The ancient holy city of Jerusalem amid the Passover holiday is truly abuzz with visitors from all over the world who yearn for a little taste of the Old City's magic!
As soon as the first day of Passover concluded, entire families gathered in a field in southern Israel to harvest barley that would be used the next day by men of the priestly caste to recreate the Omer offering of barley as instructed by God in the Bible.
Upon the miraculous exodus of the Israelite nation from their arduous lives of slavery in Egypt, the Egyptians, led by Pharaoh, attempted to pursue the Hebrews into the Red Sea. But with an almighty Hand, God destroyed the enemy, saving His nation from certain death. After witnessing yet another certain miracle, the women of the nation, led by Miriam the Prophetess, gathered their instruments and sang to their hearts' delight of the wonder of God's mighty Hand. Emulate Biblical times with this special instrument, and praise the Almighty for His never ending love and devotion to His beloved people!

The Case for Christ is likely already showing in several of your favorite movie theaters starting this past weekend.
If you haven't already heard of the book The Case for Christ, it tells the story of Lee Strobel, who was an award-winning legal editor at the Chicago Tribune in the 1980s. Lee was an avowed atheist, but one day his wife came home to tell him she had decided to believe in Jesus. This was difficult news for him, and set him on a journey to investigate the claims of Christianity in order to prove it false and save his wife from what he considered to be a cult.
After nearly two years of meeting with experts and weighing the evidence, Lee concluded, as an atheist, that there was an avalanche of evidence pointing to the truth of Jesus Christ, and Lee chose to put his faith in Christ.
In 1998, he shared the story of his journey in the book The Case for Christ, which has gone on, along with follow-up books, to be read by more than 14 million people worldwide.
He has spoken at several of our conferences and has become a friend over the past few years. We've been thrilled to partner as a ministry on the impact of this Pure Flix film by sharing it with as many people as we can.
It is my great hope that you will see the film as soon as possible and take a few friends along with you. Consider buying group tickets for your churchor doing a theater buyout in your city. And share your excitement about the film with everyone you know. Let's all mobilize behind this film to help it have the biggest impact possible.
Here Are 4 Reasons You Should See The Case for Christ Movie:
1. Lee's story is iconic and unforgettable.
There are just some stories in the Christian world that you can't get out of your mind. Lee's story is one of those.
Several years ago, we spent time with Elizabeth Sherrill, who was the ghostwriter of The Cross and the Switchblade for David Wilkerson, The Hiding Place for Corrie Ten Boom, God's Smuggler for Brother Andrew and others. It amazes me that she played such a role in telling stories that lived on in the church.
Lee's story reminds me of these iconic and unforgettable stories—his story is such a God-story that needs to be told to more people.
2. Lee's story helps us see the logic behind our faith.
Not many of us are as qualified as Lee to investigate the claims of Christianity with the keen mind of a journalist. Lee was trained by the best and was an award-winning journalist. He took these investigative skills and applied them to Christianity in a way few could do.
Lee believes Christianity is an investigable faith, in the way journalists investigate their stories and weigh the evidence.
He started out as a hardened atheist who thought faith was ridiculous and a crutch for the weak, and gradually realized "it would take more faith for him to maintain his atheism than to put his trust in Christ."
The Case for Christ movie gives some of this rock-solid evidence in an entertaining story format.
3. Lee's story gives us a long view of what God can do in a person's life.
From spiritual skeptic to dedicated believer, Lee's life shows us with crystal clarity that Jesus changes everything.
We all know Christians are not perfect. Christians are nowhere near perfect, but yet Jesus changes everything. Jesus changes the trajectory of our lives.
And with Lee, we see the dramatic difference that Christ can make. People in our culture need to see the impact that Christ can make on a person's life.
4. Lee's story will have your friends and your neighbors talking.
It is not often that such a powerful, well-done, solid Christian film plays in our local theaters. We need to treasure these opportunities.
