We're on the top of Mount Carmel where
Elijah the prophet called down the fire and
the people fell on their face and said,
the Lord, he is God, the Lord, he
is God.
Well, the fire is starting to fall on
Mount Carmel again.
The presence of God is returning to Israel
and Mount Carmel.
Jews and Arabs are turning to the Lord
here more than any time since the book
of Acts.
Communities, residential communities of Jews and Arabs coming
off of life-controlling problems.
Women's shelter for refugees and for battered women,
Jews and Arabs together.
Yes, the fire is falling again.
The valley behind me here, awesome things are
about to happen there too.
This is the Jezreel Valley.
Megiddo is around the corner.
And most Bible scholars believe this is where
there's about to be a tremendous battle of
armies coming against Israel.
Armies from the nations.
The Lord will intervene.
It will impact all the nations, particularly Europe
and Germany.
So it's most important that we know what
God is doing in Israel now and what
he's about to do.
So join me now, if you will, the
series of messages on Israel, the nations and
the end times.
Many, many years ago, before some of you
young people were born, I was an actor
in New York City.
And one time I was in a Broadway
play that happened to be about the Holocaust.
So I was studying the Holocaust as an
actor would.
I was not a believer.
I didn't know the Lord.
And one night I went home.
I had everything the world had to offer.
I had worked very hard to get where
I was.
And.
I went home.
And this thought came to my mind.
It doesn't mean anything.
My life.
I was devastated.
And I knew I was lost.
So I went out to try to find
God.
And after some time, an actor friend of
mine said, there's a group of actors and
dancers and singers and models.
Who have a meeting in a recording studio
on Broadway in Times Square where you make
recordings.
And the Holy Spirit is being poured out
there.
I didn't even know what that meant.
But I had read Acts chapter two and
what had happened to Peter when he got
filled with the Holy Spirit.
He was radically changed.
And the scripture said, this is for you
and your family and for all those that
were far off.
And I said, well, I'm certainly far off
and I need this.
So I wasn't sure what it was all
about.
But I was hungry to find God.
So this young man took me to an
upper room.
Where the recording studio was and all these
people were in there worshiping Jesus.
They were African-Americans, they were white people,
they were Asian people, they were Jews, they
were Gentiles.
And I'd never heard a sound quite like
that.
And as someone was taking me to my
chair.
All of a sudden.
I couldn't stand up.
And I fell on my knees.
And I started to weep.
I didn't know what was happening to me.
And I wept and I sobbed and I
wept and I wept.
And it was like things were breaking inside
of me.
And everyone else was just praising Jesus.
I think the guy that brought me there
is probably saying, well, what happened to him?
And when I looked up down on my
knees through my tears.
I met Jesus.
He's all white.
And I was dirty.
And I knew it.
And in my heart, I said, I'm sorry.
And the wonder of wonders.
I knew I was forgiven.
I felt this huge weight like a safe.
Lifted off of my back.
And it was gone.
The guilt was gone.
The condemnation was gone.
I struggled into a chair and tried to
figure out what had happened to me.
And everything that man said, he was an
actor who was preaching.
It was about me.
And I realized God was talking to me.
Shortly after that, I got filled with the
Holy Spirit.
I was on the floor again, weeping and
sobbing.
All of a sudden I was singing in
another language and crying out to the Lord.
The elders were giving me paper towels.
Finally, they gave me the whole roll.
And I just kept weeping and weeping.
And it was the fire of the love.
The all-consuming love of God for a
wretch like me.
It's overwhelming that the God of the universe
would love me and come and get me
in New York City.
And that Jesus died for me long before
I knew anything about him.
It was just overwhelming.
And I would read in the scriptures.
I got so hungry for the word of
God.
I felt robbed.
Why hadn't anyone told me about this?
Why didn't I know earlier?
And the scripture said, if the same spirit
that raised Jesus from the dead dwells in
your mortal body, you have life in your
body.
Hallelujah.
I was new.
I had the life of God in my
body.
I was a temple of the Holy Spirit.
It was overwhelming to me.
I walked through the streets of New York
saying, Old Dave, New David.
Old Dave, New David.
I'm new.
All things are new in Christ.
I was one new man.
Hallelujah.
I was new.
I stopped doing alcohol.
Bang!
It was gone.
Drugs.
Bang!
It was gone.
Lust was gone.
My filthy language.
