Caption transcript for Acts: Then and Now — “The Good News” (2/8)

• 00:13 GO YE THEREFORE AND TEACH ALL NATIONS
• 00:16 BAPTIZING THEM IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER AND OF THE SON AND OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
• 00:21 TEACHING THEM TO OBSERVE ALL THINGS WHATSOEVER I HAVE COMMANDED YOU
• 00:26 AND LO I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS EVEN UNTO THE END OF THE WORLD.
• 00:42 SHALOM AND WELCOME
• 00:44 TO ZOLA LEVITT PRESENTS
• 00:45 I'M MYLES WEISS
• 00:46 THIS IS MY WIFE
• 00:47 AND MY COHOST KATHARINE
• 00:49 AND TODAY WE'RE CONTINUING
• 00:50 IN OUR SERIES "ACTS THEN AND NOW...THE STORY CONTINUES"
• 00:53 AND WE'RE SEEING HOW THE BOOK OF ACTS
• 00:57 WAS THE BEGINNING OF A WHOLE NEW PHASE OF THE CHURCH LIFE
• 01:00 AND HOW THE GOSPEL WENT AROUND THE WORLD.
• 01:02 IT REALLY AFFECTED AMERICA DIDN'T IT?
• 01:04 IT AFFECTS WHERE EVER IT GOES.
• 01:05 IT BRINGS LIGHT AND LIFE AND LIBERTY.
• 01:08 AND ON THE BELL THAT MYLES IS GOING TO BE TALKING IN FRONT IN JERUSALEM
• 01:12 IS THE SCRIPTURE LEVITICUS 25:10.
• 01:15 IT TALKS ABOUT GOD'S LIBERTY.
• 01:17 AND THE WORD "LIBERTY" ITSELF IN HEBREW MEANS "JOY", "ALARM" AND "AWAKENING".
• 01:22 SO WHEN WE STAY IN HIS WORD AND WE STAY WITH HIM WE CAN WALK IN LIBERTY.
• 01:26 LET'S GO NOW AND HEAR MORE FROM MYLES IN JERUSALEM.
• 01:36 I'M HERE IN LIBERTY BELL PARK...
• 01:37 NOT IN PHILADELPHIA
• 01:39 BUT IN JERUSALEM.
• 01:40 BEHIND ME YOU SEE A LIBERTY BELL
• 01:42 THAT IS A COPY OF THE ONE IN THE UNITED STATES
• 01:44 AND WAS GIVEN AS A GIFT TO JERUSALEM IN 1976
• 01:48 WHEN THE 200TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WAS CELEBRATED.
• 01:54 THE GOSPEL LEFT HERE AND WENT AROUND THE WORLD TO THE WEST.
• 01:59 IT ROSE IN EUROPE...
• 02:00 IT ROSE IN THE UNITED STATES
• 02:02 AND NOW IT'S RISING IN THE EAST IN CHINA
• 02:04 WHERE THE CHINESE CHURCH IS DESIRING TO BRING THE GOSPEL BACK ACROSS THE SILK ROAD
• 02:10 PREACHING THROUGH THE 10/40 WINDOW TOUCHING THE MUSLIMS ON THE WAY
• 02:14 AND BRINGING IT BACK INTO JERUSALEM THROUGH THEIR "BACK TO JERUSALEM" MOVEMENT.
• 02:18 BUT ALONG THE WAY THE UNITED STATES HAS BEEN ONE OF THE DEAREST FRIENDS TO ISRAEL.
• 02:23 WILL THAT CONTINUE?
• 02:24 THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO ADDRESS DURING THIS SHOW.
• 02:27 I REALLY BELIEVE THAT WE KNOW THAT NATIONS RISE AND FALL
• 02:31 WITH THEIR TREATMENT OF ISRAEL AND THE JEWISH PEOPLE ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES...
• 02:36 ACCORDING TO GENESIS 12, VERSE 3,
• 02:38 "I WILL BLESS THOSE THAT BLESS YOU."
• 02:40 "I WILL CURSE THOSE THAT CURSE YOU."
• 02:42 FAMILIES ARE CELEBRATING HERE IN JERUSALEM...
• 02:44 THE SOUNDS OF THEM ENJOYING THIS PARK.