The Case for Christ movie is releasing in theaters nationwide, and will have multiplied thousands talking about faith and the reality of Jesus. This is an easy inroad to talk about faith with your friends and neighbors who need the Lord, and I hope and pray you won't let it pass you by.

Global Prophetic Voice founder Dr. Theresa Phillips, senior pastor of Kingdom Global Impact Center in St. Charles, Ill., shared a new word from the Lord over the weekend in an article written for Elijah List readers.
In it, she said she was having a vision about "piracy" that was about the exposed, and how God planned for a restoration, even within the Body of Christ. Then, she suddenly heard the Lord speak directly to her, giving her this message:
Theresa, the Media is about to fold in. Some networks are going to fold up and many in business will be exposed. I am calling for a praying Church who will recognize where to pray, where to focus, and to believe for the salvation of those who will be exposed.
I am highlighting three major influential arenas. I am causing a divine interruption of media, arts and education. I am calling for these three spheres of influence to be challenged.
Yes, the world will soon see a battleground emerge in these three areas, and many will cry for justice! Parents will take their children from schools and a boycott of the film industry will emerge. Do not take this lightly," says the Lord.
These three spheres of influence will be shaken and that which is right will stand! For I am going to use My Church to be a bridge in the media. A new news beacon will emerge. Schools will say, 'Come back, we heard you.' The film industry will begin to listen to the people and more value will be placed on the family in films. This Christmas, many films will emerge that address healing within family. Yes it is so," says the Lord.
Phillips urged those who read her article to pray for those who are about to be exposed.
"Pray specifically against the piracy which God spoke to me about and that the necessary exposures would take place," she wrote. "Pray for the ones who will hear and pray for the Christian to be willing to stand against the forces of evil and go for it."

Thousands Gather on Lincoln Memorial to 'Celebrate the Name of Jesus'
CBN News 04-16-2017
Thousands of believers gathered on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ on Sunday.
Captial Church in Leesburg, Va held the special sunrise service in Washington D.C. and close to 1,700 people joined to worship, pray, and hear a sermon from the church's founder, Pastor Amos Dodge.
"19 centuries, now we push into 20, have come and gone and he is the central figure of the human race," he shared during his message.
"All the armies that have ever marched. All the navies that have ever sailed. All the parliaments that have ever sat. All the kings that have ever reigned, put together, have not affected the life of man on earth as much as this one solitary life," he added.
Ninety-nine-year-old Clarice Bailey was in the crowd listening to the sermon. She has been attending the sunrise service for the last 14 years and told CBN News she travels from West Virginia each year.
"It is encouraging and uplifting," she said.
Virginia resident Haendel Paul said attending the service have become a tradition. He explained what Easter means to him.
"To me, it means God is risen and for all the things he has done for so many people...I'm grateful and this is what Easter is about...being here and celebrating the name of Jesus," he said.
This is our week to pass over! There is so much stirring in the heavenlies, and on Sunday morning we saw an outpouring of revelation. In this week of new beginnings, the Spirit of God is declaring, "Your new path is forming!" Don't resist the stops He inserts in your week to set you in His perfect timing. Be sure to read below a portion of Sunday's prophetic release that will help you come out on the waters and cause your faith to arise!
Come Out! Faith Will Rise! Key Prophecy for the Week Ahead!
"I'm calling you to walk on the waters! Come, walk on the waters with Me. I'm extending My hand to you! I am extending My hand to You; come, go ahead and take a step! Come walk upon the waters! You will not go under the wave.
"This is the beginning of a new week. You are going to make amazing progress and be propelled ahead because this is the time that you will start moving in My faith. You will start moving in My faith—don't get your eyes on your own faith! This is where your faith and the fear of Me will mix. You will uncover secrets. As you release faith and begin to worship, you will begin to see secrets uncovered.
"For there have been many of My people who have been found within the boundaries of their own borders. You are coming with the sound of your own roar, but I am coming from outside your borders to release a roar that will encapsulate you and transform you into the sound of My image. I'm going to lead you in a direction that you're not used to going. For you have determined to go on one path, but a new path is forming. I will put key stops in your path that set you in My perfect timing. Be sure to heed the stops in the week ahead.
