A Word of Love From Sweden - Eva Haglund

Shalom Steve!

I wish you a nice beginning of the new year!

I saw on your blog that there were a man who lived in Peru who did painting. Is he a relative? There were nice paintings! My husband comes from Peru.

You wrote about Rick Joyner. I do not know him so much but have gotten a good impression of him. For instance he talks about love in Body of Christ - fellowship and care of each other.

Not so many talk about this and I think it is important to talk about what Jesus did. He prayed that there will be love from God in the Body of Christ, which will be a testimony to the world (John 17:21.) I think it is, for instance, as in Acts 2:46. The enemy has stolen it from quite a lot in the Body of Christ. Instead there sometimes are as if clubs. In 1 Cor.12 we can read that we need each other much in friendship.

Jesus say in John 15:13, "Greater love has no one than this than to lay down ones life for his friend." Jesus talked about love. Why then are there not so many who preach this. To be hospitalble and have fellowship. That is love - not just a smile. There needs to be much more fellowship.

Jesus says also, "This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you." Sometimes some Christians have a good heart to evangelize but are not interested in friendship. You also have to have friendship so people who get saved have friends to come to.

We can see that Jesus had fellowship. For instance in John 21 they were eating together, talking and Jesus made breakfast and a warm fire. Jesus is the Friend. You can talk to Him when you eat breakfast or go on a walk. He is the best Friend among friends.

Our heavenly Daddy and Jesus have much fellowship and are not impersonal. They talk to each other.

Christian conferences can be good and it can be good to be at one. But if you want to go to conferences, when is there time to have a cup of coffee with a friend and have time with God? I like to be at a good conference but also to have time in fellowship with God and friends.

Jesus gave time and shared His bread. For me this also means fellowship because I think to share bread can also be to talk with each other around a table. Where there is just a club in the Body of Christ I think God wants to restore so it will become as He wants.

There are also friendships but I think there needs to be more. I think also that we are not created just to do things for God or just to ask God for things but to be a close friend to God.

This I think is where worship comes in because it has to do with the relation to God. Dance as unto God I think is also worshiping Him with the body as Mirjam and David did.

To have a relation with God is to read His Word because Jesus is the Word.

I think the Bible symbol for instance can be bread. Jesus is the Bread, the Life of Bread. (John 6:35)

Jesus did not just talk or preach about love For instance, when He told us to wash each others feet, He did this to show care. He lived love. He was like a servant and gave all in love. He is life. He is love.

Thank you for many good things you write and give on the blog!

Blessings,

Eva

A HEAVENLY TREASURE …

Money.

Love. Love not. What will I choose?

Who is God- a hard God?

A God of love?

The money, the idol in the bank.

Is it worth to live for?

Is money, things more worth than care and love?
Who is God?

Did he keep his love in heaven or did he gave?

He gave his Bread - his life…

He gave ALL he had not because he had to but by FREE WILL…

He preached by his life that he is a God of love.

He gave ALL he had in a deepest pain - NAILED for us…

The pain he carried he carried for us - a love more worth than money-

He the King - thought that we were more worth than all money in the world…

You are rich if you have him…

Eva Haglund.

Messiah

As Messianic Jews and non-Jews, we look to the beautiful mosaic of love and guidance that God has laid out for us in the fullness of His word. From Genesis to Revelation, the Lord reveals a road-map to righteousness that with every hill, valley and turn points both Jew and non-Jew to the Annointed One, Yeshua (Jesus) the Messiah. 

The Holy Days, prophecies and wisdom of HIS word cry out with the message of Salvation for ALL nations. As Messianic Jews and non-Jews we invite all to join us in experiencing the incredible blessings that are found in fullness of God's plan of Salvation.

Welcome to the Messianic website that links the Jew and Gentile with their prophesied Messiah and opens up the mystery of the Redeemer of Israel. As the root of Christianity, Jewish worship styles are far more than mere culture and stem from a Biblical and historical relationship with God that has been the basis of their entire existence for over four thousand years. 

Jews and Gentiles today who believe in Yeshua and follow these Jewish historical and Biblical practices generally refer to themselves as Messianic.

"Messianic" comes from the Hebrew word, "mashiach," which means, "the anointed one." It was used of priests and kings of Israel, but took on a specialized meaning in reference to the coming Messiah, the supernatural Deliverer of Israel. 

In the first century, when Greek was the lingua franca, "mashiach" was translated into Greek as "christos" from which we have developed the English words, Christ and Christian. So "Messianic" and "Christian" mean the same thing--they refer to a disciple of Yeshua, though they are derived from Hebrew and Greek respectively. 

Since He is the Messiah of Israel and the One of whom the prophets have spoken, faith in Him, the Hope of Israel, for the atonement of sin is the most Jewish response a person can make. Of course, you don't have to be Jewish to become a disciple, but it couldn't hurt!

A Messianic Congregation is a fellowship of Jews and Gentiles who believe that Yeshua is the true Jewish Messiah promised by God through the writings of the Hebrew Scriptures, and who worship within the framework of traditional Jewish patterns. Many of these groups exist in the United States, Israel, and other countries.

