How to be An Advocate for Israel

 Israel's future is greatly impacted by how she is portrayed through the media. You and your friends can do Israel a great service by making sure that the news media reports fairly about Israel.

When a story seems unfair, decide how best to respond whether by letter, email, social media, or call.

When writing letters or emails to the Editor, Blog, or Webmaster:

• Do it promptly. Nothing is as irrelevant as "yesterday's news." If you wait too long, your letter or email won't get printed or posted.
• Keep it short. Focus on one issue (response to one article or post, or clarification of one point). 
• Have your facts in order before attempting to present them. 
• Point to specific problems within the article, post, or broadcast you believe to be unfair. 
• Maintain a respectful and considerate tone in your correspondence. 
• Include your full name, address, email, and phone number. 
• Remember to also write when compliments are due.

Sound The Alarm

JOEL Chapter 2: 1-21 (KJV)

1. Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand; 
2. A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations. 
3. A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame burneth: the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them.
4. The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so shall they run.
5. Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array. 
6. Before their face the people shall be much pained: all faces shall gather blackness. 
7. They shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the wall like men of war; and they shall march every one on his ways, and they shall not break their ranks: 
8. Neither shall one thrust another; they shall walk every one in his path: and when they fall upon the sword, they shall not be wounded. 
9. They shall run to and fro in the city; they shall run upon the wall, they shall climb up upon the houses; they shall enter in at the windows like a thief. 
10. The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall tremble: the sun and the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining: 
11. And the LORD shall utter his voice before his army: for his camp is very great: for he is strong that executeth his word: for the day of the LORD is great and very terrible; and who can abide it? 
12. Therefore also now, saith the LORD, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning: 
13. And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil.
14. Who knoweth if he will return and repent, and leave a blessing behind him; even a meat offering and a drink offering unto the LORD your God? 
15. Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly: 
16. Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts: let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet. 
17. Let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, O LORD, and give not thine heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their God? 
18. Then will the LORD be jealous for his land, and pity his people. 
19. Yea, the LORD will answer and say unto his people, Behold, I will send you corn, and wine, and oil, and ye shall be satisfied therewith: and I will no more make you a reproach among the heathen: 
20. But I will remove far off from you the northern army, and will drive him into a land barren and desolate, with his face toward the east sea, and his hinder part toward the utmost sea, and his stink shall come up, and his ill savour shall come up, because he hath done great things. 
21. Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice: for the LORD will do great things. 

 Things are changing and they are changing quickly. Watch this urgent message now.

A MIGHTY WAVE OF REVIVAL IS COMING over the land. God is pouring out His spirit right now upon the earth and people from every nation is coming to faith in Jesus Christ. Can you feel it? Young and old are having visions and dreams. Have you sense this URGENCY? God can place it upon your heart as His anointed WATCHMAN just as He is calling others to be His voice in this season.

The letter to the Church at Laodicea is the harshest of the seven letters to the churches in Asia Minor. By His indictment against their “deeds,” Jesus makes it clear that this is a dead church. That is not to say that there were no true believers there, only that the church as a whole was spiritually uncommitted.

Jesus frequently equates deeds, or works, with a person’s true spiritual state. He said, “By their fruit you will recognize them” and “Every good tree bears good fruit” (Matthew 7:16-17). Clearly, the deeds of the Laodiceans were not in keeping with true salvation because the deeds of the true believer will be “hot,” reflecting the spiritual passion of a life transformed. Is your congregation lukewarm?

Watchman, Wake up! Stand up! Speak up! Confess up! 

"If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land" (2 Chronicles 7:14 KJV).

Heal us! Heal us! Heal us Lord! We need Your healing. Heal our lives. Heal our relationships. Heal our land. Hear us as we confess and repent of our sins; and have mercy, Lord.

Is America A Christian Nation?

Jesus told Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: "Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God..." (John 3:3-7).



