Day 35 of 100 Days: “Rebuilding David’s Tabernacle!” Read: 1 Samuel 30, 2 Samuel 5,
Meditate on Psalm 92
The restoration of David’s Tabernacle is advancing in the earth realm. Notice the present tense of
the preceding sentence. Every generation is called to build a Tabernacle of Praise. David built a new
model in the earth. Amos prophesied that this model would be built again. In Book of Acts, the apostles
said, “This is that which Amos prophesied!” In the Book of Revelation, John is brought into a heavenly
dimension and sees this tabernacle filled with a worshipping army. In latter days, the same army on earth
will express triumph because they have won the war in the heavens. We, God’s army in the earth, will
co-labor with the Host of Heaven to express a Holy God’s overcoming power throughout the nations of
the earth. This level of worship will unlock a global harvest.
David was a warrior. He knew the reality of an Almighty God and he praised Him violently. He
was a shepherd and a king. He had a heart after God and his heart had to release praise. Your violent
praise is preparing a storehouse for Kingdom harvest. Worship is the key issue at this time in the history
of the Church. I believe worship will dethrone any throne that the enemy has built in this world. Let us
stand together to put a canopy of protection around the nations as we worship, intercede and believe that
God will move on our behalf.
The other key issue that breaks us forth in times of crisis and change is the anointing. David was
anointed. His anointing was progressive. As a lad, the youngest of eight brothers from the House of
Jesse, he was anointed by Samuel. He was anointed as King of all of Israel. However, this anointing led
him through many dangers. He was anointed by Judah after winning a great battle at Ziklag. He was
eventually anointed by all of Israel to the HILL that no one had ever taken, a hill that David would name
Zion.
To do this he had to battle. To restore, recover all, and fulfill God’s ultimate plan, he had to war.
The Lord’ troops were led forward by sound. The goal of His company of saints was to establish His
glory. David’s ultimate goal as king was to get the Ark of His Covenant to the resting place on Zion’s
Hill. To do that, he and his mighty army had to “take the Hill” first. Once the Hill was taken, they had to
hear clearly how to advance. But the enemy also heard that this anointing and glory were on the move.
The Philistines, David’s long time enemy, heard of his new anointing and how David had taken the
Jebusites’ stronghold and secured the Hill for the Lord. They were determined to stop the Ark from
getting to the place that God had ordained. David had to maneuver his way past this enemy force, but to
do so he would have to hear the right sound!
The sound that he was to listen for was “the wind in the mulberry trees.” In 2 Samuel 5, David
had experienced a major breakthrough in his own life. What had been prophesied over him 29 years prior
had actually come into fulfillment. He then had to lead the armies forth into battle. When the Philistines
heard that David had been anointed as king, they rose up against him. David defeated the Philistines and
drove them out of his jurisdictional authority. However, they regrouped and came back at him again. He
asked the Lord if he was to pursue them. In 2 Samuel 5:24 the Lord answers, “And . . . when you hear the
sound of the marching in the tops of the mulberry trees, then you shall advance quickly.” The sound of
marching was not just the wind blowing the tops of the trees, but the Hosts of Heaven and the armies of
God rustling the leaves and signifying they were present to help David in victory.
This is a time to recognize the angels and Hosts of Heaven among us! If we will keep our spirits
active and in communion with Holy Spirit, we will begin to see the presence of God and His Hosts of
Heaven that are contending on our behalf. In the book of Revelation, we find the real issue is the
relationship between the sounds of heaven and the demonstration of God on earth. Sound leads us forth.
Be willing to allow the sounds of Heaven to order your actions today. Ask the Lord for a new anointing.
Do not be afraid to take “your hill”. Not only take the hill, but be willing to establish a new form of
worship in the place that God has called you to dwell. Let His glory and anointing in you shine outward.
Dwell with Him and watch Him tabernacle with you.
