Christ's Mandate for Missions and CMMTheology build strong, organic relationships globally as we worship, grow and equip together. Like Joshua and Caleb and the Apostle Paul, we see with faith what He sees in each person (to help each reach fullness), group (many streams and backgrounds in unity) and nations (sheep vs. goat nations). Our passion is to love, connect, equip and send with the simplicity, fullness, and power of the Gospel.CMM.World CMMTheology.org http://www.blogger.com/profile/16642602638883599523noreply@blogger.comBlogger494125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17980201.post-51656414124353186092024-03-01T08:32:00.005-05:002024-03-01T08:58:33.075-05:00March (forth) CMM Ordained Ministers Update-SEASON OF THUNDER<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

The Lord wants and needs us to grow up and get over ourselves and be ‘about the Father’s business.’ In unity as mature sons of God we will experience the commanded blessing we read of in Psalm 133.

In this age of political correctness, gender dysphoria, and wokeism, society has invited in horrific evil once again, threatening the younger generation and perverting innocent children.

The attack had been ongoing for about two hours when I received the above words from the Lord. I immediately knew that there was a link between what was happening in Israel and what the Lord had said to me. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">The attack in Israel was tragic. The brutality of the attack is horrific and unimaginable. But, it demonstrates the hatred and brutality of our enemy. We have to remember that as Ephesians 6:12 says, our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against rulers, against powers, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in heavenly places. 1 Peter 5:8 also warns us to be on the alert because our adversary prowls around like a roaring lion seeking someone to destroy. Lastly, John 10:10 compares our enemy to a thief whose only purpose is to steal, kill and destroy. I realized that the enemy behind feeding Christians to the lions and other atrocities during the time of the Roman Empire is the same enemy that was behind this attack on Israel. This is also the same enemy that is at war with and wants to destroy Jesus’ Church.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">The attack is also a marker of a key change of seasons in the world. It has already been referred to as Israel's at 9/11. Just as the 9/11 attacks against the United States impacted countries around the world, we can expect shockwaves from this attack to reverberate far beyond the borders of Israel as well.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">There are important lessons that the church must learn from this attack. The five points that the Lord showed me are just a starting point. Just as the nation of Israel is being called to enter into a new level of warfare, I believe that The Church is being called to prepare for war as never before. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">One final point about the 9/11 attack from the 9/11 Commission report, “They were at war with us. We were not at war with them.” We cannot let the same be said about The Church in this new season. We have to be awake and vigilant with regard to the attacks coming from our enemy, Satan.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;"></p><br /><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><br /></span><p></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikLalwQ5GfYK1GKq0nNUob26kPWinqgtp-f_nK8vnySl-R03hFT97hZnpe7ea0tVKYiFyd3xW23ItusqOBAq3zLy0JD2ZTH7_l0V6rCS39D0ya3vY8beCAPmMiqlArgw-d4LG1lS8_MtZgzPeiS5ifYHO7PsR_1ZXRMQ5dOYs01B3TuYP4Sf7gaA/s1181/israel-flag-big.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="788" data-original-width="1181" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikLalwQ5GfYK1GKq0nNUob26kPWinqgtp-f_nK8vnySl-R03hFT97hZnpe7ea0tVKYiFyd3xW23ItusqOBAq3zLy0JD2ZTH7_l0V6rCS39D0ya3vY8beCAPmMiqlArgw-d4LG1lS8_MtZgzPeiS5ifYHO7PsR_1ZXRMQ5dOYs01B3TuYP4Sf7gaA/s320/israel-flag-big.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><br /></span><p></p><h2 dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 400; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Know the times and seasons, especially season changes.</span></h2><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">After the magnitude of the news about the Israeli invasion settled in, I started to look at the individual points that the Lord had shared with me earlier that morning. The first point was knowing the times and seasons, especially season changes. Immediately, I was reminded of the sons of Issachar as described in 1 Chronicles 12:32. I knew that they were men who understood the times. However, when I looked up the Scripture, I was surprised to see that they also had the knowledge of what Israel should do. Not only did they know about the times, but they knew about what needed to be done as far as a response.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">I was also reminded of Isaiah 60:1-3. In this passage, Isaiah encourages us to arise and shine for our light has come. But he also warns that deep darkness will cover the earth and the peoples. There is a relationship between increasing darkness and the rising in the glory and the light of the Lord on us. The more we shine, the more darkness will rise up to try to counter attack and counterfeit what we're doing. But, verse three gives us the promise that if we persevere, the nations will come to our light and kings to the brightness of our rising.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">I was also reminded about a principle that I learned years ago, nature hates a vacuum. This is true in the physical world and it is true in the Spiritual World. The COVID shutdowns over the past few years created a spiritual vacuum that the enemy aggressively used to attack the nations. During the shutdowns, governments decided what organizations were essential and nonessential. In many places, churches were deemed to be nonessential and not allowed to open while businesses such as bars and strip clubs were allowed to operate normally. This created a spiritual vacuum that the enemy rapidly and readily invaded and resulted in much of the moral depravity that has spread so quickly over the past several years. In the absence of the churches, darkness abounded. Many churches were driven by fear and gladly complied with the shutdowns. Instead of saying, ”We have what a sick and dying world needs.” These churches said, ”Go away. We're afraid of you. Don't come near us.”</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">The COVID situation reminded me of 2 Timothy 3:1-5. In this passage, Paul talks about what will be happening in the last days and how difficult times will become. Finally, he addresses men and churches that hold to a form of godliness but deny the power of God. He further warns that we should avoid such men as these. We have got to learn how to stand and operate in the power of God, not just clinging to a form of godliness. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">I was also reminded of the rebuilding of the walls around Jerusalem during the time of Nehemia. In the fourth chapter of Nehemiah, it describes how Nehemia deployed the Israelites to rebuild the wall. He had half of the men standing behind the workmen carrying spears and swords, ready to be able to go to battle in an instant. All of the workers carried their swords at their sides. We are entering a time where warfare is going to be increasing. The attacks are going to be increasing in boldness and severity. We need to be prepared with all of our armor, ready to fight, ready to repel the attacks of the enemy, ready to stand in the place of God's power in our lives.</span></p><h2 dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 6pt; margin-top: 10pt;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 400; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Get in formation.</span></h2><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">To me, getting in formation is a military term. Basically it means get into your assigned place. Usually it precedes a call to attention or a call to listen to orders. It can also be a call to get into your assigned position as the unit goes into combat.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">The Roman Testudo or the Roman turtle was a military formation that was used during the time of Christ. In this formation, soldiers positioned their shields in a way to provide an almost impenetrable defense along the front, sides and the top of the formation. This formation was both an offensive and a defensive formation. It was defensive because it protected the individual soldiers from attack by the enemy. It was offensive because it allowed the unit or the formation to move forward as a unit towards the enemy that they were attacking. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">As I looked at my notes, I realized that, “Get in formation” easily became, “Get information.” Looking at the Hamas attack against Israel, one of the immediate conclusions was that it was a massive failure of Israeli intelligence. The question that immediately came to my mind was, ”Where are the watchmen?” In ancient Israel watchmen were positioned on the walls. Their job was to see the enemy coming at a great distance and sound the alarm so that the city and the military could be prepared to defend against the attack before it happened.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">The call to get in formation is not only a general call to the Church, but it is also a specific and urgent call for the watchmen in the Church to get into their position on the walls. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">2 Kings 6:8-12 describes how the king of Aram was warring against Israel. Every one of his attacks was thwarted by the Israeli army. In a rage, he wanted to know who was betraying his plans to the Israelites. His advisers explained to him that Elisha the prophet was telling the Israeli King the things that the king of Aram was saying, even in his bed chamber. We need the prophetic watchman to arise to know what the enemy is saying and plotting even in their bed chambers and to announce to the church so that the church can prepare and respond to the enemy attacks before the attack happens.</span></p><h2 dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 400; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Be an army, not individual soldiers.</span></h2><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Much is said about cultivating our individual relationship with the Lord. The Lord wants us to have a personal, intimate relationship with Him so much that He has sent Holy Spirit to live within us! But in addition to our relationship with Him, He is also concerned about our relationship with other believers. As Jesus put it, the greatest command is to love God and the second greatest commandment is to love our neighbors as ourselves.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Once we enter that warfare arena, it is necessary for us to operate as an Army not as individuals. The most common compound name of God in the Bible is Jehovah Sabaoth or the Lord of Hosts. Although Sabaoth is translated as Hosts, it is a military term and it really means Armies. A better translation may be the Lord of Armies. He is the Lord of the Angel Armies of heaven. He is also the Lord of the Armies of Jesus. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">As was earlier mentioned, getting in formation means getting together with other Christians in a way where we can form a unit that is capable of advancing as well as protecting each other. In addition to operating as fighting units, our units need to be able to cooperate with other fighting units, ultimately creating armies. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">And beyond even fighting as armies. We need to be able to fight and cooperate with the other armies that are involved in the battle. During World War II, armies of all of the allies were placed under the command of a single, Supreme Allied Commander, General Dwight Eisenhower. General Eisenhower commanded the US Armies. He also commanded the English armies and the French armies. This was necessary to bring coordination between the different fighting forces as they opposed the axis armies of Germany and Italy. In spiritual warfare, our Supreme Commander is Jehovah Sabaoth, the Lord of Armies. We need to cooperate within our army and we also need to cooperate with the angel armies.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">As we come together as a single fighting force, we will have the greatest victories over our enemy.</span></p><h2 dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 400; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Close order drill</span></h2><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">To most non-military people, close order drill doesn’t mean much. But any person with military training knows that close order drill is one of the key elements of basic recruit training. In its simplest form, close order drill is the process of getting a group of recruits to act as a unit as they march from one location to another. But there is much more involved in close order drill than simply the act of marching as a unit. During my time in recruit training in the Marine Corps, we spent more time working on close order drill than in virtually any other topic that was part of our training. Close order drill is important for several reasons.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">First, and foremost, close order drill promotes teamwork. Recruits learn how to operate as a unit, or a team, instead of a group of individuals. Commitment to teamwork is the foundation on which an effective fighting force is built. There were times when we were marching from one part of the training depot to the next that the drill instructor would simply let us listen to the sound of our feet hitting the pavement as we marched. The sound was as a single footfall instead of a group of people. We were marching “as one!”</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">To function as a team, the first thing that you learn is how to listen to the orders of the drill instructor. And not only listen but to immediately respond, to immediately obey.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Another lesson from close order drill is to trust that those that are around you are going to be obeying their orders as well. This allows each member to focus on their assignment and not be concerned about what the person on your left or your right or in front of you or behind you is going to do. You know that they are going to obey the command just as you do.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">I know that the enemy is never going to be afraid of a military because we march well. But a military unit that functions as one, that obeys instantly, that obeys completely is a fighting unit that the enemy fears. Our enemy does not want us working together. He does not want us functioning as a unit. He definitely does not want us functioning as one. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">I believe that one of the biggest deficiencies in the Church today is that we do not foster or encourage teamwork among the members. We do have leadership teams within the church. We may have praise and worship teams within the church. But when it comes to equipping individual members to work as teams focussed on kingdom building, we come up woefully short.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">I was recently given the opportunity to become part of a team that was ministering in the nation of Kazakhstan. The Lord put together a team of amazing individuals with diverse complementary gifts. At first I struggled with working in a true team environment, because so much of my effort in the past had been towards gaining personal recognition and personal affirmation of my spiritual gifts. But, over time, the Lord showed me the importance of the team. And He has brought me to the place where now my highest goal is to see our team be successful in sharing what the Lord has to give to the people that we're ministering to.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">We have to remember that the Word says that we all see in part and we prophesy in part. To be able to give a better picture of the whole, we need to operate in teams. We need to bring our different perspectives. We need to bring our diverse gifts. We need to come together to see God's Kingdom built</span></p><h2 dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 400; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Know Your Roles</span></h2><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">According to some estimates, less than 5% of Christians know their role or function within the body of Christ. No military can stand where only 5% of the fighting force knows what their job is or where they are supposed to be. As a Church, we have to place an increased emphasis on helping people to discover and develop their Spiritual Gifts. Then we need to help them find and get into their position within the body. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">In the Marine Corps, as with other branches of the American military, each Marine had a basic assignment, called a Military Occupational Specialty or “MOS.” Some Marines MOS was basic infantry or frontline combat operators. But others had specialized roles that involved working in the supply warehouses to ensure that food and ammunition and clothing got to the fighting troops in a timely manner. Others would have responsibility for food preparation and ensuring that the fighting forces were fed. When we did not fulfill our assigned role, we weakened the ability of the frontline warriors to be able to fulfill their role. </span></p><h2 dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 6pt; margin-top: 10pt;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 400; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Summary</span></h2><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">I believe that we are entering into a time and season of great change. It is a time of revival and awakening. It is also a time of great darkness as our enemy attempts to thwart and hinder the move of God. If the church is not prepared for the attacks of the enemy, it will also be a time of great suffering and destruction.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">The Bible says that Jesus came to destroy the works of Satan. As His disciples, as Christians, our goal is to look like Jesus and to do the things that Jesus did. That means that our goal is to destroy the works of Satan. In other words, discipleship requires warfare! It is time that we learn, as a Church, to wake up to get into position, to know our roles and to be prepared to participate in the fight that Jesus started. We need to destroy the works of Satan and release the kingdom of God and on this earth!</span></p><div><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><br /></span></div></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><form Method="POST" action="http://www.feedblitz.com/f/f.fbz?AddNewUserDirect">

