A Calling to Stand With Israel

Hannah Lowe word from God

…My people are those that have ears and do not hear, and have eyes and do not see, and have hearts that do not understand, whose minds are alienated from me. And I have called and I have stretched out mine arms. Yes, daily I have stretched out mine arms. They will not come, they will not heed, for the flesh has dominated and held them as slaves bound, and willfully their ears are covered. They purposely have covered their own ears and they purposely have shut their own eyes that they might not see, and that then they fell away backwards. Because having eyes they cannot see, and having ears they cannot hear, because they will not open their hearts unto me, saith the Lord. For I would take them into clean places and paths that have never been touched and contaminated with the flesh. And I am here among thee today to lead thee in the plain path, even because of the enemy that so flaunts himself and tortures thee by [x].

Hast thou not felt the tormenting of the enemy? Hast thou not felt the torturing of this one that comes against thee? Yet thou dost willfully close thine eyes and thou dost willfully cover thine ears that thou dost not hear. But I will give you the way out that thou dost look to me and I will take thee through as thou dost look to me. Wilt thou not hear? Wilt thou not harken? Wilt thou not hearken unto me today, saith the Lord. I will be unto thee thy father and thou shalt be unto me my daughter if thou wilt follow me.

…He went on just the same. We know he must have grieved and, of course, the natural grief was there [by anyone] prophesying. And you could just take the different ones that have that grief upon them. And as you go on in the Lord and something happens to you or something happens to someone you love then you can understand about the Lord. Otherwise you can’t. You just can’t. You can be sorry and you can say, “Well, I sympathize with you.” But you can’t get it until it happens to you.

And I know that as we get closer to the Lord, things will happen to us that we will wonder, well, what is this that happened to me? Why do I have to have this happen to me?

But it is to understand the very heart of the Lord, as those prophets truly understood when they went through this. They would ask Ezekiel, “Well, why do you have to do this?” Just absurd things that he had to go through. They would ask him, and he answered them: this is what you are and this is how you are doing and this is… You’re not only preaching to them or praying with them or standing beside them in their sorrow. But he went through the very, you could say, pantomimes he went through and did the most ridiculous looking things. And the Jews there, you can imagine how they wondered what is all this. And he said, “Just exactly what you do, how you treat the Lord, what you’re doing.” So the prophet was brought into a place.

And the Body of Christ more and more will come into a place. Unless they are brought into the place of, you can say, suffering and death to the self and death to the flesh and understanding the heart of the Lord. See, we’re not of much use because we can’t be; we can’t understand Him. There has to be something done in this. We have to understand Him. There has to be suffering or something that He permits, or we can’t understand what it’s all about. So we would just get down and say before Him, “Well, what is this?” And, “How come does this happen to me?” Well, it’s for a cause, it’s for a purpose.

And those that are young that have never had anyone taken from them or never worked, as you said, with someone and lavished their love upon them. And then they left. Left, no more. And then all the yearning in the heart. Well, that’s just a little bit of the yearning in the heart of the Lord for His people or for you as you turn away from Him. Or from ones that He has lavished His love, like He did with Israel.

He says He found Israel like out on a field, and she was unwashed. Just like a child that was born and cast out in a field, and there was nobody to even take off… put on swaddling clothes. And He washed Israel from being born. Even when it is born, the baby needs the washing, all the cleansing and perhaps oil.

He did all that for Israel, when she was birthed. She first came and He likens her to someone that was cast out into a field. Then He not only washed her and cleansed her; He put her in swaddling clothes. And then He decked her with ornaments as she grew and went on.

And then she turned with those very stones and jewels and the beautiful things that He gave her, she turned and used them as a harlot, used them for other lovers. And her beauty and the decking and all of the beautiful things that He put upon her, she used those very things to entice others to her. That’s what Israel did: used the very things of God that would be admired. And she allowed others to admire her, the very things that God gave to her, Israel. And she used those things as a mockery in a sense against the very Lord that gave them to her. How far Israel has gone.

And, of course, we know that it isn’t all just every minute, every time, people take you back. He will, you know, that is, to a certain extent. But all of those in that generation and all those in the generation failed. You know, we just can’t say, well, I’m just going to use this now and He’ll take me back, though He does. But yet they failed in their generation. They absolutely, miserably failed. And we think of those Jews that were wiped out in Germany. What a horrible thing. They certainly didn’t deserve it, in the sense that they deserved it personally, but God permitted it. Because He will purify the sons of Levi and purge them and the silver that they had and all those deckings and all those things—they used them to be… and it all became impure. Their very deckings, their very silver, all became impure.

And so He will put them through the fires. A good son… the Word says, He will purify the sons of Levi until all the dross, all the tin is gone. And then, see, there’s the remnant, then the true will come forth. Yet, what a loss, that wouldn’t have had to be lost. And then what a shame, what a crime, you could say, that all of that beauty and all of that real silver that He gave, that very silver has to be purged. That very silver has to be put in the refiner’s fire until he purges and purges until they’re clear and crystal and clean.

And that’s the remnant that we pray for in our day. That’s the remnant that’s so slow right now to seem to come in. That’s the remnant that He’s calling for, because all of those of the other times, that’s all gone—the generation that’s gone, the Moses generation and the different ones. But today we have those that to whom He is seeking, and how slow He is. It seems like you could say, “Lord, how long?” So many times it comes, and I know He will also call here. “How long, O Lord? How long will this be that Israel will really have the stops in their ears taken off and the eyes?” Because Saint Paul says that when this veil is taken off the heart, then they will accept the Lord Jesus.