It was all gone.
I was new.
I was clean.
I was being sanctified.
It was so overwhelming that the power of
God had come down in me.
Hallelujah.
I danced through the streets.
I ran to the Bible studies.
Being famous on television and Broadway and movies.
It didn't matter anymore.
He mattered.
He had come and got me while I
was still a long way off.
The father was looking for me.
He saw me.
He had compassion.
He ran out to me.
Hallelujah.
On Broadway in New York City.
And he put a new robe on me.
I had a robe of righteousness.
I had a garment of praise for a
spirit of heaviness.
Hallelujah.
I had a new ring.
I had new sandals.
My feet were clean.
I walked into the party of God.
I was part of the family of God.
The household of faith, like we are here
tonight.
Hallelujah.
It is the most miraculous, wonderful thing that
we are called to be new.
The word new means pure, fresh, virginal.
Never before touched.
That's what a new creation is.
We are new creations in Christ.
If you know Him.
If you love Him.
If you're walking with Him.
Hallelujah.
Of the most awesome things that were happening
to me, the God of the universe, the
creator was talking to me.
Hallelujah.
God talks to His people.
Jesus knows His sheep.
They know His voice.
I fell in love with Jesus.
I read.
Why hadn't anyone showed me?
Why hadn't I known these were His words?
His love, His compassion.
As He raised people from the dead, as
He walked on the water, as He stopped
the storm, the way He loved those men.
Hallelujah.
I am one new man in Messiah.
Praise the Lord.
As I began to learn to hear the
voice of the shepherd.
It was wonderful.
Go here.
Go there.
Do that.
Don't do that.
A divine counselor.
The creator was my counselor.
I didn't have to go to some psychiatrist
or something that would mess me up anymore.
Hallelujah.
The Lord said, go to Israel.
I'd always had in my heart to go
to Israel even before I was a believer.
I got on a plane and I went
to Israel.
I just, you know, you just obey the
Holy Spirit.
That's all.
I wasn't married.
I could go anywhere I wanted.
So I went.
Came up to Jerusalem.
And as we drove up to Jerusalem, you
know, I'd been to the great capitals of
the world.
I'd been to London and Athens and all
that.
I lived in New York City.
But as we came up to Jerusalem, there
was something about that city.
I started to weep.
What is happening to me?
What does Jerusalem have to do with me?
And I went up on the Mount of
Olives and there I read what happened there.
Jesus wept over Jerusalem.
Then he says very clearly in the scriptures,
he's coming back and stand on the Mount
of Olives.
I was there.
He said he was first come on a
donkey.
It was right there.
Biblical prophecy was being unfolded before my very
eyes.
And I was overwhelmed that we're in this
prophetic moment in these end times before Jesus
comes back.
And he's showing me all this.
The Jews had come back from over a
hundred nations from persecution in Europe and in
Russia and the Ukraine and from the Muslim
world.
They were everywhere.
And as I read in the scriptures, he
who scattered Israel will gather.
I want my God.
This has never happened before.
It's now.
And I was standing in the midst of
all this unfolding.
I kept a journal of everything the Lord
was telling me.
I prayed for an Arab woman in the
old city of Jerusalem and she was miraculously
healed from breast cancer.
The power of God came on her.
I knew it when I prayed for her.
She got a letter from a Jewish doctor.
He was he was staggered that the cancer
was gone.
She wrote me a letter back in America.
I went up on the Mount Carmel.
I asked the Lord to speak to me.
I was reading.
He's the God who answers by fire.
You know what happened?
The fire of God came down on my
car.
The rental car.
I don't know how to describe it except
it was waves of the fire of his
all-consuming jealousy and love for my whole
heart.
And things were breaking up and it just
came in wave after wave after wave.
I couldn't drive.
It went on for a couple of hours.
Somehow I staggered back to New York wondering
what happened to me in Israel.
What is going on with my life?
He had said it's finished.
It's finished to me and up on Mount
Carmel.
So I go back to the recording studio
and there the revival is going.
It was a revival on Broadway.
People were getting saved at every meeting.
I'm watching the worship team.
Worshipping the Lord with that great worship team
and on the worship team was this lady.
Hallelujah.
And I didn't really know her and she
lived with an African-American woman named Mother
Jackson.
They were the funniest couple in New York.
This little African-American woman on fire for
Jesus and this Jewish model singer.
