Zola tells the audience
I just saw Zola’s show where he tells of his cancer. It premired this morning on PAX and will be seen on most stations next week. Zola speaks very frankly about his condition and what we all need to be doing in our lives. Time is short—for all of us, and we should be living our lives that way. It’s a very personal episode, entitled “A Personal Note” (Episode V1622).
One thing, though, Zola filmed that when his voice was still bad from the pnumonia and the coughing that goes with that (about 3 weeks ago). He sounded “sick” on this show, but his voice is normal again right now in real life. We were at a deli yesterday and he was talking to strangers, just like always.
Anyway, in case anyone was startled by that, I just wanted to say he’s better now.

Dear Zola,
You have my highest respect. I have been watching your TV show for years. I always love to hear what you have to say. Your teachings have blessed my life abundantly. May God’s great peace fill your life, and heart. May the love of the Father be multiplied in and through you. Your ministry has impacted my life. I shall never forget.

Dear Zola,
Your ministry has touched my life over the years and given me a deep love and understanding of God’s Chosen People and His perfect plan for our lives. I was shocked when you told us of your recent illness after just recovering from heart surgery. I just couldn’t get your song “Father, I’m Coming Home” out of my mind. I do love your music and ministry and plan to support it the best I can.
Love In Christ, Jo Mills

Dear Zola, family and ZLM workers,
One of my family’s oldest friends, 30 years plus, has survived three separate trips to MD Anderson in Houston. On every occasion we prayed for her healing and return to health. Prayer and fasting works. Period. If others cannot fast then they should pray for those who do, and pray for your healing Through our Great Physician and Healer. Zola, this world would be much less tolerable without you, your ministry and all that you add to our lives…. This is not a get well soon card, it’s a get well now….
Shahalu cholim, Shahalu Refuah!
Faithfully His and yours,

Dear Zola Levitt,
As a cancer survivor, I emapthize with you and your family. My father and one sister died from this disease, but it caught their attention to get right with the Lord. Another sister, who was a pastor’s wife and a faithful Christian, fought hard to survive her cancer, yet she went Home. My mother was dying from breast cancer in the late 1950’s. After exhausting any and all medical chance of beating this disase,she reached the point in acknowledging the only way she would live is God healing her. The miracle took place, and her funeral in 2002 was more miraculous because it should have taken place 45 years earlier. My mother said she knew the Lord healed her because He still had work for her to do on earth. What I learned from observing my family’s experences and applied to myself when diagnosed with cancer in 1993 was to ask “Is my earthly mission near completiton, or are there still works the Lord wants me to do?”
One work placed in my life in the past two years is witnessing to my Jewish neighbor and his Jewish family through a lifestyle of loving them and appreciating their heritage. My neighbor is amazed every time I tell him that I had prayed for good neighbors and the Lord had planted him and his family next door to me. He knows I am a Christian, and laughs whenever I call him “son of Abraham”.
Mr.Levitt, I depend heavily on your television and radio programs, web site and lessons. So, if you should ask if your mission on earth is near completion or if there are still works to be done the Lord wants you to do, please keep in mind I need someone to educate this Christian gentile how to approach the Jewish people in her life to show Christ’s love without reproach.

Dear Zola, family and staff…
I watched the program the other day with Zola speaking to all of us about this health problem. I appreciated Zola speaking to us as a family…like a dad or uncle sitting us down to tell us the truth about a family matter. I have walked that road before myself. I have had cancer and the Lord Jesus Christ healed me. But many times our healing is the greatest one of all…our homegoing! Like the song a few years back said…”at the ultimate healing we will be home free!”
That was a beautiful song that Zola wrote and played on the piano that day. I wanted to let you know how blessed I was by Zola’s attitude. When we have Christ there is no sting in death. Yes we hate to lose loved ones but we hurt in a different way. Our deaths are the ultimate test of our belief. We can go out screeming, cussing and clawing our way out or we can lean on the everlasting arms of Jesus and lay our burdens down at His feet. Thank you for showing people that we should not give up or give in but at the same time we shoud live in the rest that Jesus died and rose to new life to secure for us.Thank you for sharing your faith with us. I pray for your healing but over all else I pray that God’s perfect will be made perfect in your life.
God loves you brother Zola…and we do too!
Love and prayers in Christ Jesus!

