"Why" - Jerusalem Log #7

Saturday 05.06.17 Jerusalem, Israel

Steve Martin

Greetings from the land of the Messiah, Who came for all of us.

Why does anyone come to Israel? Of course to experience the spiritual reality of walking where Jesus (Yeshua) walked; to see for yourself the historical locations mentioned in the Torah and the Covenants, the full Bible; and to stand in support of the people, even more so as the world around them grows more hostile and committed to destroying them, as they have sworn to do.

My purpose for these many journeys to their Land is to personally let them know that I too believe what the Scriptures say, what the prophetic truths have declared, and to be a part of the plans of the Lord God of Israel. Simply doing my part.

My heart, and that of Love For His People ministry, is to do what we can, with what we have. That is to love the Jews, living in their Land, given to them through Abraham, from the Father above.

Over these past 40 years many personal relationships have developed with those who have paid the price, made the move (Aliyah), and now walk in faith for that which has been given to them. After centuries of hate and destruction from so-called “Christians”, my actions as a true believer must be to show them the love of their Lord and mine, from a Gentile (non-Jew) as I am. My presence here in Israel demonstrates my commitment to them. It is putting my money where my mouth is.

One relationship that has developed over the last three years is with that of the Lerner family, living north of Jerusalem. Nissim and Hadassah have opened their door to my wife Laurie and I, and we are so grateful for their hospitality and love shown towards us.

Having made aliyah with their family of four sons and one daughter in 1989 from the Virginia, USA area, they have put their roots down here, and are seeing the fruit of their determination to live as the Lord has directed. Now with 16 grandchildren and counting (their daughter has nine children!) they are living their lives with the strength provided from above.

Nissim works with CBN, and has seen his important, “behind the scenes” part in the ministry grow and flourish, as the TV and Internet presence of CBN News continues to increase, broadcasting weekly from Jerusalem. Also, Nissim is an excellent cook!

Hadassah lays her life down by being fulfilling the important role of being grandma to her 13 grandchildren also living in the same community. Whatever is needed, both her and Nissim are here to give encouragement to them all. Her postings on social media (primarily Facebook) certainly helps give the truthful position on what really is happening in Israel. I myself have reposted many of what she has put forth.

Both her and her husband have certainly been very hospitable each time we have come and stayed in their home. They often open their home to others who come, for a few days or months. Even now they are hosting a Chinese Jewish girl going to school here at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Their son Timothy actually taught her in China when she was younger. He is fluent in Mandarin and leads many Chinese on tours in Israel as their certified tour guide.

Giving thanks to the Lord for what He has done here in Israel, which is miraculous to say the least, is the first thing we regularly do. Giving love for His people is the natural outcome of His love and truth shown to us. We are a blessed people to be grafted into His plans and purposes, into the tree of life. Seeing Him through all this is awesome.

That is why we stand with the people of Israel.

Ahava (love) and Shalom (peace) from Israel!

Is Your Family Tree Being Shaken? - Bill Yount

Is Your Family Tree Being Shaken?

Posted: 06 Sep 2016 Bill Yount

If your family tree is being shaken, you are right on schedule. I see the Lord shaking the hell out of many family trees right now. God's shaking alone will bring in your spouse, children and grandchildren into His kingdom like nothing else will.

Many parents are wondering where and how to pass their baton onto the next generation. Don't be surprised that through this great shaking, you discover your baton falling down through the family tree and being caught by your children and grandchildren.

Caution: They will most likely take your legacy and ministry in a whole new direction to reach a unique generation.

Can you hear the rustling of the leaves at the top of your family tree? Rejoice, it's God beginning to blow His breath like a mighty wind into your family's nostrils to live again.

"I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth." 3 John 1:4

 My new book: "Some Hear Thunder.. I Hear A Roar! / Supernatural Encounters & Stories to Encourage Your Heart," is available.

I Am Awakening Your Children And Grandchildren - Bill Yount

I Am Awakening Your Children And Grandchildren

Posted: 11 Jun 2015 

The enemy is about to hear from our children and grandchildren beginning this season. Watch and expect the passion for Christ to run wild like a raging fire inside of them.

 The Lord has allowed them to be placed in strategic locations in the earth and even in some unusual places where we think they shouldn’t be. In prisons, homeless on the streets, or wherever they are being held in Satan’s grip.

They have now been divinely positioned to become a firebrand in God’s hand to ignite and explode like dynamite inside the camp of the enemy! This is why the enemy forever has fought against marriages. He feared concerning the Godly seed that was about to come upon the earth to do him in. And here they come!

“Your descendants will defeat their enemies.” Genesis 22:17 ( Message Bible )

Blessings,

Bill Yount 

A Blessed Man, 'Tis I

I am a blessed man...

To have two fathers in heaven who love me 

- my heavenly Father and my Dad.

To have a Savior who has forgiven me of my sins, 

and loves all as no other can.

For having my Mom for over 59 years now, 

who cheers me on. And with Bill too.

To have a good wife for 36 years, and counting.

My helpmate through and through.

For my four adult children, their spouses, 

and our six grandchildren... 

whom they are now raising

 in a godly manner.

For having many brothers and sisters too. 

One right after another!

Giving thanks for Laurie's Mom Lorraine, 

and good sister Linda.

And remembering Otto, my father-in-law, 

a godly man, what a wonder.

I am a blessed man, 

to have faithful friends 

who stand with you, 

while others have 
come and gone.

Such as these, Peter & Joy Wyns,

who held us up in transition times, 

when ministry desires seemed thin.

For worldwide bonds 

in Israel, 

Canada, the UK; 

and even far beyond.

Daily I see His 

purposes and plans 

being worked out here. 

Accomplished they are!

For these I give thanks 

to the Lord on High;

A blessed man, 'tis I.

Ahava,

And for our pet Dachshund Zoe, 

who loves her daddy too!

Genesis 22:17 ( Message Bible ) “Your descendants will defeat their enemies.” If a coin was found in a fish's mouth, maybe there is a connection between our mouth and our money.  How many times have we said, "I'm broke, I'm sick, I'm catching a cold," and watched it come to pass? Little do we realize that when we open our mouth we are prophesying either good or bad!  Why not say, "I have all the money I will ever need! I'm being attacked by healing! Healing runs in my family! I heard a saying once that even a fish would stay out of trouble if it learned to keep its mouth shut! Blessings, Bill Yount
