[SIGN] Power for 2017 "Closing the Divide" - Morris Ruddick

[SIGN] Power for 2017

Closing the Divide 


By Morris Ruddick on Sep 29, 2017 
Self-sufficiency is the strategy necessary for the community of God’s people to survive as a culture within a culture. The temptation over the years has been to “be like everyone else” and to assimilate. Self-sufficiency within the household of faith is what protects us from being like everyone else and as a people of God, losing our identity by being absorbed and assimilated.

To accomplish this goal requires big thinking and unity and maturity within the community of believers. It calls for the full biblical practice of righteousness, of tz’dakah, which is operational community generosity and responsibility. It goes back to the practice of not just feeding the poor but giving a helping hand to the poor -- teaching them to fish so to speak rather than just feeding them and making them dependent on you. That is why independent businesses among God’s people is so important.

What If You Could Ask God Any Question, And He Would Answer? - Rick Joyner DVD series - MorningStar Ministries


MorningStar Ministries 








What if you could ask God any question, and He would answer?

In this new DVD series called "God's Storm Chasers," Rick Joyner shares two prophetic encounters with the Lord as he recounts a 900 mile motorcycle trip in which he asked the Lord questions and the Lord answered them all. Rick also shares his experience of being in heaven for eight hours and how God used natural things to reveal supernatural understanding. 
This series includes 2 DVDs with 7 messages, including:
  • Sons are Priceless
  • There is a High Calling
  • The Key to Eternal Joy
  • True Spiritual Authority
  • Facing the Storms
  • and more!

You will learn how to use prophetic experiences and the Scriptures for "meat in due season." The MorningStar mandate is to provide the household of faith with the highest quality spiritual food at the right time.

Listen to Rick as he starts this series by saying: "Next to the message of understanding that Christ is the Son of God . . . this message may be one of the most important you could hear."

“Alone and Lonely” - Ahava Love Letter (Steve Martin)

                   

          “Alone and Lonely” 


“Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.” Gal. 6:10 (NKJV)


Dear family of friends,

It was early on a Thursday morning as I walked the main street in uptown Charlotte. The sun hadn’t risen as yet. Hardly a car, or human, was up at this hour. Being I had a part to play in a Thanksgiving/Christmas festival event, I parked my car and walked the few blocks needed to get there. The cold night was biting my uncovered face. At least I had our warm bed for a few hours prior to getting out and coming here.

Sitting on a metal street bench, across the eerily quiet, dark street at this hour, was a figure slouched over, under a layer or two of ragged blankets. I didn’t know if it was a man or a woman. They had to be really uncomfortable. These benches were constructed in such a way as to prevent any prone position sleeping, at any hour of the day or night. Beside them was a bag stuffed with their entire worldly possessions.

Knowing that the 22 F temperature was only adding pain to what must be a terrible way to live, I said a quick prayer of mercy for them. But I didn’t know what else to do, and having little money in my pocket, I kept walking.

(The Charlotte Rescue Mission, where I have worked at, is not far from the grandiose Charlotte Panthers football stadium from which I now hurried in the opposite direction. They do a great job in helping those in need of “two hots and a cot.” They also provide recovery assistance from drug addiction, getting people back on their feet. But that person may not have been aware of that help. As for now, “Lord, help them,” was all I did, and kept moving on.)

During holiday seasons my heart especially goes out to those who are alone and lonely. Personally, I have always had family and friends, but I have also known the ache and discouragement that others feel at times, increasingly around these times. Depression, despair, and destitution can crush the human heart. Having the hurt from lack of love, expressed in a caring way, takes its toll on the spirit in man.

So what do we do? What can we do?


 Yeshua (Jesus) showed us the way. He came that we might have life, and have it abundantly. These are not just nice words that sound good in a Sunday sermon, shared by an over zealous speaker. This can be reality in each of our lives. Hope can always spring forth in our hearts, for He knows of the pain, the hurt, the rejection. He experienced it when He came the first time. That is why He came. He gives life and ongoing hope always.

During the festival and holiday seasons, we are made more aware of those needing our help, and many will ask you for help. Do as you can. Maybe even do more than you normally would.

But remember that salvation is of the Jews, and our first command in assistance is to the “household of faith,” as we are instructed again in Galatians 6:10, “So then, while we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, and especially to those who are of the household of the faith.” My understanding of this verse is that the household of faith, in Israel, are the Messianic Jews. They are the ones who have received Yeshua (Jesus) as the Messiah, and are also part of the Church Body, the One New Man. We have been grafted in among them.

But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive, were grafted in among them and became partaker with them of the rich root of the olive tree, do not be arrogant toward the branches. But if you are arrogant, remember that it is not you who supports the root, but the root supports you.” (Rom. 11:17 NASU)

We have a debt to the Jews. They gave us the Bible. They gave us the prophets. They gave us our Savior, the Messiah Yeshua. We have an opportunity to now give back, and bless the believers among them.

This isn’t an Ahava Love Letter appeal, but it is an opportunity reminder, to share with you that we do send monthly support to Messianic Jewish believing family of friends, in Israel in particular, and in the USA. They are of the household of faith.

The ones we regularly support include Heart of G-d Ministries, Christian Friends of Israel in Jerusalem, Israel Media Ministries, and Christians for Messiah Ministries.

Please remember Love For His People, Inc. in your regular and year end giving.

"Israel Support for the Household of the Faith" - Ahava Love Letter (Steve Martin)


“Israel Support for the Household of Faith” 


 “So then, while we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, and especially to those who are of the household of the faith.” Gal. 6:10 NASU

Dear family of friends,

Since the founding of Love For His People, Inc. was established in the spring of 2010, our main focus and effort has been to bless the people of Israel, in both practical and spiritual ways. We have been called to be ones who stand for the Lord’s purposes in His Promised Land. Our voice, spoken through written social media and public events, has daily proclaimed that.

Having been to Israel 10 times since 1988, our connections in Eretz Yisrael (the land of Israel) have been strengthened, especially with Jewish believers. Friendships have been built. Encouraging them face to face continues. With our annual Ahava Adventures fall trips to Jerusalem and the cities beyond, we can see the Lord Yeshua’s (Jesus’) will being accomplished, first hand.

Several of you have been to Israel. Many more would love to go. My prayer is that your heart’s desire, which the Lord Himself placed within yours, will come about. And when you go, I want you to meet these whom we love. So you can too.

When the nations increasingly turn their backs on the people of Israel, we proclaim that our stand for them and their families remains stronger than ever. As we push forward in proclaiming the eternal purposes of the Lord Yeshua for His Land, our strength and encouragement He gives through us grows daily. We know what His Word says. We are committed to standing on that solid ground.

Please consider sharing a portion of your regular giving also to the work of Love For His People. The monthly financial support of four families in Israel through this ministry has been ongoing these first three years of our existence. One family of six (with another on the way!) receives a $200 a month gift from this ministry. Another work there received $100 monthly to help supply lunch food for school kids in the poverty districts. We know others who could and should be blessed with yours and our support.

Love For His People does not have a paid staff. Those who do the work you have seen on the social media have secular jobs to fund what has thus far been accomplished. We ask you to be a part of sowing into this good field. It is a good work.

There are many ways you can send your contribution today. They are listed below.

Thank you. Eternity will know of your heart’s love for His people, and even today.

Ahava to my family of friends,

Steve Martin
Founder/President
