With the recent war between Iran and Israel done for now, the question arises: What next? What do we do with God’s Great Gift of Peace?

The answer is very simple, we use the time to grow ever closer to our Father; and to Follow Jesus even more closely. We spend our time in prayer and in the pages of God’s Word. And we Pray to the Holy Spirit and ask Him to help us use the Gifts He has given us wisely and generously.

We remember, just how much God loves each one of us and we ask Jesus every day to be our Saviour.

And we repent of our sins every single day.

And we Pray! All day, every waking hour! For more trouble will come…

In other words, we get ready!

¹⁴ “Therefore, son of man, prophesy, and say to Gog, Thus says the Lord God: On that day when my people Israel are dwelling securely, will you not know it? ¹⁵ You will come from your place out of the uttermost parts of the north, you and many peoples with you, all of them riding on horses, a great host, a mighty army. ¹⁶ You will come up against my people Israel, like a cloud covering the land. In the latter days I will bring you against my land, that the nations may know me, when through you, O Gog, I vindicate my holiness before their eyes.” – Ezekiel 38:14

We all know that we are living in the “latter days”. But what we don’t know is how long they may be.

My personal belief is that we are living in a time where the stage is “being set”. I agree with the comments made by Joel Rosenberg. We know that at some point Turkey, Russia and Iran will make alliances. Just as we know that there will be a final war against Israel, where Israel will have no earthly allies, but God will truly intervene in favor of Israel and save His Chosen People! But we don’t know when that will happen.

However, it may be that the stage is also being set in Israel. Israel must be at peace for a while prior to the Final War. And while that never seemed possible before, perhaps now it will be.

Granted that peace may be temporary. But I see that Peace, temporary though it might be, as an opportunity. A time given to allow us to Follow Jesus even more closely. To pray more unselfishly. And to truly repent!

For when that World War comes, and it will, we will need to be ready!

Follow Jesus and Be the Light!

And then pray for them, all of them.

And then pray for their families and all those who love them!

And don’t forget to thank them 🙂

“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” – Isaiah 41:10

God’s got this and God’s got us!

It’s only natural for us to worry, even fear, the future right now. But God will be with us, so do not fear. Because there is no power on this earth that can defeat our Lord and we all know that. Just as we know that our permanent home is in Heaven; where we will be safe for all eternity!

But while we are still on earth, if we ask God to give us the courage to “Face our fears “, God will! Because courage does not mean the abscence of fear, it means the facing of it! And with God’s help, we can do that 🙂

Just stay close to Jesus and all will be well 🙂

^” For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul?” – Matthew 16:26

What does it profit us if we save our own lives, but lose our souls in the process? The Jewish people are God’s Chosen People. And we know for a fact that many of them live in Israel.

Millions of God’s Chosen People are currently in bomb shelters! The entire Old Testament, more than half of the Bible, is devoted to God’s Great Love Of His Chosen People, the Jewish People. So what does God call on us to do?

What will God do to America if America betrays Israel?

And what will happen to each person’s Salvation if they call for America to betray Israel?

“And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.” – Genesis 12:3

In the very first book of God’s Word (Genesis), the Holy Bible, God says that He will “Bless those who Bless Israel…” It isn’t something we get to say Yes or No too!

Sometimes there comes a time, that even though we are afraid and even though we may be hurt or even killed, we have to do the right thing. The Jewish people are God’s Chosen People. And whether we like it or not, we have to do right by them. They are God’s Chosen People and we have to defend them!

This is our time. The time when we get to remember that we DO “believe the old stories”! That we get to remember that the way to COURAGE is to remember that God will be with us not when we “cower”, but when we “face our fears”!

King David taught us about courage, now we need to look up at our Father-God, Our Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit, and remember that through God, we have more courage than we think!

The Holy Spirit loves us and not only is He our Comforter and Friend; He has given us the Gifts and Fruit of His Spirit.

But the Holy Spirit did not give us these Gifts and Fruits to hoard; He gave us them to share 🙂

Much, much harder times are coming and we need to prepare for them! If we don’t spend time preparing in prayer now, when the time comes we won’t be able to Stand In Faith.

One of the dangers of the last election is that too many Christians are thinking everything is done. But that is not true!

Prayer is what brings us closer to God. We need to Pray when we feel like it and especially when we don’t. We need to Pray when we are happy and when we are sad. We need especially to Pray when God seems very far away or when we feel afraid. There may even be times when we wonder if God is really there-we need to keep praying.

The only way that we will survive the coming challenges with our faith intact is by immersing ourself in prayer, by reading God’s Word and by always looking “up” 🙂

And the only way we will go to Heaven, is by putting our faith in Jesus!

So please, Follow Jesus, for God is “our safe space”.

The way David loved God was special. As a young man, his love was so pure, so strong, and so all consuming, as was his faith.

David didn’t just believe that all of the Bible stories happened; David knew that they did! And there is a difference between knowing and believing…

And David loved God with a love so complete that that all we can do is to try to follow his example and love God that completely too!

Because David’s heart was so completely centered on God and God’s Will for his life. He sought to serve God with all that he was and all that he could be.

Can we say the same?

Should we at least seek to be able to be the same?
