How Christians Should Respond to Terrorism - J.D. KING CHARISMA MAGAZINE

Throughout the Bible, we see that the people of God lived under terrorism. Here's a reminder of how we should respond.

How Christians Should Respond to Terrorism





In this modern age of anxiety and unsettling images, fear seems to arrest the minds of many.
Based on what's being broadcast on television and social media, people are unsettled. Many envision atrocities that could afflict our families and unravel our quiet neighborhoods. Increasing unrest and suspicion grips the lives of multitudes.
I understand why. We live in an ever-plugged-in world of instant information and engagement. Every unfolding tragedy and crisis is presented to us in visceral video and sound bites. What once seemed far away, appears closer than ever.
I understand that being mindful of the world around us is essential. More importantly, as believers, we are called to carry the burdens of others and intercede for peace on the earth. No one who loves Jesus is given the freedom to disengage and ignore evil.
Yet, with all of that said, there's a line that cannot be crossed. Believers don't have the privilege of embracing fear. Whenever we're anxious, our incredible identity and calling is undermined. Christians simply cannot be world-changers if we're paralyzed by the fear of violence.
It may seem unnatural, but there should be an overwhelming freedom and joy - not trepidation. We shouldn't be anxious about anything. The trajectory of our lives should be shaped by the presence of God, not geo-politics. Those who love Jesus shouldn't fear man or be hesitant about where they stand - even as they take their final breath.
Even if a horrific event were to transpire, solace should be found in walking in the perfect love of Jesus.
The apostle John had the following to say about all this, "Perfect love casts out all fear. If we are afraid, it is for fear of punishment, and this shows that we have not fully experienced His perfect love" (1 John 4:18b).
Genuine citizens of the kingdom shouldn't be anxious about heaven or earth. Whether we live or whether we die, we're at peace. It's impossible to stop those who know the perfect love of God. Not even death can keep them from their destiny.

Israel: Can the Violence Be Stopped? MAAYAN JAFFE/JNS.ORG CHARISMA NEWS

Standing With Israel


Israel: Can the Violence Be Stopped?




