From Jew to Completed Jew and the Amazing Miracle From God: He Wanted to Assure Me That Jesus is Lord

I bring this article out frequently because it is miraculous what God did in my life. If you have not read this before, I do hope and pray that it blesses you!

But today I was just about knocked over by something which I will reveal at the end of this piece.

But before I tell the readers, I must repost the original article:

Originally written in 2015, I bring this article out every few years.  And I pray that some of my people might happen upon it, and believe in their hearts that Yeshua was and IS the long awaited Messiah of the Whole world.

If you have Jewish friends who are searching for truth, perhaps this article would open their eyes!

This story makes my heart leap inside my chest whenever I tell it. Being Jewish, it was miraculous enough that the Lord opened my eyes to Jesus, and helped me see Him with my heart. But what transpired a couple of weeks later was truly a gift from Him.

After the glorious night of my salvation all I wanted to do was read my Bible. I honestly forgot to eat meals sometimes because I was so absorbed in His Word. I wanted to please Him in every way. Almost instantly I knew that He wanted me to stop doing certain things. I had an aversion to off-color TV shows and movies. Soap operas were gone forever, and I had been addicted to them for years.

I saw the world differently. It was like He gave me new vision, like I was seeing people through His eyes. I wanted to stop every person I saw and ask them, “Do you know Jesus?” I was even able to discern people who loved Him. It was a certain look in their eyes. When I would finally ask if they knew Him, the answer was almost always, “Yes” and if not, it gave me an open door to tell them about Yeshua and His love for them.

My Jewish parents and siblings were not so thrilled. Well, perhaps that’s an understatement. They thought I was completely meshugana (crazy in Yiddish). But I quietly treasured in my heart that I knew the truth, and I prayed that my family would one day know it as well.

A week before my water baptism, I spoke to a lady at a Messianic congregation in Maryland – Beth Messiah. I was very excited to know other Jews who knew the truth about Messiah Yeshua. She was as excited as I was. She asked me if I had looked at Isaiah 53. I had not, but I told her that I would look after our conversation. She told me that she would mail to me literature about Beth Messiah.

Isaiah 53. OY! How did I miss that for so many years? It was an accurate description of Yeshua being led to Calvary to be slaughtered for the sins of the world. I read it over and over. I could not believe that such a picture of the Crucifixion was in my Old Testament that entire time.

I wanted to obey Him in all things. My friend told me about baptism, and how He wanted us all to be baptized after we were born-again. I told her that I wanted to be baptized—the sooner the better. Then the day of my baptism came.

As I came up from the water, I uttered some words which I did not understand. I felt that God wanted me to remember these words so I kept repeating them quietly to myself. The next day I received an envelope from Beth Messiah. There was a cover page which told about the congregation. I saw the first words which I had said “H’brit Chadashah” on this page.

My heart was beating so fast. Beside the words was the translation: “The New Testament.” I realized that I had spoken Hebrew! I was not Bat Mitzvah’d -only confirmed in my synagogue, so I did not learn Hebrew.”Then I saw the next word I had said “Yeshua” which means Jesus.

But the last word I had said was not there. It was “mannah” and I had to know what it meant. I called the home of my rabbi. His wife answered. I told her who I was and that I found a word and thought it was Hebrew. I told her it was “mannah.” She said, “Of course that is Hebrew. It is manna, the bread from heaven.”

Well, I almost passed out. I had said in Hebrew: “The New Testament of Jesus is the bread from heaven!” What a glorious gift to receive from Him; a confirmation that what I believed was TRUE, and given to me in Hebrew.

I told a Baptist minister this story. He told me that in 38 years of hearing “tongues” stories, mine was the first one he believed. He said that it was done in accordance with Scripture. He told me that he would never forget it.

 What I learned today:

Do you know what BETHLEHEM means in Hebrew?

Beth means HOUSE.

Lehem or (Lechem) means BREAD.

HOUSE OF BREAD!!

Brethren – does that excite you as it does me?

Therefore they said to Him, “What sign will You perform then, that we may see it and believe You? What work will You do?  Our fathers ate the manna in the desert; as it is written, ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’

Then Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, Moses did not give you the bread from heaven, but My Father gives you the true bread from heaven.  For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”

 “Then they said to Him, “Lord, give us this bread always.” (John 6: 30-40)

COME LORD JESUS!

