David's Tabernacle: How God's Presence Changes Everything
An ancient pattern of worship is re-emerging on the earth.
In Acts 15, the apostle James quotes the book of Amos, declaring that the "tabernacle of David" will be restored, and the people of the earth will respond to God's gracious invitation into fellowship with Him.
David's tabernacle is being restored in our day by the enthronement of God upon the praises of His people through worship! The Lord is birthing a global day-and-night worship and prayer movement that will lead to a historic harvest of souls entering His Kingdom.
Worship creates encounter with the living God and His presence, bringing heaven to earth: wholeness and transformation to individuals, to cities, and to nations. You will discover your original purpose and eternal destiny as you step into David's Tabernacle.
"I've known Matthew Lilley for years and I know first hand that he has devoted his life to studying, living, and leading others into this message. This book provides a much-needed theological bedrock for what God is doing in the earth through night and day worship and prayer. It's one of the best-researched works on David's Tabernacle I've ever read. It will stir you, challenge you and provoke you to join the great prayer movement sweeping the earth."
David Fritch, Author of Enthroned: Bringing God's Kingdom to Earth Through Unceasing Worship & Prayer
"I believe we are in a season where the Holy Spirit is highlighting the Tabernacle of David to the Body of Christ as the blueprint for the next generation of pioneering leaders to build presence-centered communities. The end of the story is that every nation will see the worth of Jesus and every nation will sing. This is a must read for any one who desires to be right at the center of what God is doing across the earth right now in preparation for the return of His Son, the son of David. The intertwining of theology, personal experience and prophetic insight will make David's Tabernacle an enjoyable read for everyone. Matthew masterfully lays out the biblical narrative for this long forgotten piece of God's redemptive plan for the nations and my prayer is that everyone who reads this book will find their place in God's story as He rebuilds the fallen Tabernacle of David across the earth."

excellent study and easy ready and comprehension
I can highly recommend this book as one of so few studies in the tabernacle of David as a past, present, and future work of God on the earth in preparation for the return and reign of Christ. Thank you Matthew!

There's not enough written about David's tent and Matthew Lilley does well to explain it's theological significance and impact for worship today!

Inspiring and Clarifying
There is still much revelation to come from Scripture about the Tabernacle of David and God’s desire to be worshiped, but Lilley’s book makes the topic accessible for the beginner and inspiring for those already on the journey of building night and day prayer in the nations. I recommend this book for everyone interested in prayer, worship, and missions that’s happening in the earth. I plan to take my team through this book and use it as a resource for years to come.

I received a word from a stranger that the blueprints were ready. I just needed to go to the table in Heaven and receive them. A month later, this book landed on my radar. David’s heart to share God’s presence by building the tabernacle was new revelation for me. He actually was the first to start the concept of 24/7 worship concept. My perspective of presence shifted and a hunger to dwell with Jesus grew stronger!

This is one of those books that confirm the things the Lord has already been stirring in my heart. Great information was delivered directly and simply. Never enjoyed 1 & 2 Chronicles so much. 🖤

Me abriu os olhos, ouvidos e coração pra algo que sempre esteve na palavra, mas nunca havia me dado conta!
Essa é uma excelente obra feita por Matthew Lilley, onde o autor consegue explicar com clareza o plano, projeto e o propósito de Deus para Ele mesmo e para todo o ser vivente desde o princípio até a eternidade… Sermos seus reis e sacerdotes que administram a sua criação juntamente com Jesus e exercem sacerdócio, multiplicando isso por todos a terra. Um local para o descanso de Deus, que em outras palavras é o local onde Deus habita e derrama sua glória por toda a parte e toda a sua criação o adora, o honra, obedece sua vontade e o ama! Jesus encabeçará esse governo e sacerdócio na terra na sua segunda vinda e nos juntamente com Ele serviremos a Deus.
