Sid: As many of you know my wife Joy and I were in Israel for Passover with my Mishpocha, with my family. My sister and brother in law recently made Aliyah, emigrated to Israel and in the midst the Passover war broke out. So I was asked to be a news correspondent with 700 Club and I hope many of you saw that I really felt like an Old Covenant prophet. I really felt like I was speaking the heart of God from Jerusalem on the 700 Club. Then on the last night we did something we’ve never done before we… as you know we’re on secular television in almost every house with It’s Supernatural, our television show, in which I’m like an investigative reporter of miracles. In the last 2 minutes I tell people how they can have intimacy with God I mean what other purpose is there for a life? That is why I’m here, that is why you’re here, that’s why we’re all here. We want everyone everywhere to hear the good news.

I put a little blurb saying “Come to the King David Hotel if you want a miracle on such an such night.” Christine Darg a friend of mine had set up a conference and I was the speaker on that evening. We advertised that I would be speaking at the meeting and that miracles would take place. People that do not like Jewish people to be in Jesus they are called anti-missionaries, not missionaries, but anti-missionaries called up the King David Hotel and threatened to take their tax status away and to really hurt them if they allowed me to have this meeting. So of course we had a signed contract but we graciously said “We don’t want to hurt them so we’ll cancel our meeting.”

However, you know something I’ve learned and I’d like to say that I don’t make this mistake anymore but it would be a lie and I wouldn’t even go to heaven unless I repented. I have learned that God is bigger than the devil and what the devil means for evil God’s going to use for good.

There’s someone I’m speaking to right now and you stop worrying about that situation God’s going to turn it around for good.  If you’re praying the tongues, you’re praying in the Spirit, that’s what God says in Romans 8.

So anyway we cancelled the meeting at the King David Hotel in Jerusalem and booked a room, a larger room I might add, at the YMCA right across the street. They said we could put our sign up so people that would come to the meeting from television show or from other sources would then just walk across the street, but there were a few things we didn’t count on. By the way the reason it was so good is it was the last day of Passover which is a Sabbath, a Shabbat, and your not allow to use microphones and electricity. So if had the meeting at the King David I would have been limited in not being able to amplify my voice so it was good we went across the street. The bad thing was there was a sign… we put up a little sign saying “Go across the street” but it started raining. It’s really amazing that Israel is experiencing, I mean people don’t remember so much rain coming down all at once and it was just continuous and thunder and lightning you wouldn’t believe the thunder and lightning and hail stones. You don’t think it would happen this time of year. These hail stones are coming down I mean something really unusual is going on in Israel. I believe rain is a type of the Holy Spirit and I believe it’s indicative of a great outpouring of God’s Spirit that’s going to happen in Israel.

So with the pouring down rain and it being across the street and a few other details I won’t go into I didn’t expect, you of great faith, I didn’t expect a lot of people. But you know what, the auditorium was filled and it was much larger than the auditorium we had booked at the King David Hotel.

Almost immediately when I started speaking words of knowledge started pouring out of me, I mean words that I’ve never… I had a vision of a woman that had tumors all over her body and I called it out and I said “If you’re here raise your hand.” Now what’s the probability of someone, of a woman, number one I eliminated all men, having tumors all over her body. The woman raised her hand, now I can’t tell you she was healed because I just said “You’re healed in Yeshua’s name” I believed it because the vision that I had. Then I started hearing words of knowledge and I started speaking them out. Twenty, twenty-five people stood up that instantly had manifestations of healings it was like God wanted them to understand that the message that was being brought forth was not just any old message. It wasn’t just religion, it wasn’t just tradition, it was from the heart of God and what did I speak on? I spoke on intimacy with God that will come in the power of God that will come when Jews are added to the church just as when Jews came to the land of Israel it was a dustbowl no one wanted it, the Arabs didn’t want it only the Jews wanted because God said we’re supposed to have that land.

So when we went to that barren desert that wasteland it blossomed just as the Bible says “Blossomed as a rose.” The same thing will happen to the church when the Jew is grafted back into their original olive tree; the original branches are grafted in its going to be so easy that’s it’s going to bring that same life to the church. There was a blessing the Jewish people rejected their Messiah, how much greater blessing when they receive their Messiah? It’ll literally be life from the dead.

So I brought this message of how important it is to reach Jewish people with the gospel at this strategic set time in history. Many many people repented, and many many people were healed, and many many people were delivered of fear.

Oh God you’re so good and I believe that’s going on right now. But the rain is indicative of the next great move of God’s Spirit and there’s going to be an outpouring on Jewish people like the world has never seen before. Just like when the outpouring of the Holy Spirit came on the Jewish people the first coming of Messiah transformed this earth. When the outpouring of the latter day rain pours out on the Jewish people it’s going to transform the church which is going to transform the world.

Let me tell you some classified information so I can’t tell you exactly but I can tell you in the United States of America we have what are known as Messianic Jewish congregations. We have freedom of speech etcetera, but in Israel it’s not so easy for someone to be a Messianic Jew. Did you know today there are 400 congregations in Israel in 72 different cities? Did you know that the congregations since the intifada started have almost doubled if not doubled in size? Did you know that this same Spirit of God is moving on Arabs as well as moving on Jews? That there was in a 2 week period 200 Bedouins came to the Lord. In one day 70 Arabs in one village were saved and the most amazing creative miracle started happening… we’re in such a wonderful time but the devil’s getting nervous.

That’s why it’s imperative that Christians know the facts about God’s plan and walk in them. It’s not just the hearers of the word it’s the hearers and the doers of the word.
