The Action Report December 2006 My Precious Friend, “A BROKEN HEART!” Those words can cause pain just hearing or reading them. Yet it is often through a broken heart that we see more clearly the broken heart of God for us. Broken two ways. First, the way we so often ignore Him as our stinky “self” rules too much of the day. Second, the way God feels the pain and comes as a tender Father to His hurting child who is crying for His help. I carry a heart that has been broken two times over Israel and my Jewish friends. First it was broken over how Gentiles—especially those who called themselves Christians—treated the Jews. But second, my heart is also broken on how Jesus is treated by most Jews. Many see Him as bad news, not good news. As an enemy, not a friend. As a gentile god out to get them, not as the Son of God who came as a Jew to love them. It is the longest running one-sided love affair in history—Jews spurning their Messiah; Yeshuah yearning for their trust. Of course, there has always been a remnant of Jewish followers of Jesus. Today, that tribe is fast increasing. And one day, at God’s appointed time, His chosen people will welcome their redeemer and rescuer. Then God’s heart and my heart (and your heart, too?) won’t be broken anymore. I stand amazed over God’s mysterious and wonderful ways. Taking the worst of the worst—me—out of a life of bigotry to a heart filled with love for Jews. From wishing them harm to defending them from harm. From the deception that Christmas was something “un-Jewish” to the truth that it is all Jewish. Jewish towns and country. Jewish prophecies. Jewish maiden stunned at the news of an angel. Jewish John the baptizer. Jewish Yeshua. Jewish disciples. Jewish fellowships. Jewish missionaries. Jewish good guys. Jewish bad guys. But all—EVERYTHING—Jewish! I share this message boldly with my Jewish friends near and far. I’m now planning on taking the message again to Israel—for perhaps the 20th time. This Christmas, let your heart be broken with mine. Broken to stand against all hatred aimed against Israel and the Jews. And broken to speak boldly the love of Jesus to the Jews and Israel. Your prayers and financial support keep this message going out strong and clear. Please help us again this month. Thanks for standing with me, Frank Eiklor Related Articles · More Articles Jesus said many would come in His name and deceive the hearts of the simple, sinful and proud. Eastern mysticism and meditation is a big thing in the gullible West. And one day a “world leader” will appear on the scene with the persuasion of a god and the heart of a devil. Jesus warns His children to know the Scriptures, live in obedience to the Father’s will, and stay alert to the signs of the times. They laugh no more. Now God’s description of how He will destroy the old earth and create a
new one makes perfect sense. The splitting of the atom turned many skeptics into believers.
After all, look what man himself is capable of doing with the atom and hydrogen bombs. Now
the fear is that nuclear weapons are being placed in the hands of madmen who wish to annihilate
their enemies. God has blessed man with incredible genius. We stand in awe as we watch men and women in a room full of computers and high-tech instruments guiding and landing spacecraft on distant planets. At that moment, we appear invincible. But then a mammoth tornado comes—or a terrifying hurricane—or rains that flood whole regions and never listen to our shouts to “Stop!”—or the shake that removes from under our feet any confidence or pride we carry, and leaves us numb with hardly enough breath to even utter the paralyzing word “EARTHQUAKE!”. And man is helpless in the face of it all! |