However, to be born in God's kingdom requires the recognition and acceptance that Jesus is the only way to God! Here is what Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me" (John 14:6).

Let us be cognizant of this fact as we prayerfully contemplate the brutal and bloody consequences of religious intolerance in the form of ISIS, People are calling for Muslims to denounce these senseless killings and terrorism, but can they? Will they denounce their religion and the Koran that call for Muslims to kill the infidels? I don’t think so!

Some people are fearful that the same thing could happen in America as Liberals proudly supports plans to remove God from the public vocabulary, and demonstrates their disregard for the Constitution; in the process trashing our founding document by violating the First Amendment which opens the door for establishing Islam as the nation's religion.

This is precisely what the Constitution guards against: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

Interestingly, according to the Washington Weekly News, the "Federal Attorney warns that Negative Posts Against Islam Could Get You Prosecution and Imprisonment." Meanwhile, the debate continues about whether America is or was a Christian nation, there are many who wish to remove whatever remains of Christian reference in our public sphere and whitewash this country with the teachings and practices of Islam and establish Sharia Law.

Those who oppose Christianity in America make quick reference to John Adams’ statement, "The government of the United States is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion." America may not be a Christian nation, but it was established on Christian teachings and principles, evidence of this can be seen all over America on public buildings and city squares. A monument at the Texas State Capitol depicting the Ten Commandments revered in Judaism and Christianity reminds us of our rich Christian heritage.

This country is blessed because of its Judeo-Christian belief and practices, a fact that cannot be disputed, because when this nation is at a crossroad, its people turn to the only source it knows that can bring healing and comfort, God almighty. At a recent Harvest Prophecy Conference: Lt. General William G. Boykin highlights some concerns about the direction that America is going.


Here's what is at stake, “Our Christian liberties.” Christianity teaches and practices Holiness, love, and religious tolerance (Heb. 12:14).

However, there're those who want to enslave us by bringing us into bondage. The Bible is God's message to the world. It is full of good news. God's Word, the Bible, tells how God loves you, and tells His wonderful plan for your life. From the Bible you can learn how to receive God's blessing in every area of life. Jesus said God's Word would make you free. “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free” (John 8:31-32).

Men need the light of God’s word, “For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God” (John 3:17-21 NKJV). Pray for America!

Expediency in Relation to God's Command

Paul addressing the topic of immorality states, “All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any. Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body” (1Cor. 6:12-13).

Two important points are established out of these passages. First, something must be lawful in order for it to be expedient.  Sexual immorality cannot be expedient because it is not lawful to begin with (1 Corinthians 6:9-10).  Second, an expedient must also be beneficial, it must edify. If it causes offense (makes a person sin), it is sinful (1 Corinthians 10:31-32), repent therefore, and ask God for forgiveness.


On June 26, 2015, the US Supreme Court rules in favor of same-sex marriage nationwide. Speaking at the White House later in the morning, President Obama said "Americans should be very proud," because small acts of courage "slowly made an entire country realize that love is love." (Courtesy of CNN Politics)

However, on July 9, 2015, the Daily Headlines reported that a homosexual man Bradley LaShawn Fowler, an ex-con turned author filed a $70 million lawsuit against Bible publishers Zondervan and Thomas Nelson, alleging that their version of the Bible that refers to homosexuality as a sin violates his constitutional rights and has caused him emotional distress.

Here are some comments on the website:

Betty Miller Albright of Works at Glass Cottage remarked, “And so it begins again... because I don't like something that is written in the Bible, that does not go along with my lifestyle I want to destroy it. Then money always comes into the picture. There will always be those out there who want to destroy what is truth. If someone does not like something, does not agree with it, well then it must be wrong! There is no end to the madness that is going on.”

Jeanette Graff reasoned, "I as a gay man I am appalled that this guy is such a complete jackass... I am not ashamed of myself for being a gay Christian. But I am ashamed of those that are trying to make themselves out to be persecuted for every little thing… Gays need to realize we aren't special for being gay. It’s just life, deal with it, move on and quit whining about every little problem that comes your way thinking it’s all because you’re gay.