And they would go into a shop or
something and Karen would go mother and she'd
say yes daughter and the whole place would
turn around like what is that all about?
And Mother Jackson said to me I'm an
old lady.
I never had a husband.
God never gave me a husband but he's
given me a daughter and she's a Jew.
Hallelujah.
She used to tell all her friends that
I got a Jewish daughter.
What?
What are you talking about?
So on my birthday I asked Mother Jackson
to go out with me and Karen was
standing next to her.
So to be polite I asked Karen to
come too.
We had a chaperone.
We sat in that restaurant.
Mother Jackson was quiet for the first time
in her entire life I think.
She probably kissed the Blarney Stone somewhere.
She had the gift of gab.
So Karen starts telling me about her love
affair with Jesus reading the song of Solomon
which is about the bridegroom coming for the
bride.
And the ancient rabbis and the rabbis today
know it's about the Messiah coming for the
Jews.
Now we're called to be the bride Jew
and Gentile together.
Hallelujah.
So we know it's for us and it
would be for the Jews when they know
Jesus when they know their Messiah.
So she was in love with Jesus and
I looked at her and the Holy Spirit
said that's your wife.
And I fell in love with her.
Mother Jackson had heard two weeks before that
Karen was going to marry me and I
didn't know it.
Mother Jackson heard the word from the word
of the Lord.
Hallelujah.
So they had this secret so I asked
Karen to go out with me and she
did.
Next night we were in another restaurant and
she told me how as a Jew she
came to Jesus.
Because of Christian, so called Christian anti-Semitism
and persecution of Jews, Jews don't look to
Jesus.
They think he's the enemy.
But this young lady, she had a friend
who got saved in the revival, an actress,
who provoked her to jealousy because of her
beautiful walk with the Lord and the joy
of the Lord.
And she used to just have the joy
of the Lord all the time.
And Karen said and she didn't even have
a boyfriend.
How could anybody be happy without a boyfriend?
Her boyfriend was Jesus.
Hallelujah.
So Karen knocked on her door, said do
you have any advice for me?
My life's a mess.
And she said would you like to pray?
She prayed Jesus come into my heart.
Forgive my sins.
She didn't know what her sins were.
Give me your Holy Spirit.
That sounded good.
Save me.
She didn't know what it meant to be
saved, what she was to be saved from.
And she looked at her friend Camille and
she said Camille, this can't be the only
way.
And Camille looked her in the face and
said it is.
You know what happened?
The spirit of truth went right into her
heart.
It transcended all her arguments, all her mental
stuff, all the New Age junk she'd been
in.
Went right into her heart and she knew
that she knew that it was true.
She took the New Testament upstairs.
Camille gave it to her.
She started reading it and she said oh
my God.
It's all Jewish.
These people are Jews.
A Jew wrote this.
Jesus was innocent.
I didn't know.
It was like a bestseller.
Following what was happening.
When she got to Revelation she was really
blown away.
Hallelujah.
Because we win.
Amen.
Now what we realized, if you want to
turn to Ephesians chapter 2, that not only
were we new creations in Messiah, but in
Ephesians chapter 2, Paul, his Jewish name was
Shaul, Saul.
Paul had been involved in this congregation in
Ephesus, which was a demonic stronghold of the
enemy where idolatry, terrible things were going on
there.
A huge statue of Diana and all these
Romans and Greeks came there.
There was child sacrifice and temple prostitution of
little girls.
Anyway, Paul had gone in there with 12
Jews who were filled with the Holy Spirit
and they turned the city upside down and
a revival broke out.
He went to the synagogue for three months
preaching from the Tanakh, from the Old Testament.
There wasn't any New Testament yet.
They hadn't written it.
And Jews were coming to the Lord and
then some of them got mad.
He went next door.
He got a school and Jews and Gentiles
became part of this congregation.
And it was the one new man of
Jew and Gentile, a dwelling place for God
in the Spirit.
And it impacted all of that part of
Asia.
The miracles started happening.
It was incredible what was going on there.
So Paul, when he's thrown in prison years
later, he gets this download of revelation from
the Holy Spirit in the Ephesian letter.
And he sends this letter back to Ephesus,
which today would be in Turkey.
And here's one of the things that he
wrote them.
Verse 11.
Therefore, remember that you once Gentiles.
He's writing to the congregation in Ephesus that
it is Jews and Gentiles.
