EARLY MORNING MANNA

Shalom Fellow Warriors,

Our family has been intimately knowledgeable of the ongoing spiritual condition of the believers in Israel for many years now. What saddens our hearts is the amount of support that is being raised to bless Israel by the Christian Zionist ministries, yet the majority (if not all) of those funds go directly to the unsaved Jewish community. Though I’m not directly against this act of charity by the Christian Zionist communities, yet, when I read the exhortation of the Apostle Paul in his letter to the believers in Rome, I see a much different attitude toward this work of charity and kindness.

“For Macedonia and Achaia have been pleased to make a contribution for the poor among the saints in Jerusalem. Yes, they were pleased to do so, and they are indebted to them. For if the Gentiles have shared in their spiritual things, they are indebted to minister to them also in material things.” (Rom. 15:26-27 NASB).

Paul’s emphasis for fundraising among the Gentile believers and churches was to bless the Jewish believers in Jerusalem not the unbelievers! To organize this appeal for their help, Paul uses the same word to be indebted as he does in the Romans chapter 1 for the mandate to proclaim the gospel worldwide with power!

“I am a debtor both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to the wise and to the foolish. Thus, for my part, I am eager to preach the gospel to you who are in Rome. For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.” (Rom. 1:14-16 NASB).

Let us summarize this indebtedness we all have towards blessing the believers in Israel

1) The same indebtedness and zeal Paul has been commissioned to preach the gospel worldwide is the same indebtedness he has to the believers in Israel materially.

2) The same zeal towards saving people from Hell should be the same zeal towards helping materially the believers in Israel.

3) The same flow of the Holy Spirit we have received from the grafting in process to the Jewish olive tree is the same flow of material blessings that should go back to the Jewish believers in Israel (Rom. 11).

4) The reference to giving material things is not an evil association with the carnal but rather it is used to orientate the believers of the immediate need for tangible material possessions.

Now for all practical purposes our family is also “Israeli” believers and we have an immediate need to set up a base for counter-terrorism operations, robust discipleship training, and help the believing community not only get deeper into the River of God…but also strengthen them materially. Right now the funds needed before May 30th, 2007 to purchase this facility will come from your contributions. However, there are some believers I know who have been wondrously endowed with mighty baptisms of the Holy Sprit who still do not see the need to bless Israel in this hour since they have the underlying contamination of bad teachings…that they are actually “Israel” (i.e. replacement theology)! I encourage you to re-examine your position and get a hold of the exceptional teachings of the late Derek Prince on our debt to Israel! Now is not the time to get hung up on doctrinal debates…but it is the time to practically and materially help us! Those congregations that have been blessed and brought to new levels spiritually over the years by this ministry…need correspondingly to help us materially do this exciting work in Israel!

Dear fellow warriors, the same Holy Spirit that told us to sound the shofar in past exploits of counter-terrorism and even at the headquarters of the false messiah in NYC…is the same Holy Spirit telling us to move to Israel now and set up this facility! Stretch yourself out for us believers in the Land of Israel who need your material support! I see a cloud the size of a man’s fist coming up from the Mediterranean Sea! Gird up your loins and run with us in this exciting hour!!!
