ISRAEL TODAY: Anti-Israel Terror Up Significantly in 2013

Anti-Israel Terror Up Significantly in 2013

Tuesday, January 28, 2014 |  Israel Today Staff  
The number of terrorist attacks targeting Jews in Judea and Samaria increased significantly in 2013 over the previous year. That according to a report published this week by Israel's domestic security agency, the Shin Bet.
Overall, 1,271 terrorist attacks were reported in 2013, up from just 578 in 2012. However, fatalities were down: six Israelis were killed in terror attacks in 2013, compared to 10 the previous year.
Forty-four people were injured in terror incidents in 2013, three-fourths of them from stoning attacks, the kind of activity many in the international community refer to as "peaceful resistance."
Three of those killed over the last year were the victims of knife attacks, two were shot by Palestinian snipers, and one was executed after being abducted by Arab terrorists.
In addition to the far larger number of overall attacks, the Shin Bet noted a worrying increase in the number of "serious incidents," those involving the use of firearms, incendiary bombs and mortar shells.
One bright point in the report was the massive decrease in the number of rocket attacks from Gaza. In 2012, Gaza-based terrorists attacked southern Israel no fewer than 1,085 times. Israel responded with "Operation Pillar of Cloud," and, as a result, 2013 saw just 55 rocket attacks.

Mario Maxwell: God Is Sending Supernatural Help (The Elijah List)

Mario Maxwell:
God Is Sending Supernatural Help

Mario MaxwellFor many people, 2013 was one of the most difficult and challenging years that they've ever experienced. In 2013 there were all sorts of tests, trials, and tragedies that left many of us wondering if we would be able to make it another day. 

All sorts of adversity came to our doorways to convince us that we would not come out of what we were facing; yet through it all, somehow, some way, we endured! With tears in our eyes, with pain in our hearts, through sickness, through depression, through poverty, through calamity we kept pressing and kept pressing until this very day!

Through the strength of God, we rose up to meet our challenges and we prevailed! Like Paul, we were hard pressed on every side, yet we were not crushed! We were perplexed, but not in despair! Many of us were persecuted and even cast down, but never forsaken by our Father. We were not destroyed, because we believed to see the goodness God promised us in the land of the living! Our faith kept us standing! 

Our faith kept us pressing every day, and it is that faith that's about to bring us into some of the greatest breakthroughs that we have ever seen!

Stand in faithThough faith in God has been the force that's emboldened and empowered us to keep standing, it is also the very thing that the enemy hates and seeks to destroy. 

It is because our faith and our position with God is something he can never get back, so he doesn't want anyone else to have it either! 

That's why you must keep worshipping, you must keep praising and serving God passionately! It torments the enemy because it reminds him of what he lost and can never get back again!

God Will Not Forsake You

In Daniel 6, a story unfolds about a powerful Believer named Daniel who was targeted and attacked just because of his faith. The Bible records that King Darius named 120 princes to rule over the land, and three presidents to rule over them, one of which was Daniel. Darius favored Daniel because he had an excellent spirit and was faithful over everything with which he was entrusted. 

Both God and King Darius knew that whatever they trusted Daniel with that he would keep it faithfully and wouldn't lose anything. Daniel's favor caused the other presidents, princes, captains, counselors, and other government officials to set a trap to kill Daniel, and they knew that the only flaw that Daniel had was that he served his God so passionately!

The presidents and princes that conspired this trap weren't ignorant about who Daniel was. Scholars believe that during this time, Daniel was between 80-90 years old. That's more than enough time for Daniel's reputation of how he prayed and got results to spread throughout the land. 

People knew about how, as a teenager, Daniel fasted and prayed and obtained favor from his captors. They knew about his friends who defied Nebuchadnezzar's orders and came out unsinged from the fiery furnace. They knew about the power of prayer that Daniel wielded to interpret mysteries and rule over nations.

