Archives/Archivos It is often when the storms hit that the fish bite best. We must catch God's heart for the Jews and Israel if we are to understand His incredible love for us...The Jews have suffered Inquisitions, pogroms and the Holocaust. Yet only three years after Hitler's suicide - he who had hoped to kill all Jews - Israel had a physical rebirth in 1948 that defies human reasoning. Never fear the sense of loneliness that tries to come when sleep won't. That loneliness is your spirit saying, "I'm lonely for the One who loves me most. I'm lonely for You, Father." There are “Alba’s” all over the world. I want to reach all I can while I can. So much impact on this journey! I left a big part of my heart with them. Did you hear the story of two artists who were asked to paint a picture illustrating peace? Here's how it goes... No wonder the songwriter wrote, "Jesus is the sweetest name I know." The very name in Hebrew means "salvation." And that is what He has become for us... I embraced the Jewish believers and declared that I wish every Jew and Gentile had a relationship with the Messiah. Yes, we paid a price in less “popularity” in Jewish/Christian dialogues. But the ministry continued with unconditional love for all people. We are to set apart the Lord alone - no substitutes for Him or additions to Him. A total relationship! He alone is to be our fear lest He lose that place in our hearts reserved only for God and we transfer that reservation to idols. A total reverence! He is to be held in awe-inspiring dread lest we fall into the trap of believing that God only cries over our disobedience rather than the truth that He often must crush it! A total regard! The years have flown by but the message hasn’t changed. The banner—fidelity to Jesus Christ—yet waves over this ministry. The big difference over nearly 40 years has been that God’s dependability worked in us reliability that has given us credibility. Why do so few Christians ever carry a missionary heart for the lost of the world? Years of observation have caused me to see it's because our glimpse of the Lord is more a glance than the long look that awes us with His holiness and stabs us with our own filthiness. |