• 02:47 YOU KNOW ON THIS BELL THE SCRIPTURE THAT IS WRITTEN IS LEVITICUS 25:10 WHICH SAYS
• 02:52 "PROCLAIM LIBERTY THROUGHOUT THE LAND."
• 02:55 IT'S A REFERENCE TO THE JUBILEE YEAR WHEN THE LAND WAS TO BE CELEBRATED,
• 03:00 WHEN IT'S TO BE RESTED,
• 03:01 WHEN DEBTS WERE TO BE CANCELLED.
• 03:04 AND AS THE GOSPEL HAS COME TO AMERICA
• 03:06 WE'VE PICKED UP SOME OF THE ESSENTIAL JUDEO-CHRISTIAN ASPECTS OF THE SCRIPTURES.
• 03:11 EVEN OUR MONEY SAYS "IN GOD WE TRUST" OR SPEAKS OF LIBERTY.
• 03:15 IN THE EARLY DAYS OF OUR NATION THOMAS JEFFERSON SUGGESTED THAT
• 03:20 OUR SEAL SHOULD BE A PICTURE OF THE HEBREWS COMING OUT OF EGYPT,
• 03:23 THAT THAT WAS AN APPROPRIATE WAY TO EXPRESS THE FOUNDING OF OUR COUNTRY.
• 03:27 WE SEE BIBLICAL NAMES, HEBREW NAMES IN THE FOUNDERS OF THE NATION...
• 03:31 BENJAMIN FRANKLIN...
• 03:33 COTTON MATHER.
• 03:34 COTTON IS NAMED AFTER HIS FAMILY BUT ALSO IT'S A WORD IN HEBREW.
• 03:38 IT MEANS "SMALL" OR "LITTLE".
• 03:40 HE WAS THE LESSER OF THE MATHER FAMILIES.
• 03:42 THE GREAT UNIVERSITIES OF AMERICA ARE TOUCHED...HAVE BEEN FOUNDED BY JUDEO-CHRISTIAN LIFE.
• 03:49 YALE HAS ON ITS SEAL A PICTURE OF THE URIM AND THUMMIM,
• 03:54 THE "LIGHTS" AND "PERFECTIONS" FROM THE PRIESTLY HIGH GARMENTS.
• 03:58 IN FACT, THAT SCRIPTURE FOR THE URIM AND THUMMIM COMES FROM LEVITICUS 8:8
• 04:04 WHICH IS THE VERY CENTER OF THE TORAH.
• 04:06 THAT MEANS THAT YALE WHEN THEY MADE THEIR SEAL
• 04:09 THEY UNDERSTOOD THAT THE BOOK AT THE CENTER OF THEIR SEAL WAS THE BIBLE.
• 04:14 WHEN HARVARD WAS FOUNDED THEY BELIEVED THAT HEBREW SHOULD BE A COMPULSORY COURSE
• 04:19 AND THEY INTENDED ALL THEIR STUDENTS TO SPEAK HEBREW,
• 04:23 TO STUDY HEBREW AND TO BE ABLE TO READ THE SCRIPTURES IN HEBREW.
• 04:26 HAVE WE DRIFTED FROM THAT?
• 04:29 HAS LIFE CHANGED IN AMERICA?
• 04:30 LISTEN TO A WORD FROM THE ORIGINAL CHARTER OF YALE UNIVERSITY.
• 04:45 WOW, WHAT A DIFFERENCE.
• 04:47 THAT WAS EARLY DAYS, THE FOUNDING OF OUR COUNTRY AND WHERE WE ARE TODAY.
• 04:52 ARE WE GOING TO FOLLOW IN THE STEPS OF EUROPE?
• 04:54 ARE WE GOING TO FOLLOW THE WAYS OF THIS WORLD?
• 04:57 OR WILL WE CONTINUE TO BE A JUDEO-CHRISTIAN COUNTRY?
• 05:00 THAT'S WHAT'S BEFORE US TODAY.

• 05:52 LISTEN TO THIS VERSE FROM MICAH 4:3,
• 06:02 WE HEAR THAT OFTEN
• 06:04 WHEN THERE'S SOME KIND OF DESIRE AMONG THE PEOPLE IN AMERICA TO BE PACIFISTIC
• 06:09 BUT WE FORGET THAT THE PROPHET JOEL SAID JUST THE OPPOSITE.
