Leaving for Israel in 1 week!
Some you already know that I am leaving for Israel in a week. Yes, ISRAEL. I will be there for two weeks.
I am not going for vacation nor a sabbatical. I am going by
the hand of God with a mission to bless the people and the land. I cannot share
everything that happened to make this possible because I would have to write a
book and I just might do that one day, but I do want to personally share a
little about the way God made all this possible in the attached video.
After much prayer, I believe the Lord has made it clear to
me that I should provide opportunity for people to sow seed into this mission
trip. There will be many opportunities
to sow to the people and the land, which will require finances.
One thing we will do is visit Israeli soldiers to let them
know we love them and we are praying for them. It has got to be a heavy burden
carry to be a young Israeli soldier, most times a teenager, and all you see in
the news is the world hates you and only desires to see you and your people
destroyed. Pray for Israel and the peace of Jerusalem. I got this idea to have
camouflage silicone bracelets inscribed with - Isaiah 54:17 No weapon
formed shall prosper! This is your heritage! - and to
give them to soldiers and any Israeli/Jew that will give me the time of day. I
believe I am being led to encouraged them to wear it as a reminder of the
covenant God made with Abraham, and therefore, with them, to bless and protect
them for all generations. Hallelujah! There are many needs the Lord will meet
in the land and for the people there and it will take finances. You ask why go
half way around the world to do this? Well, because God said to.
Prayers and Giving – A Memorial Before God
Acts 10:3-4 About the ninth hour of the day he saw
clearly in a vision an angel of God coming in and saying to him, “Cornelius!”
And when he observed him, he was afraid, and he said, “What is it, lord?” So he
said to him, “Your prayers and your alms have come up for a memorial before
God.”
Your giving is a memorial before God. Pastor Tony says the
seed you sow is received in heaven and becomes a memorial before God. Your
dollars become “little preachers” preaching about your generosity before God
continually.
I was reminded about a dream I had months ago, which I did not
understand. I found myself standing in a cloud of God’s presence. Then, as it
cleared slightly, I saw what looked like pillar in front of me with writing or
etching resembling hieroglyphics. It was so very beautiful that it captivated
me. I was in such awe as I drew close and then I noticed a beautiful aroma
being release by it. End of dream
The Lord said it represented the prayers and giving of His
people, to Him a beautiful sight to behold and wonderful aroma to be overcome
with, and the carvings, designs and etchings were symbolic of His works and the people He did them through. Wow!
I am sharing this with you, and asking you for, your prayers
while I am in Israel. Please cover the group I will accompany on this trip
with your prayers.
Of the two weeks I will be in Israel, I will spend an entire day in the Old City of Jerusalem. The
Lord has instructed me to print a list of every person’s name that will receive
this message. I am to make a copy reduced as small as possible and take it with
me to the Wailing Wall. The Lord said I am to make mention
of you, your family and friends while I spend time there in prayer and I will leave
the list with your names rolled tight and stuffed into one of the spaces in the
wall. If you've been there personally or plan to go in the future or if you do
not think you may ever get an opportunity to travel there yourself, you can
know that your name was verbally mentioned in prayer there at the wall, and it
was on a list of names on a sheet of paper physically placed into one of the cracks
in the wall. It will represent your prayers and giving before the Lord and I am expecting Him to do something great for each one of you because He instructed me to do this. I could not have imagined to do something like this, which I think is too cool.
Please prayerfully seek the Lord and ask if He would have
you give and how much. Let me be clear, I am not in any way trying to collect a
fee for placing your name in the wall in Jerusalem. There is no power in that
anyway. It is symbolic and my way to honor you before God while at standing on
His holy ground and under probably one of the greatest portals to heaven known
to man. The power lies in your obedience to God, should He instruct you to pray
and/or give that will be the key to release His blessing. And because you do
this, I know that my God shall supply all your needs through His riches and
glory in Christ Jesus. Amen.
