AUG. 22-SEPT. 11 PROPHETIC COUNTDOWN PROJECT—21 days of prayer with fasting and teshuvah. Like Daniel, lets “keep watching until!” 

SEPT. 11-12 PROPHETIC COUNTDOWN CONFERENCE with Jon & Jolene, host pastor Becky Castle. Launch Houston, Houston TX.

DEAR TABERNACLE DWELLERS,
THE COUNTDOWN CONTINUES! Don’t worry, I’m not going to flood your inbox every day. But it’s important to get this project off on the right foundation, casting vision for the priorities the Lord has given.  

First—A Call to Keep Watch!
Yesterday we shared an urgent call to keep watch through 9-11, countering any plans of darkness to strike our land again with terrorism. The fact that this year the 25th anniversary of 9-11-01  converges with Rosh Hashanah and Yom Teruah or the Feast of Trumpets, during the 250th anniversary of America’s independence, is significant both to the Lord and to the camp of the enemy. 

Iran was Complicit in 9-11-01
And we are currently at war with a nation that would like nothing better than to strike us on or around this date. In fact, not only would Iran and its proxies desire to strike us, but the tyrannical regime was actually complicit in the 9-11-01 strikes. Al Queda sought and gained Ayatollah Khomenei’s approval beforehand. Terrorists involved trained in Iran for the strikes, and allegedly found refuge there afterwards. There is even evidence that Iranian assets on the ground in America assisted the terrorists. 

If there were IRGC-aligned assets in America 25 years ago, there are certainly more cells now. Add to that the global reach of hackers and a solemn conclusion must be faced. We are not invulnerable. Keeping watch is an imperative, especially through 9-11.

Amos 9:11—Next Phase of Restoration!
That said, today’s post focuses on a positive, redemptive window related to September 11. Prophetically, as of the 25th anniversary of 9-11, I believe that the Amos 9:11 restoration of the Tabernacle of David is being emphasized and accelerated by the Lord once again. He is taking it to a new level. He is desiring to RESTORE OUR COVENANT COVERING. 

Amidst the rubble and ruin of 9-11-01, God’s trumpet sounded for the global restoration of the Amos 9:11 Tabernacle of David. A door had opened for God’s covenant covering to be restored. I prophesy to you that 25 years later, at the convergence of 9-11 with Rosh Hashanah and Yom Teruah, the trumpet is again ready to sound. The next phase of this sacred restoration is at hand. The Lord is releasing thrones of glory! Heaven and earth will join in throne room worship. Governmental authority in prayer will accelerate. And the door opens for His covenant covering to be nationally restored. 

Is the prayer movement new? Newly restored? Or both? I don’t know. But two days ago I had a brief dream that emphasized this restoration movement. Admittedly it might prove controversial. I will share it to close out our post. 

Bearing Witness! The Spirit of America Tour
But first, it’s important to note that so much of what we are sharing is an overflow of our recent Spirit of America Tour. On the 250th anniversary of American independence Jolene, myself and our team were asked by the Lord to bear witness to God’s covenant restoration from coast to coast. This covenant renewal occurred on May 17, 2026 in a large gathering on the National Mall. House Speaker Mike Johnson brought the sacred prayer securing this renewal. 

Biblically covenant restoration is always key to seeing Holy Spirit sweep into our land at a deeper level. We were able to partner with the saints in each state and welcome Him again! That from Boston to Anchorage, from Washington DC to Sacramento and Southern California, the Spirit of God would be invited to be the spiritual undercurrent and overarching influence of our land. The true Spirit of America!

Covenant Alignment & the Tabernacle of David
Secondly, right covenant alignment with the Lord is the primary key to unlocking the restoration of the Tabernacle of David. In Amos 9:11 the Lord declares He will rebuild the tabernacle as in the days of old, and repair its breaches. 

Long before King David set 24-7 worship in place, he worked to repair Israel’s most glaring breach with the Lord. He rescued the Ark of the Covenant, which had been sent into captivity due to the corruption of Israel’s priests. That’s a sobering thought given our current condition.