From the outside, the intensely charged Arab-Israeli conflict can be baffling. He said, she said, they said, we said. But we often don't ask—we assume. And based on our media outlets of choice or the friends in our Facebook feed, we see only one side to the violent and deadly conflict that has been roiling Israel for the past month.
These are the facts on the ground: From Oct. 1-25, 11 innocent Israeli Jews were killed and 126 were wounded (13 seriously), according to Magen David Adom, Israel's national emergency response organization. This includes 54 stabbings, five shootings, and five car-rammings in what has become known as the Palestinian "stabbing intifada." Continuously compiled unofficial statistics paint an even grimmer picture.
"The recent series of attacks against Israelis is the direct result of incitement by radical Islamist and terrorist elements, calling on Palestinian youth to murder Jews," writes the Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs. 
What's next?
JNS.org reached out to three Israeli scholars—a self-proclaimed "left-wing" Jewish academic, self-proclaimed "right-wing" Jewish academic, and self-proclaimed "centrist" Israeli-Arab academic—and asked each of them the same questions. Their responses indicate that sometimes, those three camps have more in common than one might think.
The scholars:
Dr. As'ad Ghanem (centrist Israeli Arab), Department of Government and Political Philosophy, School of Political Science, University of Haifa
Eli Pollak (right-wing Israeli Jew) Department of Chemical Physics, The Weizmann Institute of Science, vice chairman of Israel's Media Watch 
Prof. Sammy Smooha (left-wing Israeli Jews), Sociology Department, University of Haifa
JNS.org: Why is genuine dialogue and finding a resolution to this conflict so elusive?
Ghanem: We are farther from finding a solution to this conflict than we were in 1993 ... because of some major developments in the conflict over the past 20 years: 
1. The collapse of the Palestinian National Movement—there is no Palestinian National Movement. Abu Mazen (Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas) is doing his best, but he is not the right person to solve this conflict on the Palestinian side ... There is no genuine representation on the Palestinian side.
2. Since [former prime minister Ariel] Sharon came into power, there has been a historical move to the right in Israel—not just the right, the extreme right. Not just to the political right, but demographic shifts in Israel that cannot be solved through politics. 
I am pessimist. Right now there is a very protracted/complicated situation that makes the possibility of going back to the peace process very difficult. There is a hope that international powers will use some of their power to push the sides. But, I don't think the world is ready to invest in us right now. 
Pollak: There is no interest on the Palestinian/Arab side to generate dialogue, so there is no dialogue.
Smooha: Both sides are not prepared to make the necessary concessions, despite the fact that they agree on an overall solution. They disagree on the details and the details are important. The core issues of dispute:
Borders: The Palestinians demand pre-67 borders with land swaps, the Israeli government does not accept this.
Settlements: The Palestinian Authority demands the dismantling of Jewish settlements; Israelis disagree.
Refugees: Can they return to the pre-67 borders? Israel rejects this demand altogether.
Jerusalem: The Israelis want a united Jerusalem. The Palestinians want a divided Jerusalem.
The nature of a Palestinian state: The Palestinians want a sovereign state with few restrictions. Israel demands that it have its army positioned on the Jordan River, that it have the right to search for terrorists, etc. Israel wants closed borders.
JNS: Is the two-state solution still viable?
Ghanem: Many thought that U.S. President Barack Obama would choose to use his political power to push for peace, now we know this was not real and the hope for two states is a lot less promising. We have two options: One is to continue this conflict, and it seems right now that we are going to face this situation for many years coming. The other option is one democratic state for both peoples. If we could set up a state where we have an equal share political entity with equal citizenship for both peoples—for members of both communities—and we preserve the right for both sides to self-determination, why not?
Pollak: It will never be because there is no interest from the other side to make real peace. It is clear this is a religious war and...ultimately the other side's goal is to have a single state on the land of Israel, without Jews. Speeches by Arab political leaders document this.
Smooha: It is not viable now because the right wing is in power and now Bibi (Benjamin) Netanyahu is not interested in any solution....Jews in this country are post-traumatic, they are frightened and Netanyahu is using their post-trauma to reinforce an iron wall mentality and get support.
JNS: How do you balance religion and democracy? Can we maintain a Jewish state?
Ghanem: I know many politicians believe there should be separation of religion and state. I don't agree with this. It is okay to have some kind of religious elements in politics, including in more secular states such as the U.S. or France. There is a connection between religion and state and it is not anti-Democratic. The question is what is superior to the other. Politics needs to be superior to religion, this is democracy. The will of the people should rule, not the rule of God.
Pollak: Judaism is a set of values. Democracy is a system by which a nation rules itself. They are very different and they go parallel to each other. What does it mean that we are a Jewish state? That the day of rest is Saturday and not Sunday. Is that against democracy?
Smooha: We need to privatize religion and strengthen Israeli citizenship to be the basis of our commonality. To find balance, we must find a way to respect democracy and religion.
JNS: Do you (Pollak and Smooha) trust Israeli Arabs? Do you (Ghanem) trust Israeli Jews?
Ghanem: I trust many Jews—the people, I trust them. Many Israeli leaders, them I don't trust. I don't trust Abu Mazen either.
Pollak: In principle, yes. You have more than 1.5 million Israeli Arabs and obviously some of them are anti-Israel and want to throw us into the sea. I believe most of them don't want that. Most of them are actually happy to live within the Jewish state because they know the situation here is better than in any Arab state.
Smooha: I do try to trust Israeli Arabs. There is always some suspicion because of the situation. One cannot be 100-percent trustworthy of every Arab, but without some trust, we will never resolve the conflict.
JNS: Is there equality in Israel?
Ghanem: There is no equality, except the right to vote. 
Pollak: In practice, no. One of the big errors that we, the Jewish majority, have made is that although the non-Jewish minorities have equal rights, we have not treated them equally, the way they should be treated. So many times, I have walked around Arab towns and seen the sewage in the streets, the lack of police presence, how poor they are. Israel has made mistakes and it is still not doing enough to correct those errors.
Smooha: There is no equality between man and woman, rich and poor, or Arab and Jew.
JNS: Can we stop the violence?
Ghanem: I don't have a recipe. Only if the leaders will be ready to make real steps toward peace will we be able to reduce the terror and violence.
Pollak: We have to ask ourselves what is the root of the violence and treat the root....The root of the problem is the religious war of Islam against any other religion in the world.
Smooha: We have to give the people hope. Otherwise, the situation will start cooling down, but it will start again in a couple of months or years.

