RABBI SCHNEIDER>>My on the
ground gospel crusades all
began in Haiti. Really, it
began over 30 years ago where
the Lord showed me in a dream
that he was leading me
into a ministry, beloved,
particularly to the Black man.
What happened was this,
(Music) in the dream I found
myself in the upper room of
a house. It looked like an
attic. There was a window on
this side and a window on the
other side. And me and other
people were standing in this
dark attic against the back
wall. Suddenly from this
window, streamed into the room
what I can only describe as a
spirit of life. It looked like
a piece of crepe paper but it
was about a foot and a half
feet high and it was a spirit,
and it was rainbow colored.
It was a spirit of life, I
believe, beloved ones, it was
the Spirit of the living God.
Even as Ezekiel saw the
rainbow of God around the
throne and how Ezekiel saw
the Lord as a rainbow, a
rainbow-like appearance coming
off of him. So I'm in the room
and I see the spirit of life,
the spirit of living color
come into the room from the
window on this side. What I
do next is I move from the
back wall from where I was
standing. I come up to the
Spirit of the living God. I
follow the spirit of color to
the window from which it had
come into the room from. And
then I stuck my head out the
window. And when I stuck my
head out the window, all I saw
was an eternity of color,
color everywhere. That's all I
saw was color. And then I
opened up my hands like this
and I said, come and live
inside me. Next, beloved, I
found myself looking out the
other window of the room. I
just saw chaos going on. I
believe that was representing
a time in my life where things
weren't gonna make sense. Then
suddenly the dream shifted
again. In the last and final
phase of the dream, I find
myself walking down a street.
I'm simply relaxed, nothing on
my mind. As I'm walking down
the street I come up to a
car wreck. It was at an
intersection. I approached the
car that had been in a wreck.
And as I approached the car, I
see that the door on the back
passenger side had flung open
and there was a Black man. And
because of the accident half
of his body was laying outside
of the car, half of his body
was inside the car. His
shoulders were on the ground
but his legs, etc. were still
in the inside of the car. He
was still in one piece, but
badly injured and badly burned
from the accident. Without
thinking and with no ego, it
was completely natural, I just
stuck my hand out like this
towards the Black man's body
and out of my fingertips
flowed the colors of a rainbow
that I'd seen come into the
room and that I asked to come
and live inside me. The colors
of the rainbow, beloved, the
Spirit of the Lord, flowed out
of my fingertips onto the
Black man's body and healed
him of his burns. At that
moment I knew that God had
given me a special healing
ministry to Black people. And
I sought to fulfill it, and I
had some open doors, but I
didn't see doors open to the
degree that I thought they
would because of the dream
that the Lord gave me over
30 years ago. But that all
changed when I got a call from
Terry Snow from YWAM in Haiti,
inviting me down there to do
a gospel crusade.
TERRY SNOW>>I'm listening to
him, and as I'm sitting there
talking with God and taking in
the Word, all of a sudden God
just simply spoke to me.
This man is to come to Haiti.
RABBI SCHNEIDER>>I went to
Haiti for the first time,
beloved, saw thousands of
Black people, African Haitians
show up for the gospel
crusade. I preached the
Gospel. They ran to the altar
every service by the hundreds,
even thousands; people healed,
people delivered. And I
knew that I was seeing the
fulfillment of the dream come
to pass. On the way home in
the plane, I was just in such
awe, so overwhelmed by the
love of God and I knew that
that which again the Lord had
shown me over 30 years ago,
was just beginning. And my
heart was so expanded in the
love of God and the feeling of
reaching the world with the
Gospel of King Jesus was one
of the best feelings I've ever
experienced in my entire life.
TERRY SNOW>>It's just a
God-ordained thing, you know.
It's just Rabbi walking in the
will of God and I'm listening
and walking in the will of God.
And God brought us together.
(Music)
RABBI SCHNEIDER>>Located in
the Caribbean, around 10.4
million people live in a
country of corruption,
poverty and historical voodoo
captivity. That country is
Haiti. Those people share
less than half of the island
of Hispaniola with their
neighbors the Dominican
Republic. The Dominican
Republic is prosperous, but
the healthy economy and their
average life expectancy is
around 74 years, while the
people of Haiti are satisfied
if they can just provide one
meal a day and live past the
age of 50. How can there be
such despair and prosperity on
the same island mass? People
say that over 200 years ago
the people of Haiti covenanted
to serve the voodoo spirits if
they would help them overcome
their French overlords. Maybe
today it is that covenant of
slavery that keeps them in
such poverty without hope for
a brighter future. Regardless
of the reason, the people of
Haiti are in desperate need of
hope. Their land is beautiful
and bright with gorgeous
oceans, sweeping rivers, and
green fertile fields. And
their future can be just as
bright and beautiful. Jesus
can heal them and their land.
