In the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve dwelled in God\u2019s presence. But after the fall of men, His Presence was removed. However, God re-established the covenant with men back through Abraham. Abraham met up with the high priest King Melchizedek \u2013 believed to be Jesus Christ \u2013 who blessed Abraham. (Psalm 110, Matt 22:41-46)<\/span><\/p>\n In other words, even before Jesus came in the flesh, the process of restoration already begun! We were told that Abraham was justified by faith at that time. (Gen 15:6)<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The other time King Melchizedek was mentioned was by King David. Even though David was king, he knew that he was part of the priesthood of Melchizedek, a part of a higher kingdom. (Psalm 110)<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cKing David had such a passion for God that he wanted to see the Kingdom of Heavens come down on earth. He wanted to see the Garden of Eden restored. So, he started 24\/7. He was not a pastor or an intercessor, but he was the king of Israel and he had such a passion,\u201d said Tom.<\/span><\/p>\n King David was the first to start 24\/7 prayer and worship in a tabernacle. And God filled his kingdom with His Glory and Presence, extending his kingdom from the Niles to the Euphrates.<\/span><\/p>\n In fact, the tabernacle of David was not only made out of Jews. But David\u2019s great grandmother was a Moabite named Ruth who got married with Boaz, an Israelite.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWe thank God for King David. In the tabernacle of David, Jews and Gentiles were worshiping together! How many people thank God? This was the church in the wildnerness. So, we see the whole dynamic of one new man even happening in the kingdom of David, even in the time of Ruth and Boaz,\u201d said Tom.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Worship and prayer 24\/7 happened in David\u2019s and also Solomon\u2019s kingdom. But in 70 AD, the temple of Jerusalem was destroyed by the Romans, and the Jewish people were scattered. But Scripture tells us about the restoration of David\u2019s tabernacle, in other words, the promised nation Jerusalem.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cIn that day I will raise up<\/span><\/p>\n the booth of David that is fallen<\/span><\/p>\n and repair its breaches,<\/span><\/p>\n and raise up its ruins<\/span><\/p>\n and rebuild it as in the days of old,<\/span><\/p>\n that they may possess the remnant of Edom<\/span><\/p>\n and all the nations who are called by my name,\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n declares the Lord who does this. (Amos 9:11-12)<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n And so, in 1948, the promised nation Jerusalem is restored, which is the foundation of the restoration of the tabernacle of David. God is not only restoring this nation, he\u2019s also restoring the church. Since the promised nation\u2019s restoration, Tom has also observed that there was a great outpouring of the Holy Spirit all over the world, pointed out by the book of Acts.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The words of the prophets are in agreement with this, as it is written: \u201c\u202f\u2018After this I will return and rebuild David\u2019s fallen tent. Its ruins I will rebuild, and I will restore it, that the rest of mankind may seek the Lord, even all the Gentiles who bear my name, says the Lord, who does these things\u2019 \u2014 things known from long ago. (Acts 15:15-18)<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cGod speaks to me, \u2018Sovereignly, I call you to leave United States and to go to Jerusalem.\u2019 People thought that I was going crazy. Half of my finances, as soon as I decided, are gone. But God gave me Isaiah 62,\u201d said Tom.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n I have posted watchmen on your walls, Jerusalem; they will never be silent day or night. You who call on the Lord, give yourselves no rest, and give him no rest till he establishes Jerusalem and makes her the praise of the earth.<\/span><\/p>\n (Isaiah 62:6-7)<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n So, Tom began his ministry in the promised nation in the year 1987 and he has never stopped since then for 28 years. In the first seven years, all they did was worship and pray non-stop. And the breakthroughs came after seven years. Worshiping 24\/7 has always been their priority.<\/span><\/p>\n Besides that, God has also gave them a vision to start playing harps. And today, they have 24 harpists playing day and night, reflecting the 24 elders in Heaven worshiping God.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cPraise God! God is birthing 24\/7 all over the world! The year that it really broke open in its fullness is 1998. This is what began in Indonesia, China, Germany, Latin America, and all over the world. How many people thank God that He is restoring the tabernacle of David?\u201d said Tom.<\/span><\/p>\n At least 500 places that are full-blown and mature 24\/7 prayer and worship altars are going on worldwide. And there are 20,000 places with prayer houses, with the hope of maturing into becoming 24\/7 prayer houses.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWe should be joining together in every church, in every city, joining together with the heavens, day and night, they will sing for Jesus. How many people want to see Heaven in your life, happening in your church, and also your city?\u201d said Tom.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n We know that Mark Zuckerberg started Facebook. But there is another Jewish person who started another kind of Facebook<\/em>, whose name is King Yeshua. And we know that God\u2019s glory is displayed in Yeshua\u2019s face. (2 Cor 4:6)<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n For God, who said, \u2018Let light shine out of darkness,\u2019 made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God\u2019s glory displayed in the face of Christ. (2 Cor 4:6)<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n \u201cEvery believer\u2019s name is written in the Lamb\u2019s book of life. So, every believer is on God\u2019s Facebook. But the question is, \u2018How many times do we access into God\u2019s face?\u2019 If you are on Facebook, you have many friends but who is your best friend?\u201d said Tom.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n David says, \u201cOne thing I ask from the LORD, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple.\u201d (Psalm 27:4)<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cSo, let\u2019s turn to the King, let\u2019s sing to the face of the King! Let\u2019s pray because He has shed His blood for us, so we can be on His Facebook. We are written in the book of life. Seek ye His Face. How many people thank God for Yeshua for putting us in His Facebook for all eternity? Praise God!\u201d said Tom.<\/span><\/p>\n God is restoring the tabernacle of David, which was once a limited an localized place at that time. But now, it has spread out to all over the world with eight 24\/7 prayer places in Israel, all the way to Tahiti, Honolulu, Cape Town, and Norway.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cGod is doing a worldwide tent, with a tent peg from the the ends of the earth back to the promised nation,\u201d said Tom.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Setting up 24\/7 prayer altars is powerful! Tom recalled how a church planter would worship day and night for three days before starting the church, and they had more than 100 people on their first week. In India, a church movement, which had 24\/7 prayer altars grew in a decade, from 900 to 200,000 people.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI also see, now beginning there are more 24\/7 prayer movements in Malaysia. This is the key to the opened heavens, the key to the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. We believe God for the fullness of 24\/7 in Malaysia for the fullness of the harvest! And we are praying for you. Indonesia is praying for you!\u201d said Tom.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n In that day I will raise up\u00a0the booth of David that is fallen and repair its breaches,\u00a0and raise up its ruins and rebuild it as in the days of old (Amos 9:11)<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n \u201cThe days are coming,\u201d declares the Lord, \u201cwhen the reaper will be overtaken by the plowman and the planter by the one treading grapes. New wine will drip from the mountains and flow from all the hills.\u201d (Amos 9:13)<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n In Amos 9, there are two aspects in the tabernacle of David. The first aspect is the reaper overtaking the plowman, meaning many people will get saved so much, that we cannot keep up with it.<\/span><\/p>\n The second aspect is \u2018new wine will drip from the mountains and flow from all the hills,\u2019 which talks about the intimacy with God as His Bride. Jesus is calling us to be closer to Him, the groom.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cSo, as we are spending time in His Presence, seeking first His Presence, hallelujah we will be changed from glory to glory until we are like Him. Some places say that the tabernacle of David is only about intimacy. But the primary Scripture on Amos 9 shows that it has to do with both, harvest and intimacy,\u201d said Tom.<\/span><\/p>\n![\"Tom](\"http:\/\/christianitymalaysia.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/IMG_3366.jpg\")
