TIKVAH YISRAEL

COMMENTS FROM

RABSTOR & DELILAH

Shalom From Delilah and Robert;

Christmas and Hanukkah are upon us. We at Hope of Israel and Tikvah Yisrael Messianic Ministries have witnessed many miracles this year. We have seen people miraculously saved from death including two of our family being assaulted by criminals only to be let go without a scratch after calling on the Name of the Lord. We cannot leave out the miracles in the life of the Fear family whose grandson Daniel was plucked from the clutches of the Enemy and brought to life. Your prayers for their entire family succeeded in being part of the blessing of restoration of their daughter Lauren and her children Josiah and Daniel.

We have seen our congregational meetings increase in size and media scope. Chris Bellville, our communication and media gift from the Lord hasn’t hesitated to move us to the next level. We look forward to this new year and the innovations we will see from Chris and those who help him, especially his son Joshua.

We have had our losses such as the passing of Hazel York, James Anderson and Mike Brooks’ dad Lee. They will be missed but fondly remembered.

We have had visits from Rabbi Jack Zimmerman and were blessed by the music of Ted Pearce and his sons. We look forward to having them back with us soon.

Great thanks to Pastor Aaron and the people of Mt. Pleasant United Methodist Church for their acceptance of our presence and making it possible for us to move to the Wide-Eyed Café, an invitation that has been extended to us through 2009.

I can’t thank our webmaster, Mike Brooks, enough. His tireless work has made our communication much better this year. We are looking forward to even greater things from our website in 2009.

But most of all I want to thank each and every one who week in and week out stand together as a “Mishpocha”, caring for each other as I know our Lord and Savior is constantly blessed by. I encourage you to get to know the new people that the Lord continues to send to our family.

Matthew 16;19, Y’shua says “I give you the keys to the kingdom, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”

I say to you bind any darkness, bind lack of finances, bind the lack of good health, bind the fear of the spoken poverty in our nation, bind the fear of the end of times.  I say to you to loose the power of love, forgiveness, giving, faith  and peace to all on this earth.

If your words were a container, let them carry faith.  Your words are your power, be it for the better or the worse. (From Delilah)

May the God of Heaven bless you and the Spirit of His Son in you. Shalom, Shalom.

Delilah and Robert
