Be God’s Pioneer! Return & Build!

Solomon was chosen as the one to build the Father’s House for the Glory of His great Name and is a picture in type of Jesus, the Son of God. Over time, because of sin, disobedience, and idolatry, the people of God lost the Glory—the House was destroyed, and the nation was taken into captivity by their enemies for seventy years for a period of discipline. Then in God’s chosen appointed time, after a long season of refinement in captivity, He released His people from exile to return to rebuild His House for His Glory.

The return of the exiles to Jerusalem and the work to rebuild the temple was overshadowed by the favor of God, the miraculous nature of God’s provision, and accompanied by signs and wonders! Because of Daniel’s prayer, Angel Armies were dispatched and Cyrus released Israel to return and provided the finances to rebuild the Temple.

Many heard the call and to return and build and were obedient to volunteer for the work of rebuilding the House of God, but many had become settled and comfortable and chose to remain in captivity rather than take the risk into unknown territory!

The people of God have now arrived at such a time in history mirrored in the books of Haggai and Zechariah. Just as with the exiles, over time, the fire present in the early Church has diminished—replaced with religion and the idolatry of self. Complacency followed due to the desire for self-comfort, and self-interests—their desire to build their own houses and empires, were raised above God’s interests!

Ichabod—the Glory has departed became written over much of the Church over history as the Glory of God departed. The lack of God’s Glory has led to much lack in the House of God! As it was then, the Father is now asking us to consider our ways:

“You have sown much, and bring in little; You eat, but do not have enough; you drink, but you are not filled with drink; you clothe yourselves, but no one is warm; And he who earns wages, earns wages to put into a bag with holes.” Haggai 1:6-11

Thus says the LORD of Hosts: “Consider your ways! Go up to the mountain and bring wood and build the temple, that I may take pleasure in it and be glorified,” says the LORD. “You looked for much, but indeed it came to little; and when you brought it home, I blew it away. Why?” says the LORD of Hosts. “Because of My house that is in ruins, while every one of you runs to his own house. Therefore the heavens above you withhold the dew, and the earth withholds its fruit. For I called for a drought on the land and the mountains, on the grain and the new wine and the oil, on whatever the ground brings forth, on men and livestock and on all the labor of your hands.” 

The Father is now calling for a great move of repentance in the hearts of His people. He is once again sounding the call to return from the captivity brought on by self-interests, the spirit of religion, pride, and works of the flesh, to build the House of God according to the measure of the stature of Christ in the fullness of His Glory—A Holy Place aligned to the Plumb Line of Christ’s Mind, Heart, and Ways!

He is now saying to all His people in every nation from every tribe, and especially to Israel:

“YET NOW BE STRONG…all of you people of the land, and work, for I am with you.” says the LORD of hosts, according to the word I covenanted with you when you came out of Egypt, so My spirit remains among you; do not fear!” “FOR THUS SAYS THE LORD OF HOSTS: ‘ONCE MORE (IT IS A LITTLE WHILE) I WILL SHAKE HEAVEN AND EARTH, THE SEA AND DRY LAND; AND I WILL SHAKE ALL NATIONS, AND THEY SHALL COME TO THE DESIRE OF ALL NATIONS, AND I WILL FILL THIS TEMPLE WITH GLORY,’ SAYS THE LORD OF HOSTS. THE SILVER IS MINE, AND THE GOLD IS MINE,’ SAYS THE LORD OF HOSTS. THE GLORY OF THIS LATTER TEMPLE SHALL BE GREATER THAN THE FORMER,’ SAYS THE LORD OF HOSTS. ‘AND IN THIS PLACE I WILL GIVE PEACE,’ SAYS THE LORD OF HOSTS.” Haggai 2:4-9

After a long season of refining and preparation God is now releasing His great Armies in Heaven and on Earth, in a divine coalition to defeat the powers of darkness in the Dance orchestrated by Heaven! God is blowing the trumpet and calling the Israel of God to return with Him to complete the House of God begun in Jerusalem. The call is now going out to rebuild the end-time Temple—The Headstone of the House of God—with shouts of Grace, Grace to it (each. 4:7)

God has prepared this Generation for such a time and for such a task! A generation that has ascended to union with Christ in Mind & Heart, to become a mature Man of great authority (Ephes. 4:13).

When both the Tabernacle of Moses and the Temple of Solomon were completed according to God’s specifications, the Glory of God came and filled the Temple!  The measure that the House of God is structured according to the Father’s design—whether individually or corporately—determines the measure of His Glory it will reflect. At the completion of the end-time Temple in the book of Ezekiel, God’s declaration over it is Yahweh Shamah.

