Lana Vawser: "I Am Preparing the Way for the New Day – You Will Occupy New Land" The Elijah List

Lana Vawser: "I Am Preparing the Way for the New Day – You Will Occupy New Land"

The Elijah List Jan 2, 2018
Steve ShultzFrom the desk of Steve Shultz:
Lana Vawser's latest article is full of prophetic revelation for this new year. I sure love hearing from God's prophetic voices during this time of year...as it helps us know His heart and sets a course for us.
You will not be disappointed as you read about fresh baptisms of fire, new Believers coming to Christ, us occupying new lands and much more!
Some have already said that 2018 would be an incredible year of Evangelism taking place...and that includes "all hands on deck" through us as Lana shares here:
I saw such a shift taking place across the Body of Christ in regards to evangelism. It wasn't just evangelists receiving an increase of fire and passion for the Gospel, but the Church was being awakened and without fear, loving people to life and sharing the beauty of the Gospel. Many would no longer be caged in fear of sharing the truth of Jesus, but will be so on fire with the revelation of the Gospel that they could not help but speak.
Read about this and much more...as God is also giving us new lands! (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

Baptisms of Fire
Recently, I've had a word burning in my heart that has been increasing in intensity. I feel this is a very important word for the Body of Christ right now. Then just this last week, I had a dream where the Lord showed me a baptism of fire, deeper than ever before. There is a fresh baptism of fire—the fire of His presence and His love—that has begun in the Church. It is about to increase significantly in intensity and momentum, and it's birthing a SYNERGY of Holy Spirit fire with a passion for the Gospel.
These baptisms of fire that are taking place now, and significantly increasing across the Body of Christ, are igniting and going to ignite the fire of evangelism. This fire is a deep revelation of the Cross and resurrection. It's going to spread the beautiful Gospel message within the Church in an explosive way.
I saw people within the Body of Christ so overwhelmed and burning with the revelation of the Gospel and the fire of His love. The perfect love of Jesus was going into the world as these ones shared the greatest love story ever told with a completely new and fresh fire.
"I felt His heart so strongly that He is awakening the Church to the foundational message of the Gospel..."
These baptisms of fire will so engulf His people in the well of the Gospel and take us into a whole new realm of being awed and filled with wonder at the simplicity and profundity of the Gospel. There is a divine re-engagement with the Gospel that will take place in this baptism of Holy Spirit fire, leading to deep wells of encounter.
This synergy I saw, of burning Holy Spirit fire for the Gospel, was so powerful. Believers were transformed, chains of fear in sharing the Gospel were gone and replaced with a new boldness and a bursting forth within the Church. The fire of His love that consumed God's people and flowed through them was so beautiful, transforming cultures and nations. The Bride was awake and alive in a way I had never seen.
Receive His Heart of Love for Those Who Don't Know Him Yet
The Lord is wanting to release a greater impartation of His heart to the Body of Christ for those who do not yet know Him. I saw life-changing encounters with Jesus happening all across the world, as the Lord began to ignite the fire of His love for those who don't know Him yet. The fire of His love and revelation of His heart were so powerful in these encounters, that it affected the way the Church would SEE.
As I saw these powerful encounters taking place, scales of judgment, criticism and accusation were falling off many of God's people. They began to SEE the world and those who do not know Him yet through His eyes.
This lead to a greater awakening of loving the down-and-out, the broken and the hurting, and seeing them as HE sees them. Believers all across the earth were being transformed by His heart of love for ALL people. I watched as the Church began arising in a whole new revelation of the love of Jesus and loving people to life. They were loving people toward the One who is the way, the truth and the life—our beautiful Jesus. (Photo via Pixabay)
"I AM Preparing the Way for the New Day"
I heard the Holy Spirit say, "I am preparing the way for the new day." Instantly the sense surrounded me of Bob Jones' prophetic word about the Billion-Soul Harvest. When I asked the Lord about how He was preparing the way, I heard Him say, "I am bringing a great awakening within the Church to the greatest gift and truth of all."
"For this is how much God loves the world – He gave His one and only Son as a gift, so now everyone who believes in Him will never perish but experience everlasting life." (John 3:16 The Passion Translation)
I felt His heart so strongly that He is awakening the Church to the foundational message of the Gospel—an incredible increase in synergy of burning Holy Spirit fire for the passion of the Gospel. A passion so strong that wherever His people go, day-to-day, they are awake more than ever before. They will carry the reality of eternity, burning with His love, and will see others as He sees them, sharing the Good News of Jesus and bringing transformation and reformation.
"I saw people within the Body of Christ so overwhelmed and burning with the revelation of the Gospel and the fire of His love."
I saw such a shift taking place across the Body of Christ in regards to evangelism. It wasn't just evangelists receiving an increase of fire and passion for the Gospel, but the Church was being awakened and without fear, loving people to life and sharing the beauty of the Gospel. Many would no longer be caged in fear of sharing the truth of Jesus, but will be so on fire with the revelation of the Gospel that they could not help but speak.
The Lord is bringing a great shift in the Church to prepare the Body of Christ to carry the huge harvest that is beginning across the earth.

