We can choose to let God be the most powerful influence in our lives, or not.įor a moment, let us recall a crucial turning point in the life of Jacob, the grandson of Abraham. We can choose to let God prevail in our lives, or not. The word willing is crucial to this interpretation of Israel. With the help of two Hebrew scholars, I learned that one of the Hebraic meanings of the word Israel is “let God prevail.” 4 Thus the very name of Israel refers to a person who is willing to let God prevail in his or her life. So imagine my delight when I was led recently to a new insight. I have studied the gathering, prayed about it, feasted upon every related scripture, and asked the Lord to increase my understanding. 1 Everything about it has intrigued me, including the ministries and names 2 of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob their lives and their wives the covenant God made with them and extended through their lineage 3 the dispersion of the twelve tribes and the numerous prophecies about the gathering in our day. My dear brothers and sisters, how grateful I am for the marvelous messages of this conference and for my privilege to speak with you now.įor the more than 36 years I’ve been an Apostle, the doctrine of the gathering of Israel has captured my attention.
