Sound the Shofar

Sound the Shofar - Call in the Troops!

There’s a phrase that is frequently used when someone is under fire and in need of addition help. You “Call in the troops!” Ive been doing a lot of that lately and so have others. God, because He so loves us, has created the angelic hosts to not only worship Him and do His bidding but to also assist us when we need help to carry out what He has called us to do.

Sound The Shofar - Level The Mountains!

As I sat down to write to you, I had two pressing things to share. First, I have been overwhelmed with the love of a mother weeping for her children, as Rachel did for her’s. I’ve learned of children who have been trafficked and abused, runaways, simply angry and rebellious children and those separated from us through division and misunderstandings and sinful living, lost and wandering in confusion.

Sound the Shofar - Teshuva, Repentance is a Choice

Daily we are faced with decisions that require a choice and we are the only ones who can make it. We choose to get out of bed. We choose to get dressed and choose what we will wear. We choose to eat or not to eat. We choose to take action or defer. We choose to enter in fully with life or retreat. We choose who to listen to and who to reject. We choose to defy God or obey Him.

Sound the Shofar, Praying for Leaders August 2, 2020

There probably has been no other president in our nation’s history that has been prayed for as much as President Donald John Trump. I say he was appointed to his position by God because that’s what the Word says in Romans 13:1 Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God.

Nothing to Fear But Fear Itself

It’s so sad to me that when I go into a grocery store and I see people frantically shopping in aisles, eyes darting to and fro, I smell the frustration and fear. Signs telling you at the entrance you will be denied entry unless you cover your face with a mask. Then I read doctors’ reports that say the mask benefits those with infection but are detrimental to those who are healthy as it inhibits natural immunity building.

Look to Israel

Every prayer letter I write to you ends with praying for the Peace of Jerusalem. When I read Psalm 122, I only see a clear instruction that isn’t really negotiable. God is always aware and focused on Israel. In fact in Psalm 121, He says He will never slumber or sleep and is always ready to save Israel from the plans of the enemy. He wants us to pray and to remember. And when we pray for the Peace of Jerusalem, we are praying for Messiah’s final return to the city He loves, the New Jerusalem.

How Will You Be Weighed?

On Monday June 29, 2020 the Supreme Court of the United States struck out when it decided it was no longer going to stay in its designated legal lane of judicial interpretation and ruling and instead legislated outside the Constitution of the United States. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas filed a blistering opinion dissenting the decision to strike down a Louisiana law that required abortion doctors to obtain admitting privileges at a nearby hospital, calling the court’s record on abortion "grievously wrong."
