"Your Enemies Will Dream.., But All To No Avail"

"All the nations fighting against Jerusalem will vanish like a dream!  Those who are attacking her walls will vanish like a vision in the night.  A hungry person dreams of eating but is still hungry.  A thirsty person dreams of drinking but is still faint from thirst when morning comes.  In the same way, your enemies will dream of a victorious conquest over Jerusalem, but all to no avail."(Is 29:7,8 NLT)
(Note article below!)
 
I was warned last evening on a conference prayer call that if someone were to complain about my "inflammatory rhetoric," FHMP could lose its 501c3 (non profit) status.  My only thought was, "If there are people who can be held hostage by any government just over a tax break, then I want nothing to do with them anyway."  What would you do if you did not receive a tax deduction for your tithe and offerings?  Charles Simpson once said, "Taking the path of least resistance makes both rivers and men crooked."  The history of man is an unshakable affirmation of this truth. 
 
Our text is a solemn warning to the nations who plan and "dream of a victorious conquest over Jerusalem," or over any other purpose of the Blessed Trinity revealed in Jesus Christ.  They are on an "all-to-no-avail" path.  We daily face the choice to take the path of least resistance, to go along with the government, the employer, the family, and friends who want an easy life.  But life for a Believer in Jesus Christ is only "easy" when we walk in obedience to Jesus and His Word.
 
Some have asked how to pray for the upcoming visit of PM Netanyahu on May 18.  First, read the article on the Blog site to which I refer below.  It explains the reason Netanyahu did not come for the conference I attended.  Second, realize that Obama's roots are in Islam, not in Jesus Christ.  He will attempt, as did many of his predecessors, to bully Nethanyahu to give up Jerusalem and more "land for peace," which is the biggest farce in modern American diplomacy.   And be sure to read also the article by Caroline Glick of the Jerusalem Post which I sent last evening.  One prayer suggestion is to pray Psalm 33:10, 11, "The LORD nullifies the counsel of the nations; He frustrates the plans of the peoples.  The counsel of the LORD stands forever, the plans of His heart from generation to generation." 
 
Father, in Jesus' Name, "let all the earth fear You....Nullify the counsel of the nations....Frustrate the plans of the peoples."  I affirm Your degree, "The counsel of the LORD stands forever, the plans of Your heart from generation to generation.  Let those who dream of "a victorious conquest over Jerusalem" be "put to shame."  Amen.
