I read a devotional dealing with living out ‘the story’ of our lives. I would like to share a couple excerpts that struck me. The storyline had to do with Joseph in the book of Genesis. Joseph experienced very difficult things, but also blessings. He was falsely accused and sent to prison but was later released and eventually given a […]
MIDEAST UPDATE …. 4/1/2026 …. “Be Like The Sons of Issachar”
There is an interesting verse in the Old Testament which describes the kind of men that were available to David to aid him in establishing his kingdom in Israel: “From Issachar, men who understood the times and knew what Israel should do — 200 chiefs, with all their relatives under their command”. 1 Chronicles 12:38. Little by little the Lord […]
MIDEAST UPDATE …. 3/4/2026 …. “Blessed Are Those Who Put Their Trust In Him”
In light of the fact that we’re only weeks from Resurrection Sunday, I would like to share a thought: Many of us miss seeing the perfect storm that was raging while Jesus was on the cross. Satan and humanity gave their worst, and God gave His best. At Golgotha where Jesus died, there was a conflict between the hatred of […]
MIDEAST UPDATE …. 2/27/2026 …. “Do You Not Yet Believe in Modern-Day Miracles”
After I initially read the story Dr. Nibras related in his report below, I thought of Jesus’ prayer on the cross. Isaiah 52:14 tells us that Jesus was so severely beaten that He hardly resembled a man hanging on the cross. Yet, He prayed for His killers, saying: “Father, forgive them for they don’t know what they are doing.” When […]
MIDEAST UPDATE….2/11/2026….”Our KING Is Coming!”
In 1 Thessalonians 5:2, Paul talks about the Day of the Lord, a time during which God will pour out His judgment against sin. Eventually the day of man will end, and the day of the Lord will begin. At the onset of the Apocalypse, God will once again intervene in human affairs and supernaturally exercise His direct ruling authority […]
MIDEAST UPDATE….10/20/2025….”Through The Fire”
There was a very unusual incident just a handful of days ago. It has taken a few days to get details in order to relate the story so that it is understandable. First of all, I will share what I learned from the brothers at the very beginning of the story. “Peace be upon you, my brother Jack. This is […]
MIDEAST UPDATE….10/16/2025….”God’s Word Never Returns Void”
Most of us live our Christian lives wondering how effective we are in our influence on others. We never know how God might use our impression on the people around us — even those who have no interest at all in the One we represent. But when we are faithful to make Him and His Truth known, God promises that […]
What If?? 9/15/2025
God’s blueprint for mankind foretells seasons and times that we are meant to pay attention to. God never intended for us to be ignorant of the times, including the timing of the end of the Age of Grace. Hence the title: “WHAT IF?” What if we are being given a warning shout right now that the Harpazo / Catching Up […]
MIDEAST UPDATE….8/30/2025….”The Gift of Himself”
How is it that hundreds of Muslims are reported to turn to Christ after just one miracle or one exhortation from newly saved former Muslim clerics? We hear of a spontaneous sermon based on deep belief in the power of the Spirit. We hear of an outpouring of the Holy Spirit to all those who accept the message. We are […]
MIDEAST UPDATE….7/21/2025….”Who Shall Separate Us From The Love Of Christ?”
The true scope of the terrible events of the last few days in Syria is hard to put into words. The mainstream news sources only tell part of the story. Before I share details from reports I have received from the House of Blessing leadership, I would like to share a passage from Romans for us to keep in mind. […]