• 06:13 HE SAID WE WILL TURN OUR PLOWSHARES INTO SWORDS
• 06:17 BECAUSE THERE'S A TIME FOR EVERYTHING UNDER HEAVEN...
• 06:19 A TIME FOR WAR...
• 06:20 AND A TIME FOR PEACE.
• 06:22 THE UNITED STATES HAS ALWAYS KNOWN THAT.
• 06:24 THAT'S WHY WE'VE BEEN A FRIEND TO THE LITTLE GUYS AROUND THE WORLD.
• 06:28 NOT ONLY DID WE DEFEND EUROPE WHEN THE NAZIS ROSE INTO POWER,
• 06:33 BUT WE WENT ON TO FIGHT FOR THE KOREANS.
• 06:35 WE WENT TO VIET NAM TO TRY TO STOP THE TAKEOVER BY COMMUNIST CHINA.
• 06:40 AND EVEN TODAY, TWO OF THE SMALLEST NATIONS IN THE WORLD ARE BEING BACKED UP BY AMERICA -
• 06:46 TAIWAN, LIVING UNDER THE THREAT OF THE GIANT OF COMMUNIST CHINA;
• 06:51 AND ISRAEL, SURROUNDED BY 22 MUSLIM NATIONS DESIRING A 23RD MUSLIM NATION.
• 06:59 WE'VE ALWAYS BEEN THERE FOR THOSE NATIONS
• 07:02 AND I THINK THAT REGARDING ISRAEL IT'S SO IMPORTANT THAT THE UNITED STATES NOT FALTER.
• 07:08 WE LEARN SO MUCH FROM THIS PLACE.
• 07:11 WE'VE GOT SO MUCH FROM THE BIBLE.
• 07:13 IT'S HERE WHERE THE ETHICS THAT CAME TO AMERICA ABOUT GODLINESS IN THE LAW,
• 07:18 PURSUING EARTHLY JUSTICE,
• 07:20 GOING AFTER THE RIGHTS OF THE UNDERDOG,
• 07:23 AND ALL OF THE THINGS THAT WE COME TO TAKE FOR GRANTED IN THE UNITED STATES
• 07:28 HAVE COME FROM THE SCRIPTURES AND CAME WITH THE BIBLE.
• 07:32 ARE WE GOING TO GO THE WAY OF EUROPE?
• 07:35 THAT IS THE QUESTION THAT IS BEFORE US TODAY.
• 07:38 TODAY IN EUROPE, AS THEY HAVE ALLOWED THEMSELVES TO DRIFT FROM THEIR JUDEO-CHRISTIAN ROOTS,
• 07:45 THERE'S BEEN THE ONSLAUGHT OF ISLAM AND THE OVERTAKING OF THE EUROPEAN NATIONS BY ISLAM.
• 07:51 AND THE QUESTION BEFORE US IS WILL WE GO THAT WAY?
• 07:54 WILL WE ALLOW SECULAR HUMANISM TO COME IN AND TAKE OVER THE WAY WE SEE THE WORLD,
• 08:00 THE WAY WE THINK ABOUT THE WORLD, AND THEREBY OPEN THE DOOR FOR ISLAM AND SHARIA LAW.
• 08:06 THAT'S THE QUESTION THAT IS BEFORE US NOW.
• 08:10 I'M THINKING ABOUT WHEN THE IRAQ WAR STARTED.
• 08:14 IT WAS SO CONTROVERSIAL.
• 08:16 THE UNITED NATIONS WAS TRYING TO MANEUVER THE UNITED STATES
• 08:20 AND BACK THEN PRESIDENT BUSH SAID,
• 08:22 YOU KNOW, WE DON'T REALLY NEED A PERMISSION SLIP FROM THE UNITED NATIONS
• 08:26 TO DO WHAT WE NEED TO DO.
• 08:28 I BELIEVE WE NEED THAT KIND OF A LEADERSHIP NOW.
• 08:31 WE NEED SOMEONE TO STAND FOR THE FUTURE OF ISRAEL,
• 08:34 FOR THE FUTURE OF THE GOSPEL,
• 08:36 FOR THE FUTURE OF A JUDEO-CHRISTIAN VIEW OF THE WORLD.
• 08:39 THAT'S WHAT HAS TO HAPPEN.