Never forsakenEven though Daniel knew that if he continued to love his God and serve him through prayer it would be a sure death, he refused to stop! When Daniel learned about the decree that was set in motion, he went straight to his house, opened his windows, and let his actions declare that nothing would separate him from the God he served! 

When the other officials saw what Daniel was doing, they went to the king and made him have Daniel thrown into the lion's den.

Once Daniel was thrown into the lion's den, the king stayed up all that night and couldn't eat a thing because of his concern for Daniel. The king didn't realize the true purpose of the decree he set in motion, and on the outside, Daniel could have easily felt betrayed and hurt by the king that had favored him; but Daniel understood a very powerful principle: Even though the weapon may form against you, it's not always responsible for the assignment! 

Sometimes the very people you trust may turn on you or disappoint you, but you've always got to be prepared to forgive them! 

Forgiveness is what keeps you out of bondage and allows you to live in freedom while others are in spiritual and emotional chains.

The next morning, the king hurried to the lion's den and wondered if Daniel made it through the night. Daniel greeted the king and proclaimed "Oh king, live forever!" Daniel knew he had prevailed because God was with him, so he didn't come out of the dark place bitter and angry.

Daniel came out full of joy because he knew that he would ultimately see victory because God would not forsake him!

ALL Your Prayers Are Being Heard

Many people are discouraged because they feel like their prayers are not being answered; they feel like God has forsaken them! Prophecies have not come to pass like they thought, things that were promised have not yet manifested, and you feel alone in the battle you are having to fight! You say, "Maybe I didn't pray enough," or, "Maybe I did something wrong that's keeping God from hearing me!" 

God wants you to understand today that you didn't pray wrong and He's not refusing you! It's not your prayer that's being blocked, it's your answers!

Look at what Daniel 10:12-13 says:

"Then he continued, 'Do not be afraid, Daniel. Since the first day that you set your mind to gain understanding and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come in response to them. But the prince of the Persian kingdom resisted me twenty-one days. Then Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, because I was detained there with the king of Persia'" (Daniel 10:12-13, NIV).

ElijahList Prophetic Resources

The minute you started praying, God heard you! He had already answered, but your answer has been delayed because of the princes of resistance that are assigned to stop the manifestation of what God spoke! 

Because of the weight of what was about to be revealed, the enemy sent a prince to resist the answer God released!

The Hebrew word for prince means "ruler, chief, captain, principal, commander, leader, governor, and taskmaster." In other words, the enemy sent one of his most powerful agents, because only power can take out power! God's response was to send one of the chief princes, one of the strongest angelic beings, Michael the archangel, to release what the enemy tried to hold back!
Jesus, the Prince of Peace
There is another Prince that's about to step on the scene, and His name is Jesus Christ, the PRINCE OF PEACE!

The Prince of Peace is about to step into your situation! 

Supernatural help is coming in your time of trouble!
God is about to bring you out of the lion's den, out of the darkness of your calamity, and He's going to bring forth His PEACE in your trouble! 

As you moved out of 2013 and into 2014, I declare that the Prince of Peace, the Lord who made Heaven and Earth, will invade your situation and bring you perfect peace!
• I declare that the power of God is being released in your life to make your enemies be at peace with you!
 • I declare that voice of the Lord is being released into your life to speak peace to every storm that is raging against you!

• I declare that Jesus Christ is your peace! I declare every form of separation and division formed between you and your promise is being destroyed by the peace of God that surpasses all understanding!

• I declare that the God of peace will crush the enemy under your feet, and that you will walk into the grace of God that will release you into a new season, in Jesus' name!
I speak the blessing of the Lord upon your life and declare that supernatural help has come!

Yours in releasing the fullness of your God-given destiny,

“Your Assignment” - Ahava Love Letter (Steve Martin)

                 

          “Your Assignment” 


“and the young man did not put off doing what was asked of him, even though he was the most respected member of his father’s family, because he so much wanted Ya‘akov’ s daughter.” Genesis 34:19 
(CJB – Complete Jewish Bible)


Dear family of friends,

Lance Wallnau has a unique way of sharing truth in a way that makes sense. When he speaks, I listen. Others do too.

