Chapter 7

Restoring the House of Prayer for All Nations

Jesus said, "Is it not written, 'My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations'?" (seeMark 11:17)

I am grateful to be alive today. We're seeing the Son of God enter His Father's house again with fiery zeal to turn the tables on the agendas of wayward men. Once again the Lamb of God has stormed into His Papa's house with the zeal of the Lord of Hosts eating Him up. He isn't content just to turn over our tables of religious pomp and circumstance and man-pleasing programs. He is moving on to the cages that we've constructed with our rigid religion to confine and control the Dove of God, the Holy Spirit! I can almost hear Him say, "My Dove, men have thought to keep You in a cage, but I am going to rattle this cage once again and send You forth. For where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty."

I can almost imagine the scene in the temple of Herod, when a commotion arose on one side as the Spirit of God moved upon the children in the temple. I can imagine the Spirit causing even the smallest little children to prophesy and sing praises in ecstasy. Almost out loud, I can hear the disapproving murmurs of the religious crowd, "It hasn't been seen this way before, and we don't like it."

The zeal of the Lord of Hosts is loose in the land. The power and anointing in the Church is escalating as God releases the zeal of the Father's house upon His people. It brings holy boldness and an unquenchable spirit of prayer. It stems from the holy jealousy of God who is declaring in a loud voice, "I'm coming to take over My house and to claim My house for My own." In the Spirit, I can hear Jesus declare to this generation of believers:

"You have made My house into a den of thieves, but I say that My Father's house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations. As it was in the last days of My earthly ministry, so shall it be in the last days of My ministry in the earth by the power of the Holy Spirit. Zeal for My Father's house will come upon you, and there will be a declaration that shall go forth in the latter days.

There will be an understanding that will go forth: The Father's house is not first the house of preaching. The Father's house is not first the house of sacraments. The Father's house is not first a house of fellowship or supernatural gifts. My Father's house shall have many of these things, but My Father's house shall be known first as a house of prayer for all nations — of people being built together, holy, on fire, compassionate; of living stones being brought together as they seek My face. And there will be a smoke that shall come forth from these living stones being built together.
