  • update on tent of meeting: for everything there is a season...

    My dear brothers and sisters in Christ and co-laborers in Him,

    I started up tent of meeting just over eight months ago on March 28, 2009, though I didn't make my first public post until April 14, 2009, when I explained more of my vision/mission for this website.

    I've never wanted to post anything here (or on my other blog) that I didn't believe God was leading me to post. I didn't just want to post a prayer here to say I've posted something. Even though I have continued to pray for revival on my own, I've not felt led to post prayers here as regularly as of late. I know that part of the reason is because of the shaking, refining and purifying God has been doing in my own life.

    I have decided that for a time I need to consciously put this website aside to pray and seek His face privately. This is something I've been contemplating for a while now. I'm not quite sure when I might begin posting again here, but I do know as God strengthens me it is my earnest desire to continue to pray for revival. I hope and pray you will continue to pray for revival as well.

    I still wholeheartedly agree with what I wrote in my very first post here, I am burdened to pray to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ for restoration, reformation and revival of Christ's church.

    I am thankful for each of you, as well as for others throughout the world whom God is raising up to pray for revival. I thank all of you for your prayers and encouragements. I also thank those of you whose prayers I have posted here.

    I am convinced there is no hope for the Church apart from God's Spirit falling afresh on us.

    Here are some other concerns I have been and will be continuing to pray about.

    I am praying God would bring together in a more cohesive way those of us who have a heart for revival and have received a calling to pray for revival. I believe we are spread too thinly on the wall. I'm not quite sure how that might look in reality, but I have been feeling for some time that we need to be strategic as we rebuild the wall (think Nehemiah). By strategic I don't mean resorting to worldly means but seeking God's ways and His wisdom. The three fold cord is not quickly broken. I confess I have often been tempted to feel like Elijah, that there are no others out there, even though I know there are others. God always has a remnant He is calling. I pray God might raise up a fellowship of believers who can support, uphold and encourage one another as we pray and so we can then be mobilized and sent out into our home churches and communities on mission for Him. I am praying that those of us who have had a taste of revival in our own lives would be able to take that into our churches. I know there are some of us who are specifically called to this blogging community, but all of us are called to battle on the home front as well.

    I am praying God would begin to raise up people in the local church to disciple and equip the saints both now and as revival does come, for there will be an influx of hungry souls needing meat. We should all be praying about our responsibility and role in that.

    As I said, I hope you will continue to pray. I'm not shutting down the site, so I invite you to come back and read and pray through the prayers that have already been posted. I recently went back and tagged my posts so you may find it a bit easier to search through the blog.

    I would also encourage you to read George Whitefield's sermon "Intercession, every Christian's Duty."

    Let us continue in prayer knowing that

    The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. James 5:16.

    It has been a privilege and blessing to march alongside you here. May we continue in prayer so we do not faint. By faith and patience we will inherit the promises.

    If you wish to contact me, you can do so through private message.

    Yours in Christ, seeking His face, with much affection,
    Karen

"he called it the tent of meeting..."

I am burdened to pray to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ for the reformation and reviving of Christ's church.

The phrase tent of meeting comes from Exodus 33:7: Now Moses used to take the tent and pitch it outside the camp, far off from the camp, and he called it the tent of meeting. And everyone who sought the Lord would go out to the tent of meeting, which was outside the camp.

This site is devoted to God first and foremost. In all that is done here, my prayer is that God is glorified and His Name magnified and Christ and Him crucified is lifted up so He might be preeminent and God might receive all the praise, honor and glory due His Holy Name. All who have come to a saving knowledge of our Father by grace through faith in the all-sufficient sacrifice of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ are welcome to enter this tent of meeting to seek the Lord.

This blog is a place for all believers in the Lord Jesus Christ to come and seek God's face for revival. My intention is for this tent of meeting to be a holy place where we can enter into PRAYER together to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, as the Holy Spirit leads you, please enter into prayer either here (think of "comments" as prayers) or on your own.

Habakkuk 3:2 O LORD, I have heard the report of you, and your work, O LORD, do I fear. In the midst of the years revive it; in the midst of the years make it known; in wrath remember mercy.
