NESS ENERGY INTERNATIONAL, INC.
UPDATE | July 1, 2020
Greetings to all of you faithful stockholders who have continued to pray and believe for the fulfillment of Ness’ mission and the resurrection of the company. The only movement since the November 2019 update is my progressive revelation and understanding of how the application of the Royal Law of Love should be practiced in every situation of our lives and business.
James 2:8 TPT The Passion Translation
8 Your calling is to fulfill the royal law of love[a] as given to us in this Scripture: “You must love and value your neighbor as you love and value yourself!”[b]
For keeping this law is the noble way to live.
A good portion of the last update was concerning the New Covenant love of God. Those that believe in God’s son and receive His love and grace are indebted to give that same grace and love to others- even their enemies. The entire bible focus boils down to this one theme, love, God’s redeeming love for mankind.
Jesus’ first mention of prayer in the bible is his command to pray for our enemies.
Matthew 5:43-48 TPT
43 “Your ancestors have also been taught ‘Love your neighbors[a] and hate the one who hates you.’ 44 However, I say to you, love your enemy, bless the one who curses you, do something wonderful for the one who hates you,[b] and respond to the very ones who persecute you by praying for them. 45 For that will reveal your identity as children of your heavenly Father. He is kind to all by bringing the sunrise to warm and rainfall to refresh whether a person does what is good or evil. 46 What reward do you deserve if you only love the loveable? Don’t even the tax collectors[c] do that? 47 How are you any different from others if you limit your kindness[d] only to your friends? Don’t even the ungodly[e] do that? 48 Since you are children of a perfect Father in heaven, you are to be perfect[f] like him.”
If Believers expect to enjoy the full benefits and blessing provided for under the terms of the New Covenant they must honor and act on what those terms require. According to Ness’ mission statement, the company should represent the God of the New Covenant and therefore, honor the terms and conditions of that covenant. Because Jay Petroleum, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of the public company, Isramco owes Ness Energy “additional cash consideration” and it has ignored its obligation and refuses to honor the terms of the agreement. Because of their refusal to pay Ness Energy what is owed, they are considered to be a type of an enemy of Ness Energy. Since Jesus commands His followers, that love Him, to pray for and bless their enemies; then as president and chairman of the board of Ness, I am hereby declaring I will be praying for and blessing Jay Petroleum and its officers and directors.
Understand though, I have sought legal counsel and have a plan to pursue the most cost effective legal means to try and obtain the funds due Ness. I have even had several phone conversations with a wonderful and supportive stockholder who proposed to me a viable solution to raise the capital to fund the legal action to force Jay Petroleum into arbitration. But, after sixty days of prayerfully considering the matter in light of God’s word, I have decided to follow the remedy prescribed under the terms of the New Covenant. That imperative is to pray for and bless the company and its officers and directors who have unreasonably and unjustly withheld and ignored Ness’ requests for payment.
I began praying periodically over Jay Petroleum and those in authority for several years now, but I must admit, I did so too passively and inconsistently. That changed a week ago. I have begun praying for them earnestly and consistently, the way I would want someone to pray for me and Ness Energy. I read and pray some of my favorite scriptures over them and I recommend every committed stockholder to pray similarly. Pray for them as you would want someone to pray for you. If we can determine a need that company has and that is within Ness’ power to meet, Ness will meet it!
BREAKTHROUGH
For over two years now, I have consistently been directed to different scriptures concerning breakthrough for Ness Energy. Two days ago while praying about God’s plan, it happened again. Here is the scripture that came to me:
Psalms 51:14 TPT
Let my passion for life be restored,
tasting joy[a] in every breakthrough you bring to me.
Hold me close to you with a willing spirit
that obeys whatever you say.
Breakthroughs can manifest when we honor the terms and conditions of the New Covenant. The most challenging, but the most impactful of Jesus commands, is to bless and pray for our enemies. When believers surrender and obey this command that is when they most accurately represent God’s true nature to people. The covenant is founded on God’s love and free grace that provided the Redeemer for all mankind. We are required to imitate God and give the same love and free grace that has been given to us through Jesus. We received this same marvelous gift even when we were still enemies of God. Therefore, we are required to extend the same rich grace and love to our enemies.
