by Dr. Howard Morgan Introduction to “Of Whom do the Prophets Speak” A word to our Jewish friends: This book is not about “converting Jews to Christianity.” This book is not about changing your religion, rejecting beloved traditions or altering any part of your cultural identity as a Jew. It does not teach that Jews must leave their Synagogues, join a Church and [...]

Wow fall is full of activity isn’t it? First we get ready for the new school year. Then new sport activities. Our family was about football, first grade through college. Week days were practice, weekend were games. Our teams were traveling teams, both players and cheerleaders, starting at first grade. Between the kid’s games and the parent participation at the snack shacks or [...]
“Worship God in the splendor (beauty) of His holiness, tremble before Him all the earth”. Psalm 96:6 (NIV) Worship is not a new concept to the body of believers. All creation was fashioned and designed to worship the One who is greater than the believer and worthy of their praise and adoration. Our heavenly Father has always desired to have an intimate relationship with [...]
BOOK SYNOPSIS “The Beauty of Worship, In the Presence of the King” reveals the various aspects of worshiping God our Heavenly Father in the beauty of His holiness. When we spend time worshiping and praising God, we will be amazed at what happens. There is power in praise and worship through prophetic dance and song as it is offered to the throne of [...]
By Valerie van den Bergh By the rivers of Babylon, There we sat, sat and wept, as we thought of Zion. There on the poplars, we hung our lyres, for our captors asked us there for songs, our tormentors, for amusement: "Sing us one of the songs of Zion." How can we sing a song [...]
Contributor: Anonymous Where are the hunters and what do they look like? Last month, we looked at why God needed the hunters, and why God would employ hunters to get His people home to Eretz Israel. In a Jerusalem Post Op-ed dated December 8th, Arno Klarsfeld puts it this way: “We have learned from the past that massive Aliyah only occurs in times [...]
Contributor: Anonymous Kristallnacht, the “Night of Broken Glass,” November 9th, 1938, was a night that marked widespread violence against German and Austrian synagogues, Jewish businesses, and Jews, themselves. Nearly 100 Jews were killed, and several thousand were sent to concentration camps. It marked the “beginning of the end” for Jews in Germany. Sixty-five years later, anti-Semitism is rising again in the world. It [...]
Anonymous Contributor In the previous two articles we tackled the questions: “Why the hunters”, “What do the hunters look like” and “Where are they?” This month we’ll examine what needs to be done now that we know the “why, who and where.” Before we get to the “what” and the “how” I’d like to address a few foundational issues that will greatly affect [...]
by Lou Vasquez hayah: to be, become, come to pass, exist Original Word: הָיָה Part of Speech: verb Transliteration: hayah Phonetic Spelling: (haw-yah) Short Definition: to be, to exist https://biblehub.com/hebrew/1961.htm Let’s look at the reference in the Blue Letter Bible, (Strong’s Definitions Legend) הָיָה hâyâh, haw-yaw; a primitive root (compare H1933); to exist, i.e. be or become, come to pass (always emphatic, and [...]
by Valerie van den Bergh (A Jewish Believer) If you read Confucius, you will gain an understanding of China, as his philosophy permeates the very fabric of that society. Great novelists like Dostoevsky and Tolstoy will teach you much about the events that impacted and shaped Russia. Victorian England is seen through the eyes of Charles Dickens, Jane Austen, and Thomas Hardy. We [...]
by Lukas Wallace ONE EVENING, a little over a week ago, I was spending time in prayer, asking the Lord to speak to me. I’ve wanted to hear His voice so desperately, lately. Sometimes, I have the patience to wait and hear His voice clearly, but other times I’m distracted by concerns or quicker fixes. This night was a good night for me. [...]
by David Blalock During my trip to Israel this summer, my first of what I hope will turn into many, I experienced the reality of God’s plan for the Jewish people in many different ways. One of the most significant ways came as I observed how tenaciously they clung to their religion. Seeing the orthodox Jews dressed up and keeping the law day [...]
