These jewish believers and why is it important
00:02:02.980 --> 00:02:04.348
And why is it important for us as christians,
00:02:04.415 --> 00:02:05.683
For us as christians, as gentiles, to know
00:02:05.750 --> 00:02:07.251

00:02:08.619 --> 00:02:09.453
Relationship with them, well, from that sojourn

>> yeah, they sure did. >> yes, and when they did
00:02:15.493 --> 00:02:16.360
>> yes, and when they did their very first conference,
00:02:16.427 --> 00:02:19.330
Their very first conference, it was when i was in college
00:02:19.397 --> 00:02:21.065
It was when i was in college and that was in palm springs.
00:02:21.132 --> 00:02:22.500
And that was in palm springs. and i drove down,
00:02:22.567 --> 00:02:23.868
And i drove down, went to the conference,
00:02:23.935 --> 00:02:24.635
Went to the conference, and i remember feeling
00:02:24.702 --> 00:02:25.636
And i remember feeling very confused, like,
00:02:25.703 --> 00:02:27.238
Very confused, like, "dad, we're african american,
00:02:27.305 --> 00:02:28.472
"dad, we're african american, you know.
00:02:28.539 --> 00:02:29.207
You know. we're from the church.
00:02:29.273 --> 00:02:30.007
We're from the church. what is this jewish
00:02:30.074 --> 00:02:30.741
What is this jewish stuff you're doing?
00:02:30.808 --> 00:02:31.676
Stuff you're doing? you know?
00:02:31.742 --> 00:02:32.510
You know? you can go to israel
00:02:32.577 --> 00:02:33.311
You can go to israel to experience this.
00:02:33.377 --> 00:02:34.345
To experience this. why are you -- you know,
00:02:34.412 --> 00:02:35.446
Why are you -- you know, why do you have this passion?"
00:02:35.513 --> 00:02:36.414
Why do you have this passion?" >> it seemed totally odd to you.
00:02:36.480 --> 00:02:37.248
>> it seemed totally odd to you. >> it was odd.
00:02:37.315 --> 00:02:38.182
>> it was odd. it seemed very out of place,
00:02:38.249 --> 00:02:41.452
It seemed very out of place, and i was very resistant
00:02:41.519 --> 00:02:43.321
And i was very resistant to it at first.
00:02:43.387 --> 00:02:44.922
To it at first. and this is why
00:02:44.989 --> 00:02:46.057
And this is why it was so profound
00:02:46.123 --> 00:02:47.558
It was so profound when at that conference
00:02:47.625 --> 00:02:48.693
When at that conference i met for the first time
00:02:48.759 --> 00:02:50.528
I met for the first time messianic jewish young adults.
00:02:50.595 --> 00:02:52.797
Messianic jewish young adults. and we connected just out
00:02:52.863 --> 00:02:54.899
And we connected just out of a pure love for yeshua.
00:02:54.966 --> 00:02:57.134
Of a pure love for yeshua. and we were sitting
00:02:57.201 --> 00:02:58.002
And we were sitting at a table with some of them
00:02:58.069 --> 00:02:59.537
At a table with some of them and i began to kind of feel
00:02:59.604 --> 00:03:01.405
And i began to kind of feel some type of way.
00:03:01.472 --> 00:03:02.273
Some type of way. i said, "you know,
00:03:02.340 --> 00:03:02.840
I said, "you know, what's so special about
00:03:02.907 --> 00:03:03.908
What's so special about these jewish brothers?
00:03:03.975 --> 00:03:04.809
These jewish brothers? you know.
00:03:04.875 --> 00:03:05.610
You know. i'm in bible school.
00:03:05.676 --> 00:03:06.611
I'm in bible school. i know the word."
00:03:06.677 --> 00:03:07.745
I know the word." and we just started talking
00:03:07.812 --> 00:03:08.779
And we just started talking about the word of god.
00:03:08.846 --> 00:03:09.947
About the word of god. now, i'm in ministry school,
00:03:10.014 --> 00:03:11.148
Now, i'm in ministry school, none of them were.
00:03:11.215 --> 00:03:12.483
None of them were. and it was like in that moment,
00:03:12.550 --> 00:03:14.485
And it was like in that moment, they were just talking
00:03:14.552 --> 00:03:15.419
They were just talking about the word.
00:03:15.486 --> 00:03:15.953
About the word. they were
00:03:16.020 --> 00:03:16.254
They were [speaking in hebrew]
00:03:16.320 --> 00:03:17.521
[speaking in hebrew] and i'm --
00:03:17.588 --> 00:03:18.656
And i'm -- jaw on the floor saying --
00:03:18.723 --> 00:03:20.424
Jaw on the floor saying -- >> speaking hebrew prayers.
00:03:20.491 --> 00:03:21.425
>> speaking hebrew prayers. >> "who are these people?"
00:03:21.492 --> 00:03:22.627
>> "who are these people?" and in that moment, jonathan,
00:03:22.693 --> 00:03:24.195
And in that moment, jonathan, time stood still for me.
00:03:24.262 --> 00:03:26.063
Time stood still for me. and the holy spirit said to me,
00:03:26.130 --> 00:03:27.732
And the holy spirit said to me, "daughter, you know me
00:03:27.798 --> 00:03:29.834
"daughter, you know me in my divinity.
00:03:29.900 --> 00:03:30.835
In my divinity. you know about the cross.
00:03:30.901 --> 00:03:32.069
You know about the cross. you know about the miracles
00:03:32.136 --> 00:03:33.537
You know about the miracles that i perform,
00:03:33.604 --> 00:03:34.605
That i perform, but you have no idea
00:03:34.672 --> 00:03:36.007
But you have no idea who i am and my humanity.
00:03:36.073 --> 00:03:37.908
Who i am and my humanity. you don't know
00:03:37.975 --> 00:03:38.542
You don't know who i am as a jewish man."
00:03:38.609 --> 00:03:40.244
Who i am as a jewish man." and so, in that moment,
00:03:40.311 --> 00:03:41.646
And so, in that moment, i felt like, "here's jesus,
00:03:41.712 --> 00:03:43.514
I felt like, "here's jesus, the center of my life."
00:03:43.581 --> 00:03:44.582
The center of my life." i had the wwjd bracelets.
00:03:44.649 --> 00:03:46.784
I had the wwjd bracelets. "what would jesus do?"
00:03:46.851 --> 00:03:47.618
"what would jesus do?" but i didn't know anything
00:03:47.685 --> 00:03:48.653
But i didn't know anything about what he would do.
00:03:48.719 --> 00:03:50.087
About what he would do. i didn't know
00:03:50.154 --> 00:03:50.921
I didn't know the totality of who he was.
00:03:50.988 --> 00:03:53.324
The totality of who he was. and so, that set me
00:03:53.391 --> 00:03:54.659
And so, that set me on a mission to learn more
00:03:54.725 --> 00:03:56.761
On a mission to learn more about the humanity
00:03:56.827 --> 00:03:57.828
About the humanity of my lord and savior.
00:03:57.895 --> 00:03:59.597
Of my lord and savior. and you can't just love
00:03:59.664 --> 00:04:00.665
And you can't just love his humanity
00:04:00.731 --> 00:04:02.166
His humanity and him being a jewish man
00:04:02.233 --> 00:04:03.334
And him being a jewish man without loving his people.
00:04:03.401 --> 00:04:05.069
Without loving his people. and so, i became crazy in love
00:04:05.136 --> 00:04:06.837
And so, i became crazy in love with the jewish people
00:04:06.904 --> 00:04:08.139
With the jewish people and god's heart for seeing
00:04:08.205 --> 00:04:09.440
And god's heart for seeing jew and gentile together as one.
