dear Michael,
I am in Tiberias area of the Sea of Galilee.
Yesterday, we went to Cesarea, saw the amphitheatre, mansions of Herod ruins, the ruins of the 2nd largest port in the world at that time, built by Herod, the Hippodrome and the mediterranean sea right there. Historians think that the Apostle Paul was under house arrest at Herod's mansions there; if so, it would have been a really comfortable imprisonment!
Ceasarea was a real pagan center, something like San Francisco, and God poured out Salvation to the Gentiles right there in Ceasarea for the first time!
What mercy and grace of God!
Then we went to Mt. Carmel, where Elijah confronted the 450 prophets of Baal, who were on Jezebele's payroll. Art Katz spoke the Word of the Lord from this location, and prayed a powerful prayer and I felt like the "fire of God" came pouring down on us---I could hardly move!
Then we went to the Basilica of the Annunciation, Nazereth, where the Angel of the Lord announced the good news of the conception for the birth of Jesus that would ensue.
This is very likely, the location, because historical evidence from relatives of Jesus are historically documented for 200 years after his death, and point to that place; and also Christian pilgrims have been coming there since 200 years after his death and leaving graffitti, like Mary lived here, and hail Mary!, etc.
Then we drove thru Cana of the Galilee, where Jesus turned the water into wine at the wedding feast.
It was a real spiritually powerful day!
Today, 03/31/04
Here's our schedule:
IT WAS FULL!
We started out in the morning and went to Korazin, where Jesus said, "woe! to you Korazin, if the works were done in Sadom and Gemorrah that were done in you, they would have repented long ago!"
Jesus "hung out" in Capernaum, Korazin and Bethsaida, as a regular place of testimony and fellowship, and the people there regularly enjoyed his teachings and anointing, and were blessed with him, but weren't willing to personally repent and change their lifestyle and surrender their lifes to the Lord!
They enjoyed the anointing, but weren't willing to pay the price!
We had a rollacking biblical debate between the tour guide and Art in reference to Jewish thought towards God and true Christian belief/action toward God...
in other words, the walk of faith by the spirit vs. works...the discussion went into the most incredible detail, I have ever experienced--definately, delivering experience!
Mark Koch is recording these invaluable gems/jewels that are being said/released into the environment and is going to give me a copy of it all when we get home!
Then we went to the Mt. of Beatitudes, where Jesus gave the sermon on the mount. Art Katz compared it to Moses delivery on Mt Sinai---we'll release a copy of it the near future! He said Jesus was totally dependent on God, and opened up His mouth and God filled it and he spoke!
Then we went to Tabgha, where Peter reconciled with the Lord after His resurrection! It was incredible, spiritually, there.
Again, the rock where the locals testified that it took place, and historically documented. Then a church was built and evolved over the ages, surrounding it, to protect it. Art shared on Peter, if you REALLY love me, you'll:
1) tend my sheep---take good care of my people besides feeding them my word.
2) feed my lambs--take care of my immature new babes in the Lord!
3) feed my sheep---much more than than just preach my word---receive nurishment and the fullness behind the word given by my spirit!
There is much more to this in understanding than I previously had!
Then we had lunch at an Arab Christian restaurant at the sea of Galilee, and the spirit of prophesy rose up in me and I prophesied to the waiter, a moslem
and the Lord gave me a Word to speak to him and he received it wide-eyed and very humbly and before God, he bowed. It really touched my heart, incredibly!
Then we went to Capernaum, where Peter lived and Jesus spent most of his time.
It was an incredible excavation uncovered---actually Peter's home, and surrounding area.
Then we went for a boat ride from Capernaum across to Kibbutz Kinneret, where the 2000 year old ancient boat from the 1st century, exactly around Jesus' time was discovered, when in a drought time about 10+ years ago, on the shores of the Galilee sea.
IT WAS ANOTHER AWESOME DAY! Filled with Prophesy, articulate right dividing of God's word (that will be shared in depth in the near future, upon
my return home!) and the eyes of understanding constantly being enlightened; delivered with grace and power; and bringing healing, deliverance, and greater commitment to the Lord!
