Purpose
 

I hear the Lord saying, "To Awaken, To Warn and To Prepare"
All who will hear, To Bless the Church and to Comfort Israel!
  
 

My greatest desire, if you are Not Jewish, that you would discover Jesus!

 

If you are Jewish, you will find
“The True Messiah of Israel."
That you would experience the One Isaiah spoke!
Chapter 9: 6 & 7

For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given;
and the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called
Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting
Father, Prince of Peace. Verse 6

Of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end,
upon the throne of David and over his kingdom, to order it and establish it
with judgment and justice from that time forward, even forever.
The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this. Verse 7

 

 And in Isaiah 11:1-5 & 10
There shall come forth a Rod from the stem of Jesse,
And a Branch shall grow out of his roots. 
       The Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon Him, The Spirit of wisdom and understanding,
      The Spirit of counsel and might, The Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD.
       His delight is in the fear of the LORD,  And He shall not judge by the sight of His eyes,
      Nor decide by the hearing of His ears; But with righteousness He shall judge the poor,
       And decide with equity for the meek of the earth; He shall strike the earth with the rod
of His mouth, And with the breath of His lips He shall slay the wicked.
Righteousness shall be the belt of His loins, And faithfulness the belt of His waist

 And in that day there shall be a Root of Jesse, Who shall stand as a banner to the people;     
For the Gentiles shall seek Him, And His resting place shall be glorious.”


 

   Isaiah 53

1)  Who has believed our report?  And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?
2)  For He (Yeshua) shall grow up before Him (Father God) as a tender plant, And as a root out of dry ground. He has no form or comeliness; And when we see Him, There is no beauty that we should desire Him.  
 3)  He is despised and rejected by men, A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him;  He was despised, and we did not esteem Him.
4)  Surely He has borne our griefs And carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted
5)  But He was wounded for our transgressions,  He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.
6)  All we like sheep have gone astray;  We have turned, every one, to his own way; And the LORD has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.
7)  He was oppressed and He was afflicted, Yet He opened not His mouth; He was led as a lamb to the slaughter, And as a sheep before its shearers is silent, So He opened not His mouth. 
8)  He was taken from prison and from judgment, And who will declare His generation? For He was cut off from the land of the living; For the transgressions of My people He was stricken. 
9)  And they made His grave with the wicked— But with the rich at His death,  Because He had done no violence, Nor was any deceit in His mouth.
10)  Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise Him; He  has put Him to grief. When You make His soul an offering for sin, He shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days, And the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in His hand.
11)  He shall see the labor of His soul, and be satisfied. By His knowledge My righteous Servant shall justify many,  For He shall bear their iniquities.
12)  Therefore I will divide Him a portion with the great, And He shall divide the spoil with the strong,  Because He poured out His soul unto death, And He was numbered with the transgressors, And He bore the sin of many,  And made intercession for the transgressors.

NOTE: interesting to say that 12 represents the Government of God, here we are 12 verses which establishes Yeshua as the Messiah (and the Government will be upon His shoulder)

Romans 11:13-18 (New King James Version)

13 For I speak to you Gentiles; inasmuch as I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry, 14 if by any means I may provoke to jealousy those who are my flesh and save some of them. 15 For if their being cast away is the reconciling of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?
16 For if the firstfruit is holy, the lump is also holy; and if the root is holy, so are the branches. 17 And if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them, and with them became a partaker of the root and fatness of the olive tree, 18 do not boast against the branches. But if you do boast, remember that you do not support the root, but the root supports you.

 

 Finally to Bless you and your Entire House whether you are Jew or Gentile
elevated or lowly, rich or poor, young or old, male or female for
G-d loves all of His Creation!
 

For I know the thoughts that I have toward you, says the Lord, thoughts
of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Jer 29:11

Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me,
and I will listen to you. Verse 12

And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me
with all your heart. Verse 13

"One Step Towards Unity"
 Update 3-4-2010


For many years the Holy Spirit has been revealing to me as well as others the importance
of reconciliation of the Jew and Gentle. "The One New Man" Eph 2:15
 
However,
there is even a division between Body of Messiah, that being the Church and
the Messianic (saved Jews and or Gentiles who love the Hebraic Roots)


These two entities are "Brothers in the Faith",
There should be no separation
For we are One in Messiah, Jesus!
 

How can we provoke the (unsaved) Jews to jealousy
when Unity does not exist within the Body of Messiah?


For most of my life I have pursued the Church and her teachings, Learning the Word of God, Salvation and the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, the operation of the gifts etc. This was necessary and had been and continues to be a wonderful journey. During much of this same period of time, like so many others I have also been seeking that Jewish connection, knowing that there is far more we have been called but are missing.