NKJV Isa 57:15</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">As we have seen, the anointing can be imparted by men and women as they are led, or it might come directly from the Lord. However, it is always bestowed upon someone with a humble spirit. You can't educate or impart to someone who is so arrogant that you can't even attract their attention. The Lord waits, and He will wait a lifetime if necessary, for His sons and daughters to devote their complete attention to Him in order for Him to impart to them. The Lord is a vengeful God who will not share His glory with another. Consider this: He want our undivided attention and unstructured time with us.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Pursue peace with everyone and holiness, without which no one may see the Lord: NKJV Heb 12:14</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">He bestows the anointing on us. It is a gift, an expression of love delivered and transmitted by grace without the need for repentance. The anointing does not come from academic achievement, yet education may aid release the anointing. Amos was a herder, and Peter was a fisherman; neither was a brilliant scholar, but their anointings rocked the globe.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Why may the anointing be transferred?</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">And God worked remarkable marvels (Grk. DUNAMIS) via the hands of Paul, so that from his body were brought handkerchiefs or aprons to the ill, and the sicknesses left them, and the evil spirits left them. NKJV Acts 19:11-12</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">You must understand that the world is both spiritual and physical. What science refers to as instinct, I refer to as spirit. A 'gut sensation' is an emanation of the spirit of man, which resides in every living human being. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">God's kingdom is within you.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">And then, from behind, a woman who had been bleeding for twelve years stepped up and touched the hem of His garment. For she told herself, "If only I can touch His garment, I will be healed." NKJV Matthew 9:20-21</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">What you do out of love will be infused with that love. You always communicate what is in you. Faith is energized by love. Even his garments picked up the anointing when Paul walked in strength. The same is true of Jesus' prayer shawl. The woman with the blood issue was aware that the power would be present. This is why we place our hands on people: to convey anointing and power. Jesus taught that rivers of living water will pour from your innermost self. When you pray in the Spirit, and especially when you walk in the Spirit, DUNAMIS power floods out of you. Lake demonstrated that this power could be measured and discerned in the physical realm. When he yelled in the spirit, the meters he allowed himself to be attached to would go off the charts. DUNANIS power is erupting!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">How is it managed?</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">"Get yourself ready, and take my staff in your hand, and be on your way," he said to Gehazi. If you meet anyone, do not greet him; and if anyone greets you, do not respond; instead, place my staff on the child's face." NKJV 2 Kings 4:29</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Hitler was never given a chance. In 1936, Rees Howell and his merry band of intercessors at Swansea Bible College began praying over him, decreeing what he would and would not do by the Spirit. Despite the fact that there was a war, Hitler never attacked England; he lost the war and his life, and the nation of Israel was reborn, which was the point of the whole thing in the first place. Howell was anointed to pray in the will of God for Israel over world events, and he saw early on that Hitler, not Stalin, who was as terrible, would be the devil's agent to thwart God's purpose for Israel. During those years, Howells and his pupils were on it almost every day. Have you noticed how he handled the anointing? </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">But you sincerely want the nicest gifts. Nonetheless, I show you a better approach. 1 Corinthians 12:31 NKJV</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Why are we instructed not to associate with the darkness?</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">And when you enter a house, greet it. Allow your serenity to come upon the household if it is worthy. However, if it is not worthy, allow your tranquility to return to you. NKJV Matthew 10:12-14</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">"Come out from among them and be separate," the Lord commands. "Do not touch what is unclean, and I will receive you." "I will be a Father to you, and you shall be My sons and daughters," the Lord Almighty promises. 2 Corinthians 6:17-18 NKJV</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">God, as ABBA Father, provides for all of our needs. Could it be that if we don't see our wants being met, it's because we haven't separated ourselves from them and stopped touching what is unclean? Just a friendly reminder...don't shoot the messenger!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">The truth is that we live in a tremendously spiritual world that is only marginally veiled by its physical veneer. Our God is a very real God, and His Word is His supernatural communication. Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, and He alone is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. The Holy Spirit is God Almighty, walking alongside us as we worship the Father ABBA and His Son YESHUA. God's anointings are supernatural powers that He has given us to carry out His plan and be His ambassadors among the lost sheep of Israel and the goats of the Gentiles. May we be found faithful in His presence on the day of His approaching glory! Amen? I adore you!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Remember, we must all be concerned with our Father's business.</span></p><div class="gmail_default"><span face="arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: medium;"><b>S<span class="gmail_default">ardinia Update #1: </span></b></span> <span face="arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: medium;">We visited a high mountain where there is a place called the Tomb of the giants and other unholy altars. We magnified the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and made declarations from Dr. Francis Myles book, The Battle of Altars. I highly recommend his books. "Spiritual Warfare is a Battle of Altars." We built an altar, took communion, blew the shofars, and heard a heavenly sound as we completed our assignment. Our hosts had done preliminary reconnaissance and spied out the land in advance. Prophetic intercession and faith declarations founded on holy Scriptures are a must in this redeeming of the land, for the glory of our Lord.</span></div><div class="gmail_quote"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOXktq_XZxMQXoQGkTVndaR4O9tEUiXslniNdYfO13WJ5aMrGotEZ-STEMgz0PfmO_cGqMVRKKWzUHfhkOqDtZOqn4ZM-B9UVHLv5BEFQqJyrXWIsjM8WUVDDhyJmGoNVexEfIcs7gq4L-F1pfwJryLpp7G5kfk0oYg6H_JO2rfFQDWvI68pEQng/s1179/Mountain%20Team%20Sardinia%209-23.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="884" data-original-width="1179" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOXktq_XZxMQXoQGkTVndaR4O9tEUiXslniNdYfO13WJ5aMrGotEZ-STEMgz0PfmO_cGqMVRKKWzUHfhkOqDtZOqn4ZM-B9UVHLv5BEFQqJyrXWIsjM8WUVDDhyJmGoNVexEfIcs7gq4L-F1pfwJryLpp7G5kfk0oYg6H_JO2rfFQDWvI68pEQng/s320/Mountain%20Team%20Sardinia%209-23.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div><br /><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-nxJi50CkcFS_r1aXqq7fs2vVYPA6uVhcJrbV_ApjbtjlykzqapzLGdU1hc9U2eRgCgj-gxys_EkpSTY46Ys8taZ_yOLFwqERidM_0_g_VAsUG_wb1F-j7dxbQeQg87d-HcUCOhYYfWVwDwVWOA4g3tMd57z5jP__XV-jn8munA-YdL97O3UTnA/s1179/Altar%20Sardinia%209-23.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="884" data-original-width="1179" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-nxJi50CkcFS_r1aXqq7fs2vVYPA6uVhcJrbV_ApjbtjlykzqapzLGdU1hc9U2eRgCgj-gxys_EkpSTY46Ys8taZ_yOLFwqERidM_0_g_VAsUG_wb1F-j7dxbQeQg87d-HcUCOhYYfWVwDwVWOA4g3tMd57z5jP__XV-jn8munA-YdL97O3UTnA/s320/Altar%20Sardinia%209-23.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYUhz3txaHN8McBN24cE0DAW0x60pRjHa4uu8B6Kuv1PtczSjELtjYeoS9YdQNFl3EDnezv1lYH5Njr4lxPMsTRiArpNqF-D3dqJgQ8yMn0hUC5gNVIvTxIPMoQWeQTNTtSoCNApljxvuqAfSNWSBzpppgm83XuYFRPFaoz2zCXvW-z54WsN8-KQ/s1179/Mountain%20Altar%209-23.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="884" data-original-width="1179" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYUhz3txaHN8McBN24cE0DAW0x60pRjHa4uu8B6Kuv1PtczSjELtjYeoS9YdQNFl3EDnezv1lYH5Njr4lxPMsTRiArpNqF-D3dqJgQ8yMn0hUC5gNVIvTxIPMoQWeQTNTtSoCNApljxvuqAfSNWSBzpppgm83XuYFRPFaoz2zCXvW-z54WsN8-KQ/s320/Mountain%20Altar%209-23.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="gmail_quote"><br /></div><br /><div><br /><br /><span face="arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: medium;"><span class="gmail_default"><b>Sardinia Update #2: </b></span>The day after our mission to build the altar of God on the mountain where the 'tomb of giants' is located in Sardinia this article came out announcing a big bust of corruption, drugs, and mafia tactics right near this location with some former officials and local leaders.

