The Box - Damon Davis

People are still chasing rumors about the Ark—but Scripture shifts the question from “Where is the box?” to “Is my house ready to host the Presence?” David asked, “How shall the ark of the LORD come to me?” and when the Ark rested in Obed-Edom’s home, the whole household was blessed (2 Sam. 6:9–11).

Then the pattern appears again in the New Testament: Mary—carrying the Lord—steps into Elizabeth’s house and the baby leaps, the Spirit fills, and blessing is spoken (Luke 1:39–45). The point isn’t an artifact; it’s a Presence. Blessing doesn’t follow speculation; it follows welcome.

This message calls us to be modern Obed-Edoms: make room, honor His holiness, and believe—for “there shall be a performance of those things… from the Lord.” Open the door, lift the Name, and let your house become a threshold where joy leaps and the Presence rests.