00:04:09.507 --> 00:04:10.675
Jew and gentile together as one. >> how come that happened to you
00:04:10.741 --> 00:04:12.043
>> how come that happened to you and so many christians
00:04:12.109 --> 00:04:13.878
And so many christians don't have the slightest
00:04:13.944 --> 00:04:15.012
Don't have the slightest idea of this?
00:04:15.079 --> 00:04:16.013
Idea of this? >> you know, one of the things
00:04:16.080 --> 00:04:17.615
>> you know, one of the things that i learned early on
00:04:17.682 --> 00:04:19.050
That i learned early on when i was going through
00:04:19.116 --> 00:04:20.017
When i was going through this transition was that
00:04:20.084 --> 00:04:21.218
This transition was that i contextualized jesus
00:04:21.285 --> 00:04:23.287
I contextualized jesus to look like me.
00:04:23.354 --> 00:04:24.588
To look like me. he was this black man
00:04:24.655 --> 00:04:25.423
He was this black man with some dreadlocks.
00:04:25.489 --> 00:04:26.524
With some dreadlocks. he had a six pack, you know.
00:04:26.590 --> 00:04:28.392
He had a six pack, you know. he looked like me.
00:04:28.459 --> 00:04:29.260
He looked like me. he dressed like me.
00:04:29.327 --> 00:04:30.628
He dressed like me. and every time
00:04:30.695 --> 00:04:31.529
And every time i would read scripture
00:04:31.595 --> 00:04:33.064
I would read scripture or pray, what i was seeing,
00:04:33.130 --> 00:04:35.099
Or pray, what i was seeing, who i was engaging with,
00:04:35.166 --> 00:04:36.667
Who i was engaging with, was a jesus that
00:04:36.734 --> 00:04:37.635
Was a jesus that was comfortable to me.
00:04:37.702 --> 00:04:39.737
Was comfortable to me. but the reality is
00:04:39.804 --> 00:04:41.238
But the reality is we have to recognize that
00:04:41.305 --> 00:04:43.307
We have to recognize that when we accept yeshua,
00:04:43.374 --> 00:04:44.909
When we accept yeshua, jesus into our heart
00:04:44.975 --> 00:04:46.477
Jesus into our heart that we're entering
00:04:46.544 --> 00:04:47.945
That we're entering into his story, his kingdom,
00:04:48.012 --> 00:04:50.147
Into his story, his kingdom, and we have to understand
00:04:50.214 --> 00:04:51.248
And we have to understand who he was, who he is,
00:04:51.315 --> 00:04:52.950
Who he was, who he is, and who he is to come.
00:04:53.017 --> 00:04:54.485
And who he is to come. >> talk about some of
00:04:54.552 --> 00:04:55.419
>> talk about some of the scriptures
00:04:55.486 --> 00:04:56.821
The scriptures that dramatically
00:04:56.887 --> 00:04:57.655
That dramatically changed your direction,
00:04:57.722 --> 00:04:58.989
Changed your direction, your calling, your ministry.
00:04:59.056 --> 00:05:00.324
Your calling, your ministry. there's a few scriptures.
00:05:00.391 --> 00:05:01.625
There's a few scriptures. >> yeah, well, john 17
00:05:01.692 --> 00:05:02.760
>> yeah, well, john 17 is my favorite,
00:05:02.827 --> 00:05:04.929
Is my favorite, and the thing about john 17
00:05:04.995 --> 00:05:06.897
And the thing about john 17 is this, i'm sure
00:05:06.964 --> 00:05:08.065
Is this, i'm sure this is true for you.
00:05:08.132 --> 00:05:08.866
This is true for you. i know it's true
00:05:08.933 --> 00:05:09.367
I know it's true for every believer.
00:05:09.433 --> 00:05:10.601
For every believer. if you wanna know
00:05:10.668 --> 00:05:11.569
If you wanna know the priority in your life,
00:05:11.635 --> 00:05:13.270
The priority in your life, then we should spy on
00:05:13.337 --> 00:05:14.472
Then we should spy on your prayer life.
00:05:14.538 --> 00:05:15.740
Your prayer life. what we pray about reveals
00:05:15.806 --> 00:05:17.541
What we pray about reveals what our priorities are.
00:05:17.608 --> 00:05:19.176
What our priorities are. and john 17
00:05:19.243 --> 00:05:20.277
And john 17 is the longest prayer
00:05:20.344 --> 00:05:21.579
Is the longest prayer that yeshua prays in scripture.
00:05:21.645 --> 00:05:23.581
That yeshua prays in scripture. and so, if i'm a believer,
00:05:23.647 --> 00:05:25.116
And so, if i'm a believer, i'm going, "i think this prayer
00:05:25.182 --> 00:05:26.884
I'm going, "i think this prayer is gonna give me insight
00:05:26.951 --> 00:05:28.686
Is gonna give me insight into what's most important
00:05:28.753 --> 00:05:30.755
Into what's most important to our lord and savior."
00:05:30.821 --> 00:05:31.989
To our lord and savior." and in this prayer,
00:05:32.056 --> 00:05:33.357
And in this prayer, he's crying out to the father
00:05:33.424 --> 00:05:34.725
He's crying out to the father in his most trying moment.
00:05:34.792 --> 00:05:37.328
In his most trying moment. and he's saying,
00:05:37.395 --> 00:05:38.028
And he's saying, "lord, my desire
00:05:38.095 --> 00:05:39.797
"lord, my desire is that these and those,"
00:05:39.864 --> 00:05:41.565
Is that these and those," these, his jewish disciples,
00:05:41.632 --> 00:05:43.367
These, his jewish disciples, those, the nations,
00:05:43.434 --> 00:05:44.435
Those, the nations, the gentiles,
00:05:44.502 --> 00:05:45.503
The gentiles, "they would later
00:05:45.569 --> 00:05:46.103
"they would later reach for the gospel.
00:05:46.170 --> 00:05:46.837
Reach for the gospel. my desire is that
00:05:46.904 --> 00:05:47.538
My desire is that they would be one
00:05:47.605 --> 00:05:49.006
They would be one as you and i are one,"
00:05:49.073 --> 00:05:50.341
As you and i are one," that's covenantal relationship,
00:05:50.408 --> 00:05:52.410
That's covenantal relationship, "so that the world
00:05:52.476 --> 00:05:54.078
"so that the world may believe you sent me."
00:05:54.145 --> 00:05:55.913
May believe you sent me." worldwide revival.
00:05:55.980 --> 00:05:57.248
Worldwide revival. that's the answer to
00:05:57.314 --> 00:05:58.883
That's the answer to bringing in god's revival.
00:05:58.949 --> 00:06:00.451
Bringing in god's revival. it's seeing this unity,
00:06:00.518 --> 00:06:01.919
It's seeing this unity, this interdependent connection
00:06:01.986 --> 00:06:04.455
This interdependent connection and relationship with
00:06:04.522 --> 00:06:05.456
And relationship with jew and gentile.
00:06:05.523 --> 00:06:06.824
Jew and gentile. it's the number one
00:06:06.891 --> 00:06:07.725
It's the number one prayer of our lord,
00:06:07.792 --> 00:06:09.026
Prayer of our lord, but it's also the number one
00:06:09.093 --> 00:06:09.994
But it's also the number one attack of the enemy.
00:06:10.060 --> 00:06:11.128
Attack of the enemy. >> i don't know if any of you
00:06:11.195 --> 00:06:12.029
>> i don't know if any of you have ever heard this before.
00:06:12.096 --> 00:06:13.431
Have ever heard this before. this is just -- it's amazing
00:06:13.497 --> 00:06:15.099
This is just -- it's amazing to hear it from someone like you
00:06:15.166 --> 00:06:17.067
To hear it from someone like you that wasn't brought up jewish,
00:06:17.134 --> 00:06:18.636
That wasn't brought up jewish, that was -- grew up in
00:06:18.702 --> 00:06:19.837
That was -- grew up in the african american community.
