a prophesy, tongues and interpretation of tongues, new songs, and more, but gifts were not seen or worshiped or to take glory in, only the Giver of the gifts was made manifest. He was getting all the Glory!

While this was all going on, the young girls and boy 4 and under danced like angels before God with no one teaching them. The Glory Generation warriors of  young boys and girls used their flags, the Omega Generation of 13 -20 ministered to the heart of God in song.

The Joshua Generation (over 30 -60) joined them and started teaching and sharing personally to each one as was needed without anyone seeing or noticing.

They were able to instruct how the Holy Spirit was leading to our Graduates, the children and the adults in a beautiful way. The older women were guiding the younger, the older men guiding the younger men.

It is as it should be when we GATHER TOGETHER IN HIS NAME AND HE IS TRULY IN THE MIDST OF US!

It was beautiful, spontaneous, but in decent and order by the Spirit of God Himself:

I
t was so beautiful and spontaneous and it ended with powerful prophetic words of the Lord to us and for us to truly answer the calls as missionaries from Isaiah 6: “Who shall we send, and who shall go for us."

The lord then spoke in new songs about us how we are to go as being the over-comer generation who will know him, love him and worship him. He revealed his victory over sin, death and the grave in our midst and raised up a prophetic generational army of the lord Last night. This second meeting started around and 10 and ended at midnight but no one even kept track of time.

From “church service” to “home meetings” to “Gatherings with the Lord Himself:”


Beloved God is bringing his people out of the 2nd day “service mindset”, out of the the early 3rd day, "meeting" mindset" into the fullness of the kingdom of God age “gatherings of Jesus in our midst." 

In the present 2nd day church services system we feel some of the presence of God, in the beginning of the 3rd day “outside the camp home meetings” we get more of the presence of God, but in the “gatherings of the Lord"we stand in His glory" 

Jesus said, "wherever two or more are "gathered together in my name" THERE I AM IN THE MIDST OF THEM,” This is when we enter into David’s Tabernacle in reality!

When we enter that tabernacle the reality of the Feast of Tabernacles takes place individually and corporately. That is why David's Tabernacle has to be restored in our midst now for the higher purpose of His Kingdom to come forth on Earth as it is Heaven.

Beloved our gatherings are to be more than just services or meetings. They are to become the  powerful expression of God in the “midst of His people and His people in the midst of Him.”  This is when the Earth will begin to be filled with the Glory and knowledge of the Lord.

These gatherings unite us in Him and Him with us as nothing else can or will. These gatherings fit and form us into his weapons of war upon the Earth to change the nations of this Earth in the Kingdom of our God in Christ. These gatherings are where we begin to arise and shine for the light has come and the Glory of the Lord shall be seen upon us.

A word to Pastors and Leaders: 


God by His grace has allowed us to  work with many Pastors and Leaders hungering for the reality of the Kingdom of God in the midst of his people. But there is much apprehension, questions and some fear to truly allow the Lord to change our times together from “service, from meetings, to true Kingdom gatherings together for the Lord’s purposes alone." 

I had to face those same things as I pastored a local church for over 20 years. So I truly understand the questions and apprehensions. You will face much apprehension about letting go of the "service" mentality because "people may not like it, understand it, or even oppose it.

When you start Pastors to truly let God have his way, there will be a hesitancy to truly to let go, and how quick or slow that process is to be? The question really must be "are the meetings for God or for people?"

Why are we gathering for our needs or Gods? Once you can truly answer that question it is for God’s needs, God enables you to teach the people how and why God must restore the Tabernacle of David in our midst.

You must face the fact people like the “religious life” more than the true “spiritual life.”  A religiously lived Christian life dictates to God what we will and will not do and only submits to God when it is convenient and usually with little to no suffering.

The religious spirits that will operate with the church will say, “there is not enough “word” being taught. We need more messages. We like the old way we do things.”

