• 00:48 SHALOM AND WELCOME TO ZOLA LEVITT PRESENTS.
• 00:51 I'M SANDRA AND I AM SO BLESSED TO BE PART OF THIS SERIES
• 00:54 ON THE PSALMS OF ASCENT... PSALMS 120 THROUGH 134.
• 00:58 ON THIS PROGRAM WE SEE GOD'S REDEMPTION AND HIS MIGHTY MERCY.
• 01:03 DR. JEFFREY SEIF WILL BE DOING TEACHING IN ISRAEL ON LOCATION.
• 01:08 MARTY GOETZ WILL JOIN US LATER FOR WONDERFUL MUSIC,
• 01:11 INSPIRING MUSIC,
• 01:13 UPLIFTING MUSIC.
• 01:15 AND AS THEY SAY,
• 01:16 "WE'RE OFF TO ISRAEL...
• 01:17 PSALM 130 AND 131.
• 01:22 IN THE DARKEST HOUR OF THE DARKEST DAY
• 01:25 THE WARMTH OF THE SUN SEEMS LOST FOREVER.
• 01:29 FRIENDS ARE GONE...
• 01:31 HOPE IS GONE...
• 01:33 BUT A STILL SMALL VOICE YET REMAINS.
• 01:37 "OUT OF THE DEPTHS HAVE I CRIED UNTIL THEE O LORD."
• 01:41 "HEAR MY VOICE"
• 01:43 "LET THINE EARS BE ATTENTIVE TO THE VOICE OF ISRAEL"
• 01:47 AND THE SUN RETURNS.
• 01:50 WITH THE LORD...THERE IS MERCY.
• 01:53 WITH HIM...THERE IS REDEMPTION.
• 01:56 THE LORD WILL REDEEM YOU.
• 02:04 DIFFERENT THINGS CAN BRING
• 02:05 PEOPLE DOWN IN LIFE...
• 02:07 CAN CAUSE DISCOURAGEMENT,
• 02:09 DESPAIR, DISORIENTATION,
• 02:12 DECAY, PAIN...
• 02:15 IT CAN BE BECAUSE OF CIRCUMSTANCES THAT BESET THE PERSON...
• 02:19 IT CAN BE BECAUSE OF SINS THAT THE PERSON IS FOREVER REMINDED OF.
• 02:25 AND WITH THE SIN COMES A SENSE OF GUILT WHICH SAYS
• 02:29 "I DID SOMETHING WRONG"
• 02:31 AND SHAME WHICH SAYS
• 02:33 "THAT I AM SOMETHING WRONG"
• 02:34 DEPENDING ON THE NATURE OF THE INFRACTION.
• 02:38 THE REASON WHY I MENTION THAT IS, BURDENED BY VARIOUS CARES
• 02:44 ISRAELITES HAVE BEEN COMING TO THIS PLACE FOR YEARS.
• 02:49 THIS PLACE IMMEDIATE BEHIND ME IS THE WESTERN WALL...
• 02:53 THE CLOSEST PLACE WHERE HEBREWS CAN GET TO THE TEMPLE
• 02:56 THAT ONCE STOOD UPON THAT MOUNTAIN RIGHT ATOP.
• 03:00 RIGHT NOW THERE'S AN ISLAMIC SHRINE THERE.
• 03:02 THERE'S NO BIBLICAL BASIS FOR ITS BEING THERE.
• 03:05 ONCE UPON A TIME PLACED THERE WAS THIS SANCTUARY.
• 03:09 PEOPLE CAME AND THEY PRAYED THERE
• 03:11 AND THEY CAME AND THEY BROUGHT SACRIFICES THERE AS WELL.
• 03:14 AND WHY?
• 03:16 BECAUSE THERE WAS A HOUSE THAT WAS SET UP TO DEAL WITH THE HUMAN PROBLEM...
• 03:19 ONE PARTICULAR PROBLEM
• 03:21 A PROBLEM CALLED "SIN".
• 03:24 I MENTION THIS BECAUSE HERE IN THE PSALMS OF ASCENT
• 03:27 A VOICE IS GIVEN TO PILGRIMS MAKING THEIR WAY TO JERUSALEM ON ACCOUNT OF SIN,
• 03:33 WANTING TO ATTEND TO THAT WHICH BURDENS US WITHIN.
