Praying is doing something for the Kingdom

As I am making ready my own heart and mind for the Full Restoration of Yahweh's Kingdom and what that entails, I am wondering what can I be doing now? With scripture saying for us not to be anxious for anything, I am now finally able to step back out of an anxious mode that I once was in daily, regarding making Aliyah to Israel. I know that all things will work itself out in the Aliyah process and I await the day when that can take place for my husband and myself. Yet I can be pro-active in my prayer life for Yahweh to move people's hearts now. To move the hearts of Judah to accept brother Ephraim as co-laborers of the Kingdom. Which also means praying for the hearts of the Rabbinate and Sanhedrin (Beit Din) as well as the political leaders of Israel. I think these are part of the "mountains" Yahshua was talking about that we have the ability to move if we would just have the faith of a mustard seed.

Also to move the hearts of Ephraim to understand who they really are. They are not part of the church, they are Lost Israel hiding out in the church and must come out from "Babylon."

I see so much of Ezekiel 37 on the verge of being fulfilled. The dry bones becoming flesh. Our stony hearts (all Israel - Judah & Ephraim) becoming flesh, and the 2 sticks becoming Echad. Messiah's desire for Israel is that we were unified - Echad as He, Yahweh and the Ruach are Echad. Just because Messiah Yahshua physically said it 2000 years ago does not take it out of the present tense. So that gives me hope that He is making us Echad.

Have the actual 12 Brothers, sons of Yakov (Jacob) ever really gotten along? We see from the accounts in Bereshit (Genesis) not really, no. Even after Joseph is reconciled to the family, they all move to Egypt, and after Yakov passes, the brothers wonder if Joseph is going to take out his revenge now that dad is gone. Loads of mistrust is still there. Judah doesn't want to assimilate to Christianity and Ephraim doesn't want to give up Messiah. I say we agree where we can and let Yahweh bridge the gap of all the other differences. Now in reality what we all really need is The Torah and The Testimony. I feel blessed to have both right now, before Messiah returns. But for some it may not be until Messiah returns that both parts are restored to them. Yet for now I can be pro-active in prayer for that restoration.

    Regarding ”Ephraim”:

    "B.C.E. 627-585 – With the expulsion of the Northern Ten Tribes of Yisrâ•eil and the words of Mikhâh ha-Nâvi both fresh in mind (slightly more than a century earlier), Yirmәyâhu ha-Nâvi used the phrase שארית ישראל to describe the impending invasion by Bavël (6.9). Then, speaking of the subsequent ingathering, uses the phrase again in 31.6. Yirmәyâhu ha-Nâvi himself precludes Christian arguments by explicitly stipulating the outcome in 31.7-8: "Behold, I will bring them from the land of the North and gather them from the ends of the earth… a great congregation will return here… for I have been a Father to Yisrâ•eil and Ëph•ra′ yim is My בכור."
    Ëph•ra′ yim, the בכור of Yoseiph and, accordingly, the ensign of the Mâshiakh Bën-Yoseiph, is also widely recognized to refer to the Ten Northern Tribes of Yisrâ•eil. Jews should be aware that this is where Christians (and a few Jews) see support for gentile claims of being "True Israel," as "the remnant" of the "10 Lost Tribes." Since the 10 Northern Tribes of Yisrâ•eil were exiled, dispersed and forcibly intermarried and thoroughly assimilated by the Syrians subsequent to BCE 722, the known position is that the 10 Northern Tribes ceased to exist, particularly as defined by the bәrit of Torâh. The few escapees fled into Yәhudâh, were absorbed into Yәhudâh and today are indistinguishable from other Yәhudim – they are not goyim! Thus, the logical position must be that, until proponents of "Found Tribes" of the 10 Lost Tribes prove their position, the 10 Lost Tribes don't exist. Note that the meandering ruminations cited for "Found Tribes" of the 10 Lost Tribes is highly speculative. Even if these speculations were reasonable, speculation remains far from the proof required by logic."

  2. I am a Ephraim and Yahudah, rolled into one person. I am also married to a fellow Yahudim. We have chosen to live as Jews and not by the way of the gentile and we were taught because of our ancestors were lost.
    Yahweh knows who are Ephraim. Messiah is also quoted as saying those who do what Messiah taught, are His brothers and by deffinition if He is the Netzer then we are Netzarim. And for anyone to say otherwise is rather arrogant. How can anyone say they are the true anything. Are you Yahweh or King Messiah Yahshua? Everything else you wrote, I have no issue with, but the quote is from a group of people to "claim" to be the only true Netzarim. Why would Messiah be so exclusive? He isn't, He wishes that the whole earth's people would perish. Its not His desire to exclude, you just have to join Israel. See the right of return for all Israel Deuteronomy 29 & 30. You must accept that this is true, or you are worshiping in a cult. All have the right of return, not just a select few who claim to be the only of anything. Now, granted only a remnant will be saved, but the opportunity is set out before the whole world. There isn't much excuse in America, where I live, because there is a Bible in every hotel room here and a public library where people can check out books. Its that people don't SEEK HIM. That's on them, Yahweh's Presence is everywhere and if people don't see or feel Him, its on them, not our Creator!
