Characters: 1 male, 2 female Simple set Including music by various gospel composers as well as hymns and spirituals made famous by Mahalia Jackson, this is a joyous celebration of the life and music of the world's greatest gospel singer: a humble, deeply religious woman whose expressive, full throated voice carried her from a three room shanty in New Orleans to appearances before presidents and royalty. The joy and inspiration of her heartfelt songs provide a counterpoint to

God has a plan to make one new man (Ephesians 2:15) in His Son from both the Jewish and Gentile nations. The emnity that has broken the earth since the fall of mankind in the Garden of Eden is resolved in the person of Jesus. This beautiful plan that God has isn't accomplished apart from us. It is in following Jesus into a Spirit-led life that God leads us into a unified Bride centered on Jerualsem, the city God has chosen for Himself to dwell with man. Jesus prayed for, thought on, and longed for, Jerusalem to be reconciled to Him. He prophesied that Jerusalem would not see Him again until she invited Him as Messiah back into the city. All of the shaking of our day points to the soon-coming fullfillment of this key prophetic truth: Jesus is still waiting for the Jewish nation. Simultaneously, the Jewish nation's need for a Messiah who changes the heart of Israel before He changes the politics, the army, or the economy, grows by the day. Deep division in the Jewish nation cries out for rebirth only Jesus can provide. Israel will be born again! "Yeshua" (ישוע) is the name Jesus Christ would have been called by His friends. It is a derivative of Joshua, a common name in Jesus' day. His name means "salvation." Yeshua is truly the only hope of salvation, not just for the Jewish nation, but for all. Jesus is a Jewish man. When you become part of His body, you become part of a Jewish man's body. My prayer for this 21-Day Prayer devotional is that you would grow not only in your understanding of what Israel needs, but what you need, as a follower of Yeshua, to worship Him in Spirit and Truth, which is to see Him for who He really is. Praying for Israel and learning to see who she really is, is what will cause all who interecede for her to see eye to eye as Jesus returns. Isaiah 52:7-8 How beautiful upon the mountains Are the feet of him who brings good news, Who proclaims peace, Who brings glad tidings of good things, Who proclaims salvation, Who says to Zion, "Your God reigns!" Your watchmen shall lift up their voices, With their voices they shall sing together; For they shall see eye to eye When the LORD brings back Zion.