And this part is to the Gentiles, the
Greeks and the Romans, Gentiles in the flesh
who are called on circumcision by what is
called the circumcision made in flesh by hands,
that at that time you were without Messiah
Christ being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel
and strangers from the covenants of promise, having
no hope without God in the world.
The Romans and the Greeks knew nothing about
a Messiah.
They knew nothing about the patriarchs.
They knew nothing about the Bible.
They didn't know the prophets.
They didn't know the Psalms.
So they were so far off out in
the wilderness of the nations.
So he says, don't forget where you came
from.
You Greeks and you Romans.
He goes on and says, verse 13.
But now in Christ Jesus, you who once
were far off have been brought near by
the blood of Messiah.
The Jews understood blood sacrifices.
The Gentiles were starting to understand Jesus was
crucified on Passover.
The Passover lambs were being slaughtered.
And he is the Passover lamb who was
slain before the foundation of the world.
Jews began to realize that's who he is.
He is our atonement, the perfect atonement for
our sins.
For the Romans and Greeks, this was difficult
for them to understand.
So he goes on and says, for he
himself is our peace, Yeshua, Jesus, who made
both one.
He has made Jews and Gentiles one.
That's what it says by the cross, by
his blood, by his perfect sacrifice.
So Paul is getting this incredible revelation and
writing it back to these Jews and Gentiles
in what is today Turkey.
He's broken down the middle wall of partition,
having abolished in his flesh the hatred, the
hatred, the enmity between Jews and Gentiles has
already been done away with.
If you come into the Lord, you know
the Lord, you love the Lord, whether you're
Gentile or Jew, you can love one another,
whether you're Gentile or Arab.
Hallelujah.
We have a drug we have for Jews
and Arabs.
This is what happens to them.
This one new man that we're talking about.
And he says at the end of verse
15, to create in himself one new man
from the two, thus making peace.
Jesus reconciled Jews to the Gentiles on the
cross.
He's already made peace, if you'll embrace it,
if you'll receive it.
So he's the peace process.
This is what we need in the Middle
East.
There's a great revival.
You know, there's a million Iranians have come
to the Lord secretly.
Amen.
I mean, they are being bombarded by satellite
television 24 hours a day.
And the leaders I know in the Middle
East, we meet once a year for 16
years.
They embrace Israel.
They're from Muslim nations.
We embrace God's purposes for Egypt, for Iraq.
You know, the 20 new congregations in Baghdad
alone, he's moving all through the Middle East.
15,000 Jews have come to the Lord.
The more Jews have come to the Lord
anytime since the book of Acts.
It's happening right now.
Hallelujah.
And Jews and Gentiles, our congregation.
Karen's a Jew.
Three of her musicians are Arabs.
Her keyboard players are German.
God can reconcile Jews and Germans.
Amen.
Hallelujah.
He can reconcile Jews and Germans.
He can reconcile anybody.
So don't have a problem with your wife.
Get reconciled.
Amen.
Hallelujah.
The ministry of reconciliation.
If you argued with your wife before you
came in here, lay it down here and
don't get in the car and start arguing
again on the way out of here.
Don't leave a meeting and say, as I
was saying, and I'm right, deal with it
here.
Okay.
Sounds like some of you have done that.
We have never done that.
Right, Karen?
She just usually tells me you preach too
long.
So I'm watching.
Hallelujah.
Verse 17.
Verse 16, that he might reconcile them both
to God in one body.
Isn't that amazing?
Jews and Gentiles in one body.
You realize you're worshiping the Lord here with
some Jews.
There's at least one sitting here that I
know of.
Jews and Gentiles, Jews and Arabs worshiping the
Lord on Mount Carmel in the last days.
Jews and Arabs living together in House of
Victory on Mount Carmel.
Only God can do this.
Hallelujah.
It's faith.
And look, you believe what he said and
you walk in it.
He'll do it.
He watches over his word to perform it.
So he goes on and he says, verse
22, in whom you also being built together
for a dwelling place for God in the
spirit.
He's talking about Jews and Gentiles becoming a
dwelling place for God in the spirit.
You know who gets the one new man?
See, the church began as the one new
man.
It's going to, it's being restored all over
the world.
We go to Indonesia.
It's the largest Muslim nation in the world.
The movement that we minister in has 300
,000 people that they know about.
