Israel Photo Trivia ✡ "A Land of Wheat and Barley"

A Land of wheat, barley, grape, fig and pomegranate; a Land of olive oil and honey DEUTERONOMY (8:8)   אֶרֶץ חִטָּה וּשְׂעֹרָה וְגֶפֶן וּתְאֵנָה וְרִמּוֹן אֶרֶץ זֵית שֶׁמֶן וּדְבָשׁ דברים ח:ח e-retz khi-ta u-s'-o-ra v'-ge-fen u-t'-ay-na v'-ri-mon e-retz zayt she-men u-d'-vash

Today's Israel Inspiration Barley looks similar to wheat but is smaller and surrounded by long ‘hair-like’ strands, from which it received its name ‘Se’ora’ which is very similar to the Hebrew word for hair, ‘Se-ar’. In biblical times, the barley harvest would be brought to the Temple in Jerusalem in a joyous ceremony that showed the importance of dedicating a portion of our crops to our Creator before we eat from them ourselves.

Grapes and Raisins, Promises and Fulfillments By ROBIN MCMILLAN

Grapes and Raisins, Promises and Fulfillments By ROBIN MCMILLAN Over the years I have accumulated a number of unfulfilled personal promises from the Lord. Recently I mentioned to Him that I didn't understand why He had not yet fulfilled them. Its not that I'm unusually impatient nor extraordinarily patient, but some of these promises are over 30 years old. As I questioned the Lord I saw a picture in my mind of a scoop in heaven pouring out raisins. At first I disregarded what I saw. It seemed foolish and of no consequence. However I couldn't shake it and so began to inquire of the Lord about it. Grapes are the clearest old testament prophetic image representing a promise. When the twelve spies returned from spying out the 'promised land' they brought back grapes as proof of its great fruitfulness. The grapes of Eschol were so large that it took two men to carry back one bunch on a long stick between them. Grapes became synonymous with the promised land and are the prototypical picture of a promise. Now, raisins. Raisins are grapes dried up. They don't look near as good as plump juicy grapes but they fulfill a different purpose. In the ancient world they sustained soldiers in times of war or people traveling distances who need nutritious food that would not perish. Grapes only last a short time but raisins have the ability to sustain people in dry difficult circumstances over the long haul. Jeremiah once said, "I found your word and ate it and it became the joy and rejoicing of my heart..." Thats what we must do to inherit the promises of God. We must eat them, chew on them, meditate upon them, consume them and make them ours. Promises come like grapes but are fulfilled like raisins. Over time our personal promises seem to dry up and wither just like a grape that becomes a raisin, but if we will eat them they shall sustain us until their time of fulfillment arrives. REMEMBER: PROMISES COME LIKE GRAPES BUT ARE FULFILLED LIKE RAISINS.  Read in browser »   BUY MOOSETALES  click here Mystic MooseTales: Redefining Wildlife My primary purpose for writing MooseTales is to impart two things to the current generation: love for Jesus and authentic hunger for the historic supernatural God of the Bible. I chose the allegorical style because it lends itself to creativity in a wide range of expression and humor. In my imagination there exists a world where animals walk on two legs, demonstrate all the attributes of humans, and live and interact together with people. In just such a world Theodore Conquest ‘Mystic’ Moose lives and does his exploits. Many of these tales are based on events that have literally happened to flesh and blood men and women. These people I know.

Inside an Israeli Winery ✡ "Destroy it not, for a Blessing is in it"

So said the Lord, "As when wine is found in the cluster, and one shall say, "Destroy it not, for a blessing is in it"; so will I do for the sake of My servants, not to destroy everything. ISAIAH (65:8)   כֹּה  אָמַר יְ-הֹוָה כַּאֲשֶׁר יִמָּצֵא הַתִּירוֹשׁ בָּאֶשְׁכּוֹל וְאָמַר אַל תַּשְׁחִיתֵהוּ כִּיבְרָכָה בּוֹ כֵּן אֶעֱשֶׂה לְמַעַן עֲבָדַי לְבִלְתִּי הַשְׁחִית הַכֹּל יְשַׁעְיָהוּ סה:ח ko a-mar a-do-nai ka-a-sher yi-ma-tzay ha-tee-rosh ba-esh-kol v'-a-mar al tash-hee-tay-hu kee b'-ra-kha bo kayn e-e-se l'-ma-an a-va-dai l'-vil-tee hash-kheet ha-kol

Today's Israel Inspiration In today's verse, Isaiah encourages the Jewish people in exile that God will yet bring the redemption. Just like a vine with a few good grapes will not be destroyed, but the good will be extracted for its blessed juice, thus will God redeem His people despite their sins. "Vineyards of Kindness" is a green charity that "finds the blessing in it" by recycling old furniture and used clothing and distributing them to the poor in Israel, along with food and money for urgent needs.   Bless the neediest of Israel this winter »  Inside the Golan Winery: L'Chaim!

"Musings Of The Heart" - Bill Yount

Musings Of The Heart Posted: 16 Aug 2013 07:40 PM PDT Isaiah 65:8 "The new wine is found in the cluster." The Lord is moving in clusters of people. You can always tell when God is about to make new wine from the cluster where He has placed you: Some grapes will begin to "wine." The Lord spoke to me personally. "Son, you have been faithful in hating religious spirits, but you have fallen short in loving religious people. I love them. I want to deliver them. Not loving them invites a religious spirit into your life." Four years of college or one word of knowledge. Don't limit God with your education. Where the devil wants to kill you is often the place where God wants to use you. Pray again. Even Jesus prayed a second time to heal a blind man's eyes. Mark 8:22-26 Blessings, Bill Yount
