Get the Ark Back
By ReAsOn DiSciPLe
Something my former mentor said triggered a super passion in me. This led to a burning desire and clearer view of my calling, which we now know as Ricardo Equips Artistic Leaders or R.E.A.L. for short.
What he said was this:
“The church [during the Dark Ages] lost the Ark. It was gone. It was in the camp of the enemy. If you want to see where the signs and wonders were taking place, they were taking place out there in Satan’s camp, and the witches and the wizards were doing the miracles. People like Simon Magnus the Sorcerer were using their magical powers. They were doing the signs and wonders and that was acceptable. That was what people thought was okay but said, ‘No, we don’t want that in the Body of Christ. We don’t want to touch any of that stuff, because that stuff is of the devil. We don’t want signs and wonders, because that is of the devil. We can’t have gifts of healings. God wants you to be sick and suffer so you can learn something.’
We have to explain it all away. It was all because the Ark was gone. The power of God was gone. What came back into the church? The Jewish system of the Old Testament. The ritualistic laws of the ‘thou shalt’ and the ‘thou shalt not’. It became a religious system [Mystery Babylon], instead of a reality of the presence of God.
Did the Ark cease to exist? No the Ark still existed. It was still there and it still carried its power. The Philistines took the Ark and thought they had the power of God now. So they took it and put it in the temple of their god Dagon [the fish god], only to find out that poor Dagon could not stand before the power of God. He fell on his face and broke his hands.
Eventually they just couldn’t take it and sent the Ark off to somebody else, but they were afflicted with hemorrhoids and they said, ‘What did you send the Ark to us for? We don’t want it. Get rid of it!’
Nobody wants the presence of God. The world cannot tap into God’s power. They thought they could, but they can’t, so they had to yield themselves over to Satan instead. But the power of God is greater.”
There was just something about that message that brought the Davidical Warrior type of anointing out of me and to want to go get that ark back. Immediately after that I wrote my mission, vision, and mandate down as the Spirit led.
MY MISSION – “Equipping Five Fold Music Leaders to Impact and Influence the Hip-Hop Ministry, Industry, and Culture!”
MY MANDATE – I exist to gather together creative artists that have been either rejected or have moved away from “the existing music system” to equip them to be artistic leaders in the Five Fold for the purpose of bringing the Ark (Praise, Principles, Pattern, People, Power, Provision, and Presence) of God back to the restored Davidical Tabernacle (the Body of Christ) to Impact the Hip-Hop Cultures of Music, Marketplace, Ministry, and Media imparting faith, hope, and LOVE using our artistic anointing in the process.
With that said let me break down the Seven P’s of this mandate, which explains in depth more of what I am called to do.
