We have an upcoming gathering that will take place in Beaumont Texas, in July. As I was working on some things regarding this "Convocation", the Lord began to deal with me to explain it. Why were we doing this, what was the purpose? In the past, we had seen various denominational meetings called convocations, but in reality, they were denominational conventions. So, what did the Lord want?
He took me to Scripture and began to break down the essence of the Convocation that HE was calling. I submit that information to you in this writing.
The Vision Of
“The Word Of HIS Power...Convocation 2012”
Convocation Dates - July 8-14, 2012 in Beaumont Texas
Habakkuk 2:2-3
At the beginning of the year of 2011, when the Lord began to deal with me regarding this upcoming Convocation, I must admit, I thought of a convocation as many others have had them. They were, in part, church services, part musical showcases, part vacation. It was simply a time to get everybody together that was part of your group, or just wanted to “have church”. As time went on, the Lord brought me to a place of realizing He wanted to do much more.
As I write this to you, I ask you to prayerfully consider and ask the Lord if He will allow you to “catch this vision” and “run” with it, along with myself and others.
During the last few weeks and days, the Lord took me to the Scriptures that mentioned “convocation”. First of all, the word “convocation” means a calling together, a sacred assembly, something called out. So, during this time: The Lord is calling us out and together for a sacred gathering. He is planning on doing a work in those who will answer and show up.
In Exodus 12:16, the Word says that “no manner of work shall be done”. The revelation that the Lord gave to me was that we are not to do “business as usual”. We cannot approach this as the “same old church service”. Don't expect the “same old same old”. The Word goes on to say, “every man must eat”. The concentration and the only work allowed is to eat, I believe, of the spiritual food. We can eat the regular food too. But, the Convocation is about being fed spiritually.
When we look at Leviticus 23:27, it says, “ye shall afflict your souls”...”an offering made by fire”. This tells us that we should come before Him humbly and bowed down (in worship), to the place where our soulish nature is brought under subjection and offer ourselves as a sacrifice unto the Lord (Romans 12:1).
Numbers 29:1 tells us it is “ a day of blowing of the trumpets”. The Hebrew word that is used means, alarm, signal, shout, blast of war, alarm of joy, battle cry, blast for march. This Convocation is a time to celebrate the joy of the Lord, sound the alarm, declare war, give the battle cry and deliver marching orders.But, according to verse 12, we have a feast. It is a time to celebrate the Lord.
Therefore, here is the Vision of “The Word Of HIS Power...Convocation 2012...
The Lord is calling us out and together for a sacred gathering.
His plan is to do a work in all those who will answer the call of gathering.
We cannot approach this as the “same old church service”. We must expect His “new”!
We must eat of the spiritual food.
Come before Him humbly, place our soulish nature under subjection, offer ourselves as a sacrifice unto the Lord (Romans 12:1).
Celebrate the joy of the Lord; Sound The Alarm; Declare War; Hear The Battle Cry; Receive Marching Orders.
Celebrate the Lord.
Will you “catch” the Vision and join me and “run” with me July 8-14, 2012, in Beaumont Texas?
