Caption transcript for Acts: Then and Now — “The One New Man” (5/8)

• 00:13 GO YE THEREFORE AND TEACH ALL NATIONS,
• 00:16 BAPTIZING THEM IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, AND OF THE SON, AND OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
• 00:21 TEACHING THEM TO OBSERVE ALL THINGS WHATSOEVER I HAVE COMMANDED YOU.
• 00:25 AND LO, I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS,
• 00:28 EVEN UNTO THE END OF THE WORLD.
• 00:42 SHALOM, AND WELCOME
• 00:43 TO ZOLA LEVITT PRESENTS.
• 00:45 I'M MYLES WEISS.
• 00:46 THIS IS MY WIFE KATHARINE
• 00:47 MY CO-HOST.
• 00:48 AND TODAY WE'RE CONTINUING IN OUR SERIES
• 00:50 "ACTS, THEN AND NOW... THE STORY CONTINUES".
• 00:53 THIS STORY IS SO DEAR TO OUR HEARTS MYLES BECAUSE IT'S ABOUT THE "ONE NEW MAN".
• 00:57 AND MYLES BEING JEWISH AND ME BEING A GENTILE,
• 00:59 GOD HAS BROUGHT US TOGETHER AND WE'RE ONE IN MESSIAH.
• 01:03 HE'S BROKEN DOWN THE MIDDLE WALL OF PARTITION
• 01:05 AND GIVEN US THE WAY IN, BOTH JEW AND GENTILE, INTO THE HOLY OF HOLIES.
• 01:10 SO LET'S GO NOW AND HEAR SOME TEACHING FROM EPHESUS.
• 01:22 HERE WE ARE IN EPHESUS,
• 01:23 ONE OF THE WONDERS
• 01:24 OF THE ANCIENT WORLD
• 01:26 AND WHEN PAUL CAME HERE THERE WAS NO SLIGHT STIR.
• 01:30 WHAT A COMMOTION WAS STIRRED UP
• 01:32 BECAUSE OF THE CLASH BETWEEN PAUL BRINGING KNOWLEDGE OF THE GOD OF ISRAEL
• 01:38 TO A PLACE THAT WAS GIVEN OVER TO EVERY KIND OF GOD.
• 01:43 THIS LETTER TO THE EPHESIANS WAS WRITTEN BY PAUL WHEN HE WAS IN PRISON IN ROME
• 01:49 AND IT WAS A WAY OF ENCOURAGING THE BODY HERE.
• 01:52 THE BODY OF BELIEVERS HERE NEEDED TO BE ENCOURAGED AND STRENGTHENED.
• 01:56 THEY HAD HAD A GOOD FOUNDATION, SOLID FOUNDATION,
• 01:59 AND IN FACT THE LETTER TO THE EPHESIANS IS ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL LETTERS THAT WE HAVE
• 02:05 BECAUSE IT REALLY TELLS THE GOSPEL STORY IN TERMS OF OUR OWN PERSONAL WALK WITH YESHUA...
• 02:11 WITH JESUS CHRIST.
• 02:12 AND THAT'S WHAT PAUL WAS DOING IN THIS LETTER.
• 02:14 IT SPEAKS TO US EVEN TODAY.
• 02:16 IN THE EARLY CHAPTERS OF THIS LETTER HE SPEAKS ABOUT
• 02:19 THE PLACE THAT WE HAVE WITH CHRIST IF WE KNOW HIM,
• 02:23 IF WE HAVE A REAL RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM,
• 02:26 PAUL LETS US KNOW THROUGH THE EPHESIAN LETTER THAT WE'RE SEATED IN HEAVENLY PLACES.
• 02:30 THAT'S OUR STARTING POINT.
• 02:32 AND BECAUSE WE'RE SEATED IN HEAVENLY PLACES
• 02:34 CHRIST HIMSELF GIVES US THE FELLOWSHIP; THE ABILITY TO WALK WITH HIM.
• 02:40 IT GOES ON TO SAY "TO WALK IN HIM IN LOVE" IN SUCH A WAY
• 02:44 THAT WE ARE ABLE TO HAVE A TRANSFORMING EFFECT ON THE WORLD AROUND US.
• 02:48 AND ONCE WE ARE DOING THAT...
• 02:50 RECOGNIZING WE'RE SEATED IN HEAVENLY PLACES
• 02:52 WE RECOGNIZE THAT WE ARE ABLE TO WALK IN LOVE BECAUSE OF WHO HE IS.
• 02:56 AND FINALLY IN EPHESIANS 6, VERSES 10 AND FOLLOWING
• 03:00 HE LETS US KNOW THAT WE CAN STAND AGAINST THE WILES OF THE DEVIL
• 03:04 AND SHOWS US HOW TO PUT ON THE ARMOR OF GOD AND TO WAGE A SPIRITUAL WAR.
• 03:09 REMEMBER WE DO NOT WAR AGAINST FLESH AND BLOOD.
• 03:12 THIS IS NOT A NATIONAL ISSUE.
• 03:14 THIS IS A PERSONAL ISSUE OF BEING ABLE TO RECOGNIZE THAT WE ARE SEATED IN HEAVENLY PLACES
• 03:20 AND THEN RECOGNIZE BECAUSE OF THAT WE ARE EMPOWERED TO WALK IN LOVE
• 03:25 AND THEN WE CAN STAND AGAINST THE WORK OF THE ENEMY
• 03:29 WHO ALWAYS COMES TO BRING DIVISION AND TO BRING CHAOS AND HARM.
