Hello,

I'm new here, so I'm not sure where to post things yet. So if this not where this goes, let me know.

Believe it or not, I found you all through Tovia Singer. I'm a gentile, a Bible-thumping Jesus Freak gentile from Los Angeles who listens to Tovia Singer on Israel National Radio. Why? Because God has put this love for Jews into my heart. I can't explain this love because I've never been to Israel, I've never had a real Jewish friend, and to the best of my knowledge, I've never been Jewish. So, I listen to the Internet radio and read Arutz Sheva everyday. Okay, I read HaAretz, too. Is that okay?

Anyway, Tovia had this Christian pastor on the radio the other night who said Jews didn't have to accept Jesus. Wow. That threw me for a loop. I'd never heard that before. So I started to study up on it. And that's how I found you. I'm going to make it a point to support this ministry. I have to see the Jews saved. It sounds crazy. But I love Israel with all my heart, and I can't tell you why. You know, though, I'm going to obey Isaiah 62, and I'm not going to give God any rest until He makes Jerusalem a praise in the Earth.

And that's where Tovia Singer comes in again.

I really like his show. I really like him as person (as much as one can know a person you only hear over the radio). I've even listened to some of his lectures now, and I think he's a very intelligent man (though very, very wrong). I like him.

So here's the deal. God has put a very special love for Tovia Singer in my heart. I'm praying for his salvation every day. I'm weeping over him. I have to see him saved. I realize I'm asking for a Saul-to-Paul here, but nothing is impossible with God (and, of course, He's already proved that He could do it, so its not like I'm asking a mountain to take a swim in the sea).

Um, look, I found you all through Tovia. I assume God is trying to answer my prayer. So I would like to ask anybody here, if they will join with me in praying their butts off for Tovia. I really don't think arguing with him is going to change him. He's got answers for anything we can say to him. But, and I hope you all agree, I believe in God who not only walks on water, quiets storms, and ascends to the sky, but I believe in a God who heals blindness and makes dead men live. Tovia is both blind and dead. But God seems to be moving in the Messianic direction lately, at least in my opinion. It seems to me, we need a modern day Paul. I don't know how long this mission will take, but I do know for the past couple of weeks, I can't sleep, I can't focus on work, I can't talk about anything else. I've never been this consumed before. So I'm going with this. Will you please pray with me? I have to see him saved.

Sorry for being so crazy on my first post. I just need to know someone else is out there supporting me. Please support me in prayer.

On an unrelated note, I could really use some help learning Hebrew. I'm trying it on my own, and I've really gone pretty far down the road to nowhere. So if anyone has any suggestions, I've got some ears.

Thanks for reading.

Thank you Jews for Jesus for existing. May God bless you all.

That's not crazy, that's beautiful.  A good Hebrew learning site is

Hello again:

I see that people read my post, but no one answered. Not a problem. I'm not sure I'd want to get started talking to a loon, either.

Let me continue with my lunancy, though.

I wrote a letter to Tovia about Pastor Kenneth Rawson, who was on his show and said that Jews didn't need to accept Jesus. Tovia, of course, thought that every Christian should be like that. But I know better. I felt compelled to write him a letter letting him know that he was being intellectually dishonest for promoting a brand of Christianity that isn't Christianity (Salvation without Jesus is not Christianity!) and that often leads to hatred of Jews. (If want my logic on that, I'd be glad to email you the letter.) But according to the AOL status thing, he deleted it without even reading it. I was a bit deflated. I really felt that God was standing next to me as I crafted it. In fact, I still feel that way. So, I was actually more than a bit deflated and thought that I had made a horrible mistake in taking on this mission.

However, someone from here must have prayed for me yesterday. After a lot of struggling with God last night, I was led to read Matthew 22 and several chapters of Romans. At first, I was even more discouraged, because it sure doesn't sound hopeful for the Pharisees. But this morning, I woke feeling great. I didn't feel obsessed or harried, but determined and peaceful. And my brain actually turned on, and I thought about the ridiculousness of thinking that God doesn't want us to pray for someone's salvation. Anyway, I won't go into all the details and scriptures that  came to mind--this is, after all, a forum and not a blog (so far)--but I know that someone must have prayed that I find peace or comfort. So to whoever that was, thank you. I desperately need that.

