“ But he replied to the man who told him, “Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?”   And stretching out his hand toward his disciples, he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers!  For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.”-Jesus, Matthew 12:48-50

Imagine being stuck in the Judea and Samaria/West Bank, as a Christian? Israel does not trust you, because you may be Palestinian and attacks on Israel have come out of that region. Many Muslims in that region want you gone. The war, including the attacks, have struck both the Muslims and Christians. Daily life has become an unbearable burden. The future of your children is something you worry about constantly.

What will the future hold for your children? Will they even be safe? Do they even have a future in the West Bank/Judea and Samaria? After all, it is said that there are less than 50,000 Christians left in all of Palestine. And even if a person wanted to leave, where would they go? And leaving requires a lot of money, many don’t have it.

And since Bethlehem was the birthplace of Christ, many Christians don’t want to leave. So many Christian remain trapped between their desire to stay and the safety and future that leaving would probably provide their families.

The problems of Israel and the Christians that are in the Judea and Samaria/West Bank is not one that we are going to solve. Who did what to whom is also a question we can not solve.

But we can pray. We can pray for their protection and for their pain. We can ask Jesus to walk where we can not, with them each day. For no matter the situation, they are our brothers and sisters in Christ.

Please pray for them!

My heart goes out to all of those in Israel. They are God’s Chosen people and they always will be. And yet, they have suffered so greatly. More than we can really imagine.

The people living in Israel know the stories of suffering first hand. Many of their parents were in camps such as Auschwitz. They spent their childhood and their teen years listening first hand to stories of what Auschwitz was really like. Which was far more horrifying than anything that the media has published.

We can’t really imagine the horrors of living in Auschwitz. We can read about them, watch movies about them. But the truth is that since we have never actually experienced horrors like those that existed in Auschwitz, we can’t truly imagine what it was really like.

And the people telling them how horrific their lives were in the camps were their Moms and Dads, who they loved just as we love our parents. Can you imagine the horror of the children listening? Many of their parents have died now. Many earlier than they should have because their bodies were so physically damaged and their suffering and anguish was so great.

Now, after the world promised never again, their adult children once again face a world that, in large part, has turned against them! They face a horrific, violent enemy and once again they must defend themselves against a violence far worse than any American can truly imagine.

That God is protecting Israel, we know.

That God will continue to help Israel, we also know. For they are His Chosen People.

We also know from God’s Word,

“I will bless those who bless you,
And I will curse him who curses you”-Genesis 12:3

“The sparrow’s not worried ’bout tomorrow
Or the troubles to come
The lily’s not thinking ’bout the seasons
The drought or the flood
A tree that’s planted by the water
Isn’t fazed by the fire
So why should I be?

‘Cause You take good care of me
You take good care of me
You know what I need before I even ask a thing
And You hold me in Your hands
With a kindness that never ends
I’m carried in Your love no matter what the future brings
Yeah, You take good care of me

The sun’s not worried ’bout the winter
‘Cause soon it will pass
The light’s not thinking ’bout the darkness
Or the shadow it casts
A heart that’s planted in forgiveness
Doesn’t dwell in the past
So why should I be?

‘Cause You take good care of me
You take good care of me
You know what I need before I even ask a thing
And You hold me in Your hands
With a kindness that never ends
I’m carried in Your love no matter what the future brings
Yeah, You take good care of me

I know there must be more
But I can’t get past Your kindness
I know there’s got to be more
But I can’t get past Your goodness
I know there must be more
But I can’t get past Your kindness
I know there’s got to be more
But I can’t get past Your goodness

You take good care of me
You take good care of me
You know what I need before I even ask a thing
You hold me in Your hands
With a kindness that never ends
I’m carried in Your love no matter what the future brings
Oh, You take good care of me”-Sparrows by Cory Ashbury

There are many who write about the “Two Suns”. I have seen Two Suns over and over and heard God say “Remember the Two Suns” multiple times. The Two Suns are a warning and one of the most important things we can do to prepare for what is coming, is pray to see our souls as God sees them and repent!

