Getting Back to the Hebrew Roots
Every Monday
evening we have been attending a class taught be a Messianic Jew who
ended up here in Pohnpei. He and his wife have become dear friends of
ours and I cruise around with this friend almost every day, asking YHWH
where to go and who to minister on that given day. They ended up here on
the island of Pohnpei because YHWH told them to sell everything back in
the U.S., buy a boat and sail here from Seattle. As we see the plan of
Elohim unfolding before our very eyes, we realize that our paths didn't
cross accidentally. For there are no accidents in the Kingdom of God.

One morning I
came out and saw that the tire on our car was flat. I called our friend
Johnny, as I didn't have a spare yet, and asked if he could take me to
the tire repair shop in town. So Johnny and I removed the tire, put it
in his car, and then headed to town. When we got to the tire repair
shop, up came a man with a white beard who could very well fit the role
of a Hebrew Bible character of old. We began to talk and immediately hit
it off. I asked him if I could meet him later that day and he agreed.
Come to find out, the tire had no leak. Someone had let the air out. To
this day, we think it may have been the Ruach Hakodesh, or Holy Spirit
that let the air out of our tire, just so that I could cross paths with
this awesome man of faith. Ever since that day, we hang out together all
the time. He and his wife have blessed us tremendously!

On Monday
nights we have been studying the Temple furniture and will start
studying the Holy of Holies next week. A group of about twenty
Yeshua-lovers that are hungry for more of Adonai gather together in a
small house not far from our apartment. It is so important that we
remember the Hebrew roots in Scripture and we must understand that the
Bible was written from the Hebrew mindset as nearly every author was
Jewish. The entire New Testament makes so much more sense in light of
this. We are thoroughly enjoying these studies.

On another
note, it is interesting that the only nation in the world that doesn't
need a visa, but only a passport to stay in Israel is the Federated
States of Micronesia. I believe that this is because of their unwavering
support of Israel. It's not coincidental that we live in the only place
in the world with this sort of allegience to Israel. There is a divine
connection between Micronesia and Israel. We will continue to pursue
what that divine connection means for us more as we continue our journey
as missionaries here in Pohnpei and worldwide.
