Jesus is so amazing - I can’t even describe - I’ve been to the dungeons where they kept him, deep, dark, formerly damp caves where they would throw you in on vicious rock and beat you. Jesus went through this and more, why? Because He’s a lover proving His great love for His bride, those who would be wooed by His great Romance.
And who couldn’t by such a daring act, such a glorious rescue, such a heroic king! Only the most odious pride and pitiful stupidity would turn away from that love which ultimately satisfies the very longing of every creation under heaven. Jesus is a great lover, a great conqueror, a mighty King, a victorious bridegroom, and we will spend eternity over realizing His greatness!
David Wilkerson talked about the necessity for the church of Jesus Christ to honor Israel, He said it was one of only three mandates the Lord gave him when he started Times Square Church. He called us to radical prayer for the peace of Jerusalem, the salvation of the Jews, and the church of Jesus Christ to be purified in love as to move Israel to jealousy as is our calling. He said the issue of Israel is so important that “No true believer can divorce themselves from Israel.” He was very strong on the issue, and believes it is a crucial understanding that the Church must come into before the last days drama unfolds. I couldn’t agree more.
Today we here Carter Conlon and Gary Wilkerson, and I am excited to hear what they will speak to us! We will also go to the Holocaust Museum, a sure testament that there really are powers of darkness still bent on the destruction of God’s people, so that they won’t come into their destiny in Christ and therefore help the world reach theirs.
Oddly enough, we are to praise the Lord for their rejection, as it meant our very salvation (Romans 11) - and now it is our turn to bless Israel who has blessed us by giving us the bible, the patriarchs, the church, the prophets, even Jesus the Messiah Himself - by loving them and praying for their earnest repentance and peace in their blessed Messiah, King Yeshua.
I also thank the Lord for many, many, Arab believers, our brethren, who amid a ethnic background of violence and hate, and threat of killing from their own families, respond to their King’s desire by moving Israel to jealousy. Praise the Lord for giving us His heart, that we may know the greatness of His love and mercies. Come Lord Jesus, pour out your Spirit over all the earth, that all the people’s might praise you!
