Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you. Matt 5:44 - Richard and Carolyn Hyde from Heart of G-d Ministries

Shalom dear Friends and Prayer Partners,

Thank you all for praying for our precious daughter-in-law Shayla's citizenship. We were due to go to a higher court in Jerusalem but the night before the court date, the Ministry of Interior, MOI, cancelled the meeting! Since we were in Jerusalem with our sons and their families anyway, we consulted our attorney, Michael Decker, who told us that "within 21 days the MOI will notify us regarding citizenship revocation proceedings". So we've learned the real motive behind all these delays is to try and revoke my (Carolyn's) citizenship. They say that I made Aliyah (immigrated) under "false pretenses" by declaring that I'm a Jew.

Of course, I am a Jew. Apostle Paul said he was a "Hebrew of the Hebrews," and so am I. Both Paul and I happen to follow the Messiah Yeshua. If I followed buddha or some other idol, the MOI would have no problem with me, but to follow Yeshua? Suddenly they declare I'm "not Jewish" anymore. So this is the bottom line for them: you can believe in anything except the Way, the Truth and the Life and still be Jewish!

When we asked Michael if the real reason behind all of this persecution is because of our outreaches, he said most likely yes. We must add that there is something good about persecution - it strengthens your faith and resolve to stand for the truth. We are sharing this NOT so you'll hate the ultra-Orthodox. Please don't hate them, but pray for those who persecute us and ask G-d for a road to Damascus experience for the Shas Party, who control the MOI.

"Indeed, all who desire to live godly in Messiah Yeshua will be persecuted." 2 Tim 3:12

A Living Testimony

After visiting a young man he had led to the L-rd the week before,

our son Ariel was ready to go home and enjoy Shabbat with his family. However, the L-rd told him to continue to walk down the beach. Soon he came to a deserted area where

he saw a young woman sitting on the beach. She turned to Ariel and asked him what time it was. Ariel took this as a sign that she was the one the L-rd wanted him to minister to. He sat with her and after hearing the Good News and the hope that Yeshua brings, she prayed to receive Him! Then she said, "I made a terrible mistake." She explained that she'd just taken 120 pills to leave this life of single parenthood and abuse but now she wanted to live - and then she passed out! So Ariel quickly called an ambulance. He texted us, saying only that he was in an ambulance and to pray for him. Yikes!

The doctors couldn't believe she survived and were astounded. The next morning after Shabbat services, Richard and I picked up groceries and followed Ariel and family to visit Amaliyah, who miraculously was discharged from the hospital that morning! We were cautiously welcomed into her Muslim Bedouin village as they couldn't figure out what we were doing there. You see, Amaliyah didn't tell her parents what happened and asked us to explain. So Ariel told the story to her father, who was clearly the patriarch of the family. He was near tears when he realized that Ariel saved her life.

After sharing the Gospel with the father, Ariel asked if we could pray for him. He had a significant pain in his back, which the L-rd healed miraculously. Of course, after he was healed he gathered his whole family around so we could pray for all of them. Next his wife entered and soon all the aunts and cousins arrived and many were prayed for and received healings and even words of knowledge! Then they insisted on serving us a Bedouin feast afterwards - beautiful people! Please pray that they will all follow Yeshua. An Arabic speaking pastor is following up with them...

"I plan to use your song 'Fine Linen' at my church in the UK for a dance during Sukkot. This is the first time we've been allowed to present something like this. This song is so anointed!"

We write L-rd and G-d in this way because it's a Jewish custom that Carolyn grew up with and it's done only out of reverence and honor for the name of the L-rd. Thanks for understanding.

Love Your Enemies: Conan O'Brien Says Israel Deserves Nobel Prize For Treatment of Syrians - Israel Today

Love Your Enemies: Conan O'Brien Says Israel Deserves Nobel Prize For Treatment of Syrians

Popular late night television host Conen O'Brien has been in Israel for the past week filming a segment of his documentary series "Conan Without Borders."

While there have been a lot of laughs, Conan's also made some very serious stops as he makes his way through the Holy Land.

One was to Ziv Medical Center in the Galilee city of Safed, where thousands of Syrians wounded in their nation's bloody civil war have been treated.

The fact that Israel and Syria remain officially at war was not lost on Conan.

"I am amazed and excited by what is being done here at Ziv for the sake of people from a neighboring country and an enemy," he told the Ziv medical personnel, as reported by The Jerusalem Post.

Conan went on to state that if it were up to him, the Israeli doctors involved in this selfless, life-saving work "need to receive the Nobel Peace Prize."

Several thousand Syrians, on both sides of the conflict, have in recent years made their way to the border with Israel, desperate for help and medical attention.

And Israel has been there to answer the call.