• 03:38 THERE ARE DIFFERENT THINGS PEOPLE CAN DO TO TRY AND GET RID OF THE PAIN OF SIN...
• 03:42 SOME DRINK IT AWAY...
• 03:44 DIFFERENT VICES TO TRY AND SNUFF OUT THAT PERENNIAL DISCOMFORT.
• 03:48 BUT THE WAY SOME PEOPLE CHOOSE TO GET RID OF THAT
• 03:51 IS THEY DEAL WITH IT HEAD ON AND THEY COME TO GOD AND THEY ASK FOR FORGIVENESS.
• 03:57 AND WHAT DO THEY DISCOVER?
• 03:58 WELL THE PSALMIST DISCOVERED
• 04:02 AND HE GIVES VOICE TO IT IN CHAPTER 130, HE SAYS,
• 04:10 THE POINT OF COURSE THERE IS THAT NOBODY IS PERFECT.
• 04:13 AND SO HE GOES ON TO SAY IN VERSE 4,
• 04:23 TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS PEOPLE COME HERE TO FIND FORGIVENESS
• 04:28 AND THEY'RE ENCOURAGED IN VERSE 7 AND ON
• 04:31 THE PSALMIST SAYS,
• 04:51 SOMETIMES WE CAN FEEL SO VERY BAD, SO VERY DOWNTRODDEN
• 04:57 AND WE FORGET THAT WITH GOD THERE IS IN FACT MERCY.
• 05:01 HE THEN GOES ON TO SAY,
• 05:12 BIBLE READERS ARE BECKONED TO UNDERSTAND WHEN THEY MAKE THEIR WAY TO JERUSALEM ON A PILGRIMAGE
• 05:17 THAT THEY CAN FIND GOD THERE
• 05:19 AND A GOD WHO ISN'T INCLINED TO MARK INIQUITIES,TO HOLD EVERYTHING AGAINST US...
• 05:26 THAT THE SCORE IS INDELIBLY MARKED AGAINST US.
• 05:30 HE'S NOT INCLINED TO DO THAT.
• 05:32 SIMILARLY THEY'RE ENCOURAGED TO EXPERIENCE A GOD WHO IS SAID TO COME WITH MERCY...WITH "CHESED".
• 05:41 AND BEYOND THAT THERE'S THE REMINDER THAT WITH HIM THERE'S PLENTEOUS REDEMPTION.
• 05:46 REDEMPTION IS AN INTERESTING CONCEPT.
• 05:48 IT MEANS TO BUY BACK FROM SLAVERY.
• 05:51 THE CHAINS OF SIN CAN WEIGH AND DRAG INDIVIDUALS A CERTAIN WAY
• 05:57 BUT GOD CAN REDEEM FROM THAT.
• 06:00 THERE'S A WONDERFUL EXHORTATION IN VERSE 8. HE SAYS,
• 06:17 THEY CAME HERE FROM ALL OVER THE ROMAN WORLD IN FACT
• 06:22 IN YESHUA'S DAY, IN JESUS' DAY
• 06:24 BECAUSE JEWS WERE SCATTERED ROUND ABOUT
• 06:26 AND THE COMPLIANT WOULD MAKE A PILGRIMAGE TO JERUSALEM
• 06:30 IN ORDER TO EXPERIENCE A GOD IN A SPECIAL WAY
• 06:33 IN ORDER TO HAVE THEIR PROBLEMS IN LIFE AMELIORATED, IMPROVED.
• 06:39 I WANT YOU TO KNOW AS I'M SPEAKING TO YOU FROM HERE
• 06:43 THAT THE PLACE IS OPEN TO RECEIVE YOU,
• 06:45 THAT STILL PEOPLE COME TO THE KOTEL AND THEY PUT THEIR PRAYERS IN THE WALL.
• 06:50 I WANT YOU TO KNOW, HOWEVER, THAT TO GET GOD'S ATTENTION YOU NEEDN'T DO THAT.
• 06:56 THOUGH PERSONALLY I THINK YOU'D BE BLESSED TO MAKE A PILGRIMAGE TO ISRAEL
• 06:59 AND THAT'S WHAT THE PSALM OF ASCENT ADDRESSES.
• 07:02 THOUGH I BELIEVE YOU'D BE BLESSED TO DO THAT
• 07:04 I WANT YOU TO KNOW, YOU NEEDN'T JUST DO THAT
• 07:06 BECAUSE THE TRUTH IS YOU CAN CALL UPON THE LORD WHEREVER YOU ARE.
