Are
we desperate enough to cry out to
the
Lord, take off the masks, and be real and present our true state of
heart.
How much do we really want to carry the burden of the Lord and get rid
of
the hardness of heart? I wrote this a couple years ago.
Pray
for me for I usually just delete
anything
that has anything to do with Israel and what is going on over there. I
feel so hard and uncaring and I need so much to have a church that has
a strong spirit of intercession and love for Israel. We as a people of
God should be
gathering and crying out for peace and mercy for Israel and I don't see
it.
Oh please Lord come upon your people and stir their hearts especially
the
pastors who are to lead the flock into truth. Stir the hearts of your
pastors
and leaders to what is important. Prayer and fasting and
worship!!!!
Lord,
if you don't do something in my
heart!
I feel like I am dying! Stir up the spirit of love and intercession for
your
holy people, Israel. Please Lord do something Lord before it is too
late.
I cry out to you, Lord! Please Lord. Deliver us of anti semitism and
Babylon Lord!!!! Gather us together to press in for what is important
and that is
what is on Your heart Lord!!!! I am honest with you and before your
people.
I cry out to you, Lord, change me. Give me a heart of compassion and
intercession
and love for your people.
LORD!!!!!!
Bombs are flying, people are
crying,
fearful and lost without you. We should be down on our knees as a
church
together crying out. Break the hardness of our hearts, Lord. Stir us,
wake
us, shake us, do what it takes to get us to be a church of prayer.
Deliver
us of all religion and pride, Lord. Take off our masks and cause us to
cry
out for repentance and for your help in our deprived state. We are like
lost sheep without a pastor to lead us to the waters of truth. Lord,
you know what
we need to bring us to where we need to be. I cry out for it. In Your
holy
name I pray!!!

WORD
OF THE LORD
You have cried out to stir My
people to pray. Do you think
that
they
will hear you? They
will not hear Me. You are one voice crying
in the sea of many to know My
heart. Even My prophets will not strip
themselves of their own self
made events to place upon this sack
cloth for another.
Israel, people born in
My Spirit, do you love your brother?
Have you beheld with closed eyes
as war has come to slaughter your
mother Jerusalem, and to
ravish your sister Israel? Indifference is
birthed by your
complacency and now the pains of travail shall
come.
Will you continue to gaze at the
speck far in the distance, while
refusing to see that which is before your
own face? Are you My servant? Are you My
friend? Where is the disciple
of this hour? Where are the intercessors
who feel the throbbing of my
heart? Shall I find another who will
weep for the cause
of their GOD? My eyes
do search and seek those who will
abandon their
own selves to stand in the
gap and pray. Where are the girded
standers? Where are the eyes that weep
for My people, Israel? You stare
blankly into
the distant horizon not
realizing that your back doors are now
open to
the devourer.
Gird yourselves
watchmen. WATCH! SEE! PRAY!
Bring forth the
sackcloth intercessors and yield your tears
for My
people, Israel. I say plainly,
the horizon is but a speck of illusion
for the
complacent. Look! See! Open
your eyes and your heart towards My
Israel and you will find
the heart of your
GOD.

Acts
20 Also of your own
selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things,
to
draw away disciples after them. Therefore watch,
and remember, that by the space of three years I
ceased
not to warn every one night and day with tears. And now,
brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his
grace,
which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all
them
which are sanctified.
Divine Lordship is not a threat; rather it’s the
place of greatest safety.
