Unique Treasure - Now Think On This by Steve Martin

Unique Treasure

“For you are a people set apart as holy for Adonai your God. Adonai your God has chosen you out of all the peoples on the face of the earth to be his own unique treasure. Adonai didn’t set his heart on you or choose you because you numbered more than any other people — on the contrary, you were the fewest of all peoples. Rather, it was because Adonai loved you, and because he wanted to keep the oath which he had sworn to your ancestors, that Adonai brought you out with a strong hand and redeemed you from a life of slavery under the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.” (Deuteronomy 7:6-8, Complete Jewish Bible)

Some understand and get it when I explain to them why we, Love For His People ministry, support Israel and the Jewish people. They know that the Word of the Lord, complete from Genesis through Revelation, explains the redemption process the Almighty God Himself gave to us, from eternity.

And others? Well, not so much.

My good wife Laurie and I depart today for this journey across the Big Pond (May 1, 2019 - my 20^th trip to Israel, which being an accountant I keep track of), to the land, which is now flowing with milk and honey, literally, as promised. I want to again write of that which the Lord Himself called the Promised Land, for the Jews, and why it is such a huge “because”.

Simply put, God created Adam and Eve, the first man and woman (yes, true stories that really happened as written in all the Bible) and gave them life from which they later turned against due to the commitment of sin. This separated them from having fellowship with God. Then this very same God proceeded to bring forth His plans and purposes: send a Redeemer, through a chosen people, to once again have a family who would love Him, His only Begotten Son Yeshua, outworked through the ministry of the Holy Spirit.

This God-head, Three-in-One, wanted to share His eternal love with an eternal people, for all eternity. Because a path was needed to come back into His fellowship, and a blood sacrifice was required to redeem mankind from sin, He would send His Son, His only Begotten One, through the people called the Jews, for all the nations to receive His mercy and love.

The people could, if they would, receive Him, the Redeemer. If they received His free offer, fellowship would be restored.

And that is as simple as you can state it.

So how more completely was He going to do it? How would He reveal Himself, His love and mercy, His abundant grace reaching out to any and all who would seek, find, and accept His free offer of forgiveness, reconciliation, and redemption?

He chose the Jews, since the very beginning, to bring forth His plan, to themselves and all the nations. He sent His Son, Yeshua, to become a man, a Jew, and suffer, die, be crucified, and rise from the dead, as the Blood Sacrifice that God required, to cleanse mankind from sin.

As the above quoted, written Word clearly states, “Adonai (the Lord) your God has chosen you out of all the peoples on the face of the earth to be his own unique treasure. Adonai didn’t set his heart on you or choose you because you numbered more than any other people — on the contrary, you were the fewest of all peoples. Rather, it was because Adonai loved you, and because he wanted to keep the oath which he had sworn to your ancestors…”

God the Almighty, the Creator of the Universe, the One Who is above all and everything that has ever been created and exists. This very One chose the Jews. These exact ones who, through the many centuries since that choosing, have been miraculously brought through generations and generations of hardship, persecution, destruction many times over, and yet live on, in the Land of Israel and beyond, proving that God is God (Yahweh, Yeshua, Jesus, Lord of all, King of kings, Ancient of Days, Three in One, etc.) and that His Faithfulness and Truth, promised for all eternity, will not be stopped, with not be thwarted, and will never be beaten by Satan and his hordes of demons and principalities.

No nation, no dictator, no country filled with anti-Semitism, will keep the One and Only from completing His perfect plan and purpose, begun with man in the Garden, to the complete fulfillment of all prophetic words – spoken and written – up through the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. All these redeemed people, from all nations, will then be seated with Him and His Son Yeshua HaMashiach in His heavenly realm.

This unique treasure, the Jews, those who through it all, despised and rejected, just like their Messiah Yeshua was, are the ones who have carried these promises of redemption and restoration for these thousands of generations. This people, whom the Lord describes as the olive tree, has been brought through the test of times, and now shine forth from their land of promise, Israel.

