MY PRAYER FOR YOU!

My prayer for all who participate with us at Cephas Ministry is that you will join me in this quest to take a stand against all that man has done to water down and make void the immeasurable grace of GOD. Remember that you have but a very short time on earth and you should not squander away the opportunities that God has afforded you. For some of you, you have been given second chances and various wake-up calls to turn about and serve GOD willingly with all your heart, strength and soul. I earnestly desire that you remember the widows and the orphans and aid those whom are struck down in travail. Preach the gospel of repentance and redemption through Christ crucified but avoid copying the age old religious formulas. For I encourage you to imitate Christ and the holiness He exhibited. Remember the brethren and those of us who are called out to do a difficult task in an unbelieving world. Remember that it is the responsibility of the true Church of Christ (all who are truly gathered in His Name) to equip and provide for the called ones and saints who to this day are suffering for Christ's sake in bringing the real gospel to you. Pray for us as we remember you night and day and continue to prayerfully intercede on your behalf. Do not neglect the children of your household for I tell you as GOD is my witness, He is pouring out an immeasurable grace and discernment upon the youth of today and there is a great polarization now taking place across this Nation and around the world. While the darkness increases and evil is making its advances, the righteous ones are beginning to take a stand and make a real difference. Be a part of the solution and make a difference brethren and avoid the indifference and apathy so many are afflicted with. For all the losses and painful hits you may endure in your steadfast approach to upholding Christ Jesus as Lord, your reward shall be greater with Him who calls you from out of darkness into light. Only He is worthy to be obeyed. Listen to Him! AMEN

Spoken, written and given by the authority of Christ in me.

Andrew, an emissary of Messiah Yeshua according to the mitzvah of God our Savior, and Messiah Yeshua our hope; to the Body of believers Grace, mercy, and shalom, from God our Father and Messiah Yeshua our Lord.



Beth Goyim Messianic Congregation has been blessed over the past few months to have placed there covering over the Christian National Council of Pakistan (CNC). The CNC has 1672 members in its 8 branches



As you have seen in the news there is great devastation to the country of Pakistan. This is magnified even more to those who believe in Messiah Yeshua/Jesus as there Lord. Our leader Brother Silas is appealing to us for aid.



First and foremost can you stand beside us in Prayer. Prayer for healing, restoration, strength, guidance and favor in this desperate time of need.



Second can you help us send funds to the area so our brothers and sisters can use this to get the basic necessities of life.



Mat 25:44 "Then they will also answer, saying, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and didn't help you?'

Mat 25:45 "Then he will answer them, saying, 'Most certainly I tell you, inasmuch as you didn't do it to one of the least of these, you didn't do it to me.'



I have also attached the e-mail from Brother Silas:



Res. Messianic Rabbi Andrew Dinnerman, Greetings in the Holy name of our Messiah Yeshua! Government of Pakistan is not going to apparent the real destruction and deaths caused by earth quake so that the people of Pakistan will not going to be terrified more. Millions of people are suffering from thirst and hunger and are under the open sky and have no place to cover their heads in cold weather. There are millions under rover who are unable to receive any sort of assistance from any International and local welfare organizations. With additional to this there is a lack of much food, water, medicines and even don_t have any kind of bandage facilities. The reason is that the majorities of Pakistan_s areas are suffering and are under the veil of this horrible disaster. Though the Government, local Volunteers and International Institutes are particularly engaged in relief services but still it is almost not enough. Pakistani people are also individually engaged in collecting relief goods through relief camps. On the first day, we and also the Government of Pakistan is not sure about the destruction and deaths caused because all the communication through roads, telephone, electricity and all other communication system are out of order. But after 2 days when Government came to know, and we also got the information that our branches in Lahore and Sargodha are safe but on the other hands there are many in Abbottabad, Maansaharah and Rawalpindi/Islamabad (CNC branches and thousands of others Christians) who faced this terrible disaster and lost their lives, their love ones, homes, property and got serious injuries.



For this purpose CNC Administration also donated their blood to their afflicted 3 CNC branches i.e. Abbottabad, Maansaharah and Rawalpindi/Islamabad and bought many of the medicines, bandages, dry material for eating and drinking from the market and sent them to afflicted Christians of these destructive areas. With additional to this, 5 of our CNC branches and members of Faisalabad, Sahiwal, Lahore, Multan and Sargodha, donated their personal daily use items like bed sheets, blankets, clothes and many other materials which was sent to the members of our three afflicted branches and other Christians. CNC with above mentioned 5 branches and its members arrange 22 relief camps and collects different food materials and funds.



So that the distressed people of Abbottabad, Maansaharah and Rawalpindi/Islamabad will be funded. The administration and members of CNC are engaged for this cause of humanity last 3 days and nights and we even can_t take a rest for a single minute.



For this we request you that as the other Churches, Local and International Christian Institutes are engaged in donating the afflicted people with open hearted we also want that our BGMC USA Head Office will also practically step side by side with us for the cause of G-d’s children. We hope that you will encourage us for the sake of righteous passion.







