"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

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!

In Violent Jerusalem Tug-of-War, Biblical Prophecy Unfolding Before Our Eyes

The nations of the world are increasing their efforts to weaken or remove Jewish sovereignty in Jerusalem. Is this a fulfillment of Zechariah 12:3’s prophecy that, at the End of Days, the nations of the earth will gather against Jerusalem?

Bold & Beautiful - Now Think On This by Steve Martin

Bold & Beautiful
Now Think On This
by Steve Martin

Come here, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb." (Revelation 21:9, NASU)


Often we heard in our churches and ministries these past decades (at least in the several my wife and I were involved with) that the Lord Jesus (Yeshua) would have a chosen people, empowered to take the Gospel to the nations. Looking around, I was somewhat skeptical, and rather uncertain, that that was going to happen. Even while working with ministries and churches during that period, I could see that the reality within revealed deep problems. Churches were splitting. Ministry staffs were dealing with ongoing personnel problems. People were continually getting hurt. Many left the walk after all the talk.

Doubt and unbelief fought often against the faith I had. It didn’t take much spiritual discernment to see it as a battle also going on in the rest of my family. It may not have always manifested on the outside, but I could tell they felt the strain in their spirits too.

On the American scene and elsewhere, Christians were going backwards. Giving up rather than leading on.

Living as those around them culturally, the light of the world wasn’t shining too bright through lukewarm believers.  Separation from the world became very thin, weakened on every level. Strong, Biblical teaching gave way to watered down messages. Ear -tickled congregations grew substantially. The true, Living Word of God, the foundational Scriptures, sat on the back pew as the “abundant grace and all forgiving love” sayings of the day were declared.

What power the church once had no longer had enough spirit to stop the millions of babies from being aborted; marriage from becoming just civil law rather than the sacramental institution it was established as; and the rich getting richer while all the time the poor among us got poorer.

It would certainly take a miracle to change the direction the church as a whole was going. The ugly bride wasn’t going to make it to the ceremony at this rate.

It seems that the enemy of our souls, who himself thought he had defeated Jesus at the cross, was again ruling and reigning. Evil continues to abound, as Muslims murder Christians worldwide. The devil has taken over the seven mountain spheres that some have spoken about. Churches have died off, literally, as the previous generation has gone on. Most young people have never stepped foot in places once revered as holy.

At least that is the way it seems. In fact, that was just last month.

But the Son is going to rise.

Seated on His heavenly throne, since His ascent following His resurrection from the dead, Jesus (His given name Yeshua, meaning "salvation" in Hebrew), is about to be given the go ahead by His Father to return to this planet.

The signs of the times are on high speed, accelerating as they check off the fulfillment of prophecy set before time began. From all eternity, the Father God’s plan and purpose has been to give His Son a beautiful Bride. He will keep His word to Yeshua.

Again I will repeat the written Word of God. “Come here, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb." (Revelation 21:9, NASU)

How is this going to happen?

It is up to the Father to make it happen. We do not have the power within us, apart from His Holy Spirit, Ruach HaKodesh, for it to come to pass. But He does.

After Jesus’ return to heaven the first time, as promised He sent Holy Spirit to the chosen Jews, as He Himself was, and is. The power needed to accomplish His will had been given to them, to begin His church.

When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place. And suddenly there came from heaven a noise like a violent rushing wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. And there appeared to them tongues as of fire distributing themselves, and they rested on each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit was giving them utterance.” Acts 2:1-4, NASU

I believe the Lord will again send His Holy Spirit in a most powerful and dramatic way, to fill us, work through us, and bring in the last day harvest before His soon coming return. Through the fire without and within, and the pressure from our surroundings, even as coal is compressed into a diamond, we will experience that which it will take to get us to where we are going.

The nations will be reached; His Gospel will be preached, and the gates of hell shall not prevail.

Out of what is coming on the earth will come forth a bold and beautiful bride, made up of both believing Jews and grafted-in Gentiles, transformed by the saving grace of Almighty God. We will not fall back in fear, cowardliness or weakness, but will be empowered to carry out His mission.

When it is all said and done, we will be transformed and ready to be handed over to the Groom at the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.

I believe it. You can too.