Greed and covetousness are natural desires of the flesh, and we must constantly die to the flesh. </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Next, "because a person's life is not defined by the quantity of things they own." Given that Christians are citizens of this world, this can be a major issue for the church. When someone has a lot of stuff, the public views them as successful. God examines one's heart. "Yet, since they are all the products of His hands, He is not partial to princes or considers the wealthy to be more important than the impoverished." 34:19 in Job. </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">There is no distinction between rich and poor in Christ; we are all the same, regardless of our financial situation. As the Bible states, the source of all evil is the love of money. It is evident that the Bible, from the time of the Law of Moses to the arrival of Jesus, commands us to give to the impoverished.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Verse 24:19 "To the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, that the Lord, your God, may bless you in all that you do with your hands, when you reap your harvest in your field and forget a sheaf in the field, you shall not go back to get it."</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Matthew 25:41–43 Afterwards, He will further address those on the left, saying, "Depart from Me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels: 42 for I was hungry and you did not give Me food; 43 I was a stranger and you did not take Me in; 44 I was sick and in prison and you did not visit Me."</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Despite being one of the greatest apostles, Paul raised money for the Jerusalem poor in every church he visited and founded.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">16:1-3 in 1Co "Now, in regards to the saints' collection, you must carry out the following actions as well, just as I have instructed the churches in Galatia: 2 Let each of you set aside something on the first day of the week, storing up as he may prosper, so that there are no collections when I arrive. 3 And I shall deliver your present to Jerusalem with whoever you have given your blessing to in your writings when I arrive.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Luke 15:26 "Because it pleased those from Macedonia and Achaia to contribute a certain amount for the underprivileged among the Jerusalem saints."</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">According to the Bible, both Jews and Gentiles contributed to money raises for the needy in the Old and New Testaments.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Look now at Romans 15:27.

In Acts 11:28. The ancient Greek translation of "all the earth" is "the Roman Empire." Paul gathered money from both wealthy and poor churches to help the impoverished in Jerusalem, not from wealthy churches to give to poor churches. The churches in Macedonia, who were experiencing "extreme poverty," begged Paul fervently to grant them the right to participate in this work. </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">2 Corinthians 8:1–4. Additionally, brethren, we inform you of the favor that God has shown to the churches in Macedonia: 2 that in the midst of a severe trial of suffering, their liberality's riches abound in both their extreme poverty and their abundance of joy. 3 For I bear witness that they were voluntarily willing to the extent of their capacity, indeed even beyond it, 4 pleading with us urgently [a]that we might be given the gift and the companionship of serving the saints.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Verse 8:1 "And the church in Jerusalem was being severely persecuted at that time."</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">God the Holy Spirit allowed it to be in His Word for His people to read, and it is still applicable today. Just as Paul the Apostle raised money for the impoverished in Jerusalem, we are called today to also donate to those we know and trust, even those who are destitute, who are spreading the gospel. "All of the Bible's writings are inspired by God and are useful for doctrine, reproof, correction, and [a] teaching in righteousness." Timothy 3:16.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">"Not that I'm looking for a gift; rather, I'm looking for fruit that pours into your account." Luke 4:17 Paul had a pure heart and didn't want anything from anyone, but he was aware that when a church provided money to the needy, it might bear fruit in the future. What kind of fruit was Paul referring to? The church may benefit monetarily and spiritually from such fruit both now and in the future. </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Acts 10:1–6 shows you the fruit of Cornelius and his household. One centurion from what was known as the Italian Regiment named Cornelius lived in Caesarea. He was a devout man who feared God above all else. He freely offered alms to the people and prayed to God all the time. 3. He saw distinctly in a vision at the ninth hour of the day an angel of God approaching and addressing him as "Cornelius!"</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">4.

Your demands are about to be granted because God sees your giving to the underprivileged, hears your prayers, and sees to it. Read the words of the world's greatest man: "Whoever closes his ears to the cries of the impoverished will close his own eyes and remain unheard." Verse 21:13 The prayers of Cornelius were answered. The Holy Spirit led Peter to Cornelius' house, where he found a sizable crowd eager to hear the message. Acts 10:44 states that "the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who heard the word while Peter was still speaking these words." Peter was sharing the gospel with them at the time. A manifestation of the Holy Spirit among those gathered. Here, we can discern two crucial truths: giving to the impoverished and praying. </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Paul's primary concern was the church's spiritual health. He didn't coerce or exert influence over any church in order to extract money. He made sure that people were donating freely when he requested donations for the destitute in the churches. God likes a joyful giver, so let everyone contribute as they are led to, without hesitation or out of need. dc 9:7</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">The verse has some significant information for us to consider. First of all, giving to the needy is a decision made from the heart because God examines the heart. Paul advised against acting hesitantly or mediocrely. Second, resist the urge to cave in to coercion or pressure. The offering ought to be of free will. Anyone who makes you feel horrible or holds you accountable is manipulating and controlling. As has always been His method, the Holy Spirit will guide the heart.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Genesis 15:1-2 After singing this song to the Lord, Moses and the Israelites spoke, saying:</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">"I will give thanks to the Lord, for He has won a glorious victory!"</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">He has cast the horse and its rider into the water!</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">2 The Lord is my savior and my song; He is my God and I will worship Him; He is my father's God and I will glorify Him.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">A joyful donor is loved by God.

Giving is a way for us to express our gratitude to God for all of our blessings rather than a way to obtain something in return. A generous seed will provide a generous harvest.

Consider a life in which negativity fades into the background, giving way to a crescendo of optimism that pervades every element of our being.</span></p><p class="p2" style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">A prosperous soul does more than just make decisions; it creates them with wisdom, love, and unwavering faith. It clears the way for a path built on faith, trust in the God that is always good, trust in oneself,<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>and trust in the fundamental goodness of the God’s great universe. This soul is a lighthouse of wisdom, illuminating the path even in the darkest of times.</span></p><p class="p2" style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Yet, we must not be duped by the temptation of a perfect existence. Life has its share of unexpected twists and turns, and disappointment occasionally knocks on our door. Bad things can happen to good people. But here's the thing: a prosperous soul isn't immune to difficulties. Instead, it's a skillful navigator of the emotional maze. It helps us to maintain inner serenity in the midst of turbulence and uncertainty, while leaving the uncontrolled in the hands of a trustworthy Creator.</span></p><p class="p2" style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">"Why do we need a prosperous soul?" you inquire. The solution is simple but profound. In a world filled with stress and adversity, cultivating our souls is critical. It is our key to living the life we desire - a life filled with purpose, calm, and the opportunity to assist those in need.</span></p><p class="p2" style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Welcome to 3 John 2’s domain, a place for soul seekers like you.

I was excited because I was planning on sharing some of the things that the Lord had been showing me about The Kingdom of God. As I was praying about how to organize my material, the Lord showed me that He wanted me to share on The Reverential Fear of God. This was unsettling for several reasons, but mostly because I knew that there were things He wanted to teach me about my life.</p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #22262a; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;">My mind immediately went to some of the instances where people encountered the Lord in the Bible. There is the story of Israel leaving Egypt and approaching Mt Sinai and how the people feared His presence (Exodus 19). And how they feared Moses when he came down from the mountain because his face glowed with the Glory of the Lord (<span class="tooltips tooltips-effect-3" style="box-sizing: border-box; position: relative; z-index: 999;"><span class="tooltips-item" color="blue !important" style="background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1); box-sizing: border-box; cursor: pointer; display: inline-block; font-weight: 700; padding: 0px 10px;">Exodus 34:29-35</span><span class="tooltips-content clearfix" style="background: rgb(42, 48, 53); border-color: black; border-radius: 5px; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px; bottom: 21.6px; box-shadow: rgba(48, 54, 61, 0.2) -5px -5px 15px; box-sizing: border-box; cursor: default; left: 493px; line-height: 1.4; margin: 0px 0px 12px -140px; opacity: 0; pointer-events: none; position: absolute; transform: translate3d(0px, 10px, 0px) rotate3d(1, 1, 0, 25deg); transition: opacity 0.3s ease 0s, transform 0.3s ease 0s; width: 280px; z-index: 9999;"><span class="tooltips-text" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: white; display: block; line-height: 1.35; padding: 1em;"><span class="tooltips-inner" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Exodus 34:29-35<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 0.75em; line-height: 0; position: relative; top: -0.5em; vertical-align: baseline;">29 </span>It came about when Moses was coming down from Mount Sinai (and the two tablets of the testimony were in Moses' hand as he was coming down from the mountain), that Moses did not know that the skin of his face shone because of his speaking with Him. <span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 0.75em; line-height: 0; position: relative; top: -0.5em; vertical-align: baseline;">30 </span>So when Aaron and all the sons of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone, and they were afraid to come near him. <span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 0.75em; line-height: 0; position: relative; top: -0.5em; vertical-align: baseline;">31 </span>Then Moses called to them, and Aaron and all the rulers in the congregation returned to him; and Moses spoke to them. <span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 0.75em; line-height: 0; position: relative; top: -0.5em; vertical-align: baseline;">32 </span>Afterward all the sons of Israel came near, and he commanded them [to do] everything that the LORD had spoken to him on Mount Sinai. <span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 0.75em; line-height: 0; position: relative; top: -0.5em; vertical-align: baseline;">33 </span>When Moses had finished speaking with them, he put a veil over his face. <span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 0.75em; line-height: 0; position: relative; top: -0.5em; vertical-align: baseline;">34 </span>But whenever Moses went in before the LORD to speak with Him, he would take off the veil until he came out; and whenever he came out and spoke to the sons of Israel what he had been commanded, <span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 0.75em; line-height: 0; position: relative; top: -0.5em; vertical-align: baseline;">35 </span>the sons of Israel would see the face of Moses, that the skin of Moses' face shone.

