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. […]
MIDEAST UPDATE….Quick Note….7/18/2025
Greetings Everyone: Because I have been out of town a few days, I have not been able to keep you all informed with the latest concerning the House of Blessing and its work. Just in short, as has been reported in my previous update, there have been some vicious attacks several areas, particularly in the As-Suwayda region. There have been […]
MIDEAST UPDATE….7/14/2025….”The Works That I Do, You Will Do Also…”
Miracles are something not often seen in the Western church. This, however, as stated in previous Mideast Updates, is not the case in these last moments of the Age of Grace in third world countries. The Mideast is only one such location. This is what Jesus had to say about miracles: 10 “Do you not believe that I am in […]
MIDEAST UPDATE….7/7/2025….”Magicians vs. God’s Servants”
The one thing Jesus warned about, possibly more than anything else, was deception. The enemy of our souls is known as the master deceiver. With the discernment given to us through the Holy Spirit residing within us, not only can we avoid being deceived ourselves, but we can confront deception that is keeping the lost around us from seeing the […]
MIDEAST UPDATE….7/3/2025….”Being Faithful”
Many of the readers and supporters of the Mideast Updates are aware of the tremendous harvest of souls the Lord has brought into the Kingdom of God through the faithful ministry of the House of Blessing missionaries. The reports coming in from the varied locations around the mideast continue to amaze me. There is probably not one of us that […]
MIDEAST UPDATE….6/25/2025….”Jesus Is Coming Soon and VERY SOON!”
Throughout Church history, there have been seasons during which the Spirit of God moved in spectacular waves. During those times, there were great harvests of souls. The first one, of course, was at Pentecost. Although it is not seen as much in the West–at least not since the great Jesus Revolution in the late 70’s to late 80’s–there are great […]
MIDEAST UPDATE….6/10/2025….”God’s Two-Fold Agenda”
Most of us are familiar with the story of Jesus reading from Isaiah’s scroll while in the synagogue in Nazareth. Luke records it this way: 16“He went to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue, as was his custom. And he stood up to read. 17The scroll of the prophet […]
MIDEAST UPDATE….6/2/2025….”In This World You Will Have Trouble…”
Jesus did not hide the fact from the disciples that they would have trouble in the world because of their belief in Him. We find one of these warnings in John 15: 18 “If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. 19 If you were of the world, the world would love its […]
MIDEAST UPDATE….5/30/2025….Power of the Gospel
We find these words in Acts 5: 14 And believers were increasingly added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women,15 so that they brought the sick out into the streets and laid them on beds and couches, that at least the shadow of Peter passing by might fall on some of them.16 Also a multitude gathered from the […]
MIDEAST UPDATE…5/20/2025….”They Realized They Had Been With Jesus”
It is hard to argue with cold hard facts. More and more we are seeing how our Heavenly Father is intervening in some of the most intense situations in order to reach deep into the hearts of the spiritually blind. Today’s episodes will once again show the love of God for the lost. 13 Now when they saw the boldness […]
