"So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; it shall not return to Me void...." (Isaiah 55:11a)
Some may think I have been "crying, 'Wolf'" too long, but some of the reports coming out of the Middle East are the most alarming in Israel's modern history. One report which we have placed at: www.apf327.blogspot.com
reveals that Egypt and Iran have "exchanged ambassadors," the first time since the Shah of Iran took asylum in Egypt and the subsequent break in Iranian-Egyptian diplomatic relations. The other at: www.apfjw.blogspot.com reveals the dogged effort of the Arabs living on Israeli Land to "unilaterally" declare an independent Arab state and seize "East" Jerusalem as its capitol.
Furthermore, and just as predicted, the so called "revolutions" in the Middle East, which Barak Obama recently in a Passover seder compared to Israel's Deliverance from Egypt!, are revealing, not "democratic" revolutions, but the continuing march of Islam to world domination. More and more politicians around the world, including the US, are predicting that the Arabs occupying Israeli Land ("Palestinians") will declare statehood with the approval of the United Nations and most of the world governments. The Arab Islamists, in the Middle East and Africa particularly, believe they have a friend in the White House. This has embolden them to do what we have not seen from Islam in centuries.
Okay, what is our position? Pray and declare, "the words of God." We can demonstrate, march, petition, vote, but there is a spirit loose in the earth today which will not respond to such "noble" efforts. I have wondered why on this particular mission the Lord Jesus has led me to daily send the, "words of God," all over Berlin----"....MY WORD...SHALL ACCOMPLISH WHAT I PLEASE, AND IT SHALL PROSPER IN THE THING FOR WHICH I SENT IT."
Last evening we were again with the African Congregation with whom we worked when we lived here in '98-'99. The "sense" of the Presence was powerful. They are a praying people, I mean praying. Their prayer meetings are unlike anything we have in the US. This is no criticism. This is a call to the Church in America to, as the hymn says, "Work For the Night is Coming."
Father, in Jesus' Name, grant me health and strength to "work." Amen.
