Due to the rampant COVID infections in our area of North Carolina, I have spent much of my last two years seeing few people (other than my two administrative assistants.) We have kept the fire burning on the altar of the prayer however, and we are expanding the website with motion and music. Also, we are recording the books. In other words we are busy, busy, busy – but inside.
But one day I was outside watering the flower boxes and was approached by a lady and her husband who were visiting Prayer Mountain for the first time. She knew nothing of its history – but was instructed by the Lord to travel to Prayer Mountain in Moravian Falls. It seems as though she was visiting locations pointed out to her by the Lord.
The Gift
She carried with her five plumb lines and was taking each to a location designated by the Lord. She had never heard of The Moravian Falls House of Prayer, but realized – when she did hear – that the structure to be built as a chapel on Prayer Mountain was to receive the last of the five plumb lines.
Below is the plumb line brought to The Moravian Falls House of Prayer.
Why is this important? Well – anytime the Lord sends you a gift it is significant. But this gift is a tool for building – and building accurately – and we want that. Of course we are expecting the physical structure to be correctly built – but we are especially concerned that we build spiritually on the Rock of Christ: Jesus being the chief cornerstone.
As it is said in Isaiah 28:16-17b. “Therefore, thus says the Lord God, ‘behold, I am the One who has laid as a foundation in Zion, a Stone, a tested Stone, a precious Cornerstone, of a sure foundation. Whoever believes will not be in haste – 17. And I will make justice the line and righteousness the plumb line…’”
Our Heart
It is our hearts’ desire to see God Almighty build His chapel –unmixed with our flesh, that He will direct and make all decisions in accordance with His deep desires and that we will wait on Him and follow His commands. We want Him, Him and only Him.
It says in His Word that He will build His church (both physical and spiritual) and we want to give Him the time and space that allows Him to fulfill His word. We don’t want to push anything in or through our flesh.
We are grateful for the plumb line.