“…the name of the city from that day shall be, ‘The LORD is there.”  Ezekiel 48:35 

Jesus is the Pattern of the House of God, and the Pattern of the New Man God has been fashioning over the centuries. Jesus is the Plumb Line that holds all things to account pertaining to Yahweh’s House. For three years on this earth, Jesus worked with the Father to prepare a corporate vessel fashioned in His very likeness. On the Day of Pentecost, the vessel was made ready to be filled with His Divine Life. The Holy Spirit fell and ‘Yahweh Shamah—THE LORD HE IS THERE became written over the Temple of God!

Apostles, raised up by Him were released to ensure that the blueprint remained true to the specifications of the Christ.  Over the following two thousand years, because of a variety of reasons, the Pattern became misunderstood and corrupted. Jesus Christ is as vast and in-depth as our forever expanding universe— yet every detail of the Temple of God must be true to Him, nothing is left to chance or to the flesh!

“They serve at a sanctuary that is a copy and shadow of what is in heaven. This is why Moses was warned when he was about to build the tabernacle: “See to it that you make everything according to the pattern shown you on the Mountain.”  Hebrews 8:5

Every detail of Christ revealed through His first coming—the manner in which He came; the heavenly precepts and principles that He taught and lived by, the nation and culture He chose to be born into—the body prepared for Him (Heb. 10:5); His death on the Cross, resurrection and ascension—were meticulously planned before the foundation of the earth, and all are vital parts to the Blueprint of the future habitation of God in corporate Man—IF WE BUILD WHAT HE BUILT, HE WILL RETURN TO FILL IT with His Glory!

Throughout History, since the time of Pentecost, key features of the blueprint were lost and are presently being restored. As the mixture is being removed, the heavens are opening, and the Body is being prepared to receive a fresh revelation of ‘The Christ’ in Glory! God is releasing us from the captivity of the mindset of religious pride and idolatry, to return now to build the final and last phase of Yahweh’s House, blueprinted by God, prepared for Christ at His return. Religion is being stripped away as the Body prepares to mount up with the wings of eagles to fly once again in the Spirit!

“For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, or straw, their work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person’s work.” 1 Corinthians 3:11-13

There is a call being sounded to Return and build a Holy place for His habitation, built according to the Plumb Line of Christ, acceptable to Him, having His fragrance, DNA, and Presence.

BUILD WITH THE SILVER & GOLD YOU HAVE PURCHASED!

Carnal works cannot build the House of God! The only substance God uses to build His House, having continuity into eternity, is the Silver and Gold tried in the Consuming Fire that is God! A new refined people of courage and fortitude like Nehemiah and Zechariah, came forth from a season of trial in captivity carrying with them God’s heart and blueprint for His House in Jerusalem. Seventy years of captivity in the fire produced the gold required to rebuild the House of God!

“When the LORD brought back the captivity of Zion, We were like those who dream. Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing. Then they said among the nations, “The LORD has done great things for them.”… Those who sow in tears Shall reap in joy.”  Psalm 126:4

It is God’s dream and His great longing that His children would attain to a level of the stature of His Son, produced by His substance that has value, that lasts for eternity—substance that builds the Kingdom of God—not our kingdoms or earthly empires (Eph. 4:13).

Paul instructed the Church to build only on the foundation that was divinely laid in Christ. Paul’s focus was never on fame, glory, or recognition for the work he accomplished…he said if it was the approval of men he desired; he would not be a servant of God (Gal. 1:10).

“But who can endure the day of his coming? Who can stand when he appears? For he will be like a refiner’s fire or a launderer’s soap. HE WILL SIT AS A REFINER AND PURIFIER OF SILVER; HE WILL PURIFY THE LEVITES AND REFINE THEM LIKE GOLD AND SILVER. Then the LORD will have men who will bring offerings in righteousness, and the offerings of Judah and Jerusalem will be acceptable to the LORD, as in days gone by, as in former years…” Malachi 3:2-5

I believe God is now asking us, in the closing days of history: “What are you building? Bring your gold…whatever you have and build My House—A place where I who am the God of eternity, the beginning and the end, can dwell. A Place where I can make my eternal habitation, where you will not be destroyed by the fire of My Presence, because it is built from the very essence of My Life.

I believe God is asking every one of His children at this significant moment in history, as we are about to be launched out and catapulted into the time of the summing up of all things, “Are you with Me? Are you sold out to My agenda? Are you in time with Me? Are you in line with My will?” Are you ready to build My House?
