RABBI SCHNEIDER>>God bless
you, beloved one, and thank
you for joining me on today's
edition of Discovering the
Jewish Jesus where we're going
to Tarakea, Tanzania, where I
was preaching the Gospel on
the ground. First off, I want
to thank those of you that
pray for me in this ministry,
because whenever we go onto
a mission field like this,
especially when witchcraft is
being practiced, we always
face tremendous spiritual
demonic warfare. In fact, on
this trip I came close to
losing my life before I even
delivered my first sermon.
We almost ran out of gas. We
pulled the car aside looking
for somebody to buy gas from.
And as we were on the ground
there, I stepped about 30
yards away from the car. It
was pitch black. I literally
almost fell to my death about
a hundred feet. I looked down,
beloved, and there when I
looked down it was a hole that
was dug. I didn't even see it.
I'm telling you what, that was
just the beginning. We saw
miracles happen, salvations.
We saw the spiritual
atmosphere dramatically change
after the first night as we
alerted our prayer partners
back home to pray. I'm gonna
take you live right now,
beloved, into Tarakea,
Tanzania, for you to witness
some of these things for
yourself. It was a spectacular
time of ministry. God bless
you and once again, thanks for
tuning in to this edition of
Discovering the Jewish Jesus.
(Music)
RABBI SCHNEIDER>>We came to
Tarakea to preach the Gospel,
but I discovered that it was
one of the most beautiful
places on earth that I'd ever
witnessed. From the waterfalls
to the vegetation, it was
magnificent and loudly
declared the glory of God
and the beauty of who he is.
RABBI SCHNEIDER>>I had never
felt such warfare as I did,
beloved, when I got to Tarakea
getting ready to preach this
crusade. When we showed up
that first night, the people
just weren't ready to receive.
We went to prayer and the
second night when we came
back, it was like we were in a
whole new place. The people
received Christ by the
thousands, beloved, and we had
a great night as I preached
the love of God.
RABBI SCHNEIDER>>I'm gonna
pray right now (Translator)
that God would heal you
(Translator) of sickness
(Translator) and disease.
(Translator) I'm gonna have
you put your hand (Translator)
on that part of your body
(Translator) that hurts,
(Translator) that's in pain,
(Translator) where you're,
where you're sick. (Translator)
And I'm gonna pray for Jesus
to touch you (Translator) and
heal you. (Translator)
RABBI SCHNEIDER>>Whenever I
preach a gospel crusade, I
always include praying for the
sick. The reason I do this is
because this is what Jesus did
in his ministry. Often times
we don't hear much teaching
about this. But as you begin
to really look at the Word
of God and study Jesus's
ministries, you'll find out
that everywhere he went he did
three things. He preached the
Gospel. He prayed for the
sick. And he cast out the
spirits. In fact, the most
famous sermon in the New
Testament is called the Sermon
on the Mount. Most of us know
this. What happens, beloved
ones, is as soon as Jesus
comes off the mountain in
Matthew, chapter 7, going
into Matthew, chapter 8, he
immediately backs up what he
just taught by healing the
sick. Just a small sampling,
for example, in Matthew,
chapter 8, verse 2 and 3,
Jesus heals the leper.
Right after coming down the
mountain, right after the
Sermon on the Mount, Jesus
starts healing. We continue on
in Matthew, chapter 8, verse 5
and 6, the centurion comes to
Jesus and says, my servant is
paralyzed. What does Jesus do?
He heals the centurion's
servant. A few verses more,
Jesus goes to Peter's
mother-in-law's house. He
reaches out, beloved, touches
her, the fever leaves her.
And we continue and it all
climaxes in Matthew, 8, verse
16 and 17. Hear the Word of
God: When evening came, they
brought to Him many who were
demon-possessed; and He cast
out the spirits with the Word,
now get this, and healed all
who were ill. This was to
fulfill what was spoken
through Isaiah the prophet.
And then Matthew quotes
Isaiah, chapter 53, verse
4 and 5. He continues: He
Himself took our infirmities
and carried away our diseases.
Now I want you to get this.
The Bible says that Jesus
healed all that were sick.
After preaching this most
famous sermon, the Sermon on
the Mount, he backs it up by
healing all that were sick.