(Music and singing)
RABBI SCHNEIDER>>Before
leaving for a two-week trip to
preach and minister ten
meetings in Haiti, I asked the
Lord, how can I help these
people. (Sounds of crusade in
background) I felt the Lord
begin to share with me that
not only did he want me to
preach salvation, healing and
deliverance, but that he was
calling the people of Haiti up
out of their poverty, out of
their hurt and despair to
a higher level, a higher
standard, a higher mindset to
rise up in the realm of the
spirit and to be set free.
The first set of crusades I
preached were in the city of
Gonaives, which is known as
the city of rebellion. The
people there were very
churched. They could make
motions and move to the songs,
but they lacked the freedom in
the Lord. The crusade was held
in the town square, and we
estimate there were about
3,000 people in attendance
each night. These people would
shout at night in the crusade,
but the next day they would go
back to living the same way
they were. So it was this very
thing that I called them to
repent over. I told them that
they had lied to the Lord, and
when I gave the altar call,
they ran to the altar. Jesus
wants your love. (Translator)
He wants your affection.
(Translator) Only you can give
Jesus your heart. (Translator)
Nobody can give Jesus your
heart but you. (Translator)
Will you give him your heart
tonight? (Translator) Many
gave their lives to Jesus
for the first time and the
backslid repented and came
back to the Lord. There in the
center of the town square, the
city repented of its sins.
They took responsibility for
their hurts and their anger
and put their trust in the
Lord to heal them. I believe
this was the first step God
had in bringing healing and
revival to this city. The
Bible says in 2 Chronicles,
7:14: If my people who are
called by my name will humble
themselves and pray and seek
my face, and turn from their
wicked ways, then I will hear
from heaven. I will forgive
their sin and will heal their
land. (Music) The last five
crusade nights were held in
the city of Saint-Marc. Each
night there would be (Sounds
of crusade in background)
manifestations of demons in
the young children. They would
thrash and tear the children's
bodies around. One girl, only
11 years old, particularly
touched my heart.
RABBI SCHNEIDER>>You have no
right here, Satan. You have no
right here Satan. Everyone,
every, all of you out there,
yes all of you out, all of
you go out, oh, that's right,
all of you, all of you.
Hallelujah, honey, God bless
you, honey. God bless you,
sweetheart. (Music) After the
demon left her, tears streamed
down her face as she hugged
Cynthia and myself. My heart
rejoiced in her freedom as the
Lord poured out his love onto
her. Not only were the people
set free from demons, God
literally began to tear down
demonic strongholds in the
city of Saint-Marc. The week
before the crusade there, the
city held a week long party.
TERRY SNOW>>As we were giving
the altar call, one girl came
forward, and one of my staff
who knew her came to me and
said, do you realize who that
is? And I said, no. And she,
he said that's the rah-rah
queen. Rah-rah is something
they say they do in Haiti and
it's actually meant to be a
mockery, build-up of partying,
and carnality, and immorality
of every kind, drunkenness,
building up to the Easter.
She was the queen of that
expression. She was elected
the one who looked to be the
best expression of mockery to
Christ. And here she was now
at the crusade saying
I need Jesus.
RABBI SCHNEIDER>>This woman
shared with us that when she
heard that Jesus saw her as
beautiful, that she didn't
have to do anything to earn
his love, she didn't want to
serve the voodoo spirits any
longer. She said she was going
home to tear up that red dress
and throw it away because she
didn't need it any more. She
wanted to serve Yeshua Jesus
the rest of her life.
TERRY SNOW>>The next day when
we were giving testimonies of
healing, she came forward. And
then she proclaimed to the
city on television, I've
accepted Christ. Christ is
in my heart.
RABBI SCHNEIDER>> In this
dream that I had, (Translator)
I was being tormented by a
demon. (Translator) In the
dream the demon appeared as a
human being but I could tell
it was really a demon.
(Translator) I began to argue
with the man that was really a
demon. (Translator) I began to
exert myself (Translator) but
the demon wasn't going back.
He kept on attacking.
(Translator) Then
supernaturally in the dream I
just began to speak the Word
of God. (Translator) I began
to quote in the dream Psalm 23
and Psalm 91. (Translator) And
as I began to quote the Word
of God, the demon retreated.
(Translator) I couldn't make
the demon go away by my own
energy. (Translator) But when
I relied on God's Spirit and
his Word, (Translator) the
powers of darkness withdrew.
