Where is God?: A Society Ready to Rumble - The I.D.F. in Prophecy ~ Bible Prophecy Today





A Society Ready to Rumble - The I.D.F. in Prophecy ~ Bible Prophecy Today

When people leave God Out, I leave the Scene....,

A look back at Joshua reminds me of Israel today and modern Christians Super Patriotic Christian Zionism and I shudder.......,

Imagine a person telling someone to go to war without the Ark of Covenant?

Picture Jeremiah for a moment telling Judah, you aren't going to win, but you are going into exile.

When I read the article above I could see these images as I could imagine very easily IDF getting stomped on till God intervene and reveal himself.

You see, Israel had it's Vietnam.....more than once and did not lose, but did not win....and one day what is left will be running for its life.

AND WHY?

Because Israel is apostate. Israel is in rejection of her God and God will reveal and deal with his people severely and harshly but shall redeem them unto himself....., in the end.

Israel today is Zionistic and Atheistic, it is not a religious state and ask an Israeli if He thinks God intervenes and he will likely say which one.

Zionism is not Chritsianity, nor is Christian Zionism following Jesus teaching.

We can pray for peace, but not support ungodly behavior by a Jew just because he is Israeli. As a Jew I am appalled at times by christian duplicity in many ways excusing sin among Jews because they are JEWS.........sheeesh........Hell has Jews in it, as well as Gentiles.

The IDF, like all armies, has been busted in the past for attrocities. They have had their Abu Gharib, but unlike us, because zionism is proported to be the ultimate humanistic expression of civility and manmade achievement, it is heinous to pure zionist.

War is Hell one man said and that is frankly a fact.

The coming battles are not meant to highlight some heroic occasion of Man killing man with God helping one side or the other, but the utter depravity and hoplessness of man that cannot accept the Message of the Prince of Peace.

Jesus did not come to kill nations and elevate Israel, He came to save the World and elevate the one who sent him that He spoke out to the People of his day and ours by declaring God is Love.

The Last Days heresy coming upon the World is already here and has ended one era after another when the people stand up and say they are Killing for God, when God will Himself provide the means to preserve his people.

It will not be by might, it will not be power, but by his spirit the Lord will deliver Israel and frankly when I see God deliver Israel as he promises he reveal then.

I will say to IDF............BACK OFF.......let God work.

In that day, soon, people will know it is the Lord that delivers Israel, not some concocted idea about How God will use practical means, no, God says He will reveal Himself as the only real saviour of His people.

Till then we pray, and I don't pray fro Israel to get stronger, I pray my people Turn to God and be saved.

Pray for....., What is Prayer?.......Know God






WHAT IS PRAYER?


The greatest privilege a Christian has is the privilege of prayer. Not only is it a privilege, but it is also the responsibility of every believer. Jesus said, "Men ought always to pray and not lose heart" (Luke 18:1). Prayer is simply talking to God, letting our concerns and requests be made known to Him. When we pray, we admit our need for God and our utter dependence on Him.

Only through a relationship with Jesus Christ do we have access to God (1 Timothy 2:5). We approach God in Jesus' name, not our own. Prayer is not a means of trying to get from God what we want, but rather a means by which we enable God to give us what He wants. Regarding prayer, Billy Graham said, "Prayer is the rope that pulls God and man together. But it doesn't pull God down to us; rather, it pulls us up to Him."

WHY PRAY?

We're to pray because God commands it (2 Chronicles 7:14; Luke 18:1). Through prayer, we receive things (James 4:2), experience fullness of joy (John 16:24), and find help in times of trouble. Prayer is the cure for worry (Philippians 4:6; 1 Peter 5:7) and also helps us resist temptation (Matthew 26:41).

WHEN ARE WE TO PRAY?

We are to pray always. The Bible instructs us to "Pray without ceasing" (1 Thessalonians 5:17). The Apostle Paul exhorted believers to pray "always with all prayer and supplication" (Ephesians 6:18).

TYPES OF PRAYER



PRAISE AND ADORATION

Through praise and adoration, we acknowledge God's goodness. We must recognize that when we pray, we enter God's presence (Matthew 6:9). Prayer takes us into the very throne room of God. As we reverence the Lord by communing with Him in prayer, our relationship with Him becomes more intimate, and our love more tender.

CONFESSION AND REPENTANCE

Confession and repentance are prerequisites for approaching God. The Bible assures us of forgiveness if we confess our sins to God. Jesus said, "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God" (Matthew 5:8).

THANKSGIVING

We need to always remember what God has done for us, and give Him thanks for it. We're to thank Him during the good times, as well as the bad times, "giving thanks always for all things . . ." (Ephesians 5:20). We're also to make our requests to God "with thanksgiving" (Philippians 4:6).

SUPPLICATION

Believers are to pray for our own needs and ask God for help in our daily affairs. We must never think that our requests are too small to bring before God. As Christians we are to pray about everything, being confident that God hears us, cares about us, and acts on our behalf.

INTERCESSION

Intercession means to pray on behalf of—and for—other people (1 Timothy 2:1). People can stop us from telling them about Jesus, but they can't stop us from praying for them.We're to pray for our familfriends, Christian leaders, our country, and whatever else God

WHAT IF I DON’T PRAY?

Neglecting to pray is a sin. David said, "Far be it from me that I should sin against the Lord in ceasing to pray for you" (1 Samuel 12:23). Jesus said, "Men ought always to pray and not lose heart" (Luke 18:1).

D. L. Moody summarized the necessity of prayer with this observation: "Jesus never taught His disciples how to preach, but only how to pray."
