Thy Servant’s House

2 Samuel 7:

1 And it came to pass, when the king sat in his house, and the Lord had given him rest round about from all his enemies;

2 That the king said unto Nathan the prophet, See now, I dwell in an house of cedar, but the ark of God dwelleth within curtains.

3 And Nathan said to the king, Go, do all that is in thine heart; for the Lord is with thee.

4 And it came to pass that night, that the word of the Lord came unto Nathan, saying,

5 Go and tell my servant David, Thus saith the Lord, Shalt thou build me an house for me to dwell in?

8 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:

In 1970 God took me out of my veterinary practice, took me out from following the horses and said, “Obey me,” and in 1974 God anointed me to preach the gospel in Jerusalem at the Garden Tomb.

9 And I was with thee whithersoever thou wentest, and have cut off all thine 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.

God has been with me all these years, he has never let my foot slip and he has taken my enemies out of my sight.

11 And as since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel, and have caused thee to rest from all thine enemies. Also the Lord telleth thee that he will make thee an house.

15 But my mercy shall not depart away from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before thee.

God told me in 1986, “Because you have obeyed me, my mercy will never depart from your house.”

16 And thine house and thy kingdom shall be established for ever before thee: thy throne shall be established for ever.

17 According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak unto David.

18 Then went king David in, and sat before the Lord, and he said, Who am I, O Lord God? and what is my house, that thou hast brought me hitherto?

19 And this was yet a small thing in thy sight, O Lord God; but thou hast spoken also of thy servant's house for a great while to come. And is this the manner of man, O Lord God?

20 And what can David say more unto thee? for thou, Lord God, knowest thy servant.

I can say the same, the Lord God knows me and I know Jesus and I know my Father, Jehovah.

21 For thy word's sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou done all these great things, to make thy servant know them.

22 Wherefore thou art great, O Lord God: for there is none like thee, neither is there any God beside thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.

23 And what one nation in the earth is like thy people, even like Israel, whom God went to redeem for a people to himself, and to make him a name, and to do for you great things and terrible, for thy land, before thy people, which thou redeemedst to thee from Egypt, from the nations and their gods?

24 For thou hast confirmed to thyself thy people Israel to be a people unto thee for ever: and thou, Lord, art become their God.

25 And now, O Lord God, the word that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant, and concerning his house, establish it for ever, and do as thou hast said.

26 And let thy name be magnified for ever, saying, The Lord of hosts is the God over Israel: and let the house of thy servant David be established before thee.

27 For thou, O Lord of hosts, God of Israel, hast revealed to thy servant, saying, I will build thee an house: therefore hath thy servant found in his heart to pray this prayer unto thee.

28 And now, O Lord God, thou art that God, and thy words be true, and thou hast promised this goodness unto thy servant:

29 Therefore now let it please thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may continue for ever before thee: for thou, O Lord God, hast spoken it: and with thy blessing let the house of thy servant be blessed for ever.

When I was in Argyle in 1975 God ministered 2 Samuel Chapter 7 to me, convinced me, that I like David, had a ministry that endured forever. The words he spoke amazed me. Just as King David said, “Who am I O Lord God?” those were my thoughts, “Who am I Lord?” I prayed verse 25 hundreds of times, assured that what God was saying was, he would do the same for me, build me a house and establish it forever. It was in my heart. Today I am more convinced.

God said to me on May 22nd of this year:

“I’ve chosen you, sent you to the four corners of the earth to deliver my word without spare or fear, saith the Lord of Hosts.”

And on June 19th, he said:

“The time is near, look not right, look not to the left but look straight ahead where the table is set and the time is now; believe the Lord your God and so shall you be established.”

God has built me a house and given me a people; he has chosen me and sent me to the four corners of the earth to deliver his word, the table is set, the time is now.

God bless,