Increase in the Burden to Pray for the Lost
These encounters will release burdens and evangelistic awareness. I saw the Spirit of God moving within the Body of Christ and increasing the revelation of eternity within the hearts of Believers, placing intercessory burdens upon hearts to pray and intercede for those who do not yet know Jesus. These weren't burdens of fear I saw, but an urgency and intensity. Many in the Body of Christ have been praying for years for people, and suddenly the burden was increasing. Others, I saw the Lord suddenly placing burdens on their hearts to pray for people. Others, were having dreams and receiving the heart of the Lord for people and waking up in a deep place of intercession.
The common theme in each encounter was the Lord releasing an increase of His heart and intensity of intercession, because many of these seeds are about to sprout! As these powerful intercessory burdens were being released and God's people partnered with Him in prayer, I saw many sudden conversions. Fish were jumping into the boat. The urgency wasn't a fearful thing, but was the encouragement of God saying, "Breakthrough and salvation for many is SO close."
There is a fresh baptism of fire coming. It's going to birth a synergy of Holy Spirit fire, stirring up a passion for the Gospel upon the Church. Position yourself before Him and ask for it. Cry out for it! Say "YES" to His invitation, because He wants to increase and release His heart to you to SEE as He sees, to LOVE as He loves, and to share the truth of the Gospel wherever you go. It's the greatest love story the world has ever known. (Photo via Wikimedia Commons)
Get ready to see John 3:16 burn within you like you have never known. Ask Him! Ask Him! He's releasing His heart.
"God did not send His Son into the world to judge and condemn the world, but to be its Savior and rescue it." (John 3:17, The Passion Translation)
You Are About to Occupy New Land
Just recently, I also had a burning within my spirit about the "EXTENSION of land" and the word "OCCUPY" was burning within me. Several nights ago, I heard the Lord say, "Get ready to OCCUPY new land." Then a few days later as I awoke, the Lord was speaking and burning in my spirit again about EXTENSION and OCCUPYING.
As I meditated upon this word, I felt the Lord saying that, "Many will find an ACCELERATION of occupying new land in 2018." The faithfulness of many stewarding the lands that God has given them are about to step into an extension of land, a promotion, and a reward of new land. No matter what is going on around you, the Lord is going to suddenly position you and increase the land He has called you to occupy. This is not something to fear, but something to REJOICE in.
I decree over you in the name of Jesus—that in this new land, you will see greater fruitfulness than you have ever seen. In this new land, you will see greater JOY than you have ever experienced. In this new land, you will experience greater ease in the anointing, refreshment in the spirit, and encounters with Jesus and His Word in a deeper way than before.
Many of you have been battling and fighting over the land that God has given you for SO long. In fact, you have been FIGHTING to MAINTAIN the land He has given you and fighting the opposition of the enemy. Get ready, get ready, for the EXTENSION has begun. You are transitioning and about to be catapulted into occupying MORE land than you imagined and it will be marked with JOY, PEACE and GREAT fruitfulness.
Your season has changed and now you will see BREAKTHROUGH at the HEART of this new land. The rain of His Spirit will fall so heavily in the new land and bring such life, refreshment and fruitfulness, and your eyes will see the faithfulness of God and the recompense of God exploding all around.
There's new land waiting for you! Get ready!
The new land you will occupy is MARKED with Isaiah 55:9-13:
"As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts. As the rain and the snow come down from Heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is My word that goes out from My mouth: It will not return to Me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.
You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and hills will burst into song before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands. Instead of the thornbush will grow the juniper, and instead of briers the myrtle will grow. This will be for the Lord's renown, for an everlasting sign, that will endure forever."
REJOICE! It's harvest time! He is positioning you for INCREASE for SUCH a time as this!

