“The Council of the Lord is about to convene. The invitation is given to all who would hear, prepare, and come before the Audience of the King…”
Exactly nine months after the Revelation 3:20 Moment prophetic dream, the Lord once again spoke through a supernatural visitation in the form of an open vision.
Through this encounter, the Lord spoke about the second table that He is inviting His people to in this decade of Preparation for the Times. This is the Jeremiah 23:18 Table of Counsel. (A full recounting of the vision can be found here.)
An Invitation to An Audience with the King
It was the morning of 6 January 2022. Our community was on a 20-day fast in response to God’s prophetic word regarding the Revelation 3:20 Moment.
In the midst of a time of prayer, the Lord gave Kay-Chong an open vision. In it, he saw a round table, at which Jesus came to sit as King and Commander of the LORD’s army. He came as One full of authority — with a crown on His head, a rod, staff and book in His hands, and keys tied around His waist.
A voice proclaimed, “The Council of the Lord is about to convene. The invitation is given to all who would hear, prepare, and come before the Audience of the King. This is the divine summons to come before the Table of the LORD for an Audience with the King. It is for the receiving of My divine order, strategy and battle plan for the battle that is to come!”
The Lord then spoke about the process He would bring us through to prepare us for this audience with Him and from there, partnership with Him: He will bring us through a season of perfecting, unto promotion, unto emergence and finally unto procession as His glorious Bride — equally yoked in love and partnership with Him.
Indeed, through this encounter, Jesus Himself is inviting His people to stand in His counsel as His Ekklesia that will partner with Him to advance His Kingdom here on earth. His divine order, strategy and battle plan will be absolutely necessary in the intensity of the warfare that is ahead. Surely there will be no other way except His!
However, this entrance into His Council is not automatic. While it is not meant for an “elite” group of people, we need to accept His invitation and respond the way He wants us to in order to be part of it.
Preparation for An Audience with the King
In the open vision, the Lord highlighted three passages that are vital to prepare His people to come to this Jeremiah 23:18 Table of Counsel — Revelation 3:20, Zechariah 3:1–8 and Zechariah 4:14.
The Lord spoke, “The ‘Revelation 3:20 Moment’ is also the ‘Jeremiah 23:18 Hour’. If you would open the Revelation 3:20 door of your heart, I will open the Revelation 4 door of My glory. It is My desire to bring you higher for this is the season of encounters, visitations and impartations.”
The door of glory is open in this kairos hour! The Lord desires to visit and give us things of His Kingdom:
- The torch — this is about His glory;
- The staff — Kingdom authority;
- The book — the End-Time narrative and redemptive story of human history, as well as His divine orders and strategies;
- The sword — the Word of God and authority in prayer.
However, we need to respond by first opening the doors of our hearts to Him.
God further emphasised how He will prepare and make us ready — it’s all by His grace!
The Lord spoke through Zechariah 3:1–8, “Come, stand before Me for a time of washing, removing, purifying and sanctifying,” and Zechariah 4:14, “Now, come and stand beside me for a time of preparation, impartation and receiving of grace.”
Just like how it was by grace that Joshua the high priest was cleansed (Zech. 3:4–5), the Lord wants to cleanse us by His blood and wash us by His Word, renewing our minds and purifying our hearts by His fire, until holiness and confidence are formed and forged in us.
Jesus Himself will silence every accusation, shame, guilt and condemnation that would keep us from drawing near to Him to stand in His counsel, and from speaking forth His prophetic word (Eph. 3:12; Heb. 4:16). He will also refine and purify our every motive, removing everything in us that seeks to exalt itself above Him.
He will establish us in this Zechariah 3 grace as we stand before Him!
Then, just like how the Lord promised Joshua authority and influence in the heavenly places (Zech. 3:7), the Lord will impart to us the power of His might and give us a divine upgrade in things of the Spirit to strengthen and establish our hearts and hands for the battle ahead.
He will establish us in the Zechariah 4 grace as we stand beside Him so that we can be made ready to receive His battle plans and fight with Him!
Responding to this Isaiah 42:23 Summons
Being able to have a seat at the Table of the Council of the Lord is not automatic. Just as a subject has to respond to the summons of his king, we have to respond to the summons of our Commander-in-Chief for this time.
His summons to us in this Jeremiah 23:18 Hour is this:
Come to the Table of the Lord and give ear to listen and hear for the time that is to come (Isa. 42:23)!
It is only at the place of standing before Him and beside Him, that we will be made ready to have a seat in His Council to receive His orders and to fight alongside Him.
Indeed, this is such a privilege! That He would invite us, mere mortals, to sit with Him on His Council at the same round table, as His friends and equally yoked Bride, reveals the heart of our humble King.
We say yes to Your invitation Lord! We open the doors of our hearts to You. We will come and stand in Your counsel. We are expecting Your supernatural encounters and visitations.
Give us Your divine strategy, blueprint and battle plan Lord, even as we sit at Your round table as Your friends and as Your equally yoked Bride!
