pray for Israel


Psalm 122:6-7  NL  

Pray for peace in Jerusalem. May all who love this city prosper. 7  O Jerusalem, may there be peace within your walls and prosperity in your palaces.


Over the last several days attacks and war in Israel has intensified.  The reports have been very difficult to hear, and I cannot imagine what it is like to be in that area at this time.


Pray for Israel.


I asked some friends who have close contacts there how should we pray, and today I share with you what I was sent.  Please join me in praying for the name of Israel.


Here is what I was sent from two different friends:


Pray for recovery of all kidnapped people and Israeli army bases and settlements that were invaded.


Pray for protection of the northern border against infiltration and missile attacks.


Pray for the Israeli government to lead the people with godly wisdom.


Pray for protection from traps and explosives for as troops go in to recover what was lost.


Pray for those who need to be saved and that Jesus will be made known to all.


Additionally speak well of Israel and choose to link your heart with the Christians in Israel who are on the front lines of this war.


Pray for the innocent people in Israel from Gaza.  


Pray against enemies.


There have been many attacks, murders and and more.  Hamas terrorist have caused much damage, and it continues.  As I read reports and see news of the happenings my heart is saddened, and I am also reminded of the spiritual context of Israel, these battles and how we can not turn our heads away from what is happening.


May God do amazing things to protect His people.  May we seek God in the midst of it all.


Pray for Israel.

Francis Chan's "Forgotten God" (brand new book)

One of the most powerful preachers, writers and leaders of our time, in my opinion, is Francis Chan.  His first book, Crazy Love , revolutionized my thoughts about God's love as well as my interacting with God.  Now it is time for a brand new book from Chan being released tomorrow, September 1st.  The book is Forgotten God .   This is a phenomenal book about the power that Christians and the church can and must tap into.  All of it is within the Holy Spirit.  Francis talks about the power that was seen in the book of Acts when the Holy Spirit began to move among people.  It is true that many have avoided or maybe forgotten what the Holy Spirit is all about.   And like the Savior who poured out His life and blood so we have reason to rejoice, we were made to lay down our lives and give until it hurts.  We are most alive when we are loving and actively giving of ourselves because we were made to do these things.  It is when we live like this that the Spirit of God moves and ac...

inspiration from C.S. Lewis

There are many people, past and present, who get our attention by what they write or say or share.  For me C.S. Lewis is one of those.  He was a prolific writer who continues to grab the attention of thinkers from many different points of view. Lewis first grabbed my attention when I was in 5 th grader, and our teacher, Mrs. Foy, shared The Chronicles of Narnia with our class.  It was a powerful time that this dreamer opened doors to thinking like I had never lived before.  He wrote of faith, of far off places and of strong figures who found their character rooted deep in God. C.S. Lewis was born in 1898 and died in 1963, 7 years before I was born.  It wasn’t until his 30’s that under the influence of his friend Tolkien that he came to be a Christian.  He was raised in a traditional church going home, turned away from God as an Atheist in his teen years and through trying to stay away from God and faith returned to God with...