aman: to confirm, support Original Word: אָמַן Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: aman Phonetic Spelling: (aw-man’) Short Definition: believe http://biblehub.com/hebrew/539.htm The Hebrew word pronounced ‘aman’ is the word for believe. It is the root word for our previous word ‘emet’. So we can say that truth(emet) comes from belief(aman). But how does belief bring us truth? Let’s look at a breakdown of the [...]
by Joan Masterson My heart is always to make clear the difference between rabbinic tradition and Biblical expression. However, unless it conflicts with the Bible, not all tradition is bad and we can learn from it. So, let’s not throw the baby out with the bathwater as we strive to know how God intends for us to understand His ways, His heart, and, [...]
by Lou Vasquez Strong’s Concordance emeth: firmness, faithfulness, truth Original Word: אֱמֶת Part of Speech: noun feminine; adverb Transliteration: emeth Phonetic Spelling: (eh’-meth) Short Definition: truth http://biblehub.com/hebrew/571.htm If we look at the Hebrew Aleph-Bayt (Alphabet), we can see that the letters of the word ’emet’ (אֱמֶת) fall at the very beginning, the middle and the very end of the list letters. אבגדהוזחטיכלמנסעפצקרשת The [...]
by David Lazarus I want to talk about the relationship between the Church and Israel; how is it that we got to a situation today where we are so separate from one another, and what can we do to heal and restore it. I’m going to talk about history from the Early Church, things that were happening, and mistakes that were made. I [...]
by Joan Masterson How do we pray for Israel? People ask me this everywhere I go. I find however as the conversations continue some are really asking, “What do we pray for Israel?” and others are asking how. What we pray for Israel can be answered by the many publications that give readers pertinent information about the political and material needs of the [...]
by Jack Hayford The following teaching is taken from the transcripts of the “Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem” conference. They have been edited down for this publication. Why we stand with Israel very well could be described as, we start with one. There would be no book that reads to us, “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth,” if [...]
by James Goll The following teaching is from the Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem conference. They have been edited down for this publication. Turn in your Bible to Zechariah 12. I am going to read a few verses starting in chapter 12:10, and I will read through chapter 13:1: “I will pour out upon the house of David and the inhabitants of [...]
by Lars Enarson [This message was delivered at the Morningstar Ministries Advanced Prophetic Equipping Conference. We would like to thank Lars Enarson and Watchman International for sending us the transcript. We believe that God is going to call you here to intercede as watchmen on the walls of Jerusalem in a new fresh way after this morning – so let’s ask the Lord [...]
by Valerie van den Bergh And it happened after these things that God tested Abraham and said to him, “Abraham,” and he replied, “Here I am.” And He said, “Please take your son, your only one, whom you love – Isaac – and go to the land of Moriah; bring him up there as an offering upon one of the mountains which I [...]
by Joan Masterson The following question was given to me by a Pastor. I felt it might be one on many believers’ minds. The following are responses to address it. The question is, “How do we today make practical application “to the Jew first?” What does “to the Jew first” look like? Why should we care about “to the Jew first”? “To the [...]
by Pastor John Kilpatrick I believe there are a lot of people who really love the Lord, but have a lack of teaching in regard to certain subjects. It causes them to have some error in their life. I could never thank the Lord enough for having a mentor in my life as a young teenage boy. One of the things he imparted [...]
by Sid Roth Message delivered at Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship It’s a scripture that we’re all familiar with – a Jewish man by the name of Peter, the fisherman, quoted it in Acts 2. Let’s turn to what he quoted from – Joel 2:28: “And it shall come to pass afterward that I will pour out my spirit on all flesh. Your sons [...]
by Joan Masterson Years ago, the Blood was central to all we prayed. Pleading the Blood was a way of life. I am not sure how that understanding moved from the forefront of our focus. I found as I researched, many authors pointed back to the great revivals and the importance of the Blood. Billye Brim’s book, “The Blood and the Glory”, is [...]
by Valerie van den Bergh Passover, Shavu’ot, Succot – appointments with the LORD God of Israel. Yeshua smiled as He remembered celebrations of the past, the far distant past. His memories rested on Succot, the Festival of Booths. It was this season His people were now celebrating. Zman simchatenu – the season of our rejoicing, the Rabbis called it. Yes, He thought. This [...]
by Valerie van den Bergh (Including Holiday Recipes and Games) The battle was raging. Sword struck shield. Sword struck sword. My band of warriors and I were tired and did not know how long we could hold on. I, Judah Maccabee, must be strong, and encourage my comrades to continue the fight. We were so close to defeating the evil Antiochus. I and [...]