• 03:33 IT'S AN AMAZING STORY BECAUSE WHAT HAPPENED HERE
• 03:36 WAS THE UPROAR WAS BASED IN THE IDEA THAT HE WAS COMING TO PREACH AN UNKNOWN GOD;
• 03:43 PREACH A DIFFERENT GOD;
• 03:45 AND CAME AGAINST FINANCES THAT WERE BEING MADE HERE
• 03:49 AT THE TEMPLE OF DIANA AND THE TEMPLE OF ARTEMIS.
• 03:52 IN FACT, THE EPHESIANS LED BY ALEXANDER THE COPPERSMITH...
• 03:56 AND THE EPHESIANS WERE YELLING IN THE STREETS
• 04:01 "GREAT IS DIANA OF THE EPHESIANS...GREAT IS DIANA OF THE EPHESIANS".
• 04:05 AND THERE WAS A GREAT COMMOTION STIRRED UP
• 04:08 BETWEEN THOSE THAT WERE MAKING MONEY OFF OF THE SILVER-SMITHING AND ALL THE BRASS WORK;
• 04:13 ALL THE WORK THAT WAS DONE HERE TO MAKING IDOLS WAS COMING UNDER SCRUTINY NOW
• 04:18 BECAUSE PAUL WAS COMING AND SPEAKING ABOUT THIS GOD
• 04:21 WHO WAS THE CREATOR OF THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH AND COULD NOT BE CONTAINED IN A TEMPLE;
• 04:26 COULD NOT BE CONTAINED IN ANYTHING THAT WAS MADE BY MAN.
• 04:30 AND SO THE TENSION WAS VERY, VERY STRONG.
• 04:35 IT WAS A VERY INTENSE TIME FOR PAUL.
• 04:38 IT WAS A VERY STRONG TIME OF BRINGING THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
• 04:41 IN FACT, HE SAID TO THEM "HAVE YOU BEEN BAPTIZED?"
• 04:44 AND THERE WERE QUESTIONS;
• 04:46 THEY HAD QUESTIONS ABOUT WHICH BAPTISM.
• 04:48 WAS IT THE BAPTISM OF JOHN THAT WAS AN UN-NAMED BAPTISM TO REPENTANCE?
• 04:52 OR WAS IT A NEW BAPTISM?
• 04:55 AND PAUL HAD TO INSTRUCT THEM.
• 04:57 HE HAD TO LET THEM KNOW THAT THIS WAS A BAPTISM THAT WAS COMING TO THEM
• 05:01 IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER AND THE SON AND THE HOLY SPIRIT.
• 05:04 THIS WAS A NEW THING.
• 05:06 AND WITH THAT CAME THE "DUNAMIS";
• 05:07 THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, MIRACLES, SIGNS AND WONDERS...
• 05:12 ACTS THEN...ACTS NOW.
• 05:13 WE'LL BE HEARING MORE ABOUT THAT LATER IN THIS SERIES.
• 05:16 THIS IS AN AMAZING PART OF THE STORY
• 05:19 BECAUSE YOU CAN GO THROUGH THE EPHESIAN LETTER
• 05:21 AND ORIENT YOURSELF AROUND HOW TO LIVE THE CHRISTIAN LIFE.
• 05:25 IT'S A REAL GIFT TO US TODAY.
• 05:28 SO WHEN WE SPEAK ABOUT ACTS THEN AND ACTS NOW,
• 05:30 ONE OF THE GREATEST KEY LETTERS THAT WE HAVE
• 05:34 IS THE LETTER THAT PAUL WROTE TO THE EPHESIANS WHEN HE WAS IN PRISON IN ROME.
• 05:39 AND SO WE'RE GOING TO LOOK EVEN DEEPER INTO SOME OF THE WORDS THAT HE BROUGHT TO THEM
• 05:45 TO ENCOURAGE THEM TO HELP THEM TO LIVE THE LIFE IN YESHUA'S NAME, AMEN!

• 06:37 PLEASE CONTACT US FOR MORE INFORMATION.
• 06:48 WE'RE HERE IN EPHESUS IN THE HOME OF A WEALTHY PERSON.
• 06:52 THIS IS AN AMAZING PLACE THAT'S BEING UNEARTHED RIGHT NOW.
• 06:56 AND IT MAY HAVE BEEN A PLACE THAT PAUL STAYED, WE DON'T KNOW FOR SURE,
• 06:59 BUT IT WAS NOT FAR FROM HERE IN THE THEATER
• 07:02 WHERE PAUL WAS RESISTED BY DEMETRIUS AND ALEXANDER.
• 07:05 AND HE MAKES NOTE OF THAT IN ACTS 19.
• 07:07 HE SPEAKS ABOUT HOW THE WORD COMING IN HAS CHALLENGED THE FINANCES OF THE CITY
• 07:14 BECAUSE SO MUCH MONEY WAS BEING MADE IN THE MAKING OF ARTIFACTS TO DIANA, THE GODDESS.
• 07:20 AND HERE COME PAUL WITH THE WORD OF THE LORD.
