Like we can imagine you have been feeling too, we are deeply troubled by the escalating attacks on God's beloved nation of Israel, a big part of our writing this letter today. We ask that you please prayerfully stand with us as we increase our praying for Israel and her people. Whether it be the rockets that are being lobbed at her daily by those who want to destroy her people and steal her land, the heartbreaking and totally uneducated rhetoric that continues to be leveled against her from "our" very own White House, or the liberal media's increasingly relentless attacks on all things Godly, there is one thing for certain, after all is said and done ~ God will prevail!
"Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee. Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces. For my brethren and companions' sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee. Because of the house of the Lord our God I will seek thy good (Psalm 122:6-9)."
Always remember, "There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand (Proverb 19:21)." In other words, it is not the opinions of men that will prevail in these last days, it is God's Word that will prevail~ you can rest in that!
Whoever attempts to divide the land of Israel
in either word or deed will stand in harsh judgment for it. Read The Word of
God as recorded through Joel the prophet. Please read the entire chapter, along
with these frequently quoted verses:
"For, behold, in those days, and in that
time, when I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem, I will
also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of
Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for My people and for My heritage
Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted My land. ...
Proclaim ye this among the Gentiles; Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let
all the men of war draw near; let them come up: Beat your plowshares into
swords, and your pruning hooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong. ...
the day of The LORD is near in the valley of decision. The sun and the moon
shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining. The LORD also
shall roar out of Zion, and utter His voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and
the earth shall shake: but The LORD will be the hope of His people, and the
strength of the children of Israel. So shall ye know that I am The LORD your
God dwelling in Zion, My holy mountain: then shall Jerusalem be holy, and there
shall no strangers pass through her any more. And it shall come to pass in that
day, that the mountains shall drop down new wine, and the hills shall flow with
milk, and all the rivers of Judah shall flow with waters, and a fountain shall
come forth of the house of The LORD, and shall water the valley of Shittim.
Egypt shall be a desolation, and Edom shall be a desolate wilderness, for the
violence against the children of Judah, because they have shed innocent blood
in their land. But Judah shall dwell forever, and Jerusalem from generation to
generation. For I will cleanse their blood that I have not cleansed: for The
LORD dwelleth in Zion (Joel
3:1-21)."
See, truly, when all is said and done, be assured God will prevail ~ and the current grumblings of the ungodly prove it! The turmoil in the middle east and around the world, as God's Word states, must take place before the King of all kings "Jesus Christ" returns for those who love and serve Him. So, turn off the TV, log off of the web, do your best to avoid those individuals in your life who thrive on speculation, and continue on the path to becoming one with Him. As a ministry family, each of us must take the time, daily, to find a quiet place, pull down every thought that comes to separate us from God, open God's Holy written Word, ask The Holy Spirit to meet us there, slowly read, wait, and listen, slowly read, wait, and listen until we hear God's spoken Word... The Holy Spirit bringing what God gives to Jesus Christ to give to Him to relay to us, personally and in real time. And, remember always, concerning our Lord's return, no matter what anyone else says, remember this~ those that will be caught up to be with Jesus Christ in the air when He returns, are those who are caught up with Him right now! Lastly, concerning our great "home" of America, please stand with us in praying for President Donald Trump, his family, and all who are in his circle, as well as all God-fearing Americans, that God will provide for and protect all that He and we hold dear.
Right now, God is in the process of drawing all who are Satan's human accomplices out of the dark shadows and into The Light of Jesus Christ, The Way, The Truth, The Life. The wicked deeds are being revealed, many that have been committed against the people of America and JerUSAlem for many years now.
On behalf of those we are reaching with the Great News of Jesus Christ and The Gospel He teaches, we are humbled and eternally grateful to our TTM friends and co-laborers that make this work possible. By their faithful prayers and monthly financial sponsorship, we stand ready and equipped to fulfill the mission that God has for us to accomplish during these "war-time efforts", both in the natural and spiritual realms. As Apostle Paul instructs us in Ephesians 6:11-13, "Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand."
