May others experience the Light of Christ through you!

Dear Friends in Christ Jesus our Lord,

Please download our latest Nugget, Would Our Lord Jesus Commend You As His Ambassador? by clicking on the title. In this Nugget we write about the key role YOU have if you’re genuinely born again in living as our Lord’s ambassador. This service of loving and obedient trust is one of the core identifiers of being genuinely born again. Yet fewer and fewer ambassadors of our Lord Jesus are letting themselves be used this way by the indwelling Spirit as this nation has become increasingly immoral and gullible and fixated on meeting daily survival needs. This is NOT the time to step back in silence when a desperate world is cascading toward destruction!

The darker it gets in this nation, the more the genuine should be shining the light of our Lord Jesus into the hearts of those living in darkness. Examine your own heart and motives and values to see if YOU are hamstringing your own availability for the Spirit’s use by holding onto unconfessed sin. If you need to, repent. If you’re free of known sin, ask Him to help you see others around you through the eyes of Jesus — and take action as He prompts you! Please heed the urgent call that’s given to YOU if you’re genuine: “Since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us put aside every impediment — that is, the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith, Who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God” (Hebrews 12:1,2).

We who are genuinely born again in the Spirit must continue to be transformed by Him, becoming more like our Lord Jesus both in character and in fulfilling Father’s purposes. No matter how morally darkened this society and the political arena are becoming, if you are genuine you must follow in the footsteps of our Lord Jesus as His ambassador until you see Him face to face. Pierce your heart with this self-evaluation: Are YOU burdened for unbelievers with the same burden our Lord Jesus had for them when He hung on the cross on their behalf? If your heart is NOT concerned about the destiny of the lost for whom Jesus died and rose again, then all your self-appraisal about your Christian practices is meaningless — until you’re fulfilling your role as His loving and obedient ambassador on this planet. Your heart responding to His heart’s priorities evidences that He is real to you as your Lord.

Be on guard about those who are hijacking the “Hebraic Restoration” 

Over 30 years ago our heavenly Father commanded us to call what He is restoring, “the Hebraic Restoration”. In using this specific term, He was directing us back to the first Hebrew, Abraham, the man He called His friend (James 2:23), and to the trust based relationship which undergirded the obedience of Abraham. Everything which Father is restoring is found in the Bible. All of it is relationship-based with His children living in covenant union with Him through His Son Jesus by the indwelling Holy Spirit with the goal of fulfilling His purposes for His glory. A number of “counterfeits” have sprung up over the decades since that time, though. For example, if someone is telling you that the Hebraic restoration is based on a particular religious form or ritual, even involving a specified way of praying or worshipping, then they are today’s “circumcision group” which Paul confronted during his ministry (see Galatians 2:12; 5:6; 6:13; Titus 1:10; also Philippians 3:3).

Thirty years ago the circumcision group was more commonly known as “the Jewish roots movement”. Many within this movement insisted that participants embrace traditional Jewish form and ritual as the only acceptable way of relating to God. Some went so far as declaring that participants should learn Hebrew, conjecturing that Hebrew is the language that’s spoken in heaven. Sadly, in recent years this group has hijacked the word “Hebraic” as a cover for the same theological bewitching (Galatians 3:1) that Paul challenged.

Restoring the biblically-Hebraic, love-grounded obedient trust which our Lord Jesus role-modeled and perfectly fulfilled is the message which our heavenly Father has given us to share with you over the course of these three decades. Please, ask Him if what we're sharing is true. If so, then respond accordingly.
