Shalom and Blessings;
Today is a day that has gone down in history. Today we remember the 3000 plus people who died in the terror attacks on the Twin Towers in New York City and the failed attack on the Pentagon which killed a plane load of people. Americans and the world thought this was the beginning of the apocalypse and tens of thousands turned to the Lord. 911 started a mini revival but sadly it did not last. Hearts were broken but pride was not and America and the world quickly fell into deeper sin and into the state we see it in now.
Psalm 6:3 "My soul is in deep anguish. How long, LORD, how long?"
Corona virus cases have soared here in Israel and we are facing the possibility of a one month nationwide lockdown. Conditions are very difficult now, with hunger, homelessness, protests and riots, so we dread the thought of what will happen if there is another national closure. These past months have been a tremendous strain on the Israeli economy with the budget billions of shekels in the red. Now there is talk of higher taxes, higher VAT (value added tax), and higher fees to be imposed upon a people who are already one of the highest taxed in the world. If there was ever a time for evangelism, this is it. Only God's intervention in the hearts of Israelis will turn things around. Pray for the salvation of the Jewish people.
Come quickly Lord Yeshua, redeem us and redeem all Israel from our troubles.
Hi Ellen here…I too have a solemn word which is motivated by love, the love that our Savior has for us. This is the countdown of the month of Elul as Jack has taught on and mentions each morning as the shofar is blown. The Lord has impressed upon my heart to give an alarm to all. Yes the month of Elul is all about retrospection and spiritual detox but most importantly about forgiveness…unforgiveness…self-forgiveness…this is so important! If you are praying and repenting, if you are standing in the gap for someone and even if you are praising but still harbor unforgiveness in your heart, if you are tithing and volunteering with unforgiveness in your heart, it's as if you are doing it all for nothing. Remember in Matthew 6.14-6.15 "…Forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses." Please hear this alarm and FORGIVE before Elul is over…before the return of our great KING.
