How You Can Provoke Jewish People to Jealousy

1/31/2017 GRANT BERRY  CHARISMA NEWS

When thinking of how I can become more effective in bringing the gospel to the Jewish people, I am often reminded of the Apostle Paul's writings in Romans to stir the rest of us into Jewish witness and evangelism.

"How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?" (Rom. 10:14).

One of my dear good friends and brothers in Yeshua/Jesus, J.B. Bernstein, is a Messianic evangelist whose belly is filled with the fire of the Lord to bring the good news back to the Jewish people and of course anyone else who will listen.

He has written a new ebook on this subject to help enlighten and equip the rest of us, which can really help to make a difference in our Jewish witness and evangelism.

Here are some of his thoughts and a link below to his website to access the free ebook.

More next month from the land of Israel ... Grant Berry

Evangelist J.B. Bernstein

"I say then, have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid! But through their transgression salvation has come to the Gentiles, to make them jealous" (Rom. 11:11).

Romans 11:11 is a verse of Scripture that has not yet fully come into its fulfillment. On the contrary, up to this point; instead of loving the Jews, the ancient church persecuted them in its place and greatly misunderstood the plight of the Jewish people, ultimately misleading the rest of us. So, for the past 1,800 years, we have not yet come close to this calling.

However, as we draw closer to the Lord's return, all of this is about to change; as God re-focuses His heart and plans to restore His first-born, there is a new love for Israel in the air, and our Gentile family has a huge role to play out in their salvation. Now we must re-learn how to rebuild these bridges between Jew and Gentile in the family of God.

Can You See Yourself in a New Light?

Firstly, we need to remind ourselves that our Jesus is Jewish, as well as all of the apostles and prophets; that our Savior is the Son of David, the lion of the tribe of Judah and the King of the Jews. We need to begin to lay a Jewish foundation for the gospel that Jewish people may more readily receive.

I believe the time has come for Christians to finally be the catalysts God intends them to be and provoke Jewish people to such jealousy that they will run to and embrace their Messiah. What an amazing thought.

The question is: How can this get done? What does it look like? What will make Jewish people jealous of Christians?

How Can This Happen?

I believe the Lord has revealed how this can happen, and I am very excited at the prospect of the entire body of Messiah/Christ embracing, understanding and fulfilling their purpose to bring salvation back to the people who first brought it to them.

To make anyone jealous of what you have, it must be so great it's beyond belief. That means Jewish people need to see what you have is something so fantastic and appealing that they must have it themselves.

However, in order for Christians to truly provoke Israel to jealousy, there needs to be a change in the way we see ourselves. This calls for a paradigm shift in the Christian mindset. We do not want to change who we are as new creations in Messiah/Christ, but we need to see ourselves as wild olive branches that have been grafted on to the cultivated olive tree which is their tree ("their tree" meaning the olive tree is figuratively Israel).

This change of mindset will make our message so much more powerful in that our appeal to Jewish people will not be that they need to "become one of us" but rather that we have "become one of them!" This will open many Jewish hearts and is part of the truth that will set multitudes of Jewish people free.

The Lord is Releasing New Mantles in 2017 by Lana Vawser Identity Network

The Lord is Releasing New Mantles in 2017 by Lana Vawser

Identity Network

 

Soaking is a huge key in 2017 to see and experience the greater weight of His glory.

 

As I spent time with the Lord recently I had a vision where I saw encounters with Jesus happening right across the body of Christ where the Lord was specifically releasing new mantles upon His people. These new mantles were for the new season that we are entering into as the body of Christ.

 

He is looking for those chasing His heart and humility.

 

The first thing I noticed was His eyes, He was looking, His eyes were roaming through the body of Christ and instantly I knew what He was looking for.  He was looking for those chasing after His heart simply to know Him and humility!

 

New Mantles

 

I then noticed that these mantles when placed upon many of God's people, it was like they had rivers of water rushing within them, yet they were burning with fire at the same time.

 

I felt the Lord saying that these new mantles will bring great refreshing to those who receive it and refreshing will flow from them to others. The fire upon these mantles was such deep revelation of His love and the purity He is releasing through these anointings.

 

As the Lord was releasing these new mantles I saw Him smiling and He spoke "These new mantles are for the significant increase that is upon you in this new season of 2017. There will be greater capacity and greater grace." I also saw the words significant strategic strategy and felt the Lord say that as these new mantles are released there will be clarity and wisdom releasing significant strategic strategy to know how to operate in these new mantles.

 

Soaking is a Huge Key for 2017

 

I then heard the words "I am releasing these new mantles in 2017 and soaking will be a huge key to see and experience the greater weight of My Glory and living from this realm will see greater ease, explosive increase of favor and fruitfulness manifest. 2016 has been a year of great weight (heaviness) and waiting for many of My people, 2017 will be a year where as you soak and wait upon me, you will see the weight of my glory in a way you have never seen or experienced."

 

"So much will change in My glory! Soaking is a strategic key in 2017 for My people in moving into greater realms of manifested victory!"

