    So, now we know specifically what to pray for, and to rebuke those “non-small” cancer cells and any chemical not doing its ordained job in the name of Jesus Christ, Yeshua ha Mashiach….

  2. carolyn mosse Says:

    Dear Zola: Praying for you and your family, for healing and strength to do what needs to be done. I already know you have the courage. Unbeknownst to you, we have been friends (via radio and TV) for some 20 years. You have been a huge help in my Walk. Thank you, Teacher.

    Dear Zola and Family,

    I am praying for you and your family daily. I pray the Lord is and will continue to be your and your family’s comfort and strength. I am also praying that you “…know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fullness of God.” (Eph 3:19). In addition, that the Lord give the doctors wisdom in their treatment of you.

    “But we have this this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;” 2 Cor 4:7-9 Amen!

    Love-in-Christ,

  4. Gary and Delores Peck Says:

    Our hearts are heavy, our prayer is for a miracle healing for you from OUR GREAT PHYSICIAN. If He does not see in His will our request for you, He has something better always. You will be greeted with “Well done thy good and faithful servant.” May the Lord bless you and your family in this difficult time.

  5. Van Says:

    Hi Zola, Just learned of your recent medical concerns from an email from Jews for Jesus
    (David Brickner). I have prayed for you and will continue to pray. I also learned that Moishe
    Rosen is looking at surgery for a knee replacement. I hope in the Lord that you both will have all
    the strength you need in the days that lie ahead. May God bless you and keep you always. Thanks
    for all you have shared over the years. Van

  6. Marietta Redman Says:

    Dear Zola, Sandra, Mark and Staff: Thank you for all of the updates on Zola’s condition and medical treatment to deal with the lung cancer that has arisen in a “sneak attack” by the enemy of God and against Zola and his ministry to proclaim the Good News of Messiah. Be assured I am praying without ceasing for God to turn this around and bring all these events to glorify our Lord in victory. Be certain dear Zola that we out here love you and will support you in all you do. I will be watching carefully the gracious updates that you are providing for all of us. I will also send in a check for material support of this vital ministry this coming week. May we all who participate form a ring of prayer around Zola,family and ministry praising God for His faithfulness and mercy. In Messiah’s name…Marietta Redman

  7. Diana Jean Wharton Says:

    Perry Stone, Mannafest, taught today on the RIGHTEOUS that will be blessed to be with the Lord and
    not allow them to see the evils and the destruction to come – as in the Days of Noah, as in the Days of Jacob, as in the Days of Solomon – and generations to come – the Lord has taken the righteous unto Himself. Perry asked the question, “Lord, why are all these RIGHTEOUS Prayer Warriors passing on to You.” This is the study he received, including the Book of Jasher, which is agreed not included in the cannonization of the Hebrew Biblos. The generation – ZOLA – who have seen the rebirth of Isra’el, may receive the blessing of being taken up to Himself, where we will forever be with the Lord God, Yeshua, may your JOURNEY be with the wisp of the angels wings that present you at the Promotion and Corination of a wonderful and Godly Messenger, Teacher, Witness, and committed BELIEVER … oh my Lord God, thank you for all You have done through Zola, and all to whom lives he has touched, the stars in the sky cannot contain the Numbers of the Harvest. That I was a small, small part – Lord, I cannot repay. That finding our way in the dark will be over and the Light of the World will shine that all may see as we will live in the Holy City with the King on His Throne that all may see. I love you God for Zola Levitt Ministries – thank you are two words that are insignificant in expressing the true First Fruits of LOVE. Diana J. Wharton
    A lost sheep that is found by God … not of the flock of Isra’el, but loved – it is amazing.

  8. Charlene Gates Says:

    Zola, I pray for you to be healed completely in Yeshua’s wonderful, holy name. I come against all cancer and command those cells to die. I curse the name of Cancer and command it to depart your being today. Cancer! You are just a name! you have to bow at the name of Jesus, which is above every name! Lord, I ask that you bring faith-filled people around Zola to encourage him in your word that says, “By Your stripes we ARE healed”. I break all word curses spoken over you, Zola, and I speak healing into your spirit. WE plead your blood, Lord, over Zola’s spirit, soul and body today and we speak divine healing and restoration to every cell in his body. And everyone agrees and says, Amen and Amen.!

