My Sheep

5-23-12

The Lord and I are walking through an empty church building void of people.
We are surveying the empty building together.
My impression is that this is now and not far off from being the norm for today.

As we are walking , He says" You see these empty buildings, they are void of me, so they are empty."
I asked"where did all the people go?." He answered me "To a place where they can get fed and fed the truth of My word." He put his head down looking sad.  I put my hand on his upper arm and looks up.
My plan was for them to get fed the meat of the word . Then the fullness of My presence and Joy would come.

They would enjoy the fullness of My covenant and the covenant of My Love.
He looks down again.
Instead, My sheep have been battered and smashed by the Hirelings.

My sheep will now be led by My Glorious Presence and people who know me and people who know me by my name.
My leaders who will rise up, have suffered much and given everything over to Me.
They have trusted Me , walked by Faith and know Me intimately.
They have paid the price to walk closely with Me, and as to know My ways.

They will go to the most battered ones, My sheep , and collect them off the highways and byways.
They will bind them up, heal them and set them free.
They will walk in extraordinary Love to heal their hearts.
My extravagant Love.

You will not be able to deny who they are because the world will hate them.

I will gather them into a place of safety from the taunting of the enemy.
Theses servants who will carry out my will, will be by my side waiting for every last instruction and detail for the end-time care of my people.

Yes all things will be attended to, but my broken and battered sheep come first.
 Do not look back or neglect your time with me.

Come follow Me.

I was there in the beginning...

Isaiah 41 : 1-13

Isaiah 41

English Standard Version (ESV)

Fear Not, for I Am with You

41  Listen to me in silence, O coastlands;
    let the peoples renew their strength;
let them approach, then let them speak;
    let us together draw near for judgment.
Who stirred up one from the east
    whom victory meets at every step?[a]
He gives up nations before him,
    so that he tramples kings underfoot;
he makes them like dust with his sword,
     like driven stubble with his bow.
He pursues them and passes on safely,
    by paths his feet have not trod.
Who has performed and done this,
    calling the generations from the beginning?
I, the Lord, the first,
    and with the last; I am he.
The coastlands have seen and are afraid;
    the ends of the earth tremble;
    they have drawn near and come.
Everyone helps his neighbor
    and says to his brother, “Be strong!”
The craftsman strengthens the goldsmith,
    and he who smooths with the hammer him who strikes the anvil,
saying of the soldering, “It is good”;
    and they strengthen it with nails so that it cannot be moved.
But you, Israel, my servant,
    Jacob, whom I have chosen,
    the offspring of Abraham, my friend;
you whom I took from the ends of the earth,
    and called from its farthest corners,
saying to you, “You are my servant,
     I have chosen you and not cast you off”;
10 fear not, for I am with you;
    be not dismayed, for I am your God;
I will strengthen you, I will help you,
    I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
11  Behold, all who are incensed against you
    shall be put to shame and confounded;
those who strive against you
    shall be as nothing and shall perish.
12  You shall seek those who contend with you,
    but you shall not find them;
those who war against you
    shall be as nothing at all.
13 For I, the Lord your God,
    hold your right hand;
it is I who say to you, “Fear not,
    I am the one who helps you.”



He will NEVER  Leave US..

Isaiah 30

Do Not Go Down to Egypt

30 “Ah, stubborn children,” declares the Lord,
“who carry out a plan, but not mine,
and who make an alliance,[a] but not of my Spirit,
    that they may add sin to sin;
who set out to go down to Egypt,
    without asking for my direction,
to take refuge in the protection of Pharaoh
    and to seek shelter in the shadow of Egypt!
Therefore shall the protection of Pharaoh turn to your shame,
    and the shelter in the shadow of Egypt to your humiliation.
For though his officials are at Zoan
    and his envoys reach Hanes,
everyone comes to shame
    through a people that cannot profit them,
that brings neither help nor profit,
    but shame and disgrace.”

God will scatter His Enemies

Psalm 68 (English Standard Version)

Psalm 68

God Shall Scatter His Enemies

To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. A Song.