 

Guard Your Hearts Against Jealousy and Competition

 

"Guard your hearts against jealousy and competition for the enemy will attempt to stir up issues of the soul and woundings to tempt God's people to move in jealousy at the mantles and favor that I am releasing. Keep checks on your hearts and inviting Me into those deep places to bring healing. Bless and celebrate those around you while waiting for your breakthrough and watch and see what I will do for you!!! Entertaining jealousy and competition will cause a delay! Stay in My presence and worship and I will reveal My love to you and your identity in new ways that will see jealousy find no place!!!!"

 

The "Queen of Sheba" will be Drawn to You

 

"There will be tremendous acceleration in 2017 and there is a temptation to be overwhelmed, but do not let yourself get caught up in busyness, but know that as you prioritize time to soak you will see greater fruitfulness in our intimacy and you will hear Me clearly amongst the acceleration, you will see your capacity increase, you will live with greater peace, you will see greater manifested victory and you will see greater amounts of fruit for little effort. Excellence in Me will be seen in significant ways that will draw the Queen of Sheba to You! In the prioritized time to soak in the secret place, you will see Isaiah 22:22 explode before you! But you will not be overwhelmed by these doors, because as you have soaked in My presence and spent time with Me, I have given you strategy before the doors even appear to you!!!"

 

Soaking is a huge key in 2017!

Did You Learn to Love? by Kari Browning

Did You Learn to Love? 

Kari Browning

The Identity Network

"So this is my prayer: that your love will flourish and that you will not only love much but well."  (Philippians 1:9, The Message)

Did you learn to love?

This was the question that Bob Jones was asked when he died and went to heaven on August 8, 1975.

If we want to learn to love, we must become emotionally mature. We must put away, or render inoperative, childish ways.  (1 Corinthians 13:11)

Many of us find ourselves "stuck" in behaviors that are rooted in fear, not love.  Like the apostle Paul, we find ourselves behaving in ways that we do not want to. (Romans 7:22-25)

Many believers, including leaders, are bound by rejection, jealousy, anger, insecurity, bitterness, pride, fear, and other toxic emotions. Many have become addicted to drugs, alcohol, sex, gambling, food, etc.
   

Oftentimes, these toxic emotions and addictions are rooted in emotional hurts or unmet love needs.

How Do We Become "Unstuck?" 

How do we release toxic emotions and come into a place of mature love? How do we get our love needs met in legitimate ways?

I believe we find the answers to these questions in both counseling and community. We need to get our love needs met in healthy community, and we also may need the help of someone skilled in healing the brokenhearted to help us identify and release toxic emotions and negative core beliefs and expectations.

When we experience an emotional hurt, we oftentimes form negative core beliefs and expectations. These beliefs and expectations usually are not conscious, but they are very powerful. They can even cause us to be drawn to people and situations that will reinforce these beliefs and expectations.

For instance, a woman who is raised by an abusive father may develop an expectation that "all men will abuse me" and may form a belief that she has no value.  She finds herself drawn to one abusive relationship after another, and that expectation becomes her reality. If she feels that she has no value, she will continue to allow people to abuse her.

Emotional Overreactions

When someone experiences emotional hurts and does not release the pain associated with them, they may find themselves in situations that "trigger" the painful repressed memories. When this happens, an emotional overreaction usually occurs.

When we find ourselves overreacting in situations, we need to discover the root issue causing this. We will need to release the pain that has been repressed in a healthy and productive way. If we don't, we often lash out at others, isolate, medicate ourselves, or go to food, drugs, sex, etc. for comfort.  

When we've been hurt, we often put up a wall of self-protection around our heart. This wall keeps us from giving or receiving love fully.

The early Church leaders understood the connection between the body and the soul. (3 John 1:2) They understood that toxic emotions are at the root of many physical illnesses. (Proverbs 17:22)

Healing in Spirit, Soul and Body

They used the "laying on of hands" and natural remedies to bring healing to both soul and body. When someone was sick, they called for the leaders of the Church to anoint them with oils.  Anoint means "to rub" or "massage."  (James 5:14-15)

I believe the early Church leaders were trained in what oils to use for particular emotions and sicknesses. There are over 1,000 references in the Bible to oils or the plants that they are derived from.

Those coming for prayer also confessed their sins and released guilt and shame. (James 5:16) Guilt can sometimes cause physical pain as people unconsciously seek to punish themselves for the wrongs they have done. I have seen physical pain instantly leave a body when guilt was released and forgiveness was received.

Jesus came to heal us spirit, soul, and body. (1 Thessalonians 5:23)

The ancient paths are being restored (Jeremiah 6:16) and we are learning how to love.

Provoking The Jews To Jealousy - Ze'ev Nevo (Israel Media Ministries)

 Ze'ev Nevo

Provoking The Jews To Jealousy

Shalom! As the winds of war are surrounding Israel, we must pray for the peace of Jerusalem. But let us not stop there. God is calling us to "Provoke the Jews to Jealousy." Let's try to find out why and how we should do that.

