Boqer Or (Good Morning Light)!
Shalom Fellow Vertical Warriors,
There is a new flow of revelation coming from Scriptures this last
week and I hope you have been challenged and nourished by this series
of EMM’s titled, Your Break Out. Even
though we are in a major operation to raise finances for the new thing
in Israel, this really is not my main motivation for writing to you!
Honestly, I’m much more excited about seeing your break out and
walking with you’ all through this new door as your Desert
Shepherd Warrior guide… more than anything else. God is just using
this current financial need for us all to mesh closer and vent our faith
and generosity towards a physical base of real estate, that is bringing
us up into a much greater revelation of Himself. This is the bottom-line
reason for our repeated flow of emails to you’ all…. Now
are you ready for some more re-calibration into His perfect will that
many have not noticed in this materialistic age we live in? Let’s
go for it!
In the theme chapters of 2 Corinthians 8 and 9 we have seen the Apostle
Paul using the unique outpouring of grace given to the Macedonian churches
to provoke the Corinthian church to a new level of service for the collection.
“But just as you abound in everything, in faith and utterance
and knowledge and in all earnestness and in the love we inspired in
you, see that you abound in this gracious work also. I am not speaking
this as a command, but as proving through the earnestness of others
the sincerity of your love also. For you know the grace of our Lord
Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sake He became
poor, so that you through His poverty might become rich. I give my opinion in this matter, for this is to your advantage, who
were the first to begin a year ago not only to do this, but also to
desire to do it. But now finish doing it also, so that just as there
was the readiness to desire it, so there may be also the completion
of it by your ability. For if the readiness is present, it is acceptable
according to what a person has, not according to what he does not
have.” 2 Corithians 8:1-4 NASB
What is so interesting here is this-
- Paul says the believers at Corinth are
actually excelling and overflowing with unique spiritual endowments
(read 1
Cor. 12-14 for background).
- They are endowed with wonder-working faith
(1
Cor. 12:9-10; 13:2).
- They are endowed with tremendous oracle
and utterance abilities (1Cor. 1:5,7).
- They are even endowed with sharp spiritual
perceptiveness of the highest degree.
- And they are motivated in this by a whole-hearted
enthusiasm and Godly love!
However, even with all these endowments and superlative enrichments
from heaven, Paul still launches an appeal for an equal lavishness and
zeal in their grace of giving! He wants them to match their giftedness
with LAVISH GIVING!
Dear warriors, this is also a very deep 911 warning to all of us
in this hour. Just sit back and let’s audit our hearts and lives
right now. There is such a drive today in the Western Spirit-filled
churches to get you into your calling. To activate your prophetic destiny. To interpret your night dreams and visions. To see personalized miracles
and supernatural phenomena. To know your angel. To receive your break
through… (I could go on and on)!
BUT WHAT ABOUT GETTING ENDOWED WITH A NEW GENERSOITY TO GIVE LAVISHLY
TO THE JEWISH BELIVERS IN ISRAEL (see Your Break Out
Part 3)!
Paul is using the example of the Macedonian believers enthusiastic
begging to give as a benchmark to bring these highly spiritually
gifted Corinthian believers into a true love of Agape! Could this also
be why the love of many is waxing cold in these last days and it is
because the shepherds are over emphasizing spiritual encounters and
not a lavish generosity to give! (You know, I have met the last
10 years some very spiritually endowed people in the “river and
renewal” movement, but some of them are also very mean and unloving..and
will betray you at a drop of the hat to promote their own “ministry”!)
Think about this now in the macro overview of the famous love chapter
known by all believers as “I
Cor. 13”. Could this walking in love and not just speaking
in tongues like a clanging symbol is actually related to our generosity
to the Jewish believers in Israel?! Study it out dear warriors! Eagerly
desiring to prophesy (ch.
14) and do this in sync with the love walk (ch.13)
is not completed in our Christian character until we unleash it towards
the Jewish believers in Israel! This is the macro context of the entire
writing of Paul here!!!
And let us take this one step further…The Lord Jesus became poor
that we could become rich…don’t think about only material
things…it is a richness of generosity and extravagant giving that
Paul is pointing us towards by the wonderful Holy Ghost! And this love
walk reaches it’s highest climax in this life by how generous
we are to help the Jewish people!
- We have too much emphasis today on miracles.
- We have too much emphasis today on prophetic
utterances.
- We have too much emphasis today on spiritual
discernment and mystical phenomena.
- We have too much emphasis today on just loving each other in
our own spiritual circles.
WE NEED TO BE RECALIBRATED TOWARDS THE MACRO VIEW OF RECIEVING A GRACE
AND GENEORISTY FROM HEAVEN FOR HELPING THE JEWISH PEOPLE FOR WHOM PAUL
IS WILLING TO LOSE HIS SALVATION FOR (see
Romans 9-11)! THIS IS THE TRUE LOVE PAUL IS WANTING US TO YEARN
FOR!
You and I are going to be spiritually enriched like never before by
allowing His lavish cross-like generosity to rise up within us! This
is why I’m so excited about preaching this new level of generosity
to you our friends! It is the key to your break out!!!!
Do this now…
- Look to the Cross and how much Jesus has already
done for us and then let that same grace and generosity begin to vent
from your heart and soul. It is not soulish but a supernatural flow!
- Purpose now to give all out to lavishly help
the Jewish people…to the point of begging!
- Then follow thru lavishly and give to this collection
we have made known to you.
- It does not matter the amount…what matters
is your willingness.
- Give now and do it cheerfully by faith and relinquish
fear and covetousness.
- Praise and worship Him for giving you the privilege
and honor to give like this to the Jewish believers.
- Continue here on out to match your zeal for spiritual
gifts and the manifestation of the glory realm to be equal in terms
of your lavish and generous giving.
Our needs for Israel is listed below and now let that same zeal you
have had for spiritual gifts, the river of God, and revival be directed
towards lavishly helping us. We can together do this (who else do you
know that are Jewish believers, Israeli citizens, and are taking on terrorism?)!
Don’t look at this need for us in Israel as a burden…but
as a great opportunity to enter in at the ground floor level to the
new thing in Israel! Be thankful that you met us and are getting our
emails…it was God’s divine providence that he orchestrated
before the world began. It is not about us…we are nothing, it
is all about God giving you the right place to plant lavishly to plant
your precious seed at this time!
In His service for your faith,
Scott and Dalit
