Dear Friends and Fellow Saints, 

The Lord be with you  and bless you in this new year. May He satisfy you
with long life and show you the fullness of His great salvation in
Yeshua! (Psalm 91. 1-2, 9-11)

The New Year

Jeanette and I spent New Year's Day with some friends who live in a
small community near Pensacola, Florida. They were close friends with
Corrie Ten Boom, who stayed in their home on many occassions. They carry
on the Ten Boom family tradition on New Year's Eve. They gather friends
and family around a festive meal; and among other activities, each
person testifies to one special thing the Lord has done for them in the
past year, and speaks of their hopes in the Lord for the coming year.
Before midnight, Psalm 90 is read, and after midnight, with the emerging
new year, Psalm 91 is recited. This psalm was extraordinarily
significant for Corrie's life. 

The next day, we attended a leadership meeting at the Brownsville
Assembly of God in Pensacola. The speaker was Dr. Michael Brown, Dean of
thier Bible college. He said he was impressed of the Lord to speak on
the Hebrew text of Psalm 91! His emphasis was on the necessity of
disciplined prayer and intimacy with God for all true saints of the Most
High in the coming year. It was a compelling message that resonated
fully with the book I was reading at the moment: Bishop J. C. Ryle's
classic 19th century work on "Holiness". My heart was convicted and my
mind yearning for greater intimacy with the Holy God.

In prophetic as well as personal ways, I believe Psalm 91 will be a teme
text for many Christians in l998. How about you? Where will you live in
'98? The only secure place will be under the overshadowing presence of
the Almighty. He will be a shelter from the storms that assail us; in
His dwelling alone will be found the righteousness, peace and joy, the
fullness of life, we seek.

Brownsville Revival

Much is being written and said about the "Brownsville Revival" in
Pensacola. Jeanette and I attended two of the evening services, and in
many ways we were touched and impressed by what we saw and heard. The
fruit of deep repentance and authentic revival was evident. More tahn
100,000 people have experienced the convicting power of the Holy Spirit
in conversion or renewal since the revival began. There is a kind of
John-the-Baptist anointing on the assembly ---with the way clearly
prepared for the Lamb of God to take away the sin of all who repent and
call upon His name.

Teenagers and young adults, especially, are being transformed. At one of
the services, several young men and women were baptized. Their amazing
tetimonies spoke of deliverance from things like heroine addiction,
alcoholism and drug abuse, from hatred, anger and nihilism, from
prostitution and sexual abuse. The seriousness of sin and the redemptive
power of God's forgiveness is preached strongly and witnessed abundantly
in the lives of those changed. But a commensurate emphasis is given to
radically holy living, persevering prayer and the disciplined study of
God's word.

Some of the words that came to mind: fervency, expectancy, simplicity
and focus. One of the images that struck me: a few pews in front of me,
I noticed a young man in a white t-shirt, with his tanned arm uplifted
in praise to the God of Israel. His hand and arm were completely covered
in tattoos. But strapped to his wrist was a red bracelet with the raised
white letters, "W. W. J. D." (What Would Jesus Do?)

Sabbatical

As we reported in the last Update, we were directed by our Board to take
a one-month sabbatical. In hind-sight the leading of the Holy Spirit in
that direction was clear. It was a rare and, at first, somewhat of a
strange experience to be relieved of all our duties. But we quickly
adjusted, and the retreat proved pleasant, restful and conducive to
reflection.

To get away from Dayton, and our many responsibilities here, and to get
to a place of warmth and sunshine, we drove to Marco Island, Florida at
the tip of the Gulf Coast, where we stayed in the condo of some friends.
We had a wonderfully panoramic view of the ocean and enjoyed the
striking sunsets from our eighth-floor balcony. We read, listened to
music, watched old movies (especially Cary Grant, Jeanettes' favorite!),
worked jigsaw puzzles, went sight seeing and walked the beach collecting
sea shells!

It was a time for physical relaxation and emotional decom pression. It
also became an occasion for relection and healthy introspection. We both
came back encouraged and, each I think, with a sense of the Spirit's
shifting some priorities in our life and ministry. I also had
intimations of potentials and pssibilities that I had not felt in a long
time.

Yesterday, quite independently, I received a call from an intercessor
who heard in prayer that this would be a year of "closure" and "great
release" for us. This bears witness to what I am sensing also. It is
premature to speculate on these matters or speak of them publicly at
present. Suffice to say that we have a renewed sense of God's care for
us and His leading. We in turn are re-commiting to His lordship and the
furtherance of His kingdom. Give us a passion, Lord, for your Kingdom!

The Good Shepherd

Not often do I get to return to a text of Scripture that I have taught
on before and do some more materail on it. There are always so many
other subjects waiting to be addressed. But in the last months of '97, I
was impressed to return to a study of Psalm 23 ---a text I treated in a
single tape years ago. This time we ended up with three teaching
sessions. ($15 plus shipping - credit cards accepted.)

For me it was great fun to take the liberty and time to re-examine this
beloved passage in a detail and perspective not done before.
The result is a new teaching series which we are calling "The Shepherd
of Isarel." I hope you will send for the set. Listen with me as we
journey to the midbar (desert/wilderness) to learn some precious lessons
about the care and character of our God, the Shepherd over our souls.