Rabbi vents his fury about Jesus and ONE FOR ISRAEL's evangelism


Dr Erez Soref President of  ONE FOR ISRAEL 
Shalom from Israel!

As the Word of Truth goes forth, so inevitably come the attacks. We know that we are in a battle, but we also know who has the victory!

"But thanks be to God, who in Messiah always leads us in triumphal procession, and through us reveals everywhere the aroma  of the knowledge of Himself. For we are the aroma of Messiah to God, among those who are being saved and those who are perishing - to the one an aroma from death to death, to the other an aroma from life to life." (2 Cor 2:14-15)

Here is a short video showing one rabbi who is furious about how far our evangelism is reaching, along with our response from Moti and Eitan, click photo to watch:


Meanwhile, the gospel is advancing, and Jewish people keep on coming into the Kingdom...

Eitan writes, "Here is (a part of) a message that I just received from a girl in her early 20s:

"Shalom, I am writing to you because I came to the conclusion that Yeshua is the Messiah. 

So I got in touch with Rabbi Daniel Asur to be sure of my decision. I our meeting he told me that in one of his meetings with Eitan and Moti, Moti got upset and hit him. I am reluctant to believe him. So I am asking you if that's true?"

The rabbis just don't know what to do with us anymore, so they lie, make up stories, incite against us in videos... I feel we are about to enter some interesting times here in Israel."

Why Mexicans Are Making a Mass Exodus From Catholicism - CBN NEWS CHARISMA MAGAZINE

Why Mexicans Are Making a Mass Exodus From Catholicism

Join us on our podcast each weekday for an interesting story, well told, from Charisma News. Listen at charismapodcastnetwork.com.

Pope Francis is visiting Mexico, a country that has been a stronghold of Catholicism for centuries. But a growing number of Mexicans are leaving the Catholic faith, and the pope is hoping to use his visit to convince them to stay faithful to the church.
Sara Granados is among those who have left the faith. She was born into a devout Catholic family, and by 17 she had already fulfilled all the required religious rites. But soon she realized that wasn't getting her closer to God.
"After 17 years old, I still had emptiness in my heart," Sara explained. "I had no desire to live and for me, it was better to die than to live. A friend of my mother told me, 'I'm taking you to this place.' She never mentioned church, but she brought me to church. That day the pastor was preaching and he said a word that touched my heart."
Thousands of Mexicans like Sara are embracing evangelical Christianity.
In 1970, 96 percent of Mexicans claimed to be Catholic. According to a 2010 Mexican national census, that figure has dropped to less than 85 percent.
One reason for the decline? Evangelicals leaders are spiritually closer to their flock.
Surveys have found an average of one Catholic priest for every 6,000 Catholics in Mexico, compared to one evangelical pastor for every 200 followers.
"The work of the evangelical Christian church in evangelism has been successful in past few decades. Many have come to hear a different message that brings peace, harmony, blessing, and salvation to human beings," Pastor Benjamin Lomeli of Iglesia El Buen explained.
Other reasons Mexicans have left Catholicism include evangelical outreach and the tarnished image of the Catholic Church.
Catholic Church spokesman Father Jose de Jesus told CBN News that Catholic Church leaders "... must recognize that certain scandals have caused many to be disappointed by the church and to seek a different spirituality."
With a record number of people here now embracing evangelical Christianity, Pope Francis is hoping his visit will re-energize his flock and keep Mexicans faithful to the Catholic Church.

