Reaching Israelis with Yeshua

Reported by an Israeli outreach worker (A Messianic Bible Worker)

 

“Only one person was interested in hearing about Yeshua today, his name was Yossi (Joseph).  We started to talk and he said he doesn’t even believe in God. 

“I asked him why he didn’t believe in God” – and he said, “my mother died when I she was only 37 years old, and if there was God, I don’t think that God would take her away… if there was a God.”

I asked Yossi, if he would be willing to take a Hebrew Tanakh and read it, and call me if he had any questions.  

I told him, “God loves you Yossi, and God wants you to have eternal life, and forgiveness of your sins.  And if you will read the Tanakh (Old Testament) and ask God to reveal Himself to you then He will, but you have to seek Him. 

And he said, ya, ok, I don’t think I’m going to call you, but I will read the Bible and what you underlined.

I replied, “God doesn’t want our works, He wants our heart – and if you ask Him to be in your heart, He will be there, and you will understand.”

 

That was 6 months ago!

Six months later, he called me and says in Hebrew:

“I read the Bible and what you underlined, and Isaiah 53 when I read it seems very Christian to me.” I told him that it’s more Jewish than Jewish… and I told him that I’d like to meet him to discuss it in person.  I told him to go to a synagogue and compare Bibles so that he could see that the Bible given to him was indeed a Jewish Bible.  

He then called me again and I asked him a simple question.

“Why did you ask me if it is a Christian prophecy when you know that it is a Jewish Bible, and how many Jewish people look at that prophecy and never say that it is a Christian prophecy?  Don’t you think Yossi that the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) is starting to work in you? 

 We then spent the next 6 hours together, which included me sharing the truth of who God really is through His Son Yeshua.

We then discussed the Messianic prophecies that he already read from the Bible that I left with him, and he said: “Even if I know the truth, what would I do with my family, my friends, and my life?”  I said, that you are going to have to pray to God and He will reveal it to you, and I can only assure that the Lord will never forsake.

Please pray for Yossi that he would let go of fear of rejection from friends, family, and basically everyone in Israel.


Who do you listen to,

LOS ANGELES – The Episcopal Diocese of Los Angeles elected a lesbian as assistant bishop Saturday, the second openly gay bishop in the global Anglican fellowship, which is already deeply fractured over the first.


V. Gene Robinson[1] (born May 29, 1947 in Fayette County, Kentucky) is the ninth bishop of the Diocese of New Hampshire in the Episcopal Church in the United States of America.[2][3] Robinson was elected bishop in 2003 and entered office in March 2004. Before becoming bishop, he served as assistant to the retiring New Hampshire bishop.

 

Robinson is widely known for being the first openly gay, non-celibate priest to be ordained a bishop in a major Christian denomination believing in the historic episcopate.[note 1] His sexual orientation was privately acknowledged in the 1970s, when he studied in seminary, was ordained, married, and started a family. He went public with his sexual identity and divorced in the 1980s. When delegates to the Episcopal convention were voting on the ratification of his election, it became an issue of controversy. His election was ratified 62 to 45. After his election, some theologically conservative parishes have aligned themselves with bishops outside the Episcopal Church in the United States, a process called the Anglican realignment. His story has appeared in print and film.

The World Definition of
What Being a Christian Is
differs from that of the Bible.





President Barack Obama bows his head as he prays with the congregation at Vermont Ave. Baptist Church in Washington, D.C., Sunday, Jan. 17, 2010.
If White House types was dismayed about the just released poll which suggests more people are confused about President Barack Obama's religious affiliation now than was true early last year, they hid it well.
At least, White House deputy press secretary Bill Burton who was traveling with the president to Martha's Vineyard appeared unperturbed.
Asked about the poll with the surprising result, Burton made a few key points. One, the president is a Christian who prays daily.

Also, most average Americans are too busy worrying about economy to pay much time thinking about the president's faith. Finally, the president is likewise concerned about the economy, too busy doing what presidents can do to push the economy into a higher gear to spend much time worrying about why a significant percentage of Americans mistakenly believe he's a Muslim.
 
Here's the relevant part of Burton's exchange with reporters:
REPORTER: The Pew poll came out today and there's some numbers on there that are interesting — one showing that the number of Americans who believe that the President is Muslim has gone up, while the number of Americans who believe the President is Christian has gone down. What do you guys make of that?
MR. BURTON:  Well, I think you have to understand that for most Americans, they're not reading a lot in the news about what religion the President is and anything other — what they're focused on is, you know, what you guys are focused on, which is important issues like what's happening in Iraq and Afghanistan, what's going on in the economy, what are we doing to create jobs — all these different issues.
And so the President is obviously a — is Christian.  He prays every day.  He communicates with his religious advisor every single day.  There's a group of pastors that he takes counsel from on a regular basis.  And his faith is very important to him, but it's not something that is a topic of conversation every single day.
REPORTER: So why do you think the American public has got these opinions of him that he's a Muslim and not a Christian?
MR. BURTON:  I just think people are focused on other issues and not paying all that much attention to exactly what the President does with his spirituality.  But as you all know and have covered extensively, he is Christian and his faith is very important to him.
REPORTER: Could the White House have — could the President speak more about his religion to counter this perception that he isn't Christian? He has talked about his faith in the past.  Could the White House have him come out and talk about it more?
MR. BURTON:  He has spoken about his faith extensively in the past. You can bet that he'll talk about his faith again.  You could always play the "would-of, could-of, should-of," but the President's top priority here isn't making sure that Americans know what a devout Christian he is, it's making sure that we're getting the economy on track and we're creating jobs in this country.
REPORTER: Is it frustrating to him though that so many people have this misperception? Did he have a reaction to these poll findings, do you know?
MR. BURTON:  I didn't talk to him about it, so I don't know what his reaction was. But I can't imagine that he is all that focused on some poll like this.
REPORTER: It suggests that the Americans — the American people don't really know him.  I mean, is that something that bothers him?
MR. BURTON: I think that's extrapolating too much from one poll, one day, and one of its questions.

