The Holy Land's Tastiest Ingredients ✡ "They Did Eat and Drink" - ISRAEL365

And he made them a feast, and they did eat and drink. Genesis 26:30 (The Israel Bible™) וַיַּעַשׂ לָהֶם מִשְׁתֶּה וַיֹּאכְלוּ וַיִּשְׁתּוּ בראשית כו:ל va-ya-as la-hem mish-teh va-yokh'-lu vayeesh'-tu

Today's Israel Inspiration Throughout the entire Hebrew Bible, we read of numerous instances where Biblical figures "make a feast" for guests as a sign of both hospitality and/or gratitude to God, such as Abraham, Laban, Pharaoh, Moses, Elkanah and King Saul. Even the festivals are closely associated with food, as it says "Feast of Unleavened Bread" (Deuteronomy 16:16), "Feast of Weeks" (Exodus 34:22) and "Feast of Tabernacles" (II Chronicles 8:13). All this eating truly begs the question: How can the physical act of eating become something spiritual? Explains Rabbi Shmuel Veffer, owner of Galilee Green, an Israeli company which produces premium extra virgin olive oil for worldwide distribution, that food is a means to connect to God. "People are souls connected to a body": God placed us into a physical world in order to uplift what we have been given and recognize the endless gifts that the Creator has bestowed upon us. As Rabbi Veffer says, “Taking care of our bodies through nutrient-rich foods and taking care of our soul through God awareness while eating is a perfect recipe to live in paradise.” Elevate each and every meal with sweet olive oil from the Land of Israel.

Prophetic Word: 'I Saw Angels at Almost the Speed of Light' - STEVE SHULTZ CHARISMA NEWS

God has more than enough angels to send thousands in your direction, so always keep praying for this (Getty Images )

Prophetic Word: 'I Saw Angels at Almost the Speed of Light'

 11/29/2016 STEVE SHULTZ  CHARISMA NEWS

Early yesterday morning, while it was still dark outside, I began to see in the spirit angels up against a blue sky, traveling at almost light-speed all over the United States of America on huge, important assignments. The air was blurry with the rush of angels. It was an amazing thing to see.

Though the skies were filled with angels traveling throughout the U.S., not even one veered from its course. Each knew what the task was to which they were assigned and paid no attention to other problem areas in the nation.

Angels Assigned to War Zones

There were pockets of dark activity below, and these angels and angelic army forces, who were assigned to these war zones in the U.S., were fighting with amazing and purposeful focus. I knew this was going on throughout the earth, but my focus was our U.S. skies.

I felt in my spirit a call to pray to strengthen these angels in their fight. God designed the earth and the whole cosmos to work through the prayers of the saints. Thus, when saints pray, angels are more successful.

Daniel prayed for 21 days and even then, Gabriel needed more help from Michael, the archangel, to get through that war zone to Daniel (see Daniel 10).

It is even more so today with more than seven billion souls on earth; the saints' prayers are needed. Your prayers are needed for the very angelic help you are seeking.

Strategic Prayer for Warring Angels, for the U.S. and for Our Families

1. Pray for angels on assignment to complete each assignment without interference for you, for your family and for your nation.

2. Pray the U.S. will be protected from within and from without by these angels from further terrorist activity. Pray for other nations in the same way.

3. Pray for your family members and friends. Pray for them by name. I was reminded the other day by Cindy Jacobs to pray Psalm 91 over all our family members. Do that for your family and for the family of God—the Body of Christ. Especially pray Psalm 91:9-12 (see below) about angelic protection.

4. Pray the post-election chaos will die down, and we will have a peaceful transition from one administration to the next in the White House.

5. Pray against all terrorist acts. Ask God to send angels throughout the earth and throughout the U.S., thwarting terrorist attacks.

6. Ask God to send even more angels than He has already sent. He has more than enough angels, but He seeks our prayers to fulfill His will. That's how He set up the universe. Your prayers are needed.

My personal testimony of praying for angels: Our family has always prayed for thousands of angels to protect us. For decades we've prayed this way. Many times, seers or prophets have been shocked by what they saw protecting our land and property: swarms and swarms of God's angels. We've prayed them in for years. You must do the same.

Again, God has more than enough angels to send thousands your direction, but always keep praying for this. Don't be stingy in your prayers. Pray big prayers for big angels for even the tiniest problems, and of course the huge ones as well.

The Lord is releasing the angels of abundant harvest. Charisma House is releasing Jennifer LeClaire's new book with a profound prophetic word and teaching principles to cooperate with heaven in this season. Check it out at angelsprophecy.com.

Read this carefully, especially verses 9-12:

Psalm 91:

He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

2 I will say of the Lord, "He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God in whom I trust."

3 Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the hunter
and from the deadly pestilence.

4 He shall cover you with His feathers,
and under His wings you shall find protection;
His faithfulness shall be your shield and wall.

