Everyone knows that it’s impossible for non-Muslims to enter the Dome of the Rock (Temple Mount). You can’t pray with your lips moving, and you cannot even use the word ‘Temple Mount’. But some Christians entered the Dome of the Rock as Christians, and they prayed in the name of Jesus under the foundation stone at well of souls. All of this happened with the help of Muslims! How did this happen? It’s a miracle!
Let me share this video that I found! (Original video at the end the post) This is a real story!
Let’s get started! The first stranger
Todd White with cool hair and his team was in Israel. They wanted to visit the Dome of the Rock but they only had 24 hours to see if God could do the impossible for them. On their way to the Old City, they met a man who had trouble walking. So Todd stopped, prayed for him in the name of Jesus. After a simple prayer, this stranger even asked Todd to pray for his knee too.
Then Todd said, ‘hey you are healed’. The man was like ‘I must be dreaming’~ Because he was walking without pain!
Todd explained to him, “That’s because Jesus’ life is within me, Jesus healed you.” And Todd said, “Are you Muslim? I’m Christian. I love you.”
Then this man in yellow shirt left, he was walking fine!
In the Old City….
Todd happily entered the Muslim quarter in the Old city of Jerusalem (See “Free Palestine”?) He prayed for the sick, and words quickly spread. People started to come for prayers.
A Mysterious Twist?
An hour later, someone called him, “You have the gift of healing?”
Todd said, “Yes. Is it lungs? “。
“Are you doing pictures? ” The man didn’t answer the question and asked this. Todd said yes.
Interestingly the man didn’t mind, and he signaled Tod to follow him….?
Near the way of sorrow, Todd was brought to this man’s house. And there was a sick man, his father-in-law. He has pains at his chest. Todd prayed. They were all happy.
Then Todd brought up his desire of visiting the Dome of the Rock. The man said, “It’s impossible for Christians to go inside…” Todd said, “That’s what everyone says. But how can I go inside?”
The man studied Todd and sicne he was blessed by Todd (that means his father-in-law experienced healing), so he wanted to bless Todd too,
So he would try connecting to the one man who might be able to get Todd and his team inside the Dome of the Rock. So they walked about 20 minutes to see if this other man would be willing to help.
And here they were at a courtyard, the man greeted his friend, and just when he was about to introduce Todd…..
Wow! It’s You???
……!!! You??!!!! So this man’s powerful friend was this man in yellow shirt, whom Todd met even before he entered the Old City! The first man that Todd prayed for! They were both so excited! It’s you!!!
So these two Muslims who knew each other before experienced God’s healing through a Christian, started to plan on how to get Todd into the Dome of the Rock. They decided to meet at 10am the next day!
Entering the Dome of the Rock
The next day, these two men (in the same clothes) kept their promise and showed up. They took the risk in taking them into the Dome of the Rock, and stayed with them the whole time!
Inside the mosque, Todd felt the love of God the creator. We are all broken, and dirty, yet He accepts us and is willing to restore relationship with us. He truly felt God’s love is for everyone of us!
Unexpectedly, the guide at the Dome of the Rock offered to show them the Well of souls under the foundation stone. This totally satisfied the desire of Todd! He prayed here and worshipped God!
And then he prayed in the name of Jesus, right here and out loud! Wow! And nobody seemed to pray! This is impossible! It’s God who made this seemed easy!
An Experience No Money Can Buy
These two men were so happy for the success. Joy is clearly seen on their face. “It was easy!” “God opened the doors easily for us!”
And the man in yellow shirt made a good point, “There were so many people out there who wanted to go in. Even if they pay thousands of dollars, they cannot have this experience!”
Pastor Philip Mantofa
Then the scene switched to Pastor Philip Mantofa. He shared a powerful message. Don’t boast your faith. Jesus is the only way, truth and life, and I’m not trying to be politically correct, this is simple, and I’m willing to die for this statement. But don’t judge other faiths. You can only convey this message through love.
Why did they Help Todd?
These two men, hopefully their lives are protected as this video is circulating. The man just felt there was a voice inside that told him to help Todd. As simple as that!
Things to Think About
1. Every prayer Todd made was simple. It wasn’t a formaility, but the authority that Jesus gives him. So when he prayed, the sick was healed. When he released, the sickness left.
2. To let Muslims experience love, it’s not what you said but the vibe you send. So the point is this person must be filled by the love of God.
3. When the gift of healing is manifested, people with sickness, even with different faiths, will want to be close to the source of healing.
4.All ‘impossibilities’ and ‘unsolvable problems’ are nothing in God’s eyes. We are all in process, trying to learn how to love one another.
5. Be firm in your faith, but interact with others in love instead of arguments. When there’s love in your life, it will shine on your face that others can see.
6.When the Spirit of God takes action, words cannot explain but even people from different faiths can tell this ‘comes from God’. And they will be joyful for the experiencing God.
7. We are all sinners before God, so there’s nothing to boast. But God accepts us as He loves every one of us. So there is really no winner before every soul has restored relationship with God.
