I Am Releasing My Glory Through Rough, Unpolished Diamonds In The Earth - Bill Yount

                                Rough and Uncut, finished diamonds


I Am Releasing My Glory

Through Rough, Unpolished Diamonds In The Earth


Posted: 25 Oct 2015  BILL YOUNT


Diamonds In The Rough Are Rising In Demand In The Jewelry Market and In God's Kingdom.



I read an article published by The Wall Street Journal with the title, "'Rough' diamonds -- some looking more like gravel than gems -- edge into the jewelry market." Here are some excerpts taken from that article, "A new look in diamond jewelry is on the rise...Known as rough diamonds, these are the stones in their natural state, before they've been cut with the facets that give diamonds the sparkle, brilliance and clarity they are known for...Luxury consumers are maturing "beyond the 'look at me' phase." 


As I read this article I sensed the Father saying, "I'll buy that. Many of My people have hindered My glory from moving throughout the earth. They have become enamored with perfection, waiting to be cut just perfectly before they think the world will see Me in them. Many have become like diamonds waiting to be cut and polished until no earthly resemblance is left in them. Many then get stranded inside of My house thinking if they go into the world, something earthly could stain and cause My shine to fade."


"But now, I am releasing My glory into the earth as I release My diamonds in the rough. Many of these vessels who seem more 'earthy' than others will begin to shine even brighter as My glory pierces through these cracked and seemingly broken vessels. The defects in some earthen vessels will actually give way to more of My glory shining through them."



The most valuable fine cut diamonds in the world can only be seen in museums under lock and key and can never be touched by human hands. Diamonds in the "rough" can turn up anywhere and can be touched by anyone. Be careful who you think has a lot of earth left in them after they are redeemed...there may be a larger diamond under all that earth!



2 Corinthians 4:7, "If you only look at us, you might well miss the brightness. We carry this precious Message around in the unadorned clay pots of our ordinary lives. That's to prevent anyone from confusing God's incomparable power with us. As it is, there's not much chance of that. You know for yourselves that we're not much to look at..." ( Message Bible )

Sharing Love From Sweden - GOD HAS NOT REJECTED THE JEWS by Eva Haglund


Shalom Steve!

I have been  thinking of  the Jewish people  and send you what I wrote.

Some trees here have begin to become green and some flowers comes up  so I take  photos. Sometimes you see deer close. They are  beautiful!

Many blessings and greetings from Sweden!

Eva



GOD HAS NOT REJECTED THE JEWS


I wanted to write about the Jews because anti-semitism is increasing and we as Christians need to make our voices heard. When anti-semitism increases God's love to the Jewish people remains eternal.

When people are against Israel Yeshua, the Lion of Judah, we know Who fights for Israel. The Lion is strong and has authority. God keep His promises to the Jewish people in the Bible. God told Abraham to look at the stars in Genesis 15:5 he heard the number for stars.



As God counts all stars He can count all people. I believe we are like stars before Him. I am thinking of a symbol for a human being as a star. As He calls each star by name He calls us each by name. He see all people and all Jews. Every time Abraham looked at the stars he could think of the promise God gave him. When we look at the stars we can think about that. As long as the stars are above us God's promises to the Jews remain. God told Abraham to look at the stars and we can do. In Rev.22.16 is written that Yeshua is the Morningstar.

The state of Israel will remain and He loves the chosen people so much! God do not reject the Jews when there are some people who do. Israel, His people, are so precious for Him like a precious lamb for a shepherd or like a child a parent loves very much. God has not abandoned the Jews but God has done everything for the Jews. He gave his Son.



In Isaiah 53:7 is written about Yeshua that " He was led as a lamb to the slaughter." Our heavenly Daddy's heart was crushed for the Jews whom He appeared to first.He was willing to do everything for the Jews so He sent His Son to die for them.



Would He reject this people? No, He does not! In Rom.11:1 Paul says, "I say then ,has God cast away His people? Certainly not! For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin."

Paul did not deny that he was a Messianic Jew. I also think he kept the Jewish feasts as I think it is a blessing to keep for all people. Also for Christians who are not Jewish to keep His feasts.

The Jewish people are like a treasure for God. They are like a golden necklace for Him with diamonds in His hand. He do not reject the Jewish people.

In the newspapers we could read about a big heart as birds created in the air in Israel this year. God sent birds to create a heart to show that He loved the Jewish people when people wrote that anti-semitism had increased.

Yeshua loves the Jews so much and in His name is eternal salvation.

