“Introducing Sandra” episode
This is the latest “personal message” from Zola. It was filmed shortly after the previous one and his voice was still bad. He should sound much better in future episodes. He continues to make new episodes every few days.
It was good to see Sandra make an episode with Zola. She won’t even let me take a picture of her, but she did great in this episode. She just returned from the latest Israel tour and everything went fine.
Zola is still feeling pretty well but his energy isn’t what it used to be. He tires more easily now. Food often tastes metalic, either from the radiation/chemo treatments or other medication he’s taking. He’s still hitting some golf balls now and then.

ZOLAS TV SHOW IS WHAT AWAKENED MY LOVE FOR THE JEWISH FAITH. IF IT IS GODS WILL FOR HIM TO FURTHER EDUCATE THEN WE WILL ALL BE BLESSED. IF NOT THEN HE WILL SEE JESUS AND LIVE FOR EVER IN HIS LOVE. MY PRAYERS WILL BE THAT HE WILL BE GIVEN THE STRENGTH FROM OUR LORD TO GO THROUGH HIS BATTLE OF SICKNESS.

God Bless you Zola! I wish everyone believed in the healing power of Yeshua. Read Isaiah 53: 4,5
We all were healed 2000 years when He bore our sins and iniquities and sicknesses. How much simpler would it be to believe what the Bible says about healing and believe that Zola has been healed, 2000, because that is what the Bible says.
The only modern medical miracle is the one we have faith to believe on, Yeshua. Jehovah Roffa-the L-rd our Healer.
Forgive, but I am angry at the devil for bringing this upon you Zola, and I become irate when I see how uneducated the church has become regarding healing, the speaking in tongues, and the gifts. All in the Bible, not just for then, but for yesterday, today, tomorrow, forever.
G-d identified Himself to the Hebrew children as “I am Jehovah Raffa, the God who healeth thee.”
I know you will receive your healing Zola, but it is you that must receive it, none of can do it for you – even with all our prayers. I pray the L-rd will bring the right person, at the right moment, to bring His Holy Annointed Word to you about your Bible promise of having been healed and made whole. It was finished on the cross by Yeshua.
G-d bless you and Sandra!

Zola,Just as God called his Son home after his work was done, so shall all of his believers be also. I do envy you because you will see him face to face and I rejoice for you. What earthly words can express my gratitude, for your saving my soul, and leading me to the Savior of all mankind? In his Glory..
Shalom, Brother Zola.
Our Deepest Love always.

In faith, I sprinkle the Blood of the lamb that was slain before the foundations of the world… upon you Zola. The Blood… covers you from the crown of your head to the soles of your feet. The Blood! Satan, the blood is against thee!
I receive it in faith in the Name that is above every Name!
May the very fabric of your being made one with Him, and may you REJOICE in this situation!!!!!!!

Dear Zola & Sandra–God bless you both at this difficult time. Our church in Eureka CA is praying for you – strength and blessings from our great God who strengthens you. Thank you for your “grass roots” ministry – getting out and meeting people at our home areas. We so enjoyed the blessings you gave us at our church a couple of years ago. You are God’s strong ministers, teaching us to be the same. In His name – be in PEACE.
March 29th, 2006 at 4:01 am
My prayers and thoughts are with you Zola, Sandra, Mark and those at the ministry closest to you! I praise our great God and Saviour for your salvation, raising you up to minister to the peoples… standing close to your Jewish brethren and by that awakening the love that God Himself has put in my heart for the Jewish people… I was blessed to serve on the streets of Montreal last fall with Jews for Jesus – what an awesome and life changing two weeks that our glorious Yeshua brought to pass. New life was given to some, and many heard the truth of Messiah!
All of our times are in His powerful and comforting hands – may our Adonai Yeshua be your comfort, your strength and your joy – healing if His will – joy unspeakable to your spirit with thoughts of being with Him and awaiting our arrivals.
Praise to the One who has blessed us by your life, your life with Sandra and Mark – may He lead you with discernment, guidance and wisdom as each day we all move closer to glory in His presence.
Thank you for standing strong by His Spirit – encouragement so needed as He moves you to redeem the time, in these evil days, as we lovingly await our King,

iSAIAH 51:9-11 Wake up, L-rd and help Zola,
Use your power and heal him,
For you are the one who dried up the red sea and made a path throught the water,
Is there anything to hard for you?
Therefore bring health and healing
Restoration and peace to Sandra and Zola’s lives that they will be happy and sing with joy and gladness set free from sorrow and grief.

