A common statement I hear more and more today is how near we are to the return of Jesus Christ, the Messiah. It is not just hype thrown out to get people excited or spiritually jazzed, but rather as an encouragement to get our houses in order as well as finishing the race well. The imminent return of Jesus is […]
MIDEAST UPDATE, 9/29/2014
I have had several direct calls from the Middle East in the last week, each one more awe-inspiring than the one before it. I am afraid it is way too easy for those of us living in the West where life still has some semblance of normalcy, to see the rest of the world as something off of this planet. […]
CRUCIAL TIMES
Quite often in recent times I have experienced an urgency in my soul. This is one of those times so I must set aside everything else I have been working on and share some thoughts that are crowding my mind today, including what I believe is coming at us in our immediate future. As most of us know, we are […]
MIDEAST UPDATE, 8/28/2014
“The Fire of GOD” It seems, the more difficult or impossible the circumstances, the more God shows Himself strong on behalf of those that love Him and commit to His ways. The Bible speaks of great exploits that will be done by the followers of Christ. Some of the accounts of miracles I am receiving are stories I could not […]
MIDEAST UPDATE, 8/14/2014
“Greater Love Hath No Man” There are stories and then there are stories. Some are forgotten not long after they are read. Then there are the stories you find yourself going over again and again in your mind. So many times in the last two years I have tried to imagine myself in some of the stories that have been […]
MIDEAST UPDATE, 8/7/2014
THE WIDOW SISTERHOOD Earlier this year, R**** shared with us the story of a Syrian woman who witnessed the murder of her husband at the hands of her son, because he refused to deny his new-found faith in Jesus Christ. What happened when her son demanded that she deny Christ in front of close to 400 witnesses has been told […]
MIDEAST UPDATE, July 28, 2014
It is hard for me to believe that we are already well over half way through 2014. Time is moving faster all the time, it seems. I look back into the archives and reread some of the Mideast Updates from past months and it’s amazing to see what God has done in such a short period of time. A project […]
SPECIAL MIDDLE EAST UPDATE, 7/5/2014
Revelation 12:11 reads: They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death. As I write this update today, it is Independency day in The United States of America, July 4. The details of this update were gathered from a couple […]
MIDEAST UPDATE, 6/9/2014
Many Scriptures have come to mind since my last phone call from the Middle East. One is found in Isaiah 55:6-11, and this is how it reads in the NIV: “Seek the Lord while he may be found; call on him while he is near. Let the wicked forsake his way and the evil man his thoughts. Let him turn […]
MIDEAST UPDATE, 5/27/2014
For today’s Mideast Update, I start with a passage of Scripture found in the short book of Jude, and I would like to offer for your reading in the Amplified version today: “But you, beloved, build yourselves up (founded) on your most holy faith–make progress, rise like an edifice higher and higher–praying in the Holy Spirit; Guard and keep yourselves […]
