- If My people... - 05/28/2022

 

This is a word laid heavily upon my heart this morning as I am re-reading the Torah Portion from Leviticus chapter 26. 

Lev 26:40 ‘But if they confess their crookedness and the crookedness of their fathers, with their trespass in which they trespassed against Me, and that they also have walked contrary to Me,

Lev 26:41 and that I also have walked contrary to them and have brought them into the land of their enemies – if their uncircumcised heart is then humbled, and they accept the punishment of their crookedness,

Lev 26:42 then I shall remember My covenant with Yaʽaqoḇ, and also My covenant with Yitsḥaq, and also remember My covenant with Aḇraham, and remember the land.

Then He gave me a few words:

He imparted to me that we do not have a gun problem or a political problem, but that we have a SIN problem!  We have a problem with repentance as His people! 

He then spoke to me and said, "My people are not repenting, so I am not relenting." 

Beloved, we need Daniel 9:1-21, Esther 4:1-4, Leviticus 26:40-42, Joel 2:12-17, 2 Chronicles 7:14  

Where are the Priests? Where are the weeping Prophets? Where are those weeping over the abominations we as a people have committed? 

The Word is clear, we have a duty and job to do, but we are not doing it! 

2Ch 7:13  “If I shut up the heavens and there is no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among My people, 

2Ch 7:14  and My people upon whom My Name is called, shall humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their evil ways, then I shall hear from the heavens, and forgive their sin and heal their land. 

If I shut up the heavens and there is no rain, or send locusts or pestilence among My people... 

Then our response as HIS people (Yisrael) the 12 Tribes scattered abroad who are called by HIS Name.

Will Humble THEMSELVES and PRAY, SEEK MY FACE, and TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS!

THEN! I will hear from Heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land! 

Are you not HIS PEOPLE? 

Have you not been called by His Name?  Did He not reveal it to you? 

Yet we have not humbled OURSELVES, we are not praying, we are not seeking His face, nor are we turning from our wicked ways! 

We are still posting, talking about, debating, and arguing about WORTHLESS topics which cause nothing but division in His Body of Messiah. 

As His people, we have a job to do! 

Our King is calling upon us to partner with Him and fulfill our duty. 

What will be our response? I pray that it's wholeheartedness

Joe 2:12 “Yet even now,” declares יהוה, “turn to Me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning.”

Joe 2:13 And tear your heart and not your garments, and turn back to יהוה your Elohim, for He shows favor and is compassionate, patient, and of great kindness, and He shall relent concerning the evil.

Joe 2:14 Who knows – He might turn and relent, and leave a blessing behind Him, a grain offering and a drink offering for יהוה your Elohim?

Joe 2:15 Blow a ram’s horn in Tsiyon, set apart a fast, call an assembly.

Joe 2:16 Gather the people, set the assembly apart, assemble the elders, gather the children and nursing babes. Let a bridegroom come out from his room, and a bride from her dressing room.

Joe 2:17 Let the priests, servants of יהוה, weep between the porch and the altar. And let them say, “Spare Your people, O יהוה, and do not give Your inheritance to reproach, for the gentiles to rule over them. Why should they say among the peoples, ‘Where is their Elohim?’ ”