God the Father gave His promise to the Jews, and through this very tree, the olive tree as described throughout Scripture as a visual for all, has also extended His offered life to the Gentiles, described as the wild branches of the olive tree.

Some have falsely believed, to this very day, that the Jews gave up their inheritance when they failed to recognize Jesus’s first coming as the promised Messiah. But as the apostle Paul clearly states in Romans, it was only for a time, to allow the Gentiles, non-Jews, to also receive the promise of salvation.

As he so adequately wrote in Romans 11:11-16, “I say then, have they stumbled that they should fall? Certainly not! But through their fall, to provoke them to jealousy, salvation has come to the Gentiles. Now if their fall is riches for the world, and their failure riches for the Gentiles, how much more their fullness!

For I speak to you Gentiles; inasmuch as I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry, if by any means I may provoke to jealousy those who are my flesh and save some of them. For if their being cast away is the reconciling of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?

For if the firstfruit is holy, the lump is also holy; and if the root is holy, so are the branches.

And if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them, and with them became a partaker of the root and fatness of the olive tree, do not boast against the branches. But if you do boast, remember that you do not support the root, but the root supports you.

You will say then, "Branches were broken off that I might be grafted in." Well said. Because of unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by faith. Do not be haughty, but fear. For if God did not spare the natural branches, He may not spare you either. Therefore consider the goodness and severity of God: on those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in His goodness.

Otherwise you also will be cut off. And they also, if they do not continue in unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again. For if you were cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and were grafted contrary to nature into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these, who are natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?

For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written:

"The Deliverer will come out of Zion, and He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob;” (NKJV)

Our commitment as believers, as Christians, in support of the Jews and their Land of Israel, Eretz Y’srael (Hebrew - Land of Israel) becomes stronger every day, as these end times further proves the existence and the outworking of God’s holy plan.

Those who chose to stand with His chosen people will reap the benefits of the same, this unique treasure to which the nations will either stumble over or acknowledge as the work of God.

We go today in support of our friends, believers in Yeshua, and rightful heirs of the Land He has brought them back to. May your heart and soul also be in support of these through whom the Savior of the world, Yeshua HaMashiach, has come, will come again, and justly rule from the very city He has placed His eternal Name on, Jerusalem, in Israel.

Now think of this,

Ahava and shalom,

"A Season of Increased Courage and Influence" - Jodie Hughes, The Elijah List

Jodie Hughes: "A Season of Increased Courage and Influence"

The Elijah List Apr 27, 2019

From the desk of Steve Shultz:

This powerful article by Jodi Hughes is, I believe, a MUCH needed message we need to hear right now.

Warfare has been very intense for many Believers these days. Yet every time the enemy tries to take over, God will raise up a standard against him. That is what I see in this kairos word from the Lord. Learn how God is giving His Church a NEW voice, NEW courage and NEW influence to combat the enemy in this hour!

I know this word by Jodi will encourage many of you as she shares:

Fear of man is being broken. Any partnerships with unbelief are being highlighted and evicted, and bold faith is arising. The Bride is breaking free of unbelief and intimidation that has fiercely assaulted and squashed her voice, and our collective and individual voice is being unshackled and unleashed. Influence is being added where anointed courage is being activated.

Now, read about the roll YOU play in this new season, and how to walk in God's fresh increase. Enjoy! (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

"A Season of Increased Courage and Influence"

Jodie Hughes, Graham, Texas

A Kairos Season of Redemption

In Luke 1, it records the announcement of something new God was birthing into the earth "in the days of King Herod." As we know, these days were full of fear, political upheaval, evil scheming, murderous agendas to kill a generation, unrest, chaos, hardship, and an abortive spirit to squash God's plans. The climate was also ripe for change. Breakthrough, reprieve and rescue were greatly needed. It was into this environment that the Lord announced He was birthing a new era of God invading Earth with hope.

