**************

Shalom, my beautiful and beloved brothers and sisters in Yeshua,
Most my life I have been a highly-independent, self-sufficient and
self-confident Gentile newspaper reporter.  That is until, unexpectedly
and inexplicably, I was one day introduced to a Messianic Jew by the
name of Peter Eliastam in Johannesburg.  Having interviewed prime
ministers and pimps, nuns and nymphomaniacs, arch-bishops and arch-
criminals, super saints like Alan Paton and Richard Wurbrand and
super-stars like Roger Moore and Liberace, I had never come across a man
of true and transparent intergrity, a man who emnated love from his very
being, a man who through observation I noticed loved the unattractive
and the rejects of society, a man who loved unconditonally, a man who
gave all his income to housing, clothing and feeding the despised and,
then, by teaching them the Word, witnessed their total transformation
into new creation beings, freed of drugs, alcohol and above all sexual
lust.

As this small little Jew began to enlighten the truth of the scriptures
to me, I was suddenly faced with my own horrenduous reality and in shame
I began to weep in how I had used and abused my talents and other
human-beings to feed my fat, insatiable ego.  Without realising what was
happening to this hard, cynical and fast-living highly successful
journalist, I came face to face with the Messiah dying on the cross,
paying the ultimate penalty for me for my sinful G-dless life. I knew
that it was me who deserved to be hanging naked on that cross after a
lifetime of lies, lust and verbally emotionally destroying literally
thousands of other human-beings with my pen and polluting many women
with my so-called love. (He who knew no sin, became sin for me so that I
could be the righteous.") Hours later I climbed up from the floor and
knew that I was a totally different person.  It was then explained to me
that I had been "born-again.," a new creation. G-d used a Jew to save me
and that is why I am so indebted to the Jewish people and am devoting
all my time and energy and prayers to experiencing the veil being lifted
and the eyes of their hearts enlightened which is shortly about to
happen, is happening. Helleluia.

The point I am trying to make is that tonight I have to humble myself
and realise how I need to surrender my self-sufficiency and
self-reliance and appeal to my brothers and sisters to help me.  I do 
desperately need your love and prayers.

Allow me to briefly explain; for the past year I have been ministring 
to two young men, both in their early thirties.  One a univeristy
graduate named Nicholas, and the other a highly talented musician, 
singer, composer and lyricist, named David.

Although they have both accepted the Yeshua is the Messiah and asked Him
into their lives, they both remain in a mess. Both remain on drugs and
are alcoholics and no matter how many hours daily I have interceded for
them, they remain prisoners.  Both were emotionally and pyschologically
brutalised my their parents and brought-up in atheist war-torn,
lovesless homes. Neither have ever had a girl-friend and the graduate is
in fact still a virgin. Although good-looking he has never ever even
been kissed by a girl, and this remains is dream  Just for one girl to
find him attractive, love him and kiss him on the mouth. Having been
married and divorced three times, the most beautiful experiences of my
life,  I inwardly cry for them both for they have never experienced
love.   

Recently both have been seriously contemplating suicide (they don't know
each other) and that is why I am humbly crying out for your prayers for
their total deliverence. I have failed them but I know that the Lord
with hear the collective cry of His children.  My mother committed
suicide when I was a young man and my best friend blew his brains out in
front of my wife and young children and that  is why I do not take these
threats lightly.  I am aware that they are both being indoctrinated and
driven my spirits of death and suicide and that their craving for
alcohol and drugs are the result of demons residing in them, but I have
failed in my prayers of spiritual warfare on my own and I am now needing
the reinforcements of as many of you as possible so that these two
intelligent,sensitive and caring yopung men can be set free, made whole
and Yeshua glorified.

Sorry I am not being particulalry articulate but it is 2 a.m. here in
Britain and I suddenly had to hammer out this request.  My love and
prayers embrace each on of you.  Lionel.  ps. Please pray for me too for
I have resumed smoking (my third born-again wife recently having left
me) and  even with seven day fasts I cannot get  my deliverence. I love
you all so much that I want to cry with joy, knowing how the Ruach
Haqodesh is spiritually enlightening gentile believers in these very
last days.

i have a prayer request for a fellow believer who just found out she
has a rare form of cancer.  It was described as a very aggressive
type.  Her prognosis does not look good. But God is able. Please pray
for her and her family to be unified in this and her healing.
