There are a number of Scriptures that remind us that we should be aware of the crucial nature of “time”: “See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is.” Ephesians 5:15-17 NKJV “Walk in wisdom […]
MIDEAST UPDATE…5/2/2024…”Times and Seasons”
One of the disturbing facts that is becoming clearer by the day is that there are those in our world who, even though unelected by the populous, are in a position to make decisions according to their agenda that adversely affect everyone on the planet. A question that inevitably crosses our minds and sometimes plagues people is: Does God not […]
MIDEAST UPDATE…1/30/2024…”White As Snow”
As Christ-followers, one of the most important parts of the message we share with the world around us is the fact that mankind, in its fallen condition, needs redemption. This necessitates a supernatural act. The only hope for mankind is the supernatural provision which came by way of Jesus Christ, His crucifixion and the power of His shed blood to […]
MIDEAST UPDATE…1/10/2024…”This World Is Not Our Home”
As we begin an already turbulent year of 2024, it is important for all of us, as believers and followers of Jesus Christ, to keep our bearing and maintain a proper perspective on what our lives here on this earth are all about and where we are going. We must remember we are just passing through. The Apostle Peter put […]
MIDEAST UPDATE…12/19/2023…”WHAT CHILD IS THIS?”
Greetings Everyone: A well known verse of Scripture that is brought to the forefront of our thoughts at this time of year is found in Micah 5:2. It reads: But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of you shall come forth from Me the One to be Ruler in Israel, Whose goings […]
MIDEAST UPDATE…12/5/2023…”Planting Seed”
Greetings Everyone: In my latest conversation with brother Talal, we discussed the week or relative quiet experienced due to the temporary pause in the war between the Hamas terrorists and the Israeli Defense Force. During this time, Hamas required an exchange of three Palestinians for every hostage released. The hostages released were primarily women, elderly, and children. The prisoners also […]
MIDEAST UPDATE….10/31/2023….”Only One Life To Live”
I have a very short Mideast update today but before I share it, I would like to share a few short thoughts that I may or may have not shared at some time in the past. I have several devotionals that I read most every day. One of them is Jonathan Cahn’s “Book of Mysteries.” A devotional I’ve read several […]
MIDEAST UPDATE…10/17/2023…”Wars, Rumors and Threats of Wars”
The Mideast Updates are generally focused on what is happening in regard to the missionary work of the House of the Blessing. As most of the world knows, however, Israel was viciously attacked by the Hamas terrorist group and because of the extreme brutality and extent of the attack, Israel is left with no option but to do everything in […]
MIDEAST UPDATE…10/14/2023…”Be Still and Know I’m GOD!”
Greetings Everyone: I wanted to send out a very short special update because so many have been concerned about the safety of Brother Talal and others in light of the things that are happening in Israel. I spoke to him a couple days ago and he confirmed many of the things that we’ve heard in the news concerning the devastating […]
MIDEAST UPDATE…10/9/2023…”A Little Boy Walks!”
I know that everyone is wondering how Pastor R is doing. I was able to get an update from Brother Talal but he said his condition has not changed. He is still in a coma and is on total life-support. My prayer, as well as yours I’m sure, is that God would either raise him up to where he can […]
