RITA>> (Music) I was born and
raised in Jerusalem, so I've
been, I've lived here for 25
years, my whole life. I heard
about Rabbi Schneider probably
about, it's been five years
now that I've, you know, been
following Rabbi. For me as
an Israeli, just, you know,
somebody who's a Jewish person
who believes in, you know,
Jesus, Yeshua, as the Messiah
is very encouraging for me.
Living here, especially around
a lot of religious people who
don't believe in Him, you
know, somebody who is dressed
like an Orthodox or, you know,
just wearing a Kippah or the
Tzitzis, you know, just that
outer Jewish look, when I
hear, you know, somebody like
that speak about Jesus, it, it's
just very encouraging to me.
RABBI SCHNEIDER>> (Music) That
was Rita, one of the many
Jewish believers living in the
land of Israel that are being
touched through Discovering
the Jewish Jesus. In just a
moment I'm going to take you
inside Jerusalem where you're
gonna see me, beloved ones,
ministering to 500 Russian
Jews that recently have made
Aliyot to Israel. They're
living in the land now. They
do not know Jesus. You're
gonna see them hear the
Gospel, many of them for the
first time. And you're
going to see many of them
responding. But before we go
there, I want to give honor to
the Messianic Jewish leaders
that are living in the land of
Israel. Many of them have been
laboring for the Gospel in
Israel for years, sacrificing
their lives for the honor of
King Yeshua. I want to thank
the Messianic leaders for the
hard work that they're doing
there, preparing the way for
Messiah's return. Now let's go
into Jerusalem. You're gonna
see, beloved, many Jewish people
receiving Jesus. As I preach
God's Word, they're gonna
receive Jesus for the
first time.
Alright, (Audience applause)
so I grew up in a place called
Cleveland, Ohio, in the United
States. (Translator) And I
grew up in a very Jewish
neighborhood. (Translator)
All my friends were Jewish.
(Translator) I was raised in
the synagogue, (Translator)
and I was Bar Mitzvahed in a
conservative synagogue in
Cleveland. (Translator) But
they never really talked
with me about knowing God.
(Translator) They never talked
with me about having a
personal relationship with
God. (Translator) So I grew up
very Jewish, (Translator) but
it was more of a culture.
(Translator) Now continuing
on, (Translator) when I was in
high school, (Translator) I
was a very committed athlete.
(Translator) I was a wrestler,
(Translator) and I was able
or wrestle people my own size.
(Translator) And I was very
good. (Translator) But when
my school years ended,
(Translator) there was no more
wrestling. (Translator) So I
started searching for God.
(Translator) And what happened
was, in August of 1978,
(Translator) the Lord awoke me
from my sleep in the middle of
the night (Translator)
and He appeared to me in
a supernatural vision,
(Translator) and revealed to
me Yeshua. (Translator) No one
had ever told me about Jesus.
(Translator) I had never
thought about Jesus.
(Translator) Jesus was as far
away from me as the man on the
moon. (Translator) Without
having ever heard or thought
of Jesus, (Translator) the
Lord awoke me from my sleep in
the middle of an August night
of 1978, (Translator) and I
had a vision. (Translator)
My eyes were still closed,
(Translator) but suddenly I
was aware that something was
happening. (Translator) I
wasn't sleeping. (Translator)
I was conscious of something
happening. (Translator) And
then suddenly in an instant,
(Translator) Jesus appeared on
the cross. (Translator) It was
in color. (Translator) I could
see the sand in the ground
around where the Cross was
staked in. (Translator) And
then a ray of red light
(Translator) from straight
through the sky (Translator)
beamed down on Jesus' head.
(Translator) And when I saw
that ray of red light from the
sky beam down on Yeshua's head
(Translator) I knew that God
was showing me (Translator)
that Yeshua was the way to
Him. And at that moment 40
years ago, (Translator) my
life completely changed,
(Translator) and I've
never been the same since.
(Translator) Did you know
Jesus is a Jew? (Translator)
He came, came as a Jew.
(Translator) His parents took
Him to Jerusalem for every
Passover. (Translator) So he
was raised as a practicing
Jew. (Translator) The things
that He taught in His ministry
were all very Jewish.