You Cannot Be A Christian And Deny What The Scriptures Teach


 Lies can get you further in the world;

but you may never return.

 


Today, if you will (if you submit your will) hear God calling you in your heart; do not hearden your heart...but believe. God was manifested in flesh! His name is Jesus.


As always, times will show the hardship of the world. However, it is for you to stand by faith and not to allow yourself to be guided by sight! Fight the good fight of faith by allowing the Word (the living word) to flow through you and not the word of the world.


 Say yes to the Lord and no...to any other master over your life.


At the glass you can see your reflection fade, a glimpse of what the Creator made. Striking out toward your identity; shards of glass send you to eternity. Was better to see life fade, than to waste the life the Creator made.MKH 


Want to help God help others?

Then live the life you speak about!


God does not just hear your prayer, but acts upon it according to your words! Stop being religious and stand in faith! If you have lost your footing and need the prayer of agreement; use the 'contact us' link.


 Today!

You only have Today.

There is no going back,

and there is only hope

for tomorrow.

 Today, do the world a favour and smile!


Keep that which was given to you by the word of prophecy through the work of those God has given to enter into your life.

 

In time you might see the very messenger that brought to you hope and inspiration through faith fall into sin and grave danger of the soul.

 

Nevertheless, know this; that the word of God does not go out void.

 

Weather they rise or fall our faith is not in the man or woman that preaches the word of God. It is in the God of our faith. We all are under the test. Raither than voice a word of condemnation toward the very person that spoke the word of faith over your life or over the life of another; pray for them.

How you react toward another is how the Lord will react toward you!

 

If you hear your pastor talk more about 'those bad preachers' than you hear about the love of God; there is a reason. He or she is not practicing the love of God!

 

It is easy to make yourself look good in the eyes of foolish people in asserting that you are protecting the 'flock' by accusing others and condemning others.

 

However, those of us who have been around know the fate and heart of those who do such.

 

They hung black men and women in trees with a bible in there hand. They voice Christian nationalism in the United States of America. As if they can themselves change the heart of man.

 

Our world is not getting better - but far far worse.

 

Nevertheless, do not give up hope in the battle that is before you. The war will be won! But sadly many battles will be lost due to the hearts of men and women.

 

And you will suffer!

 

Grab hold of the times from which the Spirit of the Lord speaks so sweetly to you.

 

Hard times will come!

 

In the hard times we are not to be downcast and depressive - by any means.

 

Weather they rip the flesh from off your bones, and kill your family before your eyes;keep your eyes upon Him that suffered for not only your own soul but for the souls of which you gave your life for in doing the work of the Lord.

 

Though you may screem and feel weak and defeated before the eyes that are upon you.

 

Raise your heart for your hope is near!

 

The Lord will come!

Come Lord, come!

Hear O' Israel the Lord comes for His bride -

The Holy City of Israel;

The New City of Jersusalem.


Individual Within Nation


I wish it were sweeter, I wish it were more kind. O Lord if You had only taken wishing out of my mind. But the days are different, shadows vaguely clear. I'm understanding a different reality away from fear.


Because it keeps on coming after me like a troublesome sea underneath a ship upon which I boarded to be free. No instability in my legs as they take flight but they stumbling over my own delight.


I forgot the moment I fell to my knees, hashing over so many pleas. Have mercy, have mercy on me!


Complacency took over my fear of lost direction, thought I had it mapped out on my own. Found myself not facing life alone.


I love life.


Though sitting at a round table with a freshly ironed white skirt, drinking a glass of grapes to sooth my hurt.

Crippling is my amnesia as life cuts again too deep, my body needing anesthesia as my mind lies horizontal with no fruit to reap.


Crumbled dreams identify vanquished hope, livid over escaping those things in which I could not cope.


I desire freedom.


Pleasant is the hour of the mind which flowers toward the opportunity of what is before revealed through the dilapidated hope of a future that seems so up hill.

Pressing toward what is to be revealed, shaking off the effects of social decay, as others turn up a cool glass of water to swallow peace in the form of a pill.


Corrupt is this intrinsic moment where dreams only are to be targeted once they take flight.

Not time to bend swords to plowshares, inwardly a call rises up to fight.


I will peruse happiness.


Pop from an open window, shell casing falls in Texas; blood covers the dress of a societies queen.

Conflicts of conversion to a a nation defined by the conspiracy as it is not the last to be seen.


Hope still echoes, in the choice of your own voice, even amid the halls of hate. A voice from parchment lifted up to draw the line.

It is only for you to decide if it were mere human reasoning or Divine.


We hold these truths to be self evident

that all men are created equal

that they are empowered by their Creator

with inalienable rights,

that among them these are

Life,

Liberty,

and the pursuit of Happiness.
