There were lifting heads in the darkness round about...North, South, East and West...all looking up to this neon light that I believe carried far greater meaning than a lit up figure of a house in the night. They were looking, searching, wanting to know where the light was. In other words, it was foreign to them, if not then a distant memory. This speaks on many levels.
Isaiah 43:5-6...Fear not, for I will gather your descendants from the east and gather them from the west. I will say to the north, "Give them up" and to the south, "Do not keep them back."
Only encouragement can lift heads. This was the light of the church. They were looking to see where the beginning and end of this light was, to were it was across the land. There was an urgency because the truth was in their search. This light was showing them the way home. I felt in the knowing too many over time didn't see and couldn't find it. My heart ached for these.
Luke 2:32...A light to bring revelation...and the glory!
GLORY TO HIS NAME Church
***Prayer***
*The Fountain: Prayer and intercession ministry, hub of 24 hour prayer team, utilized greatly by all ministry leaders, unscheduled prayer talks from the Prophets and Apostles. 2 or more staff Pastors to come into agreement for specific need-based Prayer Talks for the church
***Worship***
When the church is built, Worship will be put in place first by something I titled several years ago....
"Visions of Glory" "Assembly of Worship" Spirit-Filled Symposium
First, Intercessors shall be called to prayer whenever possible for six days, around the clock with security. On the seventh day (10 leaders designated to the Worship Arts ministry will give a 10 minute targeted explanation of what each of the 7 areas will include. A 'Worship Arts' Pastor will have already been placed to oversee the Worship Arts portion of the church. There will then be time after the vision is given for worship for a personal time of ministry and giving one to another. Group Instructors will lead designated areas of:
*A Joyful Noise: Youth/ Middle ages, whose worship is a dance team and song at youth and special events
*Joy-Filled Sound: middle/high ages choir, last Sunday of every month and special events
*New Song: Youth/High Worship, worship team, midweek service, youth special events
*We Declare- Sound and Media ministry, every event involving sound and media (included in area of worship and also its own area)
*Rejoice: Adult Choir, special events, 1st Sunday and seasonal events
*I Will Sing: Children's worship most Sundays, some special events, children to adults, any age
*Oil of Gladness: Adult worship, every Sunday and special events, to include sculpture and artistry and seasonal events
There will be 1 hour breakout sessions, choosing one of three songs to utilize for their group. Assemble together, activation and worship to one of the three song followed by registering to be a part of the Worship Arts team. Leaders then receive sign ups for 1 week of 'Gifts Counseling' training, Expectations, Practice Times and Light Refreshements.
And so after days (truly years) of prayer, the Worship Arts team shall be put together in a day and still others adding to them.

Here are 9 Glory Keys! Many more on the way. Look a little too something and not enough of something? Speak forth your faith! God is for you!
Perhaps these are not the place of the desire of your heart for ministry, look deeper, pray longer...but I say, "It especially includes you!" This vision was birthed from much prayer with years of study of the Word of God. It's time! Pray! The gates of hell shall not prevail against the church!
It is nearly Sunday morning on this side of the world!
Let's ' Open up the Gates in the Glory!'
I love you so much!
