A Three Dimensional Worship

All things concerning David’s pattern of worship has three tiers, levels, or dimensions depending on the category, thus you will see a progression of three eras concerning the priestly role. There is a noticeable increase with each successive period of time.

Priestly Function: 1) Mosaic era, only the high priest ministered to God, 2) Davidic era, the Levites were included with the high priest, and 3) Today all of us are priests.

Tabernacles: 1) One Mosaic Tabernacle, 2) Two Davidic Tabernacles, and 3) Today, all of us have a Tabernacle within.

The Manifested Presence and Glory of God: 1) Mosaic era, at the Tabernacle, 2) Davidic era, inside the tent and the Old Mosaic Tabernacle, and 3) Today, the glory is inside us with outward manifestations.

Davidic Pattern Operates: 1) In our lifestyle: internally – how we think; externally – our personal devotional time, 2) In our songs: personal devotional time and collectively, and 3) In the physical activations of a Davidic Worship setting.

In January 2014 God gave me a sequel dream to the priestly office and the blood. Following are the details of this dream.

A Dream of Three Levels of Davidic Worship

A pastor invited Bobby and I for a tour of his church facility. The floor plan of this church was very unusual with the ceiling, floor, and walls in pristine white. As we waited for the service to begin on this main floor, the pastor was talking to us about worship when music began playing and the people began worshiping, yet I saw no band or worship team. Music just seemed to come from nowhere to permeate the atmosphere. As worship continued, some of the people began walking up a huge staircase that was built against the wall and curved around the sanctuary. I had not noticed this staircase until now, but it too was pristine white decorated with iron hand rails. I stood there amazed and wondered why we couldn’t see the second floor from here because everything was so open. The pastor went on to explain that the people were going up to the second floor where worship would intensify. Although we did not go up, I just knew by the Spirit that the worship there was different from the first floor. He further explained that as worship continued, the people could choose to ascend to the third floor where it would climax. He said that after worship ended at this third level, there was a staircase that took them outside and they never returned to the first floor to leave the facilities. Strangely though, I could not actually see the exiting staircase, yet by the Spirit I saw it going down the right side of the building.

It was not said, but there was a knowing in my spirit, that some people did not desire to ascend to the second level, and those that did, did not necessarily go to the third level. Each one had the choice of how high they chose to go, but those that went to the third floor never left the same way they came. No one was criticized for the level of worship they chose to do.

We remained on this first floor as the pastor continued to explain the layout and as the others were ascending in worship. On this first floor, the height of the ceiling was about as tall as a two-story building. There were no chairs, no musical instruments, or any other tangible items; without the people, there would be nothing in this room. Yet the room did not seem empty, it was filled with a tangible life, like the room itself breathed, and we could feel the physical presence of God. As the pastor continued to talk, I started walking around the room worshiping for a little while, then the Holy Ghost came upon me and I began dancing. As I have done so many times before in my dreams, I felt my feet leave the floor and I ascended in worship far above Bobby and the pastor, dancing and twirling before the Lord. I could clearly hear the pastor talking about this worship even though I was at the top of this room. I was not the only one worshiping, yet I was too caught up in twirling, dancing, and rejoicing before the Lord to notice what they were doing. In the spirit, I knew this was Davidic Worship and I was so happy knowing that they were ministering to God, but mostly I was ecstatic about dancing before the Lord!