As we know, to Mary He sent an angel to announce the birth of Jesus. To Zechariah, a righteous priest, He sent the same angel to announce the birth of John, who would be known as John the Baptist and be used to trumpet the arrival of Jesus and a new era. God had heard the cry of His people for rescue in the days of King Herod, and He announced a kairos season of redemption.

This parallels today in our nations with the phrase "as in the days of King Herod," describing our nations' circumstances very well.

"Partnering with unbelief diminishes influence. Partnering with truth and God's voice increases influence."

Certainly there is an abortive, murderous spirit that is attempting to annihilate a generation and abort God's promises in every way possible before unprecedented harvest can break out fully. The intercessory cry of God's people arises and the nations are prophetically poised for accelerated change. There is a kairos moment upon the Body for a new wineskin, a due season of fulfilled promise, a new era of justice, and an unprecedented harvest breaking in. We equally see the evil agenda of the enemy blatantly and openly attacking all that is pure and righteous to silence God's people and squash hope.

Zechariah's Unbelief

It was into this charged atmosphere 2,000 years ago, that Zechariah heard an angel tell him that his long-held prayer for a child was to be answered, and that his son would be a pioneer of hope to God's people of a new day dawning. God was stepping in and birthing change and hope where His people had felt desperate for breakthrough. All that had been before was merely preparation for what would now play out among God's people. Redemption, restoration, healing, rescue, grace and a new, miraculous season of hope fulfilled...this was upon the Bride. Jesus would change everything, and John would announce the new day. The prophesies of old were culminating into a kairos moment of God literally breaking in.

Sadly, despite Zechariah praying for a child for many years, when an angel finally announced the miracle, he didn't believe it. Gabriel, the angel, came from the very presence of God (meaning that the angel carried the weighty glory and tangible presence of God) and interrupted Zechariah's life and ministry to tell him a new day was upon him. Unfortunately, he didn't believe what God told him, and he didn't attach faith to his long-awaited miracle moment which had finally come.

The angel announcing the child's name as John caused challenges for Zechariah, because to give his son a name that wasn't a family name essentially was saying his child wouldn't follow in his steps, traditions and job, but would be set apart and unique. This, no doubt, was a lot to take in.

However, what is perhaps more profound is that Scripture records that Gabriel, the angel, silences Zechariah's voice because He didn't believe what God was saying to him from His presence. God was very clear, and because of unbelief, Zechariah lost his voice, and his influence was severely inhibited and limited. To God, it was important that he recognize His presence and believe what was announced, regardless of what was being said (I think this is big).

What Has Unbelief Cost Us?

I wonder how much our influence, corporately, is limited by unbelief and not partnering with what the Lord is trumpeting out? I wonder how much our voices are inhibited by not believing what God says? I wonder how much we have missed by trivializing or not recognizing God's manifest presence or His voice to us from an encounter?

It is important to note that God called the baby—Zachariah and Elizabeth's miracle child—John. As noted already, this was not a family, traditional, or expected name to use, and certainly didn't follow any previous expectations or precedents set for naming a child in their family. It was totally a new thing. For whatever reason, it didn't fit in the box of the expected or status quo, and it certainly set their child free from traditional expectation of following in his father's footsteps. This was important, as the destiny of John was to decree a new day, a message that would break from the religious status quo, announcing the arrival of the Messiah Jesus, and that everything would now be different.

The angel said, "Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to call him John" (Luke 1:13). This was an announcement of the birthing of a miracle. But it was also the announcement of change. This child wouldn't be named after what had been before; he was to be named by what God was currently releasing and doing...something new, something unique and purposed for the time they found themselves in. They hadn't been this way before, and so what God was birthing was also new and masterfully designed for that season. This child, who prophetically trumpeted a new generation of wild Believers and an era of grace, needed to carry a name that identified the freshness of what God was birthing.

Silence vs Unbelief

John, who's name means "Jehovah is gracious," embodied all God was releasing. The way maker and preparer of a generation for the greatest harvest the nations had yet seen, and the birth of Jesus—the Savior of all mankind—was being announced. This was not just any birth, this was a new era of salvation upon the nations. This required those around the birth to believe what God was saying and doing and partner in faith with Him. It would seem that silence was more preferable than unbelief around the birth of the new. Be found as a voice of life and faith in due-season moments. Be found as a voice that speaks life over what God is speaking life over.