Notes and Letters

Your response to our year-end letter overwhelmed us with your love and
kindness. We especially enjoyed reading the many notes and letters you
wrote. You are a diverse and remarkable group of people. We count it an
honor to call you Friends (Haverim) and look forward to being part of
your world in the coming year ahead. With the Lord's help we will do our
best to supply you with ongoing quality and informed isights into the
Holy Spirit.

May the Lord be honored in all that we do together. And in the days
ahead may you be blessed with all the riches of heaven.

Shalom, shalom,

Dear Mishpachah (family): 

I am attaching the information that can be found at
http://www.haydid.org/gospelcon.htm (or you can go to the page titled
"Conferences" on our homepage and link to the information). This is
the information on Dr. Brad Young's Conference coming up in Tulsa in
early April. If you cannot attend, please pass the word to others in
your circle of friends. This is a real dialogue being established

**********
Randy Felton of Potter's Clay Ministry and Dr. Doug Wheeler of Mended
Wings Ministry presented their first one day seminar in OKC, OK on
Feb. 7, 1998 at the Fifth Season Hotel. Tom and Cheryle (me) Holeman
attended the seminar and were very blessed by the time of fellowship
and teaching. We stayed at the home of Joan and Jerry Womack of
Gearworks (http://www.haydid.org/gearworks.htm) Prayer Network and had
a wonderful time of getting to know these prayer warriors. Joan and
Jerry joined us at the Saturday conference and we certainly can
recommend that others plan on joining us at the next one. (The two
ministries are hoping to offer one day seminars several times during
the year, Folks!)

When we got there we were so glad to see some old and new friends of
HaY'Did. Two ladies that had started out with us many years ago, were
a wonderful surprise when we got to the hotel! They have attended many
messianic conferences and prophesy conferences all across the USA over
the years, and they were glad to see us in attendance. We visited for
a while and then they said, "Cheryle, out of all the things we have
seen and experienced from one end of the country to the other, do you
know what we haven't heard?" I asked them what? Their answer was very
interesting..."We've not heard the Blood taught. This concerns us." I
just shook my head and tried to remember if I had ever heard it taught
lately... As the seminar began, I was sitting at the back of the room
and ...have you ever experienced the hair on the back of your neck
stand up when something is about to happen? Well, it stood up just as
the Glory Cloud rolled into the meeting room! I needed windshield
wipers to clear my glasses! The power of God was there! Guess what!
Blood was also taught on that day! Hmmmmmmm One man later told me that
my book SABBATH: THE LIGHT IS MESSIAH had changed his life. For two
years he and his family had enjoyed the spirit of the sabbath and he
wanted to thank me for that little book. It's nice to hear that from
time to time. The five teachings on Saturday were: Randy Felton: Why
We Don't Understand the Bible, "Anti-Semitism and the Church (A
History), and "The Washing of Water With the Word". Dr. Doug Wheeler
taught on "Face to Face" and "The Law of the Tzit-Tzit". Now you have
to understand, we are country simple folks in Kansas and Oklahoma and
Texas, okay? What I like about our kind of teaching is the homeiness
of the teaching in plain language without all the hype of big words,
and complicated rabbit trails. So, the two teachers arrived in blue
jeans (and jackets) and started teaching. I have never seen two men
who prayed as much over their students in one day as these men did. It
was very uplifting. 

Tapes? The tapes are available for $20 + $3 shipping from Potter's
Clay Ministries at pottersclay@mail.icnet.net (listed on their website
at http://ww.haydid.org/potter.htm) and from Mended Wings (listed on
their website at http://www.haydid.org/wings.htm) The lessons also
need to be transcribed to share in books, articles and on the website,
so if you are interested in volunteering to help with this kind of
projects, we have lots of tapes waiting for fingers to type them. Just
contact us at http://www.haydid.org or shalom@haydid.org Remember that
this is an all volunteer association...honest! Someone wrote me a
while back and accused us of lieing about that! Nope! We really DON'T
receive a salary and rarely compensation for the work that the Lord
has asked us to do. Our website is unlike others, in that its suppose
to be 5 megs of space, right? Well, the internet providers are friends
of ours and we are over 28 megs right now! Its a REAL Learning Center,
okay? Everything that you see there, is for you to copy off FREE and
use as you need with your study group or homegroup. We know that we
know that we know, HE is coming back soon, and there is much to teach,
okay? So we ask you to come to the well and study! No strings
attached! All we ask is that you include HaY'Did in your prayer list,
okay? And IF HE speaks to your heart to do something, then do it!
That's all! Just be obedient to HIM, okay? I will tell you that the
FREE magazine offer is going to be discontinued on February 14, 1998.
We have mailed out over 2000 copies and the postage has been over
$2000. Since everyone who comes to our website can copy off so much,
we feel that the magazine will not be sent out free any longer. Only
the membership of the Learning Center will receive this magazine on a
quarterly basis. If you would like to become a member, then please
visit our website for that information. You may also order materials
from our catalog on the website at any time. We have only 2 copies of
PAUL THE JEWISH THEOLOGIAN by Dr. Brad Young left at this time. We do
have several copies of JESUS THE JEWISH THEOLOGIAN left. Both books
need to be on your bookshelves. We do accept credit cards and ship
overseas.