• 07:22 HERE COMES PAUL WITH THE WORD OF THE ONE TRUE GOD
• 07:26 AND IT UPSET THE CITY OF EPHESUS
• 07:29 BUT IT WAS STIRRED UP EVEN FURTHER
• 07:31 BY THE BRINGING OF THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AND PEOPLE GETTING BAPTIZED
• 07:36 AND JUST A REAL, REVOLUTIONARY NEW THING WAS TAKING PLACE IN EPHESUS.
• 07:41 AND WHEN PAUL WROTE THIS LETTER, HE WROTE IT FROM ROME,
• 07:44 WHEN HE WAS IN PRISON, TO THE EPHESIANS
• 07:46 AND HE REMINDS THEM THIS IN EPHESIANS CHAPTER 2, VERSE 8.
• 07:51 HE SAYS, "BY GRACE YOU HAVE BEEN SAVED THROUGH FAITH"
• 07:54 "AND THAT NOT OF YOURSELVES, IT IS THE GIFT OF GOD,"
• 07:57 "NOT AS A RESULT OF WORKS SO THAT NO MAN MAY BOAST."
• 08:01 AND ISN'T THAT THE WORD FOR US
• 08:03 THAT WE DO NOT COME TO FAITH BECAUSE WE HAD A BRIGHT IDEA
• 08:07 OR WE SUDDENLY UNDERSTOOD WHO JESUS IS.
• 08:10 NO, IT IS FAITH THAT IS GIVEN TO US BY GOD
• 08:13 AND THIS LETTER COMES DOWN THROUGH THE AGES AND SPEAKS TO YOU AND SPEAKS TO ME.
• 08:18 AND THEN PAUL GOES ON TO DO SOMETHING THAT IS UNBELIEVABLE.
• 08:23 IT IS SUCH AN AMAZING WORD
• 08:25 BECAUSE HE GOES ON TO SAY IN EPHESIANS CHAPTER 2, VERSES 14 AND 15,
• 08:29 "HE HIMSELF IS OUR PEACE WHO HAS MADE BOTH GROUPS INTO ONE
• 08:33 AND BROKE DOWN THE BARRIER OF THE DIVIDING WALL
• 08:37 BY ABOLISHING IN HIS FLESH THE ENMITY, WHICH IS THE LAW OF COMMANDMENTS."
• 08:41 HE'S GOING ON TO SPEAK AND TURN THE WORLD RIGHT SIDE UP
• 08:45 BY SAYING IT IS NOT THAT JEWISH PEOPLE ARE NOW BECOMING CHRISTIAN PEOPLE
• 08:49 BUT RATHER HE'S SPEAKING TO THE PAGAN WORLD
• 08:52 AND SAYING YOU ARE NOW BEING BROUGHT INTO THE COMMONWEALTH OF ISRAEL.
• 08:57 AND HE IS SPEAKING TO US ABOUT THE "ONE NEW MAN".
• 09:01 WOW, THIS IS THE PLACE,
• 09:04 IF EPHESUS WERE THIS LETTER THAT HAS THE FULL GOSPEL IN IT
• 09:08 AND PREACHES TO US ABOUT HOW TO LIVE THE CHRISTIAN LIFE
• 09:11 AND SPEAKS TO US SO CLEARLY ABOUT THE "ONE NEW MAN".
• 09:16 WE HEAR THAT PHRASE MORE AND MORE AROUND THE WORLD WHICH IS A GOOD THING.
• 09:20 MORE AND MORE OFTEN CHURCHES AND BELIEVERS ARE UNDERSTANDING
• 09:24 THAT THEY ARE GRAFTED INTO THE LIFE OF ISRAEL.
• 09:28 THEY ARE GRAFTED IN TO THE OLIVE TREE OF ISRAEL.
• 09:31 THEY ARE GRAFTED IN TO THE LIFE OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE
• 09:36 AND THE STATE OF ISRAEL, THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL;
• 09:38 ESPECIALLY THE BELIEVING COMMUNITY IN ISRAEL.
• 09:41 NOW AS THE SERIES UNFOLDS YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR THIS MORE AND MORE
• 09:45 BECAUSE THE "ONE NEW MAN"
• 09:47 IS THE HEARTBEAT OF GOD'S DESIRE
• 09:49 THAT HE WOULD HAVE A BRIDE MADE UP OF JEWS AND GENTILES TOGETHER.
• 09:54 AND I BELIEVE THAT THIS LETTER ALMOST MORE THAN ANY OTHER OF PAUL'S EPISTLES
• 09:58 SPEAKS SO CLEARLY TO US ABOUT THAT PROCESS
• 10:02 THAT NO LONGER INDIVIDUAL JEWISH PEOPLE COMING IN TO A NEW RELIGION
• 10:07 BUT RATHER HE'S SPEAKING TO THE ENTIRE WORLD AND OPENING THE DOORS
• 10:11 BECAUSE OF THE WORK OF THE CROSS
• 10:13 HE'S OPENING THE DOOR FOR GENTILES TO BE BROUGHT IN TO THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL.
• 10:18 WHAT A CHANGE...
• 10:19 WHAT A DIFFERENCE.
• 10:21 TODAY IN ISRAEL THIS IS BEING PLAYED OUT
• 10:25 JUST AS PAUL WROTE TO PEOPLE IN EPHESUS
• 10:28 WE'RE SEEING IT PLAYED OUT IN ISRAEL AS BELIEVE IT OR NOT,
• 10:32 JEWS AND ARABS ARE WORSHIPPING GOD TOGETHER BECAUSE OF THE WORK OF THE CROSS.
