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.