Now what does Matthew do? He
tells us that the reason that
Jesus did this, listen, was
to fulfill what was spoken
through the prophet Isaiah, in
Isaiah, chapter 53, verse 4
and 5. When we go to Isaiah,
chapter 53, verse 4 and 5,
what we actually read about
there, beloved ones, is the
atonement. We read about what
Jesus did for us when he died
on the cross for us. And what
Isaiah tells us is that when
Jesus died on the cross for
us, he didn't just take away
our sin, but he also took away
our infirmities and the
sickness of our bodies. So
Matthew says that all these
people that Jesus healed, was
to fulfill what Isaiah said in
Isaiah, 53. And what is Isaiah
telling us? He's telling us
that Jesus, when he died on
the cross for us, took away
both our sin and our sickness.
Listen now as I read Isaiah,
53:4 and 5: Surely our grief's
He Himself bore, And our
sorrows He carried; Yet we
ourselves esteemed Him
stricken, Smitten of God, and
afflicted. But He was pierced
through, get this now, for our
transgressions, He was crushed
for our iniquities; The
chastening of our well-being
fell upon Him, And by His
scourging or by his stripes as
Peter says, we are healed.
And so what we learn, beloved
ones, is that Jesus, our
Savior, our Messiah, we can
look to him, not just to take
away our sin, but also,
beloved, we can look to him to
take away the diseases and the
sicknesses of our body, and
that he'll do for us just what
he did for the people that
walked upon earth in the flesh
2,000 years ago (Music) that
he ministered to. Jesus is a
complete Savior.
RABBI SCHNEIDER>>One woman
came up, (Woman talking in
background) beloved, and she
just talked about how empty
she had been feeling. But
during the service, the Holy
Spirit had come and filled her
up. She was so overwhelmed by
the presence of God, she
literally fainted on the
stage. I'm telling you, it was
a marvelous thing to witness.
RABBI SCHNEIDER>>God broke off
the spirit of fear tonight.
(Translator) That is
beautiful. (Translator) I love
you, (Translator) and Jesus
loves you. (Translator)
Shalom. (Translator)
WOMAN>>Amen.
TRANSLATOR>(Speaking in Tongues)
May the power of God,
yes, yes.
WOMAN>> (Making noises)
RABBI SCHNEIDER>>In Tarakea,
the deaf heard and the mute
spoke
MAN>>(Speaking in native tongue)
TRANSLATOR>>He say thank you.
(Crowd noise)
RABBI SCHNEIDER>>Thank you.
MAN>>(Speaking in native tongue)
TRANSLATOR>>He say, thank you,
Jesus.
RABBI SCHNEIDER>>... Jesus's
name. Satan I take authority
over you and over every evil
spirit that's been tormenting
this daughter of Jesus Christ,
and I command you to get out
and never return again, right
now, in Jesus's name. In his
name you are whole.
(Blowing sound)
RABBI SCHNEIDER>>One woman
came that was complaining of
deafness. She was actually
hearing voices in her head. We
prayed for her. The voices
left and beloved one, she was
able to hear normally again.
TRANSLATOR>> From yesterday,
now the voices over.
The voices are not there
so she can hear well.
RABBI SCHNEIDER>>She can hear
well.
(Applause)
RABBI SCHNEIDER>>Praise God.
RABBI SCHNEIDER>>I want to
encourage you right now, if
the Word of God is bearing
witness with your heart, if
you clearly see, beloved one,
that the thing that I'm
sharing with you right now is
true and that it's based in
the Word of God, if you're
struggling with your body
right now, if there's a
sickness or an infirmity with
your body, I want to encourage
you by faith now, just to
reach out to Jesus, just to
reach your hand out to him
now. If you can stand, I want
you to stand up. And we're
gonna look to him right now,
beloved one, to receive
healing in our bodies. Father
God, we humbly come to you
right now in the name of your
Son, in the name of Messiah
Jesus. And Father, we see in
your Word that when Jesus died
on the cross for us, he took
both our sin and our sickness
in his own body on the tree;
Jesus, that you were made sin
for us and you took our
infirmities in your body, and
because you took our sickness
and our sin in your body,
Jesus, we can be whole. Your
righteousness and your health
imparted to us as you took
away our sickness and our sin
from us. We believe in your
love, Jesus, and we believe in
what you did for us. (Music)
We believe you're a complete
Savior and we trust you now
for the healing of our bodies
and for the healing of our
souls. Jesus, we receive your
forgiveness and we receive
your healing in our bodies.
And we declare by the Word of
God, King Jesus, that by your
stripes we have been made
whole. Thank you Jesus, we
receive your healing and we
thank you for your love. We
believe, Lord, in your Word.
Amen.
RABBI SCHNEIDER>>I'm an
evangelist, and so whenever I
go preach the Gospel on the
mission field, my primary goal
is to see people come to
faith and to see salvations.