Zola and Sandra,
I was praying about your situation and how sad and angry
I am for this to happen at a time when this world NEEDS you MOST!
Then it dawned on me; perhaps your work is nearing completion
because that trumpet call is but a heartbeat away! Perhaps ALL
the lives of believers here on earth are nearing completion,
thus your work has already served it’s purpose.
I’m sure that our wonderous Savour wants only the BEST for you
Zola; I keep praying, “Please, PLEASE don’t take our Zola from us, but as always Lord, Your will, not ours be done.”
It’s times like this that we surely realize that our lives are not
our own, but belong to He that bought them for the price of His
blood. Seriously,Our lives are not ours to give however because
if my life were my own, I’d give it to you.
Your impact on this world is so tremendous, it would be an honor.
March 29th, 2006 at 4:10 pm
My Dear Zola, Sandra and Family,
I am so blessed as I read all the posts to you Zola and your family……What a blessing you are to all of us, how near we feel to you.
What a joy it must be for you to read and feel the love that is sent to you.
The one above said she would give her life for you if she could….What greater love can one have than to lay down his life for his brother.
Zola, you have meant so very much to all of us…..We can hardly wait to see the crown you will be wearing…..What a joy it will be to be with you through out eternity…..To work for the Lord with you….The scripture tells us that we will rule and reign with Him…..Just imagine that….Rule and reign with Him….What an awesome God we serve.
I am so glad Sandra has returned from her trip and I know the Lord blessed all of them…Can hardly wait until 5:30 this evening when I can tape your program where you are introducing your precious Sandra….I watched it in the wee hours of the morning Sunday night but will tape it tonight.
Get plenty of rest and know we are all praying….We love you!
March 29th, 2006 at 6:20 pm
Dear Zola and Sandra,
We pray for you both daily. We want you to know how much you have meant to us throughout the years and we love you so much. We have learned much from you. Thank you for everything, and we will all be together in the kingdom! We are holding you up in prayer. Shalom!!
March 29th, 2006 at 7:32 pm
Zola and Sandra, it was such a pleasure to meet you Sandra. Zola seems so happy having a wife at his side as he fights this illness. He was alone much too long, just waiting for the beautiful lady God had prepared just for him.
Zola, I still believe with all my heart that you will be healed. Others are praying for your healing and our Lord hears…You also keep believing!
Your programs mean so much to me…your studies, guests, and the wonderful scenes of our Land! No other program compares with it!
May God bless and keep both of you! The Lord willing, I will again be able to take your wonderful tour with you and Sandra leading it.
Love in Y’shua,
Connie Harris

Dear Zola, It is so important, for you to understand, that it is Satan that want’s to kill you. It is not God taking you home early. You have a great job tobe done. It’s the only one of it’s kind that shows the love of Jesus Christ, in whosoever accepts him, and the true story of the east. Satan hates this. It is Satan that come to steal, kill and destroy, not Jesus. He came to give you a long life. He says so in His Word. He tells us to resist Satan, in His Name, and he will flee from us. Ps. 103 tells us that Jesus died for our inequities and healeth all our diseases. (Accept this now.) SAY IT DAILY, OUT LOUD, PLANT THOSE SEEDS IN YOU HEART, FAITH WILL COME AND SO WILL HEALING. DON’T STOP UNTIL IT DOES. HAVE YOUR FAMILY TO DO THE SAME.
When God is ready to take you home, He will be the one to decide, not Satan, and when he does deside, you will be at a nice ripe old age, and He will not take you home sick. Others looked to Jesus for thir healing of Cancer and were healed. Get your family to get the book…Healed of Cancer…by Bodie Osteen She was sent home to die, but she is alive and well. Joel Osteen P.O. Box 4600 Houston, TX 77210 I believe you can find the book there. Your family needs to read and believe God’s WORD about healing also. Now we, your sister’s and brother’s in Christ Jesus will agree with you in prayer for total recovery. WE Love you all in Christ Jesus. GALE…..
March 29th, 2006 at 7:55 pm
My Dear Zola, Sandra, & Family,
We look so forward to your news letter and watching your wonderful, enlightning Television Ministry.
Our prayers are with you both. We pray Zola that Yeshua
will keep you in his care and your will not suffer.
May God bless you both

My dear brother in Christ — Zola:
I have prayed for your ministry and marriage every day since October 2001. Since hearing the news, I have been praying for your complete healing. I ask Jesus daily to “destroy the works of the devil” “that His will be done on earth as it is in heaven” (there is no illness in heaven)”by His wounds we have been healed” “come boldly before the thrown” I expect Jesus to answer these prayers.I ask that everyone pray and ask Jesus to heal Zola with the expectation that Jesus will! Tell Jesus that this is the desire of our hearts’. “The prayers of a righteous man are powerful and effective” We love you Zola and we pray unceasingly!
March 29th, 2006 at 11:23 pm
I have finished the last stain glass window. I made this one especially for you Zola, it simply says, “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem” in hebrew and english. I have to finish a few final items to it and I will send it to you like the others.
I will miss your light Zola, Though we have not met here on earth, perhaps we will meet in a place prepared for us, a place for the children of the light, in the presence of the groom. I will pray for the peace of Jerusalem, but I will also pray for my brother Zola, and your journey will be the greatest adventure of all, not the end, but the beginning.belief, trust, faith, in the presence of… in my fathers house are many mansions… I AM the way, the truth and the life. Shalom hashem Shaul