  9. Tim Shawgo Says:

    Dear Zola and family, You were much younger and had hair (as did I)when God started using you in my life. You have been used to teach many and I thank Him for you. You gave me knowledge to teach my own kids and others that was not even available. Jesus “Jew”, imagine that? Having went to church as a youth and being saved at 35 and wondering why I didn’t catch the truth before? HE has changed my life and you have been a big part of that. You’re in our prayers. God Bless you all in the days and years to come.

  10. Stanton Shows Says:

    Zola, I found your ministries several years ago and through your smiles and caring, your devotion
    for Israel, I knew you were and are a servant to Yeshua Messiah! I could not help but swell with tears when I heard the news of your illness, I have looked up to you since I found your ministries years ago. I will pray without a single drop of doubt for G-d’s Will through you! I will pray for you and your family so that perplexities will not haunt you and your family. I will pray for Yeshua’s peace to comfort you as He does always! Zola, In all that we do, we know what gives us the greatest peace, to serve Yeshua by all means, from the most joyous moments to the most dire needs. Through your works for Yeshua, you have shown many people the Glory of G-d!!! Your zeal for Yeshua Messiah and Israel has truely blessed you, and you will be blessed always.

  11. Bill & Kathryn Barkley Says:

    Dear Zola and family, You are in our prayers as always. We, too, are saddened by this news, but we understand that our eyes must be fixed on Jesus, trusting always in his omniscience and omnipotence. Our family has been touched by cancer in the past so we empathize. Your tag line, Pray for the peace of Jerusalem, has always been on the front of our monthly bulletin. We are a small home based church that loves the Lord and His people. We appreciate your ministry so much and have learned a great deal from you. We have been looking toward the future when you recover from your surgery so we can take the tour to Israel with you. We pray that it will happen. We pray for your healing. We pray God will continue to bless the labor of your hands and all that you do. God bless you and your family. We love all of you. In Christ Jesus, Bill & Kathryn

  12. Jo Ann R. Mooneyham Says:

    What a mighty warrior you are! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! You have helped the Old Testament come alive for me and I will be eternally grateful. You have caused me to want to walk closer with Yeshua, our Messiah. I pray He replaces any concerns you have with His perfect peace and joy unspeakable, while He works out His will in your life. Thank you for lifting Him up and I’m praying His will is to leave you here to be caught up with all of us who love Him as dearly as you do! Come, Lord Jesus!

  13. Dortha Mae Spurgeon Says:

  14. Wayne Stokes Says:

    Dear Zola, family and ministry staff…
    Our prayers are with you all. My wife and I have been through the fiery furnace of affliction. We have faced that long dark tunnel and know that God alone is the light at the end of the tunnel and the light along the way. I will pass on to you two scriptures that really helped and still helps me through dark and hard times.
    Micah 7:7,8 Therefore I will look unto the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me. Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the Lord shall be a light unto me.
    We pray for a speedy recovery. Either way we do get healed. We are healed over here on this side of glory or we receive the ultimate healing when we stand before our Lord and Savior. Zola Levitt Ministries has blessed me and the world. I pray that this will continue. We love all of you there at Zola’s ministry and we cover Zola and all of you in our prayers. Continue in your good faith fight…in Jesus’ name!

  15. David Haworth Says:

    We all know that God works miracles every moment of everyday so it’s nothing for Him to heal cancer. Our prayers are with you for healing and we not only pray for mercy on you Brother Zola but also on the rest of us in the body of Christ who need your teaching and insights in these last days. Of course we pray for Jesus’ will to be done above all as He knows what is best but from our humble earthly point of view we need Zola to stick around with us to the end. We are with you in Christ Jesus for eternity. The Haworth Family, Mayfield, Kentucky

  16. Celia Ness Says:

    I know of many of God’s teachers That have been given less than one year due to cancer. It all seems very peculiar… time is short and the enemey is working harder? “we fight not against flesh and blood…” My Pastor was given 10 months due to bone cancer. Dr.David Cho (Seoul Korea) had a million people pray for him. Praise God his last blood count was normal. Hey what can a million prayers hurt? e-mail him he loves to pray for God’s people. He has the most praying church on the planet!

    You helped me much as a young seeking Christian, we moved and I never see you anymore. I am sending financial help for your ministry as requested. You are a most special gift from God, my selfish side wants you to stay a while longer…. the fields are white and the workers are few. We need all the hands we can get.

