Sid: Hello, Sid Roth here with Dr. Maurice Sklar. Maurice, it’s so amazing. You were at such a desperate stage, and you call a phone number, but you don’t have this number. How many times did God give you this number in your head?
Maurice: Actually I heard a voice three or four times. I said to wait, because I had to go get a pen and write it down.
Sid Roth: Listen, he calls this phone number, and it is this person, who then takes him to places where he can get set free. And through a gradual process, he became a free man. Maurice, you’re all set to be one of the world class violinists, you’ve won awards, you’ve been with the symphonies, you’ve done everything. And then God says “I want you playing for Me.” Explain.
Maurice: Yes sir. What happened was, once again it was a supernatural experience. At the time I was teaching at Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and I was also playing as associate concert master in the Tulsa Philharmonic. I was on my way home from an opera concert, and I was kvetching, complaining to God about the opera, the music was so beautiful, but the plots are from hell. They were just so negative. I stopped the car. I was getting ready to go inside. It was late. Suddenly, a cloud filled my car. The cloud came into the car, like I was up in an airplane, and I couldn’t see anything. Then I just broke and melted over the steering wheel, and I began to weep and cry. I heard the Lord say “Son, you can entertain people for an evening, and that’s ok. But if you will go and minister and perform for Me, I will do more than just entertain people for one night. I will change lives forever. Which do you want?” And I was like “I’ll do whatever You want, God.” He said “Ok then. Are you willing to play what the world calls foolish and simple? Because I do My greatest works in the earth through what the world calls foolish and simple.” I said yes, but I didn’t understand what He meant by that. I was used to playing Bach and Brahms and Beethoven and Tchaikovsky – real music, you know. But the Lord, through a process of time of about a month or two, connected me with the Christian realm particularly, and the Messianic Jewish…
Sid Roth: And now we have Christian / Jewish middle wall of separation come down. One new man. Life from the dead power. In Yeshua’s name. Isn’t it time that you reached out to Him? Isn’t it time, in Jesus’ name, that you say “I want to know You like these know You”? I want to know You.
Maurice: He loves you.
Sid: He really does love you. This is your moment. Make your peace with God now. Maurice Sklar, a Jewish believer in Messiah Jesus, is a world-class violinist and winner of prestigious awards.