• 08:41 IT WILL NOT COME FROM THE UNITED NATIONS.
• 08:43 IT HAS TO COME FROM A BELIEF IN AMERICAN EXCEPTIONALISM.
• 08:47 THAT WAS BORN IN THE BASIS OF OUR COUNTRY WHICH WAS FROM THE WORD OF GOD.
• 08:53 SO TODAY I WANT YOU TO REMEMBER THAT WE HAVE ROOTS SOMEWHERE.
• 08:58 WE WERE NOT JUST BORN OUT OF NOWHERE.
• 09:00 WE HAVE ROOTS IN THIS BOOK.
• 09:03 WE HAVE ROOTS IN THE OLD TESTAMENT AND THE NEW TESTAMENT.
• 09:06 MY FRIEND, PETER TSUKAHIRA, A PASTOR UP IN CARMEL, SAID
• 09:09 STUDYING THE NEW TESTAMENT WITHOUT STUDYING THE OLD TESTAMENT
• 09:12 IS LIKE COMING INTO A MOVIE IN THE MIDDLE.
• 09:15 YOU KNOW HOW IT ENDS, BUT YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHY.
• 09:18 WE NEED TO KNOW HOW IT ENDS,
• 09:20 BUT WE NEED TO KNOW WHY IT ENDS THAT WAY.
• 09:23 THE ONLY WAY TO DO THAT IS TO STAND WITH ISRAEL,
• 09:26 TO STAND WITH THE JEWISH PEOPLE,
• 09:28 AND TO SEE THE WORLD THROUGH BIBLICAL EYES.
• 09:49 IT HAS BEEN A GOOD SEASON.
• 09:51 PLENTIFUL RAIN.
• 09:53 AND NOW THE DAYS ARE FILLED WITH THE WARMTH OF THE SUN.
• 09:56 SOON WE WILL SEE A BOUNTIFUL HARVEST.
• 10:01 I'M JOSHUA,
• 10:02 AND THIS IS MY LAND.
• 10:05 IT IS RICH AND FERTILE,
• 10:06 BLESSED BY HASHEM.
• 10:09 MANY YEARS AGO, ABRAHAM JOURNEYED ACROSS THE ROADS THAT ENCOMPASSED THESE VERY FIELDS.
• 10:15 AND GOD PROMISED HIM THAT ONE DAY HIS SEED WOULD INHERIT THIS VERY LAND.
• 10:23 COME; SEE FOR YOURSELF THIS MIRACLE OF LIFE.
• 10:27 WALK THE LAND OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC, AND JACOB.
• 10:31 WITNESS WITH ME THIS MAGNIFICENT LAND OF PROMISE.
• 10:43 FOR YOUR FREE BROCHURE ON OUR NEXT TOUR TO ISRAEL,
• 10:46 CALL 1-800-WONDERS
• 10:51 THAT'S ISRAEL
• 10:52 AND THERE'S NOTHING LIKE IT.
• 10:54 I'M HERE TODAY WITH TRACIE,
• 10:56 OUR TRAVEL MANAGER
• 10:57 AND WE'RE GOING TO SHARE
• 10:58 JUST A LITTLE BIT ABOUT
• 11:00 HOW OUR TOURS WORK.
• 11:01 I MEAN THEY'RE JUST SO...
• 11:02 YOU MAKE THEM SO SMOOTH, TRACIE.
• 11:03 WELL I APPRECIATE THAT, KATHARINE.
• 11:05 IT'S SO GOOD TO BE WITH YOU AGAIN.
• 11:06 IT'S REALLY WONDERFUL TO BE HERE
• 11:08 TO TELL THE PEOPLE...
• 11:09 I WAS JUST TELLING YOU EARLIER -
• 11:11 WHAT I WANT TO COMMUNICATE TODAY
• 11:12 IS JUST THE INTIMACY THAT
• 11:15 PEOPLE ARE GOING TO EXPERIENCE
• 11:17 BY GOING WITH US.
• 11:18 YOU'VE BEEN WATCHING THE SHOW
• 11:19 FOR YEARS AND I KNOW THAT YOU
• 11:21 WANT TO GO TO ISRAEL
• 11:22 TO SEE THE SITES FIRST HAND,
• 11:23 BUT I JUST DON'T THINK PEOPLE UNDERSTAND
• 11:25 THAT PERSONAL INTIMACY
• 11:27 THAT IS GOING TO DEVELOP.
