Who is RDT?

Royal Diadem Tabernacle is a spirit-filled church that operates in the five-fold ministry as described in Ephesians 4:11-13. We believe in divine healing, signs, wonders, and miracles which flow from the fullness of God’s power according to Ezekiel 47. We walk within the New Testament model, given to us in Acts Chapter 5, as the apostolic-prophetic church. God is raising up such ministries to prepare His prophetic bride and to call forth the sons and daughters from the north, the south, the east, and the west. It is our mandate to equip, empower, and enable these sons and daughters so that they will rise up and go forth as God's mighty army in this "Last Day," building up the highway and preparing the way for His Son's return. God has called us to bind up the broken-hearted, heal the sick, set the captive free, and proclaim the Year of our Lord.

In Isaiah 62:3 God tells us, “You shall also be a crown of glory in the hand of the Lord, and a royal diadem in the hand of your God.” A diadem is a jeweled headdress signifying sovereignty and worn as a sign of royal power. Among the jewels of the headdress is the diamond, the hardest and most valuable of all precious stones. The diamond is unique in its properties. It is formed from coal in the deepest parts of the Earth under extreme pressure through the process of time. It comes to the surface, usually under extreme force such as a volcano. Its density affects its hardness and the way it reflects light. No other substance can scratch its surface, making it very durable. The diamond is able to absorb heat and remain cool to the touch. It is just a “diamond in the rough” until a jeweler’s hands perform the cut and polishing that brings out the diamond. Each diamond is cut to remove any flaws and reveal its true color and clarity. The diamond’s many facets accentuate its brilliance and luster. Beautiful and enduring, it has become the symbol of true love.

​

​

The Body of Christ is also formed under extreme pressure and force. As diamonds in the rough, we cannot foresee how the pressures we endure ultimately fulfill our destiny. We must be entrusted into the skilled hands of the Lord to be cut and polished to become the diamond He desires. He alone knows what flaws need to be removed as He cuts. Each facet is a member of the Body of Christ, exactly cut and placed where God designed, working together to reflect the light of Christ to the world. This many-membered body, tightly, fitly joined together, ultimately fulfills God's holy tabernacle unto the Lord, His Royal Diadem.