00:06:19.904 --> 00:06:21.739
The african american community. and you were so weirded out
00:06:21.806 --> 00:06:22.907
And you were so weirded out by this whole direction,
00:06:22.973 --> 00:06:24.408
By this whole direction, but then the light came on.
00:06:24.475 --> 00:06:25.643
But then the light came on. >> it came on.
00:06:25.709 --> 00:06:26.177
>> it came on. >> what was
00:06:26.243 --> 00:06:26.577
>> what was the lightning bolt moment?
00:06:26.644 --> 00:06:27.812
The lightning bolt moment? your dad -- you talked
00:06:27.878 --> 00:06:28.679
Your dad -- you talked about your dad had
00:06:28.746 --> 00:06:29.580
About your dad had a lightning bolt moment.
00:06:29.647 --> 00:06:30.881
A lightning bolt moment. >> yeah.
00:06:30.948 --> 00:06:31.282
>> yeah. >> right?
00:06:31.348 --> 00:06:31.949
>> right? when he realized
00:06:32.016 --> 00:06:33.150
When he realized that he was unaware of
00:06:33.217 --> 00:06:35.319
That he was unaware of a segment of the body of christ
00:06:35.386 --> 00:06:36.787
A segment of the body of christ and had no idea who they were
00:06:36.854 --> 00:06:38.656
And had no idea who they were or what the connection
00:06:38.722 --> 00:06:40.090
Or what the connection was to him.
00:06:40.157 --> 00:06:42.126
Was to him. >> my lightning bolt moment
00:06:42.193 --> 00:06:43.227
>> my lightning bolt moment was a couple of days
00:06:43.294 --> 00:06:44.195
Was a couple of days after i attended
00:06:44.261 --> 00:06:45.429
After i attended that conference.
00:06:45.496 --> 00:06:46.730
That conference. and i was spending some time
00:06:46.797 --> 00:06:47.932
And i was spending some time praying with the lord
00:06:47.998 --> 00:06:48.599
Praying with the lord and the holy spirit
00:06:48.666 --> 00:06:49.867
And the holy spirit gave it to me in this analogy.
00:06:49.934 --> 00:06:51.569
Gave it to me in this analogy. he said -- at the time
00:06:51.635 --> 00:06:52.736
He said -- at the time i was single,
00:06:52.803 --> 00:06:53.671
I was single, and the holy spirit said,
00:06:53.737 --> 00:06:54.572
And the holy spirit said, "petra, say you were
00:06:54.638 --> 00:06:55.673
"petra, say you were to marry somebody that was
00:06:55.739 --> 00:06:56.740
To marry somebody that was ethnically and culturally
00:06:56.807 --> 00:06:58.108
Ethnically and culturally different than you,
00:06:58.175 --> 00:06:59.076
Different than you, and say that person said,
00:06:59.143 --> 00:07:00.611
And say that person said, 'petra, we just love
00:07:00.678 --> 00:07:01.512
'petra, we just love your personality,
00:07:01.579 --> 00:07:02.646
Your personality, we love your heart,
00:07:02.713 --> 00:07:03.514
We love your heart, we love who you are,
00:07:03.581 --> 00:07:04.448
We love who you are, but your black culture
00:07:04.515 --> 00:07:06.884
But your black culture and your black people,
00:07:06.951 --> 00:07:08.185
And your black people, can you just leave that
00:07:08.252 --> 00:07:09.153
Can you just leave that out of our relationship?'"
00:07:09.220 --> 00:07:10.855
Out of our relationship?'" well, jonathan,
00:07:10.921 --> 00:07:11.422
Well, jonathan, i would tell that person,
00:07:11.489 --> 00:07:12.289
I would tell that person, "hit the road, jack.
00:07:12.356 --> 00:07:13.424
"hit the road, jack. and don't you come
00:07:13.491 --> 00:07:14.058
And don't you come back no more."
00:07:14.124 --> 00:07:14.825
Back no more." and then the holy spirit
00:07:14.892 --> 00:07:15.493
And then the holy spirit said this, "the church has said,
00:07:15.559 --> 00:07:17.127
Said this, "the church has said, 'lord, we want your miracles.
00:07:17.194 --> 00:07:18.963
'lord, we want your miracles. we want your power.
00:07:19.029 --> 00:07:20.197
We want your power. we want the cross.
00:07:20.264 --> 00:07:21.565
We want the cross. we want your grace.
00:07:21.632 --> 00:07:23.100
We want your grace. but the jewish stuff,
00:07:23.167 --> 00:07:24.835
But the jewish stuff, and your jewish people,
00:07:24.902 --> 00:07:26.070
And your jewish people, and israel and all that,
00:07:26.136 --> 00:07:27.371
And israel and all that, let's keep that
00:07:27.438 --> 00:07:28.005
Let's keep that out of our relationship.'"
00:07:28.072 --> 00:07:29.507
Out of our relationship.'" well, when we do that,
00:07:29.573 --> 00:07:30.975
Well, when we do that, we're only getting
00:07:31.041 --> 00:07:32.376
We're only getting a part of who god is.
00:07:32.443 --> 00:07:34.245
A part of who god is. we're only understanding
00:07:34.311 --> 00:07:35.513
We're only understanding a part of who he is
00:07:35.579 --> 00:07:36.814
A part of who he is as a promise keeper,
00:07:36.881 --> 00:07:38.182
As a promise keeper, as a way maker.
00:07:38.249 --> 00:07:39.617
As a way maker. and so, for me, it was that
00:07:39.683 --> 00:07:41.685
And so, for me, it was that lightning bolt moment
00:07:41.752 --> 00:07:43.053
Lightning bolt moment of i cannot educate,
00:07:43.120 --> 00:07:46.023
Of i cannot educate, be a pastor,
00:07:46.090 --> 00:07:46.757
Be a pastor, be a leader,
00:07:46.824 --> 00:07:47.725
Be a leader, people on this faith
00:07:47.791 --> 00:07:49.693
People on this faith and remove from it
00:07:49.760 --> 00:07:51.762
And remove from it the jewishness of jesus
00:07:51.829 --> 00:07:53.297
The jewishness of jesus and the heart we're supposed
00:07:53.364 --> 00:07:54.298
And the heart we're supposed to have for his jewish people.
00:07:54.365 --> 00:07:55.666
To have for his jewish people. >> wow.
00:07:55.733 --> 00:07:56.333
>> wow. well said, petra.
00:07:56.400 --> 00:07:57.835
Well said, petra. well said.
00:07:57.902 --> 00:07:59.069
Well said. well, what would you
00:07:59.136 --> 00:07:59.737
Well, what would you say to people that
00:07:59.803 --> 00:08:02.106
Say to people that just simply believe
00:08:02.172 --> 00:08:02.873
Just simply believe that god's finished with
00:08:02.940 --> 00:08:03.874
That god's finished with the jewish people that,
00:08:03.941 --> 00:08:04.708
The jewish people that, yes, they did provide
00:08:04.775 --> 00:08:06.710
Yes, they did provide these things for us,
00:08:06.777 --> 00:08:08.145
These things for us, but they'd rejected
00:08:08.212 --> 00:08:09.179
But they'd rejected their messiah
00:08:09.246 --> 00:08:10.080
Their messiah and that's it for them?
00:08:10.147 --> 00:08:12.116
And that's it for them? >> well, what i would say
00:08:12.182 --> 00:08:12.917
>> well, what i would say to those people is that
00:08:12.983 --> 00:08:14.618
To those people is that the lord is coming back again.
00:08:14.685 --> 00:08:16.520
The lord is coming back again. and he's not coming back
00:08:16.587 --> 00:08:17.521
And he's not coming back to new york,
00:08:17.588 --> 00:08:18.422
To new york, as beautiful as it is.
