A Promised Land

This is a land (Israel) like no other land, a land and a nation God promised to Abram. In (Genesis 12) God told Abram, son of Terah, to leave his country, his people, and his father’s household and go to the land He would show him.

God said to Abram, “I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.

Israel is now imperiled. Her enemies threaten her in ways not seen before. We know Iran repeatedly threatens to “wipe Israel off the map.” The nuclear threat Iran possesses is a very serious concern for Israel, and is for all Christian nations. The United States is a friend to Israel, and our role in her future must remain strong. We must pray for Israel! God warns in the above Scripture; “I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse…” Israel is not just another embattled country, it is land chosen by God.

The Middle East could be one of the most peaceful places on earth if peace talks actually brought peace. As long as only one side wants peace though the threat of the destruction of Israel and a second holocaust exists.
I don’t believe God has given up on Israel, and I don’t believe He will allow it to be sliced up and given away to its enemies. But, the Arab world, the European Union, the media establishments and, yes, even our own government tells Israel in order to bring about peace they need to divide Jerusalem, leave Judea and Samaria, give up the Golan Heights and receive an unlimited number of refugees!

“…whoever curses you I will curse” is not a simple threat, God has declared it. I do not believe America will be exempt from what God said if we desert Israel. As He said, “…I will bless those who bless you” should be all we need, as a friend to Israel, to understand our important position in the future of Israel.

God will not back down on His promise to Abram nor to His chosen people. I believe God will heal His covenant land in a way that will be unmistakably by His own method. God's word (never) fails.

God bless Israel, and God bless those who support Your Israel.

Over the past few years I have been inspired by the Holy Spirit to write what He has given me; many times I was awakened in the middle of the night to write them down. I hope you will take look at these brief messages which can be found in the "sidebar" of this blog under the heading of "BLOG ARCHIVE." There may be something in these that personally speaks to you. I pray there is. Thanks for reading my blog and may God richly bless you.

By His Authority

God has given His authority. God’s plan for authority has been given to His people: authority in the church (1 Peter 5:1-2) which says, “shepherd the flock of God which is among you;” authority in the home (Colossians 3:18-25,) “Wives submit to your own husbands, as is fitting in the Lord, as is fitting in the Lord;” authority in your workplace (Ephesians 6:5-9) “Bondservants, be obedient to those who are your masters…; and authority in civil government (Romans    13:1-7) “Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God….” Authority as planned by God seems awkward and unfitting in today’s societies – not that His plan is inappropriate, certainly this is not true. It is more that people have deviated from God’s plan to what seems more suited to their personal lives for whatever reasons they justify. It is it any wonder we have dysfunctional families, government and na...

God’s Family

He provides resources for the family “For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, and abundant in mercy to all those whom call upon You” (Psalm 86:5). God’s plan for marriage and the family, in the Bible, is intended to be ideal, full of prosperity for every member. Would you say this describes your family? Maybe, maybe not, however, even if your family has missed His mark His Word deals with life realistically. Many of us experience some aspect of failure or serious disappointment with the way our family is living. Many families today are divided by divorce or living as single-parent family units. God alone can provide the needed resources and the loving care vital for the needs of these families who are dealing with life. If you are having trouble in your family turn to Jesus. He is your primary resource for forgiveness and your hope for renewal (Ephesians 1:7).   He forgives no matter if the failure is yours or it is one of those times when someone else fails yo...