(Translator) He claimed
to fulfill the Torah.
(Translator) And He's in
heaven right now (Translator)
as the Lion from the tribe of
Judah. (Translator) And the
Bible says He's coming back
(Translator) as the offspring
of David. (Translator) The
point that I'm making is this,
(Translator) receiving Jesus
(Translator) is the most
Jewish thing that anybody can
do, (Translator) because He
is (Translator) the Jewish
Messiah. (Translator) How many
of you have heard of Abraham?
(Translator) The Bible tells
us that our father, Abraham,
(Translator) was at a place
in the Torah (Translator)
called the Oaks of Mamre.
(Translator) And while Abraham
was there, (Translator) the
Bible says a man appeared to
him. (Translator) And Abraham
knew the man was God.
(Translator) The Hebrew Bible
actually refers to him as God.
(Translator) So it's not
unusual or un-Jewish
(Translator) for God to
take on the form of a man.
(Translator) We're not
saying that God is a man,
(Translator) but we're saying
that God clothed Himself in
humanity. (Translator)
And then He taught us true
doctrine, true truth.
(Translator) The Bible says
in a Book called John,
(Translator) In the beginning
was the Word, (Translator) and
the Word was with God,
(Translator) and the Word was
God. (Translator) And the Word
became flesh (Translator) and
dwelt among us. (Translator)
So God clothed Himself in the
flesh (Translator) 2,000 years
ago. (Translator) They called
Him Yeshua. (Translator) He
taught the Torah. (Translator)
He pointed out the corruption
of the religious leaders of
His day. (Translator) He said
that He was the Way, the Truth
and the Life, (Translator) and
no one can come to the Father
but through Him. (Translator)
Then He died on the cross,
(Translator) and shed His
blood (Translator) for our
sin. (Translator) You see,
from the very beginning we
learn that there is a
punishment for sin.
(Translator) The Hebrew Bible
teaches us (Translator) that
the soul that sins shall die.
(Translator) Have you ever
thought a hateful thought?
(Translator) Have you ever
thought a selfish thought?
(Translator) Have you ever
lost your temper with somebody
and become, became angry for
wrong reasons? (Translator)
Have you ever wanted
something that wasn't yours?
(Translator) The Bible says
we've all sinned. (Translator)
And unless we have a solution
to that problem, (Translator)
what's gonna happen is this.
(Translator) When we die
(Translator) we're gonna
get separated from God.
(Translator) The Lord said to
Adam and Eve, (Translator)
The day that you eat from
the fruit of that tree
(Translator) you're gonna die.
(Translator) And sure enough,
(Translator) they ate of the
tree, (Translator) and
immediately (Translator)
they realized they were naked.
(Translator) They began to
run from God. (Translator)
Their life became miserable,
(Translator) and they died,
(Translator) because they
sinned. (Translator) Jesus
said, (Translator) Unless
you believe that I am He,
(Translator) you will die in
your sins. (Translator)
I'm here to tell you today,
(Translator) God sent me to
you (Translator) because He
loves you (Translator) and
He wants to reconcile you
(Translator) to Himself.
(Translator) He sent Jesus to
us (Translator) to bring us to
Himself. (Translator) Through
Jesus (Translator) you can
come to know God. (Translator)
Your sins will be forgiven
through Him. (Translator) And
when you die, (Translator) you
can go to heaven. (Translator)
Jesus said, (Translator)
I have come to give life,
(Translator) and to give it
more abundantly. (Translator)
God wants to bless you.
(Translator) God wants to
pour out His love on you.
(Translator) And today
(Translator) He's knocking
at the door of your heart,
(Translator) and He wants
to come into your life,
(Translator) to live inside
you, (Translator) to love you,
(Translator) and bless you.
(Translator) Now is a special
opportunity (Translator)
for you to receive Him.
(Translator) I want to ask you
right now, would you stand
with me? (Translator)
Maybe you feel something
stirring right now. (Translator)
God is knocking at the door
of your heart. (Translator)
Jesus loves you. (Translator)
He really does. (Translator)
He'll do for you what He
did for me. (Translator)
He gave me hope, (Translator)
meaning, (Translator)
a brand new future. (Translator)
Are you feeling something,
honey? (Translator)
Yes, yes. Many are feeling
something. (Translator)
If you're feeling something
stirring right now, (Translator)
what you're feeling is God.
