Shalom & Blessings;
Ellen and I were struck with a heavy blow Tuesday. First, we would like to share a praise report. We were originally given an appointment for the Swallow Clinic for July 9th. It was disappointing to have to wait so long but we were grateful that our health provider agreed to pay for the treatment and that we got all the proper approval forms. Then the previous Sunday we got a call that a spot opened up and our appointment was moved up to Tuesday May 26th; To God be the glory! Now the heavy blow part!
You know you are old when the doctor is younger than you, He was probably in his late twenties and his assistant the same or younger. He was very kind and apologetic when he broke the news to us; if left unattended there could be serious complications because of my lack of an epiglottis. As suspected, food and water were going into my lungs which was the cause of my pneumonia; his recommendation, having a feeding tube inserted into my stomach. We have not totally come to terms with that yet we are still praying about it, but failing a miracle, and with God's approval this is the route we will take. Please keep us in prayer.
What I want to share now some may find controversial, even offensive. It's not my intention to offend, but just to present the truth as I see it: The first and longest manifestation of the anti-Christ is the religion of Judaism. Sadly Judaism, as it has developed through the ages, is based on an acknowledged refusal to accept Yeshua as the Messiah and especially not as God, while still believing in a messiah yet to come. More importantly it rejects the claim of Yeshua to be the Son of God. "Who is the liar? It is whoever denies that Yeshua is the Messiah. Such a person is the antichrist—denying the Father and the Son." (1 John 2:22); "but every spirit that does not acknowledge Yeshua is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world." (1 John 4:3). I am sharing this because I believe anyone converting to Judaism may in essence be accepting upon themselves the mark of the beast (the anti-Christ). Messianic Judaism is the real and only true continuation of the relationship with God taught in the Hebrew Scriptures.
Hi Ellen here…Well you read our news and there has to be some drastic changes in Jack's eating skills and my cooking skills…help us Lord!!! But all our news is not bad because my husband is alive and continues to be cancer free…haSatan is trying but he is already defeated and we are victorious in Yeshua. Please pray with me that God will direct all liquids and pureed solids to exactly where they need to go without aspiration, in the name of Yeshua! Just to mention how adoring, intimate and humorous our God is…when I awoke this morning I opened my daily Bible program with the following Scripture, "Therefore, I tell you, don't worry about your life-what you will eat or drink; or about your body-what you will wear. Isn't life more than food and the body more than clothing? (Matt. 6:25).
I have an additional request…we have been blessed here in Israel with a Messianic channel in Hebrew! God TV signed a contract with Israeli cable company HOT. There is now 24 hours a day, 7 days a week of Messianic teaching and music…please pray for many Israelis to tune in and be SAVED!
