The question I've been pondering lately is, why Zola Levitt, at the
end of every program (everyone watches Zola don't they?) asks that we
pray for the peace of Jerusalem. How does one approach G-d with such
a request when we know the end of the book? Is it because all our
hope, i.e., that the Jewish people come to know Yeshua, and the
Christian people come to know their Hebraic Roots, and that all long
for His soon return to Israel, is incompassed in this request? I
would be glad to know how others would respond Zola's prayer
request.
Peace in Yeshua

Beth,
When praying for the Peace of Jerusalem once, God began showing me
that I was praying for revival. Jesus is the King of Peace, the
prince of Peace, and when praying for the Peace of Jerusalem I was
praying for revelation of the Messiah to the Jewish nation.

Here is something written by Dietrich Bonhoeffer as he awaited
execution in a Nazi Prison Camp.......
O God, early in the morning I cry to you, Help me to pray And to
concentrate my thoughts on You ...
In me there is darkness, But with You there is light; I am lonely, but
You do not leave me; I am feeble in heart, but with You there is help;
I am restless, but with You there is peace. In me there is bitterness,
but with You there is patience; I do not understand Your ways But You
know the way for me. WOW! if he can focus on God during times like
he went through ..This poem makes me look at things in a different
light and humbles me by bringing to mind all of the blessings of God
in my life and I thought I would share it with you..

Eddie:
i have been apart of your newgroup for a short time. I am first to
admit that i do not know about my Hebraic Roots. After reading the
newgroup items each day it seems so deep and the fellowship so real.
I have a reason for writing this in addition to the previous
statement. The people that respond to prayer request seem to do so in
such sincerity and freedom that i do not experience in my fellowship.
I have always felt uneasy or imposing to ask the congregation to pray
for me. Maybe it is guilt or the enemy speaking to me. anyway i
confess my sin one to another. I read the prayer request for Nancy and
Rachel and it pierced my soul and brought out the truth in me. Being a
man i have difficulty admitting my fear. I ask your group to pray for
me. I see the passing on of this fear from one generation to the next.
I do not want to do this to my children. I have lived with fear and
guilt for many years and have become so tired. I know intellectually
that Jesus is the healer and maker of completeness, but i have not
received this revelation completely in my heart. I know this must
break His heart too.
Paul said that God has not given us the spirit of fear. Please ask
your group to pray that i recieve this revelation in the Holy Spirit. There
is much harder pain in real life than i can explain here.
Thank You for Your Freedom in Christ:
Ronald

Nancy,
Sometimes we are unable to relinquish our fear or anger, we must yield
that inability to G-d, so that he can make us able to do such. I too
am divorced with 3 children and have resolved never to put my neck in
that noose unless G-d opens my eyes to such. You must try not to live
in the past as well and yield that inability. He can sort it out.

Shalom Aleichem Nancy
May the L-ord bless you and make his face to shine upon you
You know that it is HaSatan that is trying to put in you turmoil and
to keep you from giving your attention and love to your daughter, I
would like to pray for you.
Almighty and Everlasting Father
Take Nancy and put a covering over her and her daughter, You are a
mighty L-rd who will give healing and love to this lady through Your
son Y'shua. L-ord forgive me for being presumptious but I would
like to remind You that You said that You would not let us suffer
anything that You would not let us bear, but sometimes L-ord things
become too much and we cannot see Your plan for our lives, so my
loving and every caring Father take all this lady's problems and lift
of the yoke of despair and turmoil.
HaSatan I rebuke you in the name of HaShem who is above you and rules
over you, I rebuke you in the name of Y'shua, you have no power or
control of Nancy or her daughter.
L-ord bless Nancy and her daughter
Amen
Much love to you Nancy and your daughter.
B'shem Adonai Y'shua

Dear Mishpachah (Family):
One hour ago, I got a telephone call from a completely stranger. He
just got a newsletter from some friends of ours, Ramon and Zipporah
Bennet in Jerusalem. In this Newsletter he found our telephonenumber.
This poor man from Norway asked me for help. I told him that I had a
wonderful family from all over the world, called the Hebraic Heritage
Newgroup. I also told him that I would ask you to stay with him in
prayer. This is briefly what he told me. (I noticed he was in stress.)
He told me he had tried to help a jewish lady out of a terrible
situation. This lady i an hungarian/german Jew and she is now "on the
edge", as he said. She is an artist, divorced from a alcoholized
husband. I understand that her situation is so precarious, that only
the Lord can help her out. The conversation was a bit cunfusing, but I
felt in my spirit that both of them really need help. This poor man
sounds so relieved when I told him that you where there and that the
Lord knows what's best for both him and this jewish woman he tries so
much to help.
He has no strenght and no more recources to help her more than he
already did. So please, stay with them in prayer and I know the Lord
will show them the way to rest and peace and a life full of
possibilities instead of pain and stress and lack of both money and
true friendship.
Thank you for reading this rather confusing Request, but I just had to
involve you. Bless you all.
In Yeshua

Shalom Cheryle
I spoke to Joan Womack on Saturday 8th November from England and we
spoke on the Prayer Net and I told her I would like to join this
prayer group.
We prayed together over the phone, praise the L-ord, Joann was so nice
we agreed on so much, Amen. Joan prayed in tongues although I did not,
the Holy Spirit did not lead me to do that at that time.
Could you pass on my Internet/Email details to her.
My Email address is: (KJEFFRIE@vbs.bt.co.uk)
Would you please pray for my wife Joan who is not yet born again.
HaMashiach Y'shua

Just a little note and let me tell you how much I enjoy my posts from this
group. i also ask that you pray for me and my family as we face a
large financial crunch. We are just 2 monthes short of being debt
free after working for almost 5 years toward this goal this I believe
is an attack of the enemy to try to make us make desisions in an
unGodly fashion but, we refuse to allow it to cause doubt or fear and
actually I think God will come out on top (of course). Just pray we
hear what He has to say and not try to solve things in our own
strength.
Thank Ya
Colleen