Sid Roth: The Harvest is Ripe in Israel




Why are Christians not leading Jewish people to Jesus?
Many believers have been misled by a spirit of deception. They have been told that a Jew who follows the old covenant is accepted by God without Jesus—so why witness to them?
Paul gives the definitive answer in Acts 4:12, "There is no salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved."
Most Jewish people have been deceived as well. From childhood we are told or it is implied that we cannot believe in Jesus and remain Jewish. We are told this by the Jewish community as well as the church.
Even a Jewish atheist has a desire to remain Jewish. Why? When we Jewish people were scattered to the four corners of the earth and eventually persecuted by our chosen nation of refuge as the Bible predicted in Deuteronomy 28, God had to devise a plan for those who survived.
God put His entire reputation on the line when He guaranteed that as long as there were waves, sun, moon and stars, there would be Jewish people on the earth (Jer. 31:35-36). The Jewish people lost their country, their temple and were murdered or had to flee for their lives for nearly 2,000 years. Any Jews who survived all of this should have assimilated into other religions long ago.
What is the secret of how God kept us as a distinct people? He put an instinct within us that says, "I was born a Jew and I will die a Jew." The majority of Jews—even a secular Jew who never sets foot in a synagogue—still identify as being a Jew.
So when a well-meaning Christian says, "You must convert to Christianity," what a Jew hears is: "You must stop being Jewish." This goes against our God-given instinct for Jewish survival.
The word "Christian" means "one of the Messiah's." By that definition, I am a Christian. But by Christian and Jewish usage it has come to mean "no longer Jewish." I cannot go against my God-given instinct. Instead, I refer to myself as a Jewish believer in Jesus as Messiah.
Why was it so important to God that the Jews remain a distinct people? We know the Jewish people were chosen to evangelize the Gentiles and did a great job at the first coming of Jesus. But the gifts and calling of God are without repentance. And God has chosen the Jewish people to evangelize the Gentiles just before Messiah's return.
When will this happen? At the "fullness of the Gentiles."
The 'Fullness of the Gentiles'
Every Gentile believer must understand the term, "the fullness of the Gentiles." As a new believer in Jesus, I was taught this referred to the time when all the Gentiles who were going to be saved had been saved and then God would bring about the salvation of Israel. But that never made sense to me because, even during the Tribulation, both Jews and Gentiles will be saved.
Then God showed me clearly the meaning of "the fullness of the Gentiles." As I studied the Bible, I found clues to know when this would take place. Luke 21:24 says, "They (the Jewish people) will fall by the edge of the sword and will be led away captive to all nations. And Jerusalem will be trampled on by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled." On June 7, 1967, Jerusalem was once again in Jewish possession! But God said we must look for one more thing.
In Romans 11:25-26, Paul writes, "For a partial hardening has come upon Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. And so all Israel will be saved ... ." The key to this mystery is found in two places in these verses. First, Israel would be judicially blinded to the gospel in part. In other words, a remnant of Israel would be saved, but most would be blinded until this judgment was over.
How can we know when the judgment of blindness is over? The obvious answer is when we see large numbers of Jewish people turning to Jesus. We see this happen in our recent outreaches in Israel! But why now and not in 1967?
The second part of the answer is found in the meaning of the Greek word for "fullness." It can be translated "maturity." In other words, when the Gentile believers are mature in their biblical understanding of the Jew, Israel and the supernatural, Jews will be saved in larger numbers until "all Israel will be saved" (Rom. 11:26). The call of the Gentile is to evangelize the Jew. Paul states in Romans 11:11, "I say then, have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid! But through their transgression, salvation has come to the Gentiles—to make them jealous."
I feel like a type of John the Baptist crying in the wilderness that the judicial judgment for the sin of spiritual blindness is over, and it's time for the Jew to come home—home to Israel and home to God.
Isaiah 40:2 says, "Speak kindly to Jerusalem, and cry to her that her warfare has ended, that her iniquity has been pardoned, that she has received of the hand of the Lord double for all her sins."
No Longer Future but Now!
