In light of the fact that readers have often expressed interest in how Bible prophecy ties in with current events today, and especially how it affects the work of the House of Blessing missionaries, I will interject some thoughts along that line with this update of HOB recent activities. In the past week, the world has witnessed a most amazing […]
MIDEAST UPDATE 11/28/2017
As I was looking over notes that I had taken from my phone call with Pastor R this week, my mind went to stories that many of us have read in the Book of Acts. Stories of the seedling Church on the Day of Pentecost which grew into a force that has not been stopped for 2,000 years. In those […]
MIDEAST UPDATE 10/19/2017…The Amazing Grace of GOD!
One of the benefits true believers in Jesus Christ have that no one else in the world has is a knowing that God has all things under His control. There is, of course, no lack of those who in their ignorance make accusations against God to the contrary, but in the end, every knee will bow, willingly or unwillingly, before […]
MIDEAST UPDATE 10/10/2017
As I write this update, I am told that many thousands are gathering all across the Middle East for the sole purpose of studying the Word of God and to ask the Holy Spirit to make it especially real for this time and hour. There are many Scriptures that are applicable to what they are doing and one of these […]
MIDEAST UPDATE 10/2/2017
As I write today’s update, I am once again reminded of the sovereignty of God. We as humans struggle, stress, and agonize, often about things over which we have no control, yet as true followers of Yeshua / Jesus we have direct access to the One who does. It is our sovereign Lord we must trust in all things and […]
MIDEAST UPDATE 9/22/2017
As I sit here at my laptop and begin this update, I think about today’s date and all that is happening in the world and I am astounded that I am witnessing all that I am seeing coming to pass. A couple days ago while my wife, Anne, was spending time alone with the Lord, she wrote down some of […]
WHAT IF?
I had a question come to mind: If I only had time enough left in my life to write one more article, what would it be? I decided I would call the article, “What If?” The Old Testament prophet Daniel was given visions of events ushering in the seven years of Apocalypse that were revealed to the Apostle John some […]
MIDEAST UPDATE 9/11/2017
As the Middle East continues to change, the work of the House of Blessing missionaries continues. Over the last handful of years, this work has spread from one mideast nation to another. The enemy of our souls was on the attack from the very beginning of this project as Pastor R was directed by the Lord to begin ministering over […]
SPECIAL MIDEAST REPORT AND REQUEST
Those who read the Mideast Update written nearly on a weekly basis will be aware that there is a very important Muslim religious observance coming at the end of August. This is a yearly event and is called, Eid al-Adha, meaning, “Festival of Sacrifice.” It is the second of two important religious holidays celebrated by Muslims worldwide each year. For […]
MIDEAST UPDATE 8/21/2017
After three weeks of not receiving any new information from the House of Blessing missionaries, it was a welcome relief to hear Pastor R’s gravely voice on the phone once again. Although notably tired, he sounded like the inspired man who has been sharing news with me from the front lines of the war for men’s souls in the Middle […]