Ron Cantor - VIDEO: The Roots of the Present Temple Mount Violence (Messiah's Mandate, Tel Aviv)

Why are Palestinians stabbing Israelis in the Streets?
View this email in your browser
The Roots of the Present Violence on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem

For the past several weeks there have been dozens of terror attacks by knife-wielding Palestinians. Why now? What triggered this present wave of terror? In this short video we expose the radical Islamic roots of what we are witnessing now in Israel. This has NOTHING to do with Israel limiting the rights of Muslims, and everything to do with Islamic depravity.
 
TESTIMONY: I had never been to Israel before and I wasn’t sure what to expect. Looking back, I can say that the tour Ron and Elana put together was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. Standing on the Mount of Olives, watching Ron teach on the end times, while gazing at the very place where Jesus will return, brought the Bible to life. And the fact that we were able to meet Israeli believers and worship with them differentiated this tour from most others. Gazing over my balcony over the Sea of Galilee, imagining Jesus walking on the water, feeding the 5,000 and calming the storms was a memory that will never leave me.
I highly recommend Ron and Elana’s Living Stones tour.

"Be Ye Very Courageous" ✡ Bring an IDF Soldier to Your Campus or Community!

Therefore be ye very courageous to keep and to do all that is written in the book of the law of Moses, that ye turn not aside therefrom to the right hand or to the left.

JOSHUA (23:6)
 

וַחֲזַקְתֶּם מְאֹד--לִשְׁמֹר וְלַעֲשׂוֹת אֵת כָּל-הַכָּתוּב בְּסֵפֶר תּוֹרַת מֹשֶׁה  לְבִלְתִּי סוּר-מִמֶּנּוּ יָמִין וּשְׂמֹאול

יהושע כג:ו


va-kha-zak-tem m'-od lish-mor v'-la-a-sot ayt kol ha-ka-tuv b'-say-fer to-rat mo-sheh l'-vil-tee sur mi-me-nu ya-meen u-s'-mol

Jerusalem Inspiration

Throughout the book of Joshua, the Children of Israel are told “to be strong” and “to be courageous.” It is significant that this command applies to both spiritual tasks, such as observing the entire Torah of Moses, and to physical tasks, such as fighting battles in the Land of Israel. A complete national life requires both spiritual and physical strength. In today’s Israeli army, there are many soldiers who exemplify this through their devotion to both Torah study and to military service. These students and graduates of Zionist seminaries are both courageous soldiers and Torah scholars, and serve as role models for all. Today, these righteous soldiers are standing between the people of Israel and violent terrorists who want to eradicate the Jewish State. American Friends of LIBI gives IDF soldiers the support, assistance, and tools they need to defend their nation. Help strengthen Israel's first line of defense against terror - the IDF!