00:08:18.489 --> 00:08:19.857
As beautiful as it is. he's not coming back to greece,
00:08:19.924 --> 00:08:21.892
He's not coming back to greece, nor is he coming back
00:08:21.959 --> 00:08:22.693
Nor is he coming back to hollywood,
00:08:22.760 --> 00:08:23.827
To hollywood, but he's coming
00:08:23.894 --> 00:08:24.395
But he's coming back to jerusalem.
00:08:24.461 --> 00:08:26.130
Back to jerusalem. and if we remove the importance
00:08:26.196 --> 00:08:29.333
And if we remove the importance of the whole story,
00:08:29.400 --> 00:08:30.334
Of the whole story, the old testament and new,
00:08:30.401 --> 00:08:32.036
The old testament and new, the prophecies of what
00:08:32.102 --> 00:08:33.337
The prophecies of what god has done,
00:08:33.404 --> 00:08:34.605
God has done, and what he's going to do,
00:08:34.672 --> 00:08:36.240
And what he's going to do, then we as believers
00:08:36.307 --> 00:08:37.174
Then we as believers will not be ready
00:08:37.241 --> 00:08:38.576
Will not be ready and we will not recognize
00:08:38.642 --> 00:08:40.511
And we will not recognize when the messiah returns.
00:08:40.578 --> 00:08:42.346
When the messiah returns. >> petra, i am so grateful
00:08:42.413 --> 00:08:43.547

About the organization that we brought up last session
00:10:29.753 --> 00:10:32.990
That we brought up last session that your father
00:10:33.057 --> 00:10:33.557

Road to jerusalem. it's a challenging ministry.
00:10:38.829 --> 00:10:39.997
It's a challenging ministry. what's some of the obstacles
00:10:40.064 --> 00:10:41.699
What's some of the obstacles that you face promoting
00:10:41.765 --> 00:10:42.900
That you face promoting messianic judaism,
00:10:42.966 --> 00:10:44.802
Messianic judaism, unity within the church,
00:10:44.868 --> 00:10:46.103
Unity within the church, and how you overcome them?
00:10:46.170 --> 00:10:47.838
And how you overcome them? >> well, one of
00:10:47.905 --> 00:10:48.572
>> well, one of the biggest obstacles
00:10:48.639 --> 00:10:50.040
The biggest obstacles that we find especially
00:10:50.107 --> 00:10:51.542
That we find especially when i'm talking to
00:10:51.608 --> 00:10:52.209
When i'm talking to pastors and leaders
00:10:52.276 --> 00:10:53.510
Pastors and leaders is they're so afraid to
00:10:53.577 --> 00:10:55.713
Is they're so afraid to do anything pertaining
00:10:55.779 --> 00:10:56.947
Do anything pertaining to jewish roots because
00:10:57.014 --> 00:10:58.248
To jewish roots because they're afraid of culturally
00:10:58.315 --> 00:10:59.583
They're afraid of culturally appropriating things
00:10:59.650 --> 00:11:00.584
Appropriating things that are jewish.
00:11:00.651 --> 00:11:02.019
That are jewish. and one of the things
00:11:02.086 --> 00:11:02.886
And one of the things that i really studied
00:11:02.953 --> 00:11:05.022
That i really studied and began to teach was
00:11:05.089 --> 00:11:07.091
And began to teach was romans 11 and the olive tree.
00:11:07.157 --> 00:11:09.059
Romans 11 and the olive tree. and we all know when we read
00:11:09.126 --> 00:11:10.994
And we all know when we read romans 11, that if
00:11:11.061 --> 00:11:12.596
Romans 11, that if you're not jewish
00:11:12.663 --> 00:11:13.597
You're not jewish and you're gentile,
00:11:13.664 --> 00:11:14.198
And you're gentile, you're grafted in.
00:11:14.264 --> 00:11:15.599
You're grafted in. but i don't think
00:11:15.666 --> 00:11:16.200
But i don't think what people realize
00:11:16.266 --> 00:11:17.468
What people realize is that grafting
00:11:17.534 --> 00:11:18.936
Is that grafting in actually a real thing.
00:11:19.002 --> 00:11:21.071
In actually a real thing. the university of syracuse
00:11:21.138 --> 00:11:22.272
The university of syracuse did this project.
00:11:22.339 --> 00:11:23.774
Did this project. they call it,
00:11:23.841 --> 00:11:24.274
They call it, "the tree of 40 fruits,"
00:11:24.341 --> 00:11:25.676
"the tree of 40 fruits," where they grafted in
00:11:25.743 --> 00:11:27.878
Where they grafted in 40 different fruits
00:11:27.945 --> 00:11:29.346
40 different fruits into an olive tree.
00:11:29.413 --> 00:11:31.215
Into an olive tree. and what happened was this,
00:11:31.281 --> 00:11:32.349
And what happened was this, and it was phenomenal,
00:11:32.416 --> 00:11:33.751
And it was phenomenal, that each of those branches
00:11:33.817 --> 00:11:35.486
That each of those branches continued to produce
00:11:35.552 --> 00:11:36.954
Continued to produce the fruit of the original tree
00:11:37.020 --> 00:11:38.956
The fruit of the original tree that they were native to,
00:11:39.022 --> 00:11:40.257
That they were native to, but they're all connected
00:11:40.324 --> 00:11:41.592
But they're all connected to this new source.
00:11:41.658 --> 00:11:43.560
To this new source. and when i realized that
00:11:43.627 --> 00:11:45.195
And when i realized that and that was introduced to me --
00:11:45.262 --> 00:11:46.597
And that was introduced to me -- >> i love that picture.
00:11:46.663 --> 00:11:47.364
>> i love that picture. >> yeah, it was introduced to me
00:11:47.431 --> 00:11:48.665
>> yeah, it was introduced to me by rabbi jacob rosenberg.
00:11:48.732 --> 00:11:50.934
By rabbi jacob rosenberg. i learned this, i learned that
00:11:51.001 --> 00:11:52.770
I learned this, i learned that when we're grafted in,
00:11:52.836 --> 00:11:54.071
When we're grafted in, it's not cultural appropriation.
00:11:54.138 --> 00:11:56.607
It's not cultural appropriation. it's covenantal participation.
00:11:56.673 --> 00:11:58.976
It's covenantal participation. that's what he taught me.
00:11:59.042 --> 00:12:00.077
That's what he taught me. >> that's really profound.
00:12:00.144 --> 00:12:01.111
>> that's really profound. >> so, covenantal participation,
00:12:01.178 --> 00:12:02.913
>> so, covenantal participation, in order to participate
00:12:02.980 --> 00:12:04.081
In order to participate in covenant,
00:12:04.148 --> 00:12:04.648
In covenant, you have to first be
00:12:04.715 --> 00:12:05.382
You have to first be in covenant relationship.
00:12:05.449 --> 00:12:07.084
In covenant relationship. so, if i'm in covenant
00:12:07.151 --> 00:12:08.218
So, if i'm in covenant relationship with you
00:12:08.285 --> 00:12:08.852
Relationship with you as my jewish brother,
00:12:08.919 --> 00:12:10.320
As my jewish brother, then that means how
00:12:10.387 --> 00:12:11.655
Then that means how i'm participated in the --
00:12:11.722 --> 00:12:13.657
I'm participated in the -- participating in the moedim,
00:12:13.724 --> 00:12:15.492
Participating in the moedim, the appointed times,
00:12:15.559 --> 00:12:16.593
The appointed times, it's with you,
00:12:16.660 --> 00:12:17.828
It's with you, it's honoring you.
00:12:17.895 --> 00:12:19.263
It's honoring you. when i first started to learn
00:12:19.329 --> 00:12:21.498
When i first started to learn about god's appointments,
00:12:21.565 --> 00:12:23.033
About god's appointments, his calendar, i said,
00:12:23.100 --> 00:12:24.935
His calendar, i said, "how has this been missing
00:12:25.002 --> 00:12:25.836
"how has this been missing from my faith experience?"