ISIS Sends Cyber-Attacks Against US Power Grid - BIN

ISIS Sends Cyber-Attacks Against US Power Grid


“You, O Lord, will keep them; you will guard us from this generation forever.” (Psalms 12:7)
On Wednesday, US law enforcement officials revealed a series of cyber attacks in which ISIS attempted to sabotage the American electrical system. The disclosure was given at a conference of American energy firms which were meeting about national security concerns.
Caitlin Durkovich, assistant secretary for infrastructure protection at the Department of Homeland Security, warned company executives that “ISIS is beginning to perpetrate cyber attacks.”
According to investigators, who would not reveal specifics, the attacks by the Islamic State have been unsuccessful. The reason given for this was that the systems which cyberterrorists are currently using are not the most sophisticated hacking tools on the market.
John Riggi, a section chief at the FBI’s cyber division, called this a situation of “strong intent, but  thankfully, low capability.” However, Riggi said, he worries that this will not always be the case, adding, “The concern is that they’ll buy that capability.”
Hacking software is already available in most countries on the black markets, and various mafias have already made use of this technology to break into companies and steal large databases of information which they then sell to fraudsters.
Read "Catch the Jew" - A True Laugh Out Loud Look Inside Israel
Currently the FBI’s most immediate worry is that the Islamic State or one of its supporters will buy malicious software which can sneak into computers and destroy electronics, causing a loss of data, or, in a worst-case scenario, an economic crisis. Such an attack on power companies’ software or systems could in theory disrupt the flow of energy to a portion of US homes and businesses.
Riggi added that the US electrical system as a whole isn’t likely to go down from just one attack, saying that it would take a large and expensive team of highly technical spies to understand the layout of computers and machines at an energy company. Following that, it would take “stellar hackers” to sneak into the system and sabotage it.
According to Riggi, “The likelihood of a hack taking out the entire US energy grid – or even a section of it – is extremely low. The grid isn’t as uniform and connected as people might believe. Currently, it’s a chaotic patchwork of ‘grids’, each with different types of machines and software that don’t smoothly coordinate or communicate with each other.”
Mark Lemery, a critical infrastructure protection coordinator who helps coordinate defenses against attacks in Utah, said at the conference, “There’s an equal threat from domestic terrorists and hate groups as well as those from abroad. They’d love to do damage, but they just don’t have the capability.” He added, “Terrorists have not gotten to the point where they’re causing physical damage.” The danger remains, however, that rogue agencies could develop or purchase the technology to cause harm.

Clear Proof We're Fast Approaching a New World Order - Michael Snyder

Clear Proof We're Fast Approaching a New World Order




The global elite have never been closer to their goal of a united world.
Thanks to a series of interlocking treaties and international agreements, the governance of this planet is increasingly becoming globalized and centralized, but most people don't seem alarmed by this at all.
In the past 30 days, we have seen some of the biggest steps toward a one world government, a one world economy and a one world religion that we have ever witnessed, but these events have sparked very little public discussion or debate. So please share this article with as many people as you can. We need to wake people up about this before it is too late.
From Sept. 25-27, the United Nations launched a "new universal agenda" for humanity. Those are not my words, they actually come directly out of the core document for this new agenda. The pope traveled to New York City to give the address that kicked off this conference, thus giving his considerable endorsement to this new plan. Virtually every nation on the entire planet willingly signed up for the 17 goals that are included in this plan, but this stunning turn of events made very few international headlines.
The United Nations is promising that if we all work together that we can turn our planet into some kind of "utopia", but the truth is that all of this talk about "unity" masks a very insidious agenda. The following comes from a recent piece by Paul McGuire, the author of a groundbreaking new book titled The Babylon Code:
The U.N. is not asking permission, but issuing a command that the entire planet will commit to 17 sustainable development goals and 169 sustainable development targets designed to radically transform our world by 2030. The U.N. 2030 plan promoted by the pope will advance Agenda 21 on steroids. Through a controlled media the mass populations will be told that this is all about saving the environment and "ending poverty." But that is not the true agenda of Agenda 21. The true agenda of Agenda 21 is to establish a global government, global economic system, and global religion. When U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon spoke of "a dream of a world of peace and dignity for all," this is no different than when the communists promised the people a "worker's paradise."
For the general population, "the 2030 Agenda" has been rebranded as "the global goals." On Sept. 26, some of the biggest names in the music world (including Beyonce) promoted these new "global goals" at the "Global Citizen Festival" that was held in Central Park. And you can watch a YouTube video where some of the most famous names on the entire planet urge all of us to get behind these new "global goals" right here.
None of this is by accident. We are being trained to think of ourselves as "global citizens" that belong to a "global community." Decades ago, most Americans would have been up in arms over something like this. But now most people just seem to accept these changes passively. Very powerful secret societies and international organizations have been moving us in this direction for a very long time, and most Americans simply have no idea what is happening. Here is more from McGuire:
The United Nations is a de facto global government and does not rule by the "consent of the governed." The United Nations is a global government to which American politicians of both parties have surrendered our Constitutional rights. If you look at the Republican Presidential debates you see the vast majority of those running are "bought men and women." They are there to do the bidding of their true masters, the international banking families and their interlocking secret societies. If a candidate has a different set of beliefs than the "Orwellian group think" which constitutes domestic and foreign policy, he is allowed to go only so far.
Who are these powerful elite groups and the secret societies that run them? As we extensively document in our new book, The Babylon Code, co-authored by this author and Troy Anderson, a Pulitzer Prize-nominated investigative journalist, there exists a very real network of semi-secretive and secret groups. Groups like The Council on Foreign Relations, The Trilateral Commission, Royal Institute of International Affairs, United Nations, Club of Rome, The Bilderberg Group, and others control presidents, prime ministers, media networks, politicians, CEO's, and entire nations. You will almost never hear any substantive analysis by the media, which is controlled by these groups, nor of attempts at holding them accountable by governments around the world.
Another way that our planet is being "united" is through the use of international trade agreements.
The ultimate goal is for the entire world to become a "single market" with uniform laws, rules and regulations. But as we merge our economy with the rest of the globe, the United States has been losing tens of thousands of businesses and millions of jobs as the monolithic corporations that now dominate our economy shift production to areas where labor is much cheaper. This is absolutely destroying the middle class, but very few people seem to care.
Negotiations for one of the biggest international trade treaties that the world has ever seen recently concluded. The Trans-Pacific Partnership, also known as "Obamatrade", would represent a giant step toward a truly unified global economy. The following is an excerpt from one of my previous articles:
We have just witnessed one of the most significant steps toward a one world economic system that we have ever seen. Negotiations for the Trans-Pacific Partnership have been completed, and if approved it will create the largest trading bloc on the planet. But this is not just a trade agreement. In this treaty, Barack Obama has thrown in all sorts of things that he never would have been able to get through Congress otherwise. And once this treaty is approved, it will be exceedingly difficult to ever make changes to it. So essentially what is happening is that the Obama agenda is being permanently locked in for 40 percent of the global economy.
The United States, Canada, Japan, Mexico, Australia, Brunei, Chile, Malaysia, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore and Vietnam all intend to sign on to this insidious plan. Collectively, these nations have a total population of about 800 million people and a combined GDP of approximately 28 trillion dollars.

