The Situation Room (ePub)

This story is told in metaphor to the White House situation room; the recruitment process, qualifications, past titled held positions, security clearance process, professional, academic, personal, life and career achievements as a prerequisite to be entrusted with sensitive, life-altering events as well as the honorable, noble, and prestigious title of high security clearance, military commission, cabinet member, etc.

The book illustrates how God has always recruited people for high noble acts and how he has always required spiritual clearance through means logical persons would find phenomenal. The call to this situation room is through special recruitment to people of unlimited resource of backgrounds—such as enormous success only to be lost without explanation; people whose prayers have had to be made unrehearsed and without breath; enormously successful people, reinvented people; people who were casted out, hated, despised and rejected; and people who live in mansions and those in live in the mountains. Yet the common thread is they have arrived at no place to go but prayer.

The story depicts the lives of people who have been served a spiritual warrant and must answer the highest, noblest, most honorable, most important act they will ever do, and that is to pray. But these are no ordinary prayers; these prayers are needed by God to hear. They must be subtle, suttle, quiet, loud, boisterous, fearless, unreversing, hostile, nonnegotiable, relentless, broken, raging. It illustrates the divine providence of God raising up Joseph as a prince of Egypt and the same godly providence casting Moses out to the desert.

This story gives understanding through a fresh interpretation of the ancient of days in the most modern of times and lives. It tells a tail of the highest secret and that it rest with the greatest to the least. The interpretation of God in the twenty-first century suggests that God walks with us wherever we are and that he wants more for us, and even that he may even be responsible for some of the dark spots on the canvas in order to blend in some wonderful bright colors full of the miraculous matching all the painful things we experience on life’s journey and that he is always in the state of coming to where we are to be with us in the situation and turn it inside out and upside down.

In the situation room, he often shares the elephants in his room and ask for their overopinionated, out of the box but born from prayer responses to what could tie his hands but for the prayer process and those in the situation room.