(Translator) I tell you this
because it shows that we need
to be completely dependent on
God because our human power
isn't enough. (Translator) We
need to depend on God to know
Jesus more fully. (Translator)
This requires a supernatural
expectancy. (Translator) We
need to believe as we seek him
that we are going to find him
more and more. (Translator)
But it doesn't happen all at
once. It happens little by
little over time. (Translator)
We need to rely more on the
Holy Spirit and less on other
people. (Translator) The
Spirit of God blows where it
wishes and we don't know where
he's coming from or where he's
going. And so it is with
everyone who's born of the
Spirit. (Translator) What this
means is we need to be open to
where God wants to lead us.
(Translator) We can't put him
in a box. (Translator) God may
speak to some of you tonight
in your sleep. (Translator) He
may say something that you
weren't expecting him to say.
(Translator) He may show you
something that you didn't
understand before.
(Translator) When he speaks,
we need to listen,
(Translator) (Crowd response)
and obey if we're gonna become
free. (Translator) (Crowd
response) Jesus said, if you
continue in my Word, the truth
will make you free.
(Music)
TERRY SNOW>> Because Rabbi
came, Gonaives and Saint-Marc
churches are closer networked
together than they have been
in a long time.
RABBI SCHNEIDER>>And the
Word of God needs to run
(Translator) like a river of
fire (Translator) like a
sharp, two-edged sword
(Translator) so that the Word
of God (Translator) hits the
mark (Translator) and affects
change. (Translator)
TERRY SNOW>>God used Rabbi to
be a bridge builder between
the pastors of Saint-Marc and
the pastors of Gonaives to
just to re-kindle, re-unite
that relationship. Rabbi's
message is being very
effective and very because
it's so practical to me with
the dynamics that what is
going on in our city.
RABBI SCHNEIDER>>And we need
to have sound theology.
(Translator) We need to
understand the grace of God.
TERRY SNOW>>As he shares in
the pastor and leader seminar,
people are getting tangible
teaching that they can
implement and they need to
implement. It's not like, well
I might deal with someone
demon-possessed, or I need
some deliverance once in three
years. No, they deal with
this on a weekly basis. The
effectiveness of this was just
the second night of the
crusade, we had another
demonic person came forward.
After the pastor had gotten
their teaching, they took him
back stage and within a matter
of 15-20 minutes, they came
out totally standing free,
delivered, testifying to what
God had done in their life.
Where before that was never
the case and normally would
be all night, hours of
deliverance. I think that
shows the effective work that
Rabbi had been doing in
the city.
CYNTHIA SCHNEIDER>>We could
not have done this without the
partners, it is very clear to
me. As I've been here in
Haiti, I have thought over and
over of our partners that are
back in the United States and
around the globe that are
praying for us and lifting us
up. Even as I was sick, I
could feel the strength coming
from the prayers of the saints
that were lifting us up, that
were lifting Rabbi up, even
when he was sick to the point
where he fainted on the stage.
And yet with the power of God
and his Spirit, he was raised
back up to finish his message.
We are against enemy territory
and with that we need the
saints from all around the
glove praying, lifting us up
that we will have the victory
and complete the fullness of
God's plan for us here.
TERRY SNOW>>God knew what
pushes the buttons of the
Haitian people. And when the
Haitian people actually heard
a Jew was coming to speak to
them about God, it got their
attention. I have seen God use
Rabbi with his sound doctrine
and teaching of the Word
to bring a message of
practicality and power through
signs, demon-possessed being
set free, people being healed,
people coming to Christ.
Rabbi's message that he was
bringing forth was so
effective in breaking
strongholds, they physically
ran to the altar and just
crowded in. I've never seen
that, that way. I never see
such a rapid response. So I
think this ministry is really
just raising the bar. Now
being the second year that
Rabbi's been here, it's just
raising the bar of potential
at how God wants to change
our city.
RABBI SCHNEIDER>>The Lord also
did many miraculous healings
at the crusade. He directed me
to throw water on the people
as a point of contact with
himself, in much the same way
that Jesus breathed on the
people. When the water would
hit the people, many testified
that they received healings.
People had told me that the
Haitian peopled needed a
simple message, weak and easy
to understand. But during my
message, I felt the Lord
calling these people to
something greater. I shared as
the Lord shard with me. I
called them to a higher
standard, a greater calling,
out of their situations,
invoking them to come out of
their box way of thinking
things to believe in God and
greater godly ideas. Jesus
said, blessed are those who
hunger and thirst for
righteousness, for they shall
be filled. The work in Haiti
was hard. The enemy was
working against us, but God
broke through and did a great
thing. There is no greater
message, no greater calling
than what Jesus shared with us
in Matthew, 28, 19 and 20: Go
and make disciples of all
nations, baptizing them in the
name of the Father, the Son
and the Holy Spirit, and
teaching them to obey all that
I commanded you.
(Music)
