Expect a Great Outpouring
God has spoken many promises for this generation and we want to see them fulfilled here on earth. The Body of Christ today is a generation of destiny. It is time for us to rise up, step into our destiny, and become what the Lord needs in the earth today. The time between...
Prepared and Driven for God’s Will
During the fifty days between Passover and Pentecost, God was at work in the hearts and minds of the disciples. The Father was bringing them out of their confusion and misperceptions to prepare them to move under the anointing of the Holy Spirit. Each one came to the end of...
Stand in Your Place
Following the resurrection of Christ Jesus our Lord, the disciples were given no specific guidelines about how to set up a church. All they had was a relationship with Him. They had to reach in daily to hear His voice, so that Yeshua (Jesus) could come forth within a body of...
Ein Gedi — An Oasis in the Wilderness
I am looking forward to visiting Ein Gedi this November 2021 on the Hargrave Ministries Israel Tour. Since I first heard of the Israel tours, I have wanted to go to Ein Gedi more than any other location in Israel because I associate it with what I feel about David from the...
A Visit to Tel Hebron & Cave of Machpelah
We walked into a rocky, arid field bordered by a metal fence and guarded by two Israelis soldiers with Uzis. Only the sign “Welcome to Tel Hebron” written in Hebrew, English, and Arabic lets us know we were in an historic site. Tel Hebron had only been open for one year in...
God Executes Justice for the Orphan and the Widow—Deuteronomy 10:18
The Bible is a story about God’s family and the covenant He made with Abraham, “IN YOUR SEED ALL THE FAMILIES OF THE EARTH SHALL BE BLESSED” (Acts 3:25).[i] When Peter spoke on the Day of Pentecost, he connected the Jews back to that family relationship: “The God of Abraham,...
The Family of God Are Children of Abraham
If you want to find a relationship with God, you will find it in the relationship of being children of Abraham. God is making Himself real by virtue of the relationship with His people. The blood of Yeshua (Jesus) opened the door for Gentiles to be grafted into the covenant...
Fervent Love Ends Division
When God commands something, He empowers us to do it. He is determined to bring the Body of Christ together into unity and love. But we must reach in for God’s love and cannot work it up in ourselves. It comes from the power of Christ and His Word. Yeshua (Jesus) never told His...
“Pure and Faultless Religion”—James 1:27
The Book of James was written around A.D. 48 while the early church was still predominantly Jewish. James, the brother of our Lord and bishop of the church in Jerusalem, addressed his letter to “the twelve tribes” of Israel and gave practical guidelines about how we are to love...
Peter’s Passover Story
God commanded Israel to celebrate the Passover, “And you shall observe this event as an ordinance for you and your children forever” (Exodus 12:24 NASB95). It was to be a night of remembrance. God wanted His people to never forget how He delivered them out of Egypt with a...
The Judgment of the Gods
When God opens a door through the biblical feast of Passover, it is because there is something in it that we are to experience in our lives today. And like the Israelites, we are to come out of bondage. We tend to look at the Tanakh (Old Testament) as things happening on the...
Delivered to Stand in His Presence
As Christians, we recognize the importance of our salvation experience through Christ’s sacrifice on the cross during this time of Passover. The blood of Christ is a grace and a covering, as well as a tremendous provision for us when we fail or stumble. But God intends for us...
Both Lord and King of Your Life
It is easy to look forward to the return of Yeshua (Jesus) and simply wait passively for Him to come. But great rewards are available to those who use the time wisely to make preparations, inside and out. He should be both our Lord and Savior now, not just then. And if we learn...
Am I Committed to Unity?
It is time for the great witness of the Messiah Yeshua to come forth in the earth, and according to His prayer in John 17, that witness is a result of the oneness of the Body of Christ. “That they may all be one; just as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may...
We Prepare to Enter the Presence of the King
The Feast of Purim, also known as the Feast of Esther, is a time of great celebration in which the Jewish people rejoice in God’s deliverance for them from death and destruction. Symbolically, this feast anticipates the final vanquishing of satan from the earth for all mankind....
Worship That Brings His Presence
Yeshua (Jesus) taught His disciples to pray, “Our Father who is in heaven” (Matthew 6:9), and heaven is where our focus should be as well. The prayer life of most believers has been good, but God wants to replace it with the best. So He showed me that as we move into the spirit...
Standing with Israel at Purim
On February 25, 2021, many Jews and their allies will be celebrating the Feast of Purim, a celebration that recognizes God’s deliverance for the Jewish people from genocide in Persia (Esther 9:20-22). In his jealousy and hatred of Mordecai, Haman summoned the royal scribes and...
Breaking the Cycle of Poverty in Israel
In the 1980s, Yad Eliezer opened its doors with the mission of meeting Israel’s growing needs. Now, more than four decades later, it is one of the nation’s leading poverty-relief initiatives, fighting diligently to help struggling families survive. With the help of volunteers...