Hamas Orders Resumption of Suicide Bombings - BREAKING ISRAEL NEWS

(Photo: STR/Flash90)

(Photo: STR/Flash90)

Hamas Orders Resumption 
of Suicide Bombings


“But the Lord laughs at the wicked, for he sees that his day is coming.” (Psalm 37:13)
The Hamas terror organization has ordered its followers to resume suicide bombings against Israelis following a wave of violence and terror across the country.
Quoting unnamed Israeli sources, Ynet reported Monday that Hamas terrorists in Hebron and Nablus have been ordered to carry out suicide missions in crowded areas in Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria.
A Palestinian Authority security official also revealed that PA forces recently busted a Hamas ring in Hebron, finding in their possession large quantities of money and explosives. Six of the terror cell members admitted under interrogation their wish to die.
Support Israel's Lifesavers with Heart to Heart
Hamas has praised the terror attacks recently striking Israel, with group officials calling for an armed resistance against Israel. On Sunday, Mahmoud al-Zahar, a Hamas leader, said the current “popular Intifada” should turn into militarized conflict.
Last week, Ismail Haniyeh, Hamas leader in Gaza, urged the “strengthening and increasing of the intifada.” During a Friday sermon at a mosque in Gaza, Haniyeh declared that armed resistance was the “only path that will lead to liberation.”
Over the last two weeks, Hamas has called for two “days of rage” against Israel, urging Palestinians to carry out terror attacks against Israelis as well as riot against IDF soldiers.
The new call for suicide bombings comes after a Channel 10 report revealed Palestinian security officials believe Hamas terrorists are planning a large scale terror attack against Israelis in Judea and Samaria.

The Urgent Crisis of the Young American Male - J. LEE GRADY

Why are so many disturbed young men in the United States carrying out massacres?
      Why are so many disturbed young men in the United States carrying out massacres? (iStock photo )


Why are so many disturbed young men in the United States carrying out massacres? (iStock photo )
Just one day before a crazed young gunman killed nine people in Oregon last week, police arrested four males who planned to go on a bloody rampage at their high school in central California. Fortunately those four juveniles are now in custody—but it doesn't lessen the pain of the families who lost loved ones in the Umpqua Community College shooting in Oregon.
What is happening? Why are so many disturbed young men in the United States carrying out massacres? Consider these four recent cases:
1. Christopher Harper-Mercer, 26, killed nine people at Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, Oregon, Oct. 1, 2015, using five handguns and a rifle. He killed himself after the rampage. An unemployed loner, his parents were divorced and he lived with his mother. He suffered from mental disorders, and neighbors said he sometimes paced the floor of his apartment until 4 a.m. According to posts online, he was fascinated with guns and frustrated that he didn't have a girlfriend. When he broke into a classroom last week he asked some students if they were Christians before shooting them in the head.
2. Dylann Storm Roof, 21, is an avowed white supremacist who shot and killed nine people, including a pastor, in Charleston, South Carolina, on June 17, 2015. He used a .45-caliber Glock pistol. His mother left his father before he was born, and his father was later accused of abusing his second wife. A high school dropout, Dylann used drugs, showed signs of obsessive compulsive disorder and was convinced that African-Americans are taking over the world. In his online posts he talked of starting a civil war. He will stand trial in July 2016.
3. Elliot Rodger, 22, went on a bloody rampage on the University of California/Santa Barbara campus on May 23, 2014. First he stabbed three Chinese men (two of them his roommates), then he shot three students at a sorority house using three semi-automatic pistols. Then he killed himself. Coming from a divorced home, he was described by those who knew him as a loner who had been bullied in school. In a video he posted on YouTube just before his shooting spree, he said he wanted to punish women who had rejected him, and to punish sexually active males because they had a more enjoyable life.
4. Adam Lanza, 20, was responsible for storming into the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, on Dec. 14, 2012, and killing 20 first-graders and six adults. He murdered his mother first, then used her rifle to shoot his victims, and then killed himself. After the incident, investigators learned that Adam suffered from numerous mental problems. He loved horror movies and was fascinated by mass killings. Adam had had a strained relationship with his father since his parents separated in 2002.
A growing number of young men—even teens—are snapping. What is causing this?
The debate rages today about gun control—and certainly a case can be made that these men should never have had access to handguns or rifles. But this dilemma can't be solved simply by stricter background checks. (Elliot Rodger, for example, stabbed three of his victims with a knife, one of them 94 times. In other cases, they used guns owned by family members.)
In the cases I've described, each young man came from a broken home marked by abuse, rejection or neglect. Each was tormented by inner demons that caused him to be fascinated with conspiracies, weapons and violence. And after each massacre, people who knew these young men said they detected that they were deeply disturbed and needed intervention.
Other factors may have played a role, including drugs, video games, violent entertainment and broken relationships. But one clear factor is mental illness and an obvious lack of support for families that struggle with this problem. A lot of young men in this country today are battling anxiety, compulsive behaviors and serious psychological problems, and we can't sit back and wait for politicians to solve this.
We need spiritual answers—and the church must step up to the plate to provide more help to people like Christopher, Dylann, Elliot and Adam before they reach the breaking point. That's why I'm grateful California Pastor Rick Warren and his wife, Kay (whose 27-year-old son battled depression and committed suicide in 2013), have organized a conference on mental illness that begins today. The Gathering on Mental Health and the Church will convene at Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, California, Oct. 7-9.
"It's time to break the silence and stigma surrounding mental illness," says Kay Warren. "Every church, regardless of size or location, can be a place of refuge and love and compassion for those who need it most."
Hopefully Saddleback's willingness to apply the gospel to this taboo topic will result in a wave of healing in this country. For too long we have ignored this complicated problem—or we've deliberately swept it under the rug. The church should be the place where families go to find answers to mental illness—and not after a school massacre but before it happens.