Randy Bobandy unabashedly states, and I quote, “Christ never said anything about homosexuals...” That may be true, but what does God, His Father, has to say about it? The answer can be found in the following passages of scripture, Leviticus 18:22; 20:13a.

Tom Magoon from Washougal, Washington made this observation “If this man is offended by the Word of God, sounds like possibly he is under conviction of the Holy Spirit!”

West Lenny, is convinced that “What the ultimate liberal agenda is, of which Obama is a chief player, is of satan and it is to squelch the gospel of Jesus Christ and His word.”

George Pincince recognizes that the church is in a spiritual battle for truth, citing this scripture that states “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers… against spiritual wickedness in high places” (Eph. 6:12.)

Finally, Clayton Jackson of Grand Canyon University summed it up nicely, by saying “Yes, we are all born sinners, but when we ask Jesus to come into our hearts and forgive us of our sins. We don't continue in those sins. He will help you be the new person that you were meant to be.

Believing that Jesus is the Son of God and that He loves you; He would have died for you if you were the only one on earth, and because Jesus loves family He wants you to be a part of his family.

Believing that He was born of a virgin and crucified on that cross for you and for me and that God the father raised Him back to life again; He's coming back again. If I'm wrong, I have nothing to lose but if you're wrong, you have everything to lose.

Why gamble with your life. Jesus is the way and the only way, but we all have a choice to make. What will yours be?"

Shadows of Apostasy

As the shadows of apostasy increasingly overtook the early church, its leaders earnestly sought to meet the challenges; thus, Jude (and John) warned the church of “ungodly” and false men who had “crept in unawares” (Jude 1:1,15) with perverse doctrines and conducts that were polluting the church and leading the unsuspecting astray. Jude forthrightly identified these errors and counseled the church leaders how they might resist them.

Similarly, in recent times the church has experienced a wave of monumental unprecedented shift away from mainstream doctrinal belief, by some of its Frontline Ministers, to embrace a doctrine of deception that brushes aside and ignores some of the fundamental tenets of our faith. 

As a result, we have to be vigilant to identify and avoid these wolves in sheep's clothing whose mission is to lead the unsuspecting saint astray with their strange doctrine. It is remarkable that Satan’s tools and Man’s nature have not changed; which is to “Steal, kill, and destroy;” But Jesus came that we might have life more abundantly (John 10:10).

Indeed, there are wolves in the church today, and by this I mean clergy and laity speaking perverse things, diverting from the truth of God’s word, and being obstinate in the wrong, willfully in order to draw the weak and unwary members of the church after them. This is evident in our country, causing many to question the relevance of the church in a postmodern era.

Every Christian should ask himself this question, "Is apostasy occurring in my church?" The answer to this question can only be realized when we first look in our own house, for the Bible tells us that judgment will begin in the house of the Lord (1 Peter 4:17).

Therefore, we would not know it unless we first closely examine the Bible, our standard of truth, and then compare the present day Church to the Word of God; that is the measuring rod by which apostasy can be detected.
 
However, the arrival of the Antichrist cannot occur until sufficient apostasy has taken place, and we have already begun to see an increase in disaffection among church goers almost on a daily basis worldwide.



Apostasy means to fall away from the truth.  Hence, an apostate is someone who has once believed and then rejected the truth of God’s word.  As a consequence, apostasy is a rebellion against God because it is a rebellion against truth. 

In the Old Testament God warned the Jewish people about their idolatry and their lack of trust in Him.  In the New Testament the epistles warn us about not falling away from the truth.  Apostasy is a very real and dangerous threat. A denial of the following (to name a few) would suggest apostasy:

• Inerrancy of Scripture (2 Tim. 3:16)
• Virgin Birth of Jesus - relates to incarnation of Christ as God and man.
• Fidelity in marriage in heterosexual relationships (1 Cor. 6:9)
• The condemnation of homosexuality (Rom. 1:26-27)

Therefore, "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour" (1Pet. 5:8).

