Parasha Bamidbar & Sermon: God's Will - Learning More

Shalom and Blessings;

As of this writing there have been few cases of COVID-19 here in Israel. This is amazing when you consider the blatant disregard Israelis are having towards social distancing and wearing masks. Beaches opened officially yesterday, but people were packing the beach here in Ashkelon days before that, ignoring the protocols set by the government. Our only hope is that God will have mercy and the predicted second wave will never happen.

Praise God! He answered all our prayers and we located a "Speech Therapy Clinic," they also do swallow therapy. It turned out to be at the same hospital campus where all my other cancer follow-up doctors are located. It was touch and go for a short while because our HMO normally does not deal with that hospital. They considered my swallow clinic request as a new treatment, so at first they rejected me going there. But with the favor of the Lord and the help of our Israeli adopted daughter, the doctor (she is a veterinarian), who wrote our appeal they reconsidered.

The IDF is gearing up for war and a possible invasion of Lebanon, plus they are routinely striking Hezbollah targets in Syria. There has been continuous movement of military equipment to the border of Lebanon and at night we hear fighter jets streaking by from their base in the south headed north. Could this turn out to be "The Ezekiel War"? If so prepare yourself for the "Rapture" or failing that, to meet the anti-Christ! Either way, make sure to be prayed-up and repented-up!

Hi Ellen here…I don't have any news for you as life is a bit sedentary for Jack and me. As you read above concerning the breakthrough of procuring a speech/swallow clinic…here's the thing:  Jack had heard from the Lord many times the night before and the morning of our scheduled appointment…"don't go without proper documentation…" but our basar (flesh), wanted to bulldoze through any red tape but God kept prompting …don't go, don't go…wait. So we were rejected and was forced to wait by HIS hand and tangible circumstances.  Psalm 31.24 says be strong and let your heart take courage, all you who wait on the Lord! Waiting reveals who you worship…the doctor or the Lord. Waiting is never wasted, it gives us a chance to look back and see what He has already accomplished for us and through us.  Waiting strengthens our faithfulness and keeps us humble! Take courage and wait on the Lord!