And do you want to know who pushed really hard to give Obama fast track negotiating authority so that these negotiations could be brought to a successful conclusion?
It was the traitorous Republican leadership in Congress. They did everything that they could to pave the way for Obamatrade.
We are also seeing some stunning moves in the direction of a one world religion.
In recent years, you may have noticed that it has become very trendy to say that all religions are just different paths to the same God. In fact, many prominent religious leaders are now openly proclaiming that the two biggest faiths on the entire planet, Christianity and Islam, worship the exact same deity.
For example, just consider what the pope is saying publicly on this matter. The following is an extended excerpt from one of my recent articles on End of the American Dream:
*****
What Pope Francis had to say at St. Patrick's Cathedral in Manhattan has received very little coverage by the mainstream media, but it was exceedingly significant. The following is how he began his address:
I would like to express two sentiments for my Muslim brothers and sisters: Firstly, my greetings as they celebrate the feast of sacrifice. I would have wished my greeting to be warmer. My sentiments of closeness, my sentiments of closeness in the face of tragedy. The tragedy that they suffered in Mecca.
In this moment, I give assurances of my prayers. I unite myself with you all. A prayer to almighty god, all merciful.
He did not choose those words by accident. In Islam, Allah is known as "the all-merciful one." If you doubt this, just do a Google search.
And this is not the first time Pope Francis has used such language. For instance, the following comes from remarks that he made during his very first ecumenical meeting as pope:
I then greet and cordially thank you all, dear friends belonging to other religious traditions; first of all the Muslims, who worship the one God, living and merciful, and call upon Him in prayer, and all of you. I really appreciate your presence: in it I see a tangible sign of the will to grow in mutual esteem and cooperation for the common good of humanity.
The Catholic Church is aware of the importance of promoting friendship and respect between men and women of different religious traditions – I wish to repeat this: promoting friendship and respect between men and women of different religious traditions – it also attests the valuable work that the Pontifical Council for interreligious dialogue performs.
Pope Francis clearly believes that Christians and Muslims worship the exact same God. And so that helps to explain why he authorized "Islamic prayers and readings from the Quran" at the Vatican for the first time ever back in 2014.
*****
What is happening is undeniable.
We are steamrolling toward a one world government, a one world economy and a one world religion.
Of course we will not get there overnight. It is going to take some time, and there are going to be quite a few bumps along the way. In fact, I believe that our planet will experience an extreme amount of chaos before we actually get there.
But every major crisis will be used as an excuse to advance this agenda. Virtually every solution that the elite offer us will involve more globalization and more centralization. We will be told that all of our problems will be solved if humanity will just come together in unity.
For some, the goal of a "united planet" where we are all working together to eradicate things like poverty, war and disease makes all the sense in the world.
For others, a one world government, a one world economy and a one world religion would simply mean setting the stage for "one world tyranny."