UK To Greenlight Experiments To “Dim The Sun” In Bid To Stop Global Warming

From zerohedge.com

It’s a project reminiscent of the movie Snowpiercer, in which governments institute a global experiment to spray chemicals into the atmosphere to stop global warming and end up creating a new ice age instead.  Once again reality is downstream from fiction as the UK is set to bankroll an experiment to “dim the sun”.  This goal will be pursued in field trials which could include injecting aerosols into the atmosphere, or brightening clouds to reflect sunshine.

The project is being considered by scientists as a way to prevent “runaway climate change”, despite the fact that there is zero evidence to support the claim of runaway climate change.

Aria, the Government’s advanced research and invention funding agency, has set aside £50 million for projects, which will be announced in the coming weeks.

Prof Mark Symes, the program director for Aria (Advanced Research and Invention Agency), said there would be “small controlled outdoor experiments on particular approaches”.

“We will be announcing who we have given funding to in a few weeks and when we do so we will be making clear when any outdoor experiments might be taking place,” he said.

“One of the missing pieces in this debate was physical data from the real world. Models can only tell us so much.  Everything we do is going to be safe by design. We’re absolutely committed to responsible research, including responsible outdoor research.  We have strong requirements around the length of time experiments can run for and their reversibility and we won’t be funding the release of any toxic substances to the environment.”

One major area of research is Sunlight Reflection Methods (SRM), which includes Stratospheric Aerosol Injection (SAI) whereby tiny particles are released into the stratosphere to reflect sunlight.

Another potential project is Marine Cloud Brightening (MCB) in which ships would spray sea-salt particles into the sky to enhance the reflectivity of low-lying clouds.

Climate scientists say efforts to reduce carbon emissions are not working fast enough and that levels are “too high”, leading to irregular weather patterns and eventually the temperature “tipping point” in which an exponential crisis is created by heat creating carbon and then carbon creating more heat.

The problem is that nothing in this theory is backed by causational evidence or the climate history of the Earth.  In other words, climate scientists are siphoning up government grant money to create solutions to a problem that doesn’t exist.

The vast majority of climate change theories are based on data collected since the 1880s – 140 years of data is a insignificant window of time in the long lifespan of the Earth’s climate.

When we look at the temperature data over millions of years, we find that today’s temps are near the lowest in our planet’s history (we just exited an Ice Age not long ago and climate scientists want us to believe it’s too hot).

When comparing millions of years of carbon data to parallel temperature data, it becomes clear that there is no correlation between carbon levels and global warming.  This graph also proves that carbon and temperature levels can rise and fall independently of human industry and human industry’s effects on these patterns is negligible or non-existent.

There is also no data to prove correlation or causation between carbon emissions and extreme weather patterns.  The entirety of the climate change theory is based on lab models with no corresponding examples in nature.  It is pure hysteria.  

This makes the use of atmospheric manipulation by governments all the more disturbing.  If they truly are trying to “dim the sun” for the sake of preventing global warming, then they are doing so based on a delusion.  There is also the possibility that they know man-made climate change is nonsense and these experiments serve another purpose.  In either case, they should be stopped.  No one voted for politicians to blot out the sun (or to find a way to blot out the sun).  No one gave them permission to pump particulates or chemicals into the sky.  Their actions constitute a radical violation of the public trust.

COME, DEAR LORD JESUS!

Hold Fast To The Head

By Brother Bill Oldham

“Let no one cheat you of your reward, taking delight in false humility and worship of angels, intruding into those things which he has not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, and not holding fast to the Head, from whom all the body, nourished and knit together by joints and ligaments, grows with the increase that is from God.” Colossians 2:18-19

The apostle Paul was engaged in a great spiritual battle when he wrote these words. He knew that ravaging wolves were trying to work their way into the flock at the church in Colossae; they were trying to introduce lies that would turn the sheep away from their Shepherd; to turn the child of God away from the Father: to turn the bride away from her husband; to turn the Christian away from Christ. And, make no mistake: the wolves are still working to destroy the church of God today.

The success of the wolves’ deception depends on two things: (1) The Devil’s ability to so alter their appearance and manner that they look like preachers sent straight from God. Here’s how Jesus described them:

“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Therefore by their fruits you will know them.” Matthew 7:15-20

The apostle Paul says this:

“…Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.” 2 Corinthians 11:14-15

So the wolves are going to appear as the real deal: eloquent, charming, smooth talkers, charismatic people with winning ways. WOW! How in the world could a person know for sure that they were not being spiritually seduced by a wolf? How may we discern whether their fruit is good or bad? Their success depends on, (2) people’s ignorance of God’s word, the Scriptures. God’s word is a lamp unto our feet, and a light unto our path. Without the discernment that God’s word gives: the wolves are able to ravage the flock

What is the Devil’s agenda in all this? If we look at the agenda of the Devil in the Garden, we’ll see that his agenda hadn’t changed at the church in Collosae, and he continues to work it in the church today at full force.