00:12:25.903 --> 00:12:28.105
From my faith experience?" every single one of
00:12:28.172 --> 00:12:29.573
Every single one of the moedim helps
00:12:29.640 --> 00:12:31.008
The moedim helps to align believers with
00:12:31.074 --> 00:12:32.810
To align believers with the will of heaven on earth.
00:12:32.876 --> 00:12:34.378
The will of heaven on earth. we say in the lord's prayer,
00:12:34.444 --> 00:12:35.779
We say in the lord's prayer, "your kingdom come,
00:12:35.846 --> 00:12:36.814
"your kingdom come, your will be done
00:12:36.880 --> 00:12:37.414
Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven."
00:12:37.481 --> 00:12:38.715
On earth as it is in heaven." >> just to define,
00:12:38.782 --> 00:12:39.316
>> just to define, moedim are the holidays,
00:12:39.383 --> 00:12:41.285
Moedim are the holidays, the appointed times,
00:12:41.351 --> 00:12:42.252
The appointed times, the feasts, which many think
00:12:42.319 --> 00:12:44.121
The feasts, which many think are the feasts
00:12:44.188 --> 00:12:45.155
Are the feasts of the jewish people.
00:12:45.222 --> 00:12:46.123
Of the jewish people. >> yeah.
00:12:46.190 --> 00:12:46.390
>> yeah. >> rosh hashanah,
00:12:46.456 --> 00:12:47.057
>> rosh hashanah, yom kippur, passover.
00:12:47.124 --> 00:12:49.026
Yom kippur, passover. but these are celebrations
00:12:49.092 --> 00:12:51.662
But these are celebrations that jesus observed.
00:12:51.728 --> 00:12:53.197
That jesus observed. >> yes, they did.
00:12:53.263 --> 00:12:53.931
>> yes, they did. >> in the new testament,
00:12:53.997 --> 00:12:54.798
>> in the new testament, all in the new testament
00:12:54.865 --> 00:12:56.233
All in the new testament as well as in the old testament.
00:12:56.300 --> 00:12:58.302
As well as in the old testament. and they connect to
00:12:58.368 --> 00:13:01.271
And they connect to his divinity,
00:13:01.338 --> 00:13:02.306
His divinity, to his messiahship,
00:13:02.372 --> 00:13:03.674
To his messiahship, to his humanity,
00:13:03.740 --> 00:13:06.977
To his humanity, to the lamb of god
00:13:07.044 --> 00:13:08.078
To the lamb of god who takes away
00:13:08.145 --> 00:13:08.579
Who takes away the sins of the world.
00:13:08.645 --> 00:13:09.680
The sins of the world. there are all these types
00:13:09.746 --> 00:13:10.781
There are all these types and pictures in the feasts
00:13:10.848 --> 00:13:12.916
And pictures in the feasts that point to jesus.
00:13:12.983 --> 00:13:14.117
That point to jesus. so, why do you think
00:13:14.184 --> 00:13:15.686
So, why do you think this shouldn't be for you,
00:13:15.752 --> 00:13:17.254
This shouldn't be for you, watching?
00:13:17.321 --> 00:13:17.855
Watching? right?
00:13:17.921 --> 00:13:18.155
Right? it's for all of us.
00:13:18.222 --> 00:13:19.256
It's for all of us. >> i don't miss
00:13:19.323 --> 00:13:19.756
>> i don't miss my hair appointments.
00:13:19.823 --> 00:13:20.891
My hair appointments. i'm sure you don't miss
00:13:20.958 --> 00:13:21.658
I'm sure you don't miss your dentist appointments.
00:13:21.725 --> 00:13:22.693
Your dentist appointments. >> well, i don't miss
00:13:22.759 --> 00:13:23.293
>> well, i don't miss my hair appointment.
00:13:23.360 --> 00:13:23.827
[laughter]
00:13:24.094 --> 00:13:24.328
I could tell you that.
00:13:24.728 --> 00:13:25.829
I could tell you that. >> but god -- these feasts,
00:13:25.896 --> 00:13:27.831
>> but god -- these feasts, these appointed times,
00:13:27.898 --> 00:13:28.799
These appointed times, are god's appointments with us.
00:13:28.866 --> 00:13:30.801
Are god's appointments with us. and when we miss out on them
00:13:30.868 --> 00:13:32.569
And when we miss out on them we miss out on a richness
00:13:32.636 --> 00:13:34.404
We miss out on a richness and a discernment
00:13:34.471 --> 00:13:35.839
And a discernment on what is valuable to him
00:13:35.906 --> 00:13:37.941
On what is valuable to him and what's valuable
00:13:38.008 --> 00:13:38.876
And what's valuable in the kingdom.
00:13:38.942 --> 00:13:40.277
In the kingdom. and so, this ministry,
00:13:40.344 --> 00:13:42.112
And so, this ministry, the road to jerusalem,
00:13:42.179 --> 00:13:42.913
The road to jerusalem, is really about helping
00:13:42.980 --> 00:13:44.481
Is really about helping people understand that
00:13:44.548 --> 00:13:46.216
People understand that it's not about appropriation.
00:13:46.283 --> 00:13:47.384
It's not about appropriation. you've gotta be
00:13:47.451 --> 00:13:48.385
You've gotta be in relationship with
00:13:48.452 --> 00:13:49.586
In relationship with our messianic jewish
00:13:49.653 --> 00:13:50.487
Our messianic jewish brothers and sisters.
00:13:50.554 --> 00:13:51.588
Brothers and sisters. but we are through covenant,
00:13:51.655 --> 00:13:52.923
But we are through covenant, through being sons and daughter,
00:13:52.990 --> 00:13:54.725
Through being sons and daughter, equal heirs.
00:13:54.791 --> 00:13:55.626
Equal heirs. we're able to participate
00:13:55.692 --> 00:13:57.895
We're able to participate in god's appointment.
00:13:57.961 --> 00:13:59.062
In god's appointment. >> you know it existed
00:13:59.129 --> 00:13:59.897
>> you know it existed in the old testament too, right?
00:13:59.963 --> 00:14:01.598
In the old testament too, right? with the sojourners
00:14:01.665 --> 00:14:03.000
With the sojourners that became part of
00:14:03.066 --> 00:14:03.634
That became part of the community of israel.
00:14:03.700 --> 00:14:04.701
The community of israel. >> yeah.
00:14:04.768 --> 00:14:05.602
>> yeah. >> they weren't originally
00:14:05.669 --> 00:14:06.403
>> they weren't originally part of the people of israel,
00:14:06.470 --> 00:14:07.638
Part of the people of israel, but they were incorporated
00:14:07.704 --> 00:14:08.605
But they were incorporated in as sojourners.
00:14:08.672 --> 00:14:10.307
In as sojourners. and they followed the moedim.
00:14:10.374 --> 00:14:11.541
And they followed the moedim. they followed the holidays.
00:14:11.608 --> 00:14:12.943
They followed the holidays. >> you know what my favorite
00:14:13.010 --> 00:14:14.444
>> you know what my favorite thing about it is?
00:14:14.511 --> 00:14:15.779
Thing about it is? one of the biggest known
00:14:15.846 --> 00:14:17.047
One of the biggest known revivals in the church
00:14:17.114 --> 00:14:18.482
Revivals in the church is the azusa street revival.
00:14:18.548 --> 00:14:19.950
Is the azusa street revival. >> right.
00:14:20.017 --> 00:14:20.484
>> right. >> and the azusa street revival,
00:14:20.550 --> 00:14:22.152
>> and the azusa street revival, many people don't know this,
00:14:22.219 --> 00:14:23.620
Many people don't know this, started on april 9, 1904.