Then there was the death of Uzzah, who reached out his hand to steady the Ark of the Covenant (<span class="tooltips tooltips-effect-3" style="box-sizing: border-box; position: relative; z-index: 999;"><span class="tooltips-item" color="blue !important" style="background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1); box-sizing: border-box; cursor: pointer; display: inline-block; font-weight: 700; padding: 0px 10px;">2 Samuel 6:6-7</span><span class="tooltips-content clearfix" style="background: rgb(42, 48, 53); border-color: black; border-radius: 5px; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px; bottom: 21.6px; box-shadow: rgba(48, 54, 61, 0.2) -5px -5px 15px; box-sizing: border-box; cursor: default; left: 493px; line-height: 1.4; margin: 0px 0px 12px -140px; opacity: 0; pointer-events: none; position: absolute; transform: translate3d(0px, 10px, 0px) rotate3d(1, 1, 0, 25deg); transition: opacity 0.3s ease 0s, transform 0.3s ease 0s; width: 280px; z-index: 9999;"><span class="tooltips-text" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: white; display: block; line-height: 1.35; padding: 1em;"><span class="tooltips-inner" style="box-sizing: border-box;">2 Samuel 6:6-7<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 0.75em; line-height: 0; position: relative; top: -0.5em; vertical-align: baseline;">6 </span>But when they came to the threshing floor of Nacon, Uzzah reached out toward the ark of God and took hold of it, for the oxen nearly upset it. <span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 0.75em; line-height: 0; position: relative; top: -0.5em; vertical-align: baseline;">7 </span>And the anger of the LORD burned against Uzzah, and God struck him down there for his irreverence; and he died there by the ark of God.</span></span></span></span>). Also, there is the story of Ananias and Sapphira (Acts 5:1-11), who died because they lied to Holy Spirit. Lastly, there is the account of John being overcome and wanting to bow in the presence of an angel (<span class="tooltips tooltips-effect-3" style="box-sizing: border-box; position: relative; z-index: 999;"><span class="tooltips-item" color="blue !important" style="background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1); box-sizing: border-box; cursor: pointer; display: inline-block; font-weight: 700; padding: 0px 10px;">Revelation 22:8-9</span><span class="tooltips-content clearfix" style="background: rgb(42, 48, 53); border-color: black; border-radius: 5px; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px; bottom: 21.6px; box-shadow: rgba(48, 54, 61, 0.2) -5px -5px 15px; box-sizing: border-box; cursor: default; left: 493px; line-height: 1.4; margin: 0px 0px 12px -140px; opacity: 0; pointer-events: none; position: absolute; transform: translate3d(0px, 10px, 0px) rotate3d(1, 1, 0, 25deg); transition: opacity 0.3s ease 0s, transform 0.3s ease 0s; width: 280px; z-index: 9999;"><span class="tooltips-text" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: white; display: block; line-height: 1.35; padding: 1em;"><span class="tooltips-inner" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Revelation 22:8-9<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 0.75em; line-height: 0; position: relative; top: -0.5em; vertical-align: baseline;">8 </span>I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things.

They are more reflexes when confronted with God’s glory and presence than an intentional response.

He is still the fearful, awe inspiring, all mighty God of the Old Testament. But, He made a way through Jesus, for us to approach Him as He originally intended, before the fall.

We become His sons! This is not to say that women have a lesser role in God's Kingdom. Women are sons just as men become the bride of Christ. It is not an issue of gender, it is an issue of relationship. As sons, we are counted as God’s heirs. Not just heirs, but joint heirs with Jesus (Romans 8:16-17).</p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #22262a; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;">As with natural or physical sons, spiritual sons go through a process of maturing.

Finally, a <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">huios </em>is a fully matured “son.” (Spiritually speaking, <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">huios </em>is not gender-based; just as a male can be part of Christ’s “bride,” females can be a fully matured “son.”)</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #22262a; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px; padding-left: 40px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "courier new", courier, monospace;">In Christ’s day, when a child matured and had been adequately trained, they were “placed” into “sonship.” For this important transition, a public ceremony called a <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">huiothesia </em>was held. This word literally means “placed as a son.” It was different than a bar mitzvah ceremony and normally occurred at 30 years of age. The father of the child would invite members of the community to this event, for it was a public announcement that the child was now a fully mature son with full authority to represent the family name, business, etc. During the ceremony, the father would announce, “This is my beloved son (<em style="box-sizing: border-box;">huios</em>), in whom I am well pleased.” This is why Father God spoke these words at Christ’s baptism </span>(<span class="tooltips tooltips-effect-3" style="box-sizing: border-box; position: relative; z-index: 999;"><span class="tooltips-item" color="blue !important" style="background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1); box-sizing: border-box; cursor: pointer; display: inline-block; font-weight: 700; padding: 0px 10px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "courier new", courier, monospace;">Mark 1:11</span></span><span class="tooltips-content clearfix" style="background: rgb(42, 48, 53); border-color: black; border-radius: 5px; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px; bottom: 21.6px; box-shadow: rgba(48, 54, 61, 0.2) -5px -5px 15px; box-sizing: border-box; cursor: default; left: 493px; line-height: 1.4; margin: 0px 0px 12px -140px; opacity: 0; pointer-events: none; position: absolute; transform: translate3d(0px, 10px, 0px) rotate3d(1, 1, 0, 25deg); transition: opacity 0.3s ease 0s, transform 0.3s ease 0s; width: 280px; z-index: 9999;"><span class="tooltips-text" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: white; display: block; line-height: 1.35; padding: 1em;"><span class="tooltips-inner" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Mark 1:11<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />and a voice came out of the heavens: "You are My beloved Son, in You I am well-pleased."</span></span></span></span>)<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "courier new", courier, monospace;">; He was declaring that Christ was fully authorized to speak for Him and conduct His business.

Technically, however, the word isn’t saying we are being adopted into God’s family. It is saying that as His children, already in the family, we are being positioned or placed into “sonship.” God’s plan is to mature us from spiritual babies to mature sons and daughters, qualified to fully represent Him.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #22262a; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px; padding-left: 40px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "courier new", courier, monospace;">This understanding is important in Romans 8. The chapter tells us that as God’s children, we have all the rights, blessings, and privileges of being in His family. “The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children (<em style="box-sizing: border-box;">teknon</em>) of God, and if children (<em style="box-sizing: border-box;">teknon</em>), heirs also, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him” (Romans 8:16-17; NASB).</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #22262a; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px; padding-left: 40px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "courier new", courier, monospace;">However, the passage makes an important distinction between children and sons, saying that “sons” (<em style="box-sizing: border-box;">huios</em>) of God are led by His Spirit. “For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons (<em style="box-sizing: border-box;">huios</em>) of God” (Romans 8:14; NASB). Many of God’s kids are not yet led by Holy Spirit. Though they have access to His blessings, they are not mature enough to know His voice and ways. Children have rights and benefits; sons possess authority. The passage goes on to say that creation is groaning and travailing, waiting for the revealing of the “sons” of God - NOT His children (verse 19). The children of God cannot bring healing to the earth; only mature sons and daughters, those led by Holy Spirit, can do so.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #22262a; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bolder;">Created for Maturity</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #22262a; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;">As mentioned above, creation is anxiously longing for the revelation of the mature sons of God (<span class="tooltips tooltips-effect-3" style="box-sizing: border-box; position: relative; z-index: 999;"><span class="tooltips-item" color="blue !important" style="background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1); box-sizing: border-box; cursor: pointer; display: inline-block; font-weight: 700; padding: 0px 10px;">Romans 8:19</span><span class="tooltips-content clearfix" style="background: rgb(42, 48, 53); border-color: black; border-radius: 5px; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px; bottom: 21.6px; box-shadow: rgba(48, 54, 61, 0.2) -5px -5px 15px; box-sizing: border-box; cursor: default; left: 493px; line-height: 1.4; margin: 0px 0px 12px -140px; opacity: 0; pointer-events: none; position: absolute; transform: translate3d(0px, 10px, 0px) rotate3d(1, 1, 0, 25deg); transition: opacity 0.3s ease 0s, transform 0.3s ease 0s; width: 280px; z-index: 9999;"><span class="tooltips-text" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: white; display: block; line-height: 1.35; padding: 1em;"><span class="tooltips-inner" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Romans 8:19<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />For the anxious longing of the creation waits eagerly for the revealing of the sons of God.</span></span></span></span>).</p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #22262a; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;">I like to say it this way way, “All creation is holding their breath for us, God’s children, to finally grow up!”</p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #22262a; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;">One of the biggest measures of our spiritual maturity is how we relate to our Father. </p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #22262a; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;"><img alt="Image President John F Kennedy working at his desk in the Oval Office with his son.

