Former Israeli Ambassador Explains why Israel must be allowed to Deal with Hamas Decisively

John, Pat, and Steve share an encouraging and insightful conversation about the continual events happening on Israel’s Southern border with Gaza. When interviewed by CBN, former Israeli Ambassador to the United States, Michael Oren, shared concern for an emphasis on a multitude of topics: the de-militarization of Gaza, removal of chemical weapons from Syria’s army, as well as the importance of Israel to bring a significant defeat to Hamas which would stop other organizations from bringing attacks.

In addition, Ambassador Oren shares some insightful truth that Hamas doesn’t necessarily have a military strategy as they do a media strategy. Continually, images are being shown of Israelis fighting, while on the other side, it is continually images of the Palestinians being killed. For those not personally present in the conflict, viewers are at the mercy of what media is presenting. Currently, fighting is still occurring in other parts of Iraq, Baghdad in particular. While the deaths in Baghdad are not headline news, if Israel were to cause deaths, it would make front page news. It is important to remember that God values life regardless of what nationality.

The nation is a land made up of beautifully resilient people, that amidst the continual incoming rocket fire, Israelis remain to carry on the freedoms of life. As the church we must stand with Israel. We must be the media of truth by sharing what is true; share both sides of the story that paints the whole picture. Allow your faith to be lifted, and your witness for Israel to shine brighter as you hear and share what is continually happening in Israel; and so much more. Also shared in this segment: Israel, Hamas, Al-Qaeda, media, terrorism, warfare, prayer, and CBN.

Trustworthiness and Resourcefulness: Keys to a Blessed and Fruitful Life for God- Can You Stand to Be Blessed?

John, Pat, and Steve have an encouraging conversation about how to live a blessed life. Many people want more in life, while not being grateful with what they already have. For those who have a job, who have a family, it’s an important perspective to remember the many that do not have work or unable to have children. God looks for those He can bless. He also wants to give blessings to those that He knows won’t leave Him in the blessings. It is important, as the church, to seek the heart of God, not the hand of God. We all must give an account of how we have managed all that has been entrusted to us in this life. True riches are not in this life, but in the life to come, with Jesus. Be encouraged as you learn how to manage life to the eyes of One, how to be faithful with what has been entrusted, and so much more.

Prophesy: News Anchors will Be Shaken as they Report Perilous Upcoming World Events: God is Establishing His News Anchors who will Prophesy News even before it Happens, Power of God to Save, Heal and Deliver will come through media.

Greg, Pat, and John share an exciting and encouraging prophetic word given by Bill Yount, and Blowing the Shofar Ministries. God is going to deal with the whole concept of news. By simply not just reporting on the repetitious happenings throughout the world, God is raising up those who will declare peace, His perspective upon what is happening, and be witnesses to the world of the greatness of who He is.

“These anchormen and anchorwomen will come forth from deep waters of the unknown. They will not only report the perilous news but will have the treasures and the riches of Christ inside of them, so that the anointing of God will come right through the radio and television screens as people become convicted by their radiant countenance and peace in the midst of chaos.”

God is revealing and making known that He has His own plan of what He is going to do and declare His name mightily across the Globe. If we know the truth of God’s word, we must be bold witnesses to declare it to all of creation. As this word confirms much of what God has already made known, difficult days are ahead of us, BUT those who are the Lord’s will be directed on how to respond and what to do. Be greatly encouraged as you hear what the Spirit is saying to the church, and so much more. Also shared in this segment: John Paul Jackson, Perfect Storm, Prudent Preparation, USS Missouri, Bob Jones, Paul Keith Davis, Rick Joyner, Cuba, Russia, Homeland Security, prayer, and hope.
