"The Redemption of Jerusalem"

"At that very moment she came up and began giving thanks to God, and continued to speak of Him to all those who were looking for the redemption of Jerusalem." (Luke 2:28, NASB)

I was on bus 7 today, a transfer from the bus I used to visit the Knesset.  Sitting next to me was a young Orthodox Jew, Luke 2 was playing on my ipod; I aimed the speaker at him. 

When this passage came, I found it quite a start.  I, probably like most, always thought it said, "redemption of Israel," but it does not.  It says, "looking for the redemption of Jerusalem," the Capitol of Israel always, "the City of the Great King."  Jesus came to redeem mankind, to save us from our sins, bring us into the Government of God, the family of God.  The Prophetess, Anna, made this prophesy which was fulfilled in the Baby right before her, and whose coming we are in the season of celebrating.  Because of Jesus, Jerusalem is my home too, "And all nations will flow to it."

I'm heading out to share in a Bible Study.  If you receive this soon, please keep me and the group in prayer.  Please see the article by Carolyn Click at: www.apf327.blogspot.com
Obama, Clinton, and Pannetta are revealing themselves to be the new "Axis of Evil."  I am deeply concerned for the United States of America if fools elect this administration to another term.  You cannot be blessed and curse Israel at the same time.

Father, in Jesus' Name, please give the United States of America a President who has surrendered his life to Jesus Christ and loves your Words.  Amen.

"Looking unto Jesus"

Hebrews 12:2

"The Lord Merely Spoke"

"The Lord merely spoke, and the heavens were created.  He breathed the word, and all the stars were born." (Psalm 33:6, NLT)

This has been a unique mission in the Land. I have played through the Bible once, the New Testament 3 times and the Gospels 4.  Jesus is the, "stumbling block to the Jews," yet I have "felt" great power in His Words permeating the air here.  I know to many I seem a little "out there" on this, but those who know my testimony know that it was the, "God-Breathed," Word Who saved my life over 41 years ago----- and still does today.  If, "The Lord merely spoke, and the heavens were created," what is possible for you and me and nations when we receive what He, "merely spoke," and speaks?  Nothing less that the same creative power is loosed.  "He breathed the Word, and all the stars were born," and so was I.  Peter tells us that we are, "born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible through the word of God which lives and abides forever, because 'All flesh is grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of the grass.  The grass withers, and its flower falls away, but the word of the Lord endures forever.'"  The only One and the only "thing" Who endures is Jesus Christ and His Words, "and His Name is called, 'The Word of God.'"

Thank you so much to all who are praying; my health is good, and I believe I have been accomplishing what I have "followed" Jesus here to do (John 12:26).  Thanks again to all who invested in this mission.  There are always unexpected expenses and you have made sure that I can meet the "surprises."  For those who have been praying daily for the "Unreached People Groups," I have been keeping up with posting them at: www.apfunreachedpeoples.blogspot.com

There is also a very prophetic article about what is going on in Europe, revealing the growing strength of Germany-- very interesting read @: www.apf327.blogspot.com

Also, if you have never watched the prophetic video, "The Rape of Europe," I highly recommend skipping that favorite sitcom and go to: www.antipasprayerforce2.blogspot.com

Father, in Jesus' Name, Your Word goes forth, and may You keep coming forth in my life and in this land, and the lands of those who receive this.  Amen.
