Mourn With Those Who Mourn
Melissa Wilson, shares a story of God speaking through her when pastor David was visiting in Israel:
At congregation, pastor David encouraged all Israelis who felt tired or weary to stand up and for the foreigners to pray for them. My husband and I live in Israel, but we are foreigners, not citizens. Plus, I don’t feel tired. So I opted to pray. I was going to walk quickly across the room to a lady I knew and pray for her in Hebrew just for fun. As I was about to leave my aisle, a friend of mine, also an Israeli was standing up. I thought, “Well, I guess I don’t have to go very far. Look, my friend is tired and needs to be ministered to.” So, I hugged her. As soon as we embraced, I began weeping immediately. I prayed for her as the Lord lead for the “joy of the Lord to be her strength” in this time. Unexpectedly, she in turn prayed for me and my family. Later, I had the opportunity to tell her that when we hugged, when I started weeping immediately that it was not my tears but hers. She told me “I have been beaten up. I have been shedding a lot of tears lately.” She started tearing up again. I sensed the Lord urging me to tell her, “He cries with you”, and so I did. She was very encouraged by those words and we talked about getting together later. God is so fun!