I appeal to you my brethren to stand with us. It is time for the Messianic Banner to be lifted HIGH and let all the world know that OUR G-D REIGNS.



In the service of Messiah,

Messianic rabbi Andrew Dinnerman

Subject: Our Prayers are with you brethren; From Rita & Nicholas at Cephas Ministry
Date: Oct 9, 2005 4:00 PM

Dear Brother Amjad Pervaiz(Emmy),

Our heart and prayers go out to you during this very difficult time. We hope and
pray that you are safe and our mutual fellowships are unharmed by the recent devastating
earthquake in Pakistan. Please, if you can, send us a note to update us on your
current situation and how all are affected by this recent earth shaking event.

Rita wrote and uttered this prayer just this morning for all who are affected by
this recent devastating earthquake. I stand in agreement with her and pray the same
for you and our scattered brethren in Pakistan.

Heavenly Father,
We are bringing earthquake victims to your attention in the Islamabad
vicinity in Pakistan where many were killed recently. The count is
20,000 and more expected which means many relatives, husbands, wives
and children have lost those they dearly love. Many are shivering in
the cold waiting for help in the wind and rain.
Father we pray that you will inspire leaders of other countries to do
their best to bring needed helicopters to rescue those who have no
way of getting out of their devastated areas, to bring food, and
shelter for those who are stranded without means to take care of
themselves.
We pray you will send your angels to tend to those thousands who were
injured. Father there will be many opportunities to witness to
Muslims by Christians in this relief effort and I pray that the
Christians will have the courage and boldness to tell them of You and
what a glorious future they could have if they chose You, the only
God in the universe, Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
Father Muslims have been lied to and they need to know the truth.
Plant in their hearts a desire to learn of You so they can the
opportunity to accept You as their Lord and Savior like we had. They
will repent when they can see that they have offended the God of this
universe and that He is willing to forgive them if they come to Him
and ask for forgiveness and take on the name of Christ Jesus, our
Lord and Savior.
Muslims don't realize they have little protection from Allah because
he is not almighty God unbeknownst to them. Father they need to know
the truth so all the useless bloodshed can stop.
Father open up the Muslim world to Your Word, the Bible, so they can
try it and find that it is the truth and it is the only life style
that truly works to benefit their lives and sets new goals for
eternal life with a glorious God who is just and loving and waiting
to make us His family. There is no other teaching that promises
forgiveness and peace forever because there is no other who delivered
God Himself to the cross to die for sinners worldwide. Father have
mercy on human being, your creation in the coming days which will
grow more horrific with time due to the evil grips this world and
will not be repented of.
Father we pray this prayer in Your Son's name, Christ Jesus - Amen .

If you have time, we would also like to know if you are aware of the whereabouts
and situation regarding another brother in Christ who seems to be in trouble by
the hands of some Islamic extremists.I received the following note from him this
morning and would like to know if you have any news regarding him.

Dearest Brother Khalid Mansoor Soomro,

We are standing with you in prayerful agreement that the Lord our GOD watch over you and protect you and we implore you not to fear any evil that may show its face to you but ask that you remain courageous and bold with a countenance full of unwavering faith. For no enemy against you shall prosper. Remember these verses during your time of trouble and know that the Lord our GOD is with you. Remain faithful!

Hear our prayer and petition oh Lord on behalf of Khalid Mansoor Soomro for we pray in agreement with Holy Word.
Psalms 5:1-12 <> "Give ear to my words, O Jehovah, Consider [our] meditations. Hearken unto the voice of [our] cry, my King, and my God; For unto thee do I pray. O Jehovah, in the morning shalt thou hear my voice; In the morning will I order my prayer unto thee, and will keep watch. For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: Evil shall not sojourn with thee. The arrogant shall not stand in thy sight: Thou hatest all workers of iniquity. Thou wilt destroy them that speak lies: Jehovah abhorreth the blood-thirsty and deceitful man. But as for [us], in the abundance of thy lovingkindness will [we] come into thy house: In thy fear will [we] worship toward thy holy temple. Lead [us], O Jehovah, in thy righteousness because of [thine] enemies; Make thy way straight before my face. For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; Their inward part is very wickedness; Their throat is an open sepulchre; They flatter with their tongue. Hold them guilty, O God; Let them fall by their own counsels; Thrust them out in the multitude of their transgressions; For they have rebelled against thee. But let all those that take refuge in thee rejoice, Let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: Let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee. For thou wilt bless the righteous; O Jehovah, thou wilt compass him with favor as with a shield."

