Some members of Congregation Beth Messiah [ www.cbmhouston.org ] began working together to create lap quilts to be a blessing to Israeli widows, orphans, and Holocaust survivors. The quilts will be sent to Israel in October through IBF (Israel Benevolence Fund).
Sign-up was limited to the first 25 ladies. Several ladies brought their own sewing machines. Others brought an iron and ironing board and assisted with ironing the block pieces.
Yet another week has gone by and God is doing more signs and wonders! He loves for His Son’s name to be glorified among both Jewish person and Arab!
S* says, “I came home from a leader’s meeting and the Holy Spirit spoke to me “Dimona” (a city 20 minutes southeast from Beer Sheva). Later that day, I went to the grocery store and the Holy Spirit spoke to me again with urgency, “DIMONA!” So I told my wife what I heard, jumped in the car, and traveled to Dimona that evening.
Dimona Israel
When I got to the shopping center in Dimona, the Holy Spirit led me to the sports store and gave a word of knowledge about a neck problem. There were four people in the store and I asked who had a neck problem. One of the men said he had a work accident a couple months ago. An object had fallen onto his neck, and he has been in pain since. I prayed for his neck and Yeshua healed it! Everyone in the store was watching this, and they were amazed to see it. ! I handed him a New Covenant. (The New Covenants I hand out have my name and phone number written in them.)
The Holy Spirit then led me to the grocery store as I bought a couple snacks. In the grocery store check-out line the Holy Spirit spoke to me about a shoulder and knee problem. I asked the Israeli man in front of me about these problems, and he responded with such shock that it was funny! So after he calmed down, I told him that I could pray for him concerning these things at his car. Before he finished checking out the Holy Spirit spoke to me that his wife has chronic headache problems. I asked her about this, and both of them started shouting, “Where did you fall from?” I went to the car and prayed for them and Yeshua healed them right there of all their problems! They took a New Covenant. The next day they called me up, and and he put his brother on the phone. The Holy Spirit also gave me prophetic words for the brother, which were right on. This week they invited us to their house to eat and discuss these things. He already started reading the New Testament and asked me to explain it to him.
Dimona residents
After this the Holy Spirit spoke to me to go to the local pub. I went and only the workers were there since it was early. They asked me why I had come to Dimona to this pub. I told them “God sent me” and gave them a few healing testimonies. One worker asked if I could pray for his back, and after prayer it was healed! The owner of the restaurant then asked me to pray for his neck which had a pulled muscle. He also was healed. Then the bartender girl asked me to pray for her, and she too was healed, and also the Holy Spirit gave me many prophetic words for her and she started crying. After this they all gladly received New Covenants. The bar tender gave me her phone number and told me she wanted to know more! There was also a Bedouin watching this whole scenario, and he also asked for a New Testament and gave me his phone number. (What a Bedouin Muslim is doing in a pub is beyond me; they’re not supposed to drink any alcohol!)
Praise God for His divine appointments and amazing miracles!
PLEASE PRAY FOR THESE PEOPLE, as sometimes there are people who are amazingly healed, but later become uninterested. We need real breakthrough in following up these encounters with continuing fellowship and discipleship relationships.
Specifically pray for a new congregation plant among Israeli Jews in Dimona (which doesn’t yet have a congregation).