5 You shall not be afraid of the terror by night,
nor of the arrow that flies by day;

6 nor of the pestilence that pursues in darkness,
nor of the destruction that strikes at noonday.

7 A thousand may fall at your side
and ten thousand at your right hand,
but it shall not come near you.

8 Only with your eyes shall you behold
and see the reward of the wicked.

9 Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge,
even the Most High, your dwelling,

10 there shall be no evil befall you,
neither shall any plague come near your tent;

11 for He shall give His angels charge over you
to guard you in all your ways.

12 They shall bear you up in their hands,
lest you strike your foot against a stone.

13 You shall tread upon the lion and adder;
the young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot.

14 Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him;
I will set him on high, because he has known My name.

15 He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,
and I will deliver him and honor him.

16 With long life I will satisfy him
and show him My salvation.

Castro Couldn't Kill Christianity in Cuba - J. LEE GRADY CHARISMA NEWS

Castro Couldn't Kill Christianity in Cuba

12/1/2016 J. LEE GRADY  CHARISMA NEWS

After Fidel Castro's death on Nov. 25, journalists, Hollywood entertainers and heads of state described the Cuban leader as an "iconic figure," a "tireless advocate for equity" and "a champion of the poor."

Never was it so obvious that the world has gone crazy than this past weekend, when world leaders applauded a dictator who tortured his own people.

Canada's prime minister, Justin Trudeau, called Castro a "remarkable leader." Vladimir Putin of Russia called him "a strong and wise man." Ban Ki-moon, secretary general of the United Nations, described Castro as "a strong voice for social justice."

These eulogies remind me of a warning from the prophet Isaiah, who wrote: "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil" (Is. 5:20a).

I appreciate Florida senator Marco Rubio's more honest assessment of Castro. A Cuban-American himself, Rubio said on the day after Castro's death: "One thing is clear: history will not absolve Fidel Castro; it will remember him as an evil, murderous dictator who inflicted misery and suffering on his own people."

I know it's tempting—in a politically correct sort of way—to say nice things about tyrants at their funerals. But it is a mockery of justice to applaud a man like Fidel Castro when his record of human rights abuses is so criminal. Regardless of where you stand politically, this man was evil personified. Consider his legacy of shame:

• He ordered mass executions of government officials when he took control of Cuba in 1959, and he was responsible for so many executions and "disappearances" of citizens that no one has been able to calculate the number;
• He imprisoned, tortured and murdered more of his own people than any other Latin American dictator;
• He forced more than 20 percent of Cuban citizens to flee the island, and some of them died in their boats while trying to escape;
• He created a police state in which citizens were subjected to 24-hour surveillance;
• He punished artists, writers and journalists for thinking freely, and he built concentration camps for dissidents—including thousands of gays and lesbians;
• He closed down all private enterprise, ended private ownership of all property and eventually destroyed Cuba's economy;
• He mentored Venezuela's dictator, Hugo Chavez, who then turned Venezuela into a sad copy of Cuba. Today, that nation is on the brink of total ruin while its people stand in line for hours to buy bread;
• He attacked churches, executed and tortured pastors and attempted to wipe out Christianity to create his socialist utopia. His motto was "Socialismo o muerte," "Socialism or death."

What is worse, and even creepy, about Castro is that he was an avowed atheist who was reportedly involved in santaria and other forms of Afro-Caribbean witchcraft. Ever since a white dove landed on Castro's shoulder during a speech in 1959, sanitaria followers have believed he enjoyed supernatural protection from assassination attempts.

What was Castro's legacy? I would suggest the inscription on his tombstone should say: "He Couldn't Stop Christianity."

I visited Cuba in 1993, just after Castro began slightly softening his cruel restrictions on religion. I met many pastors who had been arrested and sentenced to years in prison camps because of their Christian faith. They knew what it means to face the spirit of antichrist. Yet after they were released, they found that Castro was unable to stop the spread of the gospel—even though he threatened churches with demolition and prevented the building of others.

I'll never forget the night a Pentecostal pastor told me we were going to visit what he called a "house church" on the western edge of Havana. I imagined I would be worshipping with a small group huddled in a basement. But when we arrived at the house, more than 200 people were joyfully singing praise choruses in the front yard.

When I asked the pastor if he was worried the police might arrest somebody, he smiled and calmly said: "Don't worry. Everybody in this neighborhood comes to this church."

In spite of Castro's hatred of God, his thirst for blood and his iron-fisted control, he could not stop the truth of Jesus from spreading in Cuba. A recent report by CBN News says 16,000 new churches have opened in Cuba in the past two decades. Missionary work on the island is at an all-time high.

Evangelist Luis Palau's organization sponsored the largest pastor training event in Cuban history this month, and those who were involved say Cuba is witnessing a miraculous awakening.

