Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gave his long anticipated speech at Tel Aviv’s Bar-Ilan University on Sunday night, June 14, to a local audience of mostly conservative Israelis, international diplomats, and journalists. In his nearly 30 minute speech, broadcast to a global audience, Netanyahu mentioned the word “peace” 43 times, hoping that the Palestinians and Arabs will eventually give peace a chance in the troubled Middle East.

As periodically happens, just as I’m writing an article someone sends me an email that speaks to the topic of the article. A precious woman I have become friends with wrote of an illness she was recently experiencing, saying that she had been told by a “prophetic friend” that the devil will attack your body as you’re ministering for the Lord as she was moving forward with a significant project for the Lord.

On July 31, 2008 while in Red Deer, Alberta Canada for a conference, the Lord took me into a very interesting and enlightening revelatory experience.

It seems to me that you misunderstand the biblical concept of salvation, be it ‘Christian’ or ‘Jewish.’ You probably think of salvation in the Hebrew Bible in terms of earthly deliverance and preservation, whereas you understand salvation in the New Testament in totally spiritual terms, referring only to the salvation of the soul.

I regularly meet folks (a number through email) who are delighted to learn more of the Jewish roots of their faith, saying that it brings them closer to the Lord through a greater understanding of what Yeshua said or did. But some, I fear, sound like they are drifting into more of a focus on Torah than on Yeshua.

I’m actually glad that you raised this objection, since it has the merit of acknowledging the importance of sacrifices and offerings in the prophetic books (which is the exact opposite of the premise of objection 3.9). However, from our current vantage point, it is difficult for us to know exactly what God was speaking through the prophets concerning a future Temple with restored sacrifices.

I’ve had some rewarding interactions with some homeless folks in our town as I’ve come across them. When I ask them if they know the Lord Jesus, hoping to perhaps lead them to the Lord if they didn’t, I was at first shocked to hear them say yes.

Pro-Israel supporters have been focused on the new relationship between U.S. President Barak Obama, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The international community has been waiting for a new Middle East peace initiative to come forth from the Obama Administration that will set the agenda for peace negotiations in the region over the next several years.

Shavuot is about birthdays. It will take place beginning sundown May 28th to sundown May 30th this year (2009). Shavuot has great historical and spiritual significance for Israel and for the church.

<p>I&#39;ve been in prayer meetings which had a very serious tone – and suddenly the spirit of laughter has descended. When we were coming into revival years ago I remember someone saying they had read an account of revival in a book- and in this revival at the time, there was a lot of weeping. Our church thought, &quot;Well maybe we should weep because maybe God likes weeping, maybe it&#39;s a way of being holy.&quot;</p>
