AS FOR ME AND MY HOUSE
Time is of the essence; and time, as all created things, is running out. Our choices, too, are becoming more weighty, not necessarily because they are more difficult than yesterday’s, but rather because there is far less time for correcting bad choices and a far greater proximity to their inevitable negative consequences.
 
Visiting recently with Christian friends about the upcoming elections, we were surprised by the ambivalence and seeming confusion, even delusion, some of them displayed....

WHO IS A JEW?
 
 
“Thus says the Lord, Who gives the sun for light by day, and the fixed order of the moon and the stars for light by night, Who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar; the Lord of hosts is His name: ‘If this fixed order departs from before Me,’ declares the Lord, ‘Then the offspring of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before Me forever.’” Jeremiah 31:35-36.
It is essential in God’s overall plan...

DAYS OF DANGER AND GLORY
 
 
Historically, the three weeks between July 20, 2008 (17th of Tammuz) and August 10, 2008 (9th of Av), represent a season of danger, mourning and destruction for the Jewish people. According to Rabbinic source, there is a particular hideous demon power assigned for this season which repeatedly manifests death, hatred and devastation during this very time.
 
On these dates the Babylonian army destroyed the first Jerusalem Temple (586 BC), the Roman legions destroyed the second Temple (70...

PENTECOST – WHERE IS THE POWER?
 
Now that we are in the very season of Pentecost, we were requested to republish our article “PENTECOST – WHERE IS THE POWER?” The truths addressed in this teaching are especially pertinent now with all the buzz regarding revival in the air (many of you have no doubt heard by now of the “healing explosion” in Lakeland, FL, and its many tributaries across the world). We rejoice with all those touched by God’s power...

PENTECOST – WHERE IS THE POWER?
 
Pentecost is for you! Passover is our past, speaking of our personal exodus out of slavery and oppression by the blood of the Lamb. Tabernacles is our future, speaking of the grand finale of the age, the harvest, the epic victory of God and the coming of His awesome Kingdom. Pentecost, the summer feast, is where the church of God is living today; the season of the progressive and relentless moves of the Spirit.

PASSOVER – OUR EVERLASTING DELIVERANCE
 
“For Christ our Passover also has been sacrificed. Therefore let us celebrate the feast, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.” (I Cor. 5:7-8)
 
Passover is all about Jesus’ sacrifice and our deliverance. Consequently, the Word of God admonishes us to celebrate this reality with a genuine and sincere heart of reverence and worship, taking in the full measure of grace and truth...

PURIM DATE CORRECTION:
 
The first paragraph of our Purim message published earlier today mistakenly indicated that the conclusion of the 40 day Islamic mourning period for the terrorist Imad Mughnieh AND the Feast of Purim will coincide with one another on the 22nd of the month of April. That was a typing error.
 
The correct date for this event is March 22, and the Feast of PURIM THIS YEAR ACTUALLY FALLS ON MARCH 20-23, less than a week from today! We apologize for the error and...

PURIM – A SEASON OF DANGER, INTERCESSION & DELIVERANCE
 
On February 12th a top terrorist named Imad Mughnieh was eliminated in Syria, stirring up an uproar in Jihadist circles worldwide. The Hezbollah leadership is accusing Israel of this and has promised serious retaliation. Some Israeli analysts predict that as soon as the 40 days of mourning for Mughnieh are over, Hezbollah will strike and turn the Galilee into a battle zone again. This Islamic 40 day mourning period will end on...

ONE BODY IN THE MESSIAH
 
As is evident to all who have eyes to see, ears to hear and hearts to understand, Israel is increasingly surrounded by danger, besieged by violence, and politically isolated as the days grow darker. Even as we publish these words, tensions are heightening on the southern front with dramatically escalating rocket attacks from Gaza and fierce exchanges between Hamas terrorists and Israeli Defense Forces. Watch and pray as this crisis may erupt into a full range...

LIFT UP YOUR HEADS, O GATES
 
“Lift up your heads, O gates, and be lifted up, O ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in! Who is the King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle. Lift up your heads, O gates, and lift them up, O ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in! Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, He is the King of glory. Selah.”...

A MESSIANIC CHRISTMAS CAROL
 
“But when the fulness of the time came, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the Law,  in order that He might redeem those who were under the Law, that we might receive the adoption as sons.” Galatians 4:4-5.
 
In the eternal council of God, the Lamb was slain before the foundations of the world were set in place. From the beginning, the truth about sin and its consequences was known, and the battle...

DO YOU NEED FRESH OIL?
 
The hour is later than we think and the big question for each one of us is: Is the Body of Christ truly equipped to decipher the signs of the times and discern the spirits behind the global winds of culture, politics and economy that sweep the earth? Most importantly, are we prepared for the last act of this age as the drama, intrigue and turmoil intensify with the birth pains of Messiah, preparing the earth...

THE DAY AFTER ANNAPOLIS
 
As the world stumbles on in a drunken stupor to soon celebrate the beginning of another calendar year, the birth pains of the Kingdom of God continue to intensify all across the earth. And though it appears that the recent “Peace Summit” in Maryland concluded with a political “whimper,” its ramifications and perceived accomplishments have ratcheted up the Middle East drama another notch higher than it was a week ago.
 
We would like to thank everyone...

ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE
 
Blessed Thanksgiving To You And Yours.
 
As you celebrate this special time of year with family and friends, let this word of God wash over your mind and heart which says, “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable,...

AS THE MOUNTAINS SURROUND JERUSALEM
 
Jerusalem first appears in the scriptures in the context of conflict when Father Abraham returned triumphantly from his military strike against the kings of northern Canaan. Rescuing Lot, his cousin, and all his possessions, and refusing to receive any reward from the King of Sodom, Abraham was nevertheless more than willing to receive a blessing from the mysterious King of Salem, otherwise known as Jerusalem.
 
“And Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine; now he...
