"Go back"

I’d like to replace my aging car and I have been praying about it for a long time. At one time restoring MG sports cars was a hobby. In the past I was always towing home ‘dead’ MGs so the motto of my shop was: “If it’s dead; it’s Ed’s”. I no longer have tools, yet the occasional clean “dead” car attracts me. On my six mile walk-n-pray I kept passing this clean car that seemed never to move. The grass growing around the wheels was a dead give-away. All I needed to do was knock on a door and ask, but I felt dissuaded from that course of action. I just said a little prayer each day as I passed it. “YAH if you want me to have this car, I’m asking you to make things happen”. Weeks went by as I prayed each day I walked. Then two weeks ago on a Sunday afternoon (7/17/16), there were three young men sitting in the fenced back yard talking. I did not intrude but within ten more steps I heard The-VOICE- command:

“Go Back!”

So there I was standing next to the dead car being told to go back and talk to these three young men. My mind was only on the car. Maybe one of them owns it? I went back and asked. Yes, one of the three was the owner, and he explained the many reasons why I should not pursue this dead car. With that business out of the way, the other young man wearing a kippa spoke up asking: “Are you Jewish?” To which I said “Yes”. With that answer he sent a barrage of questions my way, one after another. Each answer seemed to spur the next question. One of the first answers I gave him was …”and Y’shua also is our Mashiyach.” Normally that cuts off all communications, but not today. The major story I brought up was of Joseph’s brothers not recognizing him in Egypt. That was a lively discussion. I was able to explain how the story of Joseph is a prophecy regarding Y’shua not being recognized. I ended the conversation with: “I am not a Christian and I don’t believe in ‘Jesus’”. His eyes shot from looking at the ground to a lock with mine. His eyes were intense! Intense! With burning intense eye to eye contact, I said it again: “I am not a Christian and I don’t believe in ‘Jesus’”. I let that sink in and then said “Y’shua is the Mashiyach of Yisra’el and all Peoples”. I gave him my card that has the above Luke 2:32 logo on it; and made my exit. The encounter was so intense AND positive that for the next 3 miles tears flowed praying for them.

 

YAH is calling Yisra’el. More and more Yisra’el is answering. Just read the words of Yehudah Katz’s song below. Does Yehudah knowingly write about the Ruach calling him or does he not know of which he is writing?

 

May we all SOON see Y’shua freed from the constraints that theology have placed on him, so that ALL may recognize the true Mashiyach. Amen!

1 At last Yosef could no longer control his feelings in front of his attendants and cried, “Get everybody away from me!” So no one else was with him when Yosef revealed to his brothers who he was.

2 He wept aloud, and the Egyptians heard, and Pharaoh’s household heard.

3 Yosef said to his brothers, “I am Yosef! Is it true that my father is still alive?” His brothers couldn’t answer him, they were so dumbfounded at seeing him.

4 Yosef said to his brothers, “Please! Come closer.” And they came closer. He said, “I am Yosef, your brother, whom you sold into Egypt.

5 But don’t be sad that you sold me into slavery here or angry at yourselves, because it was God who sent me ahead of you to preserve life.

(Answer Me)

A lonely Soldier's Tale

 

Sitting in the orchard

My head aches and is spinning,

So too is my heart

 

I feel so alone

Seemingly watching no one

No one

 

Suddenly I hear a voice

Everything is ready to come down

 

Please give me the real answer

Save me with the truth

 

I turn here and there

Searching for that person who is whispering inside me

 

Who is it? I want to know

What is he trying to tell me?

 

I'm listening to your voice

My soul is lovesick

 

Please give me the real answer

Save me with the truth

 

Please give me the real answer

Save me with the truth

 

I'll clear a space in my heart

You can live there forever

We can talk day to day

 

I want to touch the heavens

I don't have to be an angel to know that

 

I'll build a little sanctuary

What an awesome place

 

Please give me the real answer

Please give me the real answer

Save me with the truth

 

Please give me the real answer

Please give me the real answer

Save me with the truth

 

Please give me the real answer

Please give me the real answer

Save me with the truth

 

I'll clear a space in my heart

I'll clear a space in my heart