I only learned of your challenge today from The Elijah Prayer Army site,& though to share a bit about my father, Bob Dunaway. He’s had Parkinson’s disease for 18yrs. All the docs thought he’d be an invalid within 5-7yrs & probably dead in no less than 10, yet he still manages to get around fairly well & has the most amazing attitude. His favorite response to the kids is, ” I can’t LOSE! I’ll wake up here with ya’ll to enjoy what the new day brings, & be able to bless someone new, or I’ll wake up in GLORY with my Lord. Either way, it’ll be a glorious day!!”. It’s apparent you are of the same mind, so be strong in the Lord, brother, & know the love & prayers of many are with you. Thank you for all you’ve taught me, as I continue to be blessed each day. Shalom.
March 30th, 2006 at 2:47 pm
Mr. Zola Levitt’s program brought me to the reality that to believe in Jesus is Jewish (being a Gentile, and a Roman Catholic besides, I was always hearing that it was an oxymoron to be Jewish and still believe in Jesus as the Messiah). Mr. Levitt brings back the faith of the apostles, as it was, in the 1st. century, with all of its Semitic tenets. All we can do is pray for God’s will. If Mr. Levitt makes it, that would be wonderful, and would mean more insight programs. If not, may he be with the Lord.
Two of the most interesting segments to me, BTW, of “Zola Levitt Presents” were those with the two former terrorists, Walid Shoebat and Ergun Caner. Shocking insight on what these terrorist groups do, yet wonderful to hear how Christ redeemed both of these gentlemen.
March 30th, 2006 at 3:08 pm
Zola and Sandra — We love you so. We are not only praying, but fasting, and I strongly encourage those who love you to fast. Now I’m going to speak to our Family of God — You can fast in many ways, but fast! It is the word of the day. Fast and pray for Zola and Sandra and their family. Remember to also pray for the peace of Jerusalem and hold the line for the Levitt family who has taken a hit. Come on, you warriors, get that shiny armour you keep in the closet, dirty!! Let’s do battle for our brother and sister Levitt and push back that enemy. Use the mighty, omnipotent NAME above all names and wield that sword of the SPIRIT! Not by might, not by power, but by my Spirit, saith the Lord. Show our dear Lord you believe His word and suit up for this battle! Use the faith He’s bled for you to use and fight! God bless you.
March 30th, 2006 at 6:27 pm
Dear Zola,
My honest reaction is – “We still need you!” There just isn’t anyone else like you, who is Jewish, doing what you are doing. I am praying to Yeshua that he heals you.
With Love,
A fan of Jesus and you named Jane
March 30th, 2006 at 6:46 pm
Bobbie and I are praying for you. Have told so many people about you and your wonderful trips to Israel. We will continue to share your videos with our friends encourageing them to tour Israel.
March 30th, 2006 at 10:12 pm
This may be long so I understand if it isnt placed on the comment page but I just hope Zola can read it or someone can read it to him. He is one of the very special person’s in my spiritual life that I feel I personally know him.
I am to be 40 years old in two days and I am of Sephardic origin and because of this I have been drawn to know more about this so as to reach out to those who, like I was, are trying to understand how the Messiah and their Jewishness fits in. I still pray for where G-d wants me to serve since I am in a town of less than 2,000 people. You have blessed me so much especially with knowledge about the Jewishness of the Bible and the importance of ancient Jewish thinking when it comes to understanding the scriptures. Thank you for presenting the reality of what happens in most of the daily life of Israel as opposed to the misinformation and recycled lies from most of our media. Watching your videos on Internet TV and watching your programs on TV has given me greater insight about the importance of Israel in my daily life and Israel’s undeniable central position in this world’s affairs whether great or small.
Thank you for the Levitt Letter because it also greatly illuminates my spirit and mind that I find it a rare kind of publication among the sea of disinformation and liberal press so prevalent around me. Its because of observing programs like yours that I now begin my prayer first by focusing on Israel and ministries such as yours. I just got a copy of “Zola’s Introduction to Hebrew” because I plan to travel to Israel hopefully by next year thanks to your excitement when you talk about visiting Israel and the statement you make about visiting our future residence.
I was raised and schooled in the Catholic religion and carried this fear because of the pagan dualistic thought that the devil and G-d are equals and one sometimes loses and the other wins. Thank G-d He liberated me from such unbiblical distortions and that He has constantly demonstrated a most fascinating part of his character through His word and my personal experience: His sovereignty. I can recall the details of dreams I had as a child and that years later were lived out while I was learning about G-d’s sovereignty. I have lived out specific dreams during my recent years as a believer and I know that God is beyond time since the places and things in my dreams as a child were recently lived out in the greatest details its almost eery.
But just learning through you about how Israel has survived and how it should not actually be in existence has been a great comfort to me that there is nothing, including satan, that can disrupt or contend against G-d: He is in full control and no one or a group can surprise Him or change His plans If G-d knows the future and controls everything as so many books of the Old Covenant reiterate as a theme, satan is not even in the picture when it comes to control though from our perspective it may seem sometimes to be. I struggled with mental anguish and near insanity for many years concerning God’s sovereignty and now it is clear that G-d is in control even of such things as cancer or mental illness. I should not be sane and yet the sovereign all knowing G-d slowly healed me. It was after doing well in a philosophy class taught by a very interesting Jewish professor that got me pondering seriously about G-d’s existence and slowly into deep despair and near insanity. I thank G-d that He placed that Jewish woman, Mrs. Price, in my path since I owe her much for G-d using her to cause me to search for real meaning in this short dimension on this earth.
I know without a doubt that God is in control of your cancer and nothing is causing G-d from preventing Him of healing you nor is it because of a lack of faith or because of some coincidence. I know that it definitely is not because some enemy or enemies “cursed” you or some punishment. Rabbis say “coincidence is not a kosher word”. In fact satan is even used by G-d for G-d’s purposes so I hope you are not struggling thinking there is some kind of “cosmic battle” between satan and Elohim. I used to get well intentioned people telling me there was a battle going on between G-d and satan for my mental anguish but I know better from the scriptures that G-d has purposes sometimes not revealed to us for that moment and His timing is different from ours and a battle between G-d and satan is not even an issue. If anyone is satan’s equal it would be Mikhael the archangel which both are creations of G-d. We often give satan more credit or just credit for what he doesnt deserve. As a friend once told me, God causing or not causing is not accurate in interpreting God’s actions: The pharisaical terms are more accurate and they are allowing and disallowing. May not be very important to many believers but for someone desiring to learn about the Jewishness of scriptures, they make a difference.
