And what was was clear to me was that we wanted to showcase some of these testimonies, and one businessman in particular, Kevin. And so he came in, and he shared some things. And then that just ignited that and, in fact, one of the things is, was described, and I’ve sure we’ve all seen these videos of these artists who set up these domino things where they’ll have thousands and thousands of dominoes, and some kind of an intricate pattern, and so on. And they’ve done these in shopping centers, I remember the first time I ever saw was on the old Johnny Carson Show with tens of thousands, these dominoes. And so that was kind of what we wanted to do is allow God to set up this domino display. And there was one person who came in and shared his testimony, what God’s doing in his business. And voila, that became the tipping point for that first domino, and if just one after another, and we saw this beautiful tapestry of things that God’s doing in our city, specifically in the marketplace and the businesses around Kansas City.

Yes, that was really incredible. One of the unique to your point of the dominos and the tapestry is, you don’t know what a tapestry looks like from behind. And you don’t know what the picture the dominoes are painting, the the reds and the yellows and the blues are until the first domino goes down. And then it begins to unveil the picture that God has been painting in the marketplace of Kansas City, I really feel like there’s a hidden agenda that the Lord is beginning to unveil. In Kansas City,

Right. There’s a proverb that says, it’s to the glory of God to conceal a matter and the glory of kings to search it out. And so that’s kind of what we were doing on Saturday as he had this beautiful domino display set up. And on one side of it, it just looked like a bunch of black and white dominoes. But all of a sudden, when it went forward, it revealed colors and patterns and, and things that he wanted to speak to us to get on board with in our businesses and in the in his move of the Spirit and His Kingdom in Kansas City.

Well, one of the things that came up and guys really raised was the Ezekiel 47, one through seven and in that was tied back to Billy Graham’s mentioning that the Marketplace is where the next move of God is going to happen. But can you just go over a little bit about Ezekiel 47, one through seven?

Scott Stanger  07:39
Well, you just opened up a whole treasure chest, there are other things. There’s some scriptures that have become pillars for us in God’s Relay Race, as we’ve been doing this now, coming up on our fourth year. And as certain things we’ve captured and say, Here, these are important for us to understand they give us some direction, some clarification. And one of those is a passage you referenced there from Ezekiel. And it’s where Ezekiel is in a vision. And this angel is walking him through some things that starts out in the temple. Back in ancient Israel, and the the angel, there’s a river that’s coming out from the temple, and it’s going to the east, and this angel is walking him out like 1000 cubits. And this river is ankle deep. And then it goes 1000 more cubits and it’s knee deep and waist deep and so on. And finally gets to this point where it says that it’s too deep to even ford across. And it says in that place, there are these fishermen out there and they’re casting their nets and they’re catching lots of fish. Well, there’s so many things that we can take away from that we know that, that God wants to pour out his Spirit represented by the river, and that we see the the catching of the fish and and this great harvest that He wants to bring forth of harvesting souls for His kingdom, and so on. And one thing to take away from that is it’s not happening inside the temple. It’s in fact, the further away from the temple you get, the deeper and the more powerful the flow becomes. And that’s not to say that God doesn’t want to do things inside of the temple or the church, so to speak. But He, as I say, Jesus, or Jack lives in a box, but Jesus doesn’t. God wants us to, to take Him outside of the four walls of the church or the the box there that we oftentimes put Him in. And when we do- the further we’ll go out there with Him further out on the limb we’ll go with Him, the more that He can show up and do. And so that is just one of those scriptures that is foundational to us to say, this is what we’re doing. We’re taking the stream of God’s Kingdom, of prayer and intercession into the marketplace out there where there’s going to be a harvest of souls. There’s going to be the catching of fish and bringing them into God’s love.
