I have had several direct calls from the Middle East in the last week, each one more awe-inspiring than the one before it. I am afraid it is way too easy for those of us living in the West where life still has some semblance of normalcy, to see the rest of the world as something off of this planet. […]
MIDEAST UPDATE, 9/23/2014
As I was contemplating the different things to include in today’s update, I reread Revelation 6, paying special attention to the fifth seal which is found in verses 9-11. It reads like this: When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God and the […]
“Suddenly!”, Part 8 (Apocalyptic Red Horse and Rider)
Often, those who pay special attention to current events and how they fit into the prophecies of the Holy Scriptures, are thought to be out of balance–sometimes even leaning toward fringe areas. Yet, as time passes, prophecy is fulfilled one Biblical prediction at a time, and things earlier seen as on the fringe become recognized as surprisingly quite real. Having […]
How To Walk In Intimacy With God, Part 13 (Final)
There is a vast difference between knowing about God, and “knowing” God. Our churches, Bible colleges and seminaries, are full of people who have accumulated a great deal of knowledge “about” God. Some a doctorate in theology and received high marks for their thesis, yet they do not “know” God! We have evangelists who are in great demand to speak […]
How To Walk In Intimacy With God, Part 12
Jesus had told His followers, “If you love me, you will keep my commandments.” Obedience to God is something many make light of. Yet, Jesus did associate love with obedience! When we trulyloveHim, obeying Him and His commandments becomes a natural outcome of our life as a believer. The two work together to draw us into intimacy with God. We […]
MIDEAST UPDATE, 9/1/2014
Time Running Out! I have more news to share after receiving another weekly call from Syria. One thing that becomes more apparent every week is the fact that time is running out. Most of us–even in the West, are getting at least some of the disturbing news from the Mideast and it is becoming increasingly obvious that there is a […]
CRUCIAL TIMES
Quite often in recent times I have experienced an urgency in my soul. This is one of those times so I must set aside everything else I have been working on and share some thoughts that are crowding my mind today, including what I believe is coming at us in our immediate future. As most of us know, we are […]
MIDEAST UPDATE, 8/28/2014
“The Fire of GOD” It seems, the more difficult or impossible the circumstances, the more God shows Himself strong on behalf of those that love Him and commit to His ways. The Bible speaks of great exploits that will be done by the followers of Christ. Some of the accounts of miracles I am receiving are stories I could not […]
MIDEAST UPDATE, 8/14/2014
“Greater Love Hath No Man” There are stories and then there are stories. Some are forgotten not long after they are read. Then there are the stories you find yourself going over again and again in your mind. So many times in the last two years I have tried to imagine myself in some of the stories that have been […]
MIDEAST UPDATE, 8/7/2014
THE WIDOW SISTERHOOD Earlier this year, R**** shared with us the story of a Syrian woman who witnessed the murder of her husband at the hands of her son, because he refused to deny his new-found faith in Jesus Christ. What happened when her son demanded that she deny Christ in front of close to 400 witnesses has been told […]
