In my last call from Pastor R, he shared a couple of miraculous stories with me to pass on. But, before I do, I would like to refer to a Scripture found in 2 Peter: The Lord is not slack concerning His promises, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that […]
The Reality of the Rapture … Part 2 of 2 … 6/19/2021
Continued from Part One… It was not only the Apostle Paul who warned against mocking. We find the Apostle Peter spoke about it as well. 1 Beloved, I now write to you this second epistle (in both of which I stir up your pure minds by way of reminder), 2 that you may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by […]
The Reality of the Rapture … Part 1 of 2 … 6/18/2021
This is a reprint of an article I wrote nearly two years ago, but the warning bells for this sudden supernatural event have never been as loud and clear as they are today! Part one and two of this fascinating study will run back to back. May they encourage you as they do me! Jake Geier ******************* The “Rapture” […]
MIDEAST UPDATE…6/15/2021…”Another Muhammad submits to Jesus, the Messiah!”
I was very glad to hear from Pastor R a couple days ago. Many have asked about his status. It appears that the results of his surgery are so far proving to be positive. He is however still in the hospital as the hospital staff is tending to his many other wounds received when he, Youssef and Rahdi were initially […]
MIDEAST UPDATE…6/7/2021…”The Intense Hatred of the Righteous by the Evil One”
Shalom Friends: Thank you all for your prayers for Pastor Rashid yesterday. He called this morning to let me know he came through the surgery well. The surgery only took 1 ¼ – 1 ½ hours and the doctors removed several small cancerous masses. He of course needs to recover but said all seems to be going well. Omar and […]
MIDEAST UPDATE….5/31/2021….”NOTHING can separate us from the Love of GOD”
One of my favorite passages in the Bible is found in Romans 8. Below are three of these verses: For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us…and we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to […]
SPECIAL MIDEAST REPORT….5/17/2021
I received a short email this morning with an urgent prayer request. It appears that Pastor R and his two companions had been monitored for an unknown period of time by Hezbollah militants. They had been especially angered with the fact that followers of Muhammed were being reached and turned to Jesus Christ. This past day, Pastor R, and his […]
MIDEAST UPDATE…5/9/2021…”The Way, The Truth, The Life”
For those of you who regularly read the Mideast Updates, you will know that we put an emphasis every year during most calendar observances during which the House of Blessing missionaries see as a special opportunity for evangelism. This of course has every year included the Muslim month of Ramadan. As the reader is likely aware of, this is a […]
MIDEAST UPDATE…4/24/2021…”Teach Us Your Ways, O GOD!”
Just a real quick update as we have come to the end of another week. I received a call from Pastor R earlier in the week with a little bit of information to add to the previous update. A story which began with a man named Suleiman and his four grown sons is continuing. You’ll remember that HOB brothers Mahmoud […]
MIDEAST UPDATE…4/14/2021…”Teach us to Number our Days”
In Psalm 90 we find these words: 10 The days of our lives are seventy years; and if by reason of strength they are eighty years, yet their boast is one of labor and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. 11 Who knows the power of Your anger? For as the fear of You, so […]