There are pictures of President John F. Kennedy working in the Oval Office. As president, he was arguably one of the most powerful men in the world. While he worked, the picture shows his son, affectionately called John-John or John Jr, playing underneath the desk. John-John was probably two years old when this picture was taken. He was unaware of the importance of where he was playing or the power and authority that was at his father’s disposal. He just knew that he was near his father, who loved him very much.</p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #22262a; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;">While this is an endearing picture, it would be totally inappropriate if John Jr was an adult. The adult son would still be as loved as the two year old son. The adult son may even be more capable of understanding and reciprocating the love of his father. But, there would be far more to the relationship. The adult son would show a level of respect and honor more befitting to the President of the United States. If it is reasonable to expect this type of mature relationship between an earthly son and his father, how much more should this be expected between a spiritual son and the God of Creation?</p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #22262a; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;">As Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 13:11, “When I was a child, I used to speak like a child, think like a child, reason like a child; when I became a man, I did away with childish things.” We need to put away childish things and strive to become mature sons and daughters. We can still love Him and rest assured that He loves us, but He is also entitled to receive our reverence, fear and awe.</p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #22262a; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;">In the next article, we will look at how this basic sin nature impacts our relationship and awe with God. In the final article, we will also identify some positive steps we can take to grow into a more mature relationship with Abba, Our Heavenly Father</p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><form Method="POST" action="http://www.feedblitz.com/f/f.fbz?AddNewUserDirect">

Jorge serves on their Advisory Board and we invite you to learn more and pray about supporting this vital ministry in Israel.) </span></p><p><strong style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; color: #757575; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px;">Here is Avi writing below:</strong></p><p>Dear Friend,</p><p>Eight years ago, God put it on my heart to start a project that would expand His Kingdom in Israel.</p><p>It has been a long road, but the time is here. We are at the last hurdle.</p><p>You are receiving this very special letter because I consider you to be one of the greatest friends of this</p><p>ministry, a member of the “upper room,” if you will. Because of your fervent prayers, genuine love, and</p><p>generous support of what we do at Dugit Outreach Ministries, I needed to tell you first.</p><p>I have just finished writing a book that I believe will advance our ministry efforts in Israel tenfold!</p><p>Legacy of Hope: Hidden Heroes from Generation to Generation is a story that will resonate with</p><p>every Jewish heart in Israel and unfold the Good News of Yeshua.</p><p>But what God is doing is far more than just a book. My heart and mind are overwhelmed at what has</p><p>happened!</p><p>As you know, the modern nation of Israel was born 75 years ago, shortly after the end of World War II.</p><p>So many families in Israel were touched by the horrors of the Holocaust and nearly everyone here has</p><p>stories to tell of relatives lost, close calls, and harrowing escapes.</p><p>One of the stories of great heroism that emerged in the years following World War II was that of</p><p>Rabbi Daniel Zion, a story very close to my heart as Rabbi Daniel and my parents were dear friends.</p><p>Rabbi Daniel joined with an Orthodox Christian priest, Metropolitan Stefan, to boldly risk their freedom</p><p>and possibly their lives to rescue nearly 50,000 Bulgarian Jews from the death camps of Nazi Germany.</p><p>I have memories of this Rabbi laying hands on me and blessing me as a child. I remember my parents</p><p>told of these heroic efforts and passed the passion on to me and to others. In addition to the selfless</p><p>acts of these two men and the thousands of lives that were saved, this is also a story of salvation. You</p><p>see, as the close-knit friendship of Metropolitan Stefan and Rabbi Daniel grew, Rabbi Daniel came to</p><p>believe that Yeshua (Jesus) was indeed Israel’s long-awaited Messiah!

Over my</p><p>30 years of ministry, I have written many sermons, Bible studies, articles, and blog posts, but this was</p><p>so much more—and it took me eight years of the Lord’s guidance to get it right! I knew that once</p><p>this project was complete, the Lord’s hand of favor would have to be on this, and friend, the evidence</p><p>is all around it!</p><p>Not only is Legacy of Hope an inspiring story of courage as Rabbi Daniel and Metropolitan Stefan face</p><p>a terrifying series of very dangerous situations head-on to carry out their perilous plans to preserve the</p><p>lives of nearly 50,000 Bulgarian Jews, but it also touches on deep matters of the heart as throughout</p><p>the story I also examine Rabbi Daniel’s personal commitment to Yeshua as Messiah.</p><p>In the final chapters, I also have an opportunity to share my family’s story and even my own testimony</p><p>of faith as I clearly present the Good News in a way that I believe will powerfully and personally</p><p>connect with Jewish readers.</p><p>I wrote this book to move the hearts of all the people of Israel and we have paired with it an academic</p><p>research paper written by my daughter titled Deliver My People that supports the historic legitimacy</p><p>of the story. This research paper is enormously important for getting the book accepted in Israel.</p><p>I knew that writing this book would be the easy part of the project. A book about a Messianic Jew,</p><p>written by a Messianic Jew, would be a challenge just to get printed in Israel. Such projects are nearly</p><p>always condemned before they can even take shape. Our plan was to use this book as an evangelism</p><p>tool and give it away as we shared the love of Yeshua. But we did not know the amazing doors God</p><p>would open.</p><p>Because of the historic footprint of this book, a well-known museum in Israel has given their</p><p>stamp of approval!</p><p>The museum is making plans to dedicate a small section to Rabbi Daniel Zion and his story—knowing</p><p>he was a Messianic Jew!—and this will be the very first time that a prominent Israeli museum</p><p>will have a section devoted to a Messianic Jew! Praise God! Dear friend, this is truly a historic,</p><p>unprecedented event!</p><p>The Lord has opened yet another door and the museum directors have agreed to host a premiere</p><p>event to promote Rabbi Daniel Zion, this book, and the research paper! This book will be picked up by</p><p>many people looking to read about history and they will discover a Messiah that sees them, loves</p><p>them, and came to save them!</p><p>But even this is not all. Because of the endorsement of the museum and our agreement with the</p><p>publishing company, copies will be made available in every public library in Israel!</p><p>It is unheard of that a book written in Hebrew by a Jewish believer in Yeshua, about a rabbi who</p><p>believed in Yeshua, containing the way to salvation would ever be printed in Israel. Let alone become</p><p>a highlight of a museum. And to get it into Israeli libraries is beyond all I could have imagined. For</p><p>years, I thought it could only be a tool that we would use to give to people with our hands. But God is</p><p>distributing it across all Israel with His hands!</p><p><br /></p><p>As I write this to you, I am happy to report the book is complete. Written, typeset, proofed, and the</p><p>English and Hebrew translations are complete. We have found publishers in Israel and the United</p><p>States who are willing to print and distribute it. The museum and libraries are ready to receive it. There</p><p>is but one last hurdle. The cost of printing and distributing.</p><p>There have been many expenses throughout this process, but we need your help to overcome</p><p>this final obstacle. I do not believe that the Lord would bring us to this point and not provide the</p><p>resources to birth this book into the world. Would you prayerfully consider partnering with us to bring</p><p>this project to completion?</p><p>I am only writing this letter to a handful of our closest friends. Friends like you who understand the</p><p>heartbeat of this ministry, who know how hard the ground has been to plow in Israel, and who can</p><p>discern the true magnitude of the doors that have been opened to us with this book.</p><p>It will cost us $27,000 to print and nationally distribute Legacy of Hope and Deliver My People in</p><p>Israel. The books are already at the printer, waiting for the funds to start production. Will you please</p><p>pray about helping get this message of hope to the people of Israel?</p><p>This is a landmark moment in history, one I am honored to share with you because I know your love for</p><p>Israel and your heart to see all of Israel come to know Yeshua.</p><p>If you would give a generous one-time donation to help print the historic Hebrew edition of Legacy</p><p>of Hope and Deliver My People, I will send you a personally signed English copy of Legacy of Hope as</p><p>soon as it is available, to commemorate the impact your gift has had on sharing the Good News. This</p><p>signed copy will be a reminder of the tangible difference you made to spread the Good News in Israel</p><p>and to the Jewish people. I believe the book will also greatly encourage you as well!</p><p>Will you help us finish this project and reach Israel with the Good News of Messiah?

It</p><p>highlights the amazing journey of Rabbi Daniel Zion, the Chief Rabbi of Bulgaria, who</p><p>was instrumental in saving Bulgarian Jews from the Nazis in World War II. Rabbi Zion</p><p>later immigrated to Israel and became a dedicated follower of Yeshua (Jesus) the</p><p>Messiah. He paid a price for his faith, but his influence has had ripple effects from</p><p>generation to generation, especially seen in the Mizrachi family and their special</p><p>story of Yeshua’s love and grace.

You receive the same blessings as those on the frontlines as we are actively going to be able to fulfill the Great Commission! When you do this, you align yourself to receive the same blessings from the Father that are received by those who physically "go" to those places. Like so many of the places CMM does ministry are poorer than in the US, we are asked to help pay transportation and feeding costs at in-person conferences as well as online meetings where we are reaching hundreds of leaders each week year-round.

That’s our portion as believers. Yet often, we struggle to receive and rest in that grace. And much of our teaching is works based. We give, we serve, we do. Yet Christianity is not a works based religion; it’s grace based. Which means, we can slow down, take in the scenery, occasionally, and enjoy the life we’ve been given.<br />Jesus taught that. And He did that. Jesus didn’t spend all His time healing the sick, preaching the gospel, feeding the hungry, casting out demons, teaching His apostles, or raising the dead. Often, much of the Church focuses on those things. But Jesus slept (even in a sinking ship). Jesus wept at funerals (even if he did raise the dead). He could be found at weddings or feasts; He loved people (all kinds of people). Jesus, the Bible says, came to our world “full of grace and truth.” Jn. 1:14.<br />Why is it important for us to recognize that? Unless we see the normal, natural life of Jesus, we miss the grace that He brought and lived in. Jesus has so much grace that He said, “For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Matt. 11:30, NIV. Yet often, when we think about Jesus, we miss that part of Him. And that’s the best part; it’s the grace part.<br />Doing is good. Being is better. Living the life we’ve been given with grace is the best. We are meant to live our lives in that realm of grace. Our lives should be audacious examples of God’s grace. Our lives are meant to be overflowing with God’s grace. “And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work.” 2 Cor. 9:8, ESV.<br />Sadly, the Church is so works based in its theology that we think Jesus’s message on grace is too good to be true. And we have a hard time believing it. We question whether God is really that good. And He is. Even in the Old Testament, God didn’t just appoint times of fasting; He also appointed times of feasting where His commandment was that no work be done.<br />The Sabbath was meant for man. Why did God set aside the Seventh Day? To give Mankind a break from work. Yet even the Sabbath, which was meant to be a day of grace, was turned into a work by the religious leaders of Jesus’s day. They wanted to kill Jesus because He healed on the Sabbath. (Imagine that). And that’s what religion does: it kills.<br />Christianity was never meant to involve religious calisthenics. Yet much of the Church is involved in religious exercises that bear no fruit. And we think we’re building spiritual muscles by our spiritual exercises, when, in reality, our spiritual muscles have atrophied because of our dead works.<br />Dead works? Yes, that the first doctrine the Church must learn: repentance from dead works. Heb. 6:1. That means, not all works are good works. Some works are bad; they’re dead. And must learn the difference between live works and dead works. Or we’ll constantly be dragged into and inundated by dead works.<br />If you’ve been involved in a dead work what should you do? There’s only one solution for a dead work. And that solution is to repent from it. Yes, you must change your mind and heart regarding any and all dead works in your life. Letting go of a dead work is hard. Holding on to one is even harder. Dead works rob us of God’s grace for our lives.<br />That’s why I love the message of providence. God guides us where He wants us to go. How does He do that? By grace. Grace is God’s guidance system. And it’s how we locate where we are. We can find our way forward only by following God’s grace. And that means looking for and leaning on the gifts God gives each day; He’s our provider.<br />Too many people in the Church today are chasing wealth and missing grace. As a result, their lives are filled with turmoil. The soil of their heart is a field of weeds not a field of dreams. Where grace is, dreams flourish. Where it’s absent, we live in a dry and barren land: a desert of dreamlessness, lack of imagination, and the constant drain of emotional hopelessness.<br />If that describes your life, it’s time to repent; it’s time for a change in your life. Don’t let your life be robbed any longer by the drumbeats in the world drawing us into the abyss of distraction from destiny. Rather, choose the audacity of grace where the river of life and love flow freely. That’s your portion beloved. <br />Let us rise from our works based mentality and seek God for grace till He comes and brings His grace to us like a sweet spring rain. Let’s believe! It’s time for the audacity of grace. Amen.<br />— <a href="https://www.facebook.com/prophetwallis?__cft__[0]=AZXWwIZFIxmTwjvK-d2qCtump-HrtBrIDQjhMqsyK0Y_3z1V24h_MXUoHv8gAogD-fgkZAxuIO29rWg9irR0p3T_bYHdsyH5Na41jRflganJbwKA18sHdUQ5BurC2neGEaqS7yuhp1r2zsfoZ1UQRh98VqqaXbbtL_W1C2Cf98oIlLY59kKldbI3SlDMjKaSZjs&__tn__=-]K-R">Scott Wallis</a></span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><form Method="POST" action="http://www.feedblitz.com/f/f.fbz?AddNewUserDirect">