Carlos Barbieri, director of the Luis Palau Bible Institute, said: "The church in Cuba has grown in the shadows of culture for many years. Many of the churches and church leaders were born in the trenches and underground. They are bold and persistent. They are undoubtedly a living example for others, committed to the Scriptures and passionate about the Lord."

Fidel Castro worked for decades to snuff out faith on his island. But now he is dead—and the Cuban church has not just survived, it has thrived. Castro's sad life provides a warning to all leaders bent on evil. And Cuba's dark night has finally ended.

A report based on information from senior US officials suggests that outgoing US President Barack Obama will not try to force any “peace” moves on Israel during his final weeks in office.

According to the Associated Press, Obama now has no intention of presenting one last peace proposal or of altering US policy by recognizing Palestinian statehood at the United Nations.

Prior to last month’s US presidential election, many were certain that Obama, like Bill Clinton years earlier, would in fact use his final weeks in office to try to secure for himself a positive legacy regarding the Middle East conflict.

But the surprise electoral victory of Donald Trump seems to have saved Israel from that particular headache.

The AP report suggested that knowing Trump would simply shelf any final proposal he put forward, Obama prefers not to leave office amidst public confrontation regarding his views on Israel.

Quotes

Spiritual people restore, in the spirit of meekness. The cross is our banner! And we ought to start showing some redemption. – Pastor Jim

And it’s time to get out of the comfort zone. It’s time to get into the war zone. – Mark Taylor

Scriptures

Psalm 103:12 MEV as far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us.

I John 1:9 MEV If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Galatians 6:1 KJV Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.

Matthew 5:7 MEV Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.

Matthew 7:1 KJV Judge not, that ye be not judged.

Joel 2:32 KJV And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the Lord hath said, and in the remnant whom the Lord shall call.

Isaiah 5:20 NLT What sorrow for those who say that evil is good and good is evil,
that dark is light and light is dark, that bitter is sweet and sweet is bitter.

Hosea 4:6 KJV My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

I Thessalonians 5:1-11 NCV Now, brothers and sisters, we do not need to write you about times and dates.You know very well that the day the Lord comes again will be a surprise, like a thief that comes in the night. While people are saying, “We have peace and we are safe,” they will be destroyed quickly. It is like pains that come quickly to a woman having a baby. Those people will not escape. But you, brothers and sisters, are not living in darkness, and so that day will not surprise you like a thief. You are all people who belong to the light and to the day. We do not belong to the night or to darkness. So we should not be like other people who are sleeping, but we should be alert and have self-control. Those who sleep, sleep at night. Those who get drunk, get drunk at night. But we belong to the day, so we should control ourselves. We should wear faith and love to protect us, and the hope of salvation should be our helmet. God did not choose us to suffer his anger but to have salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus died for us so that we can live together with him, whether we are alive or dead when he comes. So encourage each other and give each other strength, just as you are doing now.

I John 4:4 KJV Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

British Prime Minister Takes Strong Pro-Christian Stand

11/30/2016 THE CHRISTIAN INSTITUTE  CHARISMA NEWS

Join us on our podcast each weekday for an interesting story, well told, from Charisma News. Listen at charismapodcastnetwork.com.

---

Theresa May has said Christians should be able to speak about their faith in the workplace.

Responding to a question in Parliament today, the Prime Minister said the UK has a "very strong tradition" of "religious tolerance and freedom of speech", and added that our "Christian heritage is something we can all be proud of."

Fiona Bruce MP had raised concerns that many Christians are worried "about mentioning their faith in public", after a report by the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) hit out at organisations which suppress Christianity for fear of causing offence.

Free Speech

The Prime Minister agreed that the ability to "speak freely, respectfully and responsibly about one's religion" should be a "jealously guarded principle."

She went on to say: "I am sure we would all want to ensure that people at work do feel able to speak about their faith and also feel able to speak quite freely about Christmas."

The EHRC's report, due to be published this week, hits out at organizations that discipline Christians or drop references to Christianity.

Injustice

According to The Mail on Sunday, it references several cases where believers were treated unjustly, including that of Institute client Adrian Smith. Smith was demoted for writing that gay marriage was "an equality too far" on his private Facebook page.

One section is reported as saying: "There is no right in Britain not to be offended and, in our view, respect for people's right to express beliefs with which others might disagree, is the mark of a democratic society."

Institute Public Affairs Deputy Director, Simon Calvert, responded to the report, saying: "Christians have certainly felt that their fundamental freedoms have been set aside by the human rights and equality industry in recent years."

Change Needed

"It's a relief to see the Commission stand up for freedom of religion as a fundamental right and recognize that it should not be suppressed through fear of offending."

But Calvert insisted that the current law needs to be amended.

"We have long argued that equality law needs rebalancing so that courts have to take time to weigh up competing rights to see if both sides can be reasonably accommodated.