68  God shall arise, his enemies shall be scattered;
    and those who hate him shall flee before him!
As smoke is driven away, so you shall drive them away;
     as wax melts before fire,
    so the wicked shall perish before God!
But the righteous shall be glad;
    they shall exult before God;
    they shall be jubilant with joy!
Sing to God, sing praises to his name;
     lift up a song to him who rides through the deserts;
his name is the Lord;
    exult before him!
Father of the fatherless and protector of widows
    is God in his holy habitation.
God settles the solitary in a home;
    he leads out the prisoners to prosperity,
    but the rebellious dwell in a parched land.
O God, when you went out before your people,
     when you marched through the wilderness, Selah
the earth quaked, the heavens poured down rain,
    before God, the One of Sinai,
    before God, the God of Israel.
Rain in abundance, O God, you shed abroad;
    you restored your inheritance as it languished;
10 your flock[a] found a dwelling in it;
    in your goodness, O God, you provided for the needy.
11 The Lord gives the word;
     the women who announce the news are a great host:
12      “The kings of the armies—they flee, they flee!”
The women at home divide the spoil—
13     though you men lie among the sheepfolds—
the wings of a dove covered with silver,
    its pinions with shimmering gold.
14 When the Almighty scatters kings there,
    let snow fall on Zalmon.
15 O mountain of God, mountain of Bashan;
    O many-peaked[b] mountain, mountain of Bashan!
16 Why do you look with hatred, O many-peaked mountain,
    at the mount that God desired for his abode,
    yes, where the Lord will dwell forever?
17  The chariots of God are twice ten thousand,
    thousands upon thousands;
    the Lord is among them; Sinai is now in the sanctuary.
18  You ascended on high,
     leading a host of captives in your train
    and receiving gifts among men,
even among the rebellious, that the Lord God may dwell there.
19 Blessed be the Lord,
    who daily bears us up;
    God is our salvation. Selah
20 Our God is a God of salvation,
     and to God, the Lord, belong deliverances from death.
21  But God will strike the heads of his enemies,
    the hairy crown of him who walks in his guilty ways.
22 The Lord said,
    “I will bring them back from Bashan,
I will bring them back from the depths of the sea,
23 that you may strike your feet in their blood,
    that the tongues of your dogs may have their portion from the foe.”
24 Your procession is[c] seen, O God,
    the procession of my God, my King, into the sanctuary—
25  the singers in front, the musicians last,
    between them virgins playing tambourines:
26  “Bless God in the great congregation,
    the Lord, O you[d] who are of Israel's fountain!”
27 There is Benjamin, the least of them, in the lead,
    the princes of Judah in their throng,
    the princes of Zebulun, the princes of Naphtali.
28  Summon your power, O God,[e]
    the power, O God, by which you have worked for us.
29 Because of your temple at Jerusalem
    kings shall bear gifts to you.
30 Rebuke the beasts that dwell among the reeds,
    the herd of bulls with the calves of the peoples.
Trample underfoot those who lust after tribute;
    scatter the peoples who delight in war.[f]
31 Nobles shall come from Egypt;
     Cush shall hasten to stretch out her hands to God.
32  O kingdoms of the earth, sing to God;
    sing praises to the Lord, Selah
33 to him who rides in the heavens, the ancient heavens;
    behold, he sends out his voice, his mighty voice.
34  Ascribe power to God,
    whose majesty is over Israel,
    and whose power is in the skies.
35  Awesome is God from his[g] sanctuary;
    the God of Israel—he is the one who gives power and strength to his people.
Blessed be God!

March To Jerusalem

Note from Jan: I have been watching the media for this "global march" for many weeks. This is sinister. It is a foreshadowing of the prophecy of Zechariah 12 - 14 where we find Israel left all alone.  You cannot have "peace" with these people. Those coming against Jerusalem want only death and destruction. At the same time, the U.S. State Department does not want to acknowledge that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel. This action may be inviting chaos in America. I highly recommend FrontPage Magazine for news and information.

The Global March to Jerusalem

by David Solway on FrontPageMag
March 29, 2012

Once again, Israel is confronted by a major threat to its existence, namely, the so-called Global March to Jerusalem (GMJ) scheduled for March 30. It is organized by the usual suspects--the Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas, the swelling tribe of Ayatollah lovers, the devil's spawn of radical Leftists--whose intention is to mobilize a million people to breach Israel's borders and converge on Jerusalem. They are convinced that Israel will either find itself helpless before a "peaceful" onslaught of this magnitude or be forced to take action that would lead to a PR disaster. From their perspective, it's a win-win situation. One way or another, Israel would be gravely weakened and, according to an unlettered exchange between some of the event's organizers, "This will undermine the Israeli state...& the Zionist edifice which is unraveling as we speak, will soon fall."

