• The building of David’s tabernacle.

  The 3 dimensions to this restoration.
  A priestly dimension – focused on 24 hour a day worship and intercession that follows the Davidic order of worship.
  A prophetic dimension – focused on the release of the prophetic ministry in the church of Jesus Christ – Acts 2:17.
  A kingly dimension – focused on the apostolic ministry that accomplish the tasks of the kingdom with power fulfilling the Great Commission – evangelism, community and equipping.
  The Tabernacle of David in all 3 dimensions had its beginning of restoration in the New Testament church. However, the completion of these 3 dimensions have not yet been fully restored that the nations might know God. The Tabernacle of David is essential in the completion of the Great Harvest of souls promised to the church at the end of the age. We believe that city wide prayer ministries will fill the earth before the Lord returns.
• David’s Tabernacle is a picture of ministry to God in spirit and truth (John 4:24)Revelation 4 – 5 – The 2 primary activities are seen in Revelation 5:8. The harp – speaks of God’s songs and God’s music in the heavenly court. The bowl – speaks of God’s prayers that are imparted into the heart of the saints.