• 07:11 THE WORD "JESUS" IS JUST AN ENGLISH WAY OF SAYING "YESHUA"
• 07:18 AND THE VERB "YESHUA" MEANS
• 07:20 "TO SAVE", "TO DELIVER"
• 07:22 OR "TO REDEEM".
• 07:24 AND NOTED IN HIS NAME IS WHAT'S PROMISED HERE IN THE TEXT.
• 07:30 AGAIN, YOU CAN, WHEREVER YOU ARE, CALL UPON HIM.
• 07:35 AND DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS?
• 07:36 HE WILL ANSWER YOU.
• 07:38 YOU CAN RECEIVE THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS, THE NEWNESS OF LIFE
• 07:41 AND EXPERIENCE THE FRESH REJUVENATION THAT COMES BY VIRTUE OF YOUR SO DOING.
• 07:52 SHALOM, I'M MYLES WEISS.
• 07:53 AND I'M KATHARINE WEISS.
• 07:55 WE KNOW YOU ARE
• 07:56 BEING BLESSED BY
• 07:56 DR. JEFFREY SEIF'S
• 07:57 GREAT TEACHING ON THE PSALMS OF ASCENT
• 07:59 AND WE WANT TO TELL YOU ABOUT
• 08:01 OUR NEW SERIES COMING UP CALLED
• 08:02 "THE BOOK OF RUTH: YOU'RE PEOPLE SHALL BE MY PEOPLE".
• 08:05 IT'S GOING TO BE HERE SOON ON ZOLA LEVITT PRESENTS.
• 08:07 MYLES AND I HAD THE PRIVILEGE TO BE IN ISRAEL
• 08:10 DURING THE TIME OF SHAVUOT PENTECOST
• 08:13 TO SHARE SOME OF THE WONDERFUL INSIGHTS
• 08:14 REGARDING THE GREAT WOMAN OF GOD.
• 08:16 IT'S A GREAT STORY OF REDEMPTION AND LOVE FOR ALL...
• 08:19 YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS IT.
• 08:21 AND NOW BACK TO SANDRA AND JEFF.
• 08:25 JEFF IS SO RIGHT, DIFFERENT THINGS CAN BRING US DOWN.
• 08:29 I LOVE THE PICTURE OF THE PEOPLE AT THE WESTERN WALL PRAYING,
• 08:33 PUTTING NOTES IN THE WESTERN WALL,
• 08:35 HOPING, PRAYING THAT GOD HEARS WHAT'S GOING ON IN OUR LIVES.
• 08:40 PSALM 130, VERSE 7, I THINK SAYS IT ALL WELL.
• 08:50 NOT JUST FOR ISRAEL BUT ALSO FOR US.
• 08:53 BACK TO ISRAEL AND PSALM 131.
• 08:59 THE LOVE OF A MOTHER KNOWS NO BOUNDARIES.
• 09:02 AND THE CHILD NOW WEANED FROM ITS MOTHER
• 09:06 HAS DISCOVERED A NEW WORLD.
• 09:09 THE COLORS ARE ALLURING.
• 09:11 THE SHAPES SO INTRIGUING,
• 09:14 THEY COULD TAKE A LIFETIME TO TASTE THEM ALL.
• 09:17 BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY THERE'S NO GREATER COMFORT IN ALL THE WORLD
• 09:23 THAN THAT FOUND IN THE ARMS OF MOTHER.
• 09:27 "MY SOUL IS EVEN AS A WEANED CHILD" SAYS THE PSALMIST.
• 09:32 "LET ISRAEL HOPE IN THE LORD FROM HENCEFORTH AND FOREVER."
• 09:39 COMFORT
• 09:41 IN SO MANY WAYS
• 09:42 IT'S IN SUCH HIGH DEMAND
• 09:44 AND SHORT SUPPLY THESE DAYS.
• 09:47 TO BE SURE, WHEN PILGRIMS MADE THEIR WAY TO JERUSALEM
• 09:50 THEY WERE LOOKING FOR COMFORT AMONG OTHER THINGS.
• 09:53 AND THE REASON WHY I SAY "AMONG OTHER THINGS"
• 09:55 IS THERE'S SUCH A WIDE RANGE OF INTERESTS AND EMOTIONS IN THE PSALMS IN GENERAL
• 10:01 AND IN THE PSALMS OF ASCENT IN PARTICULAR.
