If resistance and obstacles are markers to spiritual defiance, then this episode takes the case. It has taken HOURS to get this podcast up and running again.Please consider if that gives this message more credence. If so, what's next in your life?
The natural/supernatural journey is one only God can initiate. It is our decision to follow Him. Comfort My People became a ministry along this journey to inform Christians about the Israel connection from the Biblical perspective, bringing inspiration and provoking determination to follow Jesus closely on the journey He has for you.
Comfort My People is a direct quote from Isaiah 40:1. It is a command from God, yet widely ignored for centuries. Out of the ignorance came a doctrine that is known as Replacement Theology. Today many call it Fulfillment Theology which negates the Jewish presence in the Church. For a Jew to follow Jesus is to renounce their identity as Jews.It has caused untold damage since the early church faded into history, not only for the Jews, but for the spiritual health of the church.Please visit our website to become more familiar with the purpose of our ministry. It is time to counter Satan's successes and join Jesus in His call to comfort His people.
This episode is unintentionally out of sequence. You will hear an account of the events of 9/11/2001 on Paul's journey. It is an illustration of how God can turn an unexpected disaster into a life-giving encounter.It can happen to any of us on our Journey from Jacob. Be prepared.
Jacob comes to a crossroads that will affect not only his future, but his family and ultimately all mankind. His situation is one that is common to us all, in varying intensity--the moment when we face the consequences of our choices and our upbringing. We approach the intersection of the divinity and the humanity within the soul of man. It becomes a moment of opportunity to be real with God and decide whether to avoid or confront the identity that has befallen me or pursue the one that is awaiting me even if it seems so foreign.
Jacob has traveled on a long and difficult road to this point. Is this an illustration of "what we must do to be saved?" Or was this just another Old Testament story with little significance today.Perhaps there is much more significance and a lesson in resilience built into this episode for all. of us.
God wrestled Jacob through the darkness and aloneness of the night and Jacob came out a winner. His new name, Israel, became his new identity. He no longer needed to strive alone, but to serve beside the One who loves Him and gave His life for Him. To make this story yours, allow God access to your soul. That is when your journey takes on meaning and significance. Your new identity becomes a source of life for others.There is no need to travel your journey alone.