2015 - The Tipping Point (Prophetic Insights for Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Tasmania, China, the UK, Ireland, France, Germany and Canada) - by Mary Lindow

2015 - The Tipping Point 

by Mary Lindow

Identity Network

 
 
Dear Lover of God's People,

 
For several months the Lord has been sharing with me either in night visions (dreams) or in prophetic impressions and scripture regarding Africa, Australia and China, The United Kingdom, Ireland, France, Germany and Canada.

 
I will share here in this message, only what the Lord impressed me with and will not attempt to interpret what the Lord has not shown to me. I only see in part and willingly submit these insights for others to pray over, inquire of the Lord over, and discern His heart in the matter.

 
In His Shadow,

 
Mary Lindow

 
Prophetic Insights Regarding Africa

 
Africa will be brought to the forefront of the media as continual savage and brutal guerrilla warriors and evil groups with blood lust in their hearts vie for political power and black market trade.

 
There are several tyrannical leaders who have continued to shake their fists at God who will be brought down in power due to health contradictions and loss of support. This will be a plot set forth by the hand of God.

 
"As I have observed, those who plow evil and those who sow trouble reap it." Job 4:8

 
The Father hears the tormented cries of the desperate hearts in intercession and will not withhold His hand of judgment and power.  An exposing of blackmail, illegal trade and embezzlements, will begin to have a snowball effect in the nation while simultaneously a wave of hunger for purity and forgiveness from God will be escalated.

 
"You evildoers frustrate the plans of the poor, but the LORD is their refuge." Psalm 14:6

 
Signs and wonders in the area of healing, creative miracles, and supernal provision of food and water will become a floodgate for revival and deliverance as the favor of God is abundantly poured out. This abundant favor is due to the intercession of the saints in Africa and others hidden as well, in other nations who pray for Africa.

 
A fresh focus on mercy and grace will overtake the dictatorial and hierarchical form of church government in Africa. The Lord specifically says that those who have been paralyzed and dwarfed in their freedom to preach the gospel of the Kingdom in Africa due to religious control and restraints will have a supernatural deliverance out of this bondage.

 
"From the LORD comes deliverance.  May your blessing be on your people." Psalm 3:8

 
Home gatherings and small intimate groups of hungry saints will begin to break out across the nation. Miracles will occur, worship will be a passionate feast and no longer time restricted. 