  17. Ed Hood Says:

    Baruch, Habob, Hashem, Adonai… I am praying to our Lord and Saviour, our
    Great Physician and Healer that His healing touch and power will be released
    through these treatments. That the doctors, nurses, technicians, medications
    and treatments will carry His healing power and touch.
    I praise Him and give Him thanks for all that He will do in your healing.

    Faithfully His and yours.

    Ed Hood

  18. Jeff Graff Says:

    Zola, our prayers are with you. Your name is added to the church prayer list, and we will commit all things into the hands of the Shepherd. We are (God willing) going to Israel with the minstry in March. While we will miss your presence, our hearts are set on pilgrimage and will continue to lift your name before the Throne regularly in His land.

  19. Danny Lee Mathis Says:

    For some strange reason, that i don’t understand, i think Zola
    will never pass away. Maybe because i think the return of Christ is so near
    that i think not one of His (Christ) followers or Zola will see death.
    But maybe that’s my way of saying…Don’t go anywhere yet Zola
    and probably that’s just my selfishness because i love Zola so much.
    Bottomline is…It’s God’s plan not ours.
    So if a Heavenly Promotion Is In Order by the Creator
    then we’ll see you when we all get home Zola!
    God Bless Your Family, Friends & Supporters!

  20. Peggy Pryor Says:

    Zola, you are in our hearts and prayers. I know with HaShem’s great blessing you will be healed. I am a twice cancer survivor and understand the battle of the mind and body…you are strong in HaShem and He is strong in you.

    Blessings and Peace.

    Shalom
    Peggy

  21. Mary Marino Says:

    Zola, This is just another attack of the enemy against those who belong to the Lord and teach his word, especially during the few days remaining. He is the Great Physician and your healing is nothing to Him. My prayer will be for your encouragement, joy, and healing. But if it is God’s will for you to go on up soon, then this is also a great blessing, because you will then come face to face with our Saviour. May the face of the Lord shine upon you.
    Blessings to you in the name of Jesus,
    Mary

  23. Romema Schlossberg Says:

    Zola, shalom!

    The peace and love of our precious Lord Yeshua Ha Mashiach be with you!
    Avraham phoned me today and informed me of your condition … I was shocked and distressed to hear the news.

    We hold you close in our hearts and in our prayers.
    May the Lord be ever so gracious unto you and keep you in His unfailing love and bless you with His sweet presence each moment and each day as He fights this battle with you and for you. Keep your eyes fixed on Him and run the race well, as you’ve always done in your life!

    We here in Israel will faithfully hold you up before the Lord in prayer. Each time I have the opportunity to be at the Wailing Wall, I will whisper your name before the Lord and insert a piece of paper with your name on it between the cracks of the wall. Thousands of tourists have touched this wall because of you! May the God of Israel hear from His dwelling place and grant you His healing and His overcoming peace in His Son ~ for you and Sandra and your son Mark.

    “The Lord bless thee and keep thee:
    The Lord make His face shine upon thee
    and be gracious unto thee:
    The Lord lift up His countenance upon thee,
    and give thee peace.”

  24. Jan Hawthorne Says:

    Ah Zola! I am so sad to hear this news!! I thought for sure that after you did so well with your heart surgery you would be with us for a long while yet.

    Thank you so much for all you have done. What a great example you are!

    You and yours are in my prayers at this time. I hope the Lord will see fit to heal you of this cancer. But if He does not, I will look forward to seeing you in the Kingdom.

    God’s peace be with you and your family and staff.

    Sincerely,
    Jan Hawthorne

  25. Doug Baxter Says:

    Dear Zola,

    You have meant a great deal to me over the past several years through your faithful expounding of God’s Word. You truly have the faith of a child and the wisdom that comes from above. Truly, only you could give cancer the old brush-off by saying essentially “So what! I’m being promoted!” Thank you for your service to God’s people, Zola, and we’ll see you soon, one way or the other.

  26. Kenneth Says:

    Dear Zola and Staff:

    I am praying for Zola in the name of Yeshua.

