“Love For His People in the Land”
"He chose the Promised Land as our
inheritance,
the proud possession of Jacob's
descendants, whom he loves.”
Psalm 47:4 Holy Bible, New Living
Translation
(Note: I wrote this Ahava Love Letter in
Jerusalem on Nov. 10, 2013, the day on which I completed my 11th trip to Israel
since 1991. Absolutely more to come!)
Dear family of friends,
Our last full day in the Land of Israel is
complete. We will be homeward bound to Charlotte,NC until our return for next
year’s Ahava Adventure, with our ministry called Love For His People. This
whole land, which has been promised to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and their Jewish
descendants, is beautiful. And more importantly are the people who live
here,those whom are the heirs to this land called Eretz Yisrael in Hebrew.
My heart loves being among the Israelis.
My Lord Jesus (Yeshua) placed His heart for His brethren, especially the Jews,
in mine over 40 years ago. How could I not love His people?!
Our commitment to our friends here, fleshed out also in practical means through our humanitarian work of <a>Love For His People, Inc.</a> has gotten stronger. Enjoying meals with them; standing with them for their rightful place here as we encourage them with our presence; and meeting new friends has been great. We are so thankful to Yeshua HaMashiach for this.

On the other hand, I get so tired of the
political maneuvering that goes on among the nations over this small land.
Nation after nation is always calling for its division, when the Jewish state
is itself so small when compared to the other Middle Eastern countries
surrounding it. (New Jersey is the same size as that of all of Israel. What
gives?)
My own country seems to like to take the
lead in this effort, which grieves my heart at some points, and makes me angry
at many other times. Trying to divide the land promised to the Jews will only
bring curses on these governments own people. The Lord God of Israel will not
allow His Word to be broken.
As He clearly states in Genesis 12:1-3:
“Now the Lord said to Abram,
"Go forth from your country,
And from your relatives
And from your father's house,
To the land which I will show you;
And I will make you a great nation,
And I will bless you,
And make your name great;
And so you shall be a blessing;
And I will bless those who bless you,
And the one who curses you I will curse.
And in you all the families of the earth
will be blessed." (NASU)
Other Scriptures throughout the Bible
speak of the results of those seeking to divide His land. Ones that try will
themselves suffer the consequences He has truly spoken of. Even for those
countries who mock the eternal Word, thinking they can decree what they want
whenever they want, will certainly realize the resulting cost that their
anti-Semitic choices have made. History itself has proven what happens to those
nations that have risen up in opposition to Israel. As they have done that,
they ended up actually opposing God Himself. And He still reigns, as they lay
in the dust.
I leave Jerusalem and His people with
confidence that they are protected and provided for. As the Lord Yeshua
continues to reveal Himself to these He chose to come to earth through, the
Jews, I believe they will come to the full knowledge of their promised Messiah,
and thus trust fully in His salvation, which only Yeshua (Jesus) can provide.
Blessings on all ye heads, O People of
Israel!
