Our Father has spoken to me in several ways, but one most curious is when I first came to know Him in Jesus Christ.
I went from my university to the Rockies to read the Word for the very firsttime thrugh. I would share teh gospel with anyone who would hear me, and I spoke it to the univers, that is to say when I wuld read I would read aloud though quitely for the universe to hear. (Istill do).
When winter would arrive or be close i WOULD GO TO Madison, Wisc..THEN DOWN TO MY ALMA MATER IN Illinois.
My last year on this circuit something odd began to happen. My ver good friend at the Uof I asked me, knowing I was in Messiah, "Jack, would you go with Moira and me when we get married to Jerusalem? That is if we can pay your wayP" The idea to me was most inviting, but I declined............this was to be on their honeymoon...wow!
Next a former co-worker, knowing my passion for reading and sharing the Word, asked if he could "send me to Israel." Again, though very tempted, I declined.
Finally, back in the mountains a person with who Ihad shared the Word asked if I would accompany him on a world tour of what he thought of as holy places which I also declined because there really are no holy places on this earth except the hearts of all who believe.
Now I was beginning to feel God did not want me in the mountains anymore, so I asked Him if it was His idea gor me to go to Israel. I mentioned I had declined the three offers for oneunderlying reason though there certaily were more, ad that reaon was sI flt perhaps the enemy knowing my penchant for loving travel may have beentempting me.
So I said to the Lord, I am going to do that open the book and point routine , and if you want me to go to Israel, please tell me.
I opened the Book, the Bble, and I pointed, and God told me to go, for it said, adn David asked, shall I go up to the land of Judeah, and the Lord answoered, God up, go up to Hebron..............I did.......it was wonderful
Now the conversation did not end there but continued with several of what people may call miracles, but for us they are the norm. All blessings in Jesus Christ, Yeshiva.