• 11:28 IT WOULD BE A JOY TO HAVE YOU.
• 11:29 MYLES AND KATHARINE
• 11:30 ARE ON EACH TRIP
• 11:32 AND IT'S JUST SUCH A DELIGHT
• 11:33 TO HAVE YOU BOTH THERE.
• 11:34 IT'S A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE.
• 11:35 IT'S A TIME WHEN YOUR LIFE IS TRANSFORMED.
• 11:38 THANK YOU, TRACIE.
• 11:39 YOU HAVE SUCH A HEART FOR ISRAEL.
• 11:41 I RECENTLY SPOKE TO RITA TSUKAHIRA
• 11:45 ON TOP OF MOUNT CARMEL
• 11:46 AND ABOUT HER HEART FOR ISRAEL.
• 11:48 GOD HAS RAISED UP A MINISTRY OF REFUGE.
• 11:51 TAKE A LOOK.
• 11:55 RITA, GOD HAS BIRTHED SOMETHING VERY DEAR TO YOUR HEART TO SEE WOMEN FIND SHELTER.
• 11:59 TELL ME A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE SHELTER THAT IS HERE ON MOUNT CARMEL.
• 12:03 IN 2003 WE OPENED OUR DOORS
• 12:07 TO WOMEN WHO WERE HURTING,
• 12:10 WOMEN WHO WERE VICTIMS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE,
• 12:13 WOMEN WHO FOR SOME REASON NEEDED A PLACE OF SHELTER FINANCIALLY, EMOTIONALLY.
• 12:19 WE REALLY DIDN'T AT THAT POINT KNOW EXACTLY WHERE IT WAS GOING TO GO,
• 12:25 BUT WE ARE A MINISTRY THAT IN THE VERY BEGINNING BACK IN 1990 WAS BIRTHED IN ISAIAH 58.
• 12:33 IN THE NEED TO REACH OUT TO THOSE WHO ARE ON THE STREETS, WHO NEED A HAND, WHO NEED FOOD.
• 12:40 GOD'S CHOSEN FAST IS ISAIAH 58
• 12:43 AND OUT OF THAT, BACK IN THE VERY BEGINNINGS OF OUR MINISTRY
• 12:47 WAS BIRTHED A DRUG AND ALCOHOL REHAB FOR MEN.
• 12:50 SO ALL THESE YEARS LATER
• 12:52 WHEN WE WERE ABLE TO PURCHASE THESE TWO OLD BUILDINGS HERE ON MOUNT CARMEL,
• 12:57 I REALLY FELT A BURNING DESIRE IN MY HEART TO DO SOMETHING FOR WOMEN.
• 13:02 WONDERFUL
• 13:03 AND THAT'S WHY WE SAID, WHOSOEVER COME.
• 13:05 WE DIDN'T ADVERTISE.
• 13:07 WORD OF MOUTH.
• 13:08 THE FIRST WOMAN WE RECEIVED WAS, TO MY SURPRISE A FOREIGN WORKER.
• 13:13 SHE WAS A COLUMBIAN WOMAN WHO HAD ACTUALLY BEEN ATTACKED
• 13:18 AND ALMOST MURDERED BY HER BOYFRIEND.
• 13:21 SHE WAS SENT HERE BY THE POLICE UNDER PROTECTION.
• 13:25 IT WAS A WHOLE NEW WORLD FOR US.
• 13:27 BUT WE SOON REALIZED THAT SHE WASN'T JUST SENT HERE FOR PROTECTION.
• 13:31 SHE WAS SENT HERE TO HAVE AN ENCOUNTER WITH THE LORD,
• 13:34 TO COME BACK TO A FAITH THAT MAYBE WAS REALLY NEVER ALIVE TO HER.
• 13:38 THAT BEGAN A WHOLE PROCESS OF WOMEN COMING -
• 13:42 ARAB WOMEN, JEWISH WOMEN.
• 13:44 SOME WERE DRUG ADDICTS.
• 13:46 BUT THAT WAS NOT OUR PRIMARY CALL.
• 13:49 IT WAS TO HURTING, TO DESPERATE, TO WOMEN NEEDING SHELTER.