• 10:04 WE'RE LOOKING AT PSALM 131 NOW.
• 10:06 IN THE PSALM BEFORE IT
• 10:08 THERE THE ISSUE WAS DEALING WITH GUILT AND SHAME ASSOCIATED WITH TRANSGRESSION
• 10:14 AND THE ATTENDANT PERSONAL DISCOMFORTS.
• 10:17 IN THE PSALM AFTER THAT,
• 10:19 THE PSALMIST IS TALKING ABOUT,
• 10:20 "HE'S NOT GOING TO GO INTO HIS HOUSE UNTIL GOD HAS A PLACE FOR HIM."
• 10:26 THERE'S A SENSE IN WHICH WE'RE WORKING WITH VARIED INTEREST
• 10:29 AND HERE THERE'S AN IMAGE OF BABY COMFORTED AT THE CHILD'S MOTHER'S BREAST.
• 10:38 IT'S AN INTERESTING IMAGE FOR A VARIETY OF REASONS.
• 10:40 I WANT TO EXPLORE THAT WITH YOU.
• 10:42 IT COMES FROM PSALM 131 AND IN VERSE 2 IT SAYS IN HEBREW HERE,
• 10:55 IT'S A FASCINATING IMAGE.
• 10:57 LET ME EXPLORE AROUND IT
• 10:58 IN VERSE 2 TO LOOK AT THE WHOLE VERSE. HE SAYS,
• 11:13 HE SAYS IT TWICE.
• 11:14 THE IMAGERY HERE ISN'T A CHILD BEING DRIVEN BY APPETITE
• 11:18 WANTING TO SECURE SOME NURTURE FROM THE CHILD'S MOTHER'S BREAST...NO;
• 11:24 THE FOOD STAPLE HAS ALREADY BEEN DELIVERED.
• 11:28 HERE THERE'S THE AFTER MOMENT,
• 11:31 THAT IS TO SAY, THE CHILD JUST GLAD TO BE THERE WITH HIS OR HER MOTHER.
• 11:37 AND THE IMAGERY HERE INTERESTINGLY
• 11:40 IS GOD REPRESENTED AS A MOTHER
• 11:44 AND HERE THE CHILD IS JUST GLAD TO BE IN MOM'S PRESENCE.
• 11:49 THIS BECOMES A RELIGIOUS POETIC EXPRESSION FOR BEING CLOSE TO GOD.
• 11:56 NOW THIS IS AN INTERESTING ALLUSION FOR A VARIETY OF REASONS NOT LEAST OF WHICH
• 12:02 IS THE FACT THAT GOD REPRESENTED WITH SOMETHING OF A FEMININE TONE.
• 12:07 AND IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THE AUTHOR HERE IS TAKING A POETIC LICENSE TO CREATE A VISION,
• 12:13 TO HELP CREATE A MOMENT.
• 12:15 AND CERTAINLY IF ONE LOOKS AT THE PSALMS,
• 12:18 IF ONE LOOKS AT POETRY,
• 12:20 THE NAME OF GAME IN POETRY AND THE PSALMS ARE ALL ABOUT POETIC LANGUAGE.
• 12:24 THE NAME OF THE GAME IS TO PAINT ON THE HUMAN IMAGINATION.
• 12:28 AND HERE IT SEEMS TO ME THAT GOD WAS WAY AHEAD OF THE FEMINIST,
• 12:31 THAT IS TO SAY, IN SCRIPTURE THE MOTIF IS BORROWED TO UNDERSCORE
• 12:36 THE KIND OF CONTENTMENT THAT CAN BE HAD.
• 12:39 AND BY THE WAY, THAT'S THE PRINCIPLE MESSAGE OF THE PSALM.
• 12:42 JUST BEFORE IT THE PSALMIST SAYS,
• 12:44 "I'M NOT ALL ABOUT PURSUING MY ACQUISITIVE INTERESTS"
• 12:49 "AND GIVING VOICE TO MY ACQUISITIVE IMPULSES."
• 12:52 THE LORD ONLY KNOWS WE HAVE THAT.
• 12:55 CONTENTMENT IS SO VERY DIFFICULT FOR THE SOUL TO BE AT REST.