Addressing the Church, do you not know that ALL believers who go to Heaven, will be Celebrating both the Passover and also the Feast of Tabernacles, these two Feasts will be celebrated for all eternity. All the Patriarchs, Prophets, the lineage of Jesus, all the Apostles were all Jewish. The Lord declared that Israel was His and Jerusalem is His footstool. (His place of Rest)

After the final Judgment, there will come down from Heaven, A new Jerusalem where the Saints will dwell with Jesus, and He will sit on His throne and rule from Jerusalem with a rod of iron. How is it that the Church continues to deny the importance of our Jewishness that is the early church and ignore all of the their great successes.

My involvement with the "Jewish Roots" movement these last 25 years have given me some observations in this area.
It is my strong belief the Lord is about to bring this issue of non-recognition to the forefront. In other words, the Church who has displayed very little respect for the Jewish roots and the Messianic has little or no regard for the Holy Spirit. It is indeed a rare event when you hear a prophetic word come forth in a Messianic Synagogue. Likewise, it is almost unheard of in the Church (even if they do embrace the roots) to celebrate the Shabbat or the Feasts.

My experience has been that the "True" Church has embraced the Holy Spirit without embracing her Roots.
On the other hand, we have Messianic Fellowships that have grabbed hold of the Roots but have forfeited the Holy Spirit.
Am sure many Messianics will disagree with this but my experience has been almost the non-existence of the Holy Spirit power within the traditional services I have attended, Where are the operation of the Gifts? Where is the power in either of these two?

There seems to be a spiritual blindness and or would also say almost an arrogance in the need for each other. The Church says she has no need for the Roots (Jesus only) even though the Word says, we have been engrafted. AND, the Messianic seems to think that through the Torah/Tanach, they have found all that is necessary. 

Events are quickly aligning that will prepare hearts of both the Church and the Messianic. Until now, there has been a deep schism of division the Church from our Messianic brothers, however that is about to change. Please understand, I am not suggesting or advocating that the Church or the Messianic compromise what they now employ. But simply to incorporate the Hebraic Roots in to the Church and the Messianic to begin to emphasize the giftings of the Spirit, the prophetic, messages in tongues, healings and deliverances. Do we want "true" Kingdom authority on earth as it is in Heaven or are we just vocalizing some abstract vision of no purpose.

Are we so confined by our pride and so restrained by our "religious spirits" that our tradition has become the chains that take us captive. Why are we no longer yielded  to the Spirit of God? How will we answer for knowing the Word and what is right and yet not being a doer, where there is revelation there also comes responsibility.

Have heard believers say, "we want the fullness of the Spirit yet when He attempts to come in that Fullness, we say
no, that is for the Jews not Christians or we say all we want or need is Jesus and yet we deny who Jesus is. We in effect say, we receive your gift but not who you are!

I dare say, that until both sides comes to revelation, neither will be effective, we need each other!
In order to operate in the "Fullness" of the Unction of the Holy Spirit, there has to be a place to plug in (if you will) that being  the Roots, we are engrafted. And the current which is the electricity (the Holy Spirit) comes through that place of being engrafted. Thus Holy Spirit power for gentile believers because we have been engrafted, adopted in to the family. We must keep in mind this was the early Church, the one who waited in the upper room for the Holy Spirit to fall and then the believers became endued with power from on high.

I have heard pastors who have understanding for the love for the Jewish roots say to people who had left their congregations in search of a Messianic fellowship, "you will be back"! AND, unfortunately they are right, many people will come back to the Churches because to a great degree, there is a drought of the Holy Spirit. Yet, in the overall church, there is a total disconnection to anything that speaks of Hebraic roots.

I have gone to Messianic Rabbis or Teachers and have found nothing but a disdain in even talking about the separation.
Not only do they dismiss the idea but they also refute the idea that the Holy Spirit is Not evident in their meetings.
Perhaps, there is a concern that they will lose someone back to a church. When I have spoken to the Pastors, they either have a Replacement Theology OR again they rule out the Jewishness being incorporated in to their meetings.

Only the Spirit of the Lord will be able to bridge this gap! Nothing a man can say or do will bring these two entities together except a sovereign move of God, however this is about to take place. These two will come to unity and be in place in order to be sign to the (unsaved) Jew first and also to the Gentile.
 

One thing is certain, the Holy Spirit will accomplish all the Father has ordained from before the beginning of time.

We will be brought in under the Lordship of Jesus,
Our "spiritual ideologies" are about to be challenged and transformed,
The true church will  become a Bride, pure and spotless and without wrinkle.

We will either yield to Him or have whatever authority we hold revoked
and we will find ourselves on the outside looking in!

Prepare to be changed!