• 13:53 THEN TO MY SURPRISE, BECAUSE GOD IS ALWAYS FULL OF SURPRISES,
• 13:58 IN MAY...
• 14:00 ACTUALLY IT WAS A LITTLE EARLIER...
• 14:02 IN MARCH 2006 I GOT A PHONE CALL FROM THE IMMIGRATION POLICE.
• 14:06 THEY HAD HEARD ABOUT US FROM AN NGO, A NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATION IN TEL AVIV,
• 14:13 THAT WE MIGHT BE OPEN TO TAKING IN A SUDANESE REFUGEE.
• 14:19 I JUST FELT IN MY HEART THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT GOD WAS GOING TO OPEN UP FOR US.
• 14:26 I'D HEARD ABOUT THE WAR IN SUDAN.
• 14:29 THERE WAS A 20 YEAR WAR THERE.
• 14:30 A CIVIL WAR WHERE LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS WERE KILLED,
• 14:35 MILLIONS WENT INTO ASYLUM SEEKING REFUGE.
• 14:41 ALSO IN DARFUR, AS WE'RE WELL AWARE.
• 14:45 IT'S SO WONDERFUL TO SEE THESE LITTLE CHILDREN RUN AROUND.
• 14:49 I SEE YOU LIKE A MOTHER HEN.
• 14:50 GOD HAS PUT A HAND OVER YOU.
• 14:53 TO SEE THEIR HEARTS OPEN UP.
• 14:57 YOU ALSO HAVE A WORK THAT THEY ARE ABLE TO PRODUCE.
• 15:01 TELL ME A LITTLE BIT' ABOUT THAT CALL.
• 15:03 FIRST OF ALL LET ME JUST SAY ABOUT CHILDREN -
• 15:05 WE NEVER EXPECTED.
• 15:06 WE HAVE OVER 40 CHILDREN THAT WERE BORN HERE.
• 15:08 THEY'RE NOT ALL HERE NOW.
• 15:10 THE WHOLE AREA OF OPENING OUR HEARTS,
• 15:14 IT'S VERY CLEAR IN LEVITICUS 19:33
• 15:17 THAT WE ARE TO OPEN OUR HEARTS TO STRANGERS.
• 15:20 BECAUSE WE AS JEWS,
• 15:21 AND I'M A JEW FROM NEW YORK,
• 15:23 WERE PEOPLE WHO NEEDED A PLACE.
• 15:26 I FEEL ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE DOING IS CALLED AFRICA'S HEART.
• 15:31 WE'RE GIVING THE WOMEN A PROJECT WHERE THEY CAN ACTUALLY MAKE THESE BAGS.
• 15:36 IT'S ALMOST LIKE A THERAPY,
• 15:38 BUT IT'S ALSO GIVING THEM A SENSE OF CONFIDENCE.
• 15:41 WE SELL THEM TO PEOPLE WHO COME HERE.
• 15:44 WE'RE VERY HAPPY TO PRESENT IT
• 15:45 AND IT GIVES THE WOMEN JUST A SENSE OF SELF-RESPECT.
• 15:49 RITA, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING WHAT GOD IS DOING HERE
• 15:52 AND WHAT YOU'VE OPENED YOUR HEART TO SEE HIS HEART AND SO MANY PEOPLE COME TO FAITH.
• 15:56 THANK YOU SO MUCH.
• 15:58 THANK YOU.
• 16:01 THAT'S RITA UP IN HAIFA
• 16:03 AND IT'S SO WONDERFUL TO SEE THE WORD TRANSFORMING LIVES NOT ONLY SPIRITUALLY, BUT PHYSICALLY.
• 16:09 I MEAN PURE RELIGION AND UNDEFILED IS TO VISIT THE WIDOWS AND THE ORPHANS.
• 16:13 WE'VE SEEN SOME OF THAT WORK
• 16:15 AND WE'RE GOING TO GO BACK AND SEE MORE.
• 16:17 IT'S SO IMPORTANT THAT PEOPLE HEAR ABOUT OUR NEWSLETTER, MYLES,
• 16:20 AND WHAT GOD IS DOING IN COMMUNICATING DIRECTLY TO US.
• 16:25 WELL WE ARE GRATEFUL
• 16:26 TO BE ABLE TO SEND YOU
• 16:28 OUR MONTHLY NEWSLETTER.