Romans 13:8 TPT:
8 Don’t owe anything to anyone, except your outstanding debt to continually love one another,[b] for the one who learns to love has fulfilled every requirement of the law. 9 For the commandments, “Do not commit adultery, do not murder, do not steal, do not covet,”[c] and every other commandment can be summed up in these words:
“Love and value others the same way you love and value yourself.”[d]
10 Love makes it impossible to harm another, so love fulfills all that the law requires.
Therefore, as a believer in Christ, I am bound by the terms of the covenant to continually be praying for and blessing Jay Petroleum and those in authority. Also, it is a means to continue to pay the debt of love I owe its officers and directors. These men need to see the heart and purpose of their Messiah, Yeshua through Ness Energy! What a divinely prepared opportunity we have to represent the grace and love Yeshua to them!
As we begin to practice this command for our enemies, I offer the following application for each of us from the booklet titled: “The Love of God Expressed in the Commands of Christ” published by IBLP. The booklet recommends that for the command to “love your enemies” the following is offered for personal application:
First step is to: “Examine My Heart” and ask;
Can I identify any “enemies” in my life?
What blessing have I given my enemies?
Have I identified needs in the lives of my enemies?
Have I asked God to show me creative ways to benefit my enemies?
Am I praying for my enemies?
Have I identified positive qualities in my enemies?
Have I asked God to make me a channel of His love?
Do I understand the mercy that God gives me?
Do I continue to do good to my enemies even when I do not see any changes?
Luke 6:35 TPT
35 But love your enemies and continue to treat them well. When you lend money, don’t despair[a] if you are never paid back, for it is not lost. You will receive a rich reward and you will be known as true children of the Most High God, having his same nature. For your Father is famous for his kindness to heal[b] even the thankless and cruel.
Romans 12:14, 18-21 AMPC
14 Bless those who persecute you [who are cruel in their attitude toward you]; bless and do not curse them.
18 If possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.
19 Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave the way open for [God’s] wrath; for it is written, Vengeance is Mine, I will repay (requite), says the Lord.
20 But if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals upon his head.
21 Do not let yourself be overcome by evil, but overcome (master) evil with good.
When we honor God’s word by obeying Jesus’ commands, we then allow Jesus to be our Defender and He then can actually become our Advocate, our legal representative, our attorney. Then God, the Judge, can become our vindicator and avenger! He can issue a righteous judgment on our behalf!
I ask that you please pray daily in agreement with me for blessings on Jay Petroleum and the officers and directors and their families.
Pray the Lord will send workers into the harvest to minister to them and speak into their lives. I ask also, that you please pray, what I consider to be, one of the most powerful prayers in the New Testament:
Ephesians 3:16-21 AMPC
16 May He grant you out of the rich treasury of His glory to be strengthened and reinforced with mighty power in the inner man by the [Holy] Spirit [Himself indwelling your innermost being and personality].
17 May Christ through your faith [actually] dwell (settle down, abide, make His permanent home) in your hearts! May you be rooted deep in love and founded securely on love,
18 That you may have the power and be strong to apprehend and grasp with all the saints [God’s devoted people, the experience of that love] what is the breadth and length and height and depth [of it];
19 [That you may really come] to know [practically, [e]through experience for yourselves] the love of Christ, which far surpasses [f]mere knowledge [without experience]; that you may be filled [through all your being] [g]unto all the fullness of God [may have the richest measure of the divine Presence, and [h]become a body wholly filled and flooded with God Himself]!
20 Now to Him Who, by (in consequence of) the [action of His] power that is at work within us, is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly, far over and above all that we [dare] ask or think [infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes, or dreams]—
21 To Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations forever and ever. Amen (so be it).
God’s richest blessings on all of you for your faithfulness to the divine assignment Ness Energy represents to the Diaspora, the Jews in Israel and Israel itself!
In Jesus Name,
David M. Boyce
