There are several news reports coming out of the Middle East in the past week that have had a direct effect of the House of Blessing and its missionaries. I was able to ask Pastor R about these events a couple days ago when he called. One of the incidents was of a chemical attack just northwest of Aleppo, Syria. […]
MIDEAST UPDATE 11/20/2018 “And The Miracles Multiply!”
The encounter with one of God’s angels that Pastor Farid had after having been left for dead from his injuries in a garbage dump is a story that brings encouragement and also great praise to our God. We find these words about angels in the Book of Hebrews: …Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those […]
One More Miracle…So Many More Souls! 11/19/2018
In the 7 years that we have been associated with House of Blessing, we have heard and shared many stories of miracles, seldom seen in the West, that have changed people by the grace of the One True God and Savior, Jesus Christ. While the greatest miracle is always a person’s changed heart in repentance leading to salvation, it is […]
ALL EYES ON ISRAEL Part Seven
As we continue our examination of Jeremiah 49:34-39, we focus initially on how God will “break the bow of Elam, the foremost of their might…” Before I continue, I do want to give credit to author Bill Salus whose research work I’ve turned to for a number of years. Although my views differ in just a few areas, his research […]
ALL EYES ON ISRAEL Part Six
As we are now in the early days of November 2018, the eyes of the world are turned in the direction of Iran to see how the Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, will respond to the crippling economic sanctions that have once again been imposed on the Iranian nation by the United States. The American Secretary of Defense, Mike Pompeo […]
MIDEAST UPDATE 11/5/2018 “Harvest Time!”
One of the wondrous things that happens when a person becomes a true follower of Yeshua / Jesus, is a heart change within. The Apostle Paul described it this way in 2 Corinthians: Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. Now all things are of […]
ALL EYES ON ISRAEL Part Five
In the latter portion of Part Four we went into detail, mainly provided by the prophet Isaiah, about what the Bible foretells of the destruction of Damascus just prior to the Day of the Lord. The prophet Jeremiah also prophesied the doom of Damascus and the details God provided Jeremiah help to broaden the picture. As we see both prophecies […]
MIDEAST UPDATE 10/23/2018 “ALMOST THERE!!”
I titled the previous Mideast Update, “Racing to the Finish Line,” and it truly is a race. Our world is in trouble but we serve Someone who is greater than the world or its problems. It is He that put us on this earth and it is He who chose the slot in time for us to be here. He […]
ALL EYES ON ISRAEL Part Four
In the conclusion of part three of this series of articles, I mentioned that Israel knows that they are facing war on all sides. The news in the last few days serves to strongly confirm that fact. As Friday prayers were finished in mosques in Gaza last week, once again the Palestinians were urged to challenge the Israeli military by […]
ALL EYES ON ISRAEL Part Three
As much of the Western world has been inundated with ridiculous circus acts of western politics, many have questioned if the conflict in the Mideast has cooled. Not so. Storm clouds have continued to gather, and although there have been movements of troops and military weaponry shifted from one location to another, with nothing major having broken out yet, the […]