David restored the Ark to Jerusalem. In other words, he repaired Israel’s covenant with God, then brought the ark which bore witness to this covenant into the core of his governmental city. There the God of Israel was enthroned—literally hovering above the mercy seat, with the tablets engraved with God’s covenant right below. A 24-7 worship movement rooted in this covenant restoration then became the hallmark of the Tabernacle of David. 

Establishing Thrones of Glory
Worship alone does not enthrone the Lord. Your covenant establishes a throne for Him. Your worship invites Him to rest on the throne your covenant has established. 

And it was first a renewal of covenant alignment which welcomed the Lord back on to His seat. That’s what largely occurred this year!

And the door is opening in this season, encompassed by the convergence of 9-11 with Rosh Hashanah and the Feast of Trumpets, for the next phase of the restoration of David’s Tabernacle. With governmental authority rooted in covenant intimacy fueling a new prayer movement. Thrones of glory are being released!

Dream—Don’t Take a Seat, Take a Stand!
Now to the dream I mentioned. In the dream I was working to restore a large altar-platform for an upcoming service. I had a chair with me as some of the work could only be done while seated. When the altar-platform was largely restored, to my surprise a man who formerly led a major Amos 9:11 prayer movement walked across it. He was best known for building a very successful 24-7 house of prayer with a focus on the restoration of the Tabernacle of David. The movement gained its highest prominence beginning in the days following 9-11-01. But he was removed from his leadership position based on documented allegations of severe compromise of covenant over decades. What a tragic moment. A huge loss in so many ways for the body of Christ. 

In the dream, when this man stepped forward I grabbed my chair, stepped away from the platform, and tried to find a space in the first few rows of chairs for the congregation just beyond. There were no spaces for my chair. I realized my post was not in the rows of spectators but tending the platform. 

When I awoke from the dream, I heard the Lord say simply “DON’T TAKE A SEAT—TAKE A STAND.” 

Here’s What We’re Standing For!
So today I am fulfilling this mandate. In this season we can potentially see the next phase of restoration of a movement so hindered by past compromise. In this season covenant with Christ has been governmentally restored. Look to Isaiah 22 for a pattern. We take a stand for:

1. A prayer and worship movement in the spirit of the Tabernacle of David, with Throne Room worship rooted in covenant with the King, Yeshua Hamashiach. 

2. A prayer and worship movement encompassed and saturated by the manifest presence of Holy Spirit, and the manifest intimate communion with the living God which right covenant alignment alone affords. As mentioned before, God is rescuing the house of prayer movement from the den of thieves!

3. A prayer and worship movement bearing the fruit of accurate prophetic revelation from the Throne. Stewarding the revelation to turn God’s people and transform our spheres. 

4. A prayer and worship movement populated by Eliakims, covenant-keepers who will serve as fathers and mothers to the people entrusted to their leadership. With those deemed Shebnas shifted out and hopefully brought to repentance. 

5. A prayer and worship movement made up of every tongue, tribe and nation. Repudiating antisemitism and all other forms of racism. Standing strong for the dream of God’s heart for Israel, the Throne of the Slain Lamb, the Lion of the Tribe of Judah. 

6. A prayer and worship movement carrying the weight of Isaiah 22:22 governmental authority stemming from this covenant alignment. Partnering with Heaven to unseal the redemptive destiny of America, the redemptive destiny of Israel, and the redemptive destinies of nations.

7. A prayer and worship movement forming covenant community which becomes a living expression of Isaiah 22:23. “I will drive him like a peg in a firm place, and he will become a THRONE OF GLORY to His Father’s house!” 

8. A prayer and worship movement, fueled by Holy Spirit, restoring His covenant covering over America and many nations. So that it can not only be declared but experienced that the nation is blessed whose God is the Lord!

9. A prayer and worship movement that is at the core an expression of God’s freedom movement. With the power to break bands of wickedness and secure genuine freedom. In the 250th anniversary of American independence, the 25th anniversary of 9-11, let the cry of God’s heart resound once again. LET MY PEOPLE GO!