Dear Zola,
It has only been a short time since I’ve discovered your program and yet I feel as if I’ve known you my entire life. I have come to appreciate your insight and the strong-gentle way you expose all truth’s to us, your friends and audience. My only regret is that I didn’t discover your program and material sooner. While it is never comfortable going through these illnesses or watching someone have to deal with it, you consistently teach us that everything in the Old Testament pointed to Jesus The Christ and even through your life and your consistency in staying the course ‘Rightly Dividing The Word’ and exposing the false doctrines for all of us to be aware of proves to us once again, testifies if you will, that such faith defies the naysayers that Jesus Christ lives and for those who sleep and are/were believers will one day come out of the grave in the very same incredible manner as did the Lord. As a fellow Minister so aptly put it, no one in their right mind dies for a lie.
Zola, please know even though we may be strangers to you, we are indeed praying for and with you, because where any two agree in earth on any one thing and asked of Him (Jesus) it will be done by the Father! We appreciate your every effort to continue to teach and open our eyes and hearts to mysteries of God.
Thank you and your family for being what the scripture(s) teaches us is a Christian. You friend in Ministry, Tim Rutherford.

Dear Zola, Sandra, Mark and Aaron,
I have shared your personal message with others. Some of whom are in a similiar physical condition – and there is the “not knowing” for the rest of us. You are a strength and inspiration. I am sure that you and your message will provide many hearts comfort in the coming days of uncertainty.
But one thing is FOR CERTAIN, our faith is not in vain – but for SURE! It IS exciting to know that you will be in the presence of our Lord Yeshua (Jesus) and all the saints that have gone before you. The conversations will be so interesting and I wish you would be able to make a program with each soul that you will be meeting in heaven – that would be a long, long program!! But one I would anticipate with excitement.
I listened to your words with purpose to give me the courage to be rejected – but as you said, maybe just one will listen and one will believe.
Thank you for sharing with us all … and may all comfort be given to your family and all of us that have grown to love you and your ministry – always and forever.
I think of you often,
With much love through Christ Jesus, Yeshua Messiah

Zola,
I have been listening to your podcasts for several months now. I wish you well. As a physician, I can understand your trouble, but I am encouraged by your words.
Thank You.

Zola,
I am in agreement with John Buck’s e-mail. I have been praying for you and my heart is very sad. Have you ever mentioned the bible codes and what is your thought on them? I have always wanted to go to Israel and I have always wanted to go with Zola.

Paul & Betty Ingram send our love and prayers for zola’s complete recovery.

So very sorry to hear that Zola has passed. It will be a great loss to the Christian world. He beat us to HEAVEN, how wonderful for him. He was one of the General’s of the Lord here on earth.
God bless his family and ministry.
In Christ,

Searched for Dr. Jeff Seif but couldn’t seem to find an e mail for him yet. Anyway we want to welcome you to this new direction and are looking forward to meeting you, perhaps in the fall tour since we will be going with you. We are confident that you will carry on Zola’s burden for his beloved Israel. We will pray for you and stand with you as you take the mantel. May our Lord Jesus bless you and give you everything you will need to help prepare the world for the rapture.
May His richest blessings be yours and remember “As we give Jesus the priority, He grants us the opportunity to serve Him more completely.”
In Christs service,
Rev. Ralph & Rev. Deborah Conn

I WILL NEVER FORGET ZOLA AND HIS BEAUTIFUL WIFE WHEN THEY CAME TO WINSTON, OREGON, TO THE REPLICA OF NOAHS ARK.
I ASKED HIM FOR A BLESSING AND HE PRAYED FOR ME IN HEBREW AND THEN THE INTERPETATION IN ENGLISH.
I ASKED IF I COULD TAKE A PICTURE OF HIM AND HIS WIFE WITH ME AND HE SAID YES BUT IT WOULD COST ME $1.75 CENTS. I SAID WELL, IF I FIND TEN RIGHTEOUS PEOPLE IN THE AUDIENCE WOULD HE GIVE ME A DISCOUNT? HE TOLD ME I COULD HAVE ONE FOR FREE. I DID GET ONE AND DID PAY HIM THE $1.75. HE WAS FUN. HIS BEAUTIFUL WIFE ENCOURAGED ME TO GET MY BLESSING FROM ZOLA.
