I found a messianic congregation in 2009. Actually, the Lord led me miraculously. I had read a book entitled, "Messianic Church Arising" by Robert Heidler and wept as I realized my blindness for 30 years. I just hadn't come across believing Jews (came across quite a number of violently unbelieving Jews though!) and I lost my ability to believe the Jews were really still a part of God's plan even though the Lord expresses His love and longing on nearly every page of the Bible. As I wept, I prayed, "Lord, forgive me. What should I do?" The next day I was at the local YMCA and in the locker room I saw a woman I'd never seen before. I sensed the Lord telling me, "She's a messianic Jew." I went to her and asked if this was so and she nodded yes. She told me about the several congregations in the area and offered to take me to one she thought I'd like and, Bingo. That became my home for five years now. God is amazing.

Its congregants are wonderful people and the messages are quite relevant. There's a lot of care and prayer for one another and our fellowship is vibrant. I was especially attracted by the dancing. It had been a dream of mine when I first witnessed it at my faux cousin's bar mitzphah. I never imagined it would become a part of my life in my 50's! Lol... AND that the position of dance leader would fall in my lap! It's really a wonderful opportunity to "love the Lord with all my strength". And the themes of the songs are conducive to much prayer toward the fulfillment of end-time prophesies regarding the Jews.

Perhaps things have changed in all these years...or maybe there's another congregation around you...?

OH ! YES ! THE DANCING !! NOTHING LIKE JEWISH DANCING ! SO MUCH FUN!!!!! There are Messianic congregations around here...I'm not led to go to any 'church' anymore. But I do listen to a show called 'Messianic perspectives' on the radio. It is really good !

To EL-SHADDAI BE ALL THE GLORY AND PRAISE. My spirit and soul bless Abba Father, Yahushuah and His Ruach Ha Kodesh.