God made man in His own image and likeness so there could be unity, relationship and fellowship between man and God: The Lord God was going to elevate man to a position with Himself that no other created being would ever hold. When Lucifer saw this, out of pride and jealousy, he determined to undermine and destroy God’s plan. Through skillful deception, he was able to bring sin and death into the world: ending God’s plans—he thought!

But God had other thoughts, and He put a hook into Satan’s mind by telling him what he was going to do to him without any details. “I’m going to bring a Seed from the woman that’s going to crush your head.”

When the Lord promised Abraham that the Seed was going to come from his lineage, the Devil was immediately filled with a hatred for Abraham and his family. And that hatred continues to this very hour as evidenced by the Devil’s children around the world. Until Christ came on the scene, the Devil was in the dark as to who the Seed would be.

When Christ was born, the Devil was allowed to know this was the promised Seed that would crush his head. And so he set out vigorously to kill the Seed before the Seed could crush him, as seen in King Herod’s slaughter of the children. It seems as though the Father then hid His Son in the lowly village of Nazareth for 30 years, excepting His appearance in the temple when He was 12.

When Jesus was baptized, the Devil then fired up his children to destroy Him anyway he could. He began his work by the personal temptations in the wilderness. When that didn’t work, he put his hate into his children, and put them to work to persecute, harass, hound and finally execute Jesus in the most cruel method known to man. The Devil thought he had surely succeeded in destroying the Seed of God.

But all of what the Devil and rulers of this world had accomplished at Calvary was simply to deliver Jesus to the, “determined purpose and foreknowledge of God.” Paul said that what happened to Jesus was ordained of God, according to the wisdom of God, which none of the rulers of this age knew; for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of Glory. 1 Corinthians 2:6-8

We sinners, the Jewish leaders, and the Roman soldiers all caused Jesus to be crucified, but the prophet Isaiah declares that it was the Lord who was responsible for Jesus’ death.

“…The Lord laid on Him the iniquity of us all… it pleased the Lord to bruise Him; He has put Him to grief. When you make His soul an offering for sin, He shall see His seed…” Isaiah 53:6-10

“Jesus Christ is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible…He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence…in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power.” Colossians 1:15-2:10

So what was the devil’s agenda in the Colossae church, and what is it today? One and the same: to seduce the child of God away from Christ. In Paul’s day, the wolves were teaching the flock that faith in Christ was not enough; they had to basically become a Jewish convert to be saved. But then some came in teaching that they had “special revelation”, which only the privileged few had access to.

They were teaching them to pray to angels, and they were teaching them to physically abuse themselves to control their fleshly desires. They were teaching them that the flesh and the spirit were disconnected so that they could indulge in their fleshly lusts and it didn’t affect their spiritual life. All of which was designed to turn them from holding fast onto Christ.

What do we see alive and well in the church world? How about praying to dead people for starters; elevating dead people as the ones to pray to and find help? God has elevated Christ to the highest position in heaven; Jesus is Lord over all in heaven and on earth; He is Head over all. And God’s word plainly tells us we have free and bold access to God the Father through Jesus at all times.

How about pastors openly advocating and teaching their congregants to lay the Bible aside? Jesus Christ is the living Word of God; the Scriptures, God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ are inseparable.

How about “pastors and teachers” embracing and promoting same-sex marriage; and DEI, and abortion?

Its really this simple: the modern church, the Laodicean church has believed the lie and has welcomed the world into its midst, embracing its treasures and pleasures—and has left Christ standing on the outside.

Paul said he struggled greatly against this in his day; God’s children can do no less. The devil’s great deception and the church world’s acceptance of it now is setting the stage for the worldwide acceptance and welcoming of the antichrist when he appears.

What are the children of God to do at this present time: Hold fast to the Head, who is Christ. Deny your pleasure loving life and devote yourself to prayer and God’s word. Hold fast to Christ by loving as Christ loved; serve one another wholeheartedly; renew your minds that you may have the same mind as Christ; seek to live and walk as Jesus did.

Hold Fast to Jesus, for He is coming!
