As I watched the eye-popping extravaganza of flags from the nations of the world, only one thought kept reverberating through my spirit: "What if all these flags were waving, not to commemorate a worldwide sports event in Russia, but rather a procession of nations streaming into Jerusalem?"
I will also bless the Gentiles who commit themselves to the LORD and serve Him and love His Name, who worship Him and do not desecrate the Sabbath day of rest, and who have accepted His covenant. I will bring them also to My holy mountain of Jerusalem and will fill them with joy in my house of prayer. I will accept their burnt offerings and sacrifices, because my Temple will be called a house of prayer for all nations. For the Sovereign Lord, who brings back the outcasts of Israel says: I will bring others too, besides My people Israel." (Isaiah 56:6-8 NLT)
Watching this huge Olympic procession of nations, I envisioned this Scripture coming to pass. In the Spirit I could see them - the "outcasts of Israel," the scattered ones, the Russians, the Asians, the Africans, the Europeans, the Americans - those who have committed themselves to the Holy One of Israel and who have come into covenant with Him! Our gracious God opens His Temple on the mountain of Jerusalem to the nations on that Day, and proclaims it to be "a house of prayer for all nations."
This vision was especially meaningful to me today after hearing the inspiring message from Ari Abramowitz. He is a Jewish Rabbi and former I.D.F. Commander, well known in the state of Israel; and this morning he touched me deeply when speaking about the building of the third Temple in Jerusalem. His words: "I see this Temple as God sees it - as a 'house of prayer for all nations.' And I am praying for all of you to be right there with us!"
It was the elder brother welcoming the younger brother home. It was Judah holding out his arms to Ephraim. It was the vision of the LORD Himself, who welcomes all who serve Him, love His name, and worship Him alone.
May all the flags of the nations soon be streaming in a far greater procession toward Jerusalem - where we will all be ONE NATION under ONE KING! And I will make a covenant of peace with them, an everlasting covenant. I will give them their land and multiply them, and I will put my Temple among them forever. I will make my home among them. I will be their God, and they will be my people. And since my Temple will remain among them forever, the nations will know that I, the LORD, have set Israel apart for Myself to be holy." (Ezekiel 37:26-28 NLT)

Wait for His Best
We flew to northern California January 30th to lead a retreat weekend, and the Holy Spirit showed up in great power. It was an amazing time and John was really moving in the Spirit. But when we flew back into the Denver airport, we both started coughing and realized we had picked up something on the trip. Because John's ribs were broken from the prolonged CPR compressions, it was too painful to cough, and after a week of battling this flu, pneumonia set in. I had the flu also and it was unlike any I've experienced before, taking a good ten days to begin to subside. Given the amazing doors that have opened for us to minister in Israel March 4-24, it seems the enemy really does want to take us out! We are on the mend and we appreciate your prayers.
I thought many of you out there might benefit again from my Hot Sauce Detox recipe. It is strong and powerful enough to kill any of these new, mutating viruses, and it is all-natural. Warning: it is not for the timid! It really works, but if you or your children cannot tolerate something extremely spicy, I also recommend a wonderful product called Virattack. It is totally herbal and it completely kicked the flu my grandchildren were experiencing, both intestinal and respiratory! It's available on vitacost.com.
Detox Recipe: 1 Gallon
1/3 c. curry powder
1/3 lb. fresh jalapenos or habanero peppers, chopped fine
1 cup cayenne pepper
1 head garlic, fresh, chopped fine
1/3 cup red hot pepper seeds
6 oz. myrrh gum powder dissolved or 6 drops myrrh oil
11 cups Vodka (or brandy)
3 cups Colloidal silver water
2 oz. Celtic salt
It works best if you put it in batches into a blender so the chopped peppers become liquid. Then pour into a one gallon jar, stir daily for 14 days. Keep in a DARK place.
Directions: Take 1 tsp. mixed into tomato juice, vegetable juice or beer, once or twice a day for maintenance. If acutely sick, take every two hours, then three times a day until well.
(Note: It has never taken any of us more than 48 hours to get well on this!)
Lastly: a word Father has been putting on my heart the past two days. Many of us have been asking Him for something that is the desire of our hearts. It is not a lusting after something, or wanting something to satisfy our flesh; it is actually a desire that is pleasing to Father. But we don't have patience to wait for it. We run ahead of Him - and when we do this, we settle for less than He wanted to give us. Sometimes Father will sigh and open the door for His child and say, "All right, if you really think you want this, go ahead. I give it to you." And it is far less than HE wanted to bestow on us, but we wouldn't wait for His best. John and I are learning this lesson first-hand right now, and praise God, I think we passed the test. We almost settled for the small morsel yesterday, but I wasn't able to sleep all night last night and had absolutely no peace. I knew I was outside His will; and when John awoke and we discussed the matter he heard the Spirit whisper, "Thanks for waiting for My best. This wasn't My best!"
If you have been waiting a long time for something, don't give up on Him. Wait for His best! I believe He is going to delight to give all His children better gifts than we ever asked for or imagined - but it has to be in HIS perfect time.
Shabbat Shalom - and be well!
Isa. 40:31: Those who wait on the LORD shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings as eagles. They shall run and not be weary. They shall walk and not faint.
