Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me. Psalms 42:7

Which direction are you facing?  Are you facing the world and heading deeper into business, moneymaking and secular acclaim?  Why are you so happy to be described as someone who appeals to the world as well as to the church?  Why does worldly acclaim appeal to you?  Instead of being a prophet of God, you are a secular mouthpiece, quoting the words of famous worldly men everywhere you go.  Why are you happier to be associated with businessmen than with God’s servants?  This is happening because, spiritually speaking, you are completely oriented towards the east!  

It is time for you to go deeper into the presence of God!  You can go deeper!  You have to orient yourself towards the presence of God.  You have to orient your whole life towards following God and going deeper.  Prophetically, this means you have to orient yourself towards the west. Going to the west means you are going deeper into the presence of God. Most Christians are oriented towards the east.  Most Christians are oriented towards earthly things.  Earthly things have left you dry!  Earthly things will always leave you dry!   

Many ministers are not eternity-minded. They are oriented towards earthly things.  Worldly goals have filled the hearts of God’s servants. Evil ambitions of being business tycoons have captured the hearts of God’s humble servants.  Your evil desires draw you towards the east.  Adam, Eve, Cain and Lot all went east!  Their hearts were oriented in a direction that took them away from God.  Instead of becoming shallower, worldlier, more earthly and more carnal, you must become deeper, more spiritual and more heavenly-minded.  The desire for earthly things has left the church dry, parched and barren.  How come much of the church is oriented towards the east?

1. The deepest innermost back part of the Tabernacle was towards the west. When you walk deeper into the presence of God,  you would be walking west.   
This meant that when you were going deeper into the Tabernacle you were going westwards.  The Holy of Holies was deep inside the Tabernacle towards the west.  Going deeper into the presence of God means you are going towards the west.
And make the boards for the Tabernacle [in the following quantities]: twenty boards for the south side; And you shall make forty silver sockets under the twenty boards, two sockets under each board for its two tenons.  And for the north side of the Tabernacle there shall be twenty boards.  And their forty silver sockets, two sockets under each board. For THE BACK OR WEST SIDE of the Tabernacle you shall make six boards. 
Exodus 26:18-22 (AMPC)”

2. The front of the Tabernacle faced east.  When you walk away from the Tabernacle and the presence of God, you would be walking east.  
This meant that when you were going out of the Tabernacle you would be going eastwards.  This also meant that when you were going away from the presence of God, you would be going towards the east.
And likewise for its length on the north side there shall be hangings a hundred cubits long, its pillars twenty and their bases twenty, of bronze, but the hooks of the pillars and their fillets shall be of silver.  And for the breadth of the court on the west side there shall be hangings for fifty cubits, with ten pillars and ten bases. The breadth of the court on THE FRONT TO THE EAST shall be fifty cubits.
Exodus 27:11-13 (ESV)

3. The gates of all Jewish temples and places of worship face the east.  When you walk away from the temple and away from the presence of God, you would be walking east.  
The man brought me back to the entrance of the temple, and I saw water coming out from under the threshold of the TEMPLE TOWARD THE EAST (FOR THE TEMPLE FACED EAST). The water was coming down from under the south side of the temple, south of the altar.  He then brought me out through the north gate and led me around the OUTSIDE TO THE OUTER GATE FACING EAST, and the water was flowing from the south side. “Ezekiel 47:1-2 (NIV-MIT)

Coming into the temple and going deeper into the temple meant that you were going west. Going west always speaks of going towards God whilst going east always speaks of going away from God. Going west symbolizes moving deeper into God.  
The Holy of Holies, (the deepest part of the Tabernacle) was on the west end of the courtyard.  Going west symbolized moving toward God. Going east symbolized going away from God. 

The Holy of Holies, the dwelling place of God in the Tabernacle, was on the west end of the courtyard.
All through the Bible, going east has meant going away from God.  Going west has meant going deeper into God.  
God is not everywhere in the same way.  God will give you the direction in which you must go. As you can see, going east is going away from God’s presence.  It is important that you follow the direction of the Holy Spirit.  You must orient yourself towards where God’s presence is. God is not everywhere in the same way.  God is place-sensitive.  God is sensitive to direction.  You cannot just point yourself in any direction.   You must be oriented towards God!  

In Deuteronomy 12:13-14, the scripture teaches that God chooses where He wants people to worship Him.  God says, “I don’t want you to worship me just anywhere.”  From today, God will choose your direction and your orientation.  God may orient you towards a man of God, towards a ministry or towards a church.  Accept the orientation that He gives you and flow in that direction. 
God is not flowing everywhere in the same way.  Go west into the presence of God.  Go deeper into the Tabernacle by going west.   Go deeper into God’s residence by going deeper into the prophetic and mystical western horizon of your life.  Do not try to be like the world! Do not try to have as many degrees as your worldly counterparts! Do not try to have as much money as your worldly counterparts!  Do not try to be worldly!  

4. Adam and Eve went east when they were driven away from the presence of God!  Going east symbolizes going away from God. The gate of the Garden of Eden was on the east side.
And the Lord God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever: Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken. SO HE DROVE OUT THE MAN; AND HE PLACED AT THE EAST OF THE GARDEN OF EDEN CHERUBIMS, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
Genesis 3:22-24

5. Cain went east!   Cain went away from the presence of God to the land of Nod, east of Eden.
And the Lord said unto him, therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the Lord set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him. And CAIN WENT OUT FROM THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD, AND DWELT IN THE LAND OF NOD, ON THE EAST OF EDEN.
Genesis 4:15-16

6. Lot went east!  Lot split from Abraham, went east, and landed in the evil cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. 
Is not the whole land before thee? Separate thyself, I pray thee, from me: if thou wilt take the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if thou depart to the right hand, then I will go to the left. And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, even as the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt, as thou comest unto Zoar.  Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan; AND LOT JOURNEYED EAST: and they separated themselves the one from the other. Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the cities of the plain, and pitched his tent toward Sodom.
Genesis 13:9-12”

7. Rebellious people who serve idols face the east because they are oriented away from God. 
And he brought me into the inner court of the Lord ‘s house, and, behold, at the door of the temple of the Lord, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men, WITH THEIR BACKS TOWARD THE TEMPLE OF THE LORD, AND THEIR FACES TOWARD THE EAST; and they worshipped the sun toward the east. Ezekiel 8:16
