Small Straws In A Soft Wind I received this on May 26, 2008 and it really ministered to my spirit and confirms what is happening in my life and what God is doing. —Louise

It is time to leave behind all things that have brought defilement to your soul and spirit. Offer up your carnal reactions to circumstances on the altar of your heart, and let the purifying fires burn. I am giving you multiple opportunities to arise to a new level of spiritual experience where you can truly live in that spiritual realm of the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
Philippians 3:13 Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead.
"You have truly been in a dark night of the soul and have even fought valiantly for your very life and health. And, you have questioned how the things you have endured have worked together for your good. Consider that humility is a mantle that My people must wear and it is the sign of submission to My will. But, it comes with a great price, for true humility is born out of adversity and complete reliance on My help in times of trouble. Rejoice that you have been tested and found worthy, but you must continue to walk in humility.
James 4:10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.
"Take every opportunity to learn to rest in the sufficiency of My grace. The demands on your time and energy have been extreme, but know that I have strengthened you to do all that has been set before you to accomplish. Never fear, for I am with you to bring you through every trial in victory.
2 Corinthians 3:5 Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think of anything as being from ourselves, but our sufficiency is from God,
"Every revelation of My word and the work of My kingdom is a stepping stone to complete liberty. If you were able to see all truth theoretically instead of experientially, it would be worthless to you. These are the days when every step forward has a monumental impact on your spirit, soul and body. The door is open for your continued progression and freedom.
James 1:25 But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does. Read more..

Days of Danger and Glory By Reuven and Mary Lou Doron Ministry Contact: OneNewManMail@aol.com
Historically, the three weeks between July 20, 2008 (17th of Tammuz) and August 10, 2008 (9th of Av), represent a season of danger, mourning and destruction for the Jewish people. According to Rabbinic source, there is a particular hideous demon power assigned for this season which repeatedly manifests death, hatred and devastation during this very time.
On these dates the Babylonian army destroyed the first Jerusalem Temple (586 BC), the Roman legions destroyed the second Temple (70 AD), the stronghold of Bar Kochba fell, ending the final stand of Jewish independence against Rome (135 AD), France expelled its Jewish population (1182 AD), England expelled its Jewish population (1290 AD), Spain expelled its Jewish population (1492), Polish Jews were massacred by Chmelnicky (1648 AD), Nazi atrocities strategically were carried out on these dates during WW2, and more…
Needless to say, as many of the intercessors have already noticed, these days can be characterized by spiritual heaviness, anguish and grief. Pick up the weapons of worship and praise, therefore, and make these days of vigilance, warfare and heightened prayer instead. God is on the move and His desire for our lives has not changed. In fact, as the global stage turns darker and more challenging daily, God’s strategic purpose of drawing Israel and the Church to Himself in One Body is more embattled and crucial then even before.
The Root of All Divisions
As we consider the unfolding drama of Israel coming under greater and graver pressures, the Church of the Lord Jesus experiencing early revival stages, and the coming together of the two, we face the deepest, widest, and most ancient of schisms in the fabric of humanity. There has never been a more severe disconnection with such far reaching consequences than the one between Jew and Gentile.
This break started as soon as God called Father Abraham and appointed him to become the father of a nation. This nation, according to God’s Word, will be His “… own possession among all the peoples . . . a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.” (Ex. 19: 5-6) The very fabric of humanity was rent at that moment as the Lord God separated unto Himself a people group who would be different, exclusive, and set apart for a specific purpose. As is often the case, the setting apart of the one necessitates establishing distance from the others, and the chasm began to grow. Read more.. |
