Israel As a Nation

Israel May 14th, 1948

The Lord gave the land of Israel to His people after He had miraculously delivered them from the land of Egypt. He wanted a special people to serve Him. He wanted them to enjoy the land that He had blessed, a land that was fruitful because He had given it to them to serve Him.
The children of Israel turned away from the Lord to serve other gods. Gods who had not delivered them from the Egyptians-gods who had not opened the Red Sea for them. God therefore allowed the children of Israel to be taken into captivity by the Assyrians, the Babylonians, the Medes, the Persians, the Greeks, and other foreign armies. He did this hoping they would turn from their evil ways but sadly most of the children of Israel continued in their sins. The children of Israel were thrown out their homeland for hundreds of years. After years of hardships and severe persecution from anti-semitic groups, the Lord gave the Jewish people back their homeland. In 1948 the land of Israel became the homeland of the Jewish people once again.
The Lord delivered His people throughout ages. The following title is a DVD series that recounts different miracles that occurred in the blessed land of Israel: Against All Odds: Israel Survives. It can be found on Amazon. These miraculous stories told in this set should inspire and increase ones faith.

The Blessings and Miracles in Isaiah 61

  The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;

   To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;

  To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified.

  Jesus, our Christ and Savior, has done this for us.
He has anointed us who are saved with good tidings.
He has mended broken hearts.
He has set those who were in bondage to their sins or to their or those who were in literal bondage free.
Those who have had to go to prison for wicked things they have done have accepted Christ as their Savior.
The Lord brought vengeance upon the Satan when He died and rose again. Those who come to Him to receive comfort He comforts.
He reunited Israel as a nation in 1948.
He gave them beauty for the land that was laid desolate-that was desert.
He gave us His Holy Spirit for when when we need comfort
He gave us the Psalms and praise for when we feel overwhelmed.
So that we might be called His. So that people would know we are of Him and that His name may be praised.

Hallelujah!!

The People God Uses Part 2

Does anybody remember the story of Jael in the Bible?
She was the woman that the Lord used to deliver the children of Israel out of the hand of their enemies.
Barak the captain of the host for Israel was told by the prophetess Deborah that the Lord was going to fight their (Israel's) enemies and to go fight against their enemies. Barak told Deborah that he wanted her by his side when he went to fight the battle. Deborah basically said to him because you do not believe that the Lord is going to be with you and because you are a wimp the Lord is not going to deliver the children of Israel into your hands but into the hands of a woman. God is going to show you that he can use anybody to do His will. A woman is going to kill the Lord's and Israel's enemy.
So, Israel went to fight their enemy, (Sisera who was the captain of the host for Jabin the king of Caanan.) and their enemy was greatly discomfited. Sisera fled on his feet from the battle field. As Sisera was running, he came upon the tent of Heber the Kenite's wife, Jael.  Jael invited Sisera into her tent and told him to rest while she got him a cup of milk. She gave him a cup of milk with which he was refreshed, and he went to sleep. While he was sleeping, Jael got a nail of the tent and through Sisera's temples hammered him into the ground!
When Israel had defeated its enemy, they sang a song of Jael, who had listened to God. They did not sing a son of Sisera.
Ironically, Jael's husband was friends with the king of Caanan.
When the Lord sees people who do not want to do what he tells them to do, he gets another person to do it; and the Lord has them do a better job than maybe what he had in mind for you to do.
This was an awesome example that the Lord can use anybody! and the miracle will probably be even greater than originally!
Let's not miss out on being part of the miracle.
When the Lord tells us to do something let's do it- even when it gets hard.

What a Wonderful God!

I was just going through my pictures and thought I should share this with you.
What a beautiful Saviour!
"What a Wonderful World!"
What a wonderful God!
Everything in His universe that He created He created perfect.
Isn't it wonderful what God has created?
Do you think it is wonderful?

Love Re-kindled Part 1

Why do people love?
Love is a wonderful feeling!
It ignites a passion for life in ones soul!
What happens when somebody  becomes discouraged with 'peoples' type of love?
What is it like to feel love for the first time?-Or to have love rekindled?
I know what it is like to believe in love-to feel love re-awaken inside.
As a child, I always believed in love. I believed that a man and a woman could fall in love and stay in love forever. I believed love lived. I never thought loved died.
As I grew older, I started feeling like there were many types of people who say they love yet months later they speak of how much they hate each other.
I began wondering if love still lives, yet I said if love is dead than why do I love?
I prayed to God to give me a renewed love, to totally believe that a man and a woman could love, marry each other, and stay together until the day they both depart from this world. Because 'peoples' love will never live, yet God's love will remain forever! Hallelujah!!!
Just recently, I had love, sweet, Godly unending love rekindled inside my heart!
I hope as the new year settles upon us, we can make the priority to see the miracles that encircle us everyday.
For indeed love is truly a miracle!!!