You give me such a sense of peace when I observe you on TV recently as you express that you are at peace in your condition. You are content whether G-d takes you from this limited dimension or keeps you here. I hope I can be like you if God ever allows me to be in the position you are in. I have a friend that was told she was going to die within 6 months due to the cancer all over her body. That was six years ago….G-d controls our times even if professionals perceive otherwise…Her sister who is healthy has been mistaken several times by nurses and doctors for being the person with cancer since my friend looks healthier than her sister! She has so much peace despite the pain she has and she seems to exude so much peace just being around her. I learned later after meeting her to not be praying just for her healing because I now realize G-d has created something in her more incredible than a sudden healing since she reflects the Messiah’s peace while going through the cancer treatments. Its easy to praise Him when we are in good health but it is more of a testimony to even our enemies in the faith when we can do it with sincerity while sick. I think that many who watch you now are drawn to the Lord because of your testimony and even more unbelievers will become Christians and completed Jews.
I am reminded of what Jewish teachers say about the book of Job; it is not so much about Job’s perseverance and satan’s temptations as it is really more about God’s control of every situation including those we may consider insignificant—G-d’s sovereignty… I bought one of your musical CDs that I think is titled “The First Christians” and I love the book you wrote in the 70s about UFOs–very insightful especially after I have witnessed these things personally very recently. If I dont see you in this present dimension, I will see you soon in the air. Your brother in Messiah that prays for you , Mark
March 31st, 2006 at 10:52 am
Dear Zola,
I am so glad that a couple of years ago you were at a church some fifty miles from me. This was Easter morning and instead of attending my church, I drove to the city to see you. I loved your presentation. Thank you, for being there and that I was in that audience.
Tears come in my eyes because I know you are sick, but I want God’s will to be done in your life.I have a special love for Jewish people and the land of Israel cause I believe it’s my home.
God Bless you my friend,
March 31st, 2006 at 2:17 pm
Dear Zola, Your tv program and your newsletters have been a blessing to me. You have also been a blessing to the world. May Yeshua keep you in his loving care.
March 31st, 2006 at 3:59 pm
Dear Zola my brother in Him, my prayers are with you.
I have faith that His will be done and that is the very
best place that we can find ourselves – deep in the
center of His will. Our lives have many facets to it and
we cannot see all of them, but be sure that each one is
just as beautiful as the ones we do see, even more so.
As a hospice nurse, I have many times envied what my
patients have seen and heard before they left this realm
and walked into the next. We are so blessed to have the
time we have here, but we are even more blessed when we
are absent from the body and present with Him. If the
time be now or in the future, we know that there is no
fear in the place that He has prepared for us, because
that place is perfect – much more then it is here in
this realm. That is why I stand on His perfect will for
you because I know that it is ALL GOOD! because He is
GOOD.
Much love and blessings to you
Kathleen
March 31st, 2006 at 7:24 pm
Dear Zola and Sandra,
I so appreciate you perseverance and faithfulness during such a difficult time. Edith Schaeffer in The Life of Prayer tells of when the family found out that Francis was sick with cancer. One of her children remarked to her that they couldn’t blow it now. Quite simply, they were facing the greatest challenge to their faith. But true faith has nothing to fear from any challenge and that is what came across so plainly in your recent show with Sandra. What a testimony of God’s grace, mercy and love. Both of you and all of your family will remain in my prayers. It is so apparent that the victory is already yours.
With prayers and love,
Robert
March 31st, 2006 at 9:43 pm
Dear Zola and family,
I am so sad, I can’t find words to tell you how much you have come to mean to me for many, many years. I look forward to seeing you every week, as a child looks forward to a visit from her father. I know that what you teach is truth and the world is so in need of you at this time! I wish you could do a show everyday!! I have tried to spread the word of your teaching every chance I get. I just wanted to tell you that it is my hearts desire that you will get well and some day we can meet. If not, then look me up in heaven when I get there. With all my love and prayers, Nancy
March 31st, 2006 at 10:15 pm
Dear Zola:
I have been so blessed by your teachings and because of them have had the opportunity to witness to your brethren. You have blessed so many by your faithfullness to our Lord and I pray He will leave you with us a while longer but even if the Lord takes you home I rejoyce in the knowledge that we will not be saying good bye to you but see you later. How wonderful to know we will all be together forever in the kingdom of God. May our Lord bless you and your family.
March 31st, 2006 at 11:53 pm
Dear Brother Zola,
I met you in 1974 at the home of my then landlord in Dallas (We had frozen pizza with some “doctoring up”) I had made a Christian album called Jesus When the Sun Goes Down (my band was called Trinity) We talked about music and I really loved it!!
I have followed you and your ministry for years off and on, always amazed at your wisdom and insight. You have given me many a respite of joy and peace in an otherwise desperate field of Rehab medicine. Listening to your music and your insight about Israel and the Messiah always makes me realize and remember that I am really HIS son!!!
I pray for you and the family during this time. By the way, I’ve used Melatonin 15-20mg at night before bed for many of my cancer patients. It helps them sleep like babies, augments the efficacy of the chemotherapy and restores some of the appetite that’s lost during the treatments. Perhaps if you have some of these symptoms, you may want to use it. There is a lot of current research (Russ Reiter, also a Ph.D. in neuropharmacology at UTHSC in San Antonio has done most of this work) using melatonin for all of these things with good results, so it’s not just a ‘folk cure’…and it’s over the counter at Walmart.
Also Vitamin D (also over the counter) has been recently shown to improve the efficacy of lung, breast, colon, prostate and melanoma cancer treatment….not to mention its prevention. I’d take about 1200 units a day. It comes in 400 unit gelcaps.
I grieve in your illness. I pray that your pain and suffering is eased supernaturally as well as through the judgement and knowledge of your physicians. I know that many are praying along with me for you and your family.
Now, let me also say that after 20 years in medicine, I have heard many of my patients describe their experiences in Heaven after we rescussitate them. The stories are AMAZING…”it has not even entered into the imagination of man”…and they can’t wait to go back. I am very excited to see the place myself after hearing their experiences!
And Zola, don’t take this the wrong way, but as it looks like you’re gonna beat me to Heaven, I want you to get the band tuned up so I can join in when I get there. I’ll introduce you to my dad…an amazing musician as well. I can’t wait to meet you again!!
Thank you for your faithful service these many years! You continue to inspire me to focus on the REAL work at hand and not get distracted from our purpose and resolve.
Love to you and yours,
I’ll see you soon,
LEW

