I walk upon the prayer path flanked by Gatherer and Builder. Our footsteps are in sync, like soldiers marching on parade.
Each time each step hits the ground it trembles, and all of nature stops to look at the source of this soft thunder.
We come to a stop on the banks of the river and Gatherer shouts over the water.
Gatherer:
“COME SONS OF GOD. MAKE THE EARTH SHAKE WITH YOUR ADVANCE!”
His voice thunders and echoes into the spiritual realm and I feel my skin prickle in awe.
Now Builder raises his voice.
Builder:
‘COME SONS OF GOD. MAKE THE EARTH SHAKE WITH YOUR OBEDIENCE!”
Both turn to me and I know I must sound a call with them, so I turn and shout.
Me:
“COME SONS OF GOD. FORSAKE YOUR LIVES SO THAT THE KINGDOM MAY SHAKE THIS EARTH!”

Gatherer:
“Mammon has the sons of God so enamored that they are paralyzed by public opinion. Indeed, they fall apart at the possibility of being criticized and are rendered paralytic by the possibility that others may gossip about them. Their lives are so dear to them that they do not fear failure as much as they fear the humiliation of failure. They care more about what man says about them than about what God says to them.”
Builder:
“They could make the ground shake if only they would march as one! Mankind begs and cries for the sons of God to show themselves son of sorrow. And the only way to show yourselves is to love one another and walk in unity of purpose.
Continue then to call the saints to unify in this vision. Continue to call the saints from every nation to play their pat in making this vision manifest. Continue to make the vision plain. If they truly hunger for an outpouring of the spirit of God and the salvation of mankind, they will unite. If they continue in numb indifference, they will not and this vision shall pass on, two generations hence.”
Gatherer:
“But shout with all your heart son of sorrow. And care not if you are hated for it. Let them be without excuse. They ask God what to do, he answers through his Courier and many remain deaf. If they would use their ears, He would not need a Courier in the first place.
For in the past God spoke through prophets but in these days He speaks through His son, who is the word. But they have forsaken the power of the word in favor of the power of public opinion.
Heed these words you who read what the courier records:
“Join yourself to this vision, whatever the cost, follow the blueprint we give. Do this and no building or storehouse will be big enough to contain what will come to you because of it.
Seek first the kingdom. Build your tribe but grow the kingdom. Work diligently with all your heart to make this vision come to pass and you will see unity and the power of God on display as you have seen it before.
For where there is unity, God commands blessing. And where you unite, He is there!
Shout for unity and be willing to be hated for it.
Truly, what does the opinion of a lost sheep matter to a man with a map? You have the way, the truth and the life. Close your ears to the liars, the manipulators, the critical and the fearful.
Seek first the kingdom. Before anything else, seek the kingdom and all will be added unto you!
Much more than you can ask or think or imagine. Obedience produces abundance for the kingdom of God is a rich kingdom. It is rich in every way! Peace, mercy, kindness, health, wealth, wisdom, protection and joy are all in abundance. Only be obedient and come out from among those unbelievers. Break the yoke upon you, block your ears to their empty criticism. Seek first the kingdom!
The kingdom is all!”
Builder:
“The kingdom is all!”
Me:
“The kingdom is all!”
I wake up.
