A mystery we deal with as Christians is the apparent silence of heaven that we often experience. It is encouraging that the Scriptures do reference such silence. How often have we prayed, “How long O Lord?”, often about the same thing for months or even years, seemingly without answer. It can be an illness that we can’t seem to get […]
MIDEAST UPDATE….1/5/2026….”Angels On Assignment”
Today’s update includes another very unusual story. But before sharing it, I would like to highlight scriptures that are applicable to today’s news: 7 The angel of the Lord encamps all around those who fear Him, and delivers them. 8 Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man who trusts in Him! Psalm 34:7-8 3 Surely […]
MIDEAST UPDATE….12/31/2025….”The God of Jacob is our Refuge”
Today’s Mideast Update includes three separate messages which I received from our brother Abdelrahem. Please take the time to read the entire report. It is quite comprehensive and includes details we, as fellow servants of the Lord, need to be aware of as supporters of the House of Blessing. They very much need our prayer support and any financial support […]
MIDEAST UPDATE….12/20/2025….”Racing To The Finish Line”
Most of us have wondered what it is going to be like during the millennial kingdom of Christ. Almost since the very beginning, our earth has been contested territory. God’s promises are nearly always contested by deception, delays, or distractions. God’s people are relentlessly tempted and tested. At the very time that two prophesied deliverers (Moses and Jesus) came to […]
MIDEAST UPDATE….11/3/2025….”The Gates of Hell Cannot Prevail Against God’s People!”
For many in the body of Christ today, it has become almost the norm to take on a defeatist attitude. We do live in a fallen world and many are convinced that we are fighting a losing battle against evil and the source of evil — the evil one himself. We do know that we are at the end of […]
MIDEAST UPDATE….9/20/2025….”Out of the Blue”
There are many passages of Scripture that would apply to the stories shared with you in today’s Mideast Update. One of them is found in John 21. 4 But when the morning had now come, Jesus stood on the shore; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus. 5 Then Jesus said to them, “Children, have you any […]
What If?? 9/15/2025
God’s blueprint for mankind foretells seasons and times that we are meant to pay attention to. God never intended for us to be ignorant of the times, including the timing of the end of the Age of Grace. Hence the title: “WHAT IF?” What if we are being given a warning shout right now that the Harpazo / Catching Up […]
MIDEAST UPDATE….9/12/2025….”Nothing Can Hinder God!”
In a devotional that I read this morning, I found these words by A.W. Tozer: “The essence of spiritual worship is to love supremely, to trust confidently, to pray without ceasing and to seek to be Christ-like and holy and to do all the good we can for Christ’s sake. How impossible for anyone to hinder that kind of ‘practice.’ […]
MIDEAST UPDATE….9/5/2025….”Our God Never Ceases To Amaze!”
As I was reading a daily devotional, the author described what it must have been like for the disciples when they realized that Jesus would be leaving them soon. I have included a short portion of the devotional below. “Little did the disciples know that soon their lives would be turned upside down. Never could they have envisioned the horror […]
MIDEAST UPDATE….8/30/2025….”The Gift of Himself”
How is it that hundreds of Muslims are reported to turn to Christ after just one miracle or one exhortation from newly saved former Muslim clerics? We hear of a spontaneous sermon based on deep belief in the power of the Spirit. We hear of an outpouring of the Holy Spirit to all those who accept the message. We are […]
