*"THE MESSIANIC JEWISH MOVEMENT AND CHURCHES" –Daniel Juster***

* *

This message was given April 23, 2007 in Kansas City at the "Israel Mandate
Conference" sponsored by IHOP of Mike Bickle and Tikkun of Daniel Juster.



Both Marie and I feel after listening to the CD sent to us by friends, that
this is one of the most challenging messages on this subject that we have
heard. You can order his message as a CD through *www.ihop.org *and click on
*MP3 *store. It is also possible to order it as a DVD by phoning *816-763-3070
ext. 2400 or 2408.* The DVD'S cost $12.00 each and take 1-2 weeks to be
duplicated before they can be shipped to you.



Tikkun under Daniel Juster and IHOP under Mike Bickle have made a covenant
with each other for the sake of the Kingdom of God. BOTH need to be grafted
into each other. The church according to Paul in Romans 11 has MUCH to gain
through this, but Messianic Jews also need to be grafted into the church,
and tap in on the GOOD of the last 2000 years of history. In THIS way, God
can use the union of the "One New Man" of Ephesians 2, to ready Israel as a
nation to be born again in a day. In the meantime, Jews are coming into
Messiah to make the greater goal possible one day.



Daniel Juster sets out 6 areas where both Messianic Jews and the Church need
to enter and realize. It is interesting that God is using Daniel Juster, a
Jew, to challenge both Messianics and Jews in this area as well as the
church. Here are the 6 areas he sets forth:



*One.  Matthew 28:18-20.  BOTH MESSIANIC JEWS AND ALL CHURCHES SHOULD TAKE
JESUS' DISCIPLING CHALLENGE. *Jesus with all authority commanded us to MAKE
DISCIPLES from all nations,* *to baptize them, and then teach them to
observe ALL things He had commanded His first disciples. Is Worship then
number one command? No – becoming disciples is number one, and then teach
them to worship. The above is not all about me – but all about HIM – God and
Jesus – and what makes HIM happy and gives Him pleasure. And for HIS
pleasure, we are created.



Acts 2:42 teaches 4 things that take place in small groups, and make us
responsible one to another. John Wesley's Class Meetings saved England from
the French Revolution.



*Two.  THE MESSIANIC JEWISH MOVEMENT AND CHURCHES should PASSIONATELY make
Yeshua (Jesus) central.  *Jesus is not just a great man or the Messiah – He
is DEITY! Thomas after Jesus' Resurrection fell at His feet and confessed:
"My LORD and my GOD!" THIS is the way the early church saw Jesus. Forget
what the Modernists and Liberals say. How can those not born again and
without the Indwelling Spirit have any idea who Jesus is? Revere and worship
Jesus the Man because He is also DEITY! See the chagrin of the scribes and
Pharisees on Palm Sunday when they heard children and multitudes worshipping
Jesus as DEITY! And Jesus said – "If they did not do so, the STONES would
cry out!"



There is a danger in playing down the DEITY of Jesus. Don't fall under the
pressure of this temptation. The death, burial and Resurrection of Jesus is
more important than the Old Testament Passover and Exodus! THAT was only a
type and shadow of what JESUS fulfilled and made Reality! The Heavenly
Father is not pleased if DEITY is not fully ascribed to His Son!



What Jesus looked like after His baptism when the Holy Spirit descended on
Him like a dove – and 40 days later when He returned from the wilderness and
the 3-fold temptation of satan – in the POWER of the Holy Spirit – we as
Messianic Jews and disciples in the churches – should MANIFEST before the
Return of Jesus!



Don't be intimidated by the modern orthodox Jews! Don't be robbed of this by
the "Seeker Friendly" churches. Press in for the full manifestation of the
Risen Jesus! Follow Oswald Chambers in having a "Personal, Passionate
Devotion for Yeshua" (Jesus).



*Three.  THE MESSIANIC JEWISH MOVEMENT AND CHURCHES need to be committed to
the full Restoration of the 5-fold Ministries of Ephesians 4:11-12.*

Apostles and Prophets are at the head of the list of evangelists, pastors
and teachers. They WERE this way in the early church. The Aorist tense in
the Greek language in Ephesians 4:11 and 1 Corinthians 12:28 states that God
GAVE and God SET in the church FIRST apostles an\d THEN Prophets for as long
as the church exists until Christ returns. THIS is the THRUST of the Greek
Aorist. Forget what interpreters of these two verses say. Let the Word mean
what it WANTS to mean, and let God SAY what He wants to SAY!



