Jerusalem,
Israel
Greetings
from Israel, before I head to the airport for home.
These
last 10 days in the Land of Israel were as usual – you never know who you are
going to meet. But then again, when the Lord lays out His plan, step by step,
and you walk in it, you know, “Yes, that was the Lord.”
As I consider some of
the more important aspects of this trip, I am grateful for the destination the
Lord had planned, and laid out day by day (there was a song like that…years
ago.) The people you stay with – along with their families and friends – and the
ones they interrelate alongside, make it more meaningful each time I am here.
Your love for them and desire to stand with them in these times grows in your
heart. You know it is part of the plan the Lord has for you. And for them.
Being
with the ones we support through Love for
His People, such as the couple who have volunteered with Christian Friends
of Israel now for almost seven years (the accountant there knows the actual
length!) and the grandparents north of Jerusalem with 13 grandchildren living within
walking distance make it what it should be.

Meeting the mural lady, Patricia Solveson, who incredibly painted the entire length and height of the cemetery where Derek
and Ruth Prince, Lance Lambert, and other men and women of God who are buried
there, who taught the Lord’s Word on the prophetic destination of the Jews in
this Land of theirs, and now have reached their eternal reward, was
amazing. She told me of the older Jewish man who would come to the
cemetery out of curiosity, and ask questions. “Why the Star of David on these
Christian headstones?” he inquired. By walking him through the biblical truth
laid out in dramatic colors on the wall, from Genesis to Revelation, he came to
know his Messiah too, Yeshua HaMashiach.

And now being able to say I have
met the faithful Christian and Messianic Jews who make up the CBN News staff,
who daily broadcast truth from the capital of Jerusalem to us living around the
world – these are part of the reason why I come. These are why so many
come. To be with the people of Israel.

The
Lord is joining many to many, as He continues to lay it all out, fulfilling His eternal purposes and plans. Believing Jews
and believing Gentiles walking together, with Him bringing His Body ever closer to their
final destiny.
I will always stand with
Israel. My wife Laurie and I will join with those who do, from all the nations.
The Lord Jesus’ has given us the commitment, and the strength in Him, for this
purpose.
Jews and Gentiles together in Him - The God of Israel
I pray you are one counted among those who will also be there until the end.
Ahava
(love) and Shalom (peace) from Israel!