By Lynne Plunkett One of Judaism’s many wonderful features is that it has a blessing for just about everything. No matter how mundane the task, God’s presence and sovereignty are acknowledged – Baruch atah Adonai, Eloheinu melech ha olam… (fill in the blank). Which brings me to my carrots. You see, I do not know if there is a blessing for carrots. If [...]
My dear friend Devorah has gone on to be the Lord. However, I thank God for giving me this wonderful friend full of wisdom and talent if only for a short season. Besides being a teacher, an intercessor with a gift of prophecy she was an amazing artist. Here is one of my favorite pictures. It is my joy to share this picture [...]
This reflection is written by my dearest friend Lauri, the Illustrator for my children’s books. She is an Intercessor, artist, musician worshiper, Reverend, and a leader of Aglow International along with her ministry. By Lauri Wong It's such a delight when God gives us pictures of what He is doing in our lives. Several years ago, God led a Jewish gentleman from our [...]
(God is in the Details) by Lynne Plunkett As a new believer, I used to think you only prayed to God for the “big stuff”, but you didn’t bother Him with the minutiae of day-to-day life. He was, after all, Creator of the Universe, and could not possibly be interested in, say, whether I had a flat tire, or it rained during a [...]
By Devorah To begin, I must share some of my own story so that you can understand the “murky waters” that I had to navigate to gain clarity about Jewish Evangelism. Growing up in an Orthodox Jewish Ghetto in NY, one does not easily embrace new ideas about Judaism. That being said, there is an increasing curiosity and hunger amongst the Orthodox for [...]
by Devorah Many of you, like myself, have had the pleasure (she says with a snicker) of sharing Yeshua with “brick walls” (code for family) ha! After many years of rejection, I can tell you that every once in a while there is one precious soul who has been prepared to receive the good news with joy! In the past 6 months, I [...]
By Devorah Growing up in NY with extended family, Shabbat represented a time when everything stopped! Of course, we had to work feverishly to prepare for it beginning on Wednesday and then begin the cycle again every week. Wednesday, you would begin to clean the house. On Thursday you would shop so that all the food was fresh and ready to be prepared [...]
by Devorah Something exciting happens when New Covenant Saints embrace Shabbat. In this article, I will introduce you to Galina. Some years ago I was visiting a small Messianic ministry and met a very vivacious Russian woman and her daughter. At that time they were living with a Church family. Galina had a great desire to discover her Jewish roots. In Russia, she [...]
by Joan Masterson It was the first of Cheshvan 5772 Rosh Chodesh. Oct 29, 2011 on the Gregorian calendar. A small group of us had gathered at 9:30 am to honor Rosh Chodesh. For those of you unfamiliar with the term Rosh Chodesh, it is an appointed time on God’s calendar at the beginning of each of the Hebraic months. It is in [...]
By Joan Masterson Rosh Chodesh is fast becoming my most precious time to look forward to each month. God continues to minister truth and strength as we meet at His appointed time. The Red Hen is a strange title don’t you think? Yes, but wait till you see what the Lord is saying. Our Church went on a 21-day fast to deal with [...]
There is much teaching today throughout the body on First Fruits and most is taught in conjunction with our giving to the Lord. However I want to share my thoughts about why God instituted first fruits from the perspective that everything He laid out in His word and especially in His Feasts was to point us to the revelation of His heart His [...]
In this Jot I am trusting Holy Spirit to give insight to read between the lines of the first few paragraphs. This ministry is not positioned to be a political voice. However I am called to speak spiritual awareness of the times we are living. Therefore, I have chosen my words very carefully. Recently I had the privilege of being a guest at a [...]