(Translator)
He loves you so much.
(Translator)
He created you, (Translator)
and you can only find meaning
(Translator)
in Him. (Translator)
You can only find out who you
really are (Translator)
by coming into relationship
(Translator)
with the One that created you.
(Translator)
Jesus came (Translator)
and died on the cross for
you (Translator)
to bring you into this
relationship. (Translator)
If you'd like to ask God
(Translator) to come into your
life right now, (Translator)
if you'd like to ask Jesus
(Translator)
to save you and change you,
(Translator)
to forgive you and bless you,
(Translator)
to bring you into an encounter
with the living God,
(Translator)
I want you just to raise your
hand. (Translator) Praise the
Lord. Praise God. Praise God.
God bless you today. God bless
you today, honey. (Translator)
Everyone, God bless you today.
I'm telling you, Jesus is alive.
(Translator) So let's pray.
(Translator) Father God,
(Translator) you want to just
confess it out loud.
(Translator)
Father God, (Translator)
(Audience repeats) thank You
(Translator) that You love me.
(Translator) Thank You for
sending Yeshua (Translator)
to die for my sins. (Translator)
I believe in You. (Translator)
I receive Your love for me.
(Translator) I receive You
(Translator) as my Messiah,
(Translator) Yeshua.
(Translator) Come into my
heart. (Translator) Forgive me
for my sins. (Translator)
Wash me and cleanse me.
(Translator) Give me Your
Spirit. (Translator) Save me
forever, (Translator) and take
me to heaven. (Translator)
I give my life to You now.
(Translator) Send people into
my life (Translator) that will
help me (Translator) to
continue on (Translator) in
this journey that I've just
begun with You. (Translator)
Disciple me, Yeshua, I pray.
(Translator) Amen. (Translator)
Amen. Amen. If you
just prayed that prayer,
would you, would you raise
your hand? (Translator) God
bless you. If you just prayed
that prayer, would you raise
your hand? God bless you.
(Translator) Others, God bless
you. God bless you. God bless
you today. (Translator) God
bless you today. (Translator)
God bless you today.
(Translator) God bless you
today. (Translator)
Praise the Lord.
RABBI SCHNEIDER>> Jesus came
and died on the cross for you.
RABBI SCHNEIDER>> I receive
you as my Messiah, Yeshua.
RABBI SCHNEIDER>> (Music)
Beloved ones, what you just
saw was marked and it was a
big deal. You see, as Jewish
people start to come to faith
in Messiah Jesus like you just
saw, it is preparing the
earth's spiritual atmosphere
for Messiah Jesus' return. Now
I want to thank the Messianic
Jewish leaders that are living
in the land of Israel, that
have moved there from other
parts of the world, many of
them, laid their lives down to
preach the message of King
Yeshua. Thank you. We honor
you for your labor of love for
the King and for the Gospel.
Beloved, Discovering the
Jewish Jesus has some very
specific strategies about how
we're going to be reaching
Jewish people living in the
land of Israel in the years
ahead. I want to ask you to
financially sow into this
ministry so that I can
accomplish all that God has
given me to do. It's always
cost money, beloved ones, to
spread the Gospel. When the
Lord told Moses to build the
tabernacle, the first thing
the Lord told Moses to do was
to raise a contribution from
amongst the people so that
Moses would have the resources
that he needed to build the
Mishkan, which is the Hebrew
word for tabernacle. The same
truth holds today. It costs
money, beloved, to spread the
Gospel. Whether it's through
traveling ministry like the
one you just saw, whether it's
through television, radio,
even social media costs money.
I can't do it without you.
I want to ask you, would you
partner with God? Would you
partner with me? Would you
partner with Discovering the
Jewish Jesus, and make a
significant, the best you can,
financial contribution to this
ministry? Through your
financial help and prayers,
we're gonna continue to reach
Jewish people with the Gospel,
both in Israel and all over
the globe. You've seen me,
those of you that have been
watching for a while, go to
Africa many times. I'm asking
you now, would you help us,
beloved, continue to do what
we're doing and spread the
Gospel to the ends of the earth?
