MIDDLE EAST UPROAR

Things are looking increasingly uncertain in the Middle East right now. Iran is in a stir over the recent re-election of Ahmahdenijad and Israel is divided over Netanyahu's recent speech. Now is the time to be praying for peace in the Middle East and praying for our leadership here in the United States as well. Be mindful of the decisions you make and remember the goal of the enemy is to deceive you and one of the first signs of that deception is excuses. If you notice yourself or others making excuse after excuse be reminded that deception is at work.

America and Israel

So how close is the relationship with Israel and the US today? I believe we are seeing the beginning stages of a weaker relationship with Israel. Ps 122:6 is still ringing loudly from the scriptures yet deception is driving more and more people against Israel. Last night at study we were looking at Romans 4 and who is Abraham? What is his significance? Why was he righteous? So we looked at Genesis 11 - 21 and answered a lot of those questions. Seeing that Abraham believed God and God credited it to him as righteousness. There were no works that made him righteous it was God alone through faith. Take a look at theses scriptures and ask the Lord what is the importance.. one hint (We are of the seed of Abraham through faith). I think it is becoming very evident how the US/Israel relationship is going. Be praying for the peace in Jerusalem/Israel, and God's mercy on our country and people. 1 Thess 5:18 - In everything give thanks....... read this verse its amazing!
