Pray for Nepal and Israeli Rescue Team ✡ "The Lord Your Healer"

I am the Lord your healer.

EXODUS (15:26)

Today's Israel Inspiration

We are now in the Hebrew month of Iyar - אייר - which according to Jewish tradition is an acronym that stands for the words in today's verse: אֲנִי י-ְהוָה רֹפְאֶךָ.  The very name of the month of Iyar teaches us that the powers of life and death and the ability to heal lie not in the hands of man, but exclusively in the domain of the Almighty. Please pray for the victims of Nepal’s devastating earthquake, including 150 Israeli tourists who have yet to make contact and are believed to be missing, and for the safety and success of the brave team of Israeli paramedics and disaster-relief workers who have landed in Nepal to provide medical support and emergency supplies.

"It's TIME to Empower YOUR DREAMS and the DREAMS OF THE NATION" - Chris Hoff


"It's TIME to Empower YOUR DREAMS and the DREAMS OF THE NATION"

Divine Dreams of Building and Modern Technology

I was given a series of 3 dreams over a 3-night period. In the first dream, I had I was standing in a glass house on the edge of a cliff overlooking a large canyon with land on the other side. There was an older man standing next to me who was a contractor by trade. In the dream I knew that we were supposed to build a bridge across this canyon so that people could migrate to this new territory and develop a city.

I looked at the gentleman next to me and asked him if anyone had ever tried building a bridge before. He replied, "Yes, on many occasions, but the ground has always been too hard for us to break through in order to create a strong foundation for construction." I asked him to show me the equipment they had been using and, to my surprise, he said, "Just this pick axe."

I was shocked! I asked him if he was serious. There was no response, only a look of confusion as if he knew of no other way to work, but through brute force. I began to educate him on the need for modern technology and the need to upgrade their equipment to work smarter instead of harder. I pulled out my cell phone and began making a few calls to bring in heavy machinery to do this work. (Photo via Pixabay)

The next night I had another dream. My wife and I were sitting in the back seat of my dad's old station wagon we used to get around in as a kid. As my dad was getting into the driver's seat, he handed me a number of gifts, and when I asked what these were for he told me I was to distribute them accordingly.

Immediately, I noticed my grandmother sitting in the passenger's seat of the car. At that moment she turned around and handed me an envelope with $5,000 in it and explained to me that this was my inheritance and it was time for me to manage it. I turned behind me and saw my younger brother sitting in the furthest back seat, and as I began to hand him one of these gifts my father had given me, I woke up.

The third night I had this last dream where I was walking into a large three-story circular sanctuary. The place was packed with many people on every level. I looked across the sanctuary from where I had entered and noticed a family from my childhood seated on the first level. As I approached them, they smiled and gave me a surprising look of confusion. They asked me what I was doing. Taken back, I said, "What do you mean?" The mother responded, saying, "We've all gathered in this place to hear you share your heart." I didn't understand, but reluctantly stepped out onto the empty stage and the dream changed.

Immediately, I was standing over a nuclear reactor and was dressed in white protective hazard clothing to protect me from the elements. There were two other nuclear scientists standing on either side of this reactor operating a piece of machinery that was mining through the nuclear content for something very important. As the machine recoiled from the reactor, it pulled out a large black box. 

The scientists brought it over to me, and as I began to open it I had this feeling come over me that this was something of the highest importance for people all over the country, and then I woke up.

Interpretation: Church Reformation – Look Beyond Ourselves and Join Together

As I prayed over these dreams it became apparent that God was speaking to me. I've never had three dreams over consecutive nights like this before. God had my complete attention. The Lord was showing me from this first dream that as I was standing inside a glass house, we must live from a place of transparency where we can both see outward and inward

This is in contrast to a typical house with normal walls where you cannot see outward but can only see what's confined inside its walls. God is redirecting the aim of our focus so that we not only concentrate inwardly, but that we look to the people and world around us beyond ourselves. (Photo via Pixabay)

Now is the time a bridge is built that will make a way for people to cross over into the land of their promise where their potential can thrive. However, it's clear that this feat will not be accomplished by using the existing tool set or modes of operation that generations before us have been accustomed to using. This is because over time the scope of work in God's Kingdom has expanded and God has created advances in Kingdom technology to equip us for this work.

ElijahList Prophetic Resources

The Spirit of Wisdom and Revelation is now upon the Church. Gone are the days of the pick axe where we operate independently as individuals. Now enter the season of "divine autonomation" – a synergistic partnership between the power of God and the "connected" Body of Christ. Now begins the reformation of the Church where we re-learn how to function as one person, being joined together in accordance with Ephesians 4:16, and our combined efforts are compounded exponentially.

For me, a station wagon has always been more than a mode of transportation, but a reminder of my family. I have very fond memories of travelling with by brothers, mom and dad together in our Oldsmobile station wagon. Our heavenly Father is ready to go and it's time for us to buckle up for this next ride. 

It's apparent that this next movement will now travel through the vehicle of family and shared generations. 