“..thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven” There is no sickness or disease in Heaven. We need to agree with the Lord Jesus that we have the provisions of Heaven in the here and now. Believers do not have to get some terminal illness to go to be with the Lord.
Case in point; what did Moses die of ? “his eyes were not dim, neither was his natural force abated” Deut 34:7 He died as healthy as a colt !! God just flipped the “off” switch. My dear Zola, by His stripes we are healed (were) in 1 Pt 2:24.
May the healing of the Lord come upon you and overtake you.
Rejoicing with you in you victory,
David
April 1st, 2006 at 11:28 am
Zola,
Several of us are in agreement in asking the Lord to extend His Mercy to you as he did Hezekiah. May He give you more years to continue your ministry between the Jews and the Gentiles.
April 1st, 2006 at 12:24 pm
I am shocked I am just now finding this out. But the very FIRST thing that came to
my mind is something the L-rd reminded me of not long ago while praying for ill Jews
in Eretz Yisra`el.
In the scriptures on MORE than one Pessach, G-d healed ALL the children of Israel.
We know that matzah is the healing bread. So I will add you to my very lengthy prayer
list of children of Israel who need to be healed this Pessach.
You know the scriptures as well as I do. Life is not finished until G-d says so.
I LOVE YOU and I release the love of G-d shed abroad in my heart to the entire Levitt
family.
April 2nd, 2006 at 12:58 am
Dear Zola, Sandra and family,
Along with other comments above:
I am thanking the LORD GOD of Israel and Gentile believers in Y’shua for the stamina HE has blessed you with thus far. I watched your program today introducing Sandra and was grateful, but it also brought tears to my eyes. The love you two share is so wonderful to see and encouragement to many. What is more wonderful is the love you both have for Y’shua, knowing that HIS Word is sure and that you are dedicated to HIS Glory. As one Bible teacher puts it, every one goes on time, God’s time.
He will bless you Zola and keep you and continue to send out HIS Word through you as long as it takes. Take heart Sandra, the LORD Y’shua has touched my heart through your faithfulness, and Zola’s too.
I have to confess a jealousy. Not a negative one, but one I am sure all those who truly believe will understand. You may get to go home before us! However, bodily we will still meet in the air as so shall we ever be with our LORD. Wherefore comfort one another with these words. Amen!
Thank you Zola for your Jewish – Christian Studies Institute. I have just recently received the course and am excited about exploring God’s Word in more depth.
Thank you for showing us what trusting in Y’shua is really all about. It isn’t about bravery, it is knowing [b}WHO[/b] you have believed.
My prayers are with you according to God’s Will.
With love in Y’shua HaMeshiach,
Elizabeth
April 2nd, 2006 at 2:38 pm
I pray for you and the ministry everyday. I don’t understand God’s workings, but I do know that miracles happen. I have also come to realize God’s timing in life, especially health problems. Faith seems to be one of the key words here. I feel closer to ZLM now than I did when working there. I guess I pray more now than ever for the ministry and work being done by Zola and the staff.
My first thought was “Who is going to replace Zola? There is no other Zola in the world. Nobody can do the job.” I was almost in a frantic wondering who is going to keep the ministry going. Then I remember my daily devotional that I read today. It was all about trust. Guess I lost a little when I first received the news.
We had special prayer for you Zola’s health, regardless of God’s decision, today in Sunday School. My prayer is that he will be able to continue with the TV program for many many more years.
In Christ