And also remeber the word of exhortation from Apostle Paul to the Ephesians...
Ephesians 6:10-18 "Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world-rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Wherefore take up the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and, having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; withal taking up the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the evil one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: with all prayer and supplication praying at all seasons in the Spirit, and watching thereunto in all perseverance and supplication for all the saints,"

Also pray brother on our behalf that utterance may be given to us in the opening of our mouths to proclaim and make known with boldness of speech the mysteries of God's salvation for the sake of His gospel for which we are called ambassadors to the gospel of Christ crucified. We stand before thee oh Lord and ask that you grant as we pray in the mighty name of our Lord and Savious, Christ Jesus - AMEN

To our stricken brethren in Christ Jesus affected by the Pakistan Earthquake,

We don't wish for any harm to come to our brethren in Pakistan nor those who have made themselves enemies of GOD. However, I would encourage all who are "GOD fearing" to be bold and couragous in the face of any adversity that you may be experiencing for Christ's sake. None of us escapes the troubling persecutions and travail that come upon us because we are taking bold stands against heresy, unrighteous hatreds, false idol worships and all such sins that separate us further from a loving and compassionate GOD. There is much persecution and strife between Christians and Islamic extremists in Pakistan and many are suffering from among the ranks of our Christian brethren living in hiding places as the disciples did long ago under the face of so much adversity. If all who disciple after Christ Jesus remain steadfast and unwavering in their stand for the sake of Christ's gospel and crucifixion and do so in the context of love (an unwavering committment) "no enemy against you shall prosper." Keep your faith centered on Him and remember that we all share in the same that Jesus suffered for our sakes. In light of the recent 7.6 earthquake in Pakistan, it should be noted that both Muslims and Christians were and are heavily affected by this tragedy and this is an opportunity for all to practice great compassion, mercy and humility in order that GOD may glorify Himself that His glorious witness may be heard and seen throughout the world. For no love is complete nor safe apart from humility. As was the Indonesian Tsunami of 2004 and Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in the Gulf States of America, so too has the recent Earthquake in Pakistan afforded us the greatest opportunity to humble ourselves, lay down our swords and weapons and reach out in love to aid and assist one another during these turbulant times. Lets STOP shedding blood which pollutes the land and go down to our knees and pray forgiveness and mercy to GOD upon our sins and transgressions against one another.

Please forward this on to as many who are able to receive Internet communications.

With all sincerity and love for the truth and our scattered brethren abroad,

Rita Williams; Cephas Ministry, a humble God fearing woman in Christ.

Eze 33:4 then whoever hears the sound of the shofar, and doesn't take warning,
if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be on his own head.

Eze 33:5 He heard the sound of the shofar, and didn't take warning; his blood shall

Shalom Rabbi Andrew,

Yes - AMEN Greetings to you and those with whom you gather in the fellowship of
Messiah Yeshua.

But for many Christian pretenders in the western world and the many idolaters and
rebellious houses of the Middle East...

Isaiah's prophesy is being fulfilled, Matthew 13:14-15 "And unto them is fulfilled
the prophecy of Isaiah, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall in no wise
understand; And seeing ye shall see, and shall in no wise perceive: For this people's
heart is waxed gross, And their ears are dull of hearing, And their eyes they have
closed; Lest haply they should perceive with their eyes, And hear with their ears,
And understand with their heart, And should turn again, And I should heal them."

And because of the hardness of many hearts... Hebrews 3:10-11 "Wherefore I
was displeased with this generation, And said, They do always err in their heart:
But they did not know my ways; As I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into
my rest."

And so it happens again and again as though history seems to repeat itself because
of mankinds transgressions against our Most Holy GOD.

And because of these things, the earth is in an ever increasing travail and those
who think they see, cannot perceive and neither do they understand what they hear
because they are becomming afflicted with a heavy delusion. Though the apostasy
is being revealed today, people are rejecting the warning and reproof of God's contemporary
messengers and the utterance of His divine Spirit just as they did long ago when
Jesus and His disciples were on the scene... 2 Thessalonians 2:10-11 "and
with all deceit of unrighteousness for them that perish; because they received not
the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God sendeth
them a working of error, that they should believe a lie:"

And so very many seem to be perishing in the wake of what the secular call "natural
disasters." Yet I believe with a fully assured heart that we are right at the
threshold that Jesus spoke of where we shall have an opportunity to bear true and
profound witness. Luke 21:8-20 And he said, "Take heed that ye be not led
astray: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am he; and, The time is at hand:
go ye not after them. And when ye shall hear of wars and tumults, be not terrified:
for these things must needs come to pass first; but the end is not immediately.
Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom;
and there shall be great earthquakes, and in divers places famines and pestilences;
and there shall be terrors and great signs from heaven. But before all these things,
they shall lay their hands on you, and shall persecute you, delivering you up to
the synagogues and prisons, bringing you before kings and governors for my name's
sake. It shall turn out unto you for a testimony. Settle it therefore in your hearts,
not to meditate beforehand how to answer: for I will give you a mouth and wisdom,
which all your adversaries shall not be able to withstand or to gainsay. But ye
shall be delivered up even by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolk, and friends;
and some of you shall they cause to be put to death. And ye shall be hated of all
men for my name's sake. And not a hair of your head shall perish. In your patience
ye shall win your souls. But when ye see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know
that her desolation is at hand."

May our victory be ONE in CHRIST - AMEN

With all sincerity and love for the truth and our scattered brethren abroad,