"Too often the courts come down strongly in favor of the secular liberal side of the argument."

What the World Can Learn from Jews About Comforting Mourners - DANIEL LANCASTER CHARISMA NEWS

Yeshua teaches us "blessed are those who mourn." (Flickr )

What the World Can Learn from Jews About Comforting Mourners

12/1/2016 DANIEL LANCASTER  CHARISMA NEWS

When you lose someone or when your heart is broken and sorrowful, you obviously don't feel happy about it.

But Yeshua teaches us "happy are those who mourn." In what way should a mourner feel happy, and when will mourners find this promised consolation?

Yeshua says, "Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted" (Matt. 5:4). The English language provides no adequate word to translate the original Hebrew expression behind Yeshua's beatitudes. Various English translations render it as "fortunate," "joyful," "blessed" or even "happy." The Hebrew implies something closer to "deeply contented."

In what way are the poor in spirit, the mourners, the downtrodden and the persecuted to be understood as glad and deeply contented? The seeming contradiction emphasizes Yeshua's central message of good news: "Theirs is the kingdom of heaven" (Matt. 5:10b).

That is to say, "Their hope is in the messianic era." Such men and women cannot base their happiness or sense of contentment on temporal circumstances. Instead, they must rely on God and His promises about the kingdom, and because they rely on God and look to the kingdom instead of this present world, they find inner peace.

The Master says, "Blessed are you who weep now, for you shall laugh" (Luke 6:21b). The Bible says in the kingdom of heaven, "Our mouth was filled with laughter ... Those who sow in tears shall leap with joyful shouting" (Psalm 126:2a, 5). The kingdom offers hope of consolation for the brokenhearted and bereaved. This explains why Jewish tradition prescribes greeting mourners with the words "May you be comforted along with the other mourners of Zion and Jerusalem."

The Master contrasted those who mourn for Zion against the powerful and elite of society such as the Romans, Herodians and Sadducees. He said, "Woe to you who laugh now, for you shall mourn and weep" (Luke 6:25b). When the kingdom comes, those who have loved this present world and its deceits will suffer loss, but those who mourn over the exile and yearn for Zion's redemption will find their consolation. "They will be comforted" because Yeshua fulfills the messianic mission "to preach good news to the poor ... to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and the opening of the prsion to those who are bound ... to comfort all who mourn, to preserve those who mourn in Zion ... the oil of joy for mourning" (Is. 61:1-3).

In this way, the beatitudes of Yeshua bring good news to the lowly and downtrodden, as the prophet Isaiah says: "Strengthen the weak hands, and support the feeble knees. Say to those who are of a fearful heart, 'Be strong, fear not. Your God will come ... even God with a recompense ... He will come and save you'" (Isaiah 35:3-4). 

Daniel Thomas Lancaster is a writer, teacher and the Director of Education at the Messianic ministry of First Fruits of Zion (ffoz.org), an international ministry with offices in Israel, Canada and the U.S., bringing Messianic Jewish teaching to Christians and Jews. He is the author of several books about the Jewish roots of Christianity, the Jewishness of the New Testament and the Torah Club Bible study program (torahclub.org). He also serves as the teaching pastor at Beth Immanuel (www.bethimmanuel.org), a Messianic Jewish synagogue in Hudson, Wisconsin. Daniel can be reached at outreach@ffoz.org.

Israel’s Fires Spark Christian Zionist Desire to Aid the Holy Land By Tsivya Fox - BREAKING ISRAEL NEWS

Israel’s Fires Spark Christian Zionist Desire to Aid the Holy Land

By Tsivya Fox November 30, 2016  BREAKING ISRAEL NEWS

“And I will bless them that bless thee, and him that curseth thee will I curse; and in thee shall all the families of the earth be blessed.” Genesis 12:3 (The Israel Bible™)

Following this past week’s wildfire devastation throughout Israel, some of which were set by terror arsonists, many Jewish organizations are reporting record donations to help rebuild the Holy Land. Perhaps lesser known but equally impressive is the immediate outpouring of love and generosity from Christian Zionists around the world.

Breaking Israel News and Israel365, two leading websites with strong connections to Christian evangelicals, joined forces and immediately asked their readers for help during this crisis. “Our readers love Israel and the Jewish people,” said Rabbi Tuly Weisz, publisher of Breaking Israel News and founder of Israel365. “As followers of God’s Bible, they were drawn to donate to rebuilding the lives and the land which have been so tragically decimated.”

On the first day of the appeal, tens of thousands of dollars came pouring in along with blessings from hundreds of donors even in countries as far-flung and unexpected as Turkey, Japan, and India. “The outpouring of love and help from Bible-reading Christians around the world reflects their love for God’s people and God’s land,” shared Rabbi Weisz. “We immediately began distributing these donations to people whose homes have been burned.”