Dearest Zola, Hebrew Christian and beloved brother in Christ,
As a gentile nurse, I am praying daily that God will flood you continually with His grace during this time of suffering. I am praying for every possible symptom both physical and emotional to be ameliorated by the great physician.
For some time I have fervently prayed for two Jewish colleagues. I have ordered several of your books and watched your television program many times. Your words have provided wisdom that I can share with them. I will continue to pray that they will accept the Messiah and I will continue to pray for the peace of Jerusalem. May God richly bless you, Julie Ellis.

Zola,
I just want to let you know, I am praying to God for a full recovery. I have been watching your program for close to two years, and I have learned so much, especially about Israel, and God’s Chosen People, the Jewish People. I am praying that you will be able to continue the Lord’s work, as you have so faithfully been doing.
God Bless You and Yours,
Kenneth

Beloved Zola, I lost my father to lung cancer in 2001, and now I feel like I have to
relive that pain all over again with you. I have never met you, but through your ministry you have become most precious to me. Each time I see your program, I weep, praying G-d will leave you here on earth a while longer, but in my heart I feel He is going to give you the ultimate healing. My heart rejoices that you will be in the presence of our dear Saviour, but it also breaks because I will be losing someone who is dear to me, just as my father was. G-d bless you Zola. Just know how much you are loved. Dearest Sandra, you will be kept in my prayers, for strength, comfort and peace. Shalom, Linda

