Keeper of the house of David
Greetings in the Name of Jesus,
I wanted to share this message with everyone to help encourage you all in the faith and to lift you up to keep pressing on in the vision the Lord has given you for our community and all who are willing to receive!
The Keeper of the House of David
2 Sam. Chp 7:8-17
" Now therefore so shalt thou say unto my servant David. Thus saith the Lord of Hosts, I took thee from the sheepcote, from following the sheep, to be ruler over my people, over Israel.
And I was with thee withsoever thou wentest, and have cut off all thy enemies out of thy sight, and have made thee a great name, like unto the name of the great men that are in the earth.
Moreover I will appoint a place for my people Israel and will plant them, that may dwell in a place of their own, and move no more: neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more, as before.
And as since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel, and have caused thee to rest from thine enemies. Also the Lord telleth thee that he will make thee an house.
And when thy days be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom.
He shall build an house for my name, and I will stablish the throne of his kingdom forever.
I will be his father, and he will be my son. If he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the the stripes of the children of men:
But my mercy shall not depart away from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before thee.
And thy house and thy kingdom shall be established for ever before thee: thy throne shall be established for ever.
According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak unto David."
This was in response to the desire of David to build a temple for the Lord,(2 Sam7:2) but because of the blood on his hands, ( not of war, but the blood of Uriah), but David was told by God that he would not build the temple. Solomon would build the temple.
God's plan was greater He would build a house for David!
Christ in us, not with us, in us, the hope of glory!
1 Chr. 17:23-26
"Therefore now, Lord, let the thing that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant and concerning his house be established forever, and do as thou hast said.
Let it even be established that thy name may be magnified for ever, saying, The Lord of hosts is the God of Israel, even a God to Israel: and let the house of David they servant be established before thee.
For thou, O my God, hast told thy servant that thou wilt build him an house: therefore thy servant hath found in his heart to pray for thee.
And now, Lord, thou art God, and hast promised this goodness unto thy servant."
God said, "I'm gonna build you a house" and David said, "Let thy name and thy word be established forever."
No matter what happens, even if we don't see it in our life time if God gives a promise and makes a covenant He will not remove or take it away He is faithful!
Isaiah 22:22
" And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut and none shall open"
The confirmation!
Rev. 3:7
" And to the angel of the church of Philadelphia a write: These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth and no man openeth"
Rev. 22:16
"I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star."
God's plan from the foundation of the world will not be stopped!
There is a reason we are called to come out and be ye separate. Even after the fall of Adam and Eve, and we were all sinners, God still had a people that were different.
When Seth was born then began people to call upon the name of the Lord! (Gen. 4:26)
There was a distinguisment "the sons of God, and those from Cain, "the sons of men."
When the seeds began to mix then God told Noah to build an ark! God was willing to destroy them to cleanse the earth.
(Gen. 12:1) God told Abraham to get out of his country, and kindred, unto a land that he would show him!
Now here is an example of a man that walked by faith! Abraham's father was an idol builder, and against all odds, Abraham obeyed the voice of God, and God called Abraham a friend!
Sometimes no matter how far fetched it seems, or impossible, if we follow what the Lord tells us to do he will perform that which He has promised! At 90 years old Sarah and Abraham got the news they were gonna have a baby! Nothing is impossible with God, because he promised that he would multiply the seed of Abraham as the sands of the sea!
I am going to continue with God's promise to David!
God promised to come in another form the Holy Ghost, and that this would be first poured out on the house of David!
Zech.12:10
"And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they will look upon ME whom shall have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn."
Joel 2:28
"And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy..."
Zech 13:1,6
""In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and uncleaness."
Isaiah 9:7
""Of the increase of his governement and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgement and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this."
Luke 1:32
""He shall be great and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David"
Now David slept with his fathers and was buried in the City of David, which is Jerusalem. 1Kings 2:10
Now, when Peter preached the message on the day of Pentecost he starts with talking about David. This is very significant because the upper room in Jerusalem is above the tomb of David with 19 crowns of the kings that followed from the seed of David.
And the upper room was where the Holy Ghost was first poured out!
Now, the reason Peter began to preach the message starting with the patriarch David is that the Jews were still gathering outside the seplucre of David praying for the messiah to come because they knew God had promised this!
And now Peter had to tell them he already performed that which he had promised! The one true God almighty came as the messiah in human form and became the sacrifice as was prophesied!
Weeping may endure for a night, we all may falter, but with repentance joy comes in the morning!
The purpose of this message is to say that if God has promised something, He will do it!
And we know that He has promised to pour out his Spirit upon all flesh and this message of Salvation will be preached to everyone.
God has given this ministry a promise to see great things happen in our community. I don't know when, and I don't know how, but I know that God will perform that which he has promised!
I pray that you find this message a blessing and that you will hold steadfast to the promise God has given you and purposed for your life.
In Jesus Name

Welcome to Children of Azusa Street. Feel free to invite your friends.
Over 100 years ago people moved by a desire to see a greater outpouring of the Holy Spirit began to seek God. The catalyst for that movement was a revival in Los Angeles, California that became known as the Azusa Street Revival. Those who post here are the beneficiaries of that great move of God some call the "second Pentecost". We envision the day when a million believers who trace their roots Azusa Street are fellowshipping here. Encourage your friends and family to join with us.
Post all you like, join the forums, post your writings, chat with your friends, etc. Perhaps we will see another movement come from hungry people? Our goal here is to see all those who trace their roots to Azusa Street come together in dialogue.
Welcome.
Blessings!
Hope yu make some new friends here