  27. Jim & Connie Dukes Says:

    Shalom, Zola,
    We am overwhelmed with sadness about your illness. You are a good and faithful servant of the Lord and have been the primary cause of my love of Christ Jesus and His chosen people, the Jews. My wife and I are planning on taking your fall tour to the Holy Land and it is our prayer that you are healed and will be leading this tour. I have met you on three previous occasions–New York, Dallas, & San Antonio– and look forward to seeing you again. If not in the fall in Israel, then in eternity in Paradise. Your legacy of unapologetic Bible teaching will remain long after you have departed to join our Lord. May the LORD bless you and keep you.
    Shalom, Jim and Connie Dukes

  28. Tish Payne Says:

    Dear Zola, may God bless you and heal you, either here or when you are promoted to heaven. What a blessing you have been to so many. Have you ever heard of the ministry of Hallalujah Acres. Please check it out if you are so inclined. It has been a source of great help to my health and that of many with cancer. God bless you, Tish Payne

  29. Jamie Thomas Says:

    Dear Zola,
    I want to take a trip with you to Isreal! I still need to finish the coorespondance course I started over two years ago(still absorbing that first notebook). Anyway, I was a bit grieved when clicked on to your website and learned of the news. I am praying for you to get well! I know your fate is in the Lord’s hands and is all who know HIM. Grace and peace be with you.
    In Him
    Jamie

  30. Kenneth Says:

    God bless you Zola for all the good you do for God’s Kingdom and for Israel. I am praying for you and your ministry daily.

    In Him,

  31. Edna Hamilton Says:

    Zola,I heard about what was going on with you a few days ago. Today as I read the things people are writing to you, it makes me cry with joy to hear how the love of God is being poured out on you. I saw your program today and it is so enlightening as to the truth about what is going on in the Middle East mindset. It would benefit so many if you could stay here. There are so few people who can give us the lowdown and know people who can back up what you say. Your connections are priceless.
    If you choose to go Home to Heaven, we will cheer you on, but if you want to stay we will fight with you.

    A friend,
    Edna

  32. Pastor John Beaird Says:

    Blessing to you Zola,

    We serve a mighty God and my entire congregation is joining in prayer for your complete healing and restoration. You are much needed in the body of Messiah. I have placed the prayer request also on our website: http://www.hinenimessiah.com for all to see. Hineni Messianic Congregation in St. Augustine, FL are believing for Yeshua to heal you completely. Abba, reach down this very moment and touch, heal, restore Zola body. We proclaim healing in Yeshua’s name, we proclaim restoration in Yeshua’s name. For the Glory of God. Amen

  33. BARBARA PELCHER Says:

    I JUST FOUND OUT ZOLA!! I ECHO THE COMMENTS OF ALL THE PRAYERS THAT WENT BEFORE! I SAY,”JOY” TO YOU IF PROMOTED, AND “JOY” TO YOU IF YOU TARRY WITH US!! WE LOVE YOU, KIND FRIEND. WE PRAY ALSO FOR THE PEACE OF THE LEVITT FAMILY.

  34. Pat Robinson Says:

    Thank you for keeping us updated on Zola and his family. Please let them know the Robinson family is praying for all of them. My God grant his healing powers to Zola, and, to the family a peace that passes all understanding.

  35. Linda Says:

    YOU ARE SUCH A POWERFUL SOLDIER FOR THE KINGDOM OF G-D!! PUT ON THE ARMOR. STAND & KNOW HE IS G-D.

  36. Chris Says:

    Dear Zola,I heard the news and I’m praying for your recovery. You have been such an inspiration in following Christ and your shows have been extremely helpful and informative. I hope that we can meet one day in this life or in the kingdom. Zola we all stand together in support of you and know that nothing is impossible to him who believes. My heartfealt prayer is that you recover to the glory of God. Zola you are such an incredible person and servant of our Master and I hope you have many more years serving him. Keep up the fight Zola.

    The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you,
    Chris

  37. Dortha Mae Spurgeon Says:

    My Dear Zola,
    Here I am again, I enjoy reading everyone’s comments….and the one lady from Israel Romema Schlossberg said such sweet things, everyone does Zola….You have so many friends…We all love you so very much….Fight Zola. Fight…..the Lord will give you the strength…Praise God!
    In Jesus Name, Dortha Mae Spurgeon, Redding, CA

  38. James and Martha Says:

    Dearest Zola,
    You have been a friend and teacher of our family since 1987. You have taught us so much about our Jewish Jesus, and the beautiful, God-blessed land of Israel. Please know that you have and will continue to be in our prayers daily. We have also asked our friends and family to remember you in their prayers to our Lord. You are a much loved, much respected man and teacher of the Gospel. We pray that you will be healed completely here on earth – but if He decides to take you home to Him, we know that either way YOU ARE A WINNER! This has made us more fervent in our support for Israel and her people, and also to tell others of Jesus and his salvation. God bless you friend with his peace, and may he give strength to your wife, children, friends, and staff.