“And there will be great earthquakes in various places, and famines and pestilences; and there will be fearful sights and great signs from heaven.”-Luke 21:11

^” Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.”-Matthew 24:30

“And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring; men’s hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.” – Luke 21: 25-26

Maryhas appeared so many times to call both for our faith and our repentance. She always wants to lead us to Jesus. “Mary comes to bring us closer to the heart of God and to reconcile us with Him.” To teach us to love God and to love each other. Really Love. And to Pray for the Conversion of Sinners. She does not want any child of God left behind. Mary wants every single person to accept Jesus and truly Follow Him Home to Heaven 🙂

For those who believe, arewe truly Following Jesus? Are we truly putting God first? Do we truly love God with our whole heart and soul and our neighbors as ourselves? Are we willing to truly Repent both for the good we chose not to do, as well as the bad we did? Have we truly examined our consiousness? And have we truly seen our souls as God sees them?

For those who don’t believe, the Two Suns are a call for each person to accept Jesus as their Savior. They are a call for repentance. And they are a call to truly Follow Jesus all the way Home. Don’t wait!

Please, pray every single day for the lost! For time is growing shorter and it will run out one day.

Jesus IS coming; we need to be ready!

The two suns are a warning. A warning we need to heed.

 “What do you think? There was a man who had two sons. He went to the first and said, ‘Son, go and work today in the vineyard.’

“‘I will not,’ he answered, but later he changed his mind and went.

“Then the father went to the other son and said the same thing. He answered, ‘I will, sir,’ but he did not go.

“Which of the two did what his father wanted?”

“The first,” they answered.

Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God ahead of you.   For John came to you to show you the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him, but the tax collectors and the prostitutes did. And even after you saw this, you did not repent and believe him.” – Matthew 21:28-32

Unfortunately, too often people do what they want. This is a warning. We do need to do what God says, before it is too late!

Some of Mary’s appearances have been approved, even promoted by the Catholic church. Some of them have not, but that does not mean they didn’t happen…

St. Michael the Archangel appeared to four girls in a very small village in Spain in June of 1961. He announced that the Blessed Virgin Mary would appear to them in July.

Mary appeared and her message was simple. She wanted us to remember that She is our Mother. We should bring our happy tidings and smallest concerns to Her. We should share with her as we do our earthly mothers, for She loves us as a Mother does.

But Mary also came to warn us to pray and repent. To receive communion often. She said if Her message was not acted upon there would be consequenes.

The Blessed Virgin appeared again. She said “Many Cardinals, Bishops and priests are following the road to perdition, and with them they are taking many more souls.”

Sadly, we have seen this happen! We have sadly seen the Catholic church mislead it’s people. For example, whoever thought we would live in a day when the Catholic church Blesses gay marriage?

Following Jesus means Following the Word of God! We do not get to change it!

“For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable. ” – Romans 11:29

“I will establish my covenant as an everlasting covenant between me and you and your descendants after you for the generations to come, to be your God and the God of your descendants after you.   The whole land of Canaan, where you now reside as a foreigner, I will give as an everlasting possession to you and your descendants after you; and I will be their God.” –

“On the same day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying: “To your descendants I have given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the River Euphrate” – Genesis 15:18

God has not changed His mind.

There is no “replacement theology” becausejust as the New Testament does not replace the Old Testament, God’s Word is everlasting!

The Jewish People are and will always be God’s Chosen People for He loves them in a very special way and that will never change!

“I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you;” – Genesis 12:3

That is something we need to remember always…

“Are not two sparrows sold for a copper coin? And not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father’s will. 30 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. 31 Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.”-Matthew 10:29-31

How many times have we heard, “Jesus loves us”. It has been said so many times, does it really mean a lot to us?

But the Truth is that Jesus really does love us! If only one of us existed, Jesus would have come and died on that Cross for us. He would have gone through everything just to rescue one of us! Jesus would not even want even one of us to suffer!

And it’s not just Heaven that Jesus wants for each of us. He created the bridge we needed to have a relationship with His Father. A Read Relationship. One in which we can bring every single thing to our Father, good and bad, all of us 🙂

And He’s here. Walking with us every step of the way through our lives. He really cares about every worry we have and every happiness. He’s reaching out to each of us, we just have to take His Hand-and hold on to it!

One really important part of keeping our faith strong, is keeping our hearts soft. One way to do that is to ask God to keep our hearts soft for us. Another way is to watch videos such as the one above.

Another way is to choose the movies and TV we watch wisely. Is what we choose helping to keep our hearts soft or hardening them? Does it have good values and good endings? Do we like the roles the people play in it and want to be like them?

Ever heard the saying, “garbage in, garbage out”? If we put “garbage” in our hearts, that’s what we will be. However, if we fill our hearts with God and the very best that people can be, than we will be that as well.