Hi Zola:
You once said Jews were very abrupt and to the point. You’re right; so here goes: it’s time to thank Yeshua for healing you at the cross and tell the devil to stuff his cancer. If someone were trying to hand you a hissing viper you’d have no trouble saying no thanks you keep it. Well, this is the same situation. Tell the devil no thanks you keep the cancer and go on with your life. Don’t resign to the sickness! God promises long life and honor to those who obey and trust Him. You are certainly doing that so this promise is yours. The rapture is too close now for you to miss it and you are simply too young to die. I so love you and your ministry. Your teaching and music have been such an inspiration to me. I just sent my first full size book to a publisher. I expect it to be accepted and you are first on my list to get a free copy. I want you to read my book! Please, please, please Zola, don’t give in to this. I am praying for you with all my heart and soul but you are the only one who can receive it. Anytime the devil reminds you of the cancer, just remind him of the lake of fire. God often calls Jews stiff-necked and this is true. But being stiff-necked isn’t always bad. It’s one of the reasons God chose them. He wanted a people who would keep getting up no matter what knocked them down. It’s time for your stiff-necked nature to go into high gear. Declare yourself healed by Yeshua, believe it and don’t doubt in your heart and you WILL receive it.
Shalom 🙂

Rabbi…
Wow….what can I say? I am a person of Jewish descent (on my father’s side) who was raised in a nominally catholic home. In my 30’s, I accepted Y’shua as my Messiah. During the past few years, thanks in part to your teaching, I have discovered the richness of my Jewish roots. Thank you for teaching me….Shalom, dear teacher. Until we meet in the presence of Y’shua Himself….Shalom.

We had just found your program on TV and are finding it hard to understand why the Father is asking this of you, but we are standing beside you in prayer that your faith may be held higher and you may find many of us will be right behind you!!! I wish I knew how to say something in Hebrew that would explain just how we feel, but we are certain your ministry was exactly what you were to do on this earth!! Shalom – Tom and Audrey

Dear Zola,
May God bless you and your family during your illness. You have enriched my life so much just by watching your program. Sometimes you really make me laugh, remember laughter is great Medicine. I have a little joke for you-What do cockroaches and the Hammas have in common? Answer:
They have been around too long,are pests that most people could live without,and only come out after dark! Maybe the best way to catch them is with a “Roach Motel” ’cause remember they check in but they don’t check out!
Love ya Zola

Dear Zola, My Prayers go out for you and your family…I’m very sad to hear of this illness that may take you home to Jesus because I will miss you .In this short time I’ve gotten to appreciate your straight foreward teaching of Gods word and I also have such a heart for His Chosen People as well… I have not wirnessed very well but I have heard your plea to get going and make a positive issue about what Christ has done for us all…Thank You Faithful Servant of the most High God…We never got to meet on earth but I sure hope we can in heaven.. Love in Christ…. Jim P

Dear Zola,In 1981 Dodie Osteen was told, in the Texas Medical Center, that she had terminal liver cancer. The doctors said she could have treatments or not, she would die soon either way. She and her husband John Osteen prayed and went home. In her book she said that her husband needed her; her children needed her; her church (Lakewood Church) needed her and He needed her. She affirmed healing Scriptures out loud every day so that God could hear her and the angels could hear her and the devil could here her. She is still with us and beautiful as ever. The battle is in the mind. Please decide to stay with us.

Dear Zola,
I can’t tell you enough how much I enjoy your show. I enjoyed getting the Jewish background to my Christian faith. I was shocked to hear of your condition. I, too, have cancer and they say that it is terminal. But I know in my heart that I am not gonna die until God says so. I will be praying for you Zola and your family. I know that you all are going thru a hard time, but the Lord will see you thru this. God bless you, Zola
I would like to share my testimony with you all to encourage and strength your faith if I may.

