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-

1. Paul says the believers at Corinth are actually excelling and overflowing with unique spiritual endowments (read 1 Cor. 12-14 for background).
   
   
2. They are endowed with wonder-working faith (1 Cor. 12:9-10; 13:2).
   
   
3. They are endowed with tremendous oracle and utterance abilities (1Cor. 1:5,7).
   
   
4. They are even endowed with sharp spiritual perceptiveness of the highest degree.
   
   
5. 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…

1. 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!
   
   
2. Purpose now to give all out to lavishly help the Jewish people…to the point of begging!
   
   
3. Then follow thru lavishly and give to this collection we have made known to you.
   
   
4. It does not matter the amount…what matters is your willingness.
   
   
5. Give now and do it cheerfully by faith and relinquish fear and covetousness.
   
   
6. Praise and worship Him for giving you the privilege and honor to give like this to the Jewish believers.
   
   
7. 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