Honestly speaking, provoking someone to jealousy doesn't sound to me like the noblest behavior. Wouldn't you say that it is almost the opposite of how a follower of Jesus should act? It reminds me of how a 6 years old classmate showed me his ice cream cone, while licking it in front of my face, gladly singing in my ears "na na na na na, I have an ice cream and you don't!" Now tell me, how exactly that goes along with "Love thy neighbor as thyself?"

So what does God mean when He is telling Gentile followers of Jesus that they are to "Provoke the Jews to Jealousy?" That's exactly what we want to find out. The term "Provoke to Jealousy" appears three times in Romans 10 and 11. The first of these three is found in Romans 10:19 where Paul is quoting the words of Moses from Deuteronomy 32. This is where we have to do some digging!

Deuteronomy 32 is known as "The Song of Moses." Yes, Moses wrote a song. Not just because he felt like it, God commanded him to do so. Here's how it happened. In Deuteronomy 31:14 God spoke to Moses and told him: "Behold, the days approach when you must die." Then God reveals to Moses that after he will die the people of Israel "...will rise and play the harlot with the gods of the foreigners of the land... And they will forsake Me and break the covenant which I have made with them." (31:16-17) God told Moses that as a result He will hide His face from Israel and that they will face"many evils and troubles."

Nevertheless, God had a plan. He instructed Moses (and Joshua) to write a song and teach it ("Put in the months", in Hebrew) of the people of Israel. Why? "...that this song will be A WITNESS FOR ME among the children of Israel." (31:19B)

A-Ha! The purpose of this song is to WITNESS to the children of Israel, so that they will realize the cause of all their misery and who is their One and Only Solution! Let me jump ahead and say that the last line of the song declares: "He will provide atonement to His land and His people." (32:43) Amen!!

The song of Moses is indeed quite a witness! And as we might expect itwitnesses about Jesus. Let's find out where.

Just like in Romans 10 and 11, the term "Provoke to jealousy" appears three times in the song. Jesus, in addition to being the focal message of the entire Bible, and as such, of the entire song of Moses as well, is also mentioned very specifically several times throughout the song. The first time Jesus is clearly mentioned here isjust one verse before the term "Provoke to jealousy" appears for the first time: "But Jeshurun grew fat and kicked; you grew fat, you grew thick, you are obese! Then he forsook God who made him, and scornfully esteemed the Rock of his salvation." (32:15)

Jeshurun is one of the names of Israel in the Bible. This verse, written about 1400 BC, prophecies that Israel will scornfully esteem (in Hebrew, "Curse!") the very Rock of their ownsalvation! As you may already know, the Hebrew name of Jesus, Yeshua, means 'Salvation' (Mat. 1:21, Acts4:12). Immediately after the word "Yeshua'to" (His salvation) at the end of verse 15, we get to the Hebrew word "Yakni'oohu" in verse 16, which means "Provoke Him to jealousy."

Incredible! Even if we look just at verses 15-16 we see the following prophecy: Israel will reject God, curse the Rock of their salvation (their own Savior), and as a result they will provoke God to jealousy!

Now we are in a better position to understand why God wants to provoke Israel to jealousy, are we not? -- God LOVES Israel! He is a Husband to Israel (Jer. 31:31 - "though I was a Husband to them") and althoughIsrael provoked God to jealousy by breaking the covenant relationship with Him and entering into a relationship with other "gods", The God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel has not given up on restoring His marriage with the children of Israel. God is intensely jealous about Israel. Why? Because His everlasting love for Israel painfully resonates in His heart.

God wants Israel back! But He will not do it by Himself. His method of accomplishing it is through a new covenant that He promised to Israel(Jer. 31:32). This new covenant will be proclaimed and lived out by a new group of people, the Gentiles, the people from all the other nations, whom were grafted into a covenant relationship with the God of Israel; the same group of people whom previously were considered by God as "those who are not a nation." We find it in the song of Moses (Deut. 32:21) where God says about Israel: "They have provoked me to jealousy by what is not God... But I will provoke then to jealousy by those who are not a nation."

Guess who is a crucial member of that new chosen group? You are absolutely right! It is no other than YOU! Now it is your time to move into action. God wants to use His covenant relationship with YOU to provoke the Jews to jealousy. This will usher Israel back to the Rock of their salvation whom they have rejected:"The stone that the builders (the Jews) rejected has become a cornerstone." (Psalms 118:22) This will lead to the fulfillment of Moses' prophetic song: "He will provide atonement to His land and His people."

"That's great", you say, "But how can I provoke the Jews to jealousy?" That's a good question. To find the Biblical answer we need to look no further than... the song of Moses. Just like the song of Moses, God calls you to be a Witness for Him among the children of Israel. We are to Witness to the Jewish people, whether they live next door, or anywhere else in the world. Thanks to modern technology, we can now witness together to the Jewish people in Israel and worldwide.

As the events unfold in the Middle East, let us reach out to the people of Israel with the saving message of their very own Messiah and Savior.


God bless you for provoking the Jews to jealousy with me,
Ze'ev