A million unarmed zealots determined to challenge the Jewish state are by no means unarmed. They are enemy combatants armed with the sympathy of the international community and the propaganda weapon furnished by a world-wide anti-Zionist media. They know that Israel is bound to lose the propaganda war regardless of how it decides to respond. Islamic states do not suffer from a similar dilemma. After all, Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad has slaughtered over 9,000 of his own people in attempting to repress a popular uprising. But the GMJ organizers--including such well--known bigots as George Galloway, Reverend Jeremiah Wright and Archbishop Desmond Tutu, who sit on the advisory board--have little or nothing to say about this ongoing atrocity. Clearly, they are not eager to Occupy Damascus since they might actually get hurt. But Jerusalem is another matter. They will have the Israeli Left cheering them on and can bank on the reluctance of the IDF to apply lethal force.
   
The GMJ is also armed with a formidable body of outright lies and gross distortions that the radical Left, in concert with Islamofascist dogma, has adopted as doctrinal truth. The so-called Anti-Imperialist Camp, which supports the march, and the official  GMF website have listed the standard batch of falsifications as ideological ammunition for its adherents. Among the myths and libels enumerated in these venues, we learn:
  • that Palestinians are being expelled from Jerusalem, a claim refuted even by the Leftwing The Nation which recorded a 3% growth of Arab Jerusalemites compared to a mere 1% growth of the Holy City's Jewish residents. According to the  globalpost, the Arab population of Jerusalem has grown 209% since the Jordanian defeat in the 1967 war.
  • that 85% of Palestinian territory has been despoiled by "foreign settlers." Of course, the organizers are referring to Israel proper, oblivious to the fact that it was Israel that was robbed of 78% of its legally mandated territory, which became the artificially constructed Emirate of Transjordan.
  • that only Jewish citizens benefit from Israeli democracy, a lie so brazen that only the terminally brainwashed could believe it.
  • that Israel is in violation of international law--when it is Israel, and only Israel, that is in compliance with the League of Nations Mandate, the dispositions of the San Remo Conference, Article 80 of the UN Charter and UN Resolution 242, as well as the laws of war validating the results of the 1967 and 1973 hostilities.
  • that Jerusalem is the capital of Palestine, a contention that scurrilously negates several historically attested facts, for example, that there is no such country called Palestine, that a significant proportion of the Arab inhabitants of the contested area are not indigenous "Palestinians" but relative latecomers originating in Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, Iraq and North Africa, and that Jerusalem throughout history was the political and spiritual capital of the Jewish people. Indeed, Jews formed the majority of the city's population for much of the census-taking period, as is evident from such meticulously documented volumes as Mitchell Bard's  Myths and Facts and Joan Peters'  From Time Immemorial.
Buttressed by such fabrications, the GMJ has effectively declared war on Israel and has embarked on what is nothing less than a massive invasion of its sovereign territory. The email previously cited envisions a "human tide" of one million people now, but aims for five million "next time...& it will only grow from there." Obviously, this is war by another name, and Israel is being attacked with a view not only to inflict a humiliating defeat upon it but to eliminate it entirely from the roll-call of the world's nations. In essence, this is only a more "humane" version of the Iranian project to wipe Israel off the map.

Judaism is a life-affirming religion; unfortunately, in the world of practical affairs, it is all too often the life of its enemies that is affirmed. The IDF distributes leaflets advising its antagonists of impending operations, so as not to harm civilians. Jewish organizations engage in "dialogue" and "outreach" with those who are sworn to their extirpation. The Jewish Left promotes the boycotting of Israeli goods, agitates on behalf of the Palestinians and condemns the Jewish inhabitants of Judea and Samaria--Israel's ancient heartland--as colonialist "settlers." The Israeli ruling elite is prone to surrendering legitimately acquired land in exchange for illusory promises, exposing its citizens to ambushes, incursions and even short-range missile attacks in ever-contracting territory.

And now we have the proposed million-man march on Jerusalem. Of course, it is unlikely that the number is even remotely achievable, but let us assume for the sake of argument that it were. The question then poses itself. How should Israel react to the inundation of its capital by a million people swarming in from Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and Egypt? With water cannons? With the sonic boom of low-flying F-16s? With conciliatory rhetoric? With civilized debating points? With the keys to the city? Such expedients do not seem especially convincing.

Plainly, a workable means of deterrence to what is theoretically a significant menace to the continued existence of the Jewish state will have to be arrived at. In the face of the GMJ, no less than the genocidal policy of Iran, Israel will need to find some way of affirming itself for a change and ensuring the survival of its Jewish citizens.