The intermittent clashes between herdsmen and farmers in the state has prompted many to investigate the causes, effects and probable solutions to the insecurity in the state.<br /><br />It is discovered that the rapid climatic changes, cattle rustling, religious and ethnic dichotomies and the scramble over cultivable and grazing fields were the main causes of the insecurity which resulted in the death of over four thousand people, displacement of over half a million persons, gang rapes and the abduction of women as sex slaves.<br /><br />It is therefore recommended that the state should help farmers and herdsmen resolve conflict resolution systems that made them co-existed peacefully prior to the advent of the conflict, and that the state should ensure human security through education, job opportunities and the increased physical presence of law enforcement agencies throughout the state.<br /><br />Benue State is one of the North Central in Nigeria with a population of about 4,253,641 in 2006 census. The state was created in 1976 among the seven states created at that time. The state derives its name from the Benue River which is the second largest river in Nigeria. The state borders Nasarawa State to the North, Taraba State to the East, Kogi State to the West, Enugu State to the South-West, Ebonyi and Cross-Rivers States to the South, and has an international border with Cameroon to the South-East. It is inhabited predominantly by the Tiv, Idoma and Igede. Minority ethnic groups in Benue are Etulo, Igbo, Jukun people etc. its capital is Makurdi. Benue is a rich agricultural region, popularly grown crops include: oranges, mangoes, sweet potatoes, cassava, soya bean, guinea corn, yams, sesame, rice, groundnuts and palm tree.<br /><br />In 1991, some areas of Benue State (mostly the Igala speaking area), along with areas in Kwara State, were carved out to become part of the new Kogi State. Igbo people are found in the boundary areas like the Obi, Oju etc., local government areas.<br /><br />Benue as a state has been a host to many insecurities. From the civil war of 1967 that nearly ripped it apart, through the woes of unknown gun men, Idoma-Tiv conflicts, to the most recent Farmers-Fulani herdsmen altercation etc., there is nearly no one in Benue who has not experienced the bitter taste of insecurity. The farmers-herders conflict was scattered all over the country but concentrated in Benue State.<br /><br />Benue state has a population of about 4,253,641 (National Population Commission, 2010). The land is surrounded by water from one of the largest rivers in Nigeria. Its fertility and availability of water all year round makes the state attractive to both farmers and herdsmen<br /><br />Benue state happens to be one of the states in Central Nigeria that host a lot of agricultural activities. Its inhabitants call it “The Food Basket of the Nation”. About 80% of Nigerians living in Benue Stat are employed in the agricultural sector.<br /><br />In the past, the farmers and the pastoralist co-existed without any problems. In recent times, however, the hitherto harmonious co-existence became acrimonious.<br /><br />Benue state has been wrapped in a series of insecurities since the amalgamation of the Southern and Northern protectorate zones by the colonial masters.<br />It is noteworthy that Tiv people have been involved in other fights with their neighbours in states that border Benue. The recurrent fight been Tiv and Jukuns saw some attacks launched in some villages in Benue State. Tiv people have also been involved in fights with other ethnic groups like Alago, Mada and Migili all in Nasarawa State.<br />The most recent fracas involving Benue indigenes (mostly Tivs) and another is the farmer-herders conflict. There have been fierce and bloody attacks and reprisal attacks between these two groups. Fulanis accuse local farmers of blocking their grazing routes and cultivating their grazing fields. The farmers also accuse the Fulani herdsmen of destroying their farmlands, raping their women and destroying their sources of drinking water by allowing their animals to drink from the same rivers that they drink from. These accusations and counter accusations have led to fierce clashes between the two groups. On March 12, 2016, Agatu stole the headlines of many dailies in Nigeria. About 500 people were massacred by Fulani herdsmen and 7000 others displaced (Punch, 2016).<br />In investigating the causes and effects of the farmers-herders conflict in Benue State, the open grazing prohibition and ranches establishment policy in Benue State was also considered to draw a correlation between the implementation of the policy and the escalation of attacks.<br /><br />What are the causes and the effects of insecurity in Benue State and its manifestations on the social and economic lives of the people of Benue State?<br /><br />Farmers accused the herdsmen of destroying their crops, contaminating sources of drinking water, raping their women and young girls and inhabiting lands which do not belong to them. The herdsmen also accused farmers of cultivating on grazing routes, rustling or killing their cattle and cultivating grazing lands. This made both communities to be aggressive and identified themselves into Fulani community and the farmer’s community which led to the bloody conflict in the Benue State of Nigeria. Farmers complained of crop destruction, contaminations of stream by the cattle, disregard for traditional authority, over grazing of fallow lands, sexual harassement of women by nomads (Fulanis) and theft of farm produce in Benue. These accusations and counter accusations led to fierce clashes between the two groups.<br /><br />Going through the media reports, one is likely to conclude that herders are just uncivilized, barbaric people who are just to kill and destroy farmers in order to take over their farms for grazing fields. It is observed however that, this contradict the popular notion fertilized and promoted by the media.<br /><br />Cattle rustling came up strongly as one of the main causes of the intractable farmers-herders conflict. As soon as the relationship between the Farmers and Herders became soured, criminal elements from both divide took advantage of the situation and began to rustle cattle. Many herders admitted to losing thousands of cattle to bandits. At the beginning, this began as a form of revenge for defenceless farmers whose crops were destroyed by armed herders; however, with time it became sophisticated and served as a source of income for many.<br /><br />Some analysts observed that in February of 2013, not less than twenty-three thousand herders were displaced from Benue into Cameroun by Bandits after rustling their cattle. Bandits syndicated, attacked and rustled cattle from herders who were unprotected and defenceless. Many alleged that there was a ready market in Makurdi, the capital of Benue State for rustled cattle. One argued that cattle rustling is a lucrative ‘business’ across the globe and there are often ready markets for them. And others observed that in 2014 alone about 300 herders were killed and 700 cattle rustled while a thousand others displaced. These acts of banditry are made possible and easier because of the massive proliferation of small arms and light weapons in Africa. Statistics on such issues is often difficult to come by in Africa, but the Center for Democratic Development (CDD) in Abuja, Nigeria managed to discover that there are about seven hundred to eight hundred million small arms and light weapons in West Africa alone and the majority of them find themselves into Nigeria. This makes criminal acts such as banditry and armed robbery easier. It also accounts for the numerous ethno-religious clashes that has become a basic characteristic of the Nigerian weak state or perhaps has contributed in weakening the state. The herders were sometimes attacked at night or during the daytime as they shepherd their herds and were either killed or beaten and their herds rustled away. To ensure security for themselves, the herders began to arm themselves as they shepherded their flocks. They resorted to self-defence. A Fulani has this to say “They attack and kill our people and rustle our cows without any reasons and we are being treated as if we are not Nigerians and as if livestock rearing is least important than farming thus our resolve to defend ourselves. The media is also silent on the causalities suffered by the herdsmen. They look at us a animals, the Benue State government and the farmers and the media are all teamed against us. Few years ago the Military attacked and killed six of our men and 350 cows along Gwer Local Government of Benue State. No one said anything, but if a Fulani kills a single farmer, the story will be everywhere”.<br />The phenomenon of cattle rustling is not new but has become sophisticated. The phenomenon, however, received a boost as Nigeria headed into recession and means of livelihood became leaner. It is said that desperate times call for desperate measures, but not at the expense of another right to life and property. The Fulanis who constitute 90% of Nigerian herders do not see the herds just as a means of livelihood but also as representative of their economic, social and cultural identities. It is alleged that many of those who lost their herds to rustlers became physically sick, died or suffered from one form of mental illness or the other. The twist is that herders did not quite differentiate farmers from armed bandits because they felt the bandits were fighting for the farmers, so when bandits attacked and rustle their cows, they attacked and killed farmers without discriminating between farmers and bandits.<br />Benue State became their target for various reasons. Apart from the fact that they felt Makurdi, the capital of Benue State provided ready markets for their rustled herds, herders were irked by the apparent threat of been displaced from Benue by the implementation of the anti-open grazing policy formulated by the Benue State government. These made Benue State the epicenter of the farmers-herders conflict. According to the National Secretary of the Miyetti Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria, that herders had lost over two million cows to rustlers in the last two years and most of which ended up in trucks to Makurdi to be transported to the southern part of the country. The media remained mute on some of these.<br /><br />MODUS OPERANDI OF FARMERS-HERDERS SECURITY CHALLENGE<br /><br />The conflict started between herders and farmers on a low key. It spawned and ebbed within varied times. Initially, the traditional system of conflict resolution in such villages was functional. Conflicts were therefore settled using the customary systems of conflict resolution which often took the forms of reparation and retribution. As time passed, the institution became weak.<br />Banditry was once seen as a show of bravery and love for one’s nation. People who felt discriminated by a system could come out and fight not just for themselves but for their entire nation or clan. The group began to attack the Fulani herdsmen in the name of defending farmers. The attacks increased in scope and frequency with the passage of time as decent means of livelihood became shirked due to a declining economy. The attacks occurred in rural areas where the presence of regular security personnel is almost absent. Bandits attack herders at dawn when all the herds have been assembled at a point after grazing the previous day. they come with heavy arms which outweighs those of herders. They shoot and kill those who try to resist and rustle their cattle away. It has been revealed that Bandits rustled mostly cattle because they are easy to control and fetch more income as compare to goats or sheep. The absence of security in these rural areas makes it easy for bandits to operate with free hands. Sometimes bandits would attack herdsmen in the field as they shepherd their flock and rustle the cattle away. These attacks often sparked revenge attacks. The revenge attacks are always targeted at local farmers. Herders attacked and killed indiscriminately, young and old, men and women, disabled and abled without recourse to the laws of the land. Militaries deployed to check the incessant attacks under the caption ‘Operation Whirl Stroke’ were occasionally attacked and killed. On the 27th of June 2018, herdsmen ambushed the Military in Guma LGA, shot and killed two personnel and injured the unit Commander.<br />Such attacks were occasion; those who were mostly attacked were local farmers. Most of the attacks were launched in the night or at dawn when farmers were asleep. Some observed that Hausa-Fulani herdsmen have used various weapons, tactics and strategies to kill, injure, adduct and displaced farmers from their homes. In Benue State alone, it was observed that between January, 2017 to June 2018, 4194 farmers were killed while 24, 148 others were displaced.<br />From one of the Herdsmen “They connive with criminals and steal our cows are to us what their farms are to them so if they don’t want us to destroy their farms, why steal our cows, between 2013-2018, more than 10,000 of our cows have been rustled in this state alone, close to 2000 herdsmen were killed in the attacks. No media reported this because we are not human beings. It is not only here that our cattle have been stolen. Herdsmen in Nasarawa, Plateau, Adamawa and the other surrounding states have suffered the same fate; Makurdi is the market for most of the rustled cows. To make things worse, the Benue State Government has started implementing the open grazing prohibition and ranch establishment law. This means no cow can graze freely in Benue State. They however know that our method of grazing cannot fit into what they are prescribing; they have just created a legal ground to exterminate us and our cattle. They are envious of our wealth. They know very well that Benue State is the route we pass to the southern part of the country. Many of our people are unaware of this law so they would just fall victim. The law in a way permits Benue people to steal our cows or kill them at will in the name of implementing the policy. We do not attack without first of all being provoked, when you hear of any attack, then know that is it a revenge attack”.<br />Given as it may, the destruction caused by Fulani herdsmen to farmers is too obtrusive. The conflict between farmers and herdsmen in Benue has been asymmetrical. While Fulani herdsmen posses sophisticated weapons and ammunitions, farmers rely on locally manufactured guns and machets that cannot match those of the herdsmen.<br /><br />EFFECTS OF INSECURITY IN BENUE STATE VIA FARMERS-HERDSMEN CONFLICTS<br /><br />The effects of these conflicts are however unquantifiable.<br />People are killed, children are slaughtered or orphaned, men and women widowed, wives separated from their husbands and husbands from their wives. Families are rendered homeless and the youth hopeless. Besides, Benue State is arguably the food production hub of Nigeria. Many Nigerians who come from this region are directly or indirectly employed in the agricultural sector. Most of these attacks happen when people are in the farms or farmstead. If people fear to be killed while in remote locations, definitely, many would abandon their farms. This would definitely lead to unemployment, heightened poverty, hunger and famine. I got to know that were the major effects of the farmers-herders conflict in Benue State.<br /><br />LOSS OF LIVES AND PROPERTIES<br /><br />In any wars, casualties are always recorded. People are killed and properties destroyed. The case of Benue is particular worst because many of those attacked were relatively poor, economically deprived and socially isolated. Apart from their farms or cattle, they had no any other source of livelihood. Local farmers suffered the most casualties as they had no sophisticated weapons to match those of the herdsmen and were mostly taken unawares. The table below reveals the number of casualties and houses that were razed down in each of the Local Governments.<br />Table 1: Number of people killed, houses burnt and cattle killed or rustled between 2013-2018 in Benue State.<br />LGA<br />NO.