He reminds me of how Bob Mumford taught God’s Word in the 1970’s and onward, for those who know Bob and experienced his words coming at you. Both he and Lance have such practical ways of delivery that I have come to really appreciate. If you haven’t caught my recommendation already of these two, I do encourage you to!

In a message I heard at a KBA gathering (Kingdom Business Association) at the MorningStar/Heritage International Ministries location in 2013, Lance spoke on our assignments as individuals. As I listened again to his heart stirring message, on the CD driving into uptown Charlotte to my accounting job, a crisp fall Monday morning at 6:15 am, the Lord continued to give clarity to my new assignment. His ongoing encouragement caused me to share this Ahava Love Letter with you.

Do you know your assignment?

Each one of us has been given a purpose, a plan, a gifting which fits together with the Lord’s purposes and plans of those He connects us with. Your “talents” and skills acquired, which are unique in the fact that there is no one else exactly like you, are given to fulfill His perfect plan in the nations.

Do you know what they are? Have you asked Him lately?

Over a period of two decades (literally – no “evangelistically” speaking here) I have received many prophetic words about what the Lord has called me to do. For about 30 of those years I literally denied it, thinking “That is not me.” My job and training had put me in one sector of the business/ministry realm, which I was at least somewhat comfortable in. (In case you are wondering, I was the Director/Administrator of three international ministries for a period of 24 years total. Administration, finances and conferences were my thing.) The prophetic words which I actually despised hearing always told me, “You are a teacher.”

In my denial of not being that, for I wasn’t a real student of the Bible, hadn’t memorized Scripture chapters over my growing years, let alone a lot of single verses, my brain thoughts convinced me that the job I was doing was it for the rest of my life. Even if I was not satisfied and fully fulfilled in doing that.

When I finally “Got it” in the heart, the teaching aspect of my calling, my assignment, started to blossom. I didn’t have to be the “Derek Prince” or the “A.W.Tozer”, or even a “Charles Spurgeon” in my lifetime. I could be me, just as the Father of All created me to be. And so my teaching gift is mostly that of sharing life’s experiences, and encouraging you to do the same in your gifting.

Our assignment here on this planet is simple. Do what the Father has put in your heart to do. You don’t have to be the rocket scientist if you are the graphic artist. Be the graphic artist you have been born to do to your fullest! Give it all you got, and learn more in the giving! Many will be blessed in your fruitful contribution to the Body of Christ, along with the nations who long to see His Creative working in their own lives.

If you are not sure yet of your assignment, your calling, your purpose, don’t be discouraged. The Lord has so much love for you that as you seek Him, He will reveal it to you. Walk in that which you know to do already. Be obedient in hearing His voice - in your prayer time, as you do your daily job, as you sleep at night and He speaks to you in dreams. Be encouraged that He wants to show you far more than we even think or know. He is the Faithful One. His fullness of faith will become yours.

Believe me, denial in your walk may last a while, but if your heart is to follow after the Lord Jesus with all your heart, His plan and purposes will be revealed to you.

And all of us will be on the receiving end of you walking in your assignment! Thanks!

Ahava to my family of friends,

How we met

    Jonathan and I met in the spring of 2011. We took things slow, because we wanted to make sure it was the right thing to do with a child involved. I quickly fell in love with Payton (first!) ha :) And before we knew it, we could both see our futures together. Our love for The Lord really ties us together! He is and will be the core of our relationship.
 I know God saved us for one another for many reasons. We are both kind and compassionate about life in general! I am looking forward to the Journey we are about to take together. We thank you all for being there and supporting us too!!! 

Hannah

We are thanking the Lord for His choice of Jonathan Avalos as Hannah's husband. And we love his son Payton also!