• 10:38 YOU'LL MEET SOME OF OUR FRIENDS WHO ARE LIVING THAT LIFE
• 10:42 WHERE THEY'RE SEEING JEWISH PEOPLE AND ARAB PEOPLE IN PERFECT HARMONY, PERFECT PEACE,
• 10:47 BORN AGAIN TOGETHER, A ONE SPIRIT;
• 10:50 THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD, YESHUA HA MASHIACH, JESUS CHRIST.
• 10:53 AND WHAT A MIRACLE TO SEE THAT TAKING PLACE IN OUR DAY.
• 10:57 I BELIEVE WE'RE GOING TO SEE MORE AND MORE AS THE DAY APPROACHES;
• 11:02 AS THAT DAY APPROACHES.
• 11:03 THE DAY OF THE LORD COMING,
• 11:05 WE'RE GOING TO SEE MORE AND MORE OF THESE WALLS CONTINUING TO BE BROKEN DOWN
• 11:09 AND JEWS AND GENTILES, EVEN JEWS AND ARABS WORSHIPPING JESUS TOGETHER.
• 11:28 THE BIBLE LANDS...
• 11:29 YOU'VE READ ABOUT THEM.
• 11:30 NOW ENCOUNTER THEM FOR YOURSELF.

• 12:37 WRITTEN BY MYSELF
• 12:39 AND IT IS A REALLY GOOD OVERVIEW
• 12:42 OF THE "ONE NEW MAN" MINISTRY.
• 12:44 IT'S A REALLY GOOD PICTURE
• 12:45 OF HOW GOD IN THESE LAST DAYS
• 12:47 IS OPENING UP
• 12:48 ROMANS CHAPTER 9 THROUGH 11
• 12:49 PREPARING US FOR JESUS' RETURN
• 12:52 AND REALLY SPEAKING ABOUT
• 12:53 THE MIDDLE WALL OF PARTITION
• 12:55 BEING BROKEN DOWN
• 12:56 AND JEWS AND GENTILES
• 12:57 COMING TOGETHER TO WORSHIP HIM.
• 12:59 SO WE WANT TO OFFER THAT
• 13:00 TO YOU THIS WEEK AS WELL.
• 13:01 WELL OUR NEXT INTERVIEW IS WITH SOME DEAR FRIENDS OF OURS.
• 13:04 DAVID AND KAREN DAVIS MINISTER ON MT. CARMEL
• 13:07 WHERE THEY ARE LIVING OUT THE BREAKTHROUGH OF THE "ONE NEW MAN" MINISTRY...
• 13:12 ACTUALLY ARABS AND JEWS WORSHIPPING THE LORD TOGETHER ON THE TOP OF MT. CARMEL.
• 13:17 IT'S LIKE A PIECE OF HEAVEN.
• 13:19 SO WE WANT TO TAKE YOU TO OUR INTERVIEW WITH DAVID DAVIS RIGHT NOW FROM MT. CARMEL.
• 13:28 DAVID WE'VE JUST COME FROM EPHESUS WHERE WE READ THE LETTER TO THE EPHESIANS THAT PAUL WROTE
• 13:34 AND TUCKED IN THERE IS THAT PHRASE "THE ONE NEW MAN"
• 13:37 I THOUGHT OF YOU HERE ON MT. CARMEL.
• 13:39 CAN YOU TELL ME HOW YOU BEGAN THIS WORK AND WHAT'S GOING ON NOW?
• 13:43 WELL THAT PHRASE
• 13:44 "THE ONE NEW MAN"
• 13:45 HAS BEEN TUCKED IN MY HEART
• 13:46 FOR MANY YEARS...MY WIFE AND I.
• 13:48 MY WIFE'S A JEW...I'M A GENTILE.
• 13:50 WE MET THE LORD
• 13:51 IN NEW YORK CITY.
• 13:52 WE WERE WORKING WITH DAVID WILKERSON.
• 13:53 WE HAD A CALL THEN TO MOVE TO ISRAEL.
• 13:55 SO 22 YEARS AGO WE MOVED TO ISRAEL TO START A REHABILITATION CENTER
• 13:59 FOR JEWS AND ARABS TOGETHER IN THE SAME BUILDING
• 14:02 BECAUSE WE BELIEVE THAT GOD IS RESTORING THE ONE NEW MAN
• 14:05 THE WAY THAT THE BODY OF MESSIAH BEGAN 2,000 YEARS AGO.
• 14:09 SO AS WE MOVED TO HAIFA AND GOT THIS OLD BUILDING WHICH WAS DESERTED,
• 14:13 THE SOVIET UNION COLLAPSED, ALL THE RUSSIAN JEWS WERE COMING BACK,
• 14:15 SADDAM HUSSEIN WAS FIRING THESE MISSILES FROM THE OTHER DIRECTION,
• 14:18 THEY WERE HITTING HAIFA,
• 14:20 THE MOUNTAIN WAS SHAKING,
• 14:21 WE WERE RUNNING THROUGH THE NIGHT PUTTING ON OUR GAS MASKS.