 
I see in the spirit, large open field areas with African saints gathering in large groups simply raising hands in unashamed worship and adoration without time restraints. It sounds like one voice in unison before the Throne of God and the Light of God surrounds them in purity and joy as they cry out in praise and intercession for their nation.

 
"All the nations you have made will come and worship before you, O Lord; they will bring glory to your name." Psalm 86:9

 
Children in many regions of Africa will begin to have visions of heaven and of Jesus.

 
They will prophesy boldly and preach with an anointed fervor. This will cause a great fear of the Lord in the hearts of those who practice dark magic and witchcraft, and evil spirits will be driven out of bodies and minds as the Word of God is proclaimed.

 
It will be as if a large fist has come down from Heaven and has smashed and scattered the plots of the wicked only to open up and gently hold those near to the heart of God through humility.

 
"Do you hear what these children are saying?" they asked him. "Yes," replied Jesus, "have you never read, 'From the lips of children and infants you have ordained praise'?"Matthew 21:16

 
Prophetic Insights Regarding Australia, New Zealand and Tasmania

 
The Lord impressed me with a picture of large gatherings in denominational cathedrals filled with believers worshipping and praying. These people were of many colors and creeds, but were exhausted from religious exercises. They wanted unity.

 
A Ram's horn began to be shaped into a Shofar and someone was blowing it like an alarm over and over again!

 
The sound coming up from these people gathered in prayer becomes a roar of repentance and intercession. It grew louder and louder as believers were crying out to heaven for protection and wisdom.

 
The Lord would speak to Australia and says these words.

 
"Prayer is the only hedge of protection you actually have. You will tabernacle with me in the place of Prayer.

 
You must have a passion and flame inspired through unity in prayer as I increase your momentum in prayer for your nation and other nations."

 
"Then my head will be exalted above the enemies who surround me; at his tabernacle will I sacrifice with shouts of joy; I will sing and make music to the LORD." Psalm 27:6

 
"Repent for embracing false gods, eastern religious influences, and relaxed attitudes towards exploited pleasure and sexual freedoms.

 
Return to me Land of the Holy Spirit and I will cause the South winds to blow rain upon your crops, and Rain from Heaven's hands into your places of prayer."

 
Come back to simplicity and stalwart integrity.

 
Who has bewitched you into complacent action in purity of heart?

 
Cast off the garment of seduction and put on the garment of praise and begin to violently accost the powers of "spiritual hypnosis" through cleansing your hearts of hidden idols and pleasures. Replace them with grace, self-control, mercy, and loving kindness."

 
"They worshiped their idols, which became a snare to them." Psalm 106:36

 
He in turn will water the seed of heartfelt prayer, expressed in unity and others will be drawn to the amazing results of prayer.

 
Australia will also have a backlash of premeditated Islamic uprisings from hidden irritants now well entrenched in the nation.
 
 
Believers must now make a decision for either tolerance or truth. Complacency will be addressed by the Lord through young fiery men and women of God who do not fear even death for the sake of the Power of the Cross and Resurrected Savior.

 
A Clash of cultures will bring about a wave of salvation and powerful demonstrations of the Holy Spirit.

 
Tasmania and New Zealand

 
You will have what appears to be in a spiritual sense, "Wildfires lit by the Hand of God." Young people praying day and night along side elderly humble saints, who have prayed for years that God would revisit them in power, will experience heavenly refreshing and fresh worship music will be released in these sacrificial gatherings of prayer.

 
"Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord." Acts 3:19

 
Australia! Let the Glory of the Lord Rise Among you!

 
Pray!

 
This is your heritage and richest export says the Spirit of God!

