Having a Global vision
requires having a right heart attitude.
What does God want? The only way we can know is to listen to his heart; to hear with spiritual ears what he desires most; and to understand with spiritual wisdom why this fulfills our deepest longing as well. We are to be motivated by love. Our first decision is to trust God’s grace and forgiveness offered through Christ. When we simply express to God in faith that we want what Jesus did to count for us, that willingness is all God needs. It is like the “I do” of marriage relationship. God says he not only forgives all our past, present, and future wrongs, he draws us into the closest imaginable relationship; his adopted children. That secure relationship will never change, but like any relationship, it requires daily decisions of trust to grow closer. This is a lifelong journey that we are experiencing, and experimenting with. (Eph. 2:8-10)
God longs for faithfulness. The word sin has lost its meaning in our culture. God’s first concern is our behavior. By staying connected to God and doing his will, we show him we love him. Loving God and people sums up what God created us for; everything else written is Scripture is commentary on what that means. When we try to stay in tune with God, in honest conversation day by day, moment by moment, we can allow God to break in and guide us. As we begin to experience the power of his life flowing up into our often life-less world, a power that brings peace even in the storms, a power that gives self-control even when we’re angry, a power to live a life of freedom from the chains that enslave us, a power to develop deep, authentic relationships, a power to love even the most difficult people, and the power to experience joy in the moments of each day as every moment becomes alive with possibilities, we learn to love and to connect with God in obedience. We can love one another in life no matter what the circumstances. By loving God and trusting in him, and in his Messiah, we exist to love eternal. Jesus is the door we enter through. God’s spirit lives with us forever, and as we trust our, our faith is reciprocated by God allowing us to see and know more of him as his Spirit does. His restorative work in the world through us is God’s goal and is our commission; go and love, and tell the world God loves them too.

Excerpt from article on Tnn Online
When today’s Messianic movement can learn to appreciate the fact that our faith is not just about Israel, nor is it just about the world, then we can begin to have a more global impact. The Spirit of God moves at many Sunday services in our own country, just as in Shabbat-keeping Messianic services. But even more so, the Spirit moves in places like Africa, India or China. How do we expect to relate the Messianic things God has revealed to us to those believers? Have we even considered this? Do we even recognize that when believers in the third world are persecuted or killed for their faith that we as a whole are being persecuted and killed? Do we ever attempt as Messianics to see the “big picture” of the world and God’s people?

There is much hatred in the world. The Jews have suffered and yet have survived. This is a testimony to their God, and hopefully your God. Many times they should not have survived. God promised that they would someday receive all His promises. God is faithful and He will restore them.
Become aware of the world in which we live; it is a world in conflict. Persecution still continues in many parts of the world. We can offer our prayers; and we should, because we may not always be a free country.
I have provided some information here for your research. Here you will find some terminology and web sites in regards to the Jews. Anti-semitism can occur against any group of people.
Pogrom: an organized massacre of helpless people; specifically : such as a massacre of Jews
http://www.zionism-israel.com/dic/pogrom.htm
Diaspora:
1. The dispersion of Jews outside of Israel from the sixth century b.c., when they were exiled to Babylonia, until the present time.
2. The body of Jews or Jewish communities outside Palestine or modern Israel.
Ethnic cleansing: The systematic elimination of an ethnic group or groups from a region or society, as by deportation, forced emigration, or genocide.
Genocide is the deliberate and systematic destruction, in whole or in part, of an ethnic, racial, religious, or national group.
Prevention of Genocide Task Force
On 8 December 2008, the Prevention of Genocide Task Force, co-chaired by Madeline Albright, a former US Secretary of State, and William Cohen, a former US Secretary of Defence, released its final report which concludes that the US government can prevent genocide and mass atrocities in the future.
In the words of Mr. Cohen, “This report provides a blueprint that can enable the United States to take preventive action, along with international partners, to forestall the specter of future cases of genocide and mass atrocities.”
Recommendations include:
There is still much hate against the Jews today.

REMEMBER: People are not the enemy; it is the work of Satan; of demonic powers and principalities that we war against. Love your neighbor. Love people. Love life. Love covers a multitude of sins. God did not send His Son to save the righteous, but sinners.
At the foot of the cross we are all on level ground. Satan has been keeping people captive, not allowing them to know the truth. Bring the light of Jesus into the darkness. Jesus prayed, not that believers would be taken out of the world, but that we would be protected from the evil one. We have the Lord’s protection as we walk among unbelievers and bring the light. Your light must be visible, let it shine brightly. You need to stay connected to the giver of light in order for you to bear the light. Will you?

We are to be peacemakers. Peacemakers will be blessed by God. As far as it depends on you, be at peace with everyone. When we recognize that people are held in Satan’s grip, we are better able to be non-judgmental and just relate to them as people. Let love fill your heart. They are not aware that they are being held captive, they need our prayers. We are the ones to rescue them. God has called us to set the captive free. By the power of the Holy Spirit we can. Pray that the Holy Spirit would show you, and for His protection as you go into the darkness. Without Him we can do nothing. Remain in tune with His guidance and leading. Will you?

Recommendations include:
- a proactive role of the US president which would demonstrate to the US and the World that preventing genocide and mass atrocities is a national priority
- creating an body within the United States National Security Council to analyze threats and consider preventative action
- set up a fund of $250 million for crisis prevention and response
- help create an international network for the sharing of information and the coordination of preventative action

And in you all the families of the earth will be blessed."

And I will bless those who bless you,
And the one who curses you I will curse
And in you all the families of the earth will be blessed."

It will come about also in that day that a great trumpet will be blown, and those who were perishing in the land of Assyria and who were scattered in the land of Egypt will come and worship the LORD in the holy mountain at Jerusalem. Isaiah 27:13