• 12:59 IT SEEMS THERE'S DIFFERENT SEASONS IN LIFE
• 13:02 AND I HEAR THE ENGINES OF AMBITIONS REVVING IN MY OWN PSYCHE,
• 13:07 DEEP IN MY OWN SOUL, IN MY OWN PERSON.
• 13:10 BUT IT SEEMS TO ME THERE'S A KIND OF CONTENTMENT THAT WE HAVE IN OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD.
• 13:14 IT'S ONE OF THE REASONS I THINK YESHUA, WHY JESUS SAID ADVISING SOLDIERS,
• 13:18 "LEARN TO BE CONTENT WITH YOUR WAGES."
• 13:20 IT'S NOT JUST SOLDIERS...
• 13:22 THE GOD'S HONEST TRUTH IS THAT A LOT OF US WISH WE HAD MORE AND THINK WE DESERVE IT
• 13:26 AND THEN OUR ENGINES ARE ALL REVVED UP
• 13:28 BECAUSE WE'RE NOT HAPPY WITH THE WAY WE'RE TREATED IN THIS WORLD.
• 13:32 IT'S INTERESTING THAT IN THE PSALMS OF ASCENT HERE,
• 13:35 THOSE THAT WALK WITH GOD TO JERUSALEM
• 13:38 ARE EXPERIENCING IN LANGUAGE THE IMAGERY OF CONTENTMENT,
• 13:44 HARKING BACK TO♪ A MOTHER AND THE CHILD.
• 13:47 WOULD THAT YOU AND I CAN RECALL THE DAYS WHEN WE WERE PARENTING.
• 13:51 FOR SOME IT'S A LOT CLOSER.
• 13:52 MY KIDS HAVE GROWN UP AND THE GRANDKIDS HAVEN'T COME YET.
• 13:56 I'VE GOT A WEDDING THAT'S FORTH COMING SOON
• 13:58 AND I'M TRUSTING GRANDCHILDREN WILL BE COMING
• 14:01 AND I'LL BE ABLE TO EXPERIENCE THAT TENDER MOMENT...
• 14:03 AN INFANT AND A CARING, NURTURING PERSON...
• 14:07 THAT TRANSACTION.
• 14:08 FOR THOSE OF US THAT ARE LITTLE REMOVED FROM IT
• 14:11 AND THOSE OF US THAT ARE ENGAGED IN NURTURING THE YOUNG AT THAT LEVEL,
• 14:14 FOR ALL OF US IT'S GOOD TO KNOW THAT GOD IS THERE.
• 14:17 THAT'S THE MESSAGE OF THE PSALMIST...
• 14:19 TO BE THAT NURTURER...
• 14:20 TO MEET US AT THAT POINT OF NEED.
• 14:23 THE LORD KNOWS WE HAVE THOSE NEEDS
• 14:25 BUT HE'S THERE ACCORDING TO THE PSALMIST
• 14:28 WHEN THEY WENT UP TO JERUSALEM TO GOD'S HOUSE,
• 14:31 THEY WANTED PARTICIPANTS TO BE REMINDED OF THE FACT THAT GOD IS THERE TO MEET NEEDS,
• 14:37 TO QUIET THE RESTLESS SOUL,
• 14:41 TO SOLVE PROBLEMS THAT SO VEX PEOPLE.
• 14:44 OH I THINK IT'S A GREAT PSALM
• 14:46 AND YOU MIGHT BE AT A PLACE IN YOUR LIFE
• 14:48 WHERE YOU'RE EXPERIENCING WHAT I'VE JUST DESCRIBED
• 14:51 AND ITS GOOD FOR YOU AND ITS GOOD FOR ME,
• 14:53 IT'S GOOD FOR ALL OF US TO BE REMINDED THAT WE CAN BE CALMED IN THE LORD
• 14:59 JUST LIKE A CHILD IS AT ITS MOTHER'S BREAST AFTER THE FEEDING.
• 15:16 ♪SHA' A' LU SHALOM YERUSHALAYIM♪
• 15:20 ♪SHA' A' LU, SHA' A' LU SHALOM♪
• 15:24 ♪IN THE HOLY CITY OF JERUSALEM♪
• 15:31 ♪WE WILL PRAY FOR PEACE...♪
• 15:34 ♪SHA' A' LU SHALOM♪
• 15:44 WHAT A SWEET PICTURE OF A MOTHER'S NURTURING HER CHILD,
• 15:48 CALMING HER CHILD DOWN.