Even as the second dream consisted of multiple generations and extended family seated together in that station wagon, God is now moving across our country through the coming together of multi-generational family, even down to the third and fourth generations! (Photo via Pixabay)
He is gathering together people as gifts to be distributed for the empowerment of others. Each of us have been given a number of gifts – people that God has placed in our lives as He has pleased. We are to manage these gifts as His inheritance that He has given us stewardship over. It was $5,000 that was given to me in the dream, referring to the miracle of multiplication where Jesus fed the 5,000.

The people God has placed in your life are His inheritance, and as we rightly steward the relationships in our lives, there will be multiplication in the form of resources and more people. 

Today you have been commissioned to manage His inheritance faithfully unto the empowerment of one another. You have been given the 1 Corinthians 10:24 mandate to serve the well-being of others.

Empowering One Another – We Are the Answer to Someone Else's Dream!

In this third dream there were three levels to this sanctuary. God was underscoring to me again the importance of multiple generations, gathering in one place to be joined together.

Even as I had spotted a family from my childhood in this dream, God is going to begin reconnecting some of you with family from your youth that will be the very source of encouragement needed to enable you to step onto the platform of your circle of influence and operate from that place in your heart that God has made you passionate about.

If He hasn't already started doing this, I encourage you to partner with God's Word on this and seek out some of these people from your life to see what treasure you may rediscover.(Photo via Pixabay)


T.S. Elliott said, "We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time." The power of rediscovering the treasure of past relationships awaits you.

As I pondered the meaning behind why this dreamed changed from this sanctuary to me standing over a nuclear reactor, God reminded me of the process of how nuclear energy is created.

In short, the strongest bonds any element in the earth has are called covalent bonds, which are formed by the sharing of electrons between two atoms. In nuclear "fission," neutrons intentionally collide with these atoms to split their bonds to create heat or energy. 

God is very intentional in this hour about bringing us together in all types of gatherings all over the country to facilitate an environment where our destinies collide with one another.

This black box brought out from the reactor in that dream was God's empowerment. It is of the highest importance that we empower one another to live to our potential if we are to engage in this movement of another great awakening.

We are the answer to someone else's dream! When we "collide" with one another, through relationship built on God's love, it produces a reaction of "splitting off" or "sending out" – meaning that we empower one another to step into the fullness of who we are meant to be. As we allow God to connect us together we will empower one another to rise to our potential. Now is the time we build a bridge into the land of God's promise. (Photo via Pixabay)

Why Iraq's ISIS Escapees Are Coming to Christ in Droves

Why Iraq's ISIS Escapees Are Coming to Christ in Droves

"Could this happen to us in America?" That was the question from Patrick Klein President of Vision Beyond Borders following his recent trip to Northern Iraq.
The refugee crisis in and around Iraq is mind-boggling. According to the United Nations High Commission on Refugees (UNHCR), there are more 250,000 refugees living in Iraq. There are another 426,000 refugees from Iraq. And, another 1.9 million internally displaced people (IDPs). That means there are 2.4 million people who have incredible needs in and around Iraq.
Klein just returned from visiting refugee camps in and around Dohuk. The stories he heard were heartbreaking. The testimonies of Christians were amazing. The needs of refugees, overwhelming.
President of VBB Patrick Klein says he visited Iraqi refugees forced from their homes in Mosul—many of them, Christians. "Most of them have lost hope, and they're just discouraged. They say: 'Where do we go? What do we do now? Maybe if we come to America or Europe, we can start a new life.' I don't want to see 300,000 Christians leave Iraq [with] no Christian witness left in Iraq."
Many of the refugees are college educated, middle class Iraqis who had good jobs and bank accounts to help support their families. That all changed with the Islamic State started taking over in June. "There were 52,000 security forces protecting Mosul and the surrounding area. There were 3,000 ISIS. They believe Maliki, the former president of Iraq, told the generals to lay down their arms and surrender, and they don't know why."
When that happened, ISIS started going from village to village forcing Christians to leave. "A lot of [the Christians] had Muslim neighbors they knew for 30 years. These Muslim neighbors said, 'Get out of Iraq. You don't belong here. We hate you Christians.'"
They were forced to either convert to Islam, leave or die. "One man told us: 'I think God is chastising us because we forgot God. We stopped reading our Bibles. We stopped praying. Maybe God is using this.' He said, 'I want to tell you, my family and I we're having devotions together every night. We're praying together. We're reading the Bible together.' He said, 'We realize that all we have is Jesus.'"
According to Klein, this trip was the hardest trip he's ever made. It forced him to ask an important question. "I thought: 'Could this happen to us in America? Could we be forced with a decision? Are we going to follow Christ or walk away from everything we own?' I pray that the church in America would love him passionately, that we would not lose our first love."
The spread of ISIS is also impacting nominal Muslims who are helping refugees. Klein says, "A lot of people—Muslims—are saying, 'If this is what Islam is, we don't want to be Muslims anymore,' and they're opening up to the gospel."
VBB is working through local churches on the ground there to provide for the needs of refugees. They hope to fill a shipping container. "We're going to send hygiene supplies: shampoo, soap, washcloths, toothbrushes, toothpaste, basic toiletry supplies. And then, we're also going to send in some medical supplies: vitamins, Tylenol, bandaids and Neosporin–things like that."
Klein says you can either send in cash so VBB can purchase the supplies, or you can collect them yourself and send them to VBB's Wyoming office. Click here for additional information about VBB and their work worldwide.