  39. Dortha Mae Spurgeon Says:

    Dearest Zola,
    In my post just above I called Romema Schlossberg a lady in Israel and I got to thinking this may be a man, wanted to apologize if in fact I did make a mistake….sorry about that.

  40. Charles Says:

    I’m sorry to hear about Zola Levitt’s condition. I’ve emailed Dr. Richard Becker, who is in the Dallas, TX region (I think), and has come through his own cancer condition. I hope he can help. I’ve also emailed Zola Levitt Ministries, encouraging them to contact Dr. Richard Becker.

    In Yeshua/Jesus,

  42. Linda Oliver Says:

    My dear Zola,
    Although we have never met, I feel I can call you friend. You have always stood for truth and I know
    the Way, the Truth and the Life will stand beside you now in your time of need. I pray for complete and total restoration for you. I know it will come. If not here, you will have the ultimate healing up there. G-d bless you good and faithful servant!

  43. Wayne Muncy Says:

    Dear Zola, I was numbed when I read about your cancer. Having sat under your teaching, read your articles and watched your TV programs, I feel you’re our voice in the wilderness, telling the truth like it is in the Middle East. My prayers are that the LORD will have HIS will in your life, either way you win. May the LORD also comfort you, your family and staff.

    With love from your brother in Christ.

    Wayne

  44. Don Baker Says:

    Hi Zola and The Lord Yeshua bless you always.
    After going to Israel with you twice and setting under you teachings weekly for twelve years you have blessed me with you knowledge and wisdom more than anyone person since the Apostle Paul wrote his great letters to the Church.
    Because of your teaching Rabbi Zola I have a better understanding of prophecy and the prophetic teaching of the Lords Holy Feast days than I ever thought possible.
    Thanks and God bless you, Nancy and I are praying for you and your family.

    Don Baker

  45. Juanita Nellis Says:

    Dear Zola, My dearly departed Mother listened to you over the years and then I also. You have been in our family for many years and now my son and his family also. You have made a great impact on all of us. Praise the Lord!! You have been and will be in our prayers. If our dear Lord has you with all of us a while longer we know He will give you the strength to carry on His work. But then if He says it is time to go home, we will “See you at the House!!”
    God Bless you and we too will be in continued prayer for you.
    With Love in Christ, Juanita

  46. Sally Says:

    Dearest Zola,
    I just want to tell you how precious you and your ministry
    are to me. I am going to Israel this month with your tour
    group and wish more than anything that you could be there
    with us. Through your ministry God gave me a love for the Jewish
    people and the land of Israel. I am praying that God will
    heal you and totally restore your health. Thank you for your
    teachings and for your music that I listen to almost every
    day. May God’s peace be with you and your family.

  47. Jeannie Says:

    You have been instrumental in our teaching and training of our children for many many years — thank you! May I suggest you Please try the natural foods and way of living “naturopathic” biblical food, herbs, The Maker’s Diet, detox, massage,cleansing, rebounding(exerciser), etc. Cancer Centers of America combine allopath and naturopath treatment– it will make a difference. love and prayers!

  48. Mr. & Mrs. Conrado Gallardo Says:

    What a blow to come to your website today…
    It is the first I had heard of the enemy’s attack.
    We love this man of GOD very much, and have been so blessed
    for many years through Zola’s ministry and teachings about
    the Messiah.
    We are adding our prayers to the multitude’s,
    knowing that JESUS Himself is interceding.

    Complete and total victory over cancer and ALL sickness
    is what JESUS’ stripes and death and atoning blood have given us
    ~~~And that is what we cry out for.

    In JESUS’ love and service
    Conrado, Cammie
    Joshua, Mercy and Joseph

    The LORD Bless you and keep you

  49. Betty Posik Says:

    It has been said before by a precious saint,
    my affliction never hurt me because it never reached my heart.
    The Holy Spirit gives comfort that the ungodly cannot understand, no matter what situation a godly person goes through.I know that you feel that comfort today along with your family.
