ALTAR — the place and the practice of meeting God before you do anything else. My day starts there.
FORMATION — being shaped into who God made you, on purpose and over time. Not a class. A process.
HOUSE — in Hebrew, bayit: the building, the family, and the dwelling place of God, all in one word. When I say house, I mean people God intends to live in.
PRIEST — one who keeps the fire. Stays at the altar. Brings people before God.
WATCHMAN — one who keeps the watch. Sees what is coming and says so.
GATEKEEPER — one who keeps the gate. Decides what comes in, and opens the door to the ones who belong.
THE WATCH — a set time of prayer, usually at night, held on purpose and held together.
APOSTLE — one sent to build. Not to gather a crowd, but to put foundations under people and structures that outlast the builder.
PROPHET — one God shows things to, for people rather than for performance.
OCCUPY THE LAND — take practical possession of what God has already given you. Not waiting for it. Standing in it.