Ahava Love Letter - "Connections" (#57)

                                                                 

Connections”

”The Son of Man, on the other hand, feasts and drinks, 

and you say, ‘He’s a glutton and a drunkard, and a 

friend of tax collectors and other sinners!’ But wisdom 

is shown to be right by its results.” (Matthew 11:19 (NLT)

Dear family of friends,

The life trying to happen at the recent office birthday party surely wasn’t happening. In fact, standing around, trying to make small talk, while holding a half-filled glass of liquid, wasn’t much fun at all. What many may consider the “scene” really isn’t. Lost in the crowd, trying to be someone, is a very lonely place to be. But for some, that is all they have. It need not be that way, if we are there to tell them.

I am truly thankful that my life isn’t one of striving while in a pressurized mode, to make it to the top, have the great image, or be “all you can be.” That can even happen in a church or congregation setting, with that “just below the surface” uneasiness, or feeling out of place, that I know many experience. I have often.

But as my good friend Morris Ruddick would say, “There is something more.”

That something more begins with knowing the Lord Jesus, Yeshua HaMashiach, and having His intended connection with Himself. Once we have gotten to that starting line, His heart is to then connect us with others in His Body, and His nations - to receive ongoing life in a very meaningful way.

Real friendships can be bonded together as we share His purposes on this planet, as we come together in unity to seek His face, know His will, and walk in the understanding that you and I need each other. We are not meant to be an island in the ocean, or the single sheep in the pack of wolves.

So what about those who surround us, that have not had any experience yet with Him, that we know of? There are times when I will need to be with my fellow office staff, so as not to be isolated from them, or make them feel as if I am the “unsociable one”. But in my pursuit to actually befriend them, right where they are, as Jesus taught us in His examples, I will always be mindful of the real purpose. That is to get them connected too, to the Father and their Creator, so they also can begin to experience real life in Jesus (Yeshua).

We are called to go out into the world, aren’t we? Does that mean going on a mission trip to Kenya (in Africa), or the inner parts of the city where you live? Yes it does.

It also means to go where the people around you go, in that business setting, or the local bar (oops, I said it) or recreational event - again as Jesus Himself did. I guess we may even be accused of associating with sinners. I guess they did that to Jesus too.

All of us have been in the place where we needed a connection, another former sinner like us, to reach out to us, right where we were at. Many of us can remember exactly where that happened, and how. The seeds others had shown in our lives up to that time, those other connections, were set up by the Holy Spirit (Ruach HaKodesh) Himself, to get us in His Body. And then that rebirth happened.

As I seek to befriend my co-workers in the office setting, even if at times I feel most uncomfortable, I know that if I don’t reach out to them, and they don’t come to my church setting or anyone else’s, which is most likely even more now a days, how will they hear? How will they know? How will they get connected?

I urge you to be bold in your actions. We need to stop being the “weak Christians awaiting the rapture” (that rapture lie won’t happen anyway, in my opinion) and reach out to those around us who need to get connected. You are probably the one the Lord has been wanting to send to them.

Keep getting life through your fellowship connections. Then give it out to those who also need you, as Yeshua works through you.

If not now, when? Connections are needed now more than ever.

Ahava (love in Hebrew) to my family of friends,

Mantles of Glory Ministries - "As You Lean into Me My Bride, You Will Be Set Aflame"

A Prophetic Newsletter                            www.MantlesOfGlory.org

By Karla Shrake

May 9, 2013

Volume 18

"As You Lean into Me My Bride,

You Will Be Set Aflame"

"As you draw near to Me in adoration and worship," says your Lion-Bridegroom, "I will release fresh fire upon you, deeper and hotter than ever before. This fire will remove the dross and complacency that has been upon much of My Body. For this is the hour of the purifying fire of Malachi 4...burning like an oven and burning not only the branches, but also the roots of those things that oppose Me."

"Surely this is the season I am releasing fresh fire from heaven upon My people, upon those who are seeking Me. For it is the consuming fire of My presence that is needed in this dark day, for many who are lost and bound will not recognize Me unless they encounter Me in a tangible way. I am looking for those who will fully surrender to Me so I can manifest My fire in and through them to all around. During the dry and challenging last season some have grown weary and lukewarm. I desire to stir and ignite them afresh that they woud burn brightly and clearly and flow in increasing dumais power. For this will produce more fruit for My Kingdom and also more liberty and victory for you personally."

"I am inviting you to fellowship with Me in the fire of My holiness. Commune with Me in the fire of My passion....the passion of My love for you, My Bride. As you draw ever-nearer I will impart to you My fiery passion for lost souls, for the perishing and the dying. Commune with Me as the Lion of Judah and I will ignite your hearts with love for My people Israel, that they would come to know Me as their Lamb-Messiah. As you lean into Me My Bride, I will take you into new realms, glories and possibilities."

How we love you, Jesus our Lion! Our hearts say yes, yes....Y-E-S to you!

Consume us.... that we are transformed into living torches releasing your presence everywhere we go. Amen!
