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

• 00:12 GO YE THEREFORE AND TEACH ALL NATIONS
• 00:15 BAPTIZING THEM IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER AND OF THE SON AND OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
• 00:20 TEACHING THEM TO OBSERVE ALL THINGS WHATSOEVER I HAVE COMMANDED YOU
• 00:25 AND LO I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS EVEN UNTO THE END OF THE WORLD.
• 00:41 SHALOM AND WELCOME
• 00:43 TO ZOLA LEVITT PRESENTS
• 00:44 I'M MYLES WEISS
• 00:45 THIS IS MY WIFE
• 00:46 AND MY COHOST KATHARINE
• 00:48 AND TODAY WE'RE CONTINUING
• 00:49 IN OUR SERIES "ACTS THEN AND NOW...THE STORY CONTINUES"
• 00:52 AND WE'RE SEEING HOW THE BOOK OF ACTS
• 00:56 WAS THE BEGINNING OF A WHOLE NEW PHASE OF THE CHURCH LIFE
• 00:59 AND HOW THE GOSPEL WENT AROUND THE WORLD.
• 01:01 IT REALLY AFFECTED AMERICA DIDN'T IT?
• 01:03 IT AFFECTS WHERE EVER IT GOES.
• 01:04 IT BRINGS LIGHT AND LIFE AND LIBERTY.
• 01:07 AND ON THE BELL THAT MYLES IS GOING TO BE TALKING IN FRONT IN JERUSALEM
• 01:11 IS THE SCRIPTURE LEVITICUS 25:10.
• 01:14 IT TALKS ABOUT GOD'S LIBERTY.
• 01:16 AND THE WORD "LIBERTY" ITSELF IN HEBREW MEANS "JOY", "ALARM" AND "AWAKENING".
• 01:21 SO WHEN WE STAY IN HIS WORD AND WE STAY WITH HIM WE CAN WALK IN LIBERTY.
• 01:25 LET'S GO NOW AND HEAR MORE FROM MYLES IN JERUSALEM.
• 01:35 I'M HERE IN LIBERTY BELL PARK...
• 01:36 NOT IN PHILADELPHIA
• 01:38 BUT IN JERUSALEM.
• 01:39 BEHIND ME YOU SEE A LIBERTY BELL
• 01:41 THAT IS A COPY OF THE ONE IN THE UNITED STATES
• 01:43 AND WAS GIVEN AS A GIFT TO JERUSALEM IN 1976
• 01:47 WHEN THE 200TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WAS CELEBRATED.
• 01:53 THE GOSPEL LEFT HERE AND WENT AROUND THE WORLD TO THE WEST.
• 01:58 IT ROSE IN EUROPE...
• 01:59 IT ROSE IN THE UNITED STATES
• 02:01 AND NOW IT'S RISING IN THE EAST IN CHINA
• 02:03 WHERE THE CHINESE CHURCH IS DESIRING TO BRING THE GOSPEL BACK ACROSS THE SILK ROAD
• 02:09 PREACHING THROUGH THE 10/40 WINDOW TOUCHING THE MUSLIMS ON THE WAY
• 02:13 AND BRINGING IT BACK INTO JERUSALEM THROUGH THEIR "BACK TO JERUSALEM" MOVEMENT.
• 02:17 BUT ALONG THE WAY THE UNITED STATES HAS BEEN ONE OF THE DEAREST FRIENDS TO ISRAEL.
• 02:22 WILL THAT CONTINUE?
• 02:23 THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO ADDRESS DURING THIS SHOW.
• 02:26 I REALLY BELIEVE THAT WE KNOW THAT NATIONS RISE AND FALL
• 02:30 WITH THEIR TREATMENT OF ISRAEL AND THE JEWISH PEOPLE ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES...
• 02:35 ACCORDING TO GENESIS 12, VERSE 3,
• 02:37 "I WILL BLESS THOSE THAT BLESS YOU."
• 02:39 "I WILL CURSE THOSE THAT CURSE YOU."
• 02:41 FAMILIES ARE CELEBRATING HERE IN JERUSALEM...