Two of the congregations, one in Jakarta and
one in Medan, has 30,000 people.
They have meetings all over the city.
We're running, we did six meetings on one
Sunday.
You do a meeting in this huge place
where they're worshiping the Lord, jump in a
car, go to, and all of them or
the majority of them are former Muslims, MBBs,
Muslim Background Believers, and they love Israel.
And she sings Kadosh and the roof blows
off the place.
They love to worship the persecuted church all
over the world, China, India.
They love the Jews and they stand on
God's purposes for Israel because they're simple people.
They read it and they believe what it
says.
They don't reject its primary meaning when it
says the dry bones will live the whole
house of Israel.
They know it means Israel.
Now they embrace it for Indonesia too, but
they know that's what's going to happen in
Israel.
Don't reject or neglect the primary meaning of
the word.
It's simple.
You know, big biblical prophecy is simple.
God says it to a prophet.
He writes it down.
Then he does it.
I'm coming on a donkey.
He came on a donkey and be born
in Bethlehem.
He was born in Bethlehem.
It's just simple.
Don't complicate it.
And you can prove it because God's doing
it.
And I'm here to tell you, we're standing
in this prophetic moment now in the end
times when the Jews are starting to turn
to their Messiah and there's going to be
a national repentance.
Hallelujah.
And there's going to be crying out Baruch
Habob and a Shem Adonai.
Blessed is he who comes in the name
of the Lord.
That's what Yeshua said they have to do
before he comes back.
And then he's coming back.
So hallelujah.
We're right on that threshold.
It's happening right now.
Praise God.
Now in Ephesians chapter three, he's talking about
this mystery.
Verse six, the Gentiles should be fellow heirs
of the same body and partakers of the
promise in Christ through the gospel.
He's trying to get these Greeks and Romans
to understand.
You have now moved into the covenant.
You now are you're both adopted into the
kingdom of God.
You're the household of faith.
You're still a Greek.
You're still a Roman.
You're still a Jew, but you are one
by the power of the Holy Spirit.
And that's where the power was released in
Ephesus and all over the Middle East.
So he goes on and he says, this
is the unsearchable riches of Christ.
And he says, this is the stewardship.
He says, I have stewardship of this mystery
of Jew and Gentile, the one new man.
And I'd like to say to you today,
I am a steward.
I'm simply stewards.
Bring you your dinner on a boat or
something.
You know, they manage your affairs.
I'm presenting to you that the church began
as Jew and Gentile.
And it's going to end that way to
this.
That's where the great end time move.
God is going to be because we're in
the time of the restoration of all things.
Praise the Lord.
And the restoration of the nation of Israel
is the great prophetic sign of the 20th
century.
It's never happened before.
This nation shall stand.
He says it all through the scripture because
he has purposes for the salvation of world
through that tiny little nation.
Hallelujah.
Now, if the church began as the one
new man, what happened?
Where did the Jews go?
The Jews brought the gospel to Europe.
They were all Jewish apostles.
Mark brought the gospel to Cairo.
The leaders there tell me Thomas brought it
to India.
He was crucified by Hindus there.
They'd take me to the place where it
happened.
Jewish apostles went out and died all over
the world to bring the gospel to the
Gentiles who were far off, who didn't understand
any of this.
And so what happened to them?
Well, about the second and third century, men's
traditions started to come in to the church
of Jesus Christ.
God forgive us.
The word of God started to be moved
aside.
Traditions and rituals started to come in.
Politics got involved, and the Jews were gradually
finally just put out of the church.
They didn't want the Jews anymore.
They started to say terrible things about the
Jews.
Can you imagine how this could happen among
some of the greatest of the church fathers?
One of the greatest of them, John Chrysostom,
they called him the golden-tongued preacher of
his era.
He said this, God has always hated the
Jews, and all Christians should.
This is a church father.
Go on the Internet and look it up,
John Chrysostom.
He preached these hate-filled messages against the
Jews.
So the people were listening to the fathers,
listening to the leaders.
The people didn't have the New Testament in
their own language yet.
They listened to what the leader said.
Even Martin Luther himself, at the end of
his life, said the Jews poisoned the wells.
They did the ritual murders, therefore destroy their
synagogues.
And he said much worse.
And Hitler quoted Luther and put it in
Mein Kampf.
He said this is our national...
This is the Reformation.
What do we do about all this?
.
