“And if My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” 2 Chronicles 7:14

Shabbat shalom dearly beloved:

In many places of the world there is a heart cry for REVIVAL. The collapsing world finances, the Global Warming, global terror, the universal breakdown and lack of righteous leadership, the gross immorality and corruption and of course the dryness of the Church has caused many to realize that unless there is a serious intervention of Heaven we will not survive this decade! I’ll never forget when we stopped in Holland for a few hours and took a guided tour of Amsterdam around two years ago. The guide said that due to global warming all of Amsterdam will disappear under the water in less than 10 years! Vivid in my memory is the 2004 Tsunami disaster of which thousands have still not recovered or the horrible nightmare of Katrina that left so many destitute families!

We are truly in the Days of Noah!

"For the coming of the Son of Man will be just like the days of Noah. "For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and they did not understand until the flood came and took them all away; so will the coming of the Son of Man be.”  Matthew 24:37-39

I still remember when I asked the Holy Spirit after the Tsunami hit in the Far East and over 500.000 people died, what is happening? Abba who is also the Judge of the Universe said: I am stopping the world, it is too busy and it can’t hear me! We live in a hyperactive world in every way. The problem is that if we don’t STOP all of our hyperactivity we are heading towards a total disaster. Since we have arrived to the USA 10 days ago, the only thing that you hear about in the news is about the many storms, tornadoes and floods around the country in many States and about the dangerous collapse of the $$$, the overinflated price of oil and the dangerous financial inflation. The terrible storms in the Philippines have been killing many and leaving many homeless! On the other hand Israel is going through yet another devastating drought. The water level of the Kinneret (Sea of Galilee) is fast approaching the black line where pumping of water into the National Water Carrier is impossible! That may leave 50% of the country in water shortage.

Yet it seems to be that humanity is continuing “business as usual” in absolute denial that it’s heading for a greater and greater disaster UNLESS there is a serious outpouring of grace from Heaven! The two major issues that are plaguing humanity is gross, unashamed immorality and a defiant spirit concerning Yah’s Covenant with Israel. Immediately after the last visit of Mrs. Rice and President Bush to Israel the $$$ was greatly devalued! The moment that Elohim’s Covenant and Will is devalued also the $$$ is devalued! It is extremely dangerous to be in defiance concerning His perfect will to restore Israel to all of the Land promised to Abraham!

“Why are the nations in an uproar and the peoples devising a vain thing? The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers take counsel together against YHVH and against His Anointed, saying, "Let us tear their fetters apart and cast away their cords from us!"  He who sits in the heavens laughs, the Lord scoffs at them. Then He will speak to them in His anger and terrify them in His fury, saying,”  Psalms 2:1-5

In the midst of it: Where is the Church? For the most part scattered and confused. Large portions are so disconnected from Israel and the Jewish Roots of the Faith that do not understand what is really happening. Many people are in a daze and many are hungry and thirsty for revival. There are signs of outpourings in Florida and other places and a desire for the miraculous is rising. However it is extremely important to realize what REVIVAL really is. True revivals start with an AWAKENING! Awakening to the fact that our condition is totally hopeless unless we have a Divine Intervention of Mercy: Our heart cry should be “In judgment remember mercy!” Occurrences of healings and miracles are to be greatly desired but not instead or by passing the subject of REPENTANCE! There can be no revival without brokenness and repentance that leads to a radical lifestyle of righteousness, holiness and the Fear of YHVH. Both Biblical History of Revivals and the Modern Day History show us that what has always preceded true impacting revivals is that awakening to our condition and a Godly sorrow that leads to brokenness, repentance and a deep heart cry!

"Therefore repent and return, so that your sins may be wiped away, in order that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord; and that He may send Yeshua, the Messiah appointed for you, whom heaven must receive until the period of restoration of all things about which God spoke by the mouth of His holy prophets from ancient time.”  Acts 3:19-21

The word REPENTANCE has to be heard throughout the Church world- wide! Without this humility, this brokenness and this HEART CRY there will be no true revival. We are all called to minister healing to the sick but when the Divine Intervention comes entire cities are transformed! If there is a heart cry for revival in us, this heart cry will lead us to brokenness and repentance and an outburst of righteousness and holiness. Then we will impact our society, cities and nations with the true Gospel of the Kingdom made in Zion accompanied with signs, wonders and miracles!

“Now in those days John the Baptist came, preaching in the wilderness of Judea, saying, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."  Matthew 3:1-2

 More than anything this particular End Time Revival is thoroughly connected with the Restoration of Israel and the URGENT CALL for the Bride to come back to the Hebrew Foundations of Faith. It is a matter of life and death!

“For if their rejection is the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?”  Romans 11:15
