An experience with a Rabbi

On the day of my talk in Jerusalem (2017) I walked from my hotel towards the Cinemateque.

I stopped on the road to check my notes.

I noticed out of the corner of my eye - a man coming towards me . He was dressed in black clothes - Black trousers and coat

a wide brimmed black fedora hat , and black shoes . He asked me what I was doing ? He nearly got a full Glasgow retort !

Anyway , I told him I was looking at notes for a talk in the Cinemateque. I told him the talk was about Love and Reconciliation.

He proceeded to tell me the Hebrew word for Love -Ahavah , explaining what the word meant , as he was speaking - the Holy Spirit

seized me and I said to him forcibly -"There is Power in The Name Of Jesus" he looked startled. Anyway the conversation continued,

until once again the Holy Spirit seized me , I again said forcibly "There is Power In The Name Of Jesus"......after the unusual conversation we exchanged emails

and I went to the Cinemateque and completed my talk (I did mention during my talk that I had met the stranger and he told me the Hebrew for Love}

After the visit to Jerusalem when I was back in Glasgow , I emailed the stranger and he replied immediately ...."I need to speak to you - something happened to me ?"

So i sent him my tel no ( my wife is a witness to all that happened) He phoned me immediately after I sent my tel no - he told me " What was it that you said to me on the hill

that day in Jerusalem , I said " There Is Power In The Name Of Jesus" he replied "Ah thats it" - he continued " The following day I was strolling by the spot where we had our

discussion , at the exact spot , I accidentally dropped my mobile phone . When I bent down to pick up my phone , there was a leaflet lying on the ground . When I looked

at the leaflet , I was astonished to see the writing on it , it said " There Is Power In The Name Of Jesus". he then asked me "What is it that you do?2 I told him I was a Christian Evangelist.

During the tel conversation , he asked me to say a prayer over him , which i did . I sensed something spiritual happened to him during the prayer. Anyway the conversation finished , and he told me

he would phone me the next day - which he did . During the second phone call , he told me that he was a Rabbi , i immediately said to him " So was Jesus !" there was a silence at the other end of the phone ! obviously something resonated with him ...then he continued " Every time I think of the name of Jesus I get a powerful feeling of Love in my heart , he continued But I don't like Jesus !" I replied immediately - "Well he likes you!" again there was silence ...then I said to him , " You are having a Messianic Experience , Jesus - Yeshua is transforming your heart towards him !"

After a few moments he asked me to pray over him again . So this series of calls ended . I still hear from him occasionally ...

So there you have it Stephen - a True story about the Power in Jesus name ....I share this story sometimes at my talks , I told Ovadyah this whole story, no reaction !!

Praise and Glory to Yeshua .
