The Action Report We Keep Loving, Defending and Helping them - Unconditionally My special friend,
How many tears can a heart contain? Only God knows. But I cry a lot. If only every human could experience Jesus. The REAL Jesus! Alive! Loving! Arms outstretched! Invisible Spirit but more real than visible flesh. Some - I know for a fact - experience Him. I'm there when they confess Him as Savior. Others? I can only hope. Like many Jewish people I hold dear. They applauded me for defending them and their people from the devil's disciples of hate. Some stood in awe. "We know you care. You require nothing, yet you help us more than we help ourselves. Why?"
"It's because of Jesus. He's alive in my life and gives me His love." My answer was (and is) so simple. "It's because of Jesus. He's alive in my life and gives me His love." So we plant the seeds of God's chosen Messiah. Sometimes lots of seed. Like Isaiah 53. Some listen with respect as we share their own scriptures. Others shut down with "Stop! You're talking about Jesus! I don't want to hear it!"
But they see we keep loving them. Defending them. Helping them. Unconditionally. Then I hear the news as one by one they die. Two Prime Ministers of Israel. A great actor. A popular hair stylist. A human rights activist. A holocaust survivor. Recently, an Israeli General. Many of them were movers and shakers in the Jewish world. ...we keep loving them. Defending them. Helping them. Unconditionally
They all applauded us to one degree or another. But my tears fall. Did any of them recognize Him before that last breath. Some did. But what about the one who said, "If you really want our favor, just say that Jesus is good news for Gentiles but not for Jews!"? Well, we couldn't. And can't. The real Jesus is the ONLY news for all!
God who has the final word will demand that every knee bow and every tongue admit that Jesus is Lord. No pouting, no doubting, no angry shouting can change His unchanging mind on that score. Pray that my team members and I will be so full of this living Jesus that He will be seen and felt by others-Jew and Gentile-who will bow now, before they die, rather than later when they have no choice. The real Jesus is the ONLY news for all!
Your life counts. Your prayers count. Oh for God to entrust more of His heart to the Shalom team and me so that we can give it to others!

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! |
