This Encounter you are about to read about was some months ago …BUT recently The Lord has brought me back to it …For such a time as this…
I have been challenged by our Lord God like never before…Again I am still reeling from this Encounter. I never knew I had such a heart for Israel but, I found I really do .
I was caught up in the Spirit.. I had a catching away so to speak .
While I was just meditating on the goodness of GOD.
It was in the early morning I do not know if it was a dream or an event.. BUT the impact has resonated through me and I pray it will you as well.
I was in that secret place, where I knew I could hear God when suddenly I was taken by the Presence to a far away place.
I actually felt myself soaring in the atmosphere moving at a fast pace.
Suddenly I found myself standing out side what looked like a stone hut.
That is what it looked like to me as if a home as made out of a wall..
The Presence spoke to me saying “look inside tell me what you see.”
I looked through the open door I saw a woman who was lying on a very shallow bed close to the floor I saw by that bed a man saying With tears in His eyes “I don’t know what will happen if the Americans don’t come“. I heard the women say “Yes dear its true ..”
She as comforting him. The baby was a little girl she was in a bed looking like a basket.
Inside the home was a small boy perhaps about five years of age.
He ran past me out the door ….like boys do….
The Presence said “look again what do you see..”
I turned my head to the left and I saw a bowl.
It was a wooden bowl it looked very old and cracked. It looked like a bread bowl It had a place of prominence I thought how odd its on a pedestal.
It must have been in the family a long time I thought.
I thought, I sensing hunger perhaps this family was poor and Jesus wanted me to help I had many thoughts race thru my mind…
In a flash we were standing outside and I saw that child the boy…who ran past me… playing with many other small boys.
The land was dry and parched the children were playing on gravel and dust. The Presence spoke again. “What do you see”
I looked up and I saw a tank,a war tank sitting on what I now realized was a dirt street.
The children were used to it that tank was one of many ..The house was a shadow of a home The parents were in distress a baby was crying….The tank was ready…. men in uniforms were standing by watching the children at play .
The Presence said to me “will you come with me”? I said “yes” and we left that place…
My heart was stirred by what I had just seen What shall I do for this family was in my heart..
I was now standing in a different place I was on a floor of liquid yet my feet were dry.
Before me were many different bowls some made of silver some made of gold, some made of the finest crystal some made of time, some made of clay all on different heights of pedestals. All had oil in them Golden oil…
I noticed the one made of crystal it was filled with golden oil rich aromatic oil.. A glorious sight!
I saw lamp stands standing by these bowls I was certain these were bowls near the Throne of God…
Revelation 5:8 (Amp)
And when He had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders [of the heavenly Sanhedrin] prostrated themselves before the Lamb. Each was holding a harp (lute or guitar), and they had golden bowls full of incense (fragrant spices and gums for burning), which are the prayers of God's people (the saints).
I felt the Presence I was embarrassed for I had let myself get lost in the moment and forgot my host who has brought me there.
He spoke once more this time I felt the sound of HIS voice resonate thru me Not just in my ear..
“Look and tell me what do you see?”
My eyes searched …then I saw what as so amazing ..The wooden bowl was there sitting on a hand hewed timber pedestal It was there all right standing alone.. The very bowl I had seen in the stone home was now sitting in this realm ..of prayer…
I asked the Presence “why?” He then told me this ..
“This bowl is from a tribe of Ancient Ones… Who once knew the GOD of Abraham Isaac and Jacob.
This family who owns the bowl is all that is left of that tribe.. This bowl is an ancient bowl hewed during the time of Father Moses. This family’s tears are being heard as a lament to our Heavenly Fathers Throne…
This is a chosen lot of people fast being forgotten by the church ..”
I began to cry” How can I help? what can I do”
He said “look one last time what do you see..”
I said "I see the empty bowl How can I help How can it become beautiful once again".. I was weeping.
Weeping over the tribe the land the people children the father the mother I was consumed with grief….as I wept I saw the bowl… Then The Presence said to me Pray, Pray, Pray for The Jewish people to know their lovely destiny …
Pray for the ones in Israel, The ones in Africa for there is a lost tribe in Africa.
Pray for American Jews. Pray, Pray, Pray Fill the ancient bowl and save a nation from being lost….From being destroyed. From being Ignored.
I heard the sound go thru me It resonates thru me still The Call to fill the Ancient Bowl of the Lost Tribe of a Jewish nation who has captured the very heart of the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob.
1st Kings 8:30
Hearken to the prayer of Your servant and of Your people Israel when they pray in or toward this place. Hear in heaven, Your dwelling place, and when You hear, forgive
1 Kings 8:37-39
37 If there is famine in the land or pestilence, blight, mildew, locust, or caterpillar, if their enemy besieges them in the land of their cities, whatever plague, whatever sickness there is,
3 8 Whatever prayer or supplication is made by any or all of Your people Israel--each man knowing the affliction of his own heart, and spreading forth his hands toward this house [and its pledge of Your presence]--
39 Then hear in heaven, Your dwelling place, and forgive and act and give to every man according to his ways, whose heart You know, for You and You only know the hearts of all the children of men,
Romans 10 1:2
1 BRETHREN, [with all] my heart's desire and goodwill for [Israel], I long and pray to God that they may be saved.
2 I bear them witness that they have a [certain] zeal and enthusiasm for God, but it is not enlightened and according to [correct and vital] knowledge.
Saved…
spare somebody from something: to make it possible for somebody to be spared from a situation or activity
rescue somebody or something: to rescue somebody or something from harm or danger
redeem somebody: in some beliefs, to free somebody from the consequences of sin
Dear Lord Please spare your people, Of All The Jewish Nations scattered about the world.
Please ask workers to bend their knees in prayer and supplications for the safety and security of Israel and all her Peoples near and abroad.
May Grace come to the land and Peace to the souls who shall come to you.
I ask for safety, salvation and comfort for Israel Today ..And Every day.
I ask for many to remember Israel and Pray, Pray, Pray so the Bowl will be filled with the aromatic oil of Love and Glory IN Jesus name Amen
