The extraordinary story of Halford House is a testimony to the absolute faithfulness of the Lord. In his own words Lance recollects how God used it as a sign of a deep burden on His heart - the building of His House, His Dwelling or Resting Place. The story of how Halford House was discovered is in itself remarkable. The purchase and the finance required for its restoration and renovation, the miraculous way the Lord provided its furniture and furnishings, and the astonishing escape of the workmen from injury and death; only makes the story more amazing.
It was only natural that those who were involved in the story asked the Lord: What was the meaning behind it? Why did He do all this? It is this enquiry, and the answer the Lord gave, which has led to the writing of this book.
The finding of Halford House - its recovery, rebuilding and renovation - was an illustration of what God desires for those whom He has redeemed. It was that desire which lay behind the creation of the universe, of our planet, and of mankind. When man fell, it was this same intense desire of the Lord which led to Calvary and to our redemption. Through the salvation which the Lord Jesus won for us, God's aim is to make us His Eternal Home.
Lance Lambert's prayer and desire is that that the Lord will use the testimony of Halford House's rebuilding and restoration to bring illumination and understanding of God's purpose for the Church. The first six chapters recount the story of its restoration, recovery and the birth of the fellowship. The last six chapters and the epilogue deal with the lessons they learnt.
The title of this book comes from the decree of Cyrus concerning the recovery and rebuilding of the Temple, the House of the Lord in Jerusalem. It is recorded in Ezra 5:15 KJV: "Let the house of God be built"