• 15:50 GOD CALMS MY SOUL WHEN I ASK.
• 15:52 HE IS SO GOOD TO US.
• 15:54 I'M ASKED A LOT OF TIMES TRACIE,
• 15:56 "IS IT CALM IN ISRAEL?"
• 15:58 "IS IT SAFE IN ISRAEL?"
• 16:00 I UNDERSTAND THOSE QUESTIONS.
• 16:02 BUT YET I KNOW IT'S SAFE,
• 16:04 I'VE BEEN THERE ENOUGH TO KNOW ITS SAFE.
• 16:06 TELL OUR PEOPLE, IS IT SAFE?
• 16:08 IT IS SANDRA
• 16:09 AND I DO WANT OUR VIEWERS TO KNOW
• 16:10 BECAUSE WE HAVE BEEN OVER
• 16:12 TO ISRAEL 28 TIMES,
• 16:13 3 TIMES A YEAR,
• 16:14 NEVER CANCELLED 1 TOUR,
• 16:15 I'VE NEVER HAD ANYTHING HAPPEN
• 16:17 BUT I ALWAYS DO TAKE PROBABLY ABOUT 30 OR 45 MINUTES
• 16:20 WITH EACH PERSON THAT CALLS, EXPLAINING THIS,
• 16:22 BECAUSE I UNDERSTAND THEY'RE HOME WATCHING ON CNN, FOX NEWS,
• 16:25 THEY SEE THINGS HAPPENING IN ISRAEL.
• 16:27 OUR TOURS JUST DON'T GO TO THOSE PLACES.
• 16:29 WE STAY AWAY FROM THOSE PLACES.
• 16:31 THE PLACES THAT WE GO ARE SAFE.
• 16:33 AND I DO LOVE THAT YOU BROUGHT THE WORD "CALM"
• 16:35 BECAUSE I THINK PEOPLE GO TO ISRAEL...NOT ONLY IS IT SAFE THERE
• 16:38 BUT THEY DO FEEL A CALM IN THEIR SPIRIT,
• 16:40 THEY FEEL YESHUA AND ITS JUST EXTRAORDINARY.
• 16:44 AND IT IS.
• 16:45 I KNOW THE MINUTE THE PLANE HITS THE TARMAC IN TEL AVIV
• 16:48 I KNOW I'M HOME. THERE'S THIS PEACE >>THAT IS WHAT ALL OF THE PASSENGERS SAY.
• 16:54 THEY CALL ME UP WHEN THEY GET BACK AND THEY SAY,
• 16:56 "TRACIE I FEEL LIKE I'M OUT OF MY ELEMENT."
• 16:58 "I FEEL LIKE I WAS HOME AND I'VE LEFT.
• 17:01 WE ARE GOING TO GO BACK THERE ONE DAY IN JERUSALEM >>ABSOLUTELY
• 17:04 BUT I WANT TO INVITE
• 17:05 OUR VIEWERS...
• 17:06 THIS TOUR IS CUSTOMIZED
• 17:07 JUST FOR YOU.
• 17:08 WE ONLY ADVERTISE TO YOU
• 17:09 OUR ZOLA LEVITT VIEWERS.
• 17:10 THAT'S THE WHOLE REASON
• 17:12 ON ZOLA TOURS EXIST
• 17:13 IS TO TAKE YOU TO ISRAEL.
• 17:14 I WANT YOU TO COME WITH US.
• 17:16 WE HAVE SMALL TOURS...
• 17:17 ONE OR TWO BUSES...
• 17:18 AND YOU ARE GOING TO GO OVER AND EXPERIENCE YESHUA
• 17:20 AND SEE CALM IN HIS PRESENCE. >>AMEN...ABSOLUTELY
• 17:23 OUR OFFER THIS WEEK
• 17:25 IS THE DVD OF THE WHOLE SERIES
• 17:27 OF THE "PSALMS OF ASCENT".
• 17:28 I KNOW THAT YOU'RE GOING TO
• 17:30 WANT TO GET THIS.
• 17:31 THIS HAS JUST BEEN
• 17:32 A TERRIFIC TEACHING.
• 17:33 THE BIBLE TEACHES US ALSO THAT WE ARE TO PRAY
• 17:35 NOT ONLY FOR OUR NEEDS
• 17:37 BUT FOR THE NEEDS OF OTHERS.
