This is not just God’s historical
order for spreading the gospel,
but also His eternal spiritual
order. When we follow this “law
of evangelism,” God opens a
supernatural door to reach greater
numbers of Gentiles. God’s heart
is to reach all people. His strategy

“The One New Man” from
Jews and Gentiles.
Jesus came to break down the wall
of separation between Jew and
Gentile. The Messiah was a Jew, and
the first believers were Jews. But how

become the opposite of Jewishness?
God’s answer for restoration is the
creation of the “One New Man”
as stated in Ephesians 2:14-16.
He wants to reconcile His “family”
which has grown apart for centuries.
When this happens, the stage is set
for worldwide revival. Warren Marcus blesses his grandson, Ocean.