"If you will be in My timing I will give you an unusual positioning in your life. From that positioning, I will surprise you with My roar. You think the roar is coming through you, but I'm going to surprise you how I show up and display Myself to you! So move in a different way, as I am structuring you. The roar you need to cause the enemy around you to disperse will come forth and will cause all of those around you to see that I am favoring you. I will surprise you with the display of who I AM.
"You are going to have to step out of the boat and come see if it's Me in the water. Lean not on your own understanding! You are in a place where I am pursuing you right now. I'm coming after you right now. Keep moving in the direction I have caused you to move in, and don't just move in the way you want it go. I have sent you to a new side. I am sending you to a new place. Keep moving in that direction and I will find, establish and show you what you're to do on the other side."
A Week of Settlement
"Many of My people have been waiting, and they've been saying, 'If I can only get to this place,' or, 'If I can only do this thing,' or, 'If I can just have a reprieve.' But this is not a time to ask for a reprieve—this is a time to go in for settlement. This is a week of settlement. Seek My face, hear My voice and listen for the roar of the lion of Judah.
"This is My week that I am bringing settlements to those things that concern you. Come up here and begin to prophesy that those settlements are coming out of the very highest heaven, down through the enemy's second heaven and into the earth realm. Reach out and you bring that in this week!
"This is a week when I settled things with the gods of Egypt. This is a week when it was finally over, said and done. I emerged as the One who sits as Judge over all the gods of Egypt. Let Me judge and pronounce My settlements, settle issues and release the final word over the things that have been contending with you. This is a week of the final settlement."
Break Forth in a New Way
"If you will rise up and worship Me then you will spot the needle in the haystack that you've been looking for. The needle is there and you'll never find it from the place that you're searching. But if you will come up you will see the needle. And not only will you see the needle, but you will see the garment that I'm going to make for you to put on.
"I am sending some revelation that is going to cause your head to shake. You are thinking in one way, but I'm about to shake up some things so you will think in a different way. Don't try to put a false covering that you've been under back on top of that which I am messing up for you! If you choose the false covering, you will end up vainly searching for power and not listening to what I have to say that would cause power to come in and empower you. Let Me mess you up so a new glory emanates from you. Don't try to cover over the 'new' that I am causing to cover you.
"This is the time of breaking forth in a new way. What has seemed so hard, so difficult, so impenetrable, know that I'm coming with a new power in My people. No longer will My people bow down under what's tried to hold them back. I'm loosing a new voice in My people. The ecclesia is rising up with a new voice that is empowered by My Spirit.
"Now is the time to allow My voice to be released through you. This new sound is going to cause My people to rise up in a new way. What has tried to defeat you in days past no longer has the power. My voice is stronger and more powerful than the voice of the enemy, the voice of intimidation and the voice that would try to hold you back. Open wide your mouth and cause My word to come forth, even as a sharp sword that will penetrate and release you into a new place.
I Am the God Who Wins the War
"Do not fear the circumstances around you. In the war you are in, I am the God who wins the war. The enemy is powerless against My Spirit. I am not waiting for the world to release its voice. I am looking to My church to rise up and be the church I created her to be. Let the voice of the Lord come forth, and I shall silence the voice of the enemy.
"I am preparing to send a wind this week that has thunder and lightning on it. Where the second heaven has grown static, when I hit the wires, the sound of the wind will release a melodious sound that will come down from heaven and go back from Earth. There is a song in the heavens I am ready to bring to Earth, and I'm ready for Earth to release her song back to Me. Although the static electricity is a hindrance, the wind of My breath will hit those wires and pluck a sound.
"Those who have kingdom ears will hear this sound and echo back My sound. This is going be a stormy week. Get ready, for I am clearing out the static that's keeping you from being connected into what you need to hear and say."
