Shalom Friends,
1) We had a good Jewish Seekers Study at our Chatsworth location last evening (Tuesday 2/3).
We told and drew treasures from the story of Moshe (Moses) at the Burning Bush (Exodus 3). (Attached is a study sheet all received, with insights as to what the Divine Name, Yahweh, means).
We heard again of Moshe encountering God at the supernaturally burning bush, and how he heard the audible voice of God calling him. So our discussion turned to encounters with God we have had. Jaxon Redding shared his gripping story of how God saved his life, during a near death experience, and simultaneously gave him a vision of masses and masses of people, the Middle Easterners were prominent and especially Orthodox Jews. Those in the front were moved with emotion and weeping as though they had seen something awesome. Then he saw scales falling from their eyes, and they began to see better than ever before. Jaxon heard God speak to him, calling him to reach out to Jewish people to be one of His emissaries to bring them to behold the LORD Yeshua, their Messiah. Jaxon was overcome with emotion as told us of his vision-call, as a Gentile emissary to the Jewish people.
Then Jeannine Wilson shared the vision she had not long ago of seeing a man of clay rise from an area of earthen soil shaped like Israel. As she watched this man of clay began to rise. He was still covered in dirt. He then began to sprint, faster. And as he ran the race, the Gentile nations were like spectators, watching from the sides but cheering him on, saying "Come on, Israel!...You can make it! We know you can do it! Go, Israel! Don't give up! Hang in the there. You will make it, Israel!" This vision is another powerful image of how the Gentile nations are to be cheering Israel on, supporting Israel, backing Israel as Israel run's to fulfill her God-given destiny. to reach the finish line of History.
(That vision has been artfully created on the DVD cover for the new documentary film, called "The Living Stones," just out, produced by Matt and Jeannine Wilson via their Yeshua's Harvest Ministries. You may obtain a copy by visiting their web site and making contact @ http://www.yeshuasharvest.org/ )
It was amazing how these two visions by people in our network converge and confirm for us several truths:
1) God still speaks in dreams and visions
2) True visions from God confirm His Word (in this case Romans 11), but bring it to specific and graphic application.
3) God is very concerned now, in our times, for the redemption of Israel, the salvation of Jewish people, and he wants to use Gentile believers as his agents, His hands and feet and voice. And that means you!
I want to say "Hallelujah!".... I just did!
2) We are producing an outreach event via a Purim Celebration in Chatsworth on March 10th. Jaxon is directed the first, open casting rehearsal for the Purim play this Saturday at 4 p.m. We need more men. Hey you guys come on out! I will be there. I hope you will come! Flyers/invitations will be printed next week.
3) I am teaching the last for 4 Sundays at Lake Avenue Church in Pasadena this Sunday, Feb. 8th. The topic is: Yeshua in the Jewish Feasts and Our Message to the Jewish People. We have had between 55- 75 turning out for these. This is high level academic teaching.
