Shalom dear Friends and Prayer Partners,
While in Jerusalem recently, I was waiting for the light rail. A young Orthodox Jewish man sitting there looked familiar so I began to speak with him. We spoke with joy to one another - a divine appointment for sure! Then he handed me a tract of Rabbi Nachman so I asked him, "Is this your Messiah?" When he replied yes, I said, "He's not Messiah; I believe Yeshua is Messiah." Suddenly O's face darkened and he said, "But you're Jewish! Why?!" So I explained why I follow Yeshua. How can you argue with someone who has had a vision of the Messiah? He couldn't argue but he was really sad. I spoke kind words to him and his face brightened up and we spoke more until my train arrived. I entered the train and looked back at him and to my surprise, he stood and waved with joy at me!
The next day before singing at an outreach, I met another young man who's studying in a Yeshiva. I invited him to the concert and he came! After a few songs he had to leave, but he approached the stage to get my number and he's already called. He knows I'm a believer but he loves the music and wants my CD's! Later that night I was thinking why does the L-rd always send either young or older Orthodox Jewish men as divine appointments? Suddenly I thought of Joel 2:28 and prayed for an increase in dreams and visions!
And that's exactly what happened the next day! At another event while a rabbi from Judea spoke, I translated in the back for a Muslim who didn't speak English. Afterwards I told the rabbi that it was funny for me, a Messianic Jew to translate a rabbi's speech for a Muslim. But when I told him I'm "Meshichit" (Messianic or literally "anointed" in Hebrew) he said we are all Meshichim. I was surprised but then he added, "You think Messiah already came but we all believe that He is coming soon!" We were in complete agreement on that!