(Note: There are many things God is doing, and right now it would seem clear that one issue close to His heart is supporting life for the unborn. The Gospel requires boldness, and silence is partnering with the enemy. This is an issue where corporate silence is no longer appropriate. Silence has affected the corporate influence of the Church. Unbelief in God's Word and intimidation are being highlighted, and fresh grace to stand with truth and life is being released. Anointed courage is being awakened. A new breed of grace-releasing, yet fierce Kingdom activists are arising.)

God is Giving His People Their Voice Back

It's at the birth of John the Baptist, Scripture tells us, that Elizabeth, his mum, wanted to call him John, but those gathered around—no doubt family and the community—didn't agree, and voiced their disapproval loudly over such a name being chosen.

Today, we often find ourselves in similar circumstances where many voice their loud disapproval of God's Word and what He is saying.

As John the Baptist was born, and the family and friends gathered, disapproving of the chosen name, Zechariah, with great determination, found the only way available to him to communicate, which was writing on a tablet. He made sure he got God's word heard, and silenced the disapproving voices by stating, "His name is John." This cut through the noise and released God's heart.

"There is a kairos moment upon the Body for a new wineskin, a due season of fulfilled promise, a new era of justice, and an unprecedented harvest breaking in."

It was right in this moment, the moment of directly combating other voices that misidentified what God was doing and disputed His word, that Zechariah got his voice back! God is similarly giving His people back their voices in this hour! The shackles are coming off!

Influence and Courage Amplified

Zechariah used what was available to him to agree with what God was saying and speak God's word into the season. Immediately he got his voice back! INFLUENCE WAS AMPLIFIED WHEN ZECHARIAH SPOKE OUT.

Zechariah boldly spoke out to the disapproving crowd, and made sure what God wanted was heard and done. The child was to be called John. What the loud voices of the community were saying was contrary to God's word, despite perhaps being well meant. It was in this moment of anointed courage, this moment of speaking out, this moment of decreeing God's word that influence was restored, increased and amplified on Zechariah. The restriction and limitation on his voice was broken as unbelief was rejected and belief in God was restored.

The voice of INFLUENCE is coming on the prophetic voices of the nations, pioneers birthing new movements, and the Church in an accelerated onslaught. Anointed courage will be heard speaking to and into current, challenging conversations that need God's word to correctly identify the issue, and speak God's heart and truth into the matter. The enemy has entrapped a people to think that speaking out will diminish their voice and influence. The opposite is true.

Partnering with unbelief diminishes influence. Partnering with truth and God's voice increases influence.

Silence is loud, and diminishes influence. Remaining silent or not believing or obeying God's word will diminish influence and effectively silence many called voices. Speaking out with anointed courage what God is saying will amplify and increase influence. Yes, there will no doubt be forms of persecution, but persecution will come regardless if we speak or don't speak. Speaking anointed courage will shift and re-shape history. History waits to be re-written by bold courage. The enemy is counting on our silence. Silence is the enemy of accelerated God-change.

Inaction and Complacency

Inaction and complacency rob nations. This is not a call to anger, it is a call to grace and God-inspired solutions. This is not a call to obnoxiousness. It is a call to daring courage to stand with truth and the heart of God. Inaction has stolen much from the Church and the nations. Complacency robs nations of Kingdom solutions and salvation.

Be found speaking and partnering with truth and what God is doing on the earth. As the Body speaks with anointed courage, our voice will again be heard in the current conversations requiring Kingdom solutions. Influence will increase to speak into hearts and lives with relevant solutions, inspired revelation and life-giving, kairos wisdom to pressing issues.

Intimidation is breaking as bold courage inspires and awakens a people to believe, speak and act on what God is saying. There are those who loudly disagree and attack, but the baby must be called John. This season must have anointed voices of truth speaking exactly what God is saying and not changing the message because of unbelief or because of fear of God doing something new.