There will be a temptation to go back or worse to compromise with what the people want and what God wants. That is what King Saul did by keep the best of the oxen and sheep and keeping Agag alive, and God ripped the Kingdom from Him and gave it to another. So you will as I did.

Pastors and Leaders we must think about what pleases God and not men. You may loose some people if you truly allow the Lord to take you from the church age meetings to the Kingdom age gatherings.

You may get persecuted for “not teaching the word” as they have known it to be. But how long does God want the people he allowed you to tend to stay and their seats and hear good message after good message and never really grow up spiritually? Jesus said, “if you love me, feed my sheep, not give them Sunday messages? When we feed them the Word and Spirit they grow up.

David’s Tabernacle is that place God has chosen for His people to meet with him, grow in the knowledge of Him, hear his voice and to obey His commands. That is why it has to be built up and restored because our present ways of meeting with God have torn it down for God to meet His people directly and built itself up in love.

Let it go: 


Dear Pastors and Leaders, "Let it go" What God has for us is far greater than any message you could preach or meeting you could possibly prepare for by study. David’s tabernacle is not about us or our needs, but ministering to the Lord and His needs.

When we do He manifest Himself in our midst with feet like bronze. As we meet His needs, hear His heart and our taught by the Spirit of God He comes and sets the captives free, heals them, opens the eyes of the blind and the deaf can hear and he comes to delivers them, without any or little help from us. His glory alone changes everything and everyone. We are changed from one degree of glory to another.

Beloved’s, only in David's tabernacle do we get to experience in "reality" and see the Glory of God in our midst. Pastor the unsaved will fall on the faces and get saved because of the convicting power of God in your midst. The sick will be made whole. The deaf will hear and the blind will see, because Jesus is standing in our midst. So we don't have to be afraid of what people thing.

Beloved Pastors and Leaders, it is time not to make our meetings about us, our need, or even the lost,or our church agenda or plans. Our gatherings must be about God alone. When He is lifted up, He will draw all men unto Him.

We were so changed last night as David’s Tabernacle came forth in our midst and Jesus in his Glory was present amongst us. Even the young people were on fire and they want to come back and have more of God and to meet the Lord in His manifest presence.

This is the work God is doing now on the Earth. God is sending us to bring forth to those who have ears to hear and eyes to see. He is sending us to those who are truly thirsty and hungry for more of God This is our missionary work. It is different from classical mission work, but mission work none the less.

The Gatherings we are now experiencing are far greater than any meeting I went to, any church service, any revival service, the soaking services, or even the "renewal meetings" in Canada. These gatherings are about a "body being built up in love" Just as Paul taught us would happen when we all come together to be the "body of Christ."

The day of sitting and just hearing a message on Sunday or even just to have a home meeting as we have known them to be is coming to an end because God is bringing the higher and deeper purposes of gatherings into reality.

I hope today this will encourage my Pastor and Leader friends not to get content with just having services or meetings, not to be content with just "church body life experiences" but to go deeper into His heart until the Body becomes a body each part supplying what the other needs.

Don't be content until you see the Lord's Glory manifesting in your midst. Don't be content with "good words and messages" that you may have from the Lord. BECOME THE MESSAGE. LET THE PEOPLE OF GOD TAKE THEIR PLACE. TEACH THEM THE WAYS OF GOD!I encourage each one to cultivate a place where the Lord is welcome to come as He desires not in the "order of service" we provide for him to come."

Don't be afraid of the "new" that really is not new. 1st Corinthians 12, 14:26 have been there for 1000's of years written and unwritten. God has an order of worship, It is David's Tabernacle where the Lord Himself becomes our priority and our one aim.

We are to minister to Him first, never to men, and never to men's needs first. We are to minister to the Lord 24/7, listen for his voice, and do only and exactly what He tell us.

I guarantee you that as you meet His needs He meets every need in His house. Every time! Let me close with the words of Hosea Chapter 6:1-3

1. Come, and let us return unto the Lord: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.

2 After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.

3 Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the Lord: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth.
