SID: Most people have heard of God’s laws, spiritual laws for healing, and rightfully so, and spiritual laws for finances. All over the place, you hear this. But where do you hear about God’s spiritual laws for evangelism. Right here, right now, in the Bible. When God the Father wanted to reach the whole world, because God so loved the whole world, Jews and gentiles, He started with what people group? Abraham, the Jews. Am I right? All right. When Jesus wanted to reach the whole world, he started with one people group. He said, “I’ve only come for the lost sheep of the House of Israel,” as a starting point, as a seed. God planted a seed with Abraham. Jesus planted a seed with the Jewish people. How about the apostle to the gentiles, Paul? When Paul wanted to reach the gentiles, because that was his call, this is what he says in Romans 1:16: “I’m not ashamed of the Gospel because the Gospel is the power of God unto salvation, to everyone who believes, to the Jew first.” He knew that if he planted that seed it would produce a harvest of gentile souls. This is what I have found. When I operate in the law of evangelism, wherever I go, if I will go to the Jew first it will open up a supernatural door to reach more gentiles than if I went to the gentile first. Makes no sense to the peanut brain, but makes lots of sense to God. Now the greatest revival the world has ever seen we haven’t had yet, because in Amos, Chapter 9, Verse 11 and 13, it’s described, and this is what God says: “In the last days I will raise up the Tabernacle of David”, and in the Hebrew, the word “tabernacle” is family or house of David. Who’s the family of David? The Jewish people. “In the last days I’m going to raise up the Jewish people to be mighty warriors for me, to be mighty evangelists of the Living God.” And then he explains in Amos, the 13th Verse, “A revival like the world has never seen.” He says, “There will be so much fruit on the vine that by the time it comes to till the ground for the next year’s harvest, you won’t have picked all the fruit from the last year’s harvest.” The world has never seen a revival like this. The world needs a revival like this. When is it going to happen? When the tabernacle, when the family of David is restored to our God. Now even the return of Jesus is contingent on Jewish people coming to the Lord. Jesus said, “For I say to you,” in Matthew 23:39, “For I say to you, you shall see me no more until you say [Hebrew], blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.” He’s talking to the Jewish people. I’m not going to return until you recognize me. I don’t know if you’ve ever seen all these scriptures one after another. But then I was speaking just a few days ago at a Bible study and I had a whole group of Liberty University students there. And one raised their hand and had a question. Well I take it back. He didn’t. I’m beginning to see things in the invisible world. I saw him raise a hand. He didn’t want to. So I went to this session here, there’s someone with a hand. And sure enough, he raised his hand and he said, “Sid,” and he quoted the scripture, Acts 18, Verse 6-8, when Paul had it up to here with his Jewish brethren, this is what he said: “But when they opposed him and blasphemed he shook his garments and said to them, ‘Your blood be upon your own heads. I’m clean. From now on I’m going to the gentiles.'” See, even Paul finished with the Jewish people. Wrong. Keep reading. The next verse says he moved into a house. You know where the house was? Next door to the synagogue. And you know what happened? The next thing happens, the president of the synagogue becomes a believer in Jesus. And you know the next thing that happened? Everyone else became a believer in Jesus. Have you ever been like that? I’m not going to do that any more and then you repent. Even the next chapter, that was Acts 18, Acts 19:8 says, and it’s talking about Paul, “He went into the synagogue and spoke boldly for three months reasoning and persuading concerning the things of the Kingdom of God.” I’m so glad we have the Word of God. Now are Jewish people saved under the Old Covenant? Don’t they have a covenant with God? Of course we do. And the gifts of calling with God are without repentance. However, the Old Covenant is contingent on Leviticus 17, Verse 11, which says, “For the life of the flesh is in the blood and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls. For it is the blood that makes atonement for the soul.” Without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness of sin. Well wait a second. What about just have an animal sacrifice. Well first of all, according to Leviticus, the first chapter, the third verse says the sacrifice has to be in the temple. And if you look lately, there’s no temple in Jerusalem. And Acts 4:12 cinches it. “Nor is there salvation in any other. For there is no other name under Heaven given among men in which we must be saved but the name of Jesus.” Well do Jewish people not believe in Jesus? There’s an old Hasidic story about a Talmudic student who goes to his rabbi and says, “O Master, I love you.” The rabbi responds with a question: “Tell me, do you know what hurts me?” The young man is bewildered. He’s taken aback. “Why do you ask me such a confusing question when I just told you that I love you?” The rabbi shakes his head, “Because, my friend, if you do not know what hurts me how can you say you love me.” If you study the history of the Christian church, you will find that we don’t have a good history with Jewish people. There’s been misunderstandings on the Christian side and misunderstandings on the Jewish side. Everyone has heard that the Jewish people are the chosen people. But what are we chosen for? Three things. Isaiah 43:10 says, “You are my witnesses.” By the way, do you know where the word “Jew” comes from? A Hebrew word, which is “Yehuda”, which means “a praiser of God”. The Jewish people are called to be witnesses, praisers of God and super end time evangelists. Zachariah 8:23: “Thus says the Lord of hosts, in those days 10 men from every language of the nations,” that’s the gentles, “shall the grasp the sleeve, the fringes of a Jewish man saying, let us go with you, for we have heard that God is with you.” And you have just been given enough truth to be on the right side of the fence in reference to what God is doing in the last days. And as I said earlier, I say again, if you have it wrong on God’s position on the Jew, someone’s neck has just been healed, someone’s hip has just been healed, someone’s back has just been healed. If you have any of those problems stand up and bend over. Stand up right now. Get your healing and keep it. Stand up right now. Come on. You at home, stand up right now. You’re getting your healing if you stand up and test it. Move your back, move your neck. You’ll see.