Influence is Being Added Where Courage is Being Activated

The Church is arising from intimidation and attack intended to silence and abort destiny, into a season of daring courage to speak and enter into a new, spectacular harvest. Fear of man is being broken. Any partnerships with unbelief are being highlighted and evicted, and bold faith is arising. The Bride is breaking free of unbelief and intimidation that has fiercely assaulted and squashed her voice, and our collective and individual voice is being unshackled and unleashed. Influence is being added where anointed courage is being activated.

Anointed Courage Will Shift History

Courage is on the rise! A new breed of daring is upon us. BE READY FOR A SPIRIT OF BOLDNESS AND MIGHT TO COME UPON YOU. ASK FOR A SPIRIT OF BOLDNESS AND MIGHT TO COME UPON YOU. You will arise in new boldness as anointed courage comes upon you for Kingdom exploits. Unprecedented harvest is breaking out and you are anointed, appointed and called into such a time as NOW. Your anointed courage is shifting history. (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

From the Desk of Steve Shultz:

God is activating us, His people, for the new plans He has ahead of us. This is an excellent word about the landscape changing to make room for our God.

Amie Rogers shares:

God says, "Get ready for a new language to hit your lips; your tongue will utter new sounds only heard in Heaven. This new sound will vibrate throughout Earth and bring breakthrough and freedom in ways you've never seen. Open your eyes, and they will see more clearly and further than they ever have. The blockages are being removed; your waiting for My move has shifted more than you've seen. I am anointing you with fresh oil from My throne room. Get up and go! I am leading you!"

Amen...be confident that He IS leading you!

*************************************

"The Landscape is Changing - Redemption, Restoration and Revelation Coming Your Way" Amie Rogers, Peoria, IL

"May the Lord, the God of your ancestors, increase you a thousand times and bless you as He has promised." (Deut. 1:11 NIV)

We are about to witness Heaven's manifestations here on this earth in ways we never have before. I heard 1 Cor. 2:9 booming loudly, "What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived – the things God has prepared for those who love Him..."

Stop Limiting Heaven

What we see manifest over the declarations of "Harvest" and "Revival" will be like nothing in history. The Lord says, "Do not put Me in a box!" We have to stop limiting Heaven's manifestations to our finite imaginations. I also felt this to be true over prayers that have appeared to go unanswered. The prayers that have been spoken and wept through for many years are being brought to the forefront.

Justice and authority will be intensifying and unfolding in previously unmovable circumstances, leaving those affected by it testifying, "Only God..." There will be victory in long-fought battles and barren desert places SUDDENLY pouring forth fruitfulness. You will also be walking out of your old identities, long-standing situations and hindrances – all the things that were blocking you, slowing you down or holding you up will be moved!

I have continually heard, "Changing the landscape" in my spirit. I sense this is just as multi-faceted as our heavenly Father. This will mean something different for each one of you. But, I felt strongly to speak on two things.

Landscape Change

I believe this "landscape change" will be physical moves and transfers to new locations. I have continually seen moving trucks in places I don't normally see them. Unusual transitions are taking place right now and will continue as the Lord is moving each of us strategically. I also felt to say that most of them might feel ill-timed and uncertain. But know this truth: God's movements and timing are perfect. The feelings of uncertainty will instantly fade the moment you say, "Yes" and take that first step of faith forward. Trust Him.

"I know that You can do all things, and that no purpose of Yours can be thwarted." (Job 42:2 NIV)

The other "landscape change" I felt very strongly about is the changing in the way we are "doing business." This could be your actual business, your ministry, your finances and your life. However you have been currently walking in your purpose will be changing. This falls under the old versus the new. What was working for you will cease to work. It's time to step into the new! Again, it may feel awkward and uncertain at first, but there is an upgrade and expansion that is coming with this. Trust and continually give Him your "Yes"!