• 17:38 EITAN SHISHKOFF IS A BELIEVER IN HAIFA, ISRAEL
• 17:41 AND REALLY WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR PRAYERS FOR THE JEWISH BELIEVERS.
• 17:48 SHALOM, THIS IS EITAN SHISHKOFF
• 17:49 WITH "TENTS OF MERCY"
• 17:51 IN KIRYAT YAM, ISRAEL.
• 17:52 KIRYAT YAM IS RIGHT NEXT
• 17:54 TO THE HAIFA BAY.
• 17:56 AND I'D LIKE TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT A PROPHETIC PICTURE
• 18:00 THAT THE PROPHET JOEL GIVES OF THE END TIMES.
• 18:03 THE BOOK OF JOEL IS DEALING WITH GOD CALLING HIS PEOPLE BACK IN REPENTANCE.
• 18:09 IT TALKS ABOUT BLOWING THE SHOFAR,
• 18:11 GATHERING THE PEOPLE TO PRAY INTENSELY FOR REVIVAL AND FOR THE OUTPOURING OF GOD'S SPIRIT.
• 18:19 A PORTION THAT PROBABLY
• 18:20 PEOPLE ARE FAMILIAR WITH
• 18:22 THAT TALKS ABOUT GOD
• 18:23 POURING OUT HIS SPIRIT
• 18:24 ON ALL FLESH
• 18:25 AND PARTICULARLY UPON ISRAEL.
• 18:27 BUT BEFORE THAT THERE'S A VERSE THAT I BELIEVE RELATES TO YOU AND TO ME
• 18:30 AND THAT IS IN JOEL CHAPTER 2, VERSE 17,
• 18:40 THIS IS A STRONG IMAGE OF THE PRIESTS WHO CAME BEFORE GOD
• 18:46 TO INTERCEDE ON BEHALF OF THE PEOPLE WHO CRIED OUT TO GOD
• 18:50 FOR A CLEANSING OF THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL
• 18:53 FOR OUR HEARTS TO BE PURE TOWARD THE LORD
• 18:56 AND FOR THE ATONING SACRIFICES TO HAVE EFFECT.
• 18:59 AND HE IS SAYING THAT AT THE END OF TIMES
• 19:02 THAT WE AS BOTH JEWS AND GENTILES WHO ARE NOW PRIESTS BEFORE THE LORD
• 19:07 THAT WE ARE TO INTERCEDE FOR THE SALVATION OF ISRAEL.
• 19:11 NOW SEVERAL VERSES LATER THE SCRIPTURE SPEAKS ABOUT AN ABUNDANT HARVEST
• 19:16 AND GOD SAYS THAT HE WILL SEND THE RAIN, BOTH THE FORMER RAIN AND THE LATER RAIN.
• 19:20 THIS LATER RAIN IS SOMETHING THAT WE ARE WAITING FOR IN ISRAEL
• 19:25 AND IT SPEAKS OF THE OUTPOURING OF THE SPIRIT
• 19:28 TO SOFTEN THE HEARTS OF OUR PEOPLE.
• 19:31 NOW I RELATE THIS INTERCESSION TO 2 OTHER PLACES IN SCRIPTURE.
• 19:35 ONE IS WHERE YESHUA, JESUS, IS STANDING BEFORE THE GRAVE OF LAZARUS IN JOHN, CHAPTER 11,
• 19:40 AND HE SAYS, "LAZARUS COME FORTH!"
• 19:42 YOU WILL REMEMBER THAT JUST BEFORE THAT HE WAS WEEPING.
• 19:45 AND I DON'T BELIEVE THAT HE WAS WEEPING FOR LAZARUS
• 19:48 BECAUSE HE KNEW HE WOULD RAISE HIM FROM THE DEAD,
• 19:50 BUT HE WAS WEEPING FOR ALL OF ISRAEL.
• 19:53 THIS IS THE HEART OF THE MESSIAH,
• 19:55 THAT HE DESIRES FOR ALL ISRAEL TO BE SAVED,
• 19:58 BUT THERE IS A ROLE FOR US TO PLAY,
• 20:00 YOU'RE NOT JUST STANDING ON THE SIDELINES IN THE GRANDSTANDS WATCHING THIS,
• 20:03 GOD IS CALLING US TO BE TENDER OF HEART
• 20:08 WHETHER WE HAVE PHYSICAL TEARS OR NOT
• 20:10 AND TO CRY OUT TO GOD FOR THE RESURRECTION,
• 20:13 FOR THE SALVATION OF HIS PEOPLE.
