9/11 and Raising up the Tabernacle of David

9/11/01 was a world-changing event, a "set time," trumpeting God's purposeful call to the Body of Christ. The events of that cataclysmic day heralded a call to America's destiny and for the nations to arise. Since that fateful day, a divinely inspired hunger for His Presence, to pursue God, to know Him has been growing in hearts of a remnant of believers and is reflected in Amos 9:11, "On that day I will raise up the tabernacle of David, which has fallen down, and repair its damages; I will raise up its ruins, and rebuild it as in the days of old." History is replete with the life-changing, culture-transforming benefits of ongoing prayer in the spirit of the Tabernacle of David. Accentuated by the events of 9/11, we are once again in a "set time" for the ingathering of the worshipers, who will worship Him in spirit and truth. This desire has ignited a growing movement as prayer rooms, houses of prayer, prayer centers, or simple gathering of saints in communities to worship Him are emerging across the globe. It is not only an individual but a corporate call to intimacy with the Lord.

As a complementary addition to the present day church, the present-day restoration of the spirit of the Tabernacle of David is propelling the church into its finest hour. As people reach across denominational lines to answer the call to corporately worship, relationships are being restored and built. Barriers between churches, cities, and even nations are breaking down as the love of God knits hearts together in worship and praise. In His Presence, God is restoring and deepening ancient foundations of the church, the greatest commandments Jesus spoke of, to love God and to love one another (Matthew 22:38-39). As the church rises to this call, Romans 11:25 is transpiring, "For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in."

The purpose of this book is to relay the biblical, historic and prophetic import of repairing the walls of intercessory worship in our communities in the spirit of the Tabernacle of David, to encourage those called to build it and to give revelation and insight for the church to receive it. The book relays biblical foundations with historic and present day applications of the import of this restoration process. It is not meant to be a dispensational theology, but rather a realistic, empowering guide to help encourage and establish city/region wide worship that leads to personal and community transformation. The book is a result of years of mobilizing a regional intercessory worship watch and developing a network throughout our state that has now reached into the nations, particularly Israel and the Middle East. We have seen these gatherings build and view it as an emerging move of God that is a call from heaven. It is a call in these tumultuous times that will lead to prophetic fulfillment of the nations, of Israel, and prepare the way for His return.
