Pray for France

A Word for France, July 5th, 2007

France will be blessed by the coming of Messianic Jews who will come to teach, but discernment will be needed to receive those who call themselves Messianic Jews.

After meditating on several conversations, with two precious friends from France, the Holy Spirit started to impress a Word for the Body of Christ in France into my Heart.

"The tide for the Body of Christ is changing in France. A time of great difficulties is coming. With this Word, the Lord wants to give a key to His people, the once who walk with Him and listen to what the Holy Spirit is saying to the Church.

"It is time for the Body of Christ to start to support the Jewish people in Israel in a new and fresh way. In a way like never before in History. The Holy Spirit quickened the passage of Acts 10:1-2 and 31 about Cornelius, a centurion of what was called the Italian Regiment, a devout man and one who feared God with all his household, who gave alms generously to the people, and prayed to God always. And later it says, that he had the visitation of an Angel who spoke to him: Cornelius, your prayer has been heard, and your alms are remembered in the sight of God.

In the same way, the Lord is asking the Body of Christ in France to support the Jewish people (this also means the messianic Jewish people, but God means both, the Jewish people who love the Torah, the Word of God and the Land of Israel, as well as the messianic Jewish people who anyway need our support in a special way) It is time to help the Jewish people in Israel to build their Synagogues, to help them plant the Forest, Schools and Hospitals.

In this coming years as the Body of Christ will come under great pressure by the Government, which is now under the leading of a Jewish man who loves Israel, God will use this pressure to separate of what is religious and of what is walking by the Spirit of God. God will use this pressure to remind the French people of what they have done in centuries past to the Jewish people. In a certain way of what is coming to the Body of Christ is very similar to Joseph, after he became Prime Minister and his Brothers came to him, before he was able to reveal himself to his Brothers, he had to test them, if their heart had truly changed, especially Simeon, who must have been quiet cruel to him. In the same way the pressure which is coming to the Body of Christ is to test them.

But there will come a point and it maybe in 5 years or later, that their will be a sudden change. I felt very strongly that what the Body of Christ today and during this coming years will invest into Israel will become their "Ram in the thicket", because when the President will see, how much the Body of Christ truly loves Israel and the Jewish people he will be obliged to drop the pressure exactly like Joseph did after a certain moment and revealed himself to his Brothers.

At this point a reversal will happen, suddenly those who have been tested in the Fire will be promoted, but only those can be promoted who stood the test of adversity and did not fell into the traps, neither of religion nor of presumption. This promotion will be fare beyond the dreams of what the Body of Christ can dream. At this point it is very important that the Body of Christ understands, that with the new president, even if great pressure is coming it is by the Hand of God, that this President has been given. But in a certain way it will depend on their prayers how long he will stand in position. So pray for him, even if you disagree of what he is doing, that's one of the tests you have in this year to come.

There is Book, I suggest every believer to read, it will make you ready for this days; The Heavenly Man by Brother Yun. He is one of the leaders of the underground Church in China. His testimony and anointing will give you the strength and strategies for this years to come!

Like one of my friends said, Blessed be the one who stands in 5 years from now.

And it is my prayer for the Body of Christ in France to arise in this hour. Not in presumption, but with discernment and true faith, to arise and walk in the power and might of the Spirit of God and do the Works of the Lord and to pray and prepare for his Kingdom to come. God will use this next years to break the walls of separation between France and Israel. This is a deep and tough operation, but the outcome will be glorious, it will lead to the greatest outpouring of the Holy Spirit in France, greater then anything which happened before in the History of France, exactly like in the life of Cornelius

Acts 10:44-46 While Peter still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who heard the word. And those of the circumcision who believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out on the Gentiles also. For they heard them speak with tongues and magnify God.

During this time of great pressure in France God will send His servants to refresh the Body of Christ who will need support from outside. It is important to discern the once God truly sends, but at the other hand it will be important as well to receive the once He truly sends. But the one who God will send to ignite the true prophetic fire into France will be the messianic Jewish people. Exactly like in Cornelius situation where God sent him Peter, a messianic Jew, in the same way God starts to send messianic Jewish ministers to France and they will be crucial to ignite the prophetic Fire for the End-times.

May God bless you and refresh you and may He give you fresh hope, faith and grace for this hour.

Shalom
