Reconnections. They are Happening.
Steve Martin
“Therefore, say that Adonai Elohim says this: ‘True, I removed them far away among the nations and scattered them among the countries; nevertheless, I have been a little sanctuary for them in the countries to which they have gone.’ Therefore, say that Adonai Elohim says this: ‘“I will gather you from the peoples and collect you from the countries where you have been scattered, and I will give the land of Isra’el to you.” (Ezekiel 11:16-18, Complete Jewish Bible)
In these last days (which I firmly believe we are in) the Lord Himself is bringing back His people from all over the world, those who have been living outside of Israel, the Diaspora, to their promised land. It is known as aliyah. Jews are returning to that which is rightfully theirs.
Our ministry, Love For His People, is a strong supporter of this movement, this regathering.
The Bible is clear about how the Almighty God fulfills His purposes and plans. If you want to know what He is doing in the Church, the Body of Christ, then watch what He is doing in and for Israel. As He brings His people back together there, to serve and fulfill His end-time prophetic words, so too He is bringing back His broken body, those who also have been scattered, the Church here on earth.
For a time, these two actions on His part may have seemed far apart, with no connections between them, but now we can truly see them as one. The overall big plan.
To the Jewish people, the Lord God of Israel had His prophets proclaim this day we are now seeing, several centuries before. “Again He said to me, "Prophesy over these bones and say to them, 'O dry bones, hear the word of the Lord.' "Thus says the Lord God to these bones, 'Behold, I will cause breath to enter you that you may come to life. 'I will put sinews on you, make flesh grow back on you, cover you with skin and put breath in you that you may come alive; and you will know that I am the Lord.'" (Ezekiel 37:4-6, NASU)
The Jews are coming home. Open your eyes and see it being manifested right before us.
He is reconnecting these that have been separated over these many, many years. The Lord is the main Reconnector. From the first century, when the scattering occurred in 70 A.D. from Jerusalem, Israel, through our time we are now living in, nothing anymore will keep His broken body from coming back together.
Watching the Jews return to Israel is an awesome scene. Knowing many there that have already is even better.
So too it is so with believing Gentiles. I see it happening. I see the Lord, as if conducting a very large symphony, orchestrating the move of this person and that person, from all nations of the world, being joined back to the Life Source, bringing about His end of days plans that were long ago prophesied.
As it is happening in Israel, so too the Lord is bringing back His saved ones who once had fellowship together – in churches, congregations, small groups, whatever. I see Him reconnecting lost friends and families, regathering them as before. His heart is to rescue, deliver, restore, and re-join the arms, the legs, the feet, the entire body, back to the Head, Who is Jesus Christ, Yeshua HaMashiach. Once separated, now together again.
Thus, the One New Man, believing Jews and Gentiles together, will be raised up and become as one. His one Body of Messiah is being restored.
“Christ brought us together through his death on the Cross. The Cross got us to embrace, and that was the end of the hostility. Christ came and preached peace to you outsiders and peace to us insiders. He treated us as equals, and so made us equals. Through him we both share the same Spirit and have equal access to the Father.
That's plain enough, isn't it? You're no longer wandering exiles. This kingdom of faith is now your home country. You're no longer strangers or outsiders. You belong here, with as much right to the name Christian as anyone. God is building a home. He's using us all — irrespective of how we got here — in what he is building. He used the apostles and prophets for the foundation. Now he's using you, fitting you in brick by brick, stone by stone, with Christ Jesus as the cornerstone that holds all the parts together. We see it taking shape day after day — a holy temple built by God, all of us built into it, a temple in which God is quite at home.” (Ephesians 2:16-22, THE MESSAGE)
My long-time prayer has been to see former friends and families joined back together in true fellowship. Where once had been hurt and break-up, causing the dismembership of churches and relationships, our loving God is restoring, renewing, reclaiming, and reconnecting.
My heart is excited as I see long-time friends, even from 20 years ago, rejoining in the local churches, to once again serve together in harmony, friendship, and having active “Jesus” life that our Father has so longed to see. He is sending His Holy Spirit among the ones once off wandering, to bring them back together again. It is an awesome time to see and experience. He is an Awesome God Whom we serve.
If you had been, and still are, separated from that which once gave you life, ask Him again for the spiritual healing in your heart, and renewing in your broken spirit. He will restore you. He will reconnect you. That is His heart, and He wants to see you brought back into the fold.
We welcome you, be ye Jew or Gentile. This is the reconnection time all over the earth. Come back. Get reconnected.
Shalom and ahava (peace and love in Hebrew).
