Would you ever make a deal with God?

In an exclusive interview with Charisma Media, Rabbi Jonathan Cahn shared the details of the bold deal he made with God when he was a teenager.

“I made a deal with God as a teenager,” Cahn says. “I said, ‘Lord, if You give me a long life, I will accept You when I’m on my deathbed.'”

However, it didn’t take long for Cahn to find himself actually on the brink of death.

“Soon after I made that deal, I was almost killed. And first time was a car accident, second time I was in a Ford Pinto…and I’m heading to a train track at night,'” Cahn recounts. “There had been a storm, so you couldn’t see, and the train came at an angle. It was on a rugged road and there was no protection.”

Having seen other cars crossing, Cahn thought the train already had passed or that the light for the track was broken. However, Cahn soon found himself being smashed by the train with only one thing left to do.

“The only thing I could do was call out to God,” he says. “The car was destroyed, and I didn’t get a scratch.”

This shifted Cahn’s perspective and he brought forth a new deal to God. Instead of accepting the Lord on his deathbed, he said he would turn to Him on his 20th birthday.

While Cahn didn’t know exactly how to call upon Jesus, he remembered learning that Moses and Elijah both went up on mountains to seek the Lord, so he decided to do the same. Being a descendant of Aaron, Cahn later learned that those from his lineage would come into the service of God on their 20th birthday, which shocked him as he thought about dedicating his life to Jesus on this same day.