• 16:29 IT'S FREE TO YOU,
• 16:30 THE LEVITT LETTER.
• 16:31 IT REALLY IS FULL
• 16:32 OF UP-TO-DATE NEWS
• 16:32 AS WELL AS SPIRITUAL INPUT
• 16:34 FOR THE DAYS AHEAD AND THE DAY
• 16:35 IN WHICH WE'RE LIVING.
• 16:36 ALSO THIS WEEK, OUR OFFER IS
• 16:38 "HOW CAN A GENTILE BE SAVED?"
• 16:40 ZOLA PUT THIS TOGETHER
• 16:41 BEFORE HIS GRADUATION TO HEAVEN.
• 16:43 IT'S REALLY VALUABLE
• 16:45 BECAUSE REALLY WE'RE
• 16:46 TURNING THE GOSPEL BACK
• 16:48 TO ITS ORIGINAL VIEW.
• 16:49 IT WASN'T THAT "HOW CAN A JEW
• 16:51 GET INTO THE KINGDOM",
• 16:52 BUT REALLY,
• 16:53 "HOW CAN THE GENTILES
• 16:54 GET INTO THE KINGDOM."
• 16:55 IT WAS THROUGH THE JEWS,
• 16:57 JUST AS MOST JEWISH PEOPLE TODAY COME INTO THE KINGDOM THROUGH THE MINISTRY OF A GENTILE,
• 17:00 SO IT IS THAT IN THE EARLY CHURCH MOST OF THE GENTILES CAME IN THROUGH JEWISH MINISTRY.
• 17:05 SO WE'RE GLAD TO BE ABLE TO SHARE THAT WITH YOU.
• 17:08 ISAIAH 58:10 SAYS,
• 17:10 "HO, EVERYONE THAT THIRSTS COME AND BUY WITHOUT MONEY AND DRINK WITHOUT WATER."
• 17:15 IT IS REALLY AMAZING TO SEE THE GOSPEL GOING FORWARD
• 17:19 IN THE LIVES OF PEOPLE THROUGH THE MINISTRY ON MOUNT CARMEL.
• 17:22 AND IT'S A SUPERNATURAL WORK
• 17:24 AND GOD IS DOING IT TODAY IN THE LAND.
• 17:26 ACTS, THEN AND NOW -
• 17:28 IT'S CONTINUING.
• 17:29 LET'S GO TAKE A LOOK.
• 17:41 SHALOM,
• 17:42 WE WANT TO WELCOME YOU HERE IN HAIFA,
• 17:44 WHICH IS LOCATED IN MOUNT CARMEL IN ISRAEL.
• 17:47 ONE OF THE GREATEST MIRACLES
• 17:48 THAT TOOK PLACE
• 17:50 IN THE HISTORY OF HUMANITY
• 17:51 WAS THAT YESHUA, THE GOD,
• 17:53 HE TOOK FLESH
• 17:55 AND THE WORD BECAME FLESH AS IT IS DESCRIBED BY THE APOSTLE JOHN.
• 17:59 I WANT TO TELL YOU THAT THIS VERSE,
• 18:02 THAT THE WORD IS TAKEN FLESH, IS STILL ALIVE IN OUR DAYS.
• 18:06 TWENTY PLUS YEARS AGO, DAVID AND KAREN DAVIS, THEY RECEIVED THE WORD FROM GOD.
• 18:10 AND THE WORD WAS THAT WE SHOULD GIVE FOOD TO THE HUNGRY.
• 18:14 WE SHOULD CLOTHE THE NAKED.
• 18:17 AND THIS IS WHAT THE PROPHET ISAIAH SPEAKS IN CHAPTER 58 OF HIS BOOK.
• 18:22 WE WANT TO SHOW YOU HOW THIS WORD IS BECOMING FLESH IN OUR DAYS.
• 18:27 RIGHT BEHIND ME IS ONE OF OUR HUMANITARIAN MINISTRIES WHICH IS CALLED, ELIJAH'S CLOAK.
• 18:34 HERE, PEOPLE COME AND RECEIVE CLOTHING FOR FREE WITHOUT ANY CHARGE.
• 18:40 ON TOP OF THAT THEY ARE WARMLY WELCOMED.
• 18:43 THEY EXPERIENCE THE LOVE OF GOD.