Christian Bakery Fined $135,000 for ‘Discrimination’ Against Gays. Then They Get More Bad News.

Christian Bakery Fined $135,000 for ‘Discrimination’ Against Gays. Then They Get More Bad News.

Aaron and Melissa Klein, the Oregon-based owners of Sweet Cakes Bakery, learned Friday that the judge overseeing the sentencing of their discrimination conviction recommended a $135,000 payment to the lesbian couple which was refused service.
The backstory: two years ago, the bakery refused to bake a wedding cake for a lesbian couple, citing religious beliefs. In January, 2014, the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries brought charges against them for violating Oregon’s Equality Act of 2007. They were found guilty in January, 2015, with a financial penalty potential of up to $150,000, to be determined at a later date.
The judge’s recommendation was issued Friday. In a statement on the ruling, which awards $135,000 to Rachel and Laurel Bowman-Cryer, for “emotional suffering,” the Bureau of Labor and Industries said this:
The facts of this case clearly demonstrate that the Kleins unlawfully discriminated against the complainants. Under Oregon law, businesses cannot discriminate or refuse service based on sexual orientation, just as they cannot turn customers away because of race, sex, disability, age or religion. Our agency is committed to fair and thorough enforcement of Oregon civil rights laws, including the Equality Act of 2007.
The amounts are damages related to the harm suffered by the Complainants, not fines or civil penalties which are punitive in nature.
According to the Washington Times, the order is not final and both sides have 10 days in which to respond before a final amount is issued by the labor commissioner. Also, either party could appeal the decision via an appeals court.
Melissa is clearly distraught about the decision in an interview she did for The Daily Signal:
In an interview with the Family Research Council, the Kleins responded to the news:
It’s very discouraging. This is not money coming from a business, this is not money coming from an insurance fund, this is money coming straight from our bank account.
This is money that should be used to pay my mortgage, money that should be used to feed our kids, not something that should be given to others. This is a decision I made because of my faith, and now the government is now saying it doesn’t matter, your kids can suffer for it as well.
You have unsubstantiated emotional damages — that’s what this came down to. There was never any physical or financial harm done to the plaintiffs. This was specifically to emotional damages. It takes a lot to explain where $135,000 comes from.
Immediately after the ruling was issued, the Facebook page for the bakery announced that a GoFundMe account was set up but a subsequent post stated that it was shut down:
This is what is written:
“The gofundme account that was set up to help our family was shut down by the administrators of gofundme because they claimed it was raising money for an illegal purpose. We have told gofundme that the money is simply going to be used to help our family, and there is no legitimate breach of their terms and conditions. We are working to get the account reinstated.
However, in the mean time, if you would like to donate, you can do so here: http://www.samaritanspurse.org/article/christian-couple-faces-135000-fine/
For all of you who gave to the gofundme account before it was shut down, we so appreciate your love and generosity. Gofundme has told us that we will still receive those funds.”
There is a donation page that people are taken to upon following the link:

Samaritan's Purse to Help Persecuted Oregon Bakers - Franklin Graham

Samaritan's Purse to Help Persecuted Oregon Bakers




Samaritan's Purse, headed by evangelist Franklin Graham, says it will help with expenses for persecuted Oregon bakers, Aaron and Melissa Klein.

The Kleins lost their baking business in the Portland suburb of Gresham, after they refused to bake a wedding cake for a lesbian couple in 2013.

The couple filed a complaint with the state of Oregon, which ruled the Kleins discriminated against the couple.

An administrative law judge fined them $135,000 on Friday and ordered them to pay the couple for "emotional, mental and physical suffering."

The Kleins also became targets for gay activists, who protested outside the Sweet Cakes shop and harassed vendors who came to supply the Kleins' business, which had been thriving.

"Basically, what has happened is that I have been stripped of my religious freedom. I cannot speak freely," Aaron Klein told Decision magazine.

"Now, all of a sudden, if you're in business as a Christian, you have no recourse. I have been told by some people that if you want to be a Christian and stick to your convictions, you should not be opening a public business," he said.

Conservative radio host Erick Erickson sent a link to the website Go Fund Me, where an account had been set up to help the Kleins. But Erickson sent out a message saying "Go Fund Me has taken down the account and cancelled the fundraiser."

Samaritan's Purse took up the cause. President Franklin Graham said, "They (the Kleins) have taken a stand for the Word of God, and they should not have to stand alone."

He added, "Please pray for Aaron and Melissa, and pray for our nation. When our judges are punishing Christians for practicing what they believe, that's persecution, plain and simple."