• 14:24 AND WHEN THE WAR WAS OVER WE HAD THIS OLD BUILDING
• 14:27 AND THE BATTLE BEGAN TO START REACHING DRUG ADDICTS
• 14:29 AND NOBODY IN THE BODY OF MESSIAH IN THOSE YEARS
• 14:31 WAS REACHING THE ARAB AND JEWISH DRUG ADDICTS OF ISRAEL.
• 14:35 AND SO MANY PASTORS HERE IN THE LAND HAD ASKED US
• 14:37 "WE NEED HELP WITH THIS."
• 14:38 "WE DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO."
• 14:40 AND SO PEOPLE STARTED COMING, THEY STARTED GETTING SAVED,
• 14:42 WE HAD A BIBLE STUDY...
• 14:44 IT EXPLODED,
• 14:45 OTHER PEOPLE STARTED COMING FROM GALILEE AND OTHER PLACES,
• 14:48 JEWS WERE COMING TO THE LORD,
• 14:50 PROSTITUTES, PEOPLE COMING OFF OF DRUGS, ALCOHOL,
• 14:52 PEOPLE THAT HAD MADE ALIYAH IN RECENT YEARS AND LOCAL PEOPLE.
• 14:56 AND MY WIFE STARTED DOING SOME WORSHIP THERE;
• 14:58 SHE'S A WORSHIP LEADER AND SHE'S A JEW OF COURSE SO WE'RE SINGING IN HEBREW.
• 15:02 AN ARAB GUITAR PLAYER WE HELPED BECOME A PASTOR...
• 15:06 YOU'VE MET HIM...
• 15:08 HE CAME AND SAID HE WANTED TO PLAY MESSIANIC MUSIC ON HIS GUITAR.
• 15:11 SO WE HAD "THE ONE NEW MAN" BAND ON MT. CARMEL.
• 15:14 AND WE OUTGREW "THE HOUSE OF VICTORY"
• 15:15 SO THE LORD BROUGHT US UP TO THE TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN WHERE WE ARE NOW.
• 15:19 WE'RE ON THE TOP OF MT. CARMEL.
• 15:20 AND THE LORD GAVE US THIS PIECE OF LAND FREE, HALLELUJAH!
• 15:25 YOU KNOW THE LORD'S HEART IS REALLY IN TO THE ONE NEW MAN
• 15:28 TO SEE JEWS AND ARABS AND GENTILES COME TO THE LORD IN THE LAST DAYS
• 15:32 AND ESPECIALLY IN THE EPICENTER OF IT ALL WHERE HE'S RETURNING IN ISRAEL.
• 15:36 SO THE LORD GAVE US THIS PIECE OF LAND FREE PRAISE GOD!
• 15:39 AND THIS BUILDING WE'RE SITTING ON IS BUILT ON HUGE BEDROCK.
• 15:44 EVERYTHING WE DO NEEDS TO BE BUILT ON THE ROCK JESUS, YESHUA.
• 15:48 SO THE LORD TOLD US TO RESTORE THE ALTAR OF THE LORD ON MT. CARMEL.
• 15:52 THAT WAS THE VISION FOR THE CONGREGATION.
• 15:53 AND SO THE CONGREGATION WHICH IS CALLED KEHILAT HACARMEL OR CARMEL ASSEMBLY...
• 15:57 WE HAD 12 STONES AROUND THE ALTAR BEHIND ME.
• 16:01 AND THE 12 STONES...
• 16:03 WHEN ELIJAH RESTORED THE ALTAR OF THE LORD IT WAS A PROPHETIC ACT WHEN HE DID IT
• 16:07 BECAUSE THE TWO SOUTHERN TRIBES
• 16:09 WERE SEPARATED FROM THE TEN NORTHERN TRIBES WHEN HE ACTUALLY DID IT.
• 16:13 SO THERE WAS DIVISION.
• 16:14 THERE HAD BEEN A CIVIL WAR AFTER THE TIME OF SOLOMON.
• 16:17 AND SO RESTORING THE ALTAR OF THE LORD
• 16:20 IS A PICTURE OF THE 12 TRIBES THAT WILL EVENTUALLY COME BACK TOGETHER.
• 16:24 AND MYLES...IT'S HAPPENING NOW.
• 16:28 YOU'RE ON MT. CARMEL
• 16:30 WHERE JEWS ARE COMING TO THE LORD IN MORE NUMBERS THAN ANY TIME SINCE THE BOOK OF ACTS
• 16:34 AND IT'S JUST THE BEGINNING PRAISE THE LORD!
• 16:36 AND SO THE LORD HAS JUST BLESSED THIS VISION OF THE ONE NEW MAN.
• 16:40 MY WIFE'S WORSHIP TEAM... JEWS; SHE HAS THREE ARABS ON OUR WORSHIP TEAM.
• 16:44 AND WHEN WE WORSHIP HERE ON SHABBAT THIS WHOLE PLACE IS PACKED OUT.
• 16:48 WE HAVE TO OPEN UP THE WALLS.
• 16:49 WE'VE MADE THESE WALLS SO THEY SWING OPEN.
• 16:51 AND GOD TOLD US THAT IF WE WOULD PREACH THE PURE WORD...
• 16:54 PREACH AN UNCOMPROMISED WORD AND WORSHIP HIM IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH
• 16:58 HE WOULD BRING JEWS AND ARABS INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
• 17:00 AND THAT'S WHAT HE'S DOING HERE.
• 17:02 IT'S AN AMAZING STORY AND PEOPLE IN THE WEST... WE DON'T HEAR THIS GOOD NEWS.
