In the world, there are those who would sooner believe in a God who would smite them than a God who loves them.

In this correspondence, He’s given me an opportunity to exonerate Him as I testify of His love, declaring with the disciples in Acts 4:20, “For I cannot but speak the things which I have seen and heard.”

In early July, I received a call from Rabbi Moshe Laurie saying that the Lord was practically yelling at him to go to Connecticut and pray for me. Through his obedience to God’s specific direction, which meant traveling without his wife Martha – which he hadn’t done in 9 ½ years – spiritual warfare was engaged and healing was released.

The attack upon my body was diagnosed as a ‘frozen shoulder.’ In obedience to the Lord, Rabbi laid hands upon me and my shoulder blade realigned 2 inches. I could then raise my arm as much as 8 inches where before I could hardly lift it at all. The healing continues to become manifest day by day as I move in faith.

While in Connecticut, Rabbi and I went about sounding the shofars and taking dominion. It wasn’t any ‘organized movement’ but rather taking dominion throughout the course of the day, where ever the Lord led us. When we did banking, shopping visiting etc – the everyday activities now were elevated to the time for taking dominion and sounding the shofars.

As we sounded, we would often have people come and ask us about what the shofars were and what we were doing, which gave Rabbi the opportunity to minister and share the good news of Yeshua, Jesus.

One instance of sounding the shofar clearly revealed the need for spiritual warfare in the body of Christ overall. As we sounded, a couple came over. The woman asked about the shofars. As Rabbi explained the Scriptural references and significance of them, he started to say “So, if you hear this sound and no one is around, you better …” and she cut him off and said, “Run!” “No … look up.” he said, finishing his sentence.

The reason that this encounter reveals the need in the Body of Christ is that this woman told us that she is a deacon of a local church!

Through prayer and the sounding of the shofars to take dominion, a man with a collapsing spine suffering nerve damage in his right hand, causing it to be so spasmodic as to be unusable for the past 2 years, was healed.

The significance to this healing was that as the Rabbi prayed ‘cellular regeneration’, his hands heated up to the point of being painful. Rabbi shared afterward that in all the years that he has been praying for others, this had never happened before.

Because of the degree of warfare that the Lord was releasing through us, He told Rabbi that the battle had to be brought to Illinois. Rabbi asked that I pray about going with him.

When the Lord brought me to the place of recognizing that it was His direction to go, I let the Rabbi know. This was on a Monday. He was going back on Wednesday. The Lord opened up a way for me to not only go on the same plane as Rabbi but there was still a sale price available that would normally have been snapped up weeks before, when it was first offered.

That night in my Scriptural reading, the Lord gave me the following:

(Marginal note: The promise of swift passage to, and conquest of, the land)

“Behold! I send an angel before you to protect you on the way, and to bring you to the place that I have made ready. Beware of him – hearken to his voice, do not rebel against him, for he will not forgive your willful sin – for My Name is within him. For if you hearken to his voice and carry out all that I shall speak, then I shall be the enemy of your enemies and persecute your persecutors.”

Stone Tanach Exodus 23:20-22

When we arrived in Illinois, the spiritual warfare continued. Again, wherever we went, the shofars were sounded and dominion was taken in the Lord’s Name.

In the first service at Congregation Adat Ariel, Rabbi’s congregation in Illinois, we shared the testimony of what had been going on so far. Rabbi prayed for healing for one brother and by the time he got back to his seat, he found that he had received a healing for his right arm.

Another brother, who was raising his arms up in praise and worship at this, realized with a start that he hadn’t been able to raise his hands over his head like that without pain for the last 2 years!

Another believer called her sister to see if she would want Rabbi to come to where she was and pray. She said yes.

This woman was an ice dancer with her husband. He recently dropped her on her head and she was now in the hospital with head, spinal and jaw injuries as a result.

When we went to Indiana, where she was located, and entered her room, she was in a brace from under her neck to at least mid torso, as far as we could see. She was only moving her toes and she couldn’t turn her head but followed with her eyes.

He prayed for her – he prayed for the Lord’s shalom - peace - to come and kept his hands over her.

When the Lord directed him to finish, she was moving her legs at the knees – lifting them –and could turn her head to follow whoever was speaking to her. She was a fierce believer and had faith that her healing would come, which is why she agreed to have Rabbi come and pray.

As a witness, I can tell you that as Rabbi spoke peace to her, it permeated the whole room –going out like ripples on the pond. I felt my body and spirit melt into a peace that was immediate and tangible.

The woman in the bed next to her ended up asking for prayer also!

And so it is that the Lord doesn’t make one-sided blessings!

When we left, Martha and I looked at Rabbi’s hands. They were still very hot, mottled deep red and white, and had a glistening sheen upon them. They looked like they were covered with oil – which they were but it was from the move of the Holy Spirit being released through him.

One of the things that Rabbi shared in that first service at Adat was the teaching of the Centurion – that the word of spiritual authority from Yeshua/Jesus was enough to heal from afar. A sister at that service took the teaching to heart. She received a call from her mother the next day, saying she was in great pain. The sister prayed for her from afar. She received a call from her mother the following day saying that she was now pain free.

There are numerous other examples of the healing that was released. If I tried to capture them all here, this would go on for quite a while. But the common denominator was that God, in His loving devotion to them all, met them where they were at, revealing His intimate relationship with them through believers willing to stand on His Word and take dominion.

Also, the key to all this is that the people who were healed not only believed, but acted upon that belief. They had faith and then put it into action!

It is what must be done in these days. Faith needs to abide in action, as directed by the Lord. There are no gray areas anymore. What that translates into Scripturally is that God’s blessings and cursings are upon the table. While the consequences have always been high, they are now more immediate.

I want to encourage you all that read this. The Lord is releasing Himself to all who trust in Him and His Word.

In Numbers 10:9 in the Stone Tanach, it says:

“When you go to wage war in your land against an enemy who oppresses you, you shall sound short blasts of the trumpets, and you shall be recalled before HaShem, your God, and you shall be saved from your foes.”

“... recalled before HaShem ...” means that HaShem will remember you. Rabbi shared that this doesn’t mean that He ever forgot you but that He will, from your action here, remember that you remembered to call upon Him in time of need. You trusted in Him to deliver you and He won’t forget that.

I encourage all of you to act in such a way as to give HaShem the opportunity to remember that you trusted in Him. Go forth in courage and strength that only the Lord can give. Take up the mantle of Grace and do that which the Lord commands you in this time of spiritual warfare ... hear from the Lord and do, brothers and sisters.

There is a peace that abiding in the Lord’s will gives you that enables you to continue on in what ever assignment – what ever trial – what ever crisis – what ever the day deals you – with conviction and steadfastness so that you may run the race to completion.

Remember – winning for us means, often times, continuing to the finish and not turning away or giving up.

Be encouraged in the Lord. Let the fire of the Holy Spirit rise up within you. Take your place as believers in the One True Living God, unwilling to submit or give way to the enemy of life. Rise up and take dominion in the way you were created to do.