00:14:23.687 --> 00:14:27.157
Started on april 9, 1904. it was a friday night,
00:14:27.224 --> 00:14:28.458
It was a friday night, but that year that was
00:14:28.525 --> 00:14:29.526
But that year that was the first night of passover,
00:14:29.593 --> 00:14:31.495
The first night of passover, the first night of pesach.
00:14:31.561 --> 00:14:32.729
The first night of pesach. >> oh, really?
00:14:32.796 --> 00:14:33.130
>> oh, really? >> you cannot tell me
00:14:33.196 --> 00:14:34.398
>> you cannot tell me that there's a coincidence
00:14:34.464 --> 00:14:36.233
That there's a coincidence in the greatest revival
00:14:36.300 --> 00:14:38.502
In the greatest revival that has taken place
00:14:38.568 --> 00:14:39.403
That has taken place that i believe
00:14:39.469 --> 00:14:40.437
That i believe on american soil was
00:14:40.504 --> 00:14:42.105
On american soil was in alignment with
00:14:42.172 --> 00:14:43.640
In alignment with god's appointment.
00:14:43.707 --> 00:14:44.775
God's appointment. >> yeah.
00:14:44.841 --> 00:14:45.275
>> yeah. >> it was in alignment
00:14:45.342 --> 00:14:46.143
>> it was in alignment with passover.
00:14:46.209 --> 00:14:46.643
With passover. and correct me if i'm wrong,
00:14:46.710 --> 00:14:48.779
And correct me if i'm wrong, but when you have
00:14:48.845 --> 00:14:49.713
But when you have an appointed time
00:14:49.780 --> 00:14:50.981
An appointed time on another appointed time
00:14:51.048 --> 00:14:52.349
On another appointed time it's called
00:14:52.416 --> 00:14:52.816
It's called a high shabbat, right?
00:14:52.883 --> 00:14:54.117
A high shabbat, right? >> that's amazing, yeah.
00:14:54.184 --> 00:14:54.851
>> that's amazing, yeah. >> it's a special one,
00:14:54.918 --> 00:14:56.320
>> it's a special one, so i feel like the lord
00:14:56.386 --> 00:14:57.888
So i feel like the lord has been saying --
00:14:57.955 --> 00:14:59.323
Has been saying -- i feel like heaven has been
00:14:59.389 --> 00:15:00.324
I feel like heaven has been crying out for this unity
00:15:00.390 --> 00:15:02.225
Crying out for this unity between messianic brothers
00:15:02.292 --> 00:15:03.927
Between messianic brothers and sisters and the church.
00:15:03.994 --> 00:15:05.429
And sisters and the church. >> what's the fear,
00:15:05.495 --> 00:15:06.763
>> what's the fear, do you think as you
00:15:06.830 --> 00:15:08.098
Do you think as you encounter pastors
00:15:08.165 --> 00:15:09.833
Encounter pastors and try to help them understand
00:15:09.900 --> 00:15:12.069
And try to help them understand the one new humanity
00:15:12.135 --> 00:15:15.439
The one new humanity of prayer of john 17
00:15:15.505 --> 00:15:18.742
Of prayer of john 17 or jesus as a jew,
00:15:18.809 --> 00:15:21.411
Or jesus as a jew, was and is a jew,
00:15:21.478 --> 00:15:22.980
Was and is a jew, that hands off
00:15:23.046 --> 00:15:25.882
That hands off that appropriation?
00:15:25.949 --> 00:15:26.683
That appropriation? what do you think it is
00:15:26.750 --> 00:15:27.551
What do you think it is about jewish things
00:15:27.617 --> 00:15:29.453
About jewish things that result in sort of
00:15:29.519 --> 00:15:30.687
That result in sort of a negative response?
00:15:30.754 --> 00:15:32.089
A negative response? >> yeah, i think
00:15:32.155 --> 00:15:33.090
>> yeah, i think one of the biggest fears
00:15:33.156 --> 00:15:34.524
One of the biggest fears is that in order to engage,
00:15:34.591 --> 00:15:36.226
Is that in order to engage, you have to become.
00:15:36.293 --> 00:15:38.228
You have to become. and that's a direct lie
00:15:38.295 --> 00:15:39.363
And that's a direct lie from the enemy.
00:15:39.429 --> 00:15:40.163
From the enemy. we don't have to become,
00:15:40.230 --> 00:15:41.064
We don't have to become, we embrace.
00:15:41.131 --> 00:15:42.032
We embrace. it goes back to that
00:15:42.099 --> 00:15:42.699
It goes back to that olive tree analogy.
00:15:42.766 --> 00:15:44.568
Olive tree analogy. if i'm a pear tree branch
00:15:44.634 --> 00:15:46.937
If i'm a pear tree branch that's been grafted
00:15:47.004 --> 00:15:47.771
That's been grafted into this olive tree,
00:15:47.838 --> 00:15:49.606
Into this olive tree, i'm still a pear,
00:15:49.673 --> 00:15:50.874
I'm still a pear, but i've embraced
00:15:50.941 --> 00:15:52.175
But i've embraced my root system.
00:15:52.242 --> 00:15:53.577
My root system. i'm not fighting it,
00:15:53.643 --> 00:15:54.778
I'm not fighting it, i'm embracing it.
00:15:54.845 --> 00:15:56.213
I'm embracing it. and i may have --
00:15:56.279 --> 00:15:56.813
And i may have -- i may be a pear with
00:15:56.880 --> 00:15:57.647
I may be a pear with a little bit of olive
00:15:57.714 --> 00:15:58.515
A little bit of olive flavor to me.
00:15:58.582 --> 00:15:59.116
[laughter]
00:15:59.383 --> 00:15:59.683
Right?
00:15:59.950 --> 00:16:00.417
Right? but what it is is that
00:16:00.484 --> 00:16:02.419
But what it is is that we don't have to
00:16:02.486 --> 00:16:03.120
We don't have to change who we are.
00:16:03.186 --> 00:16:04.354
Change who we are. the church doesn't have
00:16:04.421 --> 00:16:05.155
The church doesn't have to change its mission
00:16:05.222 --> 00:16:06.923
To change its mission and its outreach.
00:16:06.990 --> 00:16:07.958
And its outreach. really, this message
00:16:08.025 --> 00:16:08.892
Really, this message of one new man,
00:16:08.959 --> 00:16:09.993
Of one new man, what it does, jonathan,
00:16:10.060 --> 00:16:11.161
What it does, jonathan, is it enhances a ministry.
00:16:11.228 --> 00:16:13.296
Is it enhances a ministry. it enhances a church.
00:16:13.363 --> 00:16:14.831
It enhances a church. it gives people
00:16:14.898 --> 00:16:16.033
It gives people hands-on experiences
00:16:16.099 --> 00:16:18.502
Hands-on experiences as to what they can do
00:16:18.568 --> 00:16:20.037
As to what they can do and how they can experience
00:16:20.103 --> 00:16:21.738
And how they can experience a deeper understanding
00:16:21.805 --> 00:16:22.773
A deeper understanding of the lord.
00:16:22.839 --> 00:16:23.106
Of the lord. >> well, let me
00:16:23.173 --> 00:16:23.507
>> well, let me repeat something.
00:16:23.573 --> 00:16:24.241
Repeat something. i'll ask you
00:16:24.307 --> 00:16:24.875
I'll ask you in a different way
00:16:24.941 --> 00:16:25.375
In a different way because it's so important.
00:16:25.442 --> 00:16:27.177
Because it's so important. why do you think understanding
00:16:27.244 --> 00:16:29.913
Why do you think understanding the jewish culture of jesus
00:16:29.980 --> 00:16:31.882
The jewish culture of jesus is key to deepening
00:16:31.948 --> 00:16:34.051
Is key to deepening a believer's faith expression.