• 17:06 WE HEAR THE SMALL VERSION OF THE TELEVISION NEWS.
• 17:09 BUT HERE YOU HAVE ALL THESE STORIES OF UNITY AND SHARED FAITH THAT WE NEVER HEAR ABOUT.
• 17:15 LISTEN...WE'VE HAD AN EX-DRUG ADDICT WHO IS NOW OUR YOUTH PASTOR
• 17:18 COME THROUGH UZBEKISTAN FROM THE FORMER SOVIET UNION.
• 17:21 HE WAS MARRIED HERE UNDER A CHUPPAH TO HIS GERMAN WIFE.
• 17:24 NOW LISTEN...IF YOU CAN RECONCILE JEWS AND GERMANS IN THE ONE NEW MAN BODY
• 17:29 YOU CAN RECONCILE ANYBODY.
• 17:31 AND SO WE HAVE SEEN OVER AND OVER AGAIN THAT THE LORD WANTS TO RESTORE THE VISION
• 17:36 TO THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST AND THE MESSIANIC BODY IN THE LAST DAYS
• 17:40 TO GO BACK TO THE WAY IT WAS IN THE BOOK OF ACTS.
• 17:43 THIS IS THE WAY THE CHURCH IS GOING TO END.
• 17:46 AND IT STARTED WITH JEWS.
• 17:47 AND I LOVE THE STORY OF EPHESUS.
• 17:49 I PREACH ON IT ALL THE TIME.
• 17:51 PAUL GOT THOSE TWELVE JEWS THAT WERE ON FIRE FOR THE LORD AND THEY WENT INTO EPHESUS,
• 17:55 THIS HORRIBLE, DEMONIC STRONGHOLD WITH THE STATUE OF DIANA
• 17:58 AND HE WENT TO THE SYNAGOGUE.
• 18:00 AND THE JEWS CAME TO THE LORD,
• 18:02 THEN HE GOT GENTILES AND THEY TURNED THE WHOLE CITY IN THAT WHOLE PART OF ASIA UPSIDE-DOWN.
• 18:06 THE GENTILE CHURCH HAS TO WAKE UP
• 18:08 THAT THE GOSPEL CAME FROM THE JEWS AND THEY HAVE A TREMENDOUS DEBT TO THE JEWS.
• 18:12 THIS IS WHAT WE TEACH HERE.
• 18:14 THIS IS WHAT WE SEE HAPPENING HERE.
• 18:16 WE HAVE ARABS THAT WE WORK WITH.
• 18:18 WE HAVE ARAB CONGREGATIONS THAT WE GO TO.
• 18:20 WE WORSHIP THE LORD IN HEBREW AND ENGLISH.
• 18:22 WE HAD A RECONCILIATION MEETING WITH AN ARAB CHURCH RECENTLY.
• 18:25 MY WIFE WHO IS JEWISH WAS SINGING IN ARABIC.
• 18:28 GOD IS ABLE TO PUT...TO GRAFT THE NATURAL BRANCHES BACK INTO THE TREE
• 18:35 AND PUT THOSE WILD OLIVE BRANCHES IN THERE IN THE TREE OF ISRAEL
• 18:39 AND THE ROOTS GO ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE PATRIARCHS
• 18:41 AND THE BIBLE AND THE PROPHETS
• 18:43 AND MOST OF ALL THE JEWISH MESSIAH YESHUA.
• 18:46 LET'S GET BACK TO THE WAY IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE AND WATCH A GREAT MOVE OF GOD IN ISRAEL.
• 18:50 AND THEN THE LORD'S GOING TO RETURN
• 18:52 BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO BE LIFE FROM THE DEAD...EVEN TO AMERICA, HALLELUJAH!
• 18:56 AMEN!
• 18:59 (Myles speaking) DAVID'S REFERENCE TO A GREAT MOVE OF GOD HERE IN ISRAEL
• 19:02 IS EXEMPLIFIED IN THIS PRAISE AND WORSHIP BY "THE ONE NEW MAN"...
• 19:05 JEWS...ARABS...GENTILES...
• 19:07 ALL SINGING TOGETHER IN HEBREW...ARABIC...RUSSIAN AND ENGLISH.
• 19:11 IT'S AN AMAZING TIME TO BE TOGETHER WITH THEM
• 19:14 AS THEY PRAISE THE LORD IN MULTIPLE LANGUAGES.
• 19:17 KAREN, DAVID'S WIFE, IS THE WORSHIP LEADER HERE IN KEHILAT HACARMEL.
• 19:23 KAREN, WE KNOW THAT THE INSPIRATION FOR MUSIC COMES FROM THE LORD
• 19:27 BUT COULD YOU TELL OUR VIEWERS SOMETHING ABOUT THE CURRENT EVENTS AND THE BIBLE...
• 19:31 HOW THE INTERPLAY WORKS FOR THAT.
• 19:33 WHEN THE LORD POSITIONED US HERE
• 19:35 ON THE TOP OF MT. CARMEL
• 19:37 HE SAID TO US FROM ISAIAH CHAPTER 42
• 19:40 THAT WE WERE TO SHOUT FROM THE TOP OF THE MOUNTAINS...
• 19:42 TO GIVE GLORY TO THE LORD...
• 19:44 AND HE WOULD GO FORTH AND PREVAIL AGAINST OUR ENEMIES.