 
Prophetic Insights Regarding China

 
In a night vision I was shown an enormous rusty colored Dragon standing on its hind feet. The closer I was "zoomed in" to look at the dragon the bigger it appeared. The dragon had thousands of sharply pointed scales on it made of iron and the color of the dragon was derived from the color of rust on iron.

 
The dragon was extremely sophisticated and moved very sleekly and arrogantly as if it knew it was a huge, well-armored creature.

 
Standing at the base of the feet of the dragon a short distance away were men from leadership in different nations. They were all dressed in "Power" suits, (dark business suits, white shirts, subdued ties).

 
Each man was holding a large bow and arrow, and they were pulling tightly and were aimed at the dragon. On the shaft of each arrow the flag of the individual persons nation was hanging from it. I saw President Bush, a male German ruler, Switzerland, Brussels, France, and Britain all represented.

 
These powerful men with the bows and arrows were shooting the arrows at the Dragon only to have them pitifully bounce off of its iron armored scales.

 
Revelation 13:4 "Men worshiped the dragon because he had given authority to the beast, and they also worshiped the beast and asked, "Who is like the beast? Who can make war against him?"

 
This amused the dragon!

 
It knew that it had risen in power and armament as well as knowledge and intelligence regarding it's relations with other "Power" countries, and was now laughing at the presumed attempt to control the Dragon.

 
After I woke from this dream I was also impressed by the Lord that there was going to be a big exposure of the abuse of slave-like labor practices in China. This will stir up the exposure of China's human rights abuses and startling and hideous practices of human experimentation and torture will be revealed.

 
The growth of the underground Chinese church will begin to sway the current lock down on Christians in worship.

 
There are going to be signs and wonders in the sky above China that will cause people to fall on their knees in either worship or terror as God begins to orchestrate a move of unsurpassed Redemption.

 
"Worship the LORD in the splendor of his holiness; Tremble before him, all the earth."Psalm 96:9

 
"God also testified to it by signs, wonders and various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to his will." Hebrews 2:4

 
The Lord has heard the cries of those martyred for His namesake and is coming with great power and exposure in China.

 
Governmental rulers who have stalked and tracked down preachers of the Gospel will be caught in the act of abuse and human trafficking.

 
"A man tormented by the guilt of murder will be a fugitive till death; let no one support him." Proverbs 28:17

 
There will be a window of great opportunity in China for a season as the Lord draws the lost to His heart.  Pray for Divine Protection, strength, and boldness among the saints in China!!

 
"Then I was told, You are to make a fresh prophecy concerning many peoples and races and nations, And languages and kings." Revelation 10:11

 
The United Kingdom

 
There will be a ROAR of prayer heard from desperate hearts in the UK. Prayer will be a way of life in many small Hamlets and Villages, and many homes will become chapels of healing and miracles.

 
Central London will have an epic move of God as He sends in intercessors in tandem with relevant and fiery Revivalists who will have such a strong presence of God with the Power of Holy Spirit, bringing conviction that even the hardest atheist observing it all will be made to run away in terror at the potent power of God falling upon the people.

 
Joel 2:25 "And I will restore or replace for you the years that the locust has eaten - the hopping locust, the stripping locust, and the crawling locust, my great army, which I sent among you."

 
Houses of hope and care will spring up in smaller surrounding areas, where these whom have once been bound will be cared for and restored.

 
"Brethren, if any person is overtaken in misconduct or sin of any sort, you who are spiritual [who are responsive to and controlled by the Spirit] should set him right and restore and reinstate him, without any sense of superiority and with all gentleness, keeping an attentive eye on yourself, lest you should be tempted also." Galatians 6:1

 
Ireland

 
There are many hidden and faithful leaders who have weathered political and spiritual storms for decades who are now well prepared and ready for the Father's divine plan for their lives.

 
Ireland will begin to export teams of Apostolic and Prophetic missionaries into the USA and Europe.

 
These people will have a razor sharp ability to cast out religious spirits hindering moves of God. They will bring with them the fresh songs of praise and worship now ready for the hungry ears of the true worshiper.