Beloved, we saw hundreds come
to faith in Tarakea. It was an
incredible time and what a joy
to experience God building his
kingdom in Tarakea, Tanzania.
RABBI SCHNEIDER>>If you've
never invited Jesus into your
heart (Translator) he wants to
come inside you. (Translator)
If you've never invited him in
and want to do that tonight,
(Translator) I want you to
raise your hand, (Translator)
all over and all the way in
back, praise God. (Translator)
God bless you, God bless you
tonight. (Translator) Keep
those hands raised please.
(Translator)
(Music)
RABBI SCHNEIDER>>The Bible
starts out (Translator) with
God creating man in his own
image. (Translator) The reason
God created man in his own
image (Translator) was because
he desired to have a
relationship with us.
(Translator) God wants to have
a relationship with you.
(Translator) (Crowd response)
Many times, Amen, many times
when we think of God
(Translator) we only think of
asking him (Translator) to
meet our needs. (Translator)
We only think of him
(Translator) as the one that
answers our prayers.
(Translator) And we think
about God (Translator) in
terms of what he can do for
us. (Translator) But we
need to realize tonight
(Translator) that it's not
just about what God can do for
us (Translator) but it's also
about the pleasure that he
gets (Translator) from being
in relationship with each one
of us. (Translator) We add to
God's happiness (Translator)
when we love him (Translator)
and yield our heart to him.
(Translator) Even though he's
God, (Translator) and has all
power, (Translator) and can
do anything he wants to do,
(Translator) and is complete
within himself, (Translator)
somehow we add to his joy
(Translator) when we choose to
love him. (Translator) And
God didn't make us robots
(Translator) but he created us
with a will. (Translator)
The Bible says whosoever will.
(Translator) So God has given
us a choice (Translator)
to choose to love him.
(Translator) And Jesus said,
(Translator) in Revelation,
3:20, (Translator) that he's
wanting us to open our hearts
(Translator) so that he can
come into us (Translator)
and that when he does,
(Translator) not only will he
minister to us (Translator)
but we minister to him
(Translator) by loving him.
(Translator)
RABBI SCHNEIDER>> (Music) As
we were doing personal
evangelism walking through a
village one day, we came
across a family. And the
family asked us for prayer.
There was a teenage girl in
the home that was wearing a
shirt that had an evil image
of a person on the face of the
shirt with a knife through the
person's head and blood coming
out. I explained to her that
to repent means to reject
things like this and to not
associate with evil. She was
willing to burn her shirt and
she gave her life to Jesus.
(Music)
RABBI SCHNEIDER>>Jesus, I can
sense your love for this
daughter of yours. Father, I
just sense that you chose her
from the foundation of the
world. Father God, I want to
thank you for what transacted
today. Father God, your life
for her life, and her life to
you. Father God, thank you
today, and I proclaim her,
Abba, in Jesus's name
according to your Word, that
she is a child of God.
RABBI SCHNEIDER>>One of my
favorite times during this
crusade (Music) was when we
were preaching in a local
church. I opened up after the
message for people to testify
about how they had encountered
God. One little boy came
forward. He probably was no
more than eight years old, and
he had shared how he hadn't
been able to read. He hadn't
been able to learn. But he
said that in the service God
touched him and God gave him
the confidence that he knew
that from that point forward
he was gonna be able to read.
I'm telling you what, beloved,
it was a joy to see and
witness that.
RABBI SCHNEIDER>>Did God just
give him confidence that he's
gonna be able to read now?
TRANSLATOR>> (In native
language) Yes
RABBI SCHNEIDER>>Is that what
happened? Give me a hug,
little buddy. (Translator)
(Audience applause)
RABBI SCHNEIDER>> (Praying in
Hebrew) Shalom. That's
fantastic. I'm so proud of you.
RABBI SCHNEIDER>> (Music) We
saw great impartation as we
began to speak into the
pastor's lives. We saw them
begin to repent. They were
refreshed and they renewed
their commitment, beloved, to
do the work of an evangelist,
to preach the Gospel and to
carry on in their ministries.
It was a great time.
RABBI SCHNEIDER>>(Music) And I
ask now, Father, that as I lay
my hands on these pastors,
(Translator) that you'd
release power , (Translator)
divine fire, (Translator)
boldness, (Translator) a
supernatural anointing,
(Translator) to evangelize
(Translator) to persevere
(Translator) and to follow
through (Translator) in the
mighty name (Translator) in
the mighty, mighty, matchless
name of King Jesus.