Why, Oh Why All the Delays? Fear Not! The Encourager Hears You! by Mary Lindow - Identity Network

Why, Oh Why All the Delays? Fear Not! The Encourager Hears You! by Mary Lindow - Identity Network


A Prophetic Word of Hope

I have an unusual stirring in my spirit from the Holy Spirit as I write this message.

The Lord is revealing a sound in the earth coming from the hearts and deep cries of so many of His people right now.  Perhaps it might even be you as you read.  There is a cry of hunger for His sure, safe, presence in difficult times and in changing times.

A Need for "Quiet"

The world and it's voices of influence, humanistic subtleties, and constant technology and it's sounds, bring about an overload of weariness to all people, and there is a greater need for a place of rest for the warriors of truth who are very aware of the pressures that have not stopped mounting for many years now.

There is much treachery occurring in the evil plans of darkness and the people held captive by it these days.

It can bring a real sense of despair, broken heartedness, and shock when you encounter this type of thing and when it attempts to destroy your hope and confidence in what the Lord Jesus has set you apart for to express in His Power and in His name.

Why, Oh Why All the Delays?

I don't know fully why it seems as if good people who are sincere and pure hearted seem to go through more persecution and repeated difficulty than those who seem to be the ones perpetuating the majority of it!!

So many right now are nearly at their wits end waiting for God to relieve them of sorrow, disillusionment and battle fatigue!

"My soul faints with longing for your rescue, but I have put my hope in your word." Psalm 119:81

Fear Not!  The Encourager Hears You!

"You hear, O LORD, the desire of the afflicted; You encourage them, and you listen to their cry." Psalm 10:17

What is this verse saying to you and I right now?

It is saying that the Lord Himself will encourage us!

That is why we must continue to fight for that place of Divine "refuge," that "get away from it all" place of craving and longing for His comfort.

He knows our hurt, our loneliness, our scorched and heart torn issues!

He understands how agonizing and bled out we can get when it seems as if battle after battle we begin to wonder if something might be wrong with us!

"Hope delayed makes the heart sick, but when dreams come true, there is life and joy."Proverbs 13:12 (NAT)

Nothing can Satisfy Dry Lips Like Water!

We are in a time where no persons opinions, no one's books, no one's TV shows are going to satisfy that craving, that need for a thirst quenching drink of companionship with God.

We long to hear words from someone that tell us everything is going to be all right! That our children will be safe, our homes protected, our basic needs provided! And yet! Nothing "out there" satisfies us fully!

You See Dear Beloved One….

…The season of great hunger for the simple walk with Jesus has blossomed!

Only time spent with him like a dear friend will fill the gaping ache you have.  He will speak, He will comfort, and He will show you what is true and what is false in the days ahead if you will return to that Place of companionship with Him, away from the opinions of men and the noise of this life. 

"Every word you give me is a miracle word - how could I help but obey?  Break open your words, let the light shine out.  Let ordinary people see the meaning.

Mouth open and panting, I wanted your commands more than anything.

Turn my way, look kindly on me, as you always do to those who personally love you." Psalm 119:129-131 (The Message)

A Prophetic Whisper to Your Heart from the Savior

"To know of My ways, you must know ME!  To Know Me, you must spend time with ME.  To spend time with Me, you must purpose, to put aside the lists of things you have to do, before you can spend time with Me."

"Order you days first in My Presence, and watch the desires of your heart be fulfilled.  Man and his counsel will always fall short of the full truth of My Wisdom. I have blueprints and a Master plan for so many things yet to build upon in your life." 

"Come. Let us talk again together."

"You are the temple, the house of My Holy Spirit. I desire to build you up in spiritual strength as you walk in prayer conversations with me.  I will fulfill your longing for peace and direction as you step up again into a heavenly trust and rest."

"People will change, man will fail you, friends will turn, if they are not seeking My Voice above the clamor of the day. And you My child will fail others, if you listen to your own voice of reason and intelligence.  As you turn to Me, you will see My compassion poured out upon you and you will then have My power of pure godly compassion and wisdom driven grace to pour out on others."

"I too, long for you as well!  Seek Me with all of your heart, your longings, your heartaches, your dreams. And I will be there with arms of strength to rescue you from despair."

"You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart." Jeremiah 29:13

"The LORD is good to those, whose hope is in Him, to the one who seeks Him."Lamentations 3:25