Significant Events for the Church to Watch

Jesus and the apostles exhort us to actively "watch"! The two Greek words ( gregoreuo and agrupneo ), both have similar meanings, which is to “stay awake” and to “be sleepless.” Though used metaphorical in a spiritual sense it means to be vigilant and always on guard, fully alert and intently focused.Jesus said "when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh" (Luke 21:28).

Therefore, allow me to highlight some events that are of significance to the church which are scheduled to take place this summer and early fall, particularly the month of September which has a lot of things planned for Israel. What is the significance of these events for the church today?

1. The return of The Bethlehem Star after 2000 years - June 30th, Scientifically confirms Biblical Events.
2. There is the Feast of Trumpets Sept. 13th & 14th
3. The 7 year Shemittah ending on Sept. 13th
4. Partial Solar eclipse on Sept. 13th
5. The Day of Atonement on Sept. 24th
6. The Year of Jubilee after 7 Shemittah on Sept 24th
7. The 4th Super Blood Moon on Sept. 28th
8. The Feast of Tabernacle Sept. 28th to Oct. 4th

Also, there are some other things happening in the USA this summer to pray about:

1. JADE HELM 15 (What is it?) – July 15th to Sept. 15th
2. Pope Francis makes unprecedented address to Congress & UNGA on Sept. 24th & 25th
3. Pope Francis reaches out to Protestants to reunite with the Catholic Church.
4. CERN opens the Abyss & removal of the "veil" International Year of Light Sept 25th.
5. The Georgia Guidestones Depopulation and Agenda 21 
6. Prophet Efrain Rodriguez Message to America 
7. The Continuing Harbingers of the USA

Also, on Tuesday, May 13, 2014, speaking in Washington before a meeting with Secretary of State John Kerry, the French Foreign Minister Lauren Fabius started the countdown to climate change disaster, when he said, and I quote "We have 500 days to avoid climate chaos.”

The French foreign minister continued to say, “And we have – as I said, we have 500 days to avoid climate chaos, and I know that President Obama and John Kerry himself are committed on this subject and I’m sure that with them, with a lot of other friends, we shall be able to reach success on this very important matter.” My question is, are we facing a pending Extinction Level Event (ELE) as warned by Prophet Efrain Rodriguez? Much prayer is needed here to discern the signs of the time we’re living in!

The apostle Paul instructed the church to study to show ourselves approved unto God. This is one instruction that the church is by far ignoring and as a result the people are perishing for lack of knowledge. However, born-again believers have nothing to fear, because the eternal God is our refuge and He promised to take care of His own; and, we know that "God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ" (1Thes. 5:9).

Pray for the harvest of souls! "Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, that ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition" (2Thes. 2:1-3).

A Call Unto Holiness

In this day of “exhilarating worship teams, influential preaching skills, popular name speakers, TV ministries, mega Church's ministries, rousing music, creative programs, great crusades, and exciting revivals,” there is one thing that gets slight attention and little emphasis in the church, but gets buried in all the “theatrics:”  HOLINESS! Holiness should be our ‘watchword’ in these last days. Hebrews 12:14 tells us to "Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord."



God wants us to be holy unto Him. Why? He wants us to be Holy because He is Holy, and has separated us from other people, so that we could be His (Lev. 20:26). John 3:16 gave us an undisputed demonstration of God’s love, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.”

Jesus came into the world, died to save sinners, rose from the grave and ascended into Heaven. He is coming back for His Bride and we must be ready; sanctified and cleansed with the “washing of water by the word, that He might present it to Himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing, but that it should be Holy and without blemish” (Eph5:26-27). Therefore, the church needs a revival to awaken it from a lukewarm state to be on fire for the Lord while witnessing and winning souls for the Kingdom of Christ.

Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering, for He is faithful that promised. May God bless and reward you for the great work you’re doing in His name. Continue to “Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou are also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses” (1Tim. 6:12).



Father in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, I come before You to make supplications for my family, my friends and country because the world seems to be out of control, but we know you are sovereign over everything. We pray that your will be done in the hearts of our leaders; that you will forgive our sins and heal our land. Give them wisdom to lead that we may prosper and live in peace; and by the same token, give us strength for the spiritual battles we face every day, knowing that you have won the ultimate victory and that we will one day live eternally with you, in Jesus' name Amen.

Now "Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning: Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping. And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch" (Mark 13:35-37).

Video Reveals the Truth about the NIV!

Warning! Warning!

I was doing some research on "What does the Quran has to say about lying" and in my search I found a document that quoted the New International Version (NIV) implying that Jesus is a liar. Here is the link http://www.answering-christianity.com/lying.htm

This passage gives the impression that Jesus is a liar! John 7: 6-10 (NIV)

“You go to the festival. I am not going up to this festival, because my time has not yet fully come.” …However, after his brothers had left for the festival, he went also, not publicly, but in secret” (John 7:8-10 NIV).

However, read how the King James version renders the same passage.

“Go ye up unto this feast: I go not up yet unto this feast: for my time is not yet full come. …But when his brethren were gone up, then went he also up unto the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret (John 7:8-10 KJV).

The N.I.V. omitted the word “YET” thus changing the statement completely and portrays Jesus as a liar. Is the word of God under attack? Is there a deliberate attempt to corrupt the message of salvation as presented by the Bible?

My emphasis here is to highlight the subtle way the various translations change the meaning of the scriptures as documented in this video. Let us be careful what we read because all translations were not published with the intent to inspire you. Watch this video now to learn more:


My question therefore is, is there a deliberate N.W.O. plan to deceive God's people and readers in general or is it just a poor translation of the scripture? You decide!

In the Beginning God Created the Solar System

"The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork" (Ps. 19:1). 

Did You Know... we are among approximately seven billion people who coexist on a tiny planet called Earth that resides in a small section of a rather significant solar system? Our earth, in actuality, is just one miniscule blue marble among millions of cosmic bodies that God created.

The question that is being asked almost on a daily basis is, did God create our Solar System as the Bible says? Or was it formed all by itself from a cloud of gas (Big Bang), as secular astronomers claim? Examine the evidence and decide which account of history do you believe.

Recent discoveries in space have supported the Biblical account that in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Each planet in our Solar System defies the evolutionary model in multiple ways, as many of the planets and moons appear to be young, not billions of years old. Additionally, these objects show evidence of intelligent design, and as the Bible states they declare the Glory of their creator, not some random processes that happened by chance.

"God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so" (Gen. 1:14-15).

Let us take you on a tour to discover our magnificent Solar System, and explore these wonders in the heavens. Along the journey, you will rendezvous with each of the planets and many of their moons, through more than 230 breathtaking photographs and graphics from NASA and other sources, courtesy of Idea Pump. There you will see how each planet uniquely testifies of its Creator.

Here's what you haven't being told about our Solar System! 


On this gargantuan painting our universe, our beautiful, majestic earth appears as a tiny speck of dust because. However, our great God, who “measures the waters in the hollow of His hand” (Isa. 40:12), has singled out each person on this planet as supremely important, for we are made in His image to do His good pleasure.

God's word, the Bible declares that “In him we live, and move, and have our being” (Acts 17:28a); "And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good" (Gen. 1:31).

America’s Prayer of Repentance

Our country is in need of prayer. Therefore, I’m inviting the nation to let us join our voices and pray for our country. We are cognizant of the fact that Righteousness exalts a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people” (Prov. 14:34).

