THANK YOU!

I am so glad that you are seeing and hearing what we know to be the Spirit speaking to us... and many others out there. As we shared before, we do believe the Lord is busy preparing us, building us up, teaching us to depend on Him more than ever, for whatever (and whenever) may transpire. <br /><br />I will order that book! I began to well up when I read what you shared there about that couple and your encounter.<br /><br />It's so strange. I don't know how you feel, but some days I am so unmotivated to do anything but "watch." I work at home as graphic designer, so it's usually hard enough to stay disciplined! But for the most part I sense the Lord saying, "Keep working, enjoying your family and friends, loving them... while at the same time listen and watch. Take heed to My instructions and always be ready to give the Reason for the hope that is within you!"<br /><br />Here's something that has blown me away recently... doing some research into the comparison of Jesus and the Bride of Christ to the ancient Jewish wedding ceremony. Just amazing and wonderful... what appears to be intended similarities and a confirmation of what is to come:<br /><br />The Husband paid a price to the Father of the Bride for her (Jesus' sacrifice for us).<br /><br />Before the wedding the Husband promises to go away to prepare a place for her (Jesus states in John 14:3).<br /><br />At the wedding feast the Bride is LIFTED UP (like the servants in the OT lifted the Ark of the Covenant).<br /><br />After the wedding and marriage feast the Husband and Bride go away for 7 DAYS and then RETURN together.<br /><br />There's more details I'm sure, but that's what I've gleaned thus far from this. Perry Stone did this video a few years ago that talks about this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nj7rw0f4fII&feature=related<br /><br />So much happening so quickly. I do believe He is so close, but should be not be praying that He delay so that even more will come to know Him?<br /><br />Even so, come Lord Jesus!<br /><br />Blessing to you, Sis. May He continue to keep you strong and focused upon Him.<br /><br />Daveforetasteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15169961812131189084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4525258308924021722.post-54364611348155940232011-08-05T08:25:59.172-07:002011-08-05T08:25:59.172-07:00Dave,

I can't explain what is happening on the inside of me lately, but the awakening to/awareness of His nearness is bursting forth within me in ways that are simply not human. <br /><br />Father has me awakening to the side of the coin of how the Jews are embracing Jesus and returning to their homeland of Israel, as has been prophesied. A couple weekends ago I attended a homeschool conference not even being sure why (still not entirely sure), but I was drawn like a magnet to a particular booth set up in the exhibit hall. It was of a dear married Messianic Jewish couple who was selling their materials on how the Lord is drawing His precious Jewish children back to Him (and their land). I picked up a book that I've hardly been able to put down since then, as my heart leaps at its reading - literally, I feel like my heart beats faster. <br /><br />The book is titled "God's Promise and the Future of Israel" by Don Finto. It is riveting, in my opinion. He shows many real life examples of the Jewish homecoming that is occurring and even how it aligns with specifically prophecy that I was unaware of. When taken into consideration, along with all the other signs of our times - we are seeing "ALL THESE THINGS" happening right now in our day. <br /><br />It is none other than amazing how Father is connecting the dots for me, including bringing certain people into my path "in the fullness of time." <br /><br />Brother, you keep walking in your fanaticism - it is for reason! John the Baptist was quite the fanatic, wasn't he? The premise of the first half of the book I mentioned is (as stated in the book) "The Time Has Come." <br /><br />My favorite quote so far is "When the promise of God and the timing of God intersect, there is a 'suddenly' that causes a significant change in the world, and God begins to look for people who will participate with Him in what He is doing in that generation." His point is that we are living in a time when God's promise and timing are intersecting... again, as has happened at key points in history. It is the entire reason the Jews rejected the Messiah - they refused to see God's promise intersecting with His divine timing. That is changing before our eyes NOW!!<br /><br />Thanks for the post! Listen to what's in your heart! He dwells there!!!Free Spirithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00942692680513002360noreply@blogger.com
