We need to understand what the tabernacle of David is:
1 Chron 16
1 Chron 1
Hundreds of years later after the removal of David’s tabernacle, Amos writes that a day is coming when God will restore the tabernacle of David and build it as it used to be.
To understand what the Spirit of God is saying through the prophet Amos, let’s first address what He is not saying.
The Holy Spirit is not telling us there will be a literal, physical restoration of the tabernacle of David.
The ark of the covenant will not be placed in a tent again.
Neither will we board a 747 jet and go to Jerusalem to worship.
The Holy Spirit is showing us through Amos that one day the ministry of worship to God would be restored.
We are living in that time right now! Worship has never been more prevalent than it is right now.
It’s what people listen to.
God has a purpose for everything we do in worship!

God has a purpose for everything He does.
He never does anything without a reason.
By understanding His purpose, we can become part of His plan.
The Bible tells us why God sent Jesus to earth.
Likewise, God has a purpose for restoring the tabernacle of David.

After Amos declares that God is going to restore and rebuild the tabernacle of David, God’s purpose for the restoration is revealed:
“so that they may possess…” (, NIV).
God’s purpose for the restoration of the ministry of praise and worship: possessing.
“so that they may possess…” (, NIV).
Here we see God’s prophetic purpose for the restoration of the ministry of praise and worship: possessing.
To understand what is being communicated we must first define the word possess.
This is the Hebrew word
Yaresh which means to “occupy by driving out the previous tenants, to cast out, to consume, to destroy, to disinherit.”
God is restoring the tabernacle of David so that the church will have an instrument of warfare to drive out, cast out, consume and destroy the works of darkness, disinherit the devil and occupy the earth.
Hallelujah!
Jesus was manifested for the same reason that praise and worship are being restored – to destroy the works of the devil.

Example: When a country is at war, they are driving out someone who has invaded to take over.
Or they are driving someone out for the purpose of taking over.
The devil will not voluntarily give you back what he has stolen from you.
Jesus said, “The thief comes only to steal” ().
For the Israelites to possess Canaan, they had to go to war.
The devil will not voluntarily give you back what he has stolen from you.
Jesus said, “The thief comes only to steal” ().
For the Israelites to possess Canaan, they had to go to war.
To possess what is promised to you, you will have to enter into spiritual warfare.
Remember, Canaan is an example of the blessings of God that have been promised and given to you.
But just like the Israelites, you will have to go to war to take full possession and occupy your land.

Example: when the Israelites crossed the Jordan into the promised land the first place they come is Jericho.
So the promise came with a condition.
It’s yours, but you’re gonna have to take it.
To possess what is promised to you, you will have to enter into spiritual warfare.
Remember, Canaan is an example of the blessings of God that have been promised and given to you.
But just like the Israelites, you will have to go to war to take full possession and occupy your land.
God is instructing us to prepare for war and rouse the warriors.

The name Judah means “praise.”
Thus, the prophet is saying, “Praise shall plow.”
At some time you might have heard this statement in church: “Let’s praise the Lord and prepare our hearts to receive the Word of God.”
As we praise the Lord, we plow and prepare our hearts to receive the incorruptible seed, the Word of God.
Any farmer knows that before he plants seed he must first prepare the soil by plowing.
Before we can plant the incorruptible seed of the Word of God, we must first plow the ground, our hearts, in which it is to be planted.

Praise and worship act as plow.
That’s one of the reasons they come before the teaching and preaching of the Word rather than after it.
Seed has a greater opportunity of bearing fruit when it’s planted in plowed soil.
Again, Judah (praise) shall plow.
Notice then what the prophet Joel says about your plow: “Beat your plow into a sword.”
I believe the Spirit of God is saying, “Make your praise a weapon of war.”

How do we do this?
Revelation-knowledge is the hammer we use to beat our plows into swords, to make praise a weapon of war.

Example: Drunk man who prays the sinners prayer with no revelation of who Jesus is.
The prayer is ineffective because it’s just words, but when revelation comes...
Joel 3.10
In the context of Scripture, it refers to people who are getting themselves ready to go to war.
