One of my favorite scriptures is Proverbs 29:18, “Where there is no vision [no redemptive revelation of God], the people perish.” (AMP). As I shared on Sunday morning, this is a key time to cry out for the revelation that will position us for our future. With regards to the Tabernacle construction, I am seeking the Lord for His vision of how this portal will look and operate in days ahead. I don’t want the success of previous gatherings to carry into the new just because it was our best for the last eight years. Rather, I want to understand God’s call for the Tabernacle so we can gain the vision to facilitate the desires of His heart. As you can see below, great progress is being made in the natural. In addition to praying for the safe and timely completion of this project, declare that in this season of enlargement we will corporately receive new vision for a new era.
One of my favorite books that I have written is Possessing Your Inheritance. Published in 1998 and co-authored by Rebecca Wagner Sytsema, the opening chapter reads:
Change! Conflict! Fear! Wars! Rumors of wars! Generations battling generations! Generations warring within themselves! The world is changing so quickly that many awaken with anxiety to each new day. I agree with Rick Joyner who says, “Change is now coming on the world so fast, that the only thing we can count on is change.” How do we respond to all the changes around us? Do they overtake us? Are we a people being tossed to and fro with every societal, environmental and religious change that comes along?
For many, change can bring fear. Change is hard since we can’t see the future and yet are required to let go of what we presently know. Essentially, there is a death that takes place, and for many this transition brings great fear. However, God’s word declares: “Wisdom and knowledge will be the stability of your times” (Is. 33:6), and “But the people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits” (Dan. 11:32).
In a time of great change, we know the Lord has directed us to leave behind the familiar and press forward with a major renovation in the Tabernacle and how we communicate in days ahead. We are so grateful for your prayers and support in this process, as we seek to be guided and directed in His time and wisdom. We are also believing for exploits – taking our available resources and causing multiplication to occur in many areas. Below is the update I received on yesterday’s progress from Justin Rana:
