I thought I would share a little of where I am at the moment.

I am currently at the Healing School for the next four weeks, and today, while studying the Word, I listened to Pastor Chris' message on "Investment in Elohim (God)." It gave me something I had never really considered before.

Every investment is made with the expectation of a return. Whether it is in business, education, or personal growth, no wise investor commits resources without expecting results. The same is true with God. He is the greatest Investor, and each one of us is the product of His divine investment.

He has invested His love, grace, wisdom, power, gifts, talents, opportunities, and blessings into our lives. The question is: What are we doing with His investment?

That thought stayed with me.

In 1 Corinthians 4:2, we read: "Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful." God looks for faithfulness in those He has entrusted with His heavenly resources. He desires fruitfulness, multiplication, and lives that make an eternal impact.

In the world we live in today—with so much uncertainty, fear, and chaos—this message is more relevant than ever. As part of the global prayer chain for the sick, I see countless people battling every kind of illness, many facing life-threatening conditions. It is both humbling and sobering.

Personally, I have made a deliberate decision to invest more time in God's Word than ever before. As I feed on the living Word daily, I can feel its impact—not only on my spirit, but on my body and my mind. It is not always easy. It takes discipline. But as you train your mind to focus on God's promises instead of your circumstances, hope begins to rise.

Every healing testimony I watch reminds me that God is still at work today. Every life transformed strengthens my own faith.

Today's lesson left me with one simple conviction:

There is no greater investment than investing in the living Word of God. The returns are eternal.

I am truly grateful to be here at the Healing School. It is an incredible environment of faith, hope, prayer, and the Word, and I am embracing every moment.

"May Elohim dwell in your heart."

Berichot,

Boker Tov, everyone (Good Morning)!

Over the weekend, I spent time reading Revelation 1, where Scripture reminds us that every eye will see Yeshua—Jesus. What an awe-inspiring and powerful moment that will be! I find myself longing for that day, while also wondering—how will it happen? Will it be through the technology we have today, or through the undeniable, physical presence of Yeshua appearing to every nation at once?

I know many believers are praying and yearning for the Messiah to come soon. And I truly believe that day will come in God’s perfect timing. But what has stirred in my heart over these past few days is something deeply personal and creative.

Inspired by this Scripture, I began writing a new song titled “Every Eye Will See.” And then last night, as I reflected on the Psalms of David—on the beauty, intimacy, and passion in his words—I was moved to write another song: “Dance With Me, Lord.” There’s something so powerful about how David expressed his love and connection with God in the Psalms.

Today, I encourage you—take a moment to reflect, to listen, and to be inspired. Whether through Scripture, music, or quiet time, let your heart respond to God in a way that is uniquely yours.

Beauty for Ashes

There are moments in life when everything feels reduced to ashes—dreams burned, strength gone, hope fading in the quiet battles no one else sees. But even there… God is not absent.

The promise of beauty for ashes is not just poetic—it is divine exchange.

As written in Book of Isaiah 61:3, He gives beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of heaviness.

What the world sees as broken, God sees as the beginning of restoration.
What feels like an ending… Heaven calls a transformation.

Ashes speak of loss—but beauty speaks of redemption.
Ashes mark what was—but beauty reveals what God is doing now.

If you are walking through fire, hold on.
God does not waste pain. He refines it. He reshapes it. He restores it.

You are not forgotten.
You are not finished.

Out of the ashes…
He is creating something radiant, something eternal, something filled with His glory.

You will rise.

Hey everyone,

Let’s be honest… life is heavy right now.
So many people are tired, carrying silent battles, feeling stretched, anxious, or just plain worn out. If that’s you—you’re not alone. Not even close.

We’re all walking through something.
But here’s something I’ve learned over the years—don’t stop digging.
I spent many years as an archaeologist in Israel, and if there’s one thing that job teaches you, it’s this: you don’t find treasure on the surface. You dig… and dig… and dig some more.

And sometimes? All you find is dust.

I used to joke that if “professional dirt mover” was a job title, I’d have a PhD in it

But then—unexpectedly—you uncover something priceless.
Life works the same way. There are seasons where everything feels dry, silent, and buried. But that doesn’t mean there’s nothing there. It just means… keep digging.

For me, when life hit hard and I lost what I thought was everything, I started digging in a different place—God’s Word. And I discovered something powerful: those ancient words are not dead… they are alive, speaking into right now, into real pain, real struggles, real lives.

So wherever you are today—don’t give up.
Keep showing up.

Keep believing, even if it’s just a little.
Reach out, connect, take one small step forward.
There is still purpose in you. There is still something valuable waiting to be uncovered in your life.

And trust me… the greatest discoveries often come after the hardest digging.

So take heart.
You’re not buried.
You’re being uncovered.

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,

Let us not grow weary in remembering those who suffer for the name of Jesus. Today, I urge you—pray earnestly for our persecuted family in the Middle East. For many, following Christ is not just difficult—it is dangerous. In places where the gospel is restricted or rejected, believers live each day with uncertainty, knowing that tomorrow is never guaranteed.

Imagine the weight they carry—the fear, the stress, the constant vigilance. Yet in the midst of this, their faith remains alive, courageous, and unshaken. Many cry out to God daily for wisdom, strength, and protection—simply to endure and remain faithful.

And still, there is hope. We are hearing powerful testimonies—especially from former Muslims in countries like Iran and Iraq—who are encountering Jesus and boldly sharing Him within their communities. God is moving, even in the darkest places.

Every prayer matters. Every voice lifted in faith strengthens them.

As someone who once worked as an archaeologist in the Middle East, this is deeply personal to me. I have seen the land, met the people, and carry a burden in my heart for them.

So let us rise together—let our prayers be heard. Pray for protection, for courage, for provision, and for the light of Christ to shine even brighter through them.

They are not alone. And neither are we.

Meditating on God’s Word is not just reading—it’s activating life within you.

When Scripture says, “This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth” (Joshua 1:8), it reveals something profound: speaking God’s Word aligns your mind, your heart, and even your body with His truth. What you speak, you begin to believe. What you believe, shapes how you live.

God’s Word renews the mind, calms anxiety, and releases peace in the midst of chaos. It strengthens faith, brings clarity in confusion, and becomes a refuge in difficult times.

Meditation is like “chewing” on Scripture—slowly, deeply, intentionally—until it becomes part of you. And in that place, God begins to transform your thoughts, your perspective, and your life.

Stay in the Word. Speak it. Live it.
There is power in it. MJ

There was a moment when Jesus Christ stood before the crowds and said, “If they keep quiet, the stones will cry out.”

And I have often wondered…
what would those stones say, if we truly listened?

I have walked the dust of Jerusalem,
where prophets once wept,
where kings once ruled,
and where the Messiah once carried redemption through its narrow streets.

Beneath my feet, the stones were never silent.

They whispered in broken pottery,
they sang through ancient walls,
they testified in layers of ash and ruin—
not of myth, but of memory… not of legend, but of truth.

Every shard I lifted from the soil
felt like a voice rising from time itself.
A quiet declaration that the words of Scripture
are not confined to ink and parchment—
they are etched into the very bones of the الأرض.

I have seen stones that remember King David,
walls that echo the footsteps of King Solomon,
and pathways that once bore the weight of the Savior.

And in those moments,
faith was no longer something I only believed—
it became something I could touch.

But the stones are still speaking today.

Not only in the hills of Israel,
but in the quiet places of our lives—
in our trials,
in our unanswered questions,
in the places where God seems silent.

Because sometimes…
when our voices fail,
when our prayers feel empty,
when our hearts grow weary—

God lets the stones speak for us.

They remind us:
He has always been faithful.
He has always been present.
He has always left evidence of His glory
for those willing to see.

And I, once an archaeologist in the land of promise,
stand as a living testimony—
that the same God who wrote His story in stone
has written His grace into my life.

So if ever you feel silence around you…
listen closely.

Because the stones are still crying out.
