Watchmen in the midst of Provision

By end of October 2011, God suddenly took us by surprise... again! Pastors Chris & Grace Glory were drawn back to the "hub of glory" in chilly weathered The Gateway, Coeur d'Alene, Idaho USA. It's been almost a complete 6 years since their first visit in 2006.

Whilst attending the Quantum Revelation seminar at The Gateway, they met artists who, during worship sessions, would paint what the Spirit inspired onto canvases. Hence, each piece of art comes from the glory realm.

It is not unusual for God to move through the medium of art. After all, ALL forms of creativity come from Him. In Exodus 31:1-6, we find a character named Bezalel from Judah. He was a gifted artisan and whom God said "I have filled him with the Spirit of God... in all manner of workmanship to design artistic works" for the Tabernacle.

Pastors brought home the painting above entitled "WATCHMEN IN THE MIDST OF PROVISION". It was painted by William Griffen during glory worship at the Gateway, taking 3 days to complete. The significance of the American Quail birds speak of provision, just like in Exodus 16 when God provided quails for the children of Israel. In the painting, there seems to be a gust of wind and autumn leaves changing colour, a sign of a coming winter. However, the watchmen quails are watching over a flock of baby quails even in the midst of impending gloom. God is assuring us that He is watching over us and YHVH JIREH will always provide.

Isaiah 62:6-9 was brought to remembrance.

I have set watchmen on your walls...

they shall never hold their peace day or night.

The LORD has sworn by His right hand

and by the arm of His strength:

Surely I will no longer give your grain

as food for your enemies...

but those who have gathered it shall eat it,

and praise the LORD... in My holy courts.

O taste and see that the Lord is good! He is watching over us in this decade of Ayin - His EYE is on His house & His people. He WILL always provide! Hallelujah!

Season of our joy

Feast of Tabernacles

12 October 2011

Leviticus 23:33-44

"Also on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have gathered in the fruit of the land, you shall keep the feast of the Lord for seven days..."

When God set up the pattern on His feasts, He really meant for us to feast! Both physically and spiritually of course. In Israel, temporary "sukkots" would be set up as part of remembrance that God is our covering. Every sukkot had an "open door" meaning anyone could come in and fellowship and enjoy that same covering. It was God's pattern to include the Gentiles into His family!

Let the Feast begin!

With 7 blasts of the shofar around the chupah, we entered the Feast of Tabernacles! The chupah in the centre is a prophetic symbol to remind the Bride of her marriage to Jesus Christ. We celebrate yearly to remind ourselves to get our wedding garments ready for He's returning SOON!

"...and you shall rejoice before the Lord your God for seven days." Leviticus 23:40b

Dancers arrayed in white to symbolise the wedding garment of the Bride. Celebration, dancing, shouting, rejoicing before the Father!

Glory covering

During Passover, we entered a Blood covering which speaks of our salvation. At Pentecost, the Fire of God covers us just like in Zechariah 2:5 and the fire sanctifies us. Finally at Tabernacles, we enter the GLORY COVERING! The "sukkot" or tabernacle is a symbol of His glory covering over our lives. This final step is GLORIFICATION!

Isaiah 4:5

"...then the Lord will create above every dwelling place of Mount Zion, and above her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day and the shining of a flaming fire by night. For over all the glory there will be a covering."

It's the Season of our Joy!

The joy of the Lord is our strength! We celebrate vibrantly and worship violently that the Heavens break into the Earth! Gain your strength now for the next season!

Dancing around the chupah "a wedding chamber". It's not only time to dance around but to also enter into the King's chambers! (Song of Solomon 1:4)

A feast brings all generations together to worship

Soaking in His Presence under the chupah

Fruitfulness!