Farmers also had about 176058 of their houses razed down. About 850 cattle were either killed or rustled. Guma local government suffered the most causalities. This is probably because Guma is one of the largest Local Governments in Benue State with Most of its farmer population scattered in several farming communities. Their system of settlement makes them easy prey for the attackers because they are scattered in far remoted farmstead which makes it difficult to access even if security outpost is to be stationed there. Their houses are mostly thatch-roofed houses built with bricks. This makes it easily consumed by fires. Their income levels can hardly meet their demands let alone buying weapons for self-defense. When herders attack, they are easily overcome. It is understood that herders may not use sophisticated weapons from hand-held rifles to AK 47s but sometimes they choose not to waste their ammunitions on defenceless farmers. They simply hack them down with their double-edge machetes. Where they encountered any resistance, they resort to their sophisticated weapons and get the deed done.<br /><br />DISPLACEMENT<br />The conflict has displaced many people and rendered many homeless. Herders were also displaced, but since they are transhumance by nature, most of them have resettled in neighbouring states like Nasarawa and Adamawa.<br />A Fulani man has this to say “Many of our people are forced to relocate from Benue. More than 10 million cattle have been moved to the neighbouring states because of the conflict. The Government has also passed a law if we don’t move they will use legal technicalities to kill our cattle. Some of them are envious of us. They just want to posses our possessions. We have left their lands for them but we shall be back”.<br />Over 300000 people are believed to be living in camps set up for IDs in Makurdi and other part of the state. The table below summarize the statistics of internally displaced persons within Benue.<br />Table 2: Number of People Displaced Between Jan. 2015-July 2018<br />LGA<br />NO.

Other people relocated completely with no hope of coming back. The fact that sometimes the herdsmen unleashed terror on farmers so much so that they resolve never to return to their old settlement even though that is their ancestral home. More people were displaced in Logo than any other Local Government. This is because Logo has few major towns most of the population is spread into the hinterland for farming purposes. This makes it difficult for any defense system to be mounted against the Fulani herdsmen. Farmers could not defend themselves let alone attacking the herdsmen. The few causalities suffered by the herdsmen were orchestrated by cattle rustlers and some security personnel who were deployed at flash points under operation whirl stroke to curb the attacks on farmers. The 1595 herdsmen who were displaced were not displaced because they feared to be attacked by farmers alone. Most them relocated because of the anti-open grazing policy which was being implemented by the Governor at that time. The policy prohibits open grazing and offenders were to be arrested and prosecuted. Fulanis are transhumance and cannot practice the ranch system which was being proposed by the law so most of them had to relocate to other places to be able to practice their free range system of rearing their animals. The implementation of the law was one of the things that angered them and they resolved to destroy Benue.<br />A Fulani man has this to say “Most of us were borne here. Our parents lived and died here. We grazed our animals here. All of a sudden, they are finding a technical way of driving us away. We were given till 1st November, 2017 to put our animals into ranches; ranches which were not given. States like Kaduna, Bauchi and Oyo which attempted this type of law had established grazing reserves. In the case of Benue State, there was nothing like this. We were simply told to comply with the law or simply relocate. It was a grand plan to get us out. We left. I know families who lost half of their cattle to rustlers as they were relocating to other states. Some lost their family members in addition to countless cattle. All these must have angered some of them who have now embarked on a revenge mission. Findings revealed that public sensitization and education on the scope of the open grazing prohibition and ranch establishment law was given and that in addition the state gave a six-month grace period for everyone to come to terms with the law before its implementation.<br /><br />VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN:<br /><br /> In Benue conflicts, women and children were indiscriminately killed. That there was no discrimination during raids; women and children were killed along with the men. Some of the women were raped to dead while others were simply hacked down, some too were abducted and taken to bush and tied on trees and allowed to cry to dead.<br />Young girls as young as twelve were raped and killed during attacks and some were abducted in their farms and taken away.<br /><br />PSYCHOLOGICAL PROBLEMS<br /><br />Besides physical problems like permanent injuries or disabilities, separation from parents, wives, children and love ones and the loss of cohesive social systems that existed prior to the wars, victims of war suffer varying psychological problems from depression to trauma. The sight of relatives being hacked down helpless and that of helpless relatives being abducted, raped or beaten remain alive in victims’ mind for long.<br /><br />One of the men narrates “They came at dawn, I was asleep with my wife and the children were also in their separate rooms. We have a system of keeping all the girls in one room and the boys too in another room. When we heard the gunshots everyone run out and we took different directions. They shot indiscriminately and killed two of my eldest children right before my eyes, they abducted my wife and she kept calling me. Some of the children managed to escape but were chased and shot dead. Some of the girls also tried to escape some made it were abducted raped and killed. My wife, till today I have not heard from her again. Of about twenty-two (22) family members, we are now nine (9) left. I have attempted killing myself several times but my brothers would not let me do it. Of what purpose is life to me? What is my used when I could not help my wife who was shouting my name as she was abducted by the marauding herdsmen”.<br /><br />PROBABLE SOLUTIONS TO THE INSECURITY IN BENUE STATE<br />Resolving the farmers-herders conflict hinges largely on the understanding between the two groups and not by the power of the bullet. Farmers and herders should find ways of revitalizing the customary system of conflict resolution so that they may explore common grounds through these mechanisms and co-exist together for mutual benefits.<br />The federal and state governments should find adequate ways of ensuring human security through education, economic empowerment and poverty reduction. This will be better achieved by the creation of grazing reserves and gazette of grazing routes so that pastoralist could have access to education, modern technologies and can enjoy the rights and privileges that are due to every Nigerian.<br /><br />The government at all levels should sensitize its people on the need to go beyond ethnicity and religion and evaluate issues with objective lenses.<br /><br />The state government should encourage a cluster system of settlement among rumours that security can be provided to them. This requires the strengthening of herders’ civil associations like the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) and Miyetti Allah Kyauta Hore which would aggregate the needs for the rearing of herds and connecting them to the appropriate authority for proper action.<div class="yj6qo"></div><div class="adL"><br /><br /> </div></div><div class="adL"></div></div></blockquote></div></div></div></div><div class="hi" style="background: rgb(242, 242, 242); border-bottom-left-radius: 1px; border-bottom-right-radius: 1px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; width: auto;"></div></div></div><div class="ajx" style="clear: both;"></div></div><div class="gA gt acV" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border-bottom-left-radius: 0px; border-bottom-right-radius: 0px; border-top: none; color: #222222; font-family: "Google Sans", Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; width: auto;"><div class="gB xu" style="border-top: 0px; padding: 0px;"><div class="ip iq" style="border-top: none; clear: both; margin: 0px; padding: 16px 0px;"><div id=":1a7"><table class="cf wS" role="presentation" style="border-collapse: collapse;"><tbody><tr><td class="amq" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 16px; vertical-align: top; visibility: hidden; width: 44px;"><img class="ajn bofPge" data-hovercard-id="officecmm@gmail.com" id=":14q_2" jid="officecmm@gmail.com" name=":14q" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a/AGNmyxZSNNv_sXveu509pgWaqwFy9lzzaWGvMsWftrVwCjc=s40-p" style="border-radius: 50%; display: block; height: 40px; width: 40px;" /></td><td class="amr" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; width: 1120px;"><div class="nr wR" style="border-radius: 1px; border: none; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; transition: none 0s ease 0s;"><div class="amn" style="align-items: center; color: inherit; display: flex; height: auto; line-height: 20px; padding: 0px;"><span class="ams bkH" id=":1ad" jslog="21576; u014N:cOuCgd,Kr2w4b; 1:WyIjdGhyZWFkLWY6MTc2NjI3MTM1OTE5Mzk1NDc1NCIsbnVsbCxudWxsLG51bGwsbnVsbCxudWxsLG51bGwsbnVsbCxudWxsLG51bGwsbnVsbCxudWxsLG51bGwsW11d; 4:WyIjbXNnLWY6MTc2NjI3MTM1OTE5Mzk1NDc1NCIsbnVsbCxbXV0." role="link" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-user-drag: none; align-items: center; background: none; border-radius: 18px; border: 1px solid rgb(116, 119, 117); box-shadow: none; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444746; cursor: pointer; display: inline-flex; font-size: 0.875rem; height: 36px; justify-content: center; margin-right: 8px; min-width: 104px; outline: none; padding: 0px 16px 0px 12px; position: relative; user-select: none; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0">Reply</span><span class="ams bkG" id=":1ac" jslog="21578; u014N:cOuCgd,Kr2w4b; 1:WyIjdGhyZWFkLWY6MTc2NjI3MTM1OTE5Mzk1NDc1NCIsbnVsbCxudWxsLG51bGwsbnVsbCxudWxsLG51bGwsbnVsbCxudWxsLG51bGwsbnVsbCxudWxsLG51bGwsW11d; 4:WyIjbXNnLWY6MTc2NjI3MTM1OTE5Mzk1NDc1NCIsbnVsbCxbXV0." role="link" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-user-drag: none; align-items: center; background: none; border-radius: 18px; border: 1px solid rgb(116, 119, 117); box-shadow: none; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444746; cursor: pointer; display: inline-flex; font-size: 0.875rem; height: 36px; justify-content: center; margin-right: 8px; min-width: 104px; outline: none; padding: 0px 16px 0px 12px; position: relative; user-select: none; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0">Forward</span></div></div></td></tr></tbody></table></div></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><form Method="POST" action="http://www.feedblitz.com/f/f.fbz?AddNewUserDirect">