But I still want you all to pray for Tovia. He comes on at 7 o'clock Pacific Time on israelnationalradio.com. I'll be praying for Tovia all throughout the show. I've been asking everyone I know to pray for Tovia. I know this seems like a frivolous, silly mission, because Lazerus had more life in him dead than Tovia has alive. But have faith. Everything, no matter how impossible with man, is possible with God.

Join me tonight in the Spirit in prayer for Tovia, please. And if you don't like Tovia or don't want to listen to him, that's fine. Just pray, please. God is going to breathe His Spirit into the dry bones of Israel very soon. Let's be like Daniel, and get ahead of the curve.

[b][i]RE: Rabbi Tovia Singer,...I love this man's show on "Israel National Radio". I am addicted to his broadcasts and do not miss even one.  I also listen to the rest of the crew at "Israel National Radio".  As for your burden to pray for the good Rabbi and your request and hope that others might share your burden and join you in prayer,...  Let me say that I would love to be your partner in prayer for this great man.  My email is gitel13@aol.com.     Thank you and God Bless, Me.

To Gitel and David:

I've got no plan, but lots of prayer and love for Tovia. And this terrible burden for him. Let's just commit to praying for him. Specifically, I'm praying that his arguments sound hollow in his ears and that he feels his prayers have hit a bronze heaven and that God will give trouble him until he (Tovia) gives in. Other than that, I have no idea what to do. I've tried to email him. I don't think that gets very far. My gut tells me that frontal attacks will push him away. This is going to have to be spiritual warfare, watering in the spirit the seed that has already been cast, and hopefully, some messianic shows up at the right time to reap. You know, he really does know a lot of our NT. I just pray that eventually it takes root. Thanks for joining me in this mission. I'm in it for the long haul.

Dear Kathy:
I love that web site, and I have the Zola Levitt book that goes with it. My problem is that I don't seem to be bright enough to pick Hebrew up. My problem is with the sounds (those pesky chets and khafs) and vowels. The audios on hebrews4christians.com goes to fast to pick it up. Do you speak Hebrew? If so, how long did it take you to pick it?

Loving Jews and Israel are perfectly fine and necessary too.  However we should bear in mind that the New Testament warns us about the spirit of anti-christ.  Who ever denies the Son does not have the Father either ....
1 John 2:23.


1John 4:1 ¶ Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.


1John 4:2  Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:


1John 4:3  And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that [spirit] of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

We should pray for  Tovia Singer to get a revelation from God about the real Messiah our Lord and Saviour Yeshua HaMeshiah.

Tovia Singer's activities are destructive to the Jewish community and our Christian apologists should present counter arguments to Tovia.

Shalom.

I disagree with your wanting to convert Tovia or any other Jews, but that's not why I'm commenting....

I can't imagine that Tovia deleted your e-mail on purpose.  I suggest trying to e-mail him again.  

Be careful about your subject line though... as you can imagine, he gets hundreds of e-mails a day, and deals with spam 100 times more than we do because his address is so public.

I listen to Tovia on a regular basis as well and can often be found in the Virtual Studio.

Blessings,

Hstn

Hstn:

Thanks for responding!

I've tried to join the virtual studio but they never email me the info I need. But, I enjoy listening and praying as I listen. This rabbi that Tovia has on who is talking about Pesach is very interesting. I find it interesting that they can come so close to the Truth and then miss it entirely. It's fascinating, and frustrating, that Tovia and the rabbi prefer questions about the text rather that accept the Solution that would clarify everything!

I know we have differing opinions about the conversion of the Jews--though I'm not sure why you hold that view and would love to discuss it with you--but maybe you can join me in just praying for the salvation of all Jewish people. What would you feel comfortable praying?

Since you have better access to Tovia, would you ask him if he still sells Tovia Singer baseball caps? I'd love to get one, but I don't where. Tell him there's a Bible-thumping, Jesus Freak who thinks the world of him and wants to support his show. My email doesn't seem to get through to him. Thanks.

Once again, Hstn, thanks for the response. I'd love to hear what you have to say about Jewish conversion. PM or email me if you prefer not to have a discussion with everyone else. And if you can ask Tovia about the hat, I'd be very grateful.

Yours in Yeshua,

Todd

Hi Hstn, can you please explain to this computer illiterate person
what the Virtual Studio is?
Many thanks,