And we do have this call in our midst and, as you know, that the Lord had given my husband and me this call so many years ago. And yet, how long? And such patience. And I don’t know how much longer it will be, but I believe we are coming up to the time now. I really believe that this time… that this is what the prophets had been waiting to see, and what the angels would want to behold, the very angels of heaven. And the Lord has said to us time after time, not just the consecutive there, you know, just one right after the other, but just every once in a while, He puts in there that it’s Israel to whom you are called. It’s Israel, with whom you’ll have success. And I don’t mean outward success. And it’s Israel that I’m getting you ready for.

And yet how can we? We just feel that we beat our heads up against a stone wall many times: and what do we do now? And I’ve thought, well, we can’t go to the American Mission; that’s for Jews, [x], did I not call for the Jews? Oh, is that right, to call the Jews? Well, so get going and get in with the, you know, with just the… They have suppers and they have a nice program to help to try to find some Christians. I know every one of them do a wonderful work. You know that they get one maybe in so many years, it’s a marvel. There’s one aide that has been working for the Assemblies of God and she has been working years and years and years, and she sends us literature. And I think in one year, they had I think it’s about eight and two baptized. I think two baptized in [the Spirit?], something like that. But, you see, that’s just marvelous in a way, that eight Jews would come in. It’s just marvelous, because what has to be done to that Jew?

And yet we’re believing for this ingathering. And we just don’t want to be visionary, you know, just always keep this a vision, because this can go like this. Somebody said to me the other day, well, this can go on indefinitely that we always have a vision and we’re always reaching out there, you know, for this vision. It can go on indefinitely. So there does come a time when we set our faces to see this vision come into being. And that’s what’s been going on around here lately, the different ones that have taken it upon themselves to set themselves before the Lord in fastings and prayings, that the Lord’s will would break into us and help us to break into another realm by His grace, because this can’t be done naturally. We cannot do this naturally. And especially with Jews, I would think it would be about the most difficult.

When it’s God’s time, it will be like Peter going down to Cornelius’s house in Gentiles’ time. Well, they were all prepared there. And Peter in a sense didn’t have anything to do with it, only he was right in the place where the Lord wanted him. And he would have eaten, but it wasn’t ready. The supper then wasn’t ready. And he would have eaten like anybody else. But while he waited for the food to be prepared, and he fell into this trance. And there the whole thing: the Lord had been going on with the whole thing that the Gentiles have. Well, this was unheard of, as we all know. This was unheard of. The Lord wasn’t working amongst the Gentiles at all. And there wasn’t any wholesale coming in.

But the sovereign part of it all was that Peter was in his place, and the Lord had gotten one Gentile. It wasn’t any great splurge, as the Lord had gotten one Gentile to the place. And what does it say: “he had fasted and given alms and done all that he could.” He was, you could say, yielded in his way up to date. He had done everything that he knew to do and fasted and given alms when, as I had thought of it years ago as I prayed, it’s like God had a scale and he had been crawling up on that scale. He was fasting, given alms and whatever he had done, good works. But they didn’t count in themselves and for themselves, but it was enough. And the scales went down, and the Lord said, “Well, it’s enough now.”

And I don’t just think, well, we ought to just keep thinking, well, I’ll keep on praying, it’s never coming. But the Lord spoke to us the other day and said, “We must have faith. There lacks faith in our midst. That there would much more come to pass.” And this man, I don’t believe he was only just piling up good works, fastings, you know, just saying, “Well, I’ll go through the routines and go through the whole thing like something I have to do each week.” But I believe this man had faith, much faith as he did this that something will come out of this. And, praise God, the scales went down, and God said, “This is enough,” and had the whole thing to work out perfectly.

And I know we can get into a place where we get visionary and [report], “Well, we’re just waiting for sovereign moves.” And we are! But on the other hand, what are we doing to put this sovereign move into effect? See, we have to do something about it in the meantime. We just can’t say, well, one day God will send and it will all work out all right and then I’ll be hopping on the train and I’ll make it. It won’t work that way. We have to be in the place where God could use me.

We can’t hop on any train like we heard. Who was it that said…? Tom here praying today, those virgins, they couldn’t… And he brought it out that they didn’t have the right robes on and that they let us to see how naked we are in ourselves, undone. And we won’t be able to slip on something. You know, sometimes somebody comes to your house and you say, “Well, leave the door closed and I’ll just slip on something that’s better.” There won’t be any time for this.

And I believe that this is coming fast. But as the Lord is leading, as I said, to get us all into our places… And it isn’t that somebody has said, “We call a great fast and you have to fast or you have to set your faces….” The Lord is putting that on us individually here. And, praise God, we see and we will see. It’s not joyous when you go through a time like this. Nevertheless, afterward it works out the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who are exercised thereby. Just don’t forget that. We must be exercised thereby in that to see that work out. Praise God.

So I do think that we should pray now for Israel. As Bob suggested, he thought that we should pray for Israel today. And we should pray at this time for Israel.

Hannah Lowe reading Isaiah 66:7-18

“7 Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child. 8 Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children. 9 Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? saith the Lord: shall I cause to bring forth, and shut the womb? saith thy God. 10 Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all ye that love her: rejoice for joy with her, all ye that mourn for her: 11 That ye may suck, and be satisfied with the breasts of her consolations; that ye may milk out, and be delighted with the abundance of her glory.12 For thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing stream: then shall ye suck, ye shall be borne upon her sides, and be dandled upon her knees. 13 As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you; and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem. 14 And when ye see this, your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like an herb: and the hand of the Lord shall be known toward his servants, and his indignation toward his enemies.15 For, behold, the Lord will come with fire, and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire. 16 For by fire and by his sword will the Lord plead with all flesh: and the slain of the Lord shall be many. 17 They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens behind one tree in the midst, eating swine’s flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall be consumed together, saith the Lord. 18 For I know their works and their thoughts: it shall come, that I will gather all nations and tongues; and they shall come, and see my glory.”