• 18:45 THEY CAN RECEIVE AND EXPERIENCE IN THEIR PERSONAL LIFE
• 18:49 THE TOUCH OF THE HAND OF GOD THROUGH THE MINISTERS AND THE PEOPLE WHO ARE SERVING THERE.
• 18:53 AS YOU CAN SEE WE HAVE HERE A ROOM FULL OF CLOTHING
• 18:58 THAT IS DONATED BY DIFFERENT PEOPLE OR ORGANIZATIONS.
• 19:01 ALL THIS CLOTHING, THE PURPOSE OF IT IS TO BE GIVEN TO THE NEEDY,
• 19:05 PEOPLE WHO ARE SUFFERING FROM FINANCIAL HARDSHIP,
• 19:08 OR ARE GOING THROUGH A PROCESS OF IMMIGRATION OR REPATRIATION
• 19:12 AND ARE GETTING SETTLED HERE IN THIS LAND.
• 19:15 AND AS THEY COME TO THIS PLACE THEY RECEIVE NOT ONLY CLOTHING
• 19:18 BUT ALSO THE LOVE OF GOD THAT IS BEING SHARED ABROAD
• 19:22 THROUGH THE HEARTS OF THE BELIEVERS AND SHARED WITH THOSE WHO ARE COMING HERE.
• 19:40 WHEN WE TALK ABOUT HELPING NEEDY PEOPLE HERE IN ISRAEL,
• 19:43 WE'RE TALKING ABOUT SOMETHING THAT WAS ALWAYS IN THE HEART OF GOD.
• 19:47 YESHUA, WHILE HERE IN THIS LAND, WALKING FROM CITY TO CITY,
• 19:51 HE WAS ALWAYS ABOUT HELPING PEOPLE - HEALING THEM, FULFILLING THEIR NEEDS.
• 19:56 THAT'S WHAT WE WANT TO SEE HAPPENING IN THE MIDST OF US.
• 19:59 WE WANT TO SHARE THE LOVE OF GOD WITH PEOPLE.
• 20:02 SEE HOW THEIR HEARTS AND THEIR LIVES ARE BEING ESTABLISHED,
• 20:05 AND WE WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT THESE PEOPLE WHO ARE DESCRIBED AS "DRY BONES";
• 20:11 THEY ARE BECOMING A MIGHTY ARMY OF GOD.
• 20:14 RAVEN BASKET IS A FOOD DISTRIBUTION MINISTRY OF OUR COMMUNITY.
• 20:18 THROUGH THIS MINISTRY MORE THAN 160 FAMILIES RECEIVE FOOD ON A WEEKLY BASIS.
• 20:24 MOST OF THESE FAMILIES ARE IMMIGRANTS FROM THE FORMER SOVIET UNION.
• 20:28 I REMEMBER MY FIRST PERSONAL EXPERIENCE WITH THIS MINISTRY
• 20:31 WHEN WE HAD JUST MADE ALIYAH TO THE LAND OF ISRAEL.
• 20:34 WE CAME INTO THE COMMUNITY, CAME INTO THE CONGREGATION -
• 20:37 WE RECEIVED THE PACKAGE OF FOOD.
• 20:39 EVEN THOUGH IT WAS A SMALL, SMALL SACK OF FOOD, WE WERE DEEPLY TOUCHED IN OUR HEARTS.
• 20:45 THROUGH THAT I CAN DEEPLY IDENTIFY ON A VERY PERSONAL LEVEL
• 20:49 WITH THE PEOPLE WHO ARE RECEIVING THIS FOOD EVEN NOW.
• 20:52 BECAUSE EVEN AS THE SAME AS WE DEAL WITH ELIJAH'S CLOAK IN GIVING CLOTHING,
• 20:57 HERE WE ALSO WANT TO SHARE WITH THE PEOPLE NOT ONLY FOOD
• 21:00 AND NOT ONLY TO PROVIDE THEIR PHYSICAL NEEDS,
• 21:03 WE WANT TO SHARE WITH THEM THE LOVE OF GOD.
• 21:06 WE WANT TO SHARE WITH THEM GOD'S HEART,
• 21:09 WHICH IS ALWAYS TO HELP AND TO SUPPORT AND TO MINISTER TO THE PEOPLE.