John. 3:16, "For so God loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life."

ISRAEL - PRECIOUS LIKE A CHILD

Israel is amazing like a star.
Israel is beautiful like a  rose.
Israel is  like a golden necklace  
with diamonds for God.
Israel is like a fragrant garden 
with fruit trees.
Israel is like a vineyard 
with grapes looking like precious stones.
Israel is like a precious lamb 
for a shepherd
or like a child a parent loves so deep.
God loves Israel!

Isaiah 62:3, Isaiah.40:11

Sharing Love from Sweden by Eva Haglund - WOMEN PRECIOUS FOR GOD



March 12, 2013

WOMEN - PRECIOUS  FOR GOD

For me it it feels important to celebrate the International Women Day to to think about woman and about their situation in the world. For me it feels important to celebrate it also because today many women are bad treated in the world today.

Women are bad treated  in different ways. They are not treated as they have the same value  as men sometimes . There are men who trample on them.  Some men think they are above. Some men are hard on women and force them to do things with a hard heart and with no respect for the woman. 

This is not how God looks at women. In Song of Solomon we can see how a husband ought look at his wife  and not trample at her. For instance, in Song of Solomon we can read that the bridegroom says in chapter 2:2 that his bride is in his eyes like a lily among thorns.
You can also see how God sees a woman in Song on Solomon. He looks at them with love and does not look down at them and think they have less value than a man.

Some congregations do not understand the value of women. God can use women as much as He can use men. God also needs women to preach today. Some leaders do not understand this but this is also how God wants to use women. 

Today we need voices in the world saying things. I think God can use whoever He wants in the Body of Christ to stand up for Him and to do His will and He can use women. Women are precious in God`s eyes. They need to know their value. God loves women. 

A women is like a precious diamond in his hand and he do not want any to trample on this diamond!  In the bible we can read read about in Genesis 29 that Jacob loved Rachel more than Leah . She was blind and he looked down on her and did not love her. 

But we can read that God saw this and did not like this and in Genesis 29:31 is written. "When the Lord saw that Leah was unloved he, he opened her womb, but Rachel was barren." God do not like when women are bad treated we can see here. God loves the woman as much as He loves men an he want them to be respected and loved by men.

I believe however not in bitterness but in forgiveness if anyone has been bad treated. Jesus said in deepest pain - in a pain we do not understand at the cross - "Father forgive them" In Gal.3 : 28 is the words:  "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female for you are all one in Christ."

Here we can read that male and women are one in Christ and then they ought to be treated as this in Body of Christ. They are not always treated so because not all understand this. In Esther we can see that God used a woman to save her people. She was brave and was willing to risk her life to save her people.

She was a brave women and was used great by God. God chose to use a woman to save
all the people and He can also use woman strong today. When men learn to know God they can learn to treat women well because He is love and women are precious for Him.

Isaiah.43:4 it says how God look at woman. "Since you were precious in My sight , you have been honored, And I have loved you."

I think God wants men and women to be one in Christ standing together. And God need women today.

Eva Haglund.


WOMEN ARE LIKE PRECIOUS DIAMONDS IN GOD`S EYES!

Jewelry - Making in the Holy Land

Posted: 07 Jun 2013 08:37 AM PDT
Assembling rings (circa 1925, Cigarbox collection)
Jewels were always the currency of travelers.  Gemstones were more reliable than currency and lighter than gold bullion. Even today, some investors are smitten with a "refugee mentality," financial experts recently told The Wall Street Journal. "If the world gets a computer virus," one explained, "and suddenly you need to move $10 million in 48 hours, gold will set off metal detectors and too much cash gets cumbersome, but you slip on a $5 million ring and a $5 million necklace and you've got no problems."

Tragically, that scenario repeated itself  throughout Jewish history.  According to some accounts, prior to the expulsion of Jews from Spain in 1492 a rumor spread that many Jews swallowed diamonds and gold in order to take their wealth with them. Thieves killed many and sliced open their stomachs in their search for treasure.  The Holocaust is fraught with tales of Jews attempting to use gems to buy their escape.

Since the 15th century, diamond cutting was a traditional Jewish craft,Wikipedia reports. That's when a Jewish diamond cutter in Belgium invented the scaif, an essential tool for polishing.  The first diamond polishing plant was opened in a Jewish town in Eretz Yisrael by Dutch refugee experts. By 1944 the industry employed 3,300 workers in 33 factories in Palestine.

Today, Israel is one of the world centers for preparation and sale of diamonds.