The spiritual blindness judgment is over! We Jewish people are now open to the gospel for the first time in almost 2,000 years. But Paul nails the problem in Romans 10:14, when he says: "How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?"
Until the spiritual judgment ended, the best a Christian could do was have "Bless Israel" meetings without evangelism, give toward the return of Jews to Israel or supply humanitarian aid. And God knows we still need all of these.
But I want to shout it from the rooftops—the spiritual scales are off, the curse is over, and Jewish people are now open to the gospel! But even though we are ready to receive the Lord, our minds are still programmed with the lie that says, "You can't be Jewish and believe in Jesus." The only way to do a "mind bypass" around our intellectual arguments is through a demonstration of signs and wonders. As Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 1:22, "For Jews request a sign."
Last year, I led an evangelistic meeting in Jerusalem I called a "Lecture on the Supernatural." I promised that many who attended would be healed in their seats. The auditorium was jam-packed with 550 unsaved Jews. Many were instantly healed, and the majority stood up and prayed a prayer of salvation. This year I went back and held another outreach with 650 unsaved Jews in attendance. A total of 98 percent boldly stood up and prayed with me to receive Jesus as Messiah!
I have done these lectures all over the world, including Brazil, Germany, the United States and the former Soviet Union, with similar results. Why? Because I approach the Jew the biblical way, not with wisdom and clever words of men, but like Paul said in 1 Corinthians 2:4-5, "And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God."
Just like Paul, when I demonstrate God's kingdom through signs and wonders, I earn the right to present the King! When people are instantly healed, it is as if the spiritual scales come off and they are open to the gospel.
The Law of Evangelism
As we reach out to the Jewish people with the Good News, we activate what I call the "Law of Evangelism." When God called the first Jew, Abraham, it was with a heart to reach the rest of the world—the Gentiles. When Jesus wanted to reach the whole world, He said He went only (or went first) to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
Again, this was a spiritual seed to reach the whole world. When Paul, the apostle to the Gentiles, wanted to reach his prize, he went to the Jew first (Rom. 1:16). "To the Jew first" is not just God's historical order for evangelism. It is His spiritual order, and it produces supernatural results.
My desire is to evangelize all people. When I go to the Jew first, I supernaturally reach more Gentiles than if I go to the Gentile first. One example is my evangelistic outreach in Kaifeng, China. I learned that Jewish silk traders had settled in Kaifeng centuries ago. Before leading an outreach, I went to Kaifeng to "spy out the land." I found the remnants of an ancient synagogue as well as a number of Chinese-Jewish descendants and a Jewish museum.
The director of the museum asked me why I wanted to bring a tour group and hold a meeting there. I asked him to open his Jewish Bible to Isaiah 49:12. It read in his Chinese language: "Surely these shall come from afar; Look! Those from the north and the west, and these from the land of Sinim." But in his Bible it did not say "Sinim." It said the real meaning of the word: "China."
Isaiah was saying that in the last days, Jews from China would return to Israel! How did Isaiah know there would be a nation of Israel in the last days? And even more amazing, how did he know there would be such a thing as Chinese Jews? The answer is simple. God dictated the prophecy, and Isaiah was being a good Jewish secretary!
I returned to Kaifeng with a group of believers, and we evangelized the Chinese Jews. I later learned that one of the Kaifeng Jews I led to the Lord immigrated to Israel just as Isaiah prophesied. My visit also triggered the Law of Evangelism. When I went to the Jew first in China, God spread my message about Jesus to that entire city. People actually recognized me on the streets from seeing me on local television. This would never have happened unless I went to the Jew first.
The Law of Evangelism is very important to God. Paul tells us in Romans 11:12, "Now if their (the Jewish people) transgression means riches for the world, and their failure means riches for the Gentiles, how much more will their fullness mean?" The fullness, or maturity, of the Jews will culminate one day. According to Romans 11:15, "For if their (the Jewish people's) being cast away is the reconciling of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?" As the Jewish people are restored to the body of Messiah, they will restore literal resurrection-from-the-dead power to the church. Get ready to witness the release of creative miracles in large numbers not seen since Bible days!
