“For we know that if the earthly tent which is our house is torn down, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.”
“Therefore thus says the Lord God, “Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a tested stone, A costly cornerstone for the foundation, firmly placed. He who believes in it will not be [f]disturbed. “I will make justice the measuring line And righteousness the level; Then hail will sweep away the refuge of lies and the waters will overflow the secret place.
Isaiah 28:16-17
“This precious value, then, is for you who believe; but for those who disbelieve, “The stone which the builders rejected, This became the very corner stone.”
1 Peter 2:7
Jesus is the rock of your salvation. He is the Cornerstone rejected by the builders, for they built a building by their own hands that did not include the Rock. They built around Him, around His precepts, but they did not build upon Him. In this day, the faulty foundation is being torn down. I will not stand by while My people are misled. I will not put up with the builders who continually reject the Cornerstone. The building will come down and the foundation will be removed.
In this day I have been building for Myself, a building built upon the Rock of Christ. This building is not built by the hands of men, but by the hands of God. In this building the name of the Lord is exalted and He is made the center of everyone’s attention. His works are declared amongst the assembly of the upright and His deeds are made known to the people. In this place no flesh receives glory, for every knee bows before the Lord and every tongue confesses that He alone is worthy of all praise and adoration. Righteousness prevails. The works of men are discarded in this place. They are not given a place of honor, but they are brought low and trampled beneath the feet of the servants of the Lord. Every act of disobedience is brought into the light, exposed, and trampled underfoot. Only a true worship is offered up to the Lord.
This is the building I am building in this day, says the Lord. This is the place where the people shall come into unity and the blessing shall be commanded. I am building My church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against her. Those who mock and scorn the exaltation of the Lord in the assembly will be cut off. Their mouths will be closed. They will not be able to hinder the flow of worship going up to the throneroom of God. They are not able to hinder the flow of blessing being released upon those who serve the Lord in song and worship. These shall worship the Lord continually. Day and night an offering of worship shall pour forth unto the Lord and this flow shall not cease, but will increase, for I am birthing worship into My people and they shall prophesy and they shall declare the goodness of God. They sing a new song unto their Maker, a song of joy and gladness, for they have been lifted up out of the ways of the world and participate together with the heavenly hosts to glorify the Lord.
Worship is the key that opens the door to the fullness available from the hands of God. Those who are mine will dance and sing and make melody unto the Lord, for they shall enter into the joy of the Lord and their joy shall be full.