The great harvest is upon us and the glory of our Lord pierces every darkness and evil plan from the enemy of our soul. As this pandemic winds down, mass demonic deception continues, and we must prepare for the next man-made disaster. We, as followers of Jesus, believe the Word and Psalm 91 through every crisis the world faces. In this short let us look at what the Bible says about giving to the poor to unlock his blessings and abundance in good times and bad. </span></span></p><span id="docs-internal-guid-e6db3e1e-7fff-4b41-34c4-09901269e229"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> Jesus did not come to earth to take your money and give it to those who do not have; He came to destroy the works of the devil. </span><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">“The Son of God appeared for this very reason, to destroy what the Devil had done.” </span><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">1 John 3:8 (NKJV)</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh19tlyWGYD-vj3P8ycrx5gO-pb9t43V8hInkFbZG7RDzIKIq8HSbGn1-9HT7paBc-qjGEzqWCcKWVxXg0pOn7RTrJf5V_yULwY-bcKllJbhXQrktbhrnRMiffkgEvpWtmW7top2Z1ueN2S4mYuPPQIfbgRbEkrOHwo6PWTzZNiHrzRdSW6UmM/s545/The%20NET.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="308" data-original-width="545" height="181" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh19tlyWGYD-vj3P8ycrx5gO-pb9t43V8hInkFbZG7RDzIKIq8HSbGn1-9HT7paBc-qjGEzqWCcKWVxXg0pOn7RTrJf5V_yULwY-bcKllJbhXQrktbhrnRMiffkgEvpWtmW7top2Z1ueN2S4mYuPPQIfbgRbEkrOHwo6PWTzZNiHrzRdSW6UmM/s320/The%20NET.jpg" width="320" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span><p></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> Luke 12:15 </span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">“Take care, and be on your guard against all covetousness”</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">.

The Holy Spirit will prompt the heart and that is His way from the beginning.</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Exodus 15:1-2 “Then Moses and the children of Israel sang this song to the Lord, and spoke, saying:</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 11pt; margin-top: 11pt; padding: 0pt 0pt 11pt 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: arial;">“I will sing to the Lord, For He has triumphed gloriously!</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 11pt; margin-top: 0pt; padding: 0pt 0pt 11pt 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The horse and its rider He has thrown into the sea!</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 2.1999999999999997; margin-bottom: 11pt; margin-left: 11pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">2 The Lord </span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 12pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">is</span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> my strength and song, And He has become my salvation; He </span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 12pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">is</span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> my God, and I will praise Him; My father’s God, and I will exalt Him.”</span></span></p><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: arial;">God loves a cheerful giver.

(A graduate of the CMM College of Theology)</span><div><span style="font-family: garamond, times new roman, serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><b><br />WHERE THERE IS NO PROPHETIC VOICE, RELIGION WILL BE THE BLUEPRINT<span class="gmail_default" style="font-family: garamond, serif;"> by Anita Alexander</span></b><br />Prophets carry blueprints. The blueprints are the “ways of God” found in His word.<br />The prophetic voice calls God's people back to the ancient paths - His blueprint (JEREMIAH 6:16), the blueprints of His presence, loving Him first, walking by faith and being led by the Spirit of God, His ways, not ours.<br />In this hour, the Prophetic voice is calling God's people out of a Saul blueprint into a Davidic government blueprint.<br />A Davidic Government blueprint honours the presence of God as its first priority and fulfills all that’s in the heart and mind of God (Acts 13:22). A Saul government is not interested in the presence of God as priority, but rather, reputation and what looks pleasing in the sight of man. This is a religious blueprint.<br />1 Chronicles 13:3 “And let us bring again the ark of our God to us, for we did not seek it during the days of Saul.”<br /><br />How do we overcome a religious spirit? We welcome the prophetic voice, we honour the prophetic voice in our community, we nurture and cultivate a prophetic culture.<br />The prophetic is the spirit of religion’s arch enemy. The prophetic voice will address religious mindsets and cultures. It will address hard and rebellious hearts. It will expose foundations and blueprints that are built from self promotion and a self righteous motivation deeply rooted in unbelief. Religions’ blueprint says your identity is found in what you do, not in who Jesus is. Therefore its foundation is pride and is self serving and self preserving.<br />The prophetic voice and prophetic culture nurtures, encourages and continues to challenge the people of God to always love Him first. This then stirs hearts to pursue and remain in intimacy, and walk in His ways. The result of a people who are completely in love with Jesus, know who they are and are a people who are able to overcome, rather than perishing in a valley of unbelief and becoming dead dried bones.<br />It was the prophetic voice of Ezekiel that breathed life into death and called forth a people who forgot who they were into their overcoming identity as a might army! Ezekiel 37.<br />For where there is no vision the people perish. Proverbs 29:18. This means where there is no prophetic vision, the people loose self control and do not remain in His ways. They go back to religion. They build with their own insight. Which is the works of the flesh and scripture tells us this profits nothing.<br />In fact the bible actually says that the works of the flesh is witchcraft (Galatians 5), which means that those things done in the flesh are rebellious to God's ways. Rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, (1 Samuel 15:23).<br />Religion is rebellious to God's ways because it is built from the motive to promote man not God. Religion does not require faith (which brings heaven and pleases God), because it relies on one’s own ability and talents. The works of the flesh will war against the ways of the spirit. Therefore the fruit of a religious spirit is death to the move of God's presence.<br />Where religion has a voice it will cause God's people to be resistant to the paths of His presence. It will kill off the desire for intimacy with the Lord and feed the flesh in entertainment style worship and social programs style community.<br />Where the spirit of the Lord is there is freedom.<br />2 Corinthians 3:17<br />Religion hinders maturity in the people of God and it keeps them in the realm of carnality. They are people who are emotionally or intellectually driven, relying on their carnal senses rather than discerning by the Spirit of God.<br />If there is a religious stranglehold in a community, region or nation, the voice of the prophetic needs to be awakened, received and honoured. That is the antidote to the religious spirit.<br />Leaders this is for you. If your church or community lack a hunger for prayer and TRUE authentic expression of worship (Not showmanship style worship), if there is a resistance and lack of breakthrough in the move of God's spirit, if it seems spiritually dead then you need to cultivate and honour the prophetic voice and prophetic anointing within your community and city. You will begin to see resurrection life come as the prophetic is honoured through prophetic worship, intercession and through prophetic mouthpieces who release the word of the Lord in warning, correction, foresight or encouragement. Watch it bring life!<br />You will begin to receive greater insight and strategy in how to take regions and your local jurisdiction for Christ, how to align with Gods blueprints and see the outpouring of heaven upon your service for the Lord.<br />HONOUR THE PROPHETIC VOICE AND LIVE<br />2 CHRONICLES 20:20<br />Anita Alexander</span></div><div><span style="font-family: garamond, times new roman, serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: garamond, serif; font-size: large;">Join millions around the earth in the Isaiah 62 prayer and fast for Israel May 7th-28th with IHOP-KC and fellow CMM Member Chaim Mailspin, who lives in Israel.</div><div class="gmail_default"><a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v%3D5okzhk19UEo%26t%3D8s%25E2%2580%258B&source=gmail&ust=1683372519502000&usg=AOvVaw0rhh58vouaEAgS4iRzepeu" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5okzhk19UEo&t=8s%E2%80%8B" style="color: #1155cc; font-family: garamond, serif; font-size: large;" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?<wbr></wbr>v=5okzhk19UEo&t=8s</a> <span style="font-family: garamond, times new roman, serif; font-size: medium;">Chaim Mailspin with Aliyah Return Center in Israel is a CMM Member.
