We have felt the condemnation of the Church spoken of in our Scriptures...
We have suffered the chastisement of the Lord...
Our institutions have failed us...
Our enemies have come in and scattered us...
They have carried away captive, even many of our children...
The proud among us, who were willing to repent, have been greatly humbled by God...
Our human efforts are frustrated...
We are made to see our weaknesses...
We prostrate ourselves before God...
And we are compelled to cry out to Him for deliverance.
Now God will do a new thing - His strange act. He will soon show mercy to the downtrodden and broken hearted of Israel, and through the seed of Abraham and Jacob and Joseph, shall the Gentiles be blessed. It will be the end of Gentile domination, and the beginning of the restoration of the House of Israel. There is a gathering in (a grafting in), and a gathering out (a removal) to take place, as spoken of at the end of the parable of Zenos.
Our fathers drank from wells made from human hands, and it is at a well that many of them met their future brides.
Moses, Isaac, and Jacob all met their wives at a well.
Jesus spoke to the Samaritan woman at Jacobs well, in Ephraims territory, and made her an offer to drink from a different kind of well.
There is a well in Zion, which we can go to, and drink from...
The waters of which will refresh us...
and resurrect our people...
like the vision of Ezekiel in the valley of dry bones, a great army can come to life...
It is the well of our Master, and it is our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
When we drink of this well, we will never thirst again.
Are you thirsty tonight? Do you hunger and thirst for righteousness?
The voice of the Shepherd calls the humble and the faithful among Ephraim and Manasseh, to come drink from this well.
He calls upon us to build up the waste places of Zion...and we must do it in His name!
We must reclaim territory that has been taken from us by the enemy.
Here in the land of Joseph, we have an inheritance...
It is time that we begin to understand and receive our Tribal inheritances, and the blessings of our fathers.
In prayerful consideration of this mission, the Spirit of the Lord has directed Joel Adams to Isaiah chapter 12. He shared this with me, and I have received confirmation of it as direction to us, and as a vision of hope from above to move the feet of His people Israel.

Isaiah 12
12:1 And in that day thou shalt say, O Lord, I will praise thee; though thou wast angry with me, thine anger is turned away, and thou comfortedst me.
12:2 Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid; for the Lord JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation.
12:3 Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation.
12:4 And in that day shall ye say, Praise the Lord, call upon his name, declare his doings among the people, make mention that his name is exalted.
12:5 Sing unto the Lord; for he hath done excellent things; this is known in all the earth.
12:6 Cry out and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion; for great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee.

This is a vision of where we are headed. It is a vision we should keep before us.
Preaching on faith, Paul says to us: Call those things that be not, as though they were. [Romans 4:17]
Do you see Zion today? Call those things that be not as through they were, and through the power of our faith in God the Father, His only Son, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghostwe can begin to catch a vision of it, and become a part of what the Father is doing, even now, to bring about this great work of restoration, and the building of His Kingdom on earth as it is in heaven.
Let us do as Isaiah 12 says, and by faith, praise His holy name for all that He has done, all that He is now doing, and all that He shall shortly bring to pass!

The above is how I will be opening the service tonight at the Mansion house, at 7pm. We would solicit your prayers.