Better yet, the salvation of the Jewish people will usher in the return of Jesus. In Matthew 23:39, Jesus said to the Jewish people, "For I tell you, you shall not see Me again until you say, 'Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.'"
The restoration of the Jewish people to the body of Messiah will be the catalyst to release the greatest Gentile revival in history. The prophet Amos predicted this. He said that when the tabernacle of David is restored, it would usher in such a great Gentile revival that there would be more fruit than we had laborers to harvest it. What is the tabernacle of David? The word for "tabernacle" in Hebrew means "house" or "family."
Who is the family of David? The Jewish people! When the Jewish people are restored to God, this is what will happen according to Amos 9:13: "Indeed, the days are coming, says the Lord, when the plowman will overtake the one who is reaping, and the treader of grapes the ones who is sowing the seed ... ." And what will be the result of the initial Jewish harvest? God promises in Isaiah 27:6, "Israel shall blossom and bud and shall fill the whole world with fruit."
It is past time for the "fullness of the Gentiles." It is the Gentile Christians' finest hour. I appeal to you as Mordecai appealed to Esther: "For if you remain silent at this time, protection and deliverance for the Jews will be ordained from some other place, but you and your father's house shall be destroyed. And who knows if you may have attained royal position for such a time as this?" (Esth. 4:14).
The Jewish Express
A friend of mine, Penny Lea, was speaking at a pro-life meeting when she was approached by an elderly German man. He told her about an event that happened when he was a youth in Germany that continued to haunt him. As a child, he would attend church with his family every Sunday. During worship, a train would pass by on the tracks next to the church. As the church members sang, they could hear people on the trains shouting, crying and wailing. These were Jewish people jammed into cattle cars being taken to the gas chambers to be murdered. When the cries became too objectionable and loud, the pastor said, "Sing a little louder!" The young boy was now an elderly man, but the screams were with him every night.
Now I want to tell you about another train. It is called the "Jewish Express." It will stop in cities all over the world. Why? Because the Jewish people were scattered to the four corners of the earth. Jews are lining up at the "train stations." They board the train by receiving Jesus as Messiah. The Jewish people waiting to board are increasing, but few are telling them about Jesus. The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few.
The Jewish person God has placed in your life is not an accident. You are the one who has that Jewish friend or former classmate. You are the one who knows a Jewish doctor, lawyer, dentist or merchant. You are the one chosen by God to evangelize them.
You may feel like you are not equipped to witness to a Jew. This is why I wrote a booklet I want to give you as a gift on how to reach the Jewish people. I draw on my more than 40 years of experience in Jewish evangelism, and now I want to pour it into you. Please visit sidroth.org/free to get your free copy of The Mystery Law of Evangelism Revealed.
Israel Ablaze for Jesus
I have a vision. I see Israel ablaze for Jesus! I see people going to Israel not just for tours, but to get under the 24/7 cloud of glory. I see many new Jewish believers boarding the Jewish Express train as modern-day Paul the apostles. I see Orthodox rabbis boarding who will be the greatest Bible teachers since Jesus. I see Jewish businessmen boarding the train who will make Christianity the head and not the tail. I see Jewish Hollywood movie stars, producers and directors who will use the entertainment industry to evangelize the world. Can't you hear the whistle blowing?
The devil knows his time is short. The world is quickly turning anti-Jewish and anti-Israel. Will you "sing a little louder?" Or will you be like Queen Esther and boldly stand up for the Jewish people?
You have been called to the kingdom for such a time as this. Esther (the church), as you rise up to evangelize the Jew, no matter how dark the world gets, the glory of God and the blessings of Abraham will overtake you. Those who give to Jewish humanitarian causes and participate in "Bless Israel" meetings have found this to be true. But if God will bless you for this according to Genesis 12:3, how much more will He bless you for Jewish evangelism at the fullness of the Gentiles?
The only thing we take to heaven is souls! It's time to be "mature" and enter the great Jewish harvest that will catapult us into the greatest Gentile harvest in history!
"Arise, shine; for your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you. For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and deep darkness the people; but the Lord will arise over you, and His glory will be seen upon you" (Is. 60:1-2).