• 02:43 THE SOUNDS OF THEM ENJOYING THIS PARK.
• 02:46 YOU KNOW ON THIS BELL THE SCRIPTURE THAT IS WRITTEN IS LEVITICUS 25:10 WHICH SAYS
• 02:51 "PROCLAIM LIBERTY THROUGHOUT THE LAND."
• 02:54 IT'S A REFERENCE TO THE JUBILEE YEAR WHEN THE LAND WAS TO BE CELEBRATED,
• 02:59 WHEN IT'S TO BE RESTED,
• 03:00 WHEN DEBTS WERE TO BE CANCELLED.
• 03:03 AND AS THE GOSPEL HAS COME TO AMERICA
• 03:05 WE'VE PICKED UP SOME OF THE ESSENTIAL JUDEO-CHRISTIAN ASPECTS OF THE SCRIPTURES.
• 03:10 EVEN OUR MONEY SAYS "IN GOD WE TRUST" OR SPEAKS OF LIBERTY.
• 03:14 IN THE EARLY DAYS OF OUR NATION THOMAS JEFFERSON SUGGESTED THAT
• 03:19 OUR SEAL SHOULD BE A PICTURE OF THE HEBREWS COMING OUT OF EGYPT,
• 03:22 THAT THAT WAS AN APPROPRIATE WAY TO EXPRESS THE FOUNDING OF OUR COUNTRY.
• 03:26 WE SEE BIBLICAL NAMES, HEBREW NAMES IN THE FOUNDERS OF THE NATION...
• 03:30 BENJAMIN FRANKLIN...
• 03:32 COTTON MATHER.
• 03:33 COTTON IS NAMED AFTER HIS FAMILY BUT ALSO IT'S A WORD IN HEBREW.
• 03:37 IT MEANS "SMALL" OR "LITTLE".
• 03:39 HE WAS THE LESSER OF THE MATHER FAMILIES.
• 03:41 THE GREAT UNIVERSITIES OF AMERICA ARE TOUCHED...HAVE BEEN FOUNDED BY JUDEO-CHRISTIAN LIFE.
• 03:48 YALE HAS ON ITS SEAL A PICTURE OF THE URIM AND THUMMIM,
• 03:53 THE "LIGHTS" AND "PERFECTIONS" FROM THE PRIESTLY HIGH GARMENTS.
• 03:57 IN FACT, THAT SCRIPTURE FOR THE URIM AND THUMMIM COMES FROM LEVITICUS 8:8
• 04:03 WHICH IS THE VERY CENTER OF THE TORAH.
• 04:05 THAT MEANS THAT YALE WHEN THEY MADE THEIR SEAL
• 04:08 THEY UNDERSTOOD THAT THE BOOK AT THE CENTER OF THEIR SEAL WAS THE BIBLE.
• 04:13 WHEN HARVARD WAS FOUNDED THEY BELIEVED THAT HEBREW SHOULD BE A COMPULSORY COURSE
• 04:18 AND THEY INTENDED ALL THEIR STUDENTS TO SPEAK HEBREW,
• 04:22 TO STUDY HEBREW AND TO BE ABLE TO READ THE SCRIPTURES IN HEBREW.
• 04:25 HAVE WE DRIFTED FROM THAT?
• 04:28 HAS LIFE CHANGED IN AMERICA?
• 04:29 LISTEN TO A WORD FROM THE ORIGINAL CHARTER OF YALE UNIVERSITY.
• 04:44 WOW, WHAT A DIFFERENCE.
• 04:46 THAT WAS EARLY DAYS, THE FOUNDING OF OUR COUNTRY AND WHERE WE ARE TODAY.
• 04:51 ARE WE GOING TO FOLLOW IN THE STEPS OF EUROPE?
• 04:53 ARE WE GOING TO FOLLOW THE WAYS OF THIS WORLD?
• 04:56 OR WILL WE CONTINUE TO BE A JUDEO-CHRISTIAN COUNTRY?
• 04:59 THAT'S WHAT'S BEFORE US TODAY.

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