Is there pressure for the Messianic Jewish Movement and churches to water
down this clear mandate of God and His Word? You better believe it! And who
is behind this attack? Is it flesh and blood? NOT at all – for we wrestle
NOT against flesh and blood – but against principalities and powers –
against the rulers of the darkness of this world – against spiritual
wickedness in high places. It is THE DEVIL and his angels and demons behind
the unbelief of those who fear God's program and purposes! And what happens
when we let God loose through the Holy Spirit to work out HIS HIGH purposes
through us? Well – it won't be a cemetery. It won't be where the DEAD
congregate. And where there is LIFE, there ARE growing pains. But our Triune
God will NOT be Father, Son and DIGNITY. Read the book of Acts – and believe
it; that is STILL God's pattern for us today!



*Four. THE MESSIANIC JEWISH MOVEMENT MUST BE JEWISHLY LOYAL! *In Pilgrim's
Progress by John Bunyan there are 2 ditches. One is to despise Rabbinic
Judaism. The other is to make an Idolatry of Jewish Heritage. Don't try and
defend the indefensible in the Jewish Talmud and Mishnah. And see Paul – in
the last chapter of Acts he stated to the Roman Jews that he had nothing
against "The Customs of our Fathers." Paul walked in the MIDDLE of the broad
highway to God's Celestial City, falling into NEITHER of the two ditches on
either side.



Let the CROSS redeem the good from either side! Let God's word to Jeremiah
prevail – "If you take the 'precious' from the vile – you shall be as my
mouth." There IS GOOD in both ditches, and there IS what must be left there.
Be discerning and exercise WISE choices. Judge and evaluate all things
(Romans 12:2).



Let us share with Derek Prince one of his favorite verses – 1 Samuel 12:22 –
"For the LORD will not forsake His people, for His great name's sake,
because it has pleased the LORD to make Israel His people." Make no mistake!
God HAS CHOSEN Israel eternally for His own purposes, and WILL redeem her
into full restoration -- grafting her back into the roots of His Olive Tree
all in good time. What a shock this will be to nations, who will be
separated in the end as either SHEEP nations or GOAT nations! May God have
mercy on the nations present at the end to help them make WISE choices!



*Five.  THE MESSIANIC JEWISH MOVEMENT must be centered in **Israel**. *It is
NOT the DIASPORA that will be the center of God's last move and program. No
– it will be Jerusalem and Israel! Zion will be the center from where it
will all happen, and from where the Word of the LORD will go forth to all
the earth!



Jews who have had their hearts and eyes open are making Aliyah to Israel!
Not to the USA, Germany, Russia or the Diaspora. The center is even now
shifting. Theodore Herzl saw this in 1997. The United Nations mandate
confirmed it 50 years later in 1947, and the following year Ben Gurion
proclaimed the Restoration of a nation and language after nearly 2000 years!
NEVER has such a thing happened before. ONLY GOD could have engineered this.
And the 6 wars that have followed have STILL not driven Israel into the sea,
because those fighting for this are ignorantly fighting GOD!



*Six.  THE MESSIANIC JEWISH MOVEMENT – broadly and deeply must embrace the
whole church. *It is ONE with all committed disciples in all streams of the
church. Messianic Jews must STOP church bashing and repent.



See Acts 15, and the implications of this Jerusalem Sanhedrin conference
brought together to consider the Judaizing controversy. Gentiles do NOT have
to become Jews, be circumcised and keep the Torah. James, the brother of
Jesus and the Apostolic pastor of the church of Jerusalem laid ONLY FOUR
requirements upon non-Jewish believers, so that they with Jews could sit
down together for table fellowship.



In this way, Jewish believers can be grafted into the roots of the Gentile
Church, and receive from them their riches, just as Gentile believers can be
blest by being grafted into their Jewish roots. And Patty Juster, Dan's
wife, discovered that proper grafting can speed up fruit bearing. A regular
tree that takes 8-12 years before fruit-bearing, can speed up to 2-3 years
when properly grafted. This in a spiritual sense can be applied to the
double grafting mentioned above. And, it is when Messianic Jews and churches
join together in the above 6 principles, that God is then – and only then –
able to move on behalf of Israel to see this nation born again in a day.



*NOTE: *In Conclusion – It will be almost impossible to receive the full
thrust of Daniel Juster's message above apart from receiving and listening
either to the CD or DVD. When you order and listen to it, you will note that
I have added a few personal observations – not to clarify or change his
vision. His presentation is far above the need for this. Hopefully the few
added illustrations will be but minor confirmations to his unusual and
provocative address.
