It's Supernatural

Sid: Getting ready to blow the grandest shofar; oh the grandest trumpet. I mean when else should we do it then the Feasts of Trumpets Rosh Hashanah that began last night. And today is Rosh Hashanah.  My guests are Gennady and Svetlana they are Russian Jews that are red-hot for the Messiah living in Canada right now.  And Gennady and Svetlana host the Russian version of our evangelism show for Jewish people on secular radio in Israel.  It’s in the Russian language, that’s why their hosting it, and Russian Jews large numbers are listening to this and they write for this which is the Russian version which has all the facts they need to know why Jesus is the Messiah and it’s presented to them by a Russian Jewish believer from a local Jewish congregation in Israel or a congregation in Germany. We want to spread this throughout the world. And on yesterday’s broadcast Gennady we found out that, although you came from an atheistic background, that you did not believe in the supernatural a Christian couple befriended you when you and your wife moved there.  And started teaching you the basics of the Bible the exact type of thing that you’re doing now with large numbers of Russian Jews through Messianic Vision.  But the thing that attracted you was the supernatural, you saw miracles.  And this is what will attract the Russian Jews because Gennady moves in supernatural words of wisdom and knowledge. And although this is a brand new venture I believe that many many Russian Jews are going to get supernaturally healed as Gennady moves in these words of knowledge. And we found out that Gennady moves in these words of knowledge and wisdom.  And we found out that Gennady had a vision for the first time and as a result of that he received the Messiah. But then the pull of the world, the secular, drew him towards wanting him to be a rock and roll recording artist and he had a contract.  And he had his record and all of a sudden he was in an automobile accident and he heard the word of God. What did God say to you Gennady?

Gennady: Well, the Lord said to me “I have fulfilled what you’ve been looking for but you never kept your word.” When I heard this everything else fell off of me. All of the desires, all that has been in past with this studio and everything else it just became nothing.  And when I came out of the car all of a sudden I saw a fellow he was about maybe 20 – 25 years old.  He came out of nowhere, white shirt, black pants I remember that a lot of people were there to help us. But he came to me and he said “You need to come back go God.”  How did he know me, he never met me. I think Sid that it was an angel, you know what I mean.  We talk about…

Sid: It had to be.

Gennady: Yeah, if you’re talking about supernatural God was pouring on me supernatural from the time I begin to ask Him with the visions and everything else and God spoke to me with audible voice in the car.  And then He sent me an angel.  I mean God didn’t want to let me go for some strange reason.  And then within a week… I mean after this car accident I didn’t care about my car anymore.  The desire in my heart was to come back to these people that led me to the Lord and I wanted to go through mikvah and by the way it’s water baptism. I wanted to make a commitment this time that I am standing with God that I’m not going to move anywhere.  So I run to their house and when they saw me and when they heard my testimony they cried because they prayed for me since April till that time they were praying for me so that I may come back to God.  And I believe that just the Lord didn’t allow me to depart.  And then within next week they have arranged for me to have a mikvah. And that’s when the miracle took place in my wife’s life.

Sid: I’ll tell you what let’s put Svetlana on right now; I want to find out what happened to this atheistic Russian Jew.

Svetlana:  Hello.

Sid: Hi Svetlana.

Svetlana: Hi.

Sid: Now when your husband heard this audible voice and he said “He wants to go through the mikva,” baptism, what did you think?

Svetlana: Well, I didn’t know nothing what he wanted to do because he didn’t share with me.  The only time that he shared with me was when we were having breakfast with our friends and he was more bold when they were around.

Sid: (Laughing)

Svetlana:  (Laughing) So he said you know Svetlana I would like to have a water baptism today.  And I was terrified, Sid I was just amazed you know I couldn’t speak because I was speechless because as a Jewish person he going to have a water baptism.  To me it was finished, to me I felt that Gennady had just canceled his Jewishness, canceled his Jewish roots.  Like Sid he just separated himself that was so dear to me and I was really upset for his decision but I didn’t say anything to them.  And I said “Okay, it’s fine with you, it’s fine with me.”  And I remember we went to the place and we had mikvah and everybody was holding hands and praying together.  I was just speechless, I was very unhappy I didn’t feel very good because I felt I don’t belong there you know.  Because I was trying to find myself, find my Jewishness in the going to synagogue involving social activities and you know in trying to be a good part of… trying to be a good Jewish person. Do as much as I can for my Jewish community but here my husband is just doing something strange, he’s behaving weird and I’m very very upset and I’m very confused.

Sid: Now when you got home and you talked to Gennady how did you two react?

Svetlana: Not very good, (Laughing) not very good honestly I was very confused; I tried to read my Bible.  That’s the time when I started really started seeking for something because I saw very big change in Gennaday’s life and Gennaday’s behavior. I saw a change and I was jealous inside.

Sid: Well Svetlana you had all of these questions that were going on inside of you and so you get together with your husband and this couple again that had been witnessing to both of you and what happened?

Svetlana: What happened we came home late and I was very tired and from information and I really was exhausted and I went to bed and Gennady went to his room to pray.  And guess what, the next morning I get up and I said “Gennady you know what I have to share with you something I had a very strange dream to share with you.”  And he said “Yeah, what’s happened tell me.”  And I began to tell him the dream. The dream was that I was sitting in a big country house very lonely and the house didn’t have any windows only one door.  And I was sitting in depression and desperation knowing that my life was empty and I couldn’t find any answer to any questions in my life. And nobody could answer me. It was just the thought of despair, total despair; total depression and total disappointment of everything.  And suddenly I heard the knock on the door just real small knock of the door.  And I opened the door and I saw a man who was dressed like I knew that it was Yeshua, I never saw Him anywhere but somehow in my heart in the deepest heart of heart I knew it was Yeshua.  He looked at me very straight with His eyes full of compassion and full of love and full of wisdom.  He came to me with His open hands, He stretched His hands to me and I saw the mark of the nails.  He said “Come to Me My child and I will give you rest.”  And you know Sid I was amazed, I said “Gennady what does this mean?”  I never read the Bible I never heard this words. I didn’t even know what does it mean.  And when I told him that He said “Yeshua came to you, he said “Praise God I was praying for you and He answered my prayer and now you believe that He’s God.” Yes, I believe that Yeshua is God, He’s my Messiah He came to me.  He came personally to Me!”  I was so happy Sid and we were rejoicing with Gennady because he was amazed how fast God opened…

Sid: How fast he answered that prayer. You know Svetlana I’m reminded of the Russian Jewish atheist that was a little girl and she had such a fear of death.  What about now?

Svetlana: No I don’t have any fear of death because I know that when I go there I’m going to see Jesus Yeshua who will meet me there.

Sid: You know Svetlana today is Rosh Hashanah between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur we Jewish people pray and fast and go to the Synagogue that our name would be inscribed in the Book of Life, and we just believe the lie. And it is a lie and we’re told that just because we’re Jewish we’re okay and we go to the synagogue on Yom Kippur and everything is fine.  Well, I tell you that Jewish people are hungering and thirsting to know the truth more than ever before the spiritual scales are off of our eyes. And it is absolutely essential that you share Jesus with the Jewish person that God Himself has had cross your path. I mean we’re at the fullness of the Gentile age. Paul says “The spiritual scales will come off of the eyes of Jewish people” but it’s not an accident that Jewish person that Jewish person that God has had cross your path.  This week only I’m taking the book that God told me in a prophetic dream He came to me and He said “Sid, write this book of 10 Jewish testimonies and more Jewish people will come to know me than anything that you have ever done.”
