Jesus, what’s on your heart?
“I am drawing My brides closer and closer in this season like never before. Take some time to rest in Me and in My presence. Don’t be in a rush to go to the next thing when you feel the anointing, My beloved one. The songs I played this morning were exactly what I wanted you to hear. I drew you exactly where I wanted you, to be in My loving arms. There you find safety and rest and strength as I draw you and pull you in close to My heart like the child you are. You will understand this much more clearly in the next few weeks upon the arrival of your little gift.
“That will be the place where you will love for this soul to be the most. This soul will learn to love it there as well, but as this soul grows it will be less and less often as you will then desire more and more often treasuring the moments when this soul rested in your arms. Then you will understand My desire for all My brides to do the same. Thank you for catching the quickening of the Holy Spirit. Begin to intercede for My beloved lost flock, the Jewish people.”
As an aside when the Lord began to play one of the worship songs, it caused me to enter deeply in his presence. I could feel his presence so tangibly and since he wanted me to intercede, I began to pray in the spirit and Israel popped in my mind. I began to pray for her and our Jewish brothers and sisters, all over the world, to come to the knowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord.
Then further confirming these thoughts, were my readings during the Lord's Supper. My Entrance was,
Isaiah 66:10-11,
"Rejoice with Jerusalem and be glad for her, all you who love her; rejoice greatly with her, all you who mourn over her. For you will nurse and be satisfied at her comforting breasts; you will drink deeply and delight in her overflowing abundance"
And my Psalm reading was from
Psalm 137:1-6
By the rivers of Babylon, we sat and wept
when we remembered Zion.
2 There on the poplars
we hung our harps,
3 for there our captors asked us for songs,
our tormentors demanded songs of joy;
they said, “Sing us one of the songs of Zion!”
4 How can we sing the songs of the Lord
while in a foreign land?
5 If I forget you, Jerusalem,
may my right hand forget its skill.
6 May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth
if I do not remember you,
if I do not consider Jerusalem
my highest joy.
and dashes them against the rocks.
Jesus continued,’
“They are scattered everywhere, all over the world. Some in Israel and many more in different parts of the world, not knowing their identity or their Jewish heritage or bloodline. But that will soon change, very soon I might add as the nearing of my coming gets closer. Even now the angels have been sent to the four corners of the earth to draw My chosen ones back to Me, back to My heart. And I am that doing one by one.”
Isaiah 11:12
He will set up a banner for the nations. And will assemble the outcasts of Israel, And gather together the dispersed of Judah From the four corners of the earth.
“Giving them first an understanding of who I am, My love for them, and then soon of their real heritage, and a love also for their Jewish brethren. Do not stop praying, My beloved ones, for Israel. There is the nation of Israel and there is the spiritual Israel one in which all My children are a part of, even the Gentiles who have been grafted in”
What came to my mind was Romans 11:11-31. The title in the Bible is called,
Israel Rejection Is Not Final
Romans 11:11-31
Say then, have they stumbled that they should fall? Certainly not! But through their fall, to provoke them to jealousy, salvation has come to the Gentiles. 12 Now if their fall is riches for the world, and their failure riches for the Gentiles, how much more their fullness!
13 For I speak to you Gentiles; inasmuch as I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry, 14 if by any means I may provoke to jealousy those who are my flesh and save some of them. 15 For if their being cast away is the reconciling of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?
16 For if the firstfruit is holy, the lump is also holy; and if the root is holy, so are the branches. 17 And if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them, and with them became a partaker of the root and fatness of the olive tree, 18 do not boast against the branches. But if you do boast, remember that you do not support the root, but the root supports you.
19 You will say then, “Branches were broken off that I might be grafted in.” 20 Well said. Because of unbelief, they were broken off, and you stand by faith. Do not be haughty, but fear. 21 For if God did not spare the natural branches, He may not spare you either. 22 Therefore consider the goodness and severity of God: on those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in His goodness. Otherwise, you also will be cut off. 23 And they also, if they do not continue in unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again. 24 For if you were cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and were grafted contrary to nature into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these, who are natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?
25 For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. 26 And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written:
“The Deliverer will come out of Zion, And He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob;
27 For this is My covenant with them When I take away their sins.”
28 Concerning the gospel they are enemies for your sake, but concerning the election, they are beloved for the sake of the fathers. 29 For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable. 30 For as you were once disobedient to God, yet have now obtained mercy through their disobedience, 31 even so these also have now been disobedient, that through the mercy shown you, they also may obtain mercy.
I hope you understand this passage. It is very, very meaty. But basically what Paul is instructing the church or instructing us, by the Holy Spirit is that we should not forget our Jewish brothers and sisters. The Lord has made it clear on the channel that many of us, guys, Heartdwellers have Jewish blood in us, myself included. So we cannot forget our Jewish brethren. We cannot. As Gentiles, we were grafted in because of their unbelief, because of their disobedience. And God did that purposely to make them jealous, in order to ensure that they would turn back to Him at some point. So if the rejection of Christ, the rejection of the truth was for our benefit, the benefit of Gentiles to be grafted in…so many Gentiles have to know Jesus Christ is Lord…, then how much more if our Jewish brethren come to the knowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord? Look what a blessing it’s been because of their rejection, what many Gentiles have gained. So, Paul is also asking us not to be proud and not to boast because the truth of the matter is that we’re not the root. They are the root. Or, I should say, since I have Jewish blood as well, that we’re the root, and the Gentiles are grafted in the support system but not the root. It is the Jewish people who are the root. So we cannot forget them. We must pray for them fervently, for our brothers and sisters to come to the knowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord.
And I love what it says here in verse 25, that we should not be ignorant of this mystery because the truth is that all of Israel will be saved. And that’s not talking about just specifically the nation of Israel but all of the Jewish people will come to the knowledge of Christ and be saved as it is written, “26…The Deliverer with come out of Zion and turn away ungodliness from Jacob, for this is the Covenant God has made when He takes away their sins”. So, it’s so important that we pray for them.
Jesus continued,
“I long to have a people to Myself. I long for their affection and the consolation of their friendship. For those who know Me how blessed and favored are you to enter into My mercy and My grace. And now, I want you to pray the same for your lost brethren. Many will come into the sheepfold when they see Me and mourn for the one they have pierced (Zechariah 12:10). But until that time it’s your prayers that turn the heart of this nation, turn the heart of a people whom I had chosen and set apart before the foundation of the world to be My very own.
“They are a burden on My heart and I want you to keep them a burden on yours, My beloved brides, just as you asked My little one.”
And sure enough, I did ask the Lord yesterday, to please give me a burden.
“This is one of the many burdens I leave with you now. Do not forget her. Pray daily for the peace of Jerusalem for that is where I will set My feet in My second coming, (Zechariah 14:14 And in that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, Which faces Jerusalem on the east. And the Mount of Olives shall be split in two, From east to west, Making a very large valley; Half of the mountain shall move toward the north And half of it toward the south.
“Pray for My people to return back to Me”
That was the end of Jesus’ message.
