Faith comes from hearing the word of God.
This does not mean merely hearing audibly but rather a hearing within; a revelation; an understanding that goes deep into your heart, into your innermost being.
Those who only read or hear biblical truth audibly without experiencing its penetrating life changing power can easily be led astray into unbelief by the very strong, convincing secular humanistic mindset that inundates us daily.
James whose Hebrew name was Yakov, the brother of Yeshua, warns us of this so called wisdom and explains where it comes from.

Messianic Jewish Perspectives
I have had the privilege and honor to help plant Messianic Jewish Synagogues in Russia and Central Asia. I have also been blessed to travel to many Messianic Jewish Synagogues throughout the world over the past 30 years helping them with the formidable task of effectively communicating the message that our Messiah has come to their respective local Jewish communities. In my travels and through my  experiences I believe I have sensed a few things that need to be done at this time through and within The Messianic …

When Jewish people come to faith in the promised Messiah of Israel are they still Jewish?  How can they not be?  It is absolutely AMAZING than anyone would think that a Jew who follows his own King – Yeshua, the King of the Jews that he is no longer Jewish!  That’s like saying an Irishman who celebrates St. Patty’s day is no longer Irish!
First of all Yeshua was Jewish or he could not be the Messiah.  All the apostles were Jewish. And in the beginning all the disciples of Yeshua …

The message of salvation has the power to transform lives and change the world. With certainty the enemy of our souls will do whatever he can to prevent the proclamation of the word of God. However the greatest enemy of the spreading of the truth is found within our own hearts. We have become lukewarm at best, mostly cold as ice!  That sounds harsh. But is it true?
This must change. It will. It must begin with you and me. Out of the four major spiritual disciplines sharing our faith with …

You have entered through The Gates of Zion onto the ancient Silk Road to the cities of…
CENTRAL ASIA
Isaiah the prophet proclaimed:
The LORD has made bare His holy arm In the eyes of all the nations; And all the ends of the earth shall see The salvation of our God. (Isaiah 52:10)
Central Asia is one of the “ends of the earth”.
An historical fact that supports the reliability of the biblical record concerns the scattering of the Jewish people to the four corners of the earth. One of the primary goals …

The Jewish Taxi Driver

I (Maggie) am a passionate radical believer who likes to hang on God’s every word – because they are spirit and life to me and I love to read what He says and try it out in real life.

Some time ago I came across the verse where God promises to bless all who bless Abraham and I realised that this verse had not had any significant impact on me before. So why not?  I concluded – I should be blessing the Jewish people. Please God, I …

The Heart Cry of God to the Church

There has been much interest lately in people having a purpose filled life.  Most important is the purpose of God.

Isaiah 46:10 – “I make known the end from the beginning,   from ancient times, what is still to come. I say: My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please.” 

The church today is thankfully and finally trying to discern God’s purpose on the earth instead of practicing a religion that  only satisfies the soul but does not advance the Kingdom …

It could be the greatest misunderstanding in history. There is no one more misunderstood among so many, than Jesus is, among his own people, the Jews. Ask 10 Jews whom he is and you will get 11 different answers. One thing is for sure: Believing in Jesus for Jews is a no-no – Jews, if they are truly Jewish cannot believe in Jesus – to do so would be departing from the Jewish faith and disowning your ancient heritage. But why are we so convinced Jesus is not for us? …

Making Sense of Terrorism

The attacks on NYC and Wash DC left many searching for answers. Why? The question looms over our minds, “Why did God allow this to happen?” What did the victims do to deserve this? Why America? Why now? Questions of this type are especially nothing new to Jewish people. We have been asking such questions throughout our turbulent history. The age-old question of why a beneficent and loving God allows evil has baffled philosophers and religious leaders for ages. There may be no better time than …

In an honest and normal world, no-one would have been able to get away with as much terror, lynching, bloodshed and lying as the Hizb’allah and other Muslim terrorists have done had it not been for widespread anti-Semitism, especially among today’s journalists, and for Muslim-terror fearful media chiefs.
Here the Muslim terrorists, in accordance with their profession, target mainly the innocents sitting in planes or on buses, at their desks in the New York City trade towers, at dinner in their restaurants or, as Israel has just experienced, while just living …