Heart Growing Cold? - Now Think On This by Steve Martin

Heart Growing Cold?
- Now Think On This
by Steve Martin


“At that time many will be trapped into betraying and hating each other, many false prophets will appear and fool many people; and many people’s love will grow cold because of increased distance from Torah. But whoever holds out till the end will be delivered. And this Good News about the Kingdom will be announced throughout the whole world as a witness to all the Goyim. It is then that the end will come.” (Matt 24:10-14 Complete Jewish Bible)


Murderous evil has become rampant – beheadings, burnings, torture, rape and killings. So much martyrdom is occurring daily in several nations, as the evil one pours out his wrath on the believers of Jesus (Yeshua) and those of the Chosen Ones. Captured as prisoners, tortured for their faith in the only True God; refusing to bow down to the false god – our brothers and sisters are being slaughtered for standing for truth.

As some would watch this daily news, is it possible that hearts are growing cold, replacing the fire that once burned within, and turning their love away? Is it possible that many people’s love would indeed grow cold, as Jesus prophesied 2000 years ago, and not hold onto the end? Yes it is.

Turning away from the truth, out of growing fear, promises that seem to have been forgotten, or just plain lack of anymore concern and compassion are sweeping across the nations in the hearts of those who once called themselves Christians. Leaving churches, quitting daily reading of the Word and dismissing the need to maintain a prayer life are causing once strong believers to betray, abandon and even hate the ones they had walked with in harmony in years gone by. Is this another sign of the end? Yes it is.

As the heat has been turned up, the frog in the slowly increased temperature of the water has become unaware of his true surroundings. As such, an ongoing lack of discernment and a displaced knowledge of foundational truths have left many behind, when the time to stand strong is needed all the more, at the most vital time in all history.

“…and many people’s love will grow cold because of increased distance from Torah.” (Matt. 24:12 CJB). As pastors, rabbis and spiritual leaders increasingly exchange the eternal truth found in the Scriptures for the lies of the current age, standards have fallen to their lowest levels. Nothing remains black and white, as replacement theology and the belief that anything and everything is OK has blinded the eyes that once had seen the light.

Biblical marriage (one man and one woman), love for our unborn children, a firm grasp of solid commitment to the Lord’s principles, and maintaining a strong support for Israel and the Jewish right to the Promised Land – these have all fallen by the wayside as the deceptive spiritual cloud slowly blankets the people. Many false prophets have appeared and fooled the people – even beginning in the church, as liberal, unholy doctrines and Chrislam, among other lies, have taken root.

“But the one who endures to the end, he will be saved.  This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.” (Matt. 24:13-14 NASU)

We who know the Truth, who have called upon the Name of the Lord Jesus, Yeshua HaMashiach, must endure to the end. By the grace available to us through His blood and Resurrected Life, we can be among those who do stand until the end, proclaiming the truth of the Good News and bringing a testimony to all the nations. As the dark gets darker, surely the light will shine brighter in these days that we live in.

We must not let our hearts grow cold. These times are not for the faint of heart, but for the warriors who have been given life to share His love in the dying world.