 
The "cynical" Irishman will now become the grand believer declaring, "With God all things are possible"!

 
There will be a spotlight on Ireland with new technologies being developed and "mined" there. With it, doors will open for many to travel to Ireland and find Father and Mother mentors, ready to restore, train, and release.

 
France

 
The Father Once Again calls France, "A nation now in chaos."  But as an underground stream flows swiftly and quietly, so do those who have determined to pray and intercede with heart wrenching pleas for the Father to move within their land.

 
A spiritual passivity will begin to be addressed and shaken off of the hearts of fearful and hidden believers.

 
There will begin to be a few strong and ethical governmental leaders rise up who will begin to risk addressing the rapidly encroaching militant attacks against the people of France and its outlying regions.

 
There will be community vigils of prayer in local churches and the repenting of passiveness and elitist thinking.

 
German and French believers will begin to view one another in a Kingdom perspective and join in prayer and service to one another, creating a groundswell of food pantries with farmers and dairies that will create CO-OPs.

 
The key to breaking the spiritual stagnation in France will be the humbling of hearts before the Throne of God, and reaching out beyond its own borders.

 
Ephesians 2:14 For He is [Himself] our peace (our bond of unity and harmony).  He has made us both [Jew and Gentile] one [body], and has broken down (destroyed, abolished) the hostile dividing wall between us.

 
Germany

 
Germany will have a large revolt and uprising from among the youth as the economy continues to stress and bend.  Looting and the stealing and selling of automobiles will become a raging epidemic.

 
"For when the world with all its earthly wisdom failed to perceive and recognize and know God by means of its own philosophy, God in His wisdom was pleased through the foolishness of preaching [salvation, procured by Christ and to be had through Him], to save those who believed (who clung to and trusted in and relied on Him)." 1 Corinthians 1:21

 
Simultaneously, young street evangelists who have been well trained as well as well educated, will be commissioned to reach out to those rioting and manifesting.

 
Government leaders will not know what to do with the uproar, and sanctions against open religious expressions will be put in place.

 
Nevertheless, young Pauls and Silas's will not fear what man can do to them and will continue to flow in the power of Evangelism, seeing the hand of God spare the lives of many.

 
Jonah 3:2 "Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and preach and cry out to it the preaching that I tell you."

 
Canada

 
Canada will experience one of its most prosperous seasons ever known, for a short season.

 
The Lord would have Canada know that they must deal fairly with the wealth that they will produce, and pay back the First Native families, and with Godly equity.

 
If this is not addressed with wisdom and integrity, Canada will have to pass through the sorrows of disobedience.

 
Canadian Intercessors are being awakened and called up to stand in the place of prayer for its leaders and tribes.

 
Now is not the time for silliness and laughter.  It is a sober day, with a command for sober prayers.

 
A Scripture for Canada at this Time

 
"Accordingly then, let us not sleep, as the rest do, but let us keep wide awake (alert, watchful, cautious, and on our guard) and let us be sober (calm, collected, and circumspect)." 1 Thessalonians 5:6

 
"Get up! Stand UP! Be Purposeful!" says the Lord.

 
How do you not know that through your borders I can bring a North American Wave of Justice and Restoration?"

 
"So brace up your minds; be sober (circumspect, morally alert); set your hope wholly and unchangeably on the grace (divine favor) that is coming to you when Jesus Christ (the Messiah) is revealed." 1 Peter 1:13

 
In Closing,

 
I bless you, the reader and listener of these prophetic insights, in the name of Jesus.

 
May His word be a lamp to your feet and a light to your path.  2 Peter 1:21

 
"Then I fell down at his feet to worship him, but he said, 'No, don't worship me.  I am a servant of God, just like you and your brothers and sisters who testify about their faith in Jesus.  Worship only God.  For the essence of prophecy is to give a clear witness for Jesus.'" - Revelation 19:10