• 19:47 AND SO WE UNDERSTAND THAT WE ARE IN THE MIDST OF A SPIRITUAL BATTLE.
• 19:51 AND LIVING IN ISRAEL WE ARE DEFINITELY ON THE FRONT LINE OF THE BATTLE.
• 19:54 SO WE ARE DEALING WITH THE TENSIONS OF CURRENT EVENTS.
• 19:56 WE'RE ALWAYS DEALING WITH WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN TOMORROW.
• 20:01 AS A WORSHIP LEADER SOMETIMES I HAVE TO STAND UP AND LEAD THE CONGREGATION.
• 20:04 AND WE JUST HAD A SUICIDE BOMBING ON THE STREETS OF HAIFA.
• 20:08 AND SO I HAVE TO FIND THAT PLACE IN MY OWN SPIRIT
• 20:13 WHERE I AM ABLE IN SPIRIT AND TRUTH TO LIFT MY HANDS AND SAY "HODU L' ADONAI KI TOV"...
• 20:18 "GIVE THANKS TO THE LORD FOR HE IS GOOD".
• 20:20 AND IT'S ONLY BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD
• 20:22 THAT WE ARE ABLE TO SAY THAT HE IS GOOD IN THE FACE OF HORRORS THAT HAPPEN.
• 20:28 IT'S AMAZING.
• 20:30 AND SO SOME OF THE MUSIC HAS ITS ROOTS AND TRADITION
• 20:32 BUT THEN IT'S INFORMED BY WHAT'S HAPPENING RIGHT NOW SPIRITUALLY.
• 20:36 YES WE'VE BEEN ASKING THE LORD...
• 20:39 SINCE WE'VE BEEN ON THIS MOUNTAIN WE SAID
• 20:41 "LORD RELEASE TO US THE NEW SONGS..."
• 20:45 "THE SOUND OF HEAVEN THAT WILL CARRY THE TEXTURES AND RHYTHMS AND THE SCRIPTURES..."
• 20:50 "THAT IT WILL LAUNCH THE SCRIPTURES LIKE A MISSILE"
• 20:54 "INTO THE PRINCIPALITIES AND POWERS OF DARKNESS"
• 20:56 "TO DECLARE THE WISDOM OF GOD."
• 20:58 SO THE LORD'S BEEN RELEASING TO US NEW SONGS IN HEBREW IN ANSWER TO THAT PRAYER.
• 21:04 BUT MIXED IN WITH THAT
• 21:06 WE ALSO LOVE TO SING TRADITIONAL JEWISH SONGS THAT ARE BASED ON THE SCRIPTURE
• 21:12 LIKE "HINE MA TOV"...
• 21:13 (SINGING) "HINE MA TOV U'MA-NAYIM"...
• 21:16 SUNG AT EVERY JEWISH WEDDING, BAR MITZVAHS...
• 21:18 EVERY JEWISH CELEBRATION...PART OF OUR CULTURE AS JEWISH PEOPLE.
• 21:21 BUT IT'S PSALM 133,
• 21:23 "HOW GOOD AND PLEASANT IT IS FOR BRETHREN TO DWELL TOGETHER IN UNITY".
• 21:28 THERE HE COMMANDS THE BLESSING
• 21:29 AND SO WHEN WE SING THAT WE'RE DECLARING THAT.
• 21:32 AND ACTUALLY WE'RE SINGING THAT IN THE CONTEXT
• 21:35 OF REALLY BEING THE ONE NEW MAN OF JEWS AND ARABS SINGING TOGETHER.
• 21:40 WE HAVE ARABS, MUSICIANS AND PEOPLE IN THE CONGREGATION JOINING IN
• 21:44 TO THESE WONDERFUL JEWISH TRADITIONAL SONGS IN THE LIGHT OF WHAT MESSIAH HAS DONE FOR US.
• 21:50 I'VE ACTUALLY HEARD THAT FROM PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN TO YOUR CONGREGATION.
• 21:54 THEY WOULD SAY, "IT WAS LIKE HEAVEN."
• 21:56 "I HEARD ARABIC AND HEBREW AND ENGLISH AND RUSSIAN ALL BEING SUNG."
• 22:00 YES THAT'S RIGHT.
• 22:01 WE SING THE SONG THAT'S SO WELL KNOWN WHEN DAVID DANCED
• 22:05 "WHEN THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD MOVES ON MY HEART..."
• 22:07 AND WE SING IT IN HEBREW BUT WE ALSO SING IT IN ARABIC...
• 22:10 AND LIKE DAVID DANCED
• 22:12 AND THE ARABS DANCE LIKE DAVID DANCED
• 22:14 AND THEY ARE ACTUALLY BEING BROUGHT INTO AN UNDERSTANDING
• 22:17 THAT THEY TOO ARE GRAFTED IN TO THE OLIVE TREE OF ISRAEL.
• 22:20 AND SO WITH THEIR AWARENESS OF YESHUA COMES A LOVE FOR THE JEWISH PEOPLE?
• 22:25 THAT'S RIGHT...THAT'S RIGHT.
• 22:27 IT'S SOMETHING SUPERNATURAL THAT GOD HAS BEEN DOING IN OUR HEARTS
• 22:31 AND HE DID IT IN MY HEART AS A JEW.