• 20:15 THIS RESURRECTION IS WHAT THE PROPHET EZEKIEL SAW.
• 20:18 HE SAW THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL COMING BACK....
• 20:20 THE JEWISH PEOPLE COMING BACK TO THE LAND OF ISRAEL AT THIS TIME.
• 20:24 AND YET THERE WAS TO BE AN AWAKENING,
• 20:27 A SPIRITUAL AWAKENING.
• 20:29 SO I WANT TO INVITE YOU TO PRAY WITH ME FOR THIS SPIRITUAL AWAKENING.
• 20:33 GOD IS LISTENING,
• 20:34 HE'S WAITING TO HEAR YOUR PRAYERS
• 20:36 AND THEY ARE EFFECTIVE.
• 20:38 THANK YOU.

• 24:33 IS WONDERFUL WORDS.
• 24:35 ONE OF THE WAYS WE DON'T STAY SILENT IS BY PRAYING
• 24:38 AND I LOVE THAT WE GET UP AND WE PRAY FOR EACH OTHER
• 24:40 AND WE PRAY FOR OUR FRIENDS
• 24:42 AND OUR JEWISH FRIENDS
• 24:43 AND OUR NEIGHBORS, OUR FAMILY...
• 24:45 PRAYER IS WONDERFUL.
• 24:46 ESPECIALLY, FOR THAT IS FROM ISAIAH, CHAPTER 62,
• 24:49 AND HE SAYS
• 25:04 AND SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE CALLED TO BE IS WATCHMEN.
• 25:07 AND WATCHMEN STOOD ON THE WALLS
• 25:09 AND THEY WAITED FOR THE ARMIES THAT WERE COMING
• 25:12 OR THEY WAITED FOR THE SUN TO RISE OR FESTIVALS TO BEGIN.
• 25:15 AND PRAYING... AND PRAYING >>RIGHT AND PRAY SHOULD BE THAT...
• 25:18 ALWAYS AWARE OF WHAT GOD IS DOING.
• 25:20 YEAH AND I AM SO AWARE OF PRAYING
• 25:22 I DON'T NECESSARILY, SOMETIMES DO A LONG PRAYER
• 25:25 BUT I THINK ALL PRAYERS...
• 25:27 GOD KNOWS OUR HEARTS
• 25:29 AND I THINK THAT'S WHERE PRAYER COMES FROM, IS OUR HEART.
• 25:32 A LOT OF TIMES PRAYERS CAN BE INSINCERE >>YES
• 25:35 BUT THE SINCERE PRAYER OF "LORD, HELP ME" IS...
• 25:38 YEAH, THAT'S THE ONE I DO A LOT. >>REALLY?
• 25:41 AND SOMETIMES I'M JUST QUIET
• 25:43 AND JUST...
• 25:44 SOMETIMES I CAN'T EVEN PRAY,
• 25:46 I JUST GET QUIET BEFORE GOD. >>YEAH...AND LISTEN.
• 25:49 AND LISTEN TO WHERE GOD IS GOING.
• 25:51 THE SONG WAS WONDERFUL
• 25:52 WELL BLESS THE LORD >>"FOR ZION'S SAKE"
• 25:53 YEAH...JUST WONDERFUL >>THANK YOU
• 25:55 SO WE ARE IN PSALMS 130 AND 131.
• 25:58 I LIKE WHERE PSALMS 130 SAYS THIS,
• 26:07 MARTY, IT'S THE WORD...
• 26:08 WE'RE PRAYING THE WORD.
• 26:10 (Marty reading)
• 26:17 AND THAT'S THE SAME REFERENCE TO THE WATCHMAN.
• 26:20 SO I GUESS WE JUST HAVE TO KEEP WATCH.
• 26:22 WE NEED TO KEEP WATCH >>AND THAT'S WHAT YESHUA SAID,
• 26:24 "WATCH AND PRAY" >>AMEN!
• 26:27 "THAT YOU MAY NOT ENTER INTO TEMPTATION."
• 26:29 THAT'S WONDERFUL. I LOVE HAVING YOU ON THE PROGRAMS.
• 26:32 THIS HAS BEEN SO MUCH FUN. >>WELL THANK YOU
