Sid: Many years ago God showed me as a Jewish believer in the Messiah that there is a law of evangelism; when you go to the Jew first it’s like planting a seed that will bring life from the dead, and results in the greatest Gentile salvation. As a matter of fact, the greatest harvest in history is about ready to happen. You can read about in Amos the 9th chapter the 11th verse it says “In that day I will raise up the fallen tabernacle of David.” In Hebrew the word
“tabernacle” means “house,” or it could mean “family.” God says “That when He raises up the fallen family of David they will possess the remnant of the Gentiles.” In other words, when you see Jewish people being born again it will be as Paul says in Romans the 11th chapter he’s saying the same thing “Life from the dead.” Then the 13th verse of the 9th chapter of Amos talks about a revival that the world has never seen before. There’s going to be so much harvest, so much fruit that the people that plant the seed the next year when they go to plant the seed fruit is still going to be there because there won’t be enough workers there to gather in all of the harvest. When is this going to happen? When the tabernacle, or when the family, the house of David the Jewish people are restored.
I just got back last month from Israel. I was there during the Biblical festival of Shavuot, of Pentecost. I saw something I’m told they’ve never seen before. We rented 2 secular auditoriums, and we ran newspaper ads saying “Lecture on the Supernatural.” The first meeting, there were 200 seats the majority of the seats were taken. The second meeting, there were 300 seats and all the seats were taken. Not with tourists, not with believers, but predominantly people off the street that were reading newspaper… let me tell you about one woman that was at this meeting. She was tall, she was young, she was beautiful, she was obviously an Israeli, and my Joy was with me. This woman she was so striking my just noticed her. Then when I gave the altar call the majority of these 300 people raised their hand to receive the Messiah, the majority of them. I understand from having worked in the former Soviet Union that many times people have said professions of faith more than once, and they just keep doing it again and again. Of course many times it’s a start, but they’re not real serious, but it is a start and God hears that start. So I decided to be as selective as possible. I said “Everyone that has said that prayer… now you have never said a prayer like that before in your life. This is a first time I want you to come forward.” Thirty-three Israelis came forward for me to lay hands on them. One of the 33 was this tall young beautiful Israeli that had caught my wife’s eye at the beginning of the meeting. So then after I prayed for these 33… imagine 33 Israelis in Israel. This is unprecedented, this is unheard of, and the meeting before was over 20 came to the Lord. So we’re saying over 50 Israelis made first time decisions for the Lord in the land of Israel. We were able… because of the strategy God gave me we were able to, literally able to, get in under the radar. When this beautiful tall young Israeli was given the book I’m making available to you “They Thought for Themselves” in Hebrew. This is what she did, she clutched the book to herself, she put in her chest, she took her arms and she just held it as if was the most precious gift that she had ever received in her life, and it was. Because this is a book God told me to write, 10 testimonies of Jewish people from 10 different walks of life, my testimony is one of them in the new addition in English. She clutched it as if it were the most precious gift she had ever seen, but she didn’t just do this for 10 seconds, or for 60 seconds. My wife said she must have done this for 5 or 10 minutes just holding on to this book.
You see these decisions were not because of my great speaking ability. These decisions were made because I made myself available to God. That’s all He’s asking for. No one can lead an Israeli in the land of Israel, let alone 33 of them to the Lord in one evening. Over 50 in two evenings no one can do this, but one of the rabbis, the Messianic Jewish Rabbis that were there he said “That God opened his when I told those that have never made a decision before to come forward.” When those 33 came forward including that tall young beautiful Israeli that I was telling about, and most of the people by the way were young. When she came forward with the other 33 someone came forward with them. This is what he said when God removed the spiritual scales from his eyes; he said he “Saw a gigantic man and this man was dressed in white and His garments were just glistening, they were gleaning, and He walked up with these 33 Israelis because He was so big He put His arms around them and embraced them as if He was a groom and that was His bride.” Do you know who that man was? The King of the Jews, Yeshua, Jesus Himself is going after the lost sheep of the House of Israel. I had to make myself available; I believe this was historic what occurred at Shavuot, at Pentecost. I believe this is the beginning of great and mighty move of God’s Spirit among Jewish people that will infect the church. You say “Sid that’s a strong word” yes it is going to infect the church just the way I was over 30 years ago when I became a new Jewish believer in the Messiah. All I knew is Jesus was real I didn’t know scripture I didn’t know anything and I couldn’t keep my mouth shut. Of course, I never have been able to keep my mouth shut ever since because once you have a real encounter with the real Messiah no one can keep quiet about it.
So this is about ready to happen and can you picture these new Jewish believers getting into your church? Paul pictures that he says “If it was a blessing” in Romans 11 “If it was a blessing that the Jewish people rejected their Messiah, how much greater blessing when they receive their Messiah.” It will literally bring life from the dead. We’re going to see resurrection power in the church where literally not only people that are spiritually dead are going to be coming to life, but I believe people that are physically dead are going to be coming to life. We’re going to see these greater miracles, and they’re about ready to happen. It’s not going to be just because of the Jewish believer, and it’s not just going to be just because of the Gentile Christian, it’s going to be when the 2 are merged; this is why Paul prayed so fervently in the Epistles. He said in the book of Ephesians “That the middle wall of separation would come down between Jew and Gentile to form One New Man in the Messiah.” You know who that New Man it’s the one in that glistening gown I was telling you about that went after 33 Jewish predominantly young Israelis who had never heard anything about Jesus. Well I take it back there was another person there that I got to know, another beautiful woman that came to the Lord at that meeting. She said “For months before the meeting she was thinking about Jesus.” Do you see what God’s doing? It’s a setup. There is a setup going on in your life right now. I believe that God is going to have, or has had, a Jewish person cross your path.