00:16:34.117 --> 00:16:35.552
A believer's faith expression. i know you've already
00:16:35.619 --> 00:16:36.119
I know you've already talked about it,
00:16:36.186 --> 00:16:36.720
Talked about it, but i just -- i wanna
00:16:36.787 --> 00:16:37.554
But i just -- i wanna keep hammering this home,
00:16:37.621 --> 00:16:38.955
Keep hammering this home, because this is important
00:16:39.022 --> 00:16:39.823
Because this is important for you that are watching.
00:16:39.890 --> 00:16:41.358
For you that are watching. >> it's so key especially
00:16:41.425 --> 00:16:43.093
>> it's so key especially in these times.
00:16:43.160 --> 00:16:43.960
In these times. i mentioned it before
00:16:44.027 --> 00:16:44.828
I mentioned it before about contextualizing jesus
00:16:44.895 --> 00:16:47.030
About contextualizing jesus to look like us or to be
00:16:47.097 --> 00:16:49.966
To look like us or to be made in our image.
00:16:50.033 --> 00:16:51.401
Made in our image. i think what happens
00:16:51.468 --> 00:16:52.836
I think what happens is believers will run the risk
00:16:52.903 --> 00:16:57.240
Is believers will run the risk of eisegeting scripture,
00:16:57.307 --> 00:16:59.242
Of eisegeting scripture, not properly exegeting it.
00:16:59.309 --> 00:17:00.977
Not properly exegeting it. >> could you explain that?
00:17:01.044 --> 00:17:01.645
>> could you explain that? i don't think most --
00:17:01.711 --> 00:17:02.145
I don't think most -- >> eisegesis is when
00:17:02.212 --> 00:17:03.713
>> eisegesis is when we interpret scripture
00:17:03.780 --> 00:17:05.115
We interpret scripture with our own understanding
00:17:05.182 --> 00:17:06.683
With our own understanding or our own assumptions.
00:17:06.750 --> 00:17:08.452
Or our own assumptions. exegesis is when
00:17:08.518 --> 00:17:09.786
Exegesis is when we interpret scripture
00:17:09.853 --> 00:17:11.555
We interpret scripture for the context
00:17:11.621 --> 00:17:13.790
For the context and the intention,
00:17:13.857 --> 00:17:14.791
And the intention, god's intention behind it.
00:17:14.858 --> 00:17:16.393
God's intention behind it. >> you're not proving
00:17:16.460 --> 00:17:17.127
>> you're not proving a scripture for your point.
00:17:17.194 --> 00:17:18.128
A scripture for your point. >> there it is.
00:17:18.195 --> 00:17:18.929

What's it's trying -- what the scripture is
00:17:20.664 --> 00:17:21.298
What the scripture is saying within its context.
00:17:21.364 --> 00:17:22.466
Saying within its context. >> 100% of that.
00:17:22.532 --> 00:17:23.400
>> 100% of that. >> this is a revelation, petra.
00:17:23.467 --> 00:17:25.202

And that light will go on. and it will really change

00:18:17.821 --> 00:18:18.722
Taking care of 'em. it makes you feel --
00:18:18.788 --> 00:18:19.656
It makes you feel -- when you see
00:18:19.723 --> 00:18:20.056
When you see something like that,
00:18:20.123 --> 00:18:20.624
Something like that, it makes you feel just --
00:18:20.690 --> 00:18:23.593
It makes you feel just -- it just grabs your heart
00:18:23.660 --> 00:18:25.128
It just grabs your heart because their father is not
00:18:25.195 --> 00:18:29.699
Because their father is not man enough to take care of 'em.
00:18:29.766 --> 00:18:33.136
Their mother died,
00:18:33.236 --> 00:18:34.571
And this little girl
00:18:34.638 --> 00:18:35.539
Is taking care of her kid --
00:18:35.605 --> 00:18:37.207
Her kid brother and sisters,
00:18:37.274 --> 00:18:39.943
And it just --
00:18:40.010 --> 00:18:41.411
We are so blessed in america.
00:18:41.478 --> 00:18:43.446
We are so, so blessed,
00:18:43.513 --> 00:18:46.082
And these people have so much
00:18:46.149 --> 00:18:47.684
Need, hurt, disease.
00:18:47.751 --> 00:18:52.122
It's just amazing what we have.
00:18:52.189 --> 00:18:54.457
And they don't have any of it.
00:18:54.524 --> 00:18:57.494
But the way it makes you feel,
00:18:57.561 --> 00:18:58.528
It makes you feel angry.
00:18:58.595 --> 00:19:01.731
It breaks your heart.
00:19:01.798 --> 00:19:04.768
It's just --
00:19:04.834 --> 00:19:05.468
It's something that should not
00:19:05.535 --> 00:19:06.136
Be happening to anybody.
00:19:06.203 --> 00:19:07.737

>> a quick commentary
00:19:38.935 --> 00:19:39.869
>> a quick commentary of when you read romans 11,
00:19:39.936 --> 00:19:41.705
Of when you read romans 11, what you got out of romans 11.
00:19:41.771 --> 00:19:43.206
What you got out of romans 11. >> when i read romans 11,
00:19:43.273 --> 00:19:44.574
>> when i read romans 11, what i got out of this
00:19:44.641 --> 00:19:45.709
What i got out of this was two things,
00:19:45.775 --> 00:19:46.543
Was two things, honor and respect.
00:19:46.610 --> 00:19:48.745
Honor and respect. when you read it you hear,
00:19:48.812 --> 00:19:50.880
When you read it you hear, you know, the apostle paul
00:19:50.947 --> 00:19:51.615
You know, the apostle paul saying, "first and foremost,
00:19:51.681 --> 00:19:53.016
Saying, "first and foremost, some one the natural
00:19:53.083 --> 00:19:53.783
Some one the natural branches were removed."
00:19:53.850 --> 00:19:57.554
Branches were removed." and for me, that sparked
00:19:57.621 --> 00:20:00.323
And for me, that sparked a love for praying for
00:20:00.390 --> 00:20:01.524
A love for praying for all israel to be saved,
00:20:01.591 --> 00:20:03.293
All israel to be saved, to see jewish brothers
00:20:03.360 --> 00:20:04.628
To see jewish brothers and sisters who don't know
00:20:04.694 --> 00:20:05.595
And sisters who don't know messiah come into him.
00:20:05.662 --> 00:20:07.330
Messiah come into him. but it also said you wanna
00:20:07.397 --> 00:20:08.932
But it also said you wanna honor the natural branches
00:20:08.999 --> 00:20:10.834
Honor the natural branches that are still
00:20:10.900 --> 00:20:11.701
That are still connected on there.
00:20:11.768 --> 00:20:12.736
Connected on there. i love when
00:20:12.802 --> 00:20:13.136
I love when the apostle paul says,
00:20:13.203 --> 00:20:14.104
The apostle paul says, "listen, if you're
00:20:14.170 --> 00:20:15.138
"listen, if you're a wild branch
00:20:15.205 --> 00:20:16.139
A wild branch and you've been grafted in,
00:20:16.206 --> 00:20:17.440
And you've been grafted in, don't get too arrogant
00:20:17.507 --> 00:20:18.775
Don't get too arrogant because if the natural
00:20:18.842 --> 00:20:19.643
Because if the natural branches could be cut off,
00:20:19.709 --> 00:20:21.344
Branches could be cut off, then guess what?
00:20:21.411 --> 00:20:22.145
Then guess what? you can be cut off too."
00:20:22.212 --> 00:20:23.446
You can be cut off too." so, i feel like
00:20:23.513 --> 00:20:24.214
So, i feel like what romans 11 does
00:20:24.281 --> 00:20:25.882
What romans 11 does is it sets a table of
00:20:25.949 --> 00:20:27.450
Is it sets a table of honor and respect.