Let us therefore, inquire of the Lord God to make request by prayer and supplications, with fasting, sackcloth, and ashes. Let us pray to the Lord our God, and make confession, because “if we confess our sins, He is Faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”

“O Lord our God, in the name of Jesus, we approach your throne, giving honor to You, the great and awesome God, who sits high and looks low, who keeps covenant and extend mercy to those who love You, and keep Your commandments, we have sinned and committed iniquity, we have done wickedly and rebelled, even by departing from Your precepts and Your judgments.

Neither have we heeded Your servants the prophets, who spoke in Your name to our leaders, to our fathers and all the people of the land. O Lord, righteousness belongs to You, but to us confusion of face, as it is this day in our land, because of the unfaithfulness and abominations which we have committed against You.

O Lord, our God, we have sinned and done foolishly by departing from Your words so as not to obey Your voice; Even as we struggle to retain God in our knowledge and society, do not give us over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient. (Rom.1:28) Therefore, Lord, hold back Your wrath from being poured out on us, because we have sinned against You.

Yes, Lord, we have sinned against You, but to You our God belong mercy and forgiveness, though we have rebelled against You and have not obeyed Your voice to walk in Your precepts, which You set before us in Your most Holy words, hear our prayer.

Our nation has gone back from the principles on which it was founded “one nation under God.” It was the intention of our founding fathers that this nation would reverence You, God almighty as our supreme head that in 1954 the words “under God” was added to our pledge of allegiance to emphasize and embrace Your Lordship over our nation; and though we place these words “One Nation under GOD!” on bumper stickers, on our vehicles, our hearts are far from You.

 All year round we have experienced one disaster after another come upon us, fire, flooding, violence, storms, drought; man-made disasters, financial collapse, Economic down-turn in major cities, and health problems; yet we have not made our prayer before You our Lord and our God, that we might turn from our iniquities and abide by Your truth.

Yet, You are pleading with us, “if My people who are called by My name, will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land” (2Chron. 7:14).

Lord, hold back Your anger from us and hear our prayers that we make unto You this day; for You our God is righteous in all Your works which You do, though we have not obeyed Your voice. But You, Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness. We have sinned, we have done wickedly! We Repent, Lord and turn from our wicked ways, so that our sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come upon us from You.

O Lord, according to Your righteousness, we pray, let Your anger and Your fury be turned away from this nation, because for our sins and for the iniquities of our people and leaders, and let us humble ourselves and return to You. Dear Lord, You said in 1 John 1:9, that If we confess our sins, You are faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Lord, let Your ministers be clothed with righteousness; and let Your saints shout for joy. Send rain from the heavens above, and let the skies pour down and water the earth: let the earth open, and be fruitful once again; let them bring forth salvation, and righteousness prevail. Let us prosper once again, let there be an economic turn around for this nation, and strengthen our hand of generosity to aid the less fortunate and nations to recover from natural disasters.

Therefore, our God, we beseech you, hear the prayer of Your people, and the supplications of our heart and for Your sake cause Your face to shine on us once again. O my God, incline Your ear and hear; open Your eyes and see our miseries; for we do not present our supplications before You because of our righteous deeds, but because of Your great mercies. O Lord, hear! O Lord, we repent of the wrong doing of our beloved nation, therefore forgive! O Lord, listen and act! Do not delay for Your own sake, my God, for Your people are called by Your name.

Now, Lord, we will be careful to perform what You require of us, to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with You (Micah 6:8). This is our prayer, in Jesus name, Amen!

The Body is Sick

Urgent! Urgent! Urgent!

The family has been dealing with this tumor for a while, prayers have been requested, but the tumor continues to spread. We who are concerned about the health of the family have been telling others because it was spreading from one member to another.

However, many still did not take this cancer seriously, because they are in denial. They say it is no big deal because it could not be terminal.

Now the chief physician has ruled that the tumor is malignant, and we know that when something is that far gone, then it’s only a matter of time before death sets in. 

So, what is the solution? We all can pray to God Almighty for a miracle, He answers prayer. We need Christians who are living holy and not playing church to fast and pray for an eradication of this cancer, the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. Let us pray!