"But the land you are crossing the Jordan to take possession of is a land of mountains and valleys that drinks rain from Heaven. It is a land the Lord your God cares for; the eyes of the Lord your God are continually on it from the beginning of the year to its end." (Deut. 11:11-12 NIV)

A Mighty, Rushing Wind

In all this new, we cannot leave out or forget our quiet seeking and waiting on God. No matter what is or is not happening, we have to be waiting and listening for Him. The Lord says, "In My 'Upper Room' people are about to experience a new and fresh wave of My Spirit (Acts 2:2-4,11-12). Get ready to feel My mighty, rushing wind from Heaven. It will seem to come from nowhere! Feel it blow over you and fill you.

God says, "Get ready for a new language to hit your lips; your tongue will utter new sounds only heard in Heaven. This new sound will vibrate throughout Earth and bring breakthrough and freedom in ways you've never seen. Open your eyes, and they will see more clearly and further than they ever have. The blockages are being removed; your waiting for My move has shifted more than you've seen. I am anointing you with fresh oil from My throne room. Get up and go! I am leading you!"

Stop sitting in beautiful places (Acts 3:1-10), begging for things you already posses. Take hold of His hand and stand to your feet. Declare of His goodness and all He has brought you out of. You are healed; you are prosperous in so many ways.

"I Am Redeeming Dreams"

I saw golden oil being poured out from Heaven and as I saw this flowing down, it was landing on peoples' heads and hands. Then I heard the Lord say, "I am redeeming dreams."
I immediately was reminded of a dream I had when I was about sixteen years old and had walked away from God. In this dream, I was six years old (the age when I first gave my life to Christ). I was walking with Jesus in Heaven. I still remember, vividly, the golden streets, the indescribable colors, His face; everything.

I was holding His hand as we walked to this bridge. As we stood in the middle of the bridge, looking out at the crystal-clear sea, this very dark, slimy, gross creature walked up to us. It told me someone wanted to see me. At that moment, I let go of Jesus' hand, took the hand of the creature and began to walk. As we walked down the other side of the bridge, it went from golden streets to a dark, wet and moldy looking cobblestone one. I also changed from my innocent, six-year-old self, to the current age I was. The dream got darker from there, which I won't continue on.

About a year ago, I had this same dream. I was walking with Jesus in Heaven. Again, the same scenery, but I was the age I am now. I wasn't holding Jesus' hand, but holding tightly and hugging His arm, resting my head on His shoulder. Again, we walked to this bridge; we looked out and then continued to walk down the other side. As we continued forward, conversing, an angel came up to us and placed two, large diamonds in my hand. The diamonds were so large I could barely hold them.

"You, Lord, took up my case; You redeemed my life." (Lam. 3:58 NIV)

I share these to tell you, He is not only redeeming our dreams, but He is bringing healing, restoration and revelation to you in this redemption! I felt led to share this specific dream because I believe the revelation in the new dream is for some of you. The number two can represent a number of things. It can represent our testimony, a reward, a multiplication, keys and/or a double portion. Many of you have been asking the Lord for these things – you desire to testify of His goodness in your specific situations. This is His answer and promise to you!

Diamond, in the Greek language, is "adamas" and it means "unconquerable." Many of you have felt defeated, overwhelmed, bent under all the pressure, but the Lord is calling you His adamas. In Him and with Him, you are unconquerable!

When diamonds are examined, the examiners looks at their cut, their color, their clarity and their carat weight. Your cut has been done by Heaven and is to Heaven's perfect standards. Your color is clear and flawless. Your clarity is unique and according to Heaven, without blemish. Your carat carries the weight of Heaven. Everywhere you go, His light is shining through you – you are a gift to Him, you are a gift to others from Him. You are a carrier of His glory and you are of high value!

Get ready! "...You are My servant, Israel, in whom I will show My glory." (Is. 49:3 NASB)
"The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of His being, sustaining all things by His powerful Word. After He had provided purification for sins, He sat down at the right hand of the majesty in Heaven." (Heb. 1:3 NIV)