MY TESTIMONY
I wish to use my experiences with cancer to encourage others who have gone thru it and it is my testimony of my faith that got me thru all the madness of cancer that it gives.
Last year, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I was pretty shocked to say the least. At first, I was embarrassed by it and I didn’t want to tell anybody. But, I eventually began to open up about it and I freely talk about it now. I never once was angry at God about it and I never asked, “Why Me?” For I am no better than anybody else, so why not me. Being young and having that youthful cockiness, I breezed thru my mastectomy like it was nothing. I know now that the Lord had His Hand on me and also so many people prayed for me, even from people I didn’t know. I was told that I had to take chemo as a precaution. I was a stage 2 which isn’t considered too serious. So, I went thru six grueling months of chemo. My first four I got so sick and my last four I experienced a lot of bone pain like I was being squeezed to death. During the first four chemos, I would get so sick for about three days straight. There just wasn’t any let up. I remembered that I cried, yelled, cussed, repented and prayed. God in His own way was dealing with me. I believe He was getting me to depend on Him because I needed to do that. I had a hard time remembering anything because of having chemo brain but a Scripture came to my mind and I repeated it continuously when I was getting sick, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me”. That is all I could remember at the time and it helped. With my fourth chemo, it was also my last of the first four that I took, I was listening to an old gospel song. It was by an old gospel group, The Soul Stirrers, and I played it all day while I was getting sick. The song was called, “The Last Mile of The Way”. It goes, “When I’ve gone the last mile of the way, I shall rest at the closing of the day. For I know there are joy that awaits me when I’ve gone the last mile of the way”. That song and Scripture got me thru chemo. I did get bitter about chemo though but it didn’t last long. One thing, I can’t understand is someone going thru cancer and chemo and not believing in God. I know one thing for sure when you are in the bathroom puking your guts out, you’re gonna call out to somebody I guarantee it. I know I did. You then realize how fragile you really are.
When I finished with chemo, I went back to work. I had that youthful cockiness again. Nothing was gonna stop me from walking “The Race For The Cure”. I walked three miles and then went to work for four hours. I worked like that for about a month and half after my last chemo when I experienced back pain like I never had before. I have a high pain tolerance but this was too much for me so I knew it was serious. I went back to the doctor to not only to find that I had a compressed fracture in my spine but I had a recurrence. I was told I was at a stage 4 now which is considered terminal. My husband and I went home crying. I honestly thought I had it licked the first time. I was just so discouraged over this. I was at a loss. I cried and prayed, “Lord, whatever Your will.” I did not ask to be healed because ultimately it was up to God.
One day, I was listening to some songs by Mahalia Jackson and heard a song I have never heard before. I am a big fan of hers but I never heard this song before. It was called”That’s All right”. It went something like this,”That’s all right, it’s all right, as long as I know I got a seat in Your Kingdom Lord, it’s all right”. I just cried all the way thru it because I honestly didn’t feel like it was gonna be all right. I mean, how could it be? I had a recurrence and I was terminal. How could that be all right. For several days I continued to cry. I didn’t realize that with those tears brought healing. My mind, my emotions and my soul was being healed and I didn’t even realize it.
In the meantime, I went thru radiation. I had 22 sessions in all. I always tried to be cheerful but one day I was waiting for my turn to get zapped and that same song, “That’s All right”, was running thru my head. There I was, just a humming away and getting happy. It didn’t matter to me that I was getting zapped with radiation because everything was gonna be all right. In the Bible it says, “This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it”. It said to be glad in it. It didn’t say I had to be glad about it but to be glad in it. So even though I wasn’t happy about going thru radiation I was happy in it.
Also, during that time I had a revelation. I woke up from a nap and the first thing that ran thru my mind was what Jesus said about taking up your cross and following Him. I just said,”Yes, Lord, I’ll do that”. But I couldn’t help but to see my cross looking like a big letter “C”. For cancer. But that is the cross I got to carry and that is the cross I got to bear.
I ended up having to quit my job because of my back and my recurrence. I had to swallow my pride and depend on the government for help. Cancer striped about everything from me-my pride, my dignity, my job and my health. But there is a Scripture that says,” Humble Thyself in the sight of the Lord and He will lift you up”. I have never been more humble in my life than I am right now. One day God’s gonna lift me up. It may not be right now while I am on this Earth but one day He’s gonna lift me up. I just have to be patient. God can deliver us in any circumstance we have, even while our body is failing us. I am a witness to that.
For several years, I strayed from the Lord and said and done somethings that I should not have and since repented. I just was wondering around lost all the time. There was a reason for me having cancer I don’t regret having it because it got me back to God. God loved me enough that He didn’t want me to miss out on my eternal rewards. I do remember a time when I was too afraid to go to sleep at night because I didn’t think I would wake up the next morning. When you are given a life sentence it is hard not feeling that way. But now when I do wake up, I just figured He woke me up for a reason and it’s not my time to go home yet. My reason is to do His will in my life for however long I’ve got. Sometimes in life you have to realize that all you have left is faith in God. Because cancer shows no mercy but God does. That is why I can smile and that is what keeps me going.

Dear Zola and Sandra,
We thoroughly enjoyed the program in which you introduced Sandra to us. She’s a lovely lady, as well as someone who shares our love of God and Israel, and of course, a love for you! Your Valentine’s Day song for her was exquisite, and it’s a recording we’ll keep, and watch over and over. Thank you for sharing her with us. And Sandra, I never fail to notice that at the end of every program is that statement, “A Special Thank You to Sandra Levitt.” As you continue on, please know how much you’re loved, appreciated, and prayed for.
May your blessing abound!

Sandra- You are so Beautiful! I pray we see more of you in future episodes, after all you have been a “Private Student” for so long! Whats on the head comes down on the Body! My advice to you is enjoy every minute! For all of us – life is a temporary assignment. There is a Country Western singer who has a new song out (Brad Paisley with Dolly Parton) called “When I get where I’m going”… It is very comforting…
May God’s Grace abound…
See You in Heaven or Sooner…