00:20:27.517 --> 00:20:29.052
Honor and respect. god is a god who honors,
00:20:29.119 --> 00:20:31.087
God is a god who honors, respects, and keeps
00:20:31.154 --> 00:20:31.988
Respects, and keeps his promises.
00:20:32.055 --> 00:20:32.522
His promises. >> you know what else i see?
00:20:32.589 --> 00:20:33.790
>> you know what else i see? the warning there is that god is
00:20:33.857 --> 00:20:37.327
The warning there is that god is faithful to the jewish people.
00:20:37.394 --> 00:20:39.496
Faithful to the jewish people. and if you don't trust him
00:20:39.562 --> 00:20:40.964
And if you don't trust him for your --
00:20:41.031 --> 00:20:41.965
For your -- for their faithfulness,
00:20:42.032 --> 00:20:43.099
For their faithfulness, you can't trust him
00:20:43.166 --> 00:20:43.733
You can't trust him for your own faith.
00:20:43.800 --> 00:20:44.634
For your own faith. in other words,
00:20:44.701 --> 00:20:45.669
In other words, if god reached the point
00:20:45.735 --> 00:20:46.936
If god reached the point where he says, "i'm done
00:20:47.003 --> 00:20:47.737
Where he says, "i'm done with the jewish people.
00:20:47.804 --> 00:20:48.438
With the jewish people. they rejected their messiah.
00:20:48.505 --> 00:20:49.539
They rejected their messiah. they rejected the prophets.
00:20:49.606 --> 00:20:51.608
They rejected the prophets. done."
00:20:51.675 --> 00:20:52.075
Done." >> and he'll be done with me.
00:20:52.142 --> 00:20:53.243
>> and he'll be done with me. >> then what point
00:20:53.310 --> 00:20:53.677
>> then what point are we finished?
00:20:53.743 --> 00:20:54.544
Are we finished? >> yeah.
00:20:54.611 --> 00:20:55.011
>> yeah. >> right?
00:20:55.078 --> 00:20:55.312
>> right? what point do we cross
00:20:55.378 --> 00:20:56.146
What point do we cross that line and god says,
00:20:56.212 --> 00:20:57.013
That line and god says, "enough, you're out."
00:20:57.080 --> 00:20:58.048
"enough, you're out." >> yeah.
00:20:58.114 --> 00:20:58.915
>> yeah. >> but it's god's faithfulness
00:20:58.982 --> 00:20:59.983
>> but it's god's faithfulness to the jewish people
00:21:00.050 --> 00:21:01.217
To the jewish people that gives us confidence
00:21:01.284 --> 00:21:03.420
That gives us confidence that he will keep forgiving us.
00:21:03.486 --> 00:21:06.122
That he will keep forgiving us. and i love that, i love that.
00:21:06.189 --> 00:21:07.991
And i love that, i love that. he remains faithful
00:21:08.058 --> 00:21:08.992
He remains faithful to the jewish people.
00:21:09.059 --> 00:21:10.026
To the jewish people. petra, you've written a book,
00:21:10.093 --> 00:21:11.961

Unlearning religion, embracing god."
00:21:21.237 --> 00:21:22.172
Embracing god." >> yeah.

Needs the book? your child,
00:21:37.354 --> 00:21:38.488
Your child, your grandchild.

Your grandchild. they need to read this.

They need to read this. tell -- talk about the book.

>> so, this book was written to --
00:21:44.961 --> 00:21:46.496

Be a love letter to the body of believers
00:21:51.134 --> 00:21:52.502
To the body of believers and even to those who are
00:21:52.569 --> 00:21:53.937
And even to those who are wrestling with --
00:21:54.003 --> 00:21:55.071
Wrestling with -- may have fallen away
00:21:55.138 --> 00:21:56.072
May have fallen away from god or don't wanna have
00:21:56.139 --> 00:21:57.240
From god or don't wanna have anything to do with god.
00:21:57.307 --> 00:21:59.209
Anything to do with god. it's really a love letter
00:21:59.275 --> 00:22:00.877
It's really a love letter of how the lord desires to be
00:22:00.944 --> 00:22:04.347
Of how the lord desires to be in relationship with us
00:22:04.414 --> 00:22:05.815
In relationship with us in the same way
00:22:05.882 --> 00:22:06.416
In the same way we desire to be in
00:22:06.483 --> 00:22:07.450
We desire to be in relationship with others.
00:22:07.517 --> 00:22:09.152
Relationship with others. and i like to say this.
00:22:09.219 --> 00:22:10.987
And i like to say this. i like to say that this word,
00:22:11.054 --> 00:22:14.824
I like to say that this word, "intimacy,"
00:22:14.891 --> 00:22:15.558
"intimacy," is the father saying,
00:22:15.625 --> 00:22:16.693
Is the father saying, "into me see.
00:22:16.760 --> 00:22:18.395
"into me see. look into my heart
00:22:18.461 --> 00:22:20.363
Look into my heart and see not only how
00:22:20.430 --> 00:22:21.865
And see not only how i'm crazy in love with you
00:22:21.931 --> 00:22:23.533
I'm crazy in love with you but look into my heart
00:22:23.600 --> 00:22:24.701
But look into my heart and see what
00:22:24.768 --> 00:22:25.702
And see what i'm doing around you.
00:22:25.769 --> 00:22:27.203
I'm doing around you. there's so much darkness.
00:22:27.270 --> 00:22:28.705
There's so much darkness. there's so much uncertainty
00:22:28.772 --> 00:22:30.340
There's so much uncertainty about what's happening
00:22:30.407 --> 00:22:31.307
About what's happening in the world right now.
00:22:31.374 --> 00:22:32.909
In the world right now. but when we have
00:22:32.976 --> 00:22:33.676
But when we have a healthy understanding
00:22:33.743 --> 00:22:34.878
A healthy understanding of who god is in our life
00:22:34.944 --> 00:22:36.746
Of who god is in our life and what it is
00:22:36.813 --> 00:22:37.580
And what it is that he's calling us to do
00:22:37.647 --> 00:22:39.282
That he's calling us to do then we're able to be
00:22:39.349 --> 00:22:40.283
Then we're able to be really rooted and unmoved,
00:22:40.350 --> 00:22:42.519
Really rooted and unmoved, steadfast and immoveable,
00:22:42.585 --> 00:22:44.120
Steadfast and immoveable, always abounding
00:22:44.187 --> 00:22:44.954
Always abounding in the work of the lord.
00:22:45.021 --> 00:22:46.022
In the work of the lord. and so, this is to help us
00:22:46.089 --> 00:22:48.591
And so, this is to help us kind of come out
00:22:48.658 --> 00:22:49.559
Kind of come out of a religious mindset.
00:22:49.626 --> 00:22:51.461
Of a religious mindset. it's for both jewish
00:22:51.528 --> 00:22:52.362
It's for both jewish and gentile believers
00:22:52.429 --> 00:22:53.797
And gentile believers and unbelievers.
00:22:53.863 --> 00:22:55.098
And unbelievers. it's about understanding
00:22:55.165 --> 00:22:56.466
It's about understanding god's heart as a father
00:22:56.533 --> 00:22:58.301
God's heart as a father for his kids.
00:22:58.368 --> 00:22:59.202
For his kids. >> petra, i am so grateful
00:22:59.269 --> 00:23:00.537
>> petra, i am so grateful to have you with us today.
00:23:00.603 --> 00:23:01.571
To have you with us today. i can't wait to continue.
00:23:01.638 --> 00:23:03.440
I can't wait to continue. god is doing incredible work
00:23:03.506 --> 00:23:05.508
God is doing incredible work in jewish communities in israel,
00:23:05.575 --> 00:23:07.877
In jewish communities in israel, in the united states,
00:23:07.944 --> 00:23:08.912
In the united states, in fact, around the world.