• 22:33 I CAME TO THIS LAND WITH A DEEP BURDEN FOR MY OWN PEOPLE
• 22:38 WITH THE JOY AND LOVE THAT I HAD RECEIVED FROM KNOWING MESSIAH
• 22:42 I WAS SO AWARE OF THE SUFFERING AND THE GRIEF THAT WAS IN THE HEART OF MY OWN JEWISH PEOPLE.
• 22:47 SO WHEN WE ARRIVED HERE,
• 22:49 IRONICALLY, THE FIRST INVITATION THAT MY HUSBAND AND I HAD TO MINISTER
• 22:53 WAS IN AN ARAB CONGREGATION IN GALILEE.
• 22:57 AND WE'RE DRIVING...
• 22:58 WE'RE ON OUR WAY TO THIS LITTLE MEETING
• 23:00 AND I SUDDENLY REALIZED THAT MY HEART WAS COLD TOWARD THE ARABIC PEOPLE.
• 23:05 AND I SAID TO MY HUSBAND, "I CAN'T GO IN THERE AND SING IN THE SPIRIT TRUTH."
• 23:11 "AND I DON'T FEEL ANYTHING FOR THESE PEOPLE."
• 23:13 "I DIDN'T COME HERE FOR THEM, IN FACT, THEY'RE MY ENEMIES AND THEY DON'T EVEN WANT ME HERE."
• 23:17 AND SO WE PULLED THE CAR OVER,
• 23:19 WE STOPPED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WE BEGAN TO PRAY
• 23:21 AND I SUDDENLY GOT THE SCRIPTURE FROM MATTHEW CHAPTER 5
• 23:26 IN VERSE 46, IT SAYS,
• 23:28 "HOW ARE YOU ANY DIFFERENT FROM THE TAX COLLECTOR IF YOU ONLY LOVE YOUR OWN BROTHERS?"
• 23:32 AND THE LORD WAS SAYING "I AM CALLING YOU TO A HIGHER CALL THAN THAT."
• 23:37 AND I WENT IN AND I HEARD ARABIC SUNG FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE AS A LANGUAGE OF LOVE.
• 23:44 IT'S A LANGUAGE OF BEAUTY.
• 23:46 AND MY HEART CHANGED.
• 23:47 THERE ARE TIMES WHEN...
• 23:48 WE JUST HAD A SUICIDE BOMBING FOR INSTANCE
• 23:51 OR THE ROCKETS ARE COMING IN FROM HEZBOLLAH
• 23:53 AND MY WAY OF POURING OUT MY HEART BEFORE THE LORD
• 23:58 IS USUALLY TO COME TO THE KEYBOARD AND JUST BEGIN TO PLAY...
• 24:02 BEGIN TO MOVE MY HANDS IN A CHORD PATTERN AND WAIT ON THE LORD.
• 24:08 AND OFTEN WHAT WILL HAPPEN IS A SCRIPTURE COMES...
• 24:10 JUST COMES INTO MY SPIRIT AND I REALIZE THAT THAT'S WHAT THE SONG IS ABOUT.
• 24:15 AND IT'S AN ANSWER...
• 24:16 IT'S A RESPONSE OF THE SPIRIT TO WHAT WE'RE FACING.
• 24:19 WE NEED TO SING A CERTAIN WORD
• 24:21 AND IT'S THE WORD OF GOD THAT BRINGS LIGHT.
• 24:26 THE ENTRANCE OF HIS WORD BRINGS LIGHT.
• 24:27 AND THAT WE CAN STAND IN HOPE AND FAITH IN THE MIDST OF DARKNESS.

• 26:00 SINCE MEETING DAVID AND KAREN DAVIS
• 26:02 WE'VE REALLY PICKED UP THE CALL TO MINISTER
• 26:04 AS THE ONE NEW MAN TO THE ONE NEW MAN.
• 26:07 IN FACT, BACK IN OUR HOME CONGREGATION
• 26:09 WE'VE WORKED TOGETHER WITH WALID SHOEBAT, AN EX-P.L.O. TERRORIST;
• 26:13 AND HORMOZ SHARIAT, AN IRANIAN PASTOR
• 26:16 WHO PREACHES THE GOSPEL INTO PERSIA
• 26:18 AND EVEN A LOCAL ARAB PASTOR HAS STOOD WITH ME
• 26:21 IN ORDER TO PROCLAIM THE GOOD NEWS
• 26:23 JEW AND GENTILE TOGETHER.
• 26:24 RIGHT...WE HAD A CONFERENCE CALLED "THE ONE NEW MAN"
• 26:26 AND WE SAW A MUSLIM WOMAN,
• 26:28 THAT WHEN SHE FIRST CAME WE WERE A LITTLE AFRAID
• 26:30 BUT GOD DID SUCH A WORK IN HER HEART THAT HE REALLY HEALED HER OF HER HATRED
• 26:34 AND ACTUALLY GAVE HER A FULL DESIRE
• 26:37 TO SEE THE JEWISH PEOPLE IN THEIR LAND IN A PRAYER OF THAT.
• 26:41 IT'S AMAZING WHAT GOD CAN DO WHEN WE WORSHIP HIM THE WAY HE CALLS US TO WORSHIP HIM.
• 26:46 AND SO AS WE GO TODAY WE WANT TO REMIND YOU
• 26:49 SHA'ALU SHALOM YERUSHALAYIM
• 26:51 PRAY FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM
