Judah Pleads for Benjamin18 Then Judah approached him and said, “I beg your pardon, my lord. Please let your servant say a word in my lord’s ears, and don’t be angry with your servant, since you are like Pharaoh. 19 My lord asked his servants saying, ‘Do you have a father or a brother?’ 20 So we said to my lord, ‘We have a father who is old, a child born to him of his old age is young. Now his brother is dead, so he is the only one of his mother’s children left, and his father loves him.’ 21 Then you said to your servants, ‘Bring him down to me so that I can look at him.’ 22 But we said to my lord, ‘The boy cannot leave his father. If he were to leave his father, he would die.’ 23 Then you said to your servants, ‘Unless your youngest brother comes down with you, you won’t see my face again.’ https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Gen.+44%3A18%E2%80%9347%3A27&version=TLV |

Then take another stick and write on it, ‘For Joseph’—the stick of Ephraim and all the house of Israel joined with him. 17 Join them one to another for yourself, as one stick, so they may become one in your hand. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Eze.+37%3A15%E2%80%9328&version=TLV |

5 After this there was a Jewish feast, and Yeshua went up to Jerusalem. 2 Now in Jerusalem there is a pool by the sheep gate, called Bethzatha in Aramaic,[a] which has five porches. 3 In these a crowd of invalids was lying around—blind, lame, disabled.

When His mother Miriam was engaged to Joseph but before they came together, she was found to be pregnant through the Ruach ha-Kodesh. 19 And Joseph her husband, being a righteous man and not wanting to disgrace her publicly, made up his mind to dismiss her secretly. 20 But while he considered these things, behold, an angel of Adonai appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Miriam as your wife, for the Child conceived in her is from the Ruach ha-Kodesh. 21 She will give birth to a son; and you shall call His name Yeshua, for He will save His people from their sins.”22 Now all this took place to fulfill what was spoken by Adonai through the prophet, saying, 23 “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and give birth to a son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,” which means “God with us.”[a]24 When Joseph woke up from his sleep, he did as the angel of Adonai commanded him and took Miriam as his wife. 25 But he did not know her intimately until she had given birth to a Son. And he called His name Yeshua. Wise Men Follow His Star2 Now after Yeshua was born in Bethlehem of Judea, in the days of King Herod, magi from the east came to Jerusalem, 2 saying, “Where is the One who has been born King of the Jews? For we saw His star in the east and have come to worship Him.”[b] https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matt.+1%3A18-2%3A12&version=TLV Luke 1 : 16 – 2 : 2016 Many of Bnei-Yisrael will turn to Adonai their God. 17 And he will go before Him in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of fathers to the children[a] and the disobedient ones to the wisdom of the righteous, to make ready for Adonai a prepared people.18 Zechariah said to the angel, “How will I know this for certain? I’m an old man, and my wife is well-advanced in age.”19 And speaking to him, the angel declared, “I am Gabriel, the one standing in God’s presence. I was commissioned to tell you and proclaim to you this good news. 20 So look, you will be silent and powerless to speak until the day these things happen, since you did not believe my words which will be fulfilled in their time.” 21 The people were waiting for Zechariah and wondering about his long delay in the Holy Place. 22 But when he came out, he couldn’t speak to them. Then they realized that he had seen a vision in the Holy Place. He was making signs to them but remained mute. 23 When the days of his priestly service had been completed, he went home. 24 After these days, his wife Elizabeth became pregnant and hid herself for five months, saying, 25 “Adonai has done this for me! In these days He looked upon me, to take away my disgrace among the people.”[b] Prophecy of Birth to the Virgin26 Then in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent by Adonai into a town in the Galilee named Natzeret 27 and to a virgin engaged to a man named Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin’s name was Miriam. 28 And coming to her, the angel said, “Shalom, favored one! Adonai is with you. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+1%3A16-2%3A20&version=TLV |

Welcome to Eagle Wings Charismatic Ministries International
Prayer, Praise, emPowerment
We welcome you and pray that you will experience the life-changing power of the Holy Spirit. Eagle Wings Charismatic Ministries International is a Charismatic Messianic teaching ministry founded by Pastor Christiaan J. de Ruiter of Eagle Wings Charismatic Ministries.
"When I was ready to give up, the Lord our God by the Holy Spirit broke through and gave the vision of an International Affiliation and Fellowship. The Harvest is Great but the laborers are few. Even while the fields of God's Kingdom were just to be plowed and seeded, the workers are coming in to help."
Due to the overwhelming need of real, true knowledge of our origins, this ministry has morphed into a Charismatic, Messianic, Back to our Roots teaching ministry
God is full of grace and mercy, and He knows what our abilities are. The Holy Bible tells us in Luke 10 : 2 Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest. We as Churches, Ministries, and Small Group Ministries do not stand alone. The Lord has provided Labourers to help in the field.
Eagle Wings Charismatic Ministries International is one of those places, where we can tap into and contribute to the resources of the Harvest Labourers. The harvest truly is great and sometimes it becomes too much for us individually, sometimes it happens that through life situations we are standing in the middle of the field but are not able to see it. The Lord Jesus Christ died on the cross for our transgressions and sin, and received a punishment that you and I are not able to bare. God poured out the Holy Spirit upon the believers and with that on this ministry.
When you are ready to receive the blessings of a Christian Roots teaching, and you want Eagle Wings Charismatic Ministries to come, teach and fellowship within your Church, Ministry, or Home Group, feel free to send us a note.
At Eagle Wings Charismatic Ministries International we are experiencing the anointing of the Holy Spirit on our lives. Empowering (equiping) all that are under our teaching to grow in knowledge of the Word. So that they can come closer to the triune God and experience the anointing of the Holy Spirit in their daily walk of life.
