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 […]
Christ’s Journey from the Cross to the Throne
by Jake Geier The very center point of human history is punctuated by one man whose life had a greater effect on the human race than anyone who has ever lived. Although Jesus Christ was not born exactly on the year -0-, nor did He die on that year, the timeline of history wraps around His life. The time before […]
MIDEAST UPDATE…3/22/2021…”End of the Age Harvest”
As we look back at Church history we find that no matter the circumstances, the true Church, as it was empowered by the Holy Spirit, was able to thrive and grow. We see this in many locations in our world today, including the troubled Middle East. The Book of Acts gives us many examples of this, one of them in […]
MIDEAST UPDATE….3/18/2021….”Just As I Am”
In the last update, I told the story of five men; a father named Suleiman, and his four grown sons, Majd, Mustafa, Refaat, and Aref. These five men had been raised Muslim but eventually became Islamic State (Daesh) militants. When in God’s providence their paths crossed with House of Blessing’s missionaries, Omar, Sami, and Mussa, they found that Jesus Christ […]
MIDEAST UPDATE…3/4/2021…”Yeshua, Lover of Souls and Changer of Hearts”
Most who read the Mideast Updates have a pretty good understanding of God’s grace and forgiveness made available through the Blood of Jesus Christ. Something that is difficult for some to comprehend, however, is how far the grace of God reaches. This is often especially true for believers who have never fallen into a lifestyle of sin and guilt to […]
MIDEAST UPDATE….2/20/2021….”The Tent World”
As we find ourselves in the last days of February, 2021, most of us are already looking forward to spring. That is certainly the case in the Middle East, especially in the northern areas. I spoke with Pastor R just prior to the arrival of a snow storm and the House of Blessing missionaries were doing what they could […]
MIDEAST UPDATE…2/8/2021…”Little is Much when GOD is in It!”
In today’s world, particularly in Western culture, most people find it hard to believe in miracles. Yet, supernatural events do occur. It is not true that the miraculous events recorded for us during Jesus’ 3-1/2 years of ministry in Palestine and then continued by Jesus’ hand-picked apostles ended when they had passed on into eternity. Church history is laced with […]
Remember The Red Sea! 10 Super Signs Converge
One of the websites I frequent is called “UNSEALED”, I had their latest article arrive in my email this morning and decided to pass it on to you. I understand that most students of Bible prophecy see some things from a little different slant, yours truly included. That said however, I pray that this article—in spite of differences you may […]
MIDEAST UPDATE…1/27/2021…”Looking for Another Country!”
I was sent quite a number of photos showing the difficult conditions people in the refugee camps are having to endure again this year. This is of course not something new this winter of 2021. It is however something that many of us need to see again in order for us not to forget to pray for these folks and […]
MIDEAST UPDATE 1/15/2021 The Lamb of GOD
In the years I’ve been writing updates for the House of Blessing, I don’t have any idea how many stories I’ve passed on told to me by Pastor R. There have been stories of great tragedy and hardship experienced by so many and then there are the many stories of God’s intervention and the miracles He has provided. Today’s heart […]
