018 | A Man Named Felix: Obscurity Meets Power in a Story of God's Faithfulness

Listen Later

Hey, friend!

What are the odds? A Cuban refugee who fled as an infant. A Messianic Jewish pastor invited to speak during Castro's communist regime. A last-minute work extension. A spontaneous invitation to a remote farm. And on that farm, on that exact day, a man discovers he's standing on the land his grandfather lost decades ago—the very inheritance stolen by Castro's revolution.

In this powerful episode, host Anna Moore Bradfield shares a story from Jonathan Cahn's The Josiah Manifesto that will leave you stunned at God's precision. When Jonathan was invited to proclaim the biblical Year of Jubilee across Cuba—a message of freedom, restoration, and return—he asked Felix to translate. What Jonathan didn't know until the last day: Felix was Cuban and had always dreamed of returning. God was about to fulfill Leviticus 25 in his life with exact precision.

In This Episode:

  • Fidel Castro's Cuba: from optimism to totalitarian nightmare
  • Churches closed, pastors exiled, Christians driven underground
  • Castro's one-month "tolerance" for Christianity (with a catch)
  • Jonathan Cahn's dangerous decision: proclaiming Jubilee under communist rule
  • Leviticus 25: "Each of you shall return to his property"
  • Why Felix immediately said yes to translating—though he told no one why
  • The mysterious last-minute work extension (one more week, no more)
  • A spontaneous invitation to minister at a remote farm
  • "This is our land... this is the land of my family... this was my grandfather's"
  • Felix standing on his lost inheritance on his final day in Cuba
  • The precise alignment: exact site, exact day, exact timing
  • How every "coincidence" was orchestrated years in advance
  • 1 Corinthians 1:25 - God's foolishness is wiser than human wisdom
  • Jeremiah 29:13 - You will find Him when you seek with all your heart
  • Why your "obscure" story matters just as much as Felix's

    • Key Themes: God's divine timing, obscurity and significance, biblical Jubilee fulfilled, Castro's Cuba persecution, communist oppression of Christians, restoration of lost inheritance, Leviticus 25 prophecy, precise orchestration, Jonathan Cahn books, coincidence vs providence, God's faithfulness in details, seeking God with all your heart, seeing God's hand in everyday life, refugees and homecoming, answered prayer after decades

    This isn't just Felix's story—it's a reminder that God is orchestrating the details of YOUR life with the same precision. Every seemingly random choice, every "coincidence," every door that opens or closes—God is weaving it all together for purposes you can't yet see. If you've ever felt insignificant, invisible, or like your story doesn't matter, this episode will change your perspective.

    Challenge: For one week, start each day before your feet hit the floor with: "Thank you, God, for _____" + "God, I want to see your hand in my life. Lift the veil from my eyes." + Remember Jeremiah 29:13.